CX-919, the only quad core tv stick which has external wifi antenna now, just get the Finless custom rom, if you are looking for a strong wifi signal tv sticks, then don’t miss CX-919!!
All Credit to BOB Finless, thanks!!!
Firmware Download LINK is Here
Changelog:
1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2
2) I give you APP space size choices!
There are also 2gb, 4gb and 6gb parameter file options.
Read below for how to change that in the flash tool.
Realize if you use this 6gb option, internal SDcard will only have about 600 megs of free space!
2) 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!
3) I enabled location services. This is now in the settings menu. Tested and working with all APPs that use it. Remember to turn off GPS as we have no GPS.
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) I added Freaktab user Tincore’s Key Mapper APP version 2.3.6 (which is recent release)!
This is a cool APP for you gamers that need to map keys or sticks to “touch” only games or APPs.
This thing works better than any other APP for supporting games especially ones that need touch screen support!

6) 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 show up in google play as Samsung device not a CX-919 or RKSDK!
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! You should be back to showing up as a CX-919.
7) Alternate launcher! Do you hate the stock launcher? Well I give you a way to change it.
After boot up go get a root file explorer like ES File Explorer.
In ES turn on root explorer and REMEMBER to also set system as RW (read/write).
Go into /system/app and rename launcher3.aps to launcher3.apk
Rename launcher2.apk to launcher2.aps
Reboot! If you try to exit to the launcher you will get errors or a black screen so just reboot using the power button on the status bar.
Now you will boot into the stock Android Launcher instead of the modded launcher they provided.
You may also delete launcher2.apk if you like to remove it forever.
8) Updated boot sound! I hope you like it over the stock sound?
If you do not want any boot sound at all then this is easy to remove:
After boot up go get a root file explorer like ES File Explorer.
In ES turn on root explorer and REMEMBER to also set system as RW (read/write).
go into /system/media and just delete bootsound.mp3.
You can also add your own MP3 as a boot sound if you like.
9) Remote Control using RK Remote APP is now fully supported!
In the ROM kit is a RKRemoteControl.apk.
You install this on your phone or tablet and now it can remotely control your TV player!
Just put the APK on sdcard or something and install it on your Android phone, tablet, etc.
ENJOY this one! I had a HARD TIME getting it to work!
10) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).
11) It appears Xpad.ko is in the kernel already for Xbox controller support.
However since I do not have a xbox controller I cannot test or confirm this.
Please let me know if it works.
Screenshot after you made the update:
Can you cross-flash RK3188 devices? I have a Measy U4B device that I can’t use as it refuses to work with the Measy RC16 Bluetooth airMouse. The airMouse is found by search and pairs but then refuses to accept its input.
If you can cross flash, does Bluetooth work on this ROM?
HI, that is a measy u4b firmware problem, and you can’t flash CX-919 rom, because it will make your U4B lose the wifi. just wait , i will ask measy to fix that problem asap.
thanks

I bought CX-919 Android 4.1.1 OS RK3188 ARM Cortex A9 1.6 GHz Quad Core Mini PC TV Box 2G/8G BT WiFi HDMI, when connected first time it worked fine after that it always show R-BOD on TV screen nothing change after that. I tried restart etc..nothing changing, can some one help? My TV is 720P, does it need any firmware update? Please let me know what went wrong. If not to I would like to return..
When I connect to Laptop, it is not even showing the driver.
HI Siva: you should flash the firmware again to make it work,i think you brick the device. If you want your PC to find this CX-919, you should press the FN button and at the same time connect CX-919 with your PC via the Micro USB to USB Cable in the package. Good Luck!
Thx for reply, I am new to this, please let me know any youtube video I can refer to flash firmware. From where I can flash firmware.
Thanks
Siva
