    NEW - MK908 Finless 1.8 ROM

    Should work now. My partner changed the settings for some reason. I wish I would have known as that might explain why we have not been getting reviews lately.

    Bob



    ROM is now re-uploaded WITH fixed parameter files!

    Bob

    ____________________________________________


    OK you all asked me nicely to make a ROM from the latest MK908 release that is suppose to fix screen flicker. So here you go!
    If you like it, feel free to donate. Donations seem to be few and far between lately
    Either way, ENJOY!






    __________________________________________________ _


    Features and release notes for my 1.8 ROM:

    1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2
    The stock Tronsmart ROM was rooted but NOT CORRECTLY! And was using an old version!

    2) Stock ROM was only 2 Gig of APP space.
    BUT you also have parameter file options!
    There are also 1gb, 2gb, 4gb and 6gb options.
    Read below for how to change that in the flash tool.
    Realize if you use this 6gb option, internal SDcard will only have about 600 megs of free space!

    3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.
    I also updated Google Play and required Google APPs to the latest version.
    You should not have to update anything as of this date. Nice and clean

    4) I dumped the crappy launcher and replaced it with the stock useful launcher.
    However, in /system/app is the original launcher named Launcer2.aps.
    Using a root explorer (don't forget to mount system as RW!) rename Launcher2.apk to
    Launcher2.apx. Then rename Launcher2.aps to Launcher 2.apk and reboot
    Now you have the stock launcher if you really want it.

    5) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!

    6) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
    I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
    Your device will show up in Google play as Samsung device not a MK908! Understand this please.
    I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
    If you want to go back, just use ES File Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
    Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
    Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
    Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a 908.
    WARNING if you do this, you need to be using the 1080 kernel or your screen will be oversized!

    7) I removed the pre-install crap and Flumpster's Beyond XBMC.
    Tronsmart ripped off Flumpster's work without asking for permission from him!
    If you want the latest Beyond XBMC then just download it from FreakTab.
    Oh and Thank Freaktab developer Flumpster for making it!

    9) VSYNC patched kernels! Yep the stock kernel in this ROM has micro frame skipping.
    Sometimes I just get Tronsmart! They fix it in some of their devices but not in others.
    Anyway, micro frame skipping is patched in all the supplied kernels in the ROM.

    10) Kernel choices:
    Yes I give you TRUE 1080P kernel! I patched the stock kernel myself!
    Kernels:
    kernel720.img
    kernel1080.img
    There are also matching boot.img's.
    The boot1080.img will give you large icons (like 720P) with a 1080P kernel.
    Note: DO NOT use boot1080.img with a 720 kernel or your screen will be all jacked up on boot!

    11) I also provide some overclocked kernels! See below.

    12) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).

    13) My usual patches and updates for performance.

    As always, read the readme.txt file for more information and instructions!

                Just installed using everything by default but with kernal kernel720_cpu1800h_gpu600_ddr667
                So far so good. I'll test some 720p video for micro skip frame.
                I don't see XBMC but I don't mind. I'll install it manually.

                Just quick question. Does this kernal use some kind of goverment or it's always on 1800MHz?

                  Bad idea, as I think. Not everyone knows where Beyond XBMC can be downloaded.

                        This is for MK908 only. Use MK908II thread for ROM for your device.

                          Just made few test with 720p videos and no skipping frames. ROM is booting very fast. Everything works great. Only problem I have (and it was present in stock ROM) is flickering during boot and in recovery. Once ROM starts to boot all is OK.

                          Overall, great ROM and it's must have for all MK908 users

                          Excellent job Bob

                            I will not propagate ripping off Flumpster's work like Tronsmart is doing! They did not ask for permission to put his beyond XBMC on the device and he has not given them permission!
                            2nd, I could add it as he would let me add it but not everyone wants or uses XBMC! Also he releases new version and fixes so why have it in a ROM only to have a old version installed? If you Google "beyond XBMC" it points here as the first thing! So it's easy to get the latest version.

                            Hmmm, I know what that is then. They must have used an older recovery with a older flickering kernel in it!
                            I could easily fix that by recompiling recovery without a kernel in it!

                            Would you like to try that and see if it solves the flicker in recovery? If so I can wipe that up to test. I don't have flicker issues on any of my TV's so cant test.
