When you flash a firmware
I expressly linked to the post where the firmware was posted in addition to the direct download link. If you like what you see and use, I strongly suggest that you click on the "post" link and go give reputation to the modder. If you have opinions about the firmware, I encourage you to tell it to the modder. It's not guaranteed that they will change their mod but it could give them ideas for future firmware mods.FiiO X5II Firmwares
This thread contains no firmwares for the FiiO X5II (Second generation) player. These can be found in this thread from @x RELIC x.Instructions to port X5 firmwares to the X5II can be found in this post from @AsianInvasion.

A note for the modders
When you are done with your mods, I would suggest putting them in a compressed folder (.zip or the likes). That way you can name the compressed folder anything you want while keeping the x5.fw name intact. This gives you the opportinity to put a readme file with your signature, any copyright thingies you want and a quick install instruction.This will make it easier for you to manage multiple mods and easier for the "consumers" who will have all they need in one package.When posting new mods please include the following details:
- Name of the mod/theme
- For new themes: name it whatever you want, I just want a name to list it in the first post
- For modifications to existing themes: Provide the name of the original theme so I can list it at the proper location
- Version of the firmware. If not specified, I will list it in the latest stable version by default.
- Language specific (if applicable)
Can't wait
