yeah that´s the one I was talking about. I will backup my device and install this rom in about 1 hour
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marcedli:
doesn't matter which you buy, the moment it arrives there are more and more better on the market.

At the moment there are quadcore processor ones too, and next week on the CES you'll see more of these...

However about imito mx1/2

the wifi and BT driver are not open source, so until Mediatek doesn't release source for these drivers, you'll not have many custom roms.

BUT

1. no need for it, stock rom is fast and snappy

2. if you not willing to use wifi or BT (internet can come through USB-LAN adapter from router), you can use any custom rom made for MK808 devices.

Here is a Google+ community where we discuss some tricks and tips, apps and games, feel free to join!

wish more people here would jump on this. i have the mx2 and its a decent little device. i am grabbing a usb wifi adapter today and going to push the new drivers to the device when i get home. the internal wifi chip is not all that great. i had a hell of a time figuring out that unless you are within 10-15 feet of the router, it just wont connect. but with a external usb adapter people have reported way better results. so on to that i go! i'll try to post back as i'd love to get a real community of users here at xda instead of reading at the infested websites of armtvtech and freaktab. i feel like my pc got malware visiting those websites lol

I have Deal Extreme SKU 165489. (Jesurun NX003)

Sure looks the same as iMito MX1 (SKU 166114), (Of course I paid $5 more :rolleyes:)

Does anybody know if it is really the same? -- e.g. Can I use the same firmwares?

Also, a couple of notes, in case it helps anyone:

I also have the Measy RC11 Air Mouse - Works fine, have never had to reset accelerometer.

ADB runs as root out of the box, so there is no need to root for most changes (such as editing build.prop)

Speaking of build.prop --- When I changed my ro.lcd.density from 160 to 140 (to try to get a more "PC" like experience), it worked, but I lost Movies&TV on Google Play, and several Apps I tried to install reported incompatible (Adobe Reader, for one). I set it back, and both worked again.

Un-powered Mini travel USB hub works fine.

2nd Serial port works as OTG, with the included adapter, so that you end up with 2 full size USB ports.

GE branded generic webcam worked fine as a USB microphone, but when I hit Search with Camera in Google Search/Google Now, it crashes Google Search. I have not installed a camera app to test more.

A RadioShack/GigaWare USB mic/audio device works fine, both as a Mic, and a Audio output device.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marcedli:
In fact it IS a 1.6 GHz processor. It's downclocked to 1.2 because of temperature and stability.

However in benchmarks the same hrdware gets more points for CPU performance in the downlclocked MX1 than in the MK808...

A better optimized 1.2 is much more effective than a crappy 1,6.

I have an MX808 and I love the speed and emulator power... But absolutely no Bluetooth option at this point.

I have a few USBBT adapters ordered but I have tried 4 already.

I'm debating on biting the bullet and getting a new stick or waiting for something like the onya. Waiting would probably be best but I'm seeing the MX2.

Can any of these sticks use the Six axis pair tool? Can any one support multiple controllers?

The goal of this is to have a dedicated 2player system. Suggestions? How's the MX series?

Did you try a different 5v 2amp power supply and different USB cable? The cheap nasty ones that come with the MXs cause this. Mine has been rock solid so far. You can also open the case and leave the wireless antenna outside to improve it. Last option is to buy a USB wireless adaptor or rj45 adaptor.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] MrFunnyMan:
Unfortunately wireless adapters are not yet supported out of the box due to missing drivers in android. Some have gotten them to work with some coding and driver updates.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] LaDoyers:
Just as Fr0d0 posted, wifi can be easily fixed if the antenna is redirected out of the mx housing. Simply use a precision screwdriver and remove the screw located opposite end of the hdmi port and slide the case off. There is enough clearance to redirect the antenna out from the usb port, same side as the set screw. My signal increased two bars, 20 ft away from router, through three interior walls. Speeds jumped from 2mb to 65mb, night and day difference.

There's also an app that I use to set a sleep timer to shut off the device when I watch videos to fall asleep. It's called "Run, Auto" from the play store, root required. No complaints so far, bt & wifi working perfectly, running Finless ROM 1.5
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lexan76:
About improving. WIFI

I bought the cheap wifi extender. From geekbuying and its working quite well. Its not link the dlink hw i borrowed. From a neighbor but it has made it possible to use my wifi again.

Everything is setup right on your router to allow connection and you've entered the WiFi password? I've heard some people have found with a certain router that they needed to remove wpa or change from wep to get it working. WiFi is also power hungry and will test your supply quality... You'll have problems if you're not plugged into the supplied adaptor/ better quality 2amp adaptor/ better quality USB lead for power.

Well, I'm probably going to be keeping the MX1 since I like the fact that it has bluetooth. I'm probably going to be giving away the Neo G4.

I've tested both the Logitech Wave keyboard and a Logitech MX Laser Mouse (laptop version) as well as a Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard on these devices (except for the tablet keyboard on the Neo G4 since it doesn't have bluetooth). And they worked perfectly.

I will say this, the MX1 feels like better quality because of the aluminum, but the Neo G4 feels cooler. My ideal situation is to get the MX1 in a position where it easily plays 1080P (MKV Video) over my network that it can replace my AMD Zacate E350 setup with 4GB ram, 40GB SSD computer that's my HTPC in my bedroom.

I have an imito mx1 since some weeks ago and I am quite satisfied. Do you know if it is possible to use it with any linux distro and desktop?

Although android is surprisingly useful, our imito have enough resources for running a light distro with a light desktop environment. Something like this would be outstanding for a lot of homes and offices

Besides, I have tried to run Google docs and for some mysterious reason, font size is so diminutive that I cannot make use of it.

Yeah, I'm already impressed with these devices. As soon as I can get a movie or two to play with minimal stuttering or buffering, I'll be good to call it my permanent bedroom mini-pc. Right now, it's in the configuring/troubleshooting/testing phase.

Thanks to you for your help with pointing me to the debugging xbmc apks, I wouldn't have as positive of an outlook with them.

I'm a little shocked as most people are saying they get 8k+ with antutu tests with these, mine is only around 6800-6900. Seems like a pretty big jump. But we'll see, I plan on tweaking the Finless 1.5 rom and play around with app removal. Maybe some CPU governing.

Hi, lifeisfun

Thanks for your answer. I have started to examine the documentation and several doubts have raised:

1) http://ubuntu.g8.net/index.php/installation-guide they say that "Should work on imito MX1 - not tested, and we know internal wifi does not work". Do you know if is there any advance about this question? Does somebody know if BT works with pi****u and MX1?

2) I'm not sure if it is possible to launch pi****u using recovery mode from MicroSD card without touching MX1's ROM. Is there any stable dual-start?

I'm very impressed with what I'm readed. Although compare a core i3 with MX-1 sounds a little excessive for me, anyways it seems that MX1 specs are more than enough for running a lightweight desktop (maybe LXDE) with a modern browser and other productivity applications. Adding cost of a MX1 with power consumption, it looks like a splendid PC for a lot of homes and even offices.

Thanks in advance for your answers
