okay, guys, Finless bring us a new custom rom for iMito MX1/MX2 base on the android 4.2 stock rom we release some days ago.
Please notice, Now Netflix app don’t work on any android 4.2 tv sticks, so if you want netflix app, please don’t upgrade to Android 4.2 🙂 but on Android 4.1,it works great.
Here we go
Features and release notes for my 2.9 JB 4.2.2 ROM:
1) Rooted with an updated SU and Superuser.apk that works with 4.2.2
2) Debloated of a some bloat apps!
3) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is… ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
4) Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
Many of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
Special thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.
5) Phone carrier fix for Google Market unlock (more APPs show up).
For some reason this was not built in like other stock ROMs.
6) I unlocked hidden settings:
-> Accessibility
7) New “grid” style launcher available as a choice of launchers.
Some people still want the Alternate launcher that comes with many TV sticks for EZ TV use.
I took this from another 4.2.2 ROM. This of course comes with the RK settings as well.
If you want to remove this just use ES File explorer and delete these files from /system/app
LauncherNEW.apk
AllApp.apk
RKSettings.apk
RKBasicsettings.apk
Now just reboot and all this will be gone.
8) I fixed the stock JB launcher icon placement.
The icons were not in the dock but just above it which was ugly!
9) All Google APPs updated except Google Search
10) Busybox that I like best Wraitdu 1.19.4
11) Changed build.prop so USB connaction to PC is a Mass Storage device and not a MTP device.
This ROM has no settings to change that at all (I will fix that later). I prefer a Mass Storage device myself.
You can easily change it back in build.prop. I commented out the MTP line.
12) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say “not compatible”.
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
YOur device will now NOT show up as a MK808 device to Google Play! Understand this please.
I also left the original buiild.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot!
13) RK Remote control does not work in this ROM! It crashes!
I will work on fixing this later. It’s a very common issue with 4.2.2.
However the MK808 4.2.2 ROM works so I will try to fix this issue in a future release.
14) Petrus reboot APP is added
15) 1080P patched kernel baby! I patched the stock kernel to 1080P.
There are 2 kernels and 2 boots in the ROM kit. By default kernel720 and boot720 are selected in the flash tool.
If you want to use a 1080 kernel then read the instructions below.

AS ALWAYS! See the README in the ROM download for full details and instructions!

ROM -> Imito JB 4.2.2 – Finless 2.0 ROM (250 megs)
Hi, I am planning to give this version a try.
One question though; Do I need to reinstall all my apps one by one from the Play Store or is there a way to backup and restore?
Regards, Ron
The 1080p version lags on my MX2. I wanna know if it’s only me.
Found it BTW. Used Backup from the google playstore.
Hi all. My OTG port is broken, i tried with the standard usb port but the pc not recognize the stick, there is another way of upgrade rom?
I’d like to ask if recovery.img here is a stock one or CWM?
Hi, you can’t flash this rom via CWM, this is not for CWM.
Eric! You misunderstood me. I was asking exclisively about recovery.img file being a stock one or had been replaced by Finless with a CWM one. And pal, I know CWM zip files as myself :-))))
Anyway, does anybody know where to pick up a CWM Recovery.img file for X1@Android 4.2.2
Oh, one note more. Finless! WiFi isn’t working on this firmware, but it does perfectly well on the stock 4.2.2.
I second that remark from Eugene. Wifi not working here too! Please fix! Thanks.
Please make sure if you get the original imito mx1.
I will give this a try hopefully everything will be fine. will see ?
thank you in advance.
Well i just finish installing the rom and everything seems to be working ok, by the i Thank you very much for all your effort to get this rom running, love you man. I will be in touch.
Imito MX2.
I have tried using XBMC on this stick and I am having problems with connecting to my synology NAS. I have samba (windows share) enabled on it and I can connect with every other device, including appletv 1 running crystalbuntu. This is a bummer for me, because I bought the stick to run xbmc, but without connection to my NAS, XBMC is useless. Would anyone has a suggestion how to solve this issue?
I have a iMito MX1. This ROM often lock ups on boot. I got it to boot once and it seemed OK. After a reboot it locks up on the loading screen.
I would stay with the factory ROM.
Do this ROM works in a ug007?
