Mali-400 doesn't do VPU. If I understand correctly, eventually efforts will be underway for OpenMax support that should cover a great deal of VPUs in various Android devices. All in good time.

Hello guys!
I've just finished to compile the latest git version and i wanted to share with you two little things about compile it with jdk 1.7 instead of 1.6.
The first one is that the default signing algorithm has changed, so you should specify the parameters -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 in the jarsigner command
The second is that the packager doesn't work with the classes built with this jdk. The error that came up is the following:
bad class file magic (cafebabe) or version (0033.0000)
we have to cross compile to an older version of jvm so we have to pass the source and target options to javac in order to get this working.
Thanks for your work!

I wonder if it is possible xbmc starts itself when my Android box is switched on, so I don't need to be kept asking to get into xbmc by the others, they can just switch on the box and match videos themselves without bothering me. They are just too lazy to dealing with the android interface !

Thanks Starstream, but I think xbmc suppose to be self contained. It should not relay on other app to bootstrap itself. just like how it boot up on any other platforms, only underneath system service is needed, isn't it?

XBMC is self contained... as an app. if you want XBMC to startup when the box boots, then use some android startup manager to do that.
XBMC does not own the box, android does. XBMC is an app, just like under desktop.

Not quite what I meant I meant the app can identify itself as a dashboard app to android so on a device that has a Home button android will ask you if you want to use it as the default Home launcher or "Just once"
And as for how to change android settings well on android these days settings are just another app link so if you can run apps from xbmc you can change settings
But yes I agree best not to bring these things in

Thank you xbmc team, please give app an option to run as dashboard is a great idea. actually xbmc looks can launch any Android apps from its Programs menu. I don't even need to leave xbmc ui at all. excellent!
Great work and thank you.
