Custom ROM  for the following mini pc:

http://www.geekbuying.com/Search/?keyword=CX-803ROM Download link

Changelog:

1) Rockchip just released a updated libstagefright.so to try and fix HW decoding issues in XBMC.
I have added this to the ROM but have not fully tested it yet.
See info here regarding this new library.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php…756#pid1345756
The original library is still but renamed as libstagefright.old so tou can out it back if you want!
Use ES file explorer (turn on root explorer and mount system RW) and go to /system/lib/
Rename libstagefright.so to libstagefright.new
Rename libstagefright.old to libstagefright.so
Reboot. YOu now have the original lib file.

3) New “auto hide” status bar! To enable this go into settings>Display and turn it on.
Now anytime you run an APP it will automatically hide the status bar. Please note, some badly written APPs
can leave you in a stuck condition that you cannot exit the APP. You will need you keyoard exit key.

4) While you in settings>display there is another feature to force the settings menu icon in the status bar.
It is 3 dots vertically. NOw anytime you in a APP that has a settings capability, if you click that you get settings!

3) Lock screen is back friends! Now is settings>security you can
A) Disable the lock screen completely (default is slide)
b) Setup a pattern for lock screen
c) Setup a PIN for lock screen
d) Setup a password for lock screen

5) Sleep is back like a tablet!!!! Go into settings>display and you can turn on sleep!
Now understand how this works
a) If there is no wifi or ehternet connection the cx802/FX5 when it goes to sleep will power off.
b) If there is a connection, it will simple go into low power mode and turn the display off. Moving the mouse turns it back on again

6) I enabled location services. This is now in the settings menu. Tested and working with all APPs that use it.
remember to turn off GPS as we have no GPS.

7) New “grid” style launcher available as a choice of launcehrs.
Some people still want the Alternate launcher that comes with many TV sticks for EZ TV use.
I took this from the Neo X5 ROM as I liked it better than previous versions. This of course comes with the RK settings as well.
If you want to remove this just use ES File explorer and delete these files from /system/app
LauncherNEW.apk
AllApp.apk
RKSettings.apk
RKBasicsettings.apk
Now just reboot and all this will be gone.

Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
Many of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
Special thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.

9) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say “not compatible”.
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
Your device will show up in google play as NOT a cx802/FX5 device! Understand this please.
I also left the original buiild.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a Minis Nexo X5.

10) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is… ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!

11) RK Mirrioring is enabled. I have yet to figure it out or how to use it but if we ever do, its there.
I think we need a client on our tablets to use it. Hopefully more info will come from WiMo about this.

12) Remote Control using RK Remote APP is now fully supported!
In the ROM kit is a RKRemoteControl.apk.
You install this on your phone or tablet and now it can remotly control your TV player!
Just put the APK on sdcard or something and install it on your Android phone, tablet, etc.
ENJOY this one! I had a HARD TIME getting it to work!

13) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).

14) As always I added the Xbox XPAD.KO module is now injected on boot. This was by request! Enjoy!

15) I added Xbox360 keylayout to fix some games and camera spin with xbox 360 controller. Per this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show….php?t=1792531

16) TUN.ko module is also added by request. (CIFS and MD4 are already in the latest kernel).
Be aware if you use another kernel other than whats in this ROM, you may have to manuall insmod CIFS and MD4.
The files are in /system/lib/modules

17) This ROM has options for you to choose from for flashing so please read carefully how to change these flash options.
I have provided 4 parameter files. These will increase APP space and decrease internal sdcard space.
1GB APP space. This is the default for the flash tool unless you change it.
2GB APP space.
4gb APP space.
6gb APP space. This leave very little left for Internal SDcard. Some APP hungry people like that 

CX-803, a rk3066 dual core mini pc which come with external wifi antenna. Recently, our friends just help us to make a 1080P custom rom for this CX-803.

Please notice:

A 1080 kernel will have much more overhead! It is drawing much more pixels on the screen.
So this kernel is ONLY for people that insist on have true 1080P and are willing to see a performance degradation.

How to install?

First you should follow this instruction and install the 1.7 custom rom on those cx-803 mini pc.

http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/03/11/custom-rom-for-cx-803-mini-pc-rootedsmartphone-controlauto-hide-status-barsoft-reboot/

Second, you should go to here to download the newest 1080 kernel for cx-803.

And there is a fully readme file in the download kernel file, you just need to flash the boot, and kernel, and then you will get a real 1080p firmware on cx-803.

We have tested, and it can work, here is some screenshot

Screen is scale from 720p to 1080P, Again, a firmware upgrade can make it to real 1080P output like other rk3066 dual core mini pc.
