This fixes the license check for some gameloft games.<br \/>\nBefore this patch many gameloft games would crash to the desktop and now run. e.g. like Wonder Zoo<br \/>\nThese now work.<\/p>\n<p>3) I have highly modified build.prop to give you the most APPs show up in google play.<br \/>\nBuild.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say &#8220;not compatible&#8221;.<br \/>\nI am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.<br \/>\nYour device will show up in google play as NOT a MK808 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.<br \/>\nGo into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.<br \/>\nReboot! You should be back to showing up as a MK808.<\/p>\n<p>4) Updated build.prop to fix the version number. my original 1.6 reported as 1.5a<\/p>\n<p>5) I put back in the RK Settings by request<\/p>\n<p>EVERYTHING ELSE BELOW STILL APPLIES same as my 1.6 ROM<br \/>\nIf you do not want to erase and reflash but want the new kernel.<br \/>\nSimply uncheck everything in the flash tool and flash only kernel.img<br \/>\nHowever, if you have stability issues then I reccomend a erase and reflash!<br \/>\nChanging the kernel does not always work properly depending on changes in the kernel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features in 1.6 ROM:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) Optimized for scaled up 720 to 1080 for best look!<br \/>\n2) Hide status bar soft button with &#8220;easy&#8221; bring it back up by dragging mouse from bottom up!<br \/>\n3) Shut down soft button! USE THIS instead of unplugging and causing a BRICK of your ROM!<br \/>\n4) Fully rooted with the latest SU and SUperUser.apk<br \/>\n5) Debloated of china and other junk APPs you an get back from Google Play<br \/>\n6) FULL GOOGLE PLAY mods! Onlive and other Apps shouls show up now.<br \/>\nIf you want more compatabiliyt like Gameloft, you must edit build.prop. See Freaktab.com for that info.<br \/>\n7) Soft volume buttons on status bar.<br \/>\n8) Special add for this ROM. Full init.d support! If you do not know what that is&#8230; ignore it.<br \/>\nIf you do, you can now install and use boot time scripts like V6 SUper Charger!<br \/>\n9) All APPs are up to date! So you will not get any Google Play APPs needing updated.<br \/>\n10) Cleaned up the file system so it is not fragmented! Basicly I used linux tune2fs when making the images.<br \/>\n11) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).<br \/>\n12) The Xbox XPAD.KO module is now injected on boot. This was by request! Enjoy!<br \/>\n13) CIFS, TUN and MD4 KO modules were also added by request.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the ROM kit there is a read me!
