Just updated to the latest firmware posted on this page.
It works well but i didnt get the newer market app...
The gui seems more smooth and the biggest change is that the SDCard gets finally mounted as nativ SD Card in /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard.
With this it is finally possible to move bigger apps on the card, which is quite nice
PS: btw the difference in size of the firmwares (latest and those before) are because angry birds is no longer included by default...
Hey guys. I apreciate for this topic. I bought one of these. And I have a question. Can I use this with my 1 TB external hdd? I want to use it for torrent downloading. Thanks.
Any thoughts about my question?
I just had a bit free time and tried it
And it works great
i just downloaded the first free Torrent client that showed up in the market with good reviews (tTorrent). Connected my 1TB ntfs formated USB HDD.
Opened up the App, set the download directory to /HDD/HDD1 (USB HDD path) and downloaded a torrent file of a ubuntu iso and it opren right away with tTorrent and started downloading (with arround 300Kbps).
Downloaded the whole iso in a arround 40 minutes and then connected the HDD to my PC and the complete iso was on the drive.
So to answer your question. Its possible and works very well. The torrent client i used worked also perfectly in the background so i could use the Box for other stuff aswell.
I also made some pictures, sorry for the crappy quality, i only had my ipod lying arround.
1. Shows tTorrent running in the background with Status information
2. Shows the tTorrent Main Window while download ubuntu
3. Shows GhostCommander, navigated to /HDD/HDD1 , you can see the the ubuntu iso file on the left (bottom)
It gets even better with a PS3 Controller, Wiimote or iControlPad.
All those gamepads work with the unit without problems
But now a question.
I changed my LCD Density, the os and apps are now more useable, but i hate that there is so much space between the app icons. is it possible to change this? i would love to fit more apps on a screen.
How do you do this?
Sonic-NKT thank you for your quick answer! It is very clear! I have already a popcorn hour A200, so I can live with that. But do you know anything about this UPnP or DLNA thing? Can I use this unit for playing music? I have a PC with a lot of classical music , in ape/cue and flac/cue format. Can this unit "see" my pc and play these kind of files?
Sorry for all these questions...
I think that's up to the launcher app. You could try different launchers, that may have a tighter icon spacing.But now a question.

Has anyone seen/purchased this ANDROID 2.3 TV SET-TOP BOX HDMI 1080P (Bring Your TV Alive With Android PC !) GTVB2918 - Professional Chinese Wholesaler
Is this more powerfull that the flexiview FV-1?
^^
Google Oversetter
This boosts the RK2918 processor that seems to be faster and runs DDR3 ram.
Think I will give this a go.
Received my FV-1 3 days ago and love it. Fast and smooth. I am not happy with the "WII remote" tho. I am currently using it with a small 2,4ghz keyboard.
