I am very happy to be a part of this community and I really love my two odroids (C1 & XU4). It's been a really great learning experience to get to play with those little boards and I advanced to higher levels of experience during this journey in which I understood a lot about linux kernel functions and the OS as whole.
I am gladly introducing my first contribution to the odroid community which is a Debian Jessie 8.3 image with Mate Desktop Environment all accelerated by Mali-X11 drivers and overclockable easily through simple commands, I've done a little tweaking to the image and such other optimizations to improve the overall performance, I think that it's now considerably faster than the official HK ubuntu image.

Special thanks to:
Great people must be credited.

Features
- Lightweight Debian Jessie with Mate Desktop Environment hardware accelerated by Mali-X11 drivers.
- We have our own repository integrated perfectly which means you will receive new kernels & other updates remotely.
- Rootfs is officially debootstrapped from stable (Pure Debian 8.3) armhf branch and is not an upgrade from older distributions.
- Logically increasing ODROID ram from 1GB up-to 2GB by making use of kernel zRAM module.
- Fully Hardware accelerated Kodi (Isengard or Jarvis - FINAL) by OpenGLESv2 along with AMlogic VPU optimizations.
- Great desktop browsing with Chromium Browser that has native EGL acceleration if you want.
- Overclocking & underclocking in a range from 300MHz to 2.0GHz with simple commands and scripts to show current CPU clock and temperature.
- No bloatware at all, only essential tools are installed as deb packages beside the original software.
- You can choose to login directly into Kodi session from the login screen or to the X desktop otherwise.
