i have to say sadly that after updating my geekbox the past weekend to Geekbox_Lollipop_Lubuntu_dualOS_V160129
it was a dissapointment for me, youtube barelly working statters all the time, kodi 15.2 not so well in video playback, i haven't tried any games because i was angry with the perfomance of the box, i also had the impression that the perfomance of the box wasn't as fast as it was before so the Optimize the CPU scheduling and improve the performance it's not actually improved , and in the previous firmware Cross_Lollipop_Lubuntu_dualOS_V151129 that came with the box i didn't encountered those problems so for me i went back to the firmware that came with the box.
Hope to see another firmware release soon and perhaps marshmallow.
one thing i found is if you download from playstore some app and play with cpu because it is set to interactive, change it to perfomance and the box becomes much snappier and the temps is fine no overheating.
