Custom ROM MARTY X8H-PLUS LOLLIPOP SPMC ROM

I created this ROM solely for smooth video playback in SPMC so please do not go asking for Live Wallpaper, AirPin etc...., it is stripped to the bare minimum for better performance. I have not tried it with Kodi as I prefer SMPC because it utilises the amcodec.

You will need to run the SuperSU app and reboot after install to access the SuperSU settings, it is pre-rooted but the app doesn't seem to realise it.

Details:
- Removed some Minix code from the boot.img that was causing video stutter with amcodec.
- Added some code to the boot.img for CPU performance.
- Force Landcape is now default on install, hopefully no posts about centered apps ;-)
- Added the original Minix Wallpaper that Minix couldn't be bothered to put into the Lollipop RC.

I have been using SPMC 17.6 to test this ROM and the results have been flawless (for me at least), this ROM comes with SPMC pre-installed, in SPMC Settings switch to Expert mode and apply the following under Player settings:

- Set Adjust display refresh rate to Always
- Set Enable HQ scalers for scaling above to 100%
- Select Allow hardware acceleration - amcodec
- Deselect both MediaCodecs
- Set MPEG2, MPEG4, h264 and hevc to Always

Lastly, I am using this ROM direct X8H-Plus to TV via HDMI so please do not post asking about HD audio etc....I don't have the answers.

So without further ado, get flashing and enjoy............And as always, do so at your own risk.

It does 1080p in youtube without shuttering?

You will have stutter with 1080p vp9 encoded files, this is a limitation of the X8H-Plus unfortunately so nothing can be done about it, the rest of 1080p encoded files play smoothly.
 
Right...
So when I've test it I've searched on youtube vanced app for 4k videos, choosed costa rica 4k, started playing but maxim set was 720p...?
 
i've just installed your rom, works quite nice, I can't find the smart youtube tv... I don't use google play... just apkpure.com
can you point me to the name or something similiar with the product just to find it more easily ?
thanks
 
Hi Marty, Does your rom require the separate installation of the "remote.config file", or does the std remote work correctly after flashing the rom?
Thanks in advance, Chris.

The remote.config is stock so there should be no problems
 
Keen to try this. Can someone who has tried both advise how does this compare to Finless ROM?Does this have any wi-fi issue after waking from sleep? On Finless ROM wifi is off when it wakes from sleep and turns back on and reconnects but it’s painfully slow. Even when if I turn change the option not to turn wifi off during sleep it seems to still turn off.
 
Nope it’s the stock recovery but TWRP is easily flashed if you follow the guide:

Thanks for your quick reply! I tried this a few days ago but got an error, its because my stock firmware is not rooted?

So if i install your custom ROM and then try to flash TWRP it should work? I want to get “Sony apps enabler” for PS Remote play in the end..

You think im able to get this working on the minix 8-h plus?
