NEW - Draco AW80 - Finless ROM 1.1 - BETA2

[Ted Hazlewood]

Popcorn.apk

Showbox confirmed working on my 1.1 ROM.

Someone have the Popcorn time APK so I can check it?

Bob

I have the popcorn.apk file. I tried to attach it to this but it wouldn't go. Do you have a site I can upload it to.

And thanks for testing Showbox, as well as responding to my question on TWRP.

Right after the upgrade i played Big Bugs Bunny and video quality was excellent even got the wife to pause and watch for 5 minutes but now sadly after leaving the device unplugged for 20 minutes still no power

1. Is there an SD card in your slot? If so, what was on the card? Remove it and try again.

2. Connect the box to your PC via the USB port at the back. Simultaneously connect power and press the reset button under the box. Does the PC audibly connect to the box?

3. Can you try another 12v 2a power supply with connector that fits?

@Zahir
I tried that before i reached out to Bob and just repeated it for you, still no luck

[lemack]

@Zahir,
There was an Sd Card in the slot yes I had just done my restore of xbmc and tested big bugs bunny and updating my SRP sources for videos to test when the power went out. I have two telos they are christmas gifts. Seems like i'll be down to one gift if this doesn't revive itself.

[Zahir]

When you plug in power is there a very faint blue gleam from the LED, really faint?

Like a pinprick? If so, see if you can re-install the stock rom with the PhoenixCard method.

[Finless]

I cannot help much other than reflash the ROM if you can. Otherwise I think maybe your box died.
With this ROM I left my box on for over 24 hours and no issue so doubt seriously my ROM did it. Only way is if the heat sink was not attached well to begin with.

Tnx, Bob

BTW: I tryed to boost SD cache performance on the your first ROM.
Changed SD cache value to 1024 and governor to performance. Achived up to 59k in Antutu

Where did you do this to change SD cache size? Not sure I have seen that one before in this ROM?

I've been running this rom flat out for 4 hours, with one 1080p video after another - and there's no sign of it heating up at all. Maybe not quite as cool as stock, but still nothing compared to an M8, Ouya or even the Fire TV.

@Bob, @Zahir,
I think it may have been a faulty device, Bob, I just thought you may have known a trick to power test the board, lets say if the led light went out, for example. I have the second one up and running. I have installed the 1.1 Finless Rom and installing kodi now I will leave this one on overnight to check. Bob My showbox apk from my Samsung S5 didn't work, it kept saying check network settings. What version of showbox did you test. At the next Rom update can you place a folder called removed apps to replace those that may be junk to you

Thanks Lemack

[Zahir]

If there isn't even a blue pinprick when you plug in power, seems like your box was faulty. Hope you can get a replacement asap.

@Bob, small bug?: some settings don't survive a reboot, like hardware keyboard under Language and Input. But the external keyboard still works...

I will look into it. That's going to be a database issue with settingsprovider.apk. Should be easy to fix I hope

Until then, if you have time pull settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk from the stock Draco ROM and put them in this and see if it solves it.
If you need those APKs, let me know and I can pull them and publish them.

Bob

p.s. that bug is probably also in the Fantasy ROM.

1. Yes, please!

2. Almost certainly it was.

FYI I now know how to easily write a new config.fex file.

Anyone want to try a super config.fex that will clock DDR to max allowed? Or do we have good enough?

I am also going to start playing with CPU overclocking if anyone is interested?

Here are the sSettingsAssist and SettingsProvider APKs. These are from the stock Draco ROM.

Use ES file explorer and copy them into priv-app replacing what is there. Remember to set permissions so they match everything else in priv-app.

Let me know if this solves the hardware keyboard issue.
