I have an M3 model, Firmware: ICS-110913-M3, currently on Gotham stable.
 
I found Extending your app space to your mSD card and moving XBMC there actually slower (might just be my Sandisk card). Then again i hardly have other apps installed. Same with swap files/partitions on mSD, personally found it of no benefit or worth the trouble. Best results with XBMC on the internal memory and using a clean (no partitions, factory formatted) SD card for userdata.
 
So far only found one android FTP app that doesn't shut down the wireless: WellFTP Server.
Updating XBMC: Been using "XBMC updater" app for Alpha and Betas. Replaces and removes old version (First use download, then use install button). And "Rescan Media" to turn off Android's media scanner.
 
Hardware acceleration: Amcodec + libstagefright turned on seems to play the most. If you have better info plz add.
 
Been using the below advancedsettings.xml file on Gotham. Anyone have improvements plz share.

Pivos XIOS DS is an ARM-based media player set-top box that can run XBMC on either Android or Linux.

This Pivos XIOS DS was the original reference hardware target for the XBMC for Android port development. Pivos XIOS DS performs roughly at the level as a jailbroken ATV2, but also comes with USB ports, micro-SD card, and doesn't need to be jailbroken.

Random notes

Feel free to place various notes, tips, and links here. As this section of the wiki gets more organized, those notes will be properly sorted. Consider this like a dumping ground for when you're not sure where to put something.

  • User notes:

I have an M3 model, Firmware: ICS-110913-M3, currently on Gotham stable.

I found Extending your app space to your mSD card and moving XBMC there actually slower (might just be my Sandisk card). Then again i hardly have other apps installed. Same with swap files/partitions on mSD, personally found it of no benefit or worth the trouble. Best results with XBMC on the internal memory and using a clean (no partitions, factory formatted) SD card for userdata.

So far only found one android FTP app that doesn't shut down the wireless: WellFTP Server. Updating XBMC: Been using "XBMC updater" app for Alpha and Betas. Replaces and removes old version (First use download, then use install button). And "Rescan Media" to turn off Android's media scanner.

Hardware acceleration: Amcodec + libstagefright turned on seems to play the most. If you have better info plz add.

Been using the below advancedsettings.xml file on Gotham. Anyone have improvements plz share.
