One that is definatly needed Flashable from any drive on the xbox (USB not included for now as I know how dificult it may be) |
Can you perhaps elaborate more on that? I don't quite understand what you mean...
At the moment you can only flash from the D and C drives
Would be nice to see e included at least then you could just shift across bioses in game saves

1-Fan speed option(I have all my bios with the fan mod to it run like 12v but XOS run it only as 7v) 2-Support to G drive when copying partitions,and a option to do it separately,if i want to copy only the C partition,or the E partion or the F partition or the G partition) 3-More led options(i don't know if the xenium chip supports more colors,but if it can do more colors put more ) 4-I think the XOS can boot faster then it do with the actual versions,can't it? 5-More languages option(if ozxodus i can do the translation to portuguese) 6-Skins(like,i download the xos then patch it with the skin i want with some program) 7-For me ftp would be useless but many people would like ozxodus to put it on XOS |

I learned something else.. I am using a Y splitter type cable for my cathode and LEDs, and it seems like thats affecting it. When I eliminate the Y splitter it works fine, but when I hook it back up it just loads the BIOS instead of the Xenium OS! |
One word PSU
It may not be able to supply all the power your demanding out of it
It wasn't built for a PC nore was it built to be overclocked

Hmmm... I doubt that... how come it worked with my Cheapmod before. And also, how come it was working before but not now?
Maybe the new chip draws more current.....?????
FTP FTP FTP FTP FTP, THATS ALL I NEED

UMMMMM oh I vote for FTP also
Not like I would need this feature, but maybe for others, a multi-lingual OS for Xenium would be cool. The ability to choose which language you prefer like Spanish, French, Deutch (sp?), Italin, etc.
Also, the ability to load the OS without a controller and support for generic brand controllers. If you have QuickStart enabled and your controller is NOT plugged in, it should goto the Default BIOS. If you have QuickStart disabled, it should just load the OS.
Skins? Built-in FTP? Perhaps it can also function as a menu for your games?
Guys, try to remember that it's not a dashboard...it's a small utility to get your BIOS needs going. It happens to have a couple lightweight bells and whistles. If you think it takes too long to boot now, these extras you're suggesting will only slow it down more.
Well they could make it optional to load them couldn't they...?
thread... i would love to see da tsop flashing....
not sure if its possible though

Personally I dont care about the load time of the XOS, most people dont like to boot all the way into their dashboard just to ftp there games over. I don't.
So one less step would be good to go
i vote ftp as well seeing as how many do seem to have issue burning discs(i was one) and my current personal way of laoding a dash is still using my mech disc:)
built in ftp would make this and disc burning unnecessary.
The only thing I would really care to see added would be an FTP feature.
It would be alot nicer to be able to install the mod and FTP to the Xbox via the modchip instead of having to burn a new disc everytime I build a new Xbox.
TSOP flashing support for those who solder the points together on the mobo would be nice too. I'd like to be able to flash TSOPs with my Xenium.
Skins would be nice too but I care more about FTP support.

I'm almost done so close on a memorysave based installation system
All apps emulators dashboards all stored in memorycard saves

Besides the bios install it will be a copy and go adventure no more having to 'install' anything so to speak

Why not just...NOT throw away the disc? Maybe even use it in another Xbox? I hear you can use DVD-Rs more than once nowadays.
I have a single EvoX boot disc on Ritek DVD-R. In addition to EvoX, it's got a couple tools like boXplorer, Configmagic, etc. I've had it for slightly over a year. It has booted on EVERY system I have EVER worked with. It has booted flawlessly on all Thomsons, all Philips, and all Samsungs that I've ever come across. I can't imagine why some people run into DDEs.
I guess if you have only a CD-RW drive and can't get a disc to work, FTP might be handy. But if you have a disc that works...I don't understand why you'd be making another one.

SOME of us poor people,

, don't have DVD Burners, and don't want to waste money on them just for Xboxes. I feel that FTP is necessary because once you load the Xenium OS, you could easily FTP your EvoX onto the C Partition. Saves time and grace!
Has nothing to do with reusing discs or not...
I mod alot of systems and some of the DVDROM's dont read burned disc's worth a bent disc... I have modded thomsons that will not read CDR, CDRW and will hardly read DVDR...
Normally I get stuck pulling my Samsung out of my personal Xbox to install Evox...
Would just be alot easier to throw an FTPD right into the OS then I can install mod.. Unlock HDD, put bios on HDD, flash mod, and upload EVox....
When you mod a half dozen to a dozen per day anything to speed up the process is nice.
Sometimes I get lucky and find a Philips or Sammy XBox that will read discs without pot tweaking or a bunch of crap but normally I get stuck using crappy thomsons.
Also being able to flash the Xenium via LAN would be cool too....

