    After some members told me it's OK to share stuff like this here (Unlike Head-Fi) and ask for Fiio ones, I'm migrating stuff I shared from from Head-Fi to this place right now and I hope to do more soon. :)

    This is the most recent version of Fiio X5iii ROM with the following changes below:

    -Based on firmware version 1.1.6
    -Deodexed
    -Apollo - Fidelity Edition from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apollo-music-player-fidelity-edition-t3038629 included
    -build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
    -bundled audio effects removed but keep main engine (Poweramp works now)

    Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/d6pax82vo0w6jhj/X5iii-1.1.6-WindowsX-Purist.zip

    Installation Guide

    1. Download Factory Tool provided by Devin http://www.mediafire.com/file/0yztdw6qdpwwp9a/X5III+Firmware+Upgrade+Tool+with+FW1.1.1.zip
    2. Turn off Fiio X5iii
    3. Connect X5iii with USB connection to computer while holding previous track button
    4. Install RK USB driver included in Firmware Upgrade Tool and replace update.img image with mine.
    5. Open X5III Firmware Upgrade Tool.exe and flash ROM according to instructions provided in Instructions of How to Use the X5 3rd gen Firwmare Upgrade Tool.pdf

    Since many people asked for fixing Poweramp stuff, I decided to lower the bar for people who want it. This is different from Advanced ROM I cooked for some members before but that's as far as I can do to keep up with compatibility request.

    Many thanks to Fiio team for providing firmware upgrade tool. I hope you guys will enjoy this ROM.

    If you have any question about the ROM to ask personally, please use my E-Mail address [email protected] instead of PM for faster response. :)

    New Fiio X5iii 1.1.7 ROM is out now. It also comes with the following updates for Enhanced/Advanced ROM users as below.

    -Boot image optimized for better stability
    -Build configuration has more runtime optimizations added
    -Kernel is now 1.1.7 for USB DAC compatibility (and it doesn't sound that bad anymore)
    -Launcher and IME is now optimized stock due to requests

    Hey just a quick question. Are you the person behind the products sold on the Fidelizer website?
    If so, maybe it would be a good idea to ask a staff member for a MOT label in your profile.
    I can see the value of the work you're doing and providing users here with, seemingly free of charge, but I think it would be fair to make sure everyone knows that you're also a business owner involved in our hobby.

    If not - or if this has already been up for discussion, I apologize.

    ....and I can see part of my question answered here. Can you please liaise with a staff member to get a custom MOT label?

    Thanks

    Well, I don't know whom I can talk to about that. I already introduced myself properly there and share stuff to improve products for free here.

    Of course if someone want better products and services, I can provide them too but I won't push them to members in forum. :)

    A Moderator can take care of this for you. If you go to Home or Forums and look down the right side of the page, you will see Staff Online Now. (Some are Moderators, some have other rolls.) The Moderator online at this moment is:

    @ultrabike - https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?members/ultrabike.19/

    Click on his avatar and click on Start a Conversation. Then let him know you need MOT (Member of the Trade) status.

    Also, there is a complete list of the Staff here. The Mods will have Moderator in their profile.
    https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?members/&type=staff

    You have not done anything wrong here. It is a rule for "Member of the Trade" members to be identified as such, though.
