Hi everyone,
Recently I've made an Apple TV 2 build based on the final stable version of Eden (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/source/...1.0.tar.gz).
I have also made some improvements for it. These tweaks are written mainly by Memphiz and some other developers. I just make their code into patch files. And you could find all these patches here. Thanks for their great work!
Here are the improvements:
1. Libass fix. No more stutter with ASS/SSA subtitles.
2. Keypress repeat. Long press on keys will repeat actions.
3. Up/Down button to adjust volume.
4. iOS 5 support.
I have tested my build working on both iOS 4.4.4 (5.0.1) and iOS 5.0.2 (5.1.1).

You could get it from my Google Code page

[Installation Guide]
My build is packaged in the same way as offical's. So you can just override the official build with 'dpkg -i' command.
If you are not sure about how to install XBMC, please read official wiki pages first.
Maybe the following scripts will be helpful for installation.
SSH into your ATV2 as root and use scripts here:
Upgrade from official build:
Or newly install: (Script from official wiki)
Enjoy!
