Plugged in and on,
Small green LED in the front and Its not to bright.
Remix Logo or F2 to enter recovery
Get greeted with language selection,
Set up WIFI 2.4 GHZ only then check for Update. (system has the Latest version)
The Remix Mini features a capacitive touch power button unlike any PC of its kind. Rather than awkwardly feeling around the back panel for that elusive power button, just gently tap the top of your Mini.
Within seconds you'll be able to start doing what you need to do.
Apply a bit of pressure to the Top of the box or one Tap, Unit goes to Standby mode....Nifty tap again to wake up.
Plugged in K400r Logitech, looking good.
Screen Capture has a resizable/Snap square to capture all/or any of the screen.
This Is going to fun, and it is after a few days
This is a fun box if such a thing can exist, very much like running a MS$ Windows, all similar features with desktop
Installed Apps appear as a shortcut on the desktop.
Right click copy and paste, Close or minimise Apps with corner icons,
Software detected and running in 64 bit mode. Antutu bench test score 2100 64 and 32 bit
WIFI speed Good, as ether,
Did the usual install a heap of apps at once from Play all apps in no lag.
Using apps require one click as we know and using Remix is more Double Click I have found, may be a setting somewhere.
1920 x 1080 test
1280 x 720 test
Circle is the show desktop button.
Flyout window on the right click 3 horizontal lines Lower R/H.
Customise Icons on Lower Task bar as well as Hide lower task bar.
10th November Netflix is now Working.
Plex In and running looking good.
In the Left Corner of the screen there is a back Button for Remix this appears to interfere with apps that have a back button in the same location
Plex and Antutu Video tester so far I have come across.
Changing Resolution 1280 x 720 to 1920 x 1080 requires a restart how
windows 95 is that.
Some minor issues with running certain apps don't like being in a window environment but all will be sorted by the people at JIDE
This O/S could be a big game changer.

Absolutely true, I tested this feature yesterday and now the REMIX works like a charm.
now Premium Play (italian app) don't works and Plex stops film's view after 20 seconds and returns to home
Edit. Since the WiFi antenna is covered could it be possible to use a more powerful own WiFi antenna modifying the software?

If you are handy with a soldering iron, and working with the connection as seen on the PCB you could attach an external Antenna that may improve performance or check channel allocation maybe find a clearer/less used channel.

Currently use wifi at home.
Haven't tried the ethernet yet, but wifi was working fine.
It did have its hiccups at the beginning and once I updated to the latest release it was coming together. I did notice on Twitch that once you clicked on the pop out window it would get stuck on the right corner of my screen, without being able to close out or anything. I would have to quit Twitch and get into it again.. other than that everything was good!

So far my Mini is updated to latest release. Looking forward to seeing more updates in the near future! Keep up the great work
P.S. Can you add the ability to tether with a phone? I tried and it has no success. Thank you

Hello,
I thought it was time to start a thread about Lapdock that is not about were to get the best price. But for technical questions like mine.
For some reason I can't get any picture when watching any video, just sound? Any ideas?

I am not sure if Webtop uses the "original" Flash, but have you tried updating your flash to 10.3? Or re-installing it?
Also, sometimes the webtop messes up a bit (all icons on the right were gone for me today), but a reboot should fix that - maybe it's even enough to kill the webtop processes, whatever they are.
Lapdock Hack
If someone could hack the lapdock to provide a good remote desktop item for it it would be great. I tried the Citrix demo last night and if we could get the same thing to come into my Windows machine it would be great.
Anyone has any ideas?
I have tried Pocket Cloud running on the phone but although it is functional it is not that good.

Teamviewer web "works" but it's a little laggy. At least on my hacked to work on normal displays webtop.
I tried need for speed in the lapdock and was unplayable cause the lag, is this right?
Btw i tried dungeon defender hd too and couldnt move the hero with the arrows keys, theres a way to play without use the touchpad in the screen? i think its unplayable that way since u cant touch the lapdock screen to move the hero.
I'm looking into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093790
It seam to be a bit complicated but great id it works.

I have the CHROOT Debian hack (search for it under development). I am also running Gnome and it includes Remmina Remote Desktop Client. I have used that to connect to my Windows Servers at work. Here is a screen shot of my desktop:
I have been toying with the idea of getting the lapdock. However after playing with it at the store several times I was disappointed with the laggy performance. Do the webtop hacks/mods help performance? How is debian on the lapdock? Linux does not need vista type system requiremens... is it worth while?
Very cool debian screenshot btw. Has me pretty excited.

