Xbmc 13.1 for AML8726-MX - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
Since I'm new on the forum and I'm not allowed to post in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418029, i'm doing it here...
I just bought and received a E-M6 Android tv device, with the AML8726-MX chipset.
It came with Android 4.2 and XMBC 12.3 installed as an Android app.
I was not able to update the XMBC app to the latest version, tried all kinds of things.
Plus, as I only want to use this device for watching/streaming videos, i don't need all the Anroid shizzle, so I decided to flash the device.
I used an image from the topic above (MX_LINUX-1.00-G18REF_MX2REF-NEWMTD-update.zip)
Flash was succesful within a few minutes (I used an Sandisk Class 10 SD card)
After reboot, I see it's also XBMC 12.3.
Is there another image that I can flash my device with? And that embeds XBMC 13 or 13.1?
Thanks in advance if someone can help me out!!

Find the xbmc apk in your update image and replace it with the version you want install. Most likely it's in /system/app. Reflash and you should be good.

Thanks 4 reply, but there is no apk file in the image.
The image contains an MX Linux with xbmc 12.4 embedded in a way I don't know neither understand
Can you maybe download the image as well and check some things (see first post for url),
Any other ideas?

There is a very good Gotham build out by codesnake. It's called openelec 4.xx. That exactly what you are looking for

This device is almost 10 years old, it wouldn't be worth it anyway, most of today's apps don't work with android versions older than 4.4-5.0 and your device wouldn't be able to handle android 5.0, it would be way too slow and unstable.

MSI WindPad Enjoy 7 firmware update

If you have an MSI windpad 7 or 10 and want to update its firmware, here is the link to the latest : http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#/?div=Firmware
Fair warning : This 2.3 gingerbread update doesn't improve performance much, it looks better than android 2.2 but people report different bugs that I didn't experience myself.
A bug I am experiencing with it is that its bluetooth and wifi are going crazy, not detecting devices like they used to do on android 2.2. be warned if you use this tablet with your car's bluetooth, it probably will stop connecting to it after the 2.3 update.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : if anyone just bought this tablet and still has android 2.2 on it, please be cool and catch an image of it to share with us who updated to the buggy firmware. MSI customer support sucks, they don't keep old firmware on their website!
Here's how you can make an "image" of your firmware : http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
You should end up with a .img file that you can reinstall later if you find out the update is buggy for you.
Don't hesitate to post or PM me if you need help.
Hi adilator, just found this post via a google search. I have a windpad 7 that I havent updated yet. Am happy to do an image of it when I get home later.
Was hoping to find a way to get Skype video working on the damn thing but guessing this firmware update doesnt help so wont put myself through it
Hi leemako.
The normal skype you download from android play (market) doesn't work on this tablet, you need to use the one bundled with its original firmware. if you updated skype and it's not working, you can easily revert the update and go back to the original installation by going to the applications management page and click on "unistall updates".
is your tab on android 2.2 or did it come with 2.3 preinstalled?
I'd really appreciate your help if you can share the img with us.
Btw, if you must root the tab, don't do the root img available on a thread in this forum, it will install a new version of the firmware with the bug I'm trying to avoid. You should test the various froyo root tools available such as Z4root or gingerbreak, look here : http://www.itsmyiphoneworld.com/android-device/howtorootandroidversionfroyo222
ah sorry, I just checked and it was bundled with 2.3.1.
Hey it's ok leemako.
For anyone landing on this page after a search, if you're looking for the best custom rom for this tablet, here's where you should look : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668786
It's a great rom based on the latest official rom but with an ICS skin that makes it look a million times better.

Hi Sam,
unfortunately I was not able to find a direct answer to your question on xda.
I only found this thread about your device: [ROM][Linux/XBMC] OpenELEC for Amlogic-based TV-Boxes (WeTek Play, M8, MX2).
It has a Q&A thread, in which you can post your questions if you register on xda.
And here some threads about XBMC:
[root] xbmc - choppy avi playback solution - mount samba share - external mxplayer
[APP] [Windows] Amazon FireTV Utility App v0.38
troubleshooting choppy xvid playback in gotham xbmc
Maybe there you can get a better advice.
Thread closed. Thank you.

[Completed] getting errors when upgrading to android 5 on bk808b plus tv stick

Hi
am trying to flash my bk808b plus to andriod 5 using the images from here
rom 2015-01-22
my current rom is finless1.1
i am using twrp to perform the upgrade but i keep getting the following error message
this package is for device: wetek; this device is x8_h
there is only 2 files on the sd card its a tandy 16gb class 10
rom 2015-01-22 and gapps 2015-01-07(lte)
the upgrade to finless 1.0 and 1.1 had no issues
does this rom image work with the bk808b plus?
i have followed the instructions to the letter.
my aim if i am reading it correctly should then give me hopefully hd sound pass through dolby true hd and dts master hd
i can then stop using my wd live box as it does bot support x265
also another issue i have found on the latest version of kodi/xbmc/sbmc helix 14.1 when i play any video content I only get 1/4 size display of video not full screen, go back to older version and all is ok has any one else seen this?

Are you talking about this ROM: [ROM][5.0.2] Unofficial CyanogenMOD 12 for MK808B-Plus - WeTek Gift?
You should ask in the ROM's thread ... if available.
I recommend to register on xda and ask in the Android Stick Computers forum.
There you should get best help and answers on your questions.
Good luck !
Thread closed. Thank you!
