[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
This is a port of OpenELEC for devices based on Amlogic chips. Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center (OpenELEC) is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn your device into an XBMC media center.

Currently only Generic Droid-TV MX (G18REF) and Gbox Midnight MX2 (MX2REF) devices are supported, which are based on AML-8726MX SOCs.

Note that official OpenELEC team does NOT officialy support these builds, and is NOT involved in any way, so DO NOT POST bugs and DO NOT ASK for help on official OpenELEC site at http://openelec.tv.

If you need help, please ask you questions in this topic, or file a bug at https://github.com/codesnake/OpenELEC.tv/issues.
