It should but MyGica might try and prevent custom ROM attempts

oh right, that makes sense mate. i would have thought though, that the Droid boxes would be alot more open for development than say phones. on our side, in the phone world while Android is very much open source, its still controlled by the manufacturers.

i have probably written down as much as i can from this thread, as im going to enter the droid world fully in the new year. But i need as much info as possible, so i that i make the correct decision of what each thing does lol

I can flash via USB, SD card. The zip file will work.
 
1. 24 HZ display hack - (wish)
2. DTS HD Master audio crack libmedia (wish)
3. Full Rooted device with write permission for external SD (wish)
4. Device spoofed to Nexus if possible - unless its odex'ed (wish)
5. Debloated OS
6. XBMC with all the live TV add-ons

I know how to remove hardware checks for older Mygica devices, the M3 etc.
On the M8 i might have to do some digging.

My issue wasn't date/time - although the error message alluded to that. It was DNS.

Tried the DNS address provided by Yotch and all was cool.

Only issue I have is that when you go onto Wifi then you can't specify your DNS manually on the MX3. Has to be set on the router.

Oh, ok, weird, as I can set 2 dns addresses (primary and secondary) on my 2 boxes, M8 and Mx2 as listed on my signature below.
If you set you're wifi already, select the option to "forget network" then you select it again,then where it asks for password(don't put it in yet), there is a option to tick "advanced options" , then by default DHCP is selected. Deselect it and use "Static". Now you will be able to add two(2) Dns addresses, but via Ethernet, you can only select one(1) Dns address.

This is even possible via my Samsung Galaxy Note2;)
Hope it helps

Nice, thanks for the feedback.

1. That would slow the UI down i reckon.
2. I believe it does, IMHO S802B chips doesn't exist ... its down to vendor licensing.
3. Its just a rights issue - I can fix this as well or SuperSU it.
4. Cool - was thinking it might work but Netflix is DRM, DRM, DRM !!!
5. Great!
6. Awesome!

The Geniatech firmware is pretty good - i reckon just the XBMC portion would be cool.

Thanks for the support AVSupply :)
