[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MXIII-G & Tronsmart MXIII+

[MinixCrazy]

When I try to load the zip I get signature errors, I have knockoff MXIII's Hardware doesn't even look the same... They are MXIII MBX not MXIII-G's...

Hi MinixCrazy,

It is normal to see no change in the boot logo, as we no longer replace the original devices bootloader (unless you flash myKK/LP bootloader images)

If you remove the sdcard, does toothpick/boot actually boot into recovery? You may need to copy across the "recovery.img" from my KK bootloader zip onto your sdcard first & see if that works. I have noticed that some box's recovery don't like the new "dual-boot" enabling method, but thankfully the old method seems to work with just about everything [/QUOTE]

Don't think it that easy...

Howdy All,

I have just uploaded a new test build here & a new build based on kszaq's latest release here

Both these builds include kszaq 's new kernel - Of most interest, is the new wifi chip driver's, which I believe *finally* gives us stable ap6330 wifi drivers! (These drivers are still relatively new, so YMMV

I haven't had time to do much testing of these builds (work/busy/etc), but I'm really excited about these new wifi drivers!

Enjoy!

awesome, thanks man question, for these zipped img files, can they only be installed to SD card? or can they be installed via toothpick method?

Just got a couple of new boxes in for my brother and tried to program them? They will not toothpick boot the OE ZIP???

They startup with Smart TV logo instead of Google TV and the firmware is MXIII.V3.0.201601261040. They say on the side of the box MXIII-G 4K 2G/8G S812 installed with KitKat 4.4.2?

Hello Wilro,

Thx a lot for your great work
I use OE with kerber release for my old S82 (s802) device... now i ug se your version for my mx3 S812 device ;-)

I plug my OE device on a LG tv... what version is ok of CEC function please?
Seems 6.03b doesn't handle CEC.

Regards.

Hello roolmapool,

With the exception of one of my older no-name TV's here (which refuses to boot when cec signals are sent to it), cec mostly works - Have you gone into your addon's (wetek hdmi cec) & enabled & turned it on? The addon defaults to being disabled on new installs to ensure maximum compatibility, & is one of the 1st things I disable when I experience TV/remote problems

Hi roolmapol,

I hace tested all Wilro's roms and 6.0.1e works fine in a LG TV.

Hello forokhay,

I tested all Wilro's rom, and no one had CEC working on my LG TV :/
Now, i flashed Kerver 6.01 rom and CEC is OK... Strange.

i'Il will check again.

Thanks for your reply

So far so good on OE7... smooth operator. I did an android install/wipe/toothpick install, did not restore, installed add-ons new from repo's. All NAS videos play smooth and the kids are having no problems with streams. Have noticed some slight pixilation of some NAS movies and streams not seen in OE6. Also is cache bigger? Streamed content works very well...

Thanks go to all involved with OE on these boxes!

good to hear. tempted to take the plunge, but 6.0.1 is working so well right now.

I notice that when upgrading to Jarvis, there are new database files created in Kodi - might that have something to do with OE 7 looping?
