[ROM][5.0.2] Unofficial CyanogenMOD 12 for MK808B-Plus - WeTek Gift

[ChristianTroy]

Release notes

Hello guys, I guess most of you have noticed that, right now, I'm just working on WeTek products (and couldn't be anything different since I really like doing this kind of stuff for them).
To prove you that WeTek Electronics cares about community and since we don't have any AMLogic S805 product, we decided to make users of MK808B-Plus happy by releasing a CyanogenMOD 12 build for them.

Userspace and kernel code has been upgraded to Amlogic's Lollipop SDK dated 2015-01-31 (they removed Widevine DRM support in Lollipop so apps like Play Movies won't be able to stream, I'm sorry).



First install instructions

* As really first thing I suggest you to flash stock "109k4" rom using "AMLogic Burning Tools" in case you're not already using that ROM or Finless' 1.1.
* Grab CWM from here, unzip it and copy "recovery.img" file to a MicroSD.
* Power off your device and unplug the AC power cord.
* Get the latest available ROM and GAPPS version from the links below and copy them to a MicroSD card.
* Now insert the MicroSD card in your HDMI stick.
* Plug the AC power cord while you keep pressed the little reset pinhole (located on the top left of the device) until you see the "Google TV" logo.
* Once the device has booted to recovery perform a factory reset and flash the ROM's zip for first followed by the GAPPS zip.
* Reboot and enjoy CyanogenMOD brought to you by WeTek.



Update instructions

* Get the latest available ROM and GAPPS version from the links below and copy them to a MicroSD card.
* Now insert the MicroSD card in your HDMI stick.
* Enable "Developer options" following this tutorial and from it enable the "Reboot to recovery" option.
* Bring up power menu by keeping F5 (if you have a keyboard plugged in) and select "Reboot -> recovery", otherwise use the pinhole method adove.
* Once the device has booted to recovery flash the ROM's zip for first followed by the GAPPS zip.
* Reboot and enjoy your updated CyanogenMOD.

ooooooooh ya!

You DA man C T thanks for all the hard work. Can't wait to try it on my MXQ.

[ChristianTroy]

If you had a WeTek Play you could have run it since a month :P

[assmunche]

sorry C T

I would love to support you guys but I'm looking for something a Lil more powerful kinda future proof for awhile. Not that the mxq is but its really cheap. Hopefully your next project will be something a Lil more powerful. I'll definitely buy one. I love your Support.

ChristianTroy when a S82 version?

[prahjister]

WeTek knows how to get customers

Impressed

sorry someone core correct my title. Damn auto correct. They deserve it.

[ChristianTroy]

ChristianTroy when a S82 version?

There's not going to be any, this is just a release to bring some Lollipop love to a selected S8 device that is not competing with anything that WeTek is selling, for the same reason the Android TV build will be exclusive for the WeTek Play

Ok 👍

Everything works well that i tested except Netflix is laggy with artifacts ocassionally.

First time ever using any cm. Now I can see why everyone likes it.

One thing...on first boot. It keeps trying to use the old launcher. I had to pull down notifications. Go into settings and clear the data of that launcher.

When amlogic releases update will you update?

[ChristianTroy]

Maybe, but don't expect anything soon, last year their first KK SDK was released in March.

Try to post a Netflix logcat, I thing it wanna use OMX and, failing, falls back to software rendering.

BTW what old launcher? There shouldn't be any old launcher, did you factory reset it? In case try again, and if you haven't factory reset try Netflix again after doing one.

You can't upgrade safely from major Android versions, well you can but if something breaks you have to factory reset, so better doing it before starting.

I will do a log cat tomorrow...you are probably right about software rendering. It played ok at the lower bit rates as it ramped up. I was surprised it even worked with DRM removed. I think it is called media launcher. I did a fresh flash of stock before installing. Also I either had to let it boot once or format data in cwm to install.

[ChristianTroy]

to be sure to start "clean", while in cwm from "mounts and storage" menu do a manual format of "system" and of the last entry on the bottom, something like "data and sdcard", after that flash rom and zip again.

Try netflix, if it fails grab a logcat and save it. Try to flash this zip and see if it works, in case it fails again grab a new logcat and post both of them.

I really hate the fact of not being able to try this damn Netflix, it always gives rough times

manual wipe did the trick. OMX is all over this log cat

Did you try flashing the zip I included and trying after that?
