When first time booted--us meets such screen...



List of preinstalled apps among which present 5 Chinese apps of unknown nature, filmonlivetv(Chinese version), kill apps and Netflix. Firmware rooted-- SuperSU installed, default language English.



About device tab shows us that stock firmware is addressed at CS968A model of Android Box



Amazing wallpapers in KitKat



Hidden menu of Launcher

Storage space available after installation



In this firmware Adroid box can properly mount simultanously 6 USB sticks(0-5). Previous firmware at all did not know how to unmount flash drives over usb ( there simply was no entry in menu) so user had to unplug it and risk to lose all info. Good job.


List of Downloaded apps. Looks like we can officially through menu uninstall three chinese apps,Shafa Market, Kill apps and FilmOn Live TV.



This green guy all the time sits in notification area until stopped. I wonder what is his function? Isnt he some kind of spy?



Also Green guy until stopped has on desktop flying Kitten shape widget



Another unknown software



Another mistake which happenes from firmware to firmware--- is related to Ukrainian language.
English counterpart Settings-About device. So if changed to Ukrainian language--should be Налаштування-Про пристрій. But they have here Налаштування-про устрій --which is mistake. I wonder will they ever make it the way it has to be once and for all ?


Preinstalled Explorer serves well for its purpose and allows to do initial tasks



In Antutu Benchmark ver 5.6.2 Firmware scored 21674 points. Also Antutu allows to share results which is good sign. It means that manufacturer did not change internal counter from default value in order to cheat and score higher values.
Funny--but if start CPU-Z--then firmware reboots.



Default preinstalled Videoplayers play every format smothly even 1080p. XBMC as well-- awesome. I never seen so smooth ans stable videoplay on Rockchip 3188. Probably Mali400 videodriver preinstalled during compiling of firmware which makes it work perfectly-thats why 3d acceleration on GPU works, which makes it easier for CPU. On Cloudnet CR11/S firmware makes hickups in 1080p. In this firmware all stable--I am amazed.



Codename of XBMC Center preinstalled is "Gotham".



For videoplay Testing were chosen files from Big Bunny Collection from here:
