KitKat Kernels(Build on Request)


Since most developers decided to drop support for RK3066/RK3188 devices, I will create kernels on request for people that want some.

Please me give your
1. Device name
2. Wifi chip / RTL8188,AP6220,MT5931,ESP8089,RTL8723,RK903,MT7601 etc
3. TV Stick or TV Box
4. Platform RK3066/RK3188
5. SD or HD Kernel
6. PMU ,ethernet, usb devices(gamepad,audio,camera etc) included
7. Any other settings.
8. Dmesg
9. Wifi GPIO Pin numbers


How to get GPIO Wifi Pin
1. Must be rooted
2. Busybox installed.
3. Run prepare.sh
4. Run gpio_dump.sh
Gets saved in sdcard.
Make 4 files and rename them w1b1.txt, meaning w1 = wifi on, b0 = bluetooth off.
5. Run gpio-find.py or agpio.py to get another file with wifi pin.
6. Make sure python from playstore is installed.
Use http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ to download apps from playstore to pc to Install with flash drive.

Please test these kernels, don't know if they will boot.

The other thread is closed, since I can't change the posts anymore.

Anyone that could compile MT5931 wifi correctly, please help.
Any interests for RTL8189eu/es kernels?
Also have a fix for RTL8201F external clock ethernet, if interested.

Hi,
please can you make a "MK809III_RTL8188_ Stick_HD" version
PS: your SD version works perfectly

Hi

I would like to have kernel for jb 4.2.2

- Device name: X5ii or jesurun mx
- wifi/bt: AP6210 wifi / bluetooth module
- TV Box
- Platform RK3188
- 720p kernel
- ethernet, usb devices, sound input device is RK_RK616 according sound settings, root, no overclocks, videofix.

I hope i managed to get dmesg and gpio data right.

thanks

I am trying the 8723bs_Stick_HD but never get past the 4 penguins... maybe i need the SD version? No idea.

*edit* I have tried the kernel with numerous different ROM builds and not once did I get past the penguins.

Tried to compile JB & KitKat with RK616 HDMI, ends with errors.
If someone has different kernel sources with working RK616, please share.

Compiled RTL8723 kernels with a different source, will use a different kernel and upload tomorrow, might work then.

Tried the ap6210 kernel on my mk908II stick running kitkat got the four penguins but thats as far as it would go........

You're the hero of the day !!!
it boots, wifi is working, bluetooth not

Sorry about bluetooth.
What bluetooth are you using?
Will see if there isn't a setting I can change.

Getting Bluetooth working is very hard, since you need the GPIO pins and some bluetooth drivers are build into roms and don't work on other roms.

[mo123]

I uploaded some new kernels.
Please test

Will also make Stick versions of the Box versions and vice versa, if needed

Anyone not getting any sound, I can also make kernels with the sound fix.

I have tried the 8723BS SDIO_RK3188_HD_Box on my 809iii and was able to get to the OS this time but I was still not able to get the wifi to work. It will go as far as to let me flick the switch to turn it on but it never connects. Do you suggest a ROM to use the kernel with? I am using so many different ones I am not sure what ones are best? I am using Neomodes kitkat builds with your kernel and others, but is there one that you think would be best? Thanks

Now in the previous thread I posted
1. Device name - MK 809III
2. Wifi chip - RTL8723
3. TV Stick
4. Platform - RK3188T
5. SD or HD Kernel - Either

I tried the stick kernel the other day you posted and got no boot. Now it is a box version I am testing, but that should not make a difference right since it is just the wifi... right? I hope...

[bigiuly]

how can i find the bluetooth chip?

[mo123]

how can i find the bluetooth chip?

Open the device, look with a magnifying glass or
Dmesg - Terminal emulater, su then dmesg, must be root with su apk installed.
Think it might be MT6622.
Also need GPIO pins for bluetooth.

Have you tried Raxda Rock firmware, it is RTL8723bs.
http://dl.radxa.com/rock/images/andr...628_update.zip or JB

There are 3 different versions of RTL8723, which makes it very difficult. RTL8723au RK3188 rom was also released by Rockchip, downloads very slow, will upload it if it will help.
