Great that you found a solution for the problems you had by using FTMC.

I think it depends on what you connect to.

I have been running FTMC of the Freaktab Rom V4 and get the 'Green Screen' bug.
I am not at home and currently connected to a Sony 1080p tv and have probs.

I have no idea if V3 is any sturdier but had run that a lot with my viewsonic monitor and it was solid.

V4 even just closing FTMC brings up an error on the A912 SN series.

Will have to do some testing when I get back.

Kodi 1.7 is as good as released and I am confused at some of the posts about amlogic.

Welcome to Android MediaCodec standards only

One of the last custom implementation we had was Amlogic related code which was the device were it all started with Kodi on Android. We had to resolve to this custom implementation back then to acces certain hardware parts which Android officially couldn’t yet. Due to this legacy and how we had things implemented we couldn’t switch this off just yet in past releases. Over the past months with the help of MINIX we have been working closely with the Amlogic to get everything in order and we can say Android Marshmallow and onward will have the best experience possible for devices containing these chipsets. Amlogic even went as far as adding the IEC61937 audio passthrough back into Android Marshmallow which  normally is only available since Android Nougat. We would certainly like to thank Amlogic and MINIX for going to this extend of cooperation making the experience and support of Kodi on Android a bit better. Now Amlogic has done their part on proving a good bases it’s up to manufacturers and vendors to supply updates for their devices over coming months. We are certain that manufacturers with good support will send out these updates as soon as they are ready. What does this mean for you regular users? Mostly we kept the proper support for devices running Android 5 Lollipop and you shouldn’t notice any real difference. Should your device receive the newer Android 6 Marshmallow you will gain these improvements mentioned above. For devices using other chipsets we don’t really know but we are hoping they will follow.
