[SOLVED] OpenElec or any other build to boot straight into XBMC from an Amlogic M8? - AveryRe - 2014-09-11
So I've purchased an Amlogic M8: http://www.amazon.com/M8-Bluetooth-Streaming-Tronsmart-Ethernet/dp/B00JDCO22I and I was wondering if there was any way to boot directly into XBMC (any firmware or anything like that) instead of the Android environment.
I have been told to boot into android and use an app to auto-launch XBMC on boot, but this takes forever while looking and feeling extremely messy. I would prefer the android system was not present at all.
Thanks for all the help!
