Ok, so it's time to start shaking things up a bit. As we have said many times before, we love being first with groundbreaking developments, so here we go...
For obvious reasons, we will be supplying you with small tidbits of information as to what our HUGE news is all about. As is to be expected from a team like ours, (unlike many others) we only begin releasing information days before we are ready to release, so we will be posting regular hints before the start of the new REVOLUTION! Our developments are so HUGE, and GROUNDBREAKING, that we are forced to jump straight from version 1.1 to version 2.0. Our new core advancements not only provide more stability and flexibility, but will help to expedite our unique development process, and will open up doors and break through boundaries never possible before. We have been working really hard and as we reveal more and more features in upcoming posts you will be amazed at what has been achieved!
That should be enough to get you guessing for now. Stay tuned!
P.s. (could not resist one more hint) There are also new developments and improvements to our very own Super Crypt Stealth ACT system, that has been around since version 1.x, and is bigger and better than ever before.

Anyone know what they're talking about here?

Is this really something huge or just marketing? |
Yes/No.
Anything said by them.. and others.. of course is marketing. It is a business.
However.. v2 is a whole new ballgame OS wise for them. How important it becomes to the end-user.. time will tell.
I have no doubt it is a real feature.. but at the same time.. I'm sure it's a mild shot at Smartxx.
I have to agree with DEATHBUNNY and HSDEMONZ on this. My xenium does what its suppose to anything else is just nice to have. Agreed M$ checking for mods via LPC is more than likely in the near future and something will be needed to get around it, who wants to take the mod off the mobo everytime they get on XBL.
I forgot to speculate earlier. Silly me, I lost sight of what this thread's about! I've been dying for a dozen features since the introduction of the Xenium to my 'box. (this afternoon, I'm a n00b) (but don't get any ideas, some of you may know more Xbox-specific stuff than I, but I'll kick your ass when it comes to any other geek-related field
)
Features I want:
1) The ability to edit BIOS features in the OS menu, for example configuring the XBOX logo screen colors, eject LED colors, etc.
2) Puppies. Lots of puppies. The menu is far too harsh and cold. Maybe put this picture in the background, give users a warm fuzzy feeling.
3) That "Super Crypt Stealth ACT"-majigger. I have no idea what it is, but stealths are cool, and crypts (either the dead-people place or the encryption kind) are always cool. The ACT wasn't that bad to take, but damn if it was stealth and encrypted, I'm sure my score would have been lower.
4) The actual D0 wire that was supposed to be included in the first place. Can they package hardware into downloads yet?
5) Software that imports the SmartXX OS updates, automagically giving the Xenium every feature they develop - so we can stop playing catch-up with each other and get on with our lives.
Xenium v2.0
wow cant wait ... im sure there will be loads of coool features
Don't trust the verifiying app until it is.. uh.. verified by OzXodus. Fishy Business with it.
4) OS Backround change (splash logo is pretty cool) but maybe a backround change on the menu and font change.
5) Skins (if possible)
6) There is no #6. I was going to write something, but I forgot and now I am too lazy to delete 6).

I was hoping for:
1) Ability to edit the BIOS through the Xenium OS (X Logo colors, eject LED mod, etc.) like deathbunny said. 2) Ability to FTP into the Xenium OS. 3) Pretty cool if you could upgrade your Xenium OS FROM THE XENIUM OS!!! 4) OS Backround change (splash logo is pretty cool) but maybe a backround change on the menu and font change. 5) Skins (if possible) 6) There is no #6.

| Dynamic Bios Cooking Technology |
that was the best name they could think of?
it's obviously bios compression, and bios uncompression on bootup.
marksu, that was the exact same thing I was thinking it was and had just posted that thought in another thread. I know that that would be possible, as the OS can basically do that right now, except you have to manually flash the Bios from the harddrive, then tell it to boot, if they but if they did something like that it would be doing it automatically.
I think there is more to it than that though, possibly something along the lines of what khg said, but I have no clue.

That would be excellent to integrate into the OS. The X3 Live Config, as we have seen, does this... no reason Xenium can't.

Yeah, notice I said that even before Team X3 released their video about that, and TeamOZXodus said that the color changing stuff was "easy"!

Yup.
I imagine it would be integrated because it is "easy". I'm not challenging anything, just saying it'd be good to add.
so where is this great OS 2.0?
the anti clone stuff doesn't help me very much. what i need is an updated OS that fixes the problem of not booting to the original bios. i can't use xbox live without it. this failure alone prevented me from buying a second xenium. i shelled out some serious cash for this expensive chip. lets get it working properly and then worry about the clone wars.
Would a passwordless HDD unlock feature be possible?? would be a big help to me IMO

You cannot unlock a harddisk without a key, no.
Sorry.
--Arti
EDIT: If you could... it's wouldnt be much of a 'lock' really.
but imagine a feature on the chip that will find the key ( as an alternative to probing...) and then unlock it.... using that key... the xbox was once locked... that sure proved a thing or two about locks....
like a brute force attack on the hd lock?

It would take ages.
Literally.
You might have the key by the time the xbox3 was cracked.
It'd be at least enough time for you to just save up and buy a new drive.
--Arti
I think that the hard drive would die first. Assuming that the manufacture followed the spec, and the drive has to be power cycled every 4 tries.

One thing i've found is that hard drive and cd/dvd drive manufacturers.....
WOULDNT KNOW A SPEC OR A STANDARD IF IT BIT EM!
Hehe...
Especially these damned Thomsans.
Did they READ the ATAPI spec?
Did they even KNOW there was one?
Ok, enough of my bitching about techy matters which noone cares about.... back to work I go.
--Arti
does anyone know when it will release? I need to know becuase I haerd that OS 2.0 is going to fix the problem when you boot to the M$ bios, and it jsut restarts.
It will be released "soon"... thats all they tell me....
ive been waiting.... i waited forever for xos 1.1
Welp, they sure as heck want to release it before the X3 comes out in a few weeks... This pressure could help cause right now they dont really have any motivation to release it.
If they dont, they wont be able to compete with the X3 and its features and end up losing a few customers.
So expect a release within a couple of weeks is my guess.
my guess is that they've run into some major problems. in their original os2.0 announement, they gave the impression that the release was days away and that was weeks ago. they may be spending this extra time trying to combat the clones by ensuring that this great os2.0 doesn't work on clone chips. however, odds are that this anti-cloning effort will cause great headaches to we real xenium owners.

SmartXX have heard of Xenium's plans to release the Xenium Cheerleader and have started work on the Smart XX Cheerleader, which will feature the same features plus more features not featured on any other cheerleader on the market today. These include incredibly bad english and grammar, and twice as big flashable breasts. Preorder now and recieve bug updates every 5 minutes!

Read my post again...I'm not bashing anyone here other than the kid that posted all that garbage. In fact, if anything, I am supporting SmartXX by stating that people are desiring larger flash sizes and also Xenium for working on incorporating more. But hey, if that makes me a Xecuter "fanboy" then so be it...

/edit
BTW Master-Chief, I just bought a Xenium earlier this week and I am sure in a few weeks a SmartXX will follow...
Also, since you are 13, I completely understand how you would be offended by my statement and feel the need to reply with such a pointless comment. Congratulations on proving my point.
I think next week we'll see just how unimportant the size of the chip bios banks are, and how important the 1mb OS bank on the Xenium is compared to the half mb on SmartXX. Advantage, Xenium.
who said i was bitchin ??? i have a xenium fukr... and its more then perfect for what i do.... which is more then backups... but dont attack me... this thread is supposed to be about XOS2.0 ... i was just giving my 5 cents on who was better....
