Hello - looks beautiful- I tried to install this under Frodo latest release running on a droid g-box midnight confluence loaded as the only skin, everything is default / unmodified in XBMC.

I used the native XBMC interface to download the Aeon Nox skin.

The Aeon Nox download finished, installed, but the skin will not load. I keep getting an error on screen saying "missing files' so it will not initiate and reverts back to Confluence. I tried rebooting, uninstall / reinstall several times. no love. same error- missing files. any guidance from you pros?

download this http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/frodo/ski...-4.0.9.zip
and choose "install from zip"

(i wouldn´t install nox on an android device.)

Because skin will be slooooooooow, I think.

Aeon Nox need power.

But it's easy to test it on your android box : install it, try it and tell us if skin load well, if menu navigation is smooth, ...

thx- I tried Hybrid skin and it is slightly slower than Confluence, as a comparative benchmark. I'd say 99% of access to the G-Box and XBMC will be from touchscreen remotes, and not the main XBMC interface. So perhaps skinning is really not needed. I just like cool looking things, and this skin looks the coolest
