Thank you very much for your wonderful rom and instructions! My kids are enjoying the device thanks to you!!! Only 2 questions: 1.Youtube isn't take the whole screen, it is somehow "cut" about 1/3 from the bottom of my tv. Is it a know problem? Has any fix? 2. Kodi's menu is not right... I mean it is like "washed" .. Is it a known problem too?
