Bad luck for me. I have tried both images but still no full screen on my Samsung LED.

Any workaround ?

1080p kernel

Hi,

These ROMs use the latest stock kernel available for the original MK808B (v409j2404) which is a 720p kernel. I've patched it to 1080p but I don't have a 1080p screen to test it.

You can find both the 1080p and the stock 720p kernel here:

thx BalintBanyasz for your latest rom. Connection with the original 808B is working.
Throwing youtube videos is working. 2 things i encountered, no fullscreen on LG 29" monitor and throwing videos via bubbleupnp does not work. Does matchstick run in 720p? I'll try another tv set. Bubbleupnp would have priority for me. But i think this might be a Bubbleupnp problem, except matchstick did not implement chromecast protocol correctly. Keep up the good work.

Fullscreen issue

Hey guys. I noticed something interesting regarding the fullscreen issue. I had flashed the images a few times already, but each time I ran the stick, the screen would only fill about 1/4 to 1/3 of the screen, anchored in the upper left. Today I flashed the image again and this time the screen was full 720p.

I've tried to figure out what I did differently. I think it has to do with the first boot and connecting to the display. Previously, after the flashing was complete, I would unplug the stick and take it over to my TV, then plug it back in. This time, I dragged the TV over and plugged in the stick without powering it off.

I know that the stick reboots after the flashing is completed, so maybe I had interrupted some first-boot setup process when I had pulled the plug the previous 3 times. I might test this a few times to see if it keeps happening.

tl;dr if you aren't getting fullscreen on your TV, try flashing again and don't disconnect the stick during the first boot until you've plugged it into your TV.

Let us know if that helps anyone.

*** Edit: tried this on an 808B and it didn't work; still getting the tiny image. Turns out the one that worked was just an 808, no B.

Also noticed that if you go into the app on your tablet/phone and adjust the image scale slider, you can make the image fill the screen for a split second before it snaps back to the small size. Weird.