The Debian environment is running along with the Motobuntu. The Debian apps seem to have better performance than the Moto apps (may just be my imagination). However, the entire experience is on par with a netbook. Of course it has greater features (i.e. the phone, gps, etc.).
For me, it is definitely worthwhile.
Have not noticed any lag, and I'm getting rid of my HP laptop and all I'm using is my Atrix phone and it's Lapdock, and I never have to search for a hotspot again to connect.
Cheers
Have you got instructions on how to do that?
Thanks

Just do the full debian hack from the thread under the development forum. Be sure to use the 4GB image.
After you get the image working, apt-get install synaptic. Then just install Gnome.
Once you have Gnome installed, run gnome-session from the linux terminal (penguin icon). You will have to removed the bottom panel and align the top panel to the left side. Of course, this step is optional but I prefer the panels not overlapping each other.
Thanks, I will try it I have come over from Hacked and unlocked iPhone and am new to this system, but it looks better.
Also if anyone is interested I have a spare Lapdock to sell. PM me.

Only if the ROM is based on an AT&T official release (4.5.91 for example) OR developed to accommodate it. CM7 B2TF release just added dock audio to its featureset, so I'm sure it is possible, just a work in progress in some cases.
Guys, what can I do to watch .mp4 videos on the phone on the laptop dock?
I'm going on a plane ride for 10 hours tomorrow and would love to watch my movies on that instead of the ipad...
Nice topic, I just recently started toying around with this stuff. I currently am using webtop2sd, I successfully installed Gnome,Gimp...etc. But I am a complete noob when it comes to Linux.
What do you guys think is better, the debian hack or webtop2sd? I know with webtop2sd, you don't need that 4 gig image taking up space. I'm not opposed to that, just for now my 32gig card bit the dust...so I'm stuck with an 8gig for now.
What size cards are you guys using, and how much space are you allocating for webtop?
Also, What rom are you using, and what webtop version. I used sam cripp's stock webtop fruitcake because all the others were giving me problems with the webtop statusbar icons.
Thanks!!

This is a game from madfinger, same people who did samurai II vengeance.
Of course its for Crap2(tegra) devices, so what the hell, lets see if it works with Chainfire3D
And so far its working. Game looks freaking amazing. This is really console like graphics.
No I do not work for madfinger just saying people should check it out. its 4.99 on market however.
Link to android central.
You must have chainfire installed for it to work. Obviously.

Thanks for the heads up! Downloading now... I have been playing Galaxy on Fire 2 using Chainfire and its an amazing game. Its free for a bit then $9.99USD to unlock the full game.
Anyone managed to play it with PS3's DualShock? Sixaxis works fine now even on stock, but the only game that played nice was Riptide GP (+ HDMI out = <33333 ).
I can't seem to configure the buttons, although part of the input works (movement is ok, but free look/aiming is not).
Anyone having similar issues as me? I'm running the game via ChainFire3D Pro and loading the nVidea Plugin which starts the game fine.
I'm gotten to the part where you go up some elevator and S.A.R.A tells you about their being some sort of device that you'll need to take out in order to stop your signal from being jammed.
After the elevator gets to the top, you take out a few men in a room, some of those mechanical spider things that run from under the stairs and there's also another soldier on top of those stairs. A mechanical sentry gun also comes out of the ground.
When you walk over to the controls by the big set of doors, you activate them to bring up a loading screen to the next level where the game crashes with an error message that disappears far too quickly to read.
Screenshot below of the section I'm on about, the controls over the opposite side of the room make the level change where the game crashes upon loading.

Yes have EXACTLY the same - 1st level complete & tap to continue, then repeated crashes. The message is the generic 'stopped responding tap to exit' type.
Worked flawlessly throughout the first level, then this.
Any ideas anyone?. Amazed how well the controls work so a bit annoying...

Free look is controlled by the screen as opposed to a stick direction so can it be mapped?
The level with the lobster robot boss, loaded odd, graphics missing, restarted game and all was well again, screen shot shows I'm on level 3 or 4 I think it is, have you got the latest chain fire installed, I'm using the pro version, stock 2.3.5 rom with speed mod kernel

Yup same as that, just redownloaded Chainfire so pretty sure it's latest, and have the Pro version. Also 2.35 stock but with Siyah kernal, maybe I'll try speedmod...

