ROM: HardwareGuru 5.0 HLS/DRM for X5,X5mini and G4

[HardwareGuru]

HardwareGuru 5.0 with full HLS support
================================================== =====
Specs:

- DRM root detection disabled
- Full HLS streaming support
etc...

Known bugs:
- Netflix gives 5-10 seconds scrabmled picture uppon start.

Kernel is outside boot.img so can be changed !

That was the less important .. now the important things..
================================================== =====
What does it do?

LIVE Streaming Apps ( HLS ):
- Root detection disabled (DRM), we need to test this !
- All HLS app should work, YES ALL !!

Tested apps: these where broken on rockchip!
- NPO (fully functional)
- RTLXL (fully functional)
- 3FM (fully functional) also the cam!
- NPO FIFA 2014 (fully functional)

================================================== =====
Need root?
Remember Root breaks some apps for root detection!
This is a basic non rooted rom for a simple reason.
- Everyone that needs root can mostly root it..
- People that dont need or want it mostly dont know how to unroot a firmware.
I made rooting over adb simple so most tutorials will work to root it. (ro.secure=0)
Tool to root: http://xbmc.hardwareguru.nl/MinixNeoX7_Utility.zip

Flash Notes: ( READ this )
- Flashtool not included ( need rkflashtool )
- Unzip the .img and flash it with rkflashtool
- The kernel boot dont show a logo, so the first boot can give you about a minute black screen !! just be patiant !! the second boot will go much faster.
- When you first boot, wait till "Airpin starts" before doing anything or the app installer will abort !! you will end up without preloaded apps !! This can take some time !! just be patiant !!
... Sorry for all the !! but some seem to need it

+1, After flashing stuck on kernel boot screen.

Could you also release a HLS patch (with all the modified .so files), because after extracting your rom and copying all files from /lib to the stock 010 X7 rom (modified for X5) the MIRACAST (wifi display) stopped working.

Thanks for your work on the older 3066 chip but I can't get it to boot on G4a, same as above stuck on boot logo

Probably something went wrong packing the files ;-) I repackaged the img files and now it works, but the miracast and mirroring using the airpin app don't work any more. (They both did work on the finless 1.9 based on stock 010 X7 firmware (modified for the X5))

Could you make a zip package with only the modified (.so) files?

Why?
Then I can test the HLS apps on the stock 010 X7 firmware (modified for the X5). Only the 010 version has working miracast (all older versions don't work (or just for about 60 seconds)).
If you don't ant to share publicly you can also send me a PM with the files so i can test it.

It would be very nice to have a rom with working HLS streams, Miracast (wifidisplay) and Airplay mirroring, wouldn't it?

[HardwareGuru]

I am going to test these uploads now. they should work :S

[HardwareGuru]

Found the issue,

My scripts copied the wrong parameter file.. will upload in a few minutes again. First X5

@karel a single patch will be made in a few days. so please be patiant.

[HardwareGuru]

X5 rom tested and updated

[quincyquinn]

Look forward to testing the G4 Rom...

[HardwareGuru]

X5mini updated and tested

[HardwareGuru]

Both G4 links also updated.
I can not test G4 at the moment but they should be good now.

G4a boots now thanks... will test some more, only problem is Netflix is not working but I think this a problem with the base Rom used..

I used the 4.2.2 official minix rom as a base. Is HSL working as it should?

I think it is boots fine will test some more apps over the next couple of days and let you know its just Netflix given me problems it works on 4.1 but not 4.2 for some reason...

Thanks for your work on this device guru....;-)
