Well more of the same with this Rom at Present.
Google Problems, is about all we have, and weather not connecting,

Just annoying things that don't make the OBE enjoyable but as we know it happens...
Running Android 6 this time, Root and Taskbars etc....

Found another Rom on there website about to flash to see if it helps as it has no indication to the date of the .img file, I am going to guess its the same at the present.

Flashed Rom even older than what was installed way back December 2016...and same google issues....
Next we tried a Different Launcher to see if that will do good or bad
Well it did Good most seems to be working OK.

Only thing we have lost is Control of the LED on the Box it stays Blue and can't be switched off or cycle colours but i can live with that..
Some apps not running in Full landscape, build prop fix for that. Enter on Keyboard end the generic.kl
a few minor fixes and all seems in order...

Testing to come...