I dunno about flashing Xenium through LAN....
It really isn't a BIG feature, but SmartXX makes it seem big. Why not just FTP the BIOS over to your Xbox hard drive through Xenium's upcoming built in FTP (HOPEFULLY!

) and then flash the BIOS through the OS.
Not to bash SmartXX, but the whole FTP via LAN is pretty worthless. If you have the recovery mode, you mine as well use that and FTP a BIOS over and flash. Voila, you're done!
Oh is about 3 mins okay?
That's how long it takes to transfer 120 megs worth of apps emulators and dashboards via a usb memory key lol

Neither does this
I'm just saying FTP is not that much of a necessity or a quick way to go
Edit to below what you sayin mannn you know I'm not a member of OzXodus I told you before I'm just an unemployed man having fun helping people
I think you are on of the few people who don't have a use for this feature. We are not asking for this feature as a minority, but as a MAJORITY! The majority of the people would like this feature implemented, but others won't have a use for it.
Well I'm trying to implement one but I need help and one of the sources I've asked will take away from implementing the other
*don't ask lol*
Edit love the pic EmperorPsiblade
EDIT EDIT when the hell did I become a 'Genius' Penius maybe but not Genius
Could the Remote control buttons have a repeat loop coded?
So I dont have to keep mashing the buttons through the menu.
FTP would be really great.
To OzXodus, Thank You.
Very Nice job.
I want to know more about LCD support.
I definitely want to try this mod.

Yes i have a whole lot of trouble making a boot disk. Its really complicated but, first off nothing reads on my gay ass tommy. Second i have to use my pc dvd drive. Third I DON'T HAVE A POWER SPITTER. Fourth, so i have to use cords in my pc that are literally 3 inches long to get power to my pc dvd drive that is 6 inches AWAY!!! Fift, my pc dvd drive is hookup up threw that short ass ide calbe that we all know about. So finally, every time i want to use a boot disk i have to old up my computer and switch all these cords around and meanwhile it has to be hooked up to my tv so my moving space is very limited. VERY. Its hard as hell and half of yall havent' been through such stress. so thats why i want ftp through OS. Incase i screw something up in evo-x i can recover without that horrible process, ya dig!

Well at least tell us what you're working on!
Hey if you add FTP and TELNET to the Xenium, dont do it like SmartXX did with there lil linux distro, if you can code it right into the OS...
Would be nice if you could setup a IP, Port, login and Pass right in the OS then be able to turn it on and off when u want it.
Or atleast only have it work when u boot to the OS.. Altho I assume it wouldnt work if u didnt boot to the OS anyway.
Being able to TSOP flash from the OS would be nice too for those of us that choose to bridge the 2 points on the mobo. Be alot easier then trying to boot raincoat then telneting to the XBox.
I think those are really the only 2 main things everyone wants, well that and being able to change the skins or make your own. That would be cool too.
Ya I dont really think one chips better or worse then the other but I sorta like that SmartXX seems to keep up the updates more. I know alot of them are bug fixes but still they seem more alive...
I wish the Xenium team would atleast give some idea of what they are working on.
I do think I'm going to order a SmartXX for my other Xbox though, That way I can have both.

All i can say is "1.1 leak"
heh heh heh
I wouldnt say I'm sad or mad they havent released anymore updates, I mean the chip does everything needed to work but some new features would be nice to play with.

-EDIT- 40GB copied so far, slowed down to 9.7MB/sec, taken about an hour.
copy any hard drive, not just less than 137gb. inactivity/sleep timer. alarm clock.
flash bios from dashboard (it has been said that this is not recommended). ftp.
love the chip. its my fovorite!!!
thanks
Chances are, they are going to put in some real cool features, SmartXX will copy them, and improve, and then we will be in the same position.....there is only so far that we can go until...WE GET THE EXTRA FLASHROM CAPABILITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
