I did not use the CD

I don't think I even opened the CD. Have not missed it yet.

After getting the unit, I turned it on to make sure it worked then flashed it using Bob's Finless 1.6b within 10 minutes. I had downloaded it and read the included instructions before the unit arrived.

The drivers (and instructions) are included in the Finless ROM Zip file in the first post of this thread.

My CX-919 stick did not have a picture on the TV when it went into bootloader mode. You should first see that Windows found new hardware. After the driver install per instructions, the flash software should find the stick. After flashing, the stick should automatically reboot and come up normal.

All of this is covered in the instructions provided in the Finless ROM Zip file. Bob made it pretty easy for us.

Don't know if you can use a 64 G SD Card. I am using a 32 G.

Hope this helps...Brad

thanks so i dont need to use the included cd at all?

My TV displayed the green robot properly while in boot loader mode. At least I could see when partitions where formatted etc. Maybe that is another mode though, I am not sure.

Tested yesterday with latest xbmc nightly and it worked fine for the few samples I ran it with.

I got 17.5k points in antutu with 1.6Ghz, 600Gpu, 667Ram and 720p. The score seems a bit low, but the experience was pretty smooth.

It'd be nice with 1080p, hopefully I can get that working at some point if noone happens to do it before.

It did not stutter at all that I could see, which version SDK is this based on, 1, 2 or something else? (I realize it is the newly released one, I just don't know what version it is)

Signature? Signature!

Keyboard

I also use the Logitech K400 and give it high marks. My brother something smaller and got the Measy RC-12. He is not too happy with it. It does work but it "falses" a lot on the mouse movement. He has now ordered an "Air Mouse" but has not got it (from China) yet.

I also installed the the Null Keyboard (on google play) to stop the on screen keyboard from popping up.

Hope this helps...Brad

720p, memory and GPU are not changed by me, but cpu is overclocked to 1800. This is imho, a strange setup. I see most improvements by overclocking memory, not cpu. As stated earlier, your mileage my vary. You can probably not run this without active cooling.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I'll report back...Brad

I use the Logitech K400 and that's all. It works perfect for me for everything and I even taught my Wife to use it! Let me tell you that was a success and an accomplishment! She can barely use the remotes we have to change boxes, etc. She loves it!

I saw the RK3188 Spec a few places.

One is: http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/late...0mhz-3511.html

I assume it needs proper cooling. Of course proper cooling is anyone's guess without studying and understanding the manufacturers cooling spec.

My thought was to try to see how it does at what I understand to be it's rated speed. I added heatsinks but not a fan.

It certainly seems to me that you have more experience with the chip and overclocking in general. I generally do not overclock chips but I thought I might try it as it is within the manufacturer's spec. Mostly just playing to see how fast it can go...

I was thinking 1.8, 800, 500 (CPU, ram, GPU)

Thank you again for your thoughts and assistance.

Edit: BTW: I looking at your suggestion about learning to fish
