Here is a rooted custom firmware for the FNF iFive MX 3G tablet based on official version 1.20 (ifive_MX_3G_411_sdk2.0_V1.2.0.zip)

Build information:

Linux Kernel: Linux version 3.0.8+ (root@five-server) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #206 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 26 10:44:17 CST 2013

Android build: ifive/rk30sdk/rk30sdk:4.1.1/JRO03H/ifive.20130227.140424:eng/ifive-keys

Custom firmware features:

root with latest SuperSU 1.25 (free version)
removed most Chinese and unnecessary applications
increased space for application (/data partition) to 2 Gb
Google Play Store fixes so more applications are visible/compatible
updated busybox v1.21.0.git (2012-11-29)
Unix like init.d boot scripts support, more details on init.d scripts here
Android 4.2 AOSP stock launcher from here, thanks mad86

Download: kasty-fnf_ifive_mx_3g-411-120-rooted2.zip

Use Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.5 to flash the firmware, don't flash using the "sdcard" method.

Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have an iFive MX 3G to test it.

I've removed most iFive applications, I have just left FiveVideoPlayer.apk as it may be required.

iFive launcher has been removed as well, actually, it's possible there's no launcher at all, which could be a problem Confused I'll need to know... so we could decide if we put back iFive launcher, a stock Android launcher or a replacement.

Cheers.

Just a question admin do you want anothers users of ifive tablets to create customs roms for the others ifive tablets like Tinm wich as an MX only wifi. I can redirect anothers members with ifive mini or ifive 2 for example

Flash is OK starting tablet OK just an issue for launcher but works with 4.2 launcher is OK.

I am not sure to understand, does the firmware function right after flash or does it need any manipulation to work properly ?

About firmwares for other iFive tablet models, I'll eventually do a custom firmwares if there is enough demand, making a firmware for just 2 people isn't really interesting for me, unless there is some donation/support...

Cheers.

I'll donate anyhow as i was flabbergasted to see that you just did the customisation within a couple of hours, saving me the time to do the rooting, deinstalling manually.
