There might be couple of reasons. My firmware uses 512 Mb system partition, so if you don't have at least 1 Gb of internal memory it wont work. Next thing, try with original Visson firmware first (02-25 or 04-23). You will probably have to install firmware twice (read my faq), because of different bootloaders.

ok, now i have managed it. Your Rom is really fast and my webcam works (at least I can see the picture, but I cant save photos)!

Hello stane1983,
How can I repeat problem with cursor?

IR Remote control does not work. Previously (with other firmwares), we have replaced the file remote.conf to connect our RC.
My IR remote parameters:
factory_code = 0xfe010001
reg_control = 0xfbe40
 
delysid was right about the button. i was able to get into recovey and the rc worked for me to wipe data and cache. i couldnt reinstall your rom since it couldnt mount sdcard. when i rebooted the colors were all messed up... so i noticed that the little cord you see on the pic, left side, broke. Im gonna fix that and try it out... gimme a couple of min.

Try install once again :)
If you have GB installed - you need to install twice ICS (first time I think it change kernel and bootloader...)

About cursor.... I don't know, see other posts on the forum... People do have problems with cursor, it's being replaced with boot logo picture from aml_logo partition... I cannot reproduce that behavior no matter what I do....

About IR, i'll figure something out. As far as I know now, remote.conf is built into kernel image with my firmware. Will try to force reading remote.conf from system partition. That should solve the problems...

Yeah, camera feature needs some fixing, I don't have picture and can't take pictures, but camera works with skype, so basically it works, just needs some fixing :)

On Croatian: Nema na cemu, cilj je napraviti fw koji ce biti stabilan, sa svim featurima, prilagodjen regiji... dakle, rad ce se nastaviti :)

True that... also, when i fixed the loose cord... i didnt do a very good job... and the consequence is that my wifi signal is 50% then before... LOL... but thats ok, since the box is always near my router.
Im gonna test droidtv now... does it work with DVB only or with isdb-t too?
 
i installed chainfire 3d just now, went into the program and installed the driver too. rebooted and it works great. no cursor replacement. we will see.
 
Netflix is now working worse than it ever has before. no video no audio, timer runs skipping 20 seconds at a time. hey stane1983, do you think that the supercharger script we were looking at before could help? is there a way to integrate it into the rom rather than having to run after install, cos everytime i try to consolidate the service.jar and service.odex into a single file, things get all messed up.
 
I was able to brick the device again... it gave me cursor replacement and black screen after i installed ADAWAY and BUSYBOX. can you guys try to reproduce that? i think that i cannot update busybox.

CONFIRMED. CANNOT INSTALL BUSYBOX UPDATE.

Going to do exact the same now...

Update:
Cursor replacement and black screen. One question: Why to replace busybox? Standard busybox is obviously not compatible with Amlogic sources. I do have busybox sources in my sourcetree. Script set_display_mode uses busybox to write display params... that could be the problem.

Anyway, why update of busybox?
 
also, cannot install busybox installer from android play store. busybox installer was getting installed with something else i had put on this thing. will investigate.

Sd card also doesnt mount properly unless inserted at bootup.

UPDATE: i was trying to use updated busybox for supercharger script. but i will stop trying that...at least not updating busybox.

Im already glad that we were able to make u reproduce the cursor problem:D. I usually install the busybox installer from market and update it every time i fresh install a rom, no matter what device is. I will not do it again, but im glad i found out this quite soon, before installing more stuff.

Let me be straight on that.... Superuser is added to firmware by default becaue I like to have it, I can replace system files without reinstalling rom etc. I think it is usefull.

But installing something what compromises system stability etc is not smart and for sure not a good idea if you don't know what exactly installed app will do. About chainfire 3d also, I didn't know what it is, but read it on the market. Using something that is actually graphics driver wrapper on platform for which very few developers have sources is just bad idea.

I don't know guys what you are doing, but if you have problems with my rom I will try to fix it (such as netflix for which I don't have access, so basically all I do is in the dark, I have to release fw to get some feedback about it. To be able to even use netflix and debug it I would need to pay don't know how much for decent VPN account on some US server which will give me US ip address + netflix account).

I fixed ac3/dts, eac3 or dd+ is hardware limitation of built-in amlogic audio decoder as far as I know. Eac3 works fine on M3 platform.

If you have problems with my fw, don't use it or report it (fully - what is installed on device, how that happened...). If error is occurred because of using apps which changes/replaces or whatever system files, that bug reports I will just ignore.

And yes, on older fw, you did not have black screen when replacing busybox because on older fw set_display_mode.sh and reset_display_mode.sh scripts are not using busybox to read/set ubootenv variables.
