NEW - Prometheus Finless ROM 1.3

[convict]

And then how to power it up after that? Am curious.

If you have a normal keyboard, wireless or not, just press ctrl+alt+delete.
It works for me

It's not working, the devices freezes.

Bob,

Is it possible to add a shutdown button on the bottom bar like you did for MK808 ?

So this rom works only for the 4gb model?

That is veeery interesting. If it works with a key-sequence on a wireless keyboard, can it be done with a gyro air-mouse too?
Does this player come with an IR receiver? If not, is there a way to attach an IR receiver on it and control the player with a IR remote? If so, would it be possible to use a power on button on the IR remote control to power up the player?
Cheers

Only reboot works on the reboot apps that I have tried. I guess that is why this box has a physical shutdown switch. I learned that some android boxes and sticks can do soft shutdown.

Please read previous posts but this rom works for both 4gb and 8gb models.

Awesome...Thanks! This is my first foray into android based media players. This ROM was easy to flash and install onto my Prometheus.

One thing I noticed though, is that there is a gap between the SD card port and the Prometheus body. My first attempt to put the card in was a total failure; it fell right into the body of the prometheus, which I had to disassemble to get the card out. After that everything worked great!

A few things from testing...not sure if this is a hardware issue or what. Maybe someone has experience with this:

1) Mouse seems to go out of alignment. I have just a USB corded mouse, and after a bit of use the arrow tip is no longer the 'point' of the mouse. Sometimes it moves to the lower left quadrant of the mouse pointer.

2) Is there a way to change what is on the main screen? I'm trying to build something for my parents which will only give 2 options: Netflix and XBMC.

Thanks again for this great ROM...much, much better than the bloated version that came stock installed!

Hi,have been following this thread with interest.
I have one of these units,4GB, on order & I intend to put this rom on it once it arrives.

A question to those who are using it. I have read that there were issues with the unit overheating. Does this still happen or do the units now have a heatsink fitted to keep them cool.
Thanks

I did not notice a heat sink on mine when I opened it, but did not look. I've only had mine for a week now, but I've left it on for 5 days straight with no issues at all. The unit is midly warm to the touch, but that's all.

[jgbyr]

Thanks for that. Maybe the issue is fixed now.
