Minix X7 Hybrid Firmware (HFW) 1.2.1 by lewy20041

[Molle]

ok uploading 3.0 ver

Maybe it's time to rename the thread to be version-independent or create a new thread for 3.0.

[lewy20041]

Hey guys, just wanted to check in and ask a couple things here.

First off, I tried half the day today to get the new 3.1 FW to flash on my X7, no go... even though I know all the details of using Finless tool, erase, then rockchip to flash, etc. Usually powered down for good, couple times blank screen for over 20 min with nothing ever happening.

Anyhow, I found the older 2.03 and it worked perfectly the first time. Is all good for now because we still use a 720p TV. I am running this with lewy's justXBMC v2 and in very early tests, things seem good and smooth, even 1080p files that I have (with a couple visible stutters). We will be upgrading the TV soon and all my HDD movie files are 1080p, so if now or later, of course I need them to play smoothly.

Previously I ran Finless 1.8 O/C'd w> 720p-1704/798/800, my ANTUTU score was 20850.
I noticed you said that the kernel is O/C'd on this 2.03, can you give the details please on CPU, GPU, RAM, as my score has dropped down to 17360, and I would like to compare to what I ran before from Bob, as I am looking to eliminate all those stutters and run the box as high as possible while stable.

Thanks much for everything.

UPDATE:

Will still be nice to know the specs on the standard installed kernel, but I already moved ahead with a new test and man is it running great! New setup is updated in my signature.

Will post as I progress with testing and real-world use. Thanks.

pl2303 issue

First want to say thank you for this awesome thing.

I have an issue I can't resolve by myself. I would like to use Prolific pl2303 usb<->serial adapter. I can't make it work. I see /dev/ttyUSB0 but it doesn't work as serial port. In dmesg I see:

<6>[ 1844.751839] usb 2-1.4.5: new full speed USB device number 10 using usb20_host
<6>[ 1844.853186] usb 2-1.4.5: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303
<6>[ 1844.853292] usb 2-1.4.5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
<6>[ 1844.853395] usb 2-1.4.5: Product: USB-Serial Controller C
<6>[ 1844.853462] usb 2-1.4.5: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
<6>[ 1844.855524] option 2-1.4.5:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
<6>[ 1844.856420] usb 2-1.4.5: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Obviously it should be handled by pl2303.ko, but it seems it's not so.

Thanx in advance.

Audio Bluetooth issue

when did you download it?
now the ver in fist post have it fixed.
if you dont want to download it again just use es explorer and delete
/system/app/Bluetooth.plus.apk

I installed the ROM and everything works perfectly. I have a problem with the bluetooth audio:
I paired the minix x7 mini to my "Micro HI-FI System LG" via bluetooth, but when I watch streaming video (youtube, vimeo, streaming tv channels, etc ...), about every 10 seconds streaming stops and then resumes for a few seconds, then stops again, again, again. If I turn off the Bluetooth audio, streaming works without problems. I have already verified that the bluetooth of my "Micro HI-FI System LG" works well, because when I connect my Macbook air or my laptop windows, streaming audio/video no hitches. I would like to know if there is some solution or if there is any system configuration to fix this problem.
Thank You !!!

PS. the minix x7 mini is in the same room as the "Micro HI-FI System LG". The distance is about 4 meters, without walls or objects that separate them.
