what about warranty if I flash this custom firmware?
-
Any firmware we (username 'futeko') post on this forum will not invalidate your warranty.

Futeko, but this is not the Firmware Update of this week, you were talking of?

Futeko, but this is not the Firmware Update of this week, you were talking of?

Hi, how are you.

Can I change the language to Spanish ?
Thank you. A great forum.

A firmware reinstall will wipe everything on the box.
Kodi settings can be backed up using this addon: http://kodi.wiki/view/add-on:backup

HiMedia say official firmware release next week.

You can install any firmware over any other.
Yes you can use Spanish language with this custom firmware. Language support is the same as with official firmware.

BTW Futeko
I had very bad experience with this Firmware, and meanlwhile the Original is already installed after testing the othe for some hours.
1. Powerbar - as I wanted to switch off the Q10 Pro by the Powerbar, the Q10 Pro hang up. No reaction any more. Fini.
I had similar experiences on the X6 Pro with that power bar, that does not work 100%... to say it in calm words.
2. Kodi 16.1
Hung up by trying to end it by the Exit button for severy times (language installed: geman)
3. EX Explorer made an update, and from then on, ES Explorer started every time I started the Q10 Pro
After some hours suddenly my Fantec HDD Bay could not be found any more. Nothing, neither restarts of the Q10 Pro nor restarts of the Fantec and even disconnecting both from Power and plugging it to different USB ports had any effect. No USB HDDs any more. Finito.
And that was the point, where I took an USB Stick and installed the Original Firmware, installed Nova Launcher and everything is alright again. Never again.
After my about 7 hours experiences I absolutely cannot recommend this Custom Firmware. :(

Hello Alter_Schwede62
Thanks for feedback.
1 Powerbar, I think your refer to Power Menu(com.minix.power_selector), HiMedia FW don't support Android shutdown method so, is work like this:
Shutdown --> you are right, HiMedia box stack
Sleep -- Shutdown
Restart --> Restart
HiMedia need to make own Power/Reboot application working on his box.
2 Kodi bug, please use other Kodi version from mirrors.kodi (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/), Kodi 16.1 build from kodi.tv have many other problems on this box, waitng new HiMedia FW and official Kodi 17 alpha2 for testing on Q10 Pro.
3 ES Explorer started every time I started the Q10 Pro, this is future of ES Explorer 4.x.x in all Android Box, unchecked "USB plugin message".
For all other how want to give a try of cosmetic FW please do install with restore button.
Installing form menu o top of original HiMedia FW is not good idea Kodi, Facebook, Netflix, Skype, maybe not work proper after this.
All feedback are welcome.

Thanx for your answer.
I installed both Firmwares completely new.
USB Stick, push the reset/update button on the back, pushing the ON/OFF of the remote and install the whole Firmware.
However, I am waiting for the upcoming Himedia Firmware 1.03 or however it is called.

With Custom Firmware in resolution 2160p / 60 can not be selected: YCBCr 422 10 bit or 420 10bit. With the original firmware, it could. (My tv permits, I checked).
In general, applications are better, but I had problems with Plex. With original firmware. With the original firmware, I closed the play store, youtube ...

I just got my Q10 pro yesterday. Out of the box, it will not play 4k and audio is stuck at Pro Logic only. I guess I need this custom firmware to fix all of that.
If I understand this correctly, I only need this custom firmware update to make everything work. This means I do not need to manually install the Wrapper or anything else - is that correct?
Any other advice before I install this?
Update: Installed and everything went ok. I was able to fix the audio settings in KODI so DTS sounds is working again. I'm getting great sound and this Q10 Pro is up-scaling my 1080p movies to 2160p, looks awesome!
playback of 4k movies with DTS sound is not working very good.
Can anyone tell me how to delete some of the default icons from the home screen? For example, I don't need youtube on the home screen, so how can I get rid of it?

You should install wrapper for Kodi. At the moment you are using internal Kodi player which gives 5.1 sound max and lacks some of the hardware video features of Q10 Pro. Wrapper install instructions here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=710.0
You can't get rid of icons, but you can change what apps they contain. Using the remote, press menu button when hovering over an icon. You'll be taken to the app menu where you can select an alternative.

I installed the custom firmware, which says it comes with Wrapper 3.6. Are you saying I still need to manually install the wrapper on top of the custom firmware? Or do I need to go back to stock firmware and then just add the Wrapper - which means I should not have used the custom firmware. Please confirm.
Thank you!

Just use (for now), original firmware shipped with
Q10 Pro , then install wrapper

Personally , I would hold off on custom firmwares for now until few more problems/bugs have been ironed out on the original shipping firmware.
We are expecting an official new firmware update any day now from Himedia (although the wait seems like an eternity)
Just keep an eye out @ http://www.himediatech.com/support.htm

Ok thank you, that is what I will do. I have the wrapper, thank you. I do not know what version my unit came with, but I found this pre release version in the Firmware forum section:
HMD-1.0.1 2016-03-22.170326
Q10 PRO FIRMWARE 1.0.1-FUTEKO-EN. 21-APR-2016 (22-MAR BUILD)
With new firmware expected any day, I may just wait and go direct to that, assuming it is released in the next couple of days.
One question for audio settings to be sure I'm testing correctly. I connect everything via HDMI. My Receiver is (will be after this weekend) a Yamaha RX-A750BL 7.2-Channel. Based on what I have read in these forums, I should be selecting the follow settings:
HDMI: RAW
SPDIF: Close
HBR Output: 7.1
Is that the best settings?

Those 2 firmwares you mention are exactly the same and are infact what is shipped with the Q10 Pro on release.
The SPDIF setting doesnt matter if you are using HDMI to connect
