MINIX has recently released a new firmware update for its NEO G4 mini PC. There are two models that get the update: NEO G4-108A and NEO G4-108C.

Version 1118 improves video playback quality, removes Google's search bar from the Launcher screen, adds GridShow MINIX launcher as well as a new manual hide/show system bar feature.

This is activated by long pressing menu key on remote and is preloaded with the latest AirPin PRO, AirDroid and CloudTV apps.

The NEO A2 airmouse audio setting and key logic are applied and Chrome browser is removed.

To update, download the firmware file for your model, extract it to an accessible location and, using the flashing tool (“RKBatchTool.exe.”), install the new update. Be advised: to install version 1118, use the “Restore” button and not the “Upgrade” one.

Also, it is crucial to back up all data before the update, as it will be completely lost in the process.

Get the new firmware at the links below, install it and stay “updated one minute ago.”
