All Credit to BOB Finless, thanks!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firmware Download LINK is Here<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Changelog:<\/p>\n

1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2<\/p>\n

2) I give you APP space size choices!
\nThere are also 2gb, 4gb and 6gb parameter file options.
\nRead below for how to change that in the flash tool.
\nRealize if you use this 6gb option, internal SDcard will only have about 600 megs of free space!<\/p>\n

2) 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!<\/p>\n

3) 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.<\/p>\n

4) Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
\nMany of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
\nSpecial thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.<\/p>\n

5) I added Freaktab user Tincore’s Key Mapper APP version 2.3.6 (which is recent release)!
\nThis is a cool APP for you gamers that need to map keys or sticks to “touch” only games or APPs.
\nThis thing works better than any other APP for supporting games especially ones that need touch screen support!
\nLearn more about it here:
\nhttps:\/\/plus.google.com\/104070628452082829435\/posts<\/a><\/p>\n

6) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say “not compatible”.
\nI am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
\nYour device will show up in google play as Samsung device not a CX-919 or RKSDK!
\nUnderstand this please.
\nI also left the original buiild.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
\nIf you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
\nThen rename build.orig to build.prop.
\nGo into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
\nReboot! You should be back to showing up as a CX-919.<\/p>\n

7) Alternate launcher! Do you hate the stock launcher? Well I give you a way to change it.
\nAfter boot up go get a root file explorer like ES File Explorer.
\nIn ES turn on root explorer and REMEMBER to also set system as RW (read\/write).
\nGo into \/system\/app and rename launcher3.aps to launcher3.apk
\nRename launcher2.apk to launcher2.aps
\nReboot! If you try to exit to the launcher you will get errors or a black screen so just reboot using the power button on the status bar.
\nNow you will boot into the stock Android Launcher instead of the modded launcher they provided.
\nYou may also delete launcher2.apk if you like to remove it forever.<\/p>\n

8) Updated boot sound! I hope you like it over the stock sound?
\nIf you do not want any boot sound at all then this is easy to remove:
\nAfter boot up go get a root file explorer like ES File Explorer.
\nIn ES turn on root explorer and REMEMBER to also set system as RW (read\/write).
\ngo into \/system\/media and just delete bootsound.mp3.
\nYou can also add your own MP3 as a boot sound if you like.<\/p>\n

9) Remote Control using RK Remote APP is now fully supported!
\nIn the ROM kit is a RKRemoteControl.apk.
\nYou install this on your phone or tablet and now it can remotely control your TV player!
\nJust put the APK on sdcard or something and install it on your Android phone, tablet, etc.
\nENJOY this one! I had a HARD TIME getting it to work!<\/p>\n

10) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).<\/p>\n

11) It appears Xpad.ko is in the kernel already for Xbox controller support.
\nHowever since I do not have a xbox controller I cannot test or confirm this.
\nPlease let me know if it works.<\/p>\n
