Use Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.7 to flash the firmware, use Restore button.

Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have an iFive X2 to test it.

Thanks! I'll be trying this shortly. Any chance you could add ad-hoc support? I'd love to be able to tether to my Nokia N9.

All ghost image problems are GONE! This is a really good rom after trying it for 3-4 hours. So far no problems.

Thanks for all your help.

I found this optimization script, used to be very good!
The 97loopy_tweak, 99Mr_Tweak, 95Mr_ZRAM into system etc init.d
Set permissions to 755 or 777 and then reboot！

By the way, this script can be used on most rockchip devices.

good luck!

Installed it yesterday. Haven't installed any previous Kitkat roms, so don't know if it fixes the glitches, but I did not see any glitches yet.

Works very fluent, Antutu score around 19800. Happy with this rom!

I wonder too whether HDMI output to "big screen television" (video and audio) works in this ROM (Netflix and other video player apps). If it does then Kitkat here I come.

"Spirit said: I got artifacts while browsing with chrome."

I guess Chrome web app seems to have some artifacts while scrolling (read reports from here and there about Kitkat and X2), but Chrome have had the same issue with other ROMs and other tablets also. Reports state that stock Android browser and several other browsers don't have the same issue in X2 Kitkat. Are there scroller artifacts with Chrome Beta browser too? It is newer and IMHO better version of Chrome browser even when it is still in beta state (available in Play store).
