Without reading all these pages, what kernels should I install and how do you do it?

Exactly proving my point I guess...

Go here first:

Then install latest version from here:

Thanks that's awesome. I don't have an x5iii yet but it may serve my portable work set up well.

Wiping the cache and Dalvik Cache in TWRP fixed everything and I recommend doing it everytime you install update the kernal

Now it runs like a dream

thanks jkbuha

Just to check, is this as well as install fiio firmware? If so, does it matter what order stuff is installed? Last question I promise

 

[jkbuha]

Presumably you already have FiiO 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 installed. If so just install my kernel over it.

If you're upgrading to 1.2.2, then you'll need to reinstall my kernel once you've installed FiiO's firmware.

I have previous model and lag between pressing button and action killing experience for me , is it still laggy ?

Previous model as in X5 2nd generation? Or previous firmware for the 3rd generation?

 

[Object113]

2nd gen, asking to see if its still exist or is it safe to consider now .
5xii kinda ruined fiio for me .

I mean thousands of posts among hundreds of pages in this thread would seem to suggest the X5iii has had some growing pains. But in the last couple months, with custom ROMs and custom kernel optimizations, and FiiO’s own firmware updates, it’s made great strides.

I agree, it's enjoyable to listen to again without their own music app skipping every now and again during play of the files. I chose the fidelizer option for my firmware along with the newest kernal
by Jkbuka, who made big strides in getting his kernal to help optimize the firmware. I don't use the x5iii for anything other than plugging in some headphones and chillin' to some music, it's all i intended to use it for. Again a shout out to jkbuha, his help has been enormous.

Is this DAP too much for a pair of SE535s?

Not at all.

No plug them in and enjoy

I use mine with the se535 earphones.
Together they work wonderfully.

Hi!
After install your kernel (2.5) on 1.2.2, player freeze on boot screen "Fiio smart hi-res DAP".
Please help...