Not thinking "ground breaking" or anything, but very nice stuff none the less.
I had an Atrix 4G with the Lapdock accessory (+webtop mod) before the GNEX, so using my android phone as my computer is something i'm familiar with, even though it was in a different way.
I also have the Rii mini bluetooth keyboard and tried once with the Nexus connected to my TV. Just that one time because I received the MHL adapter very recently.

Any other Nexus owners here using their phone as a desktop PC/HTPC/entertainment center?
Any recommended full sized bluetooth keyboard+touchpad?

I just use a Bluetooth mouse and a cheap bt thumb keyboard off eBay with a good layout for direction keys. I don't have an MHL adapter yet but it should work. I think your issue is your keyboard\mouse combo may be too complicated without some software.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - CM9 AOKP
Asus Transformer - Revolver
Something else I've tried is installing ubuntu in a chroot, accessing it through VNC, and using bluetooth mouse+keyboard with MHL output. Results are shaky at best. VNC is the bottleneck - none of the VNC clients I've tried really work perfectly.
Some typical issues:
- Double-clicking doesn't work
- Keys are not always mapped properly. Escape, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, for example.
- Audio doesn't work at all.
- Because it's through VNC, graphics are not hardware accelerated.
The efficiency of using a full linux install with a keyboard is lost when the keyboard doesn't function as expected.
Looks promising. I would like to see desktop programs like spreadsheets, real time financial apps, or maybe sending something to the printer.
I did. No add ons. Everything was from the GN and the MHL adapter with the back cover off.

I'm using my SGN as a terminal to access my citrix desktop at work. I used to carry around a netbook for this but now, with my SGN resolution and with the help of a bluetooth keyboard the need for my netbook is gone .

I dont plan on using mine as a desktop computer but for my galaxy tab 10.1 I have this bluetooth keyboard from logitech that sync'd perfectly and works well with the nexus also.
It is, I would say, about the size of a laptop keyboard so you can get a good rhythm going once you get comfortable with the keys and the size of the keyboard.
As for mouse, I have no idea. I have this cheap one from that is bluetooth form logitech also but I dont like using it. But in a pinch its better than nothing.
Where did you purchase the serioux keyboard?
I bought the serious from a local store (I found it by chance .. I was not looking for it on purpose). I see that lots of online stores here in Romania have this keyboard in stock ....
If you want to make an idea about the size, compared with a full sized keyboard....
// sent from my green robot //
I have a google t.v. Keyboard Which I thought would work but its not discoverable by default so I will have to buy a bt keyboard and mouse. MHL is nice though its great that this can be done.
I have been using this setup off an on for a few weeks now. I actually had an Apple keyboard and mouse sitting around the house and they paired with the device perfectly.
I also did the Ubuntu install and you are absolutely right... VNC is the bottle neck and it makes everything unusable.
While its fun to toy around with, it is still too clunky of a setup for me to make it my permanent laptop replacement. If I could get the output on the monitor to be a tablet layout instead of a close up of the phone screen, it may be a different story.
My GN has basically become my multimedia hub/ desktop. I used the Samsung mhl adapter to avoid some problems I heard about with other adapters. I use the Logitech bt Android 3.0+ keyboard mouse combo. Got these on Amazon.
On my TV I use Gmail, Calendar, GDocs, Netflix, Music, Weather, Market Movies, etc... I love it.
And even use Google Video Chat off the back camera using the keyboard case stand!

How do you think about this device? I will have a review for this model soon.
Let's talk the review, firmware, root, and other questions in this tread.
Im looking to buy one in the next week or so. I really excited about this device. I look forward to your review! Would this device also run the basic launcher as well as the android kitkat launcher? Thanks

Not quite just the wifi. Also hardware HEVC encoding, a speedier processor, gigabit ethernet...
I would love to take one of these devices for a test-drive! It looks really good, particularly with the added H.265 decoding and wireless AC

Been using it for a week, it runs like a standard Android box. I installed Nova Launcher on it and it worked fine.

