Next Android 7 firmware (2.0.3?) update

[futeko.com]

HiMedia have informed us that the next Android 7 firmware is delayed until ~ end March due to more work being required from HiSilicon (Q5/Q10 Pro chipset manufacturer and HiMedia partner company).

We have requested a list of what will be fixed from HiMedia in this firmware and will update this thread when we have it.

The delay is disappointing but it's better in the long run if the firmware ends up delivers what users want.

In the meantime there will be a new Q5/Q10 Pro Android 5.1 firmware today (1.1.0) with a new Media Center poster function and some useful bug fixes.

It is ok for me. A better firmware is always worth the wait, but this is my opinion formed in years of having rushed firmwares on some of the devices I used in time. Patience is golden

Thank you for informing us. I will be patient and wait, no matter how tempting downgrading and installing the new Android 5.1 1.1.0 firmware is!

I'll be delighted if this list of the changelog includes the implementation of AudioTrack v24 or higher, so we can utilise kodi 17's audio passthrough.

Thanks for lettings us know.

Will you add the firmware link to the main thread "Q10pro firmware". I'll bookmark this thread for convenient sake.

Will the new firmware 5.1 work on the Q10 (a300) from kdlinks? Are they ever going to get to android 5.1? I dont' want to brick the box if it doesn't work.

We can wait for a quality firmware to come out.

Maybe after 3 months subtitles problems are fixed.

No it definitely won't. A300 is based on the previous generation HiMedia Q10 (4K3D or quad). This forum: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?board=2.0

You will brick the A300 trying to install Q10 Pro firmware on it.

Same here.

Same here as the changelog on the recent 5.1.1 hasn't addressed anything for me for kodi 17.

I'll try android 7 firmware again if it includes audiotrack v24+.... Oh and being able to change the default launcher (surely that'll be fixed fingers crossed)..

I've only been able to use the wrapper once.  The sound was so much fuller, but now it never works.  Is this a bug?  Using Android 7 & kodi 17

No bug.  Full HD 7.1 audio passthrough works fine with both versions of Android and Kodi, using the wrapper.
Reinstall the wrapper if it is not working for you. See the FAQ.
I even got the wrapper to work with SPMC (see separate thread).

Wrapper is not working with streams!
