Hi there,

thx

Yes and no,

generally no Wifi because of different chip-set (and because of that no Bluetooth)...
yes if the rest fits, perhaps lan...
normally you have to use, because of the AP6210 (WiFi/Bluetooth), one of these rom
T-R42 custom firmware by wasser
NEW - Finless ROM 2.0 - KitKat 4.4.2 for AP6210 wifi - BETA
normally wasser rom includes xbmc

PS:
But perhaps you have to use (try) this
T-R42 2.0 Board Firmware by lewy20041

And generally for xbmc have a look at
Beyond XBMC (Beta 3.3)

Hi,

if have tried justxbmc yesterday and it worked nearly perfectly. I have no problems with WiFi. But when i have watched a series it will crash with a strange screen (stripes and bricks). I my manual it says that i have a "T-R42 ||".

What i want to do:
i want to have the box to start directly into xbmc. Is this possible with the fw of wasser ?

thx

and use google https://www.google.de/search?q=android+autostart

[Nailgun]

is this the only way, i have to use an app like startup manager :-(

It seems so because there doesn't exist a list or folder (like windows) because it works via events (system-wide message):

Where can we get the Ouya Mode plugin?.. would this be compatible with the T-R42 (2.0 firmware)

Hi,

To figure out what firmware/kernel works for your unit
We first need to know.. what version/revision you have.. this is done by opening the unit
And then looking at the pcb/motherboard

As reference for some models

Note.. to open-up the unit
There are screws under need the rubber-pads of your unit

Goodluck

After that, generally maybe there exist a custom rom and maybe next step you will find a solution like this XBMC won't autostart (or) with maybe Beyond XBMC