Its running on 4.4.2
Great video. Thanks so much. Quick question, have you installed plex? Does plex run smoothly? Thanks
root ????
hello is possible root for this model so I have a few days ago and I have not been able to do .thanks and greetings
Streaming TV apps
just few days ago got this device....
No Live Streaming TV app is running on it...tried multiple one (tv tunnel) screen become flicker and doted picture will be on screen.
no idea why it is happening ....
Greetings gentlemen. I'll be buying one of these for myself in the coming days (just waiting for my paycheck), hoping to have it relieve my Raspberry Pi from its current job.
However, my Pi is currently set with Deluge and Flexget so it autodownloads to the respective folders. Could any of you check if installing them is possible on the X-8 Plus? We have some instructions here on how to do it, and when I buy it I will make an attempt anyways, but knowing it in advance would be useful.
What the hell? EVERY other box does at least 1080p...
"**The NEO X8-H Plus only supports standard definition Netflix. Netflix 1080p HD and 4K UHD resolution are not available on any MINIX NEO Series devices."
Thats a BIG bummer
Anyway to root this device and install optware on it ?

You can root the MINIX Neo X8H-Plus using the iRoot application (or it's Chinese language parent, vRoot)
http://www.mgyun.com/m/en
Steps:
1. Turn on Developer mode by clicking on the BUILD entry in the ABOUT section in SETTINGS (click it at least 7 times)
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Install iRoot/vRoot on your PC
4. Connect the Neo X8H-Plus using the OTG cable (microUSB to USB cable included in box) to PC.
(Neo X8H-Plus needs to be connected to a display when doing this; also, a mouse would also be helpful)
5. After PC detects Neo X8H-Plus, run the iRoot/vRoot application and click on the CONNECT DEVICE button.
6. When iRoot/vRoot attempts to connect to your Neo X8H-Plus, a security warning will appear on the display. PERMIT access to the application in order for the iRoot/vRoot application to successfully connect to the Neo X8H-Plus
7. Once iRoot/vRoot is connected to your device, click the ROOT button
8. Wait until process is complete
Cheers!

After much tinkering, I was successful in my endeavours. I mostly followed this guide and am now the satisfied owner of a SSH'd with SFTP, Transmission'd and Samba'd X-8Plus.

I can attest to it, it was the method I used to root mine. It does install a couple of chinese apps while doing so, but nothing you can't remove after having it rooted.
Today we have a look at the new Beelink GT1 Amlogic s912 2/16gb
A small and compact unit looks kinda groovy, performance so far looking good.
Just arrived a few hours ago so a bit of a Work in Progress with this review.

More testing in that area soon as with many other test,
More to come
Does this device come rooted ?

There is no root for GT1.
I wonder if the Geekbench 4 scores would differ from those posted here.
Also, it would be interesting to see how the S912 runs LibreELEC. Hopefully one will surface soon.

Hope he will support the A912 owners as well!
He just said he does not have it yet. I am pretty lucky to have one with 9377 WiFi/BT chip.
Sorry for the double post, I tested the custom ROM yesterday. Netflix works out of the box, without the need to modify anything. Everything else is pretty much the same. It does have some apps preinstalled that I do not want. I went back to the official one, especially since the guy in charge for the ROM does not have the device anymore and did not develop a version for the box with the other WiFi chipset.

I found the ROM quite a bit better then the 106 firmware.
-seemed a bit smoother (although this is highly subjective)
-kodi dark screen issue is gone
-I like the reboot app he added
-youtube works perfectly as is up to 1080p
most importantly, it looks like he might be continuing development, some of the members at freaktab are working to get him some donations so he can buy another GT1, hes very close to having the enough to buy another GT1.
I never had any black or green screen, none of those issues that some other people complained about with official firmware. I gave it away, since I got the Q10 Pro at a very good price. I will continue to monitor it because I gave it to a colleague and I want him to have the best experience he can get on the GT1.
You could get a GT1 for Free
Bit of a thing over at Freaktab
Leave a comment as per the instructions and you could win one.
Ends on the 30th of November
Gotta be in it to win it :good:

Bugs SCV9-ATV:
On 1º boot when you setup in english language the on screen keyboard may not show when you going to put you wifi password, to fix it go back and change to another language go to the wifi password click it to show the on screen keyboard when it shows go back to the language selection screen and choose english again and it should be ok now on the wifi password. YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE!
Only update "su" if you are going to to stay at root if are not going to stay at root and you are going to be doing a lot of changes between the two dont update it! Or you will get a boot animation loop...
Ugoos Firefly after you enable it and reboot still says its off but its not true, its on!
Google cast dont work(missing Widevine L1), use ugoos Firefly for casting videos and pics of your phone to the tvbox.
