I thought i'd add my 2p's worth...
been testing since yesterday, no issues with wifi, tried in two locations, the only issue i had was at home i had to set a static ip, dhcp kept going round in a loop but to be honest i didnt have the patience to wait 10-15 minutes!.
I've tried the taskbar hide app with no problems, there is a setting (disabled by default) to set it running at bootup. From what i can gather this unit comes already 'rooted', i just downloaded superus from the playstore and ran that, allowed the taskbar hide program root access and jobs a goodun.
also downloaded autostart and added signageplayer as the only app.
seems to work fine, doesnt like flash files at all, they do play but it kills the processor. also tried a mini kiosk app as well, it didnt like that either. but to be honest for £50 what do you expect, its a low end player to a low end solution, you want anything fancy then upgrade to a mediabox.
for commercial reasons we will most likely use a mediadroid, but for testing and immediate applications the mk808 is a fine little box.
all that is needed is a way to get the signage controller on it and get rid of the boot up images "Google Tv" and the android boot loader image and we'll have a fab little unit.
