• Sorry due to need stock custom kernel for VP9 to work, i cant use my Kernel.. so NO PROPER RGB FIX... it uses the one from stock.
• On 1º boot when you setup in english language the on screen keyboard may not show when you going to put you wifi password, to fix it go back and change to another language and then go right back again to english and the on screen keyboard should be working now(you need to click it): YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE AND ONLY IN ENGLISH!
• Only update "su" if you are going to to stay at root if are not going to stay at root and you are going to be doing a lot of changes between the two dont update it! Or you will get a boot animation loop...
• Ugoos Firefly it needs ugoos kernel so dont turn it on because it wont work...

Hello superceleron,

Thanks for the new version.

After install Amazon video with tvapp repo, there is a message 'unfortunately, TV app repo has stopped'.

The app link is shown, because when I click it, a new message 'unfortunately, Amazon video has stopped'.

Is it possible that u publish a 'normal' version. ATV is to much for my eyes.

One question: is it possible to install nova launher?

First a big thanks to superceleron for his great work one more time . Now if somebody can help me I am trying to download kodi 17.1 one and really doesn't have a browser how can I download the app ?

[plus]

Ehmmm... hi guys I'm new here and I'm reading with interest 'cause I'm thinking about buying a mecool bb2 pro. btw, WHAT IS FTMC?? some kind of kodi alternative build?? thanx all the best to you

Hello plus, Welcome to Freaktab. FTMC is a Kodi derivative made by Freaktab developer Superceleron. See here.

I am trying to download kodi 17.1 one and really doesn't have a browser how can I download the app ?

Go into the TVApp Repo and download Chrome. For me the Main Icon does not work. I have to go into Sideload Launcher to start Chrome correctly.
Now you can download the newest Kodi, but before you can successfully install it you have first to uninstall the FTMC App.

To be honest, I prefer the normal Android apps like Play Store and Youtube. But I will keep this Rom first because the original firmware currently has some annoying bugs.

Thanks for your ROM, but I prefer ordinary Android apps (such as Play Store), the theme application due to the sub-TV and the general, can switch using the remote control TV, the general mouse, I try to install the general Play store failed, have to install 1 mobile store solution, look forward to the next better rom, tv Play store,but can be used app too little.
I'm sorry, my English is bad, I'm from Taiwan

Thank you for your response . Yes I found it I already install chrome but for me the main icon is working I can start chrome from the home screen and I don't have to go to the side load launcher .
