AW: Tronsmart MK908 Android 4.2.2 "Official" - Finless ROM 1.5

Hi Bob

I am new to these forums and to the world of Androids. Does the Finless 1.5/a ROM have the option to set the player display permanently in Portrait or Landscape mode. I am using a Tronsmart MK908ii player with a standard ROM

Many thanks
Alan

First of all this is not for mk908II, but for mk908, so flashing this rom would lead to non working wifi at best, if it even boots.

OK folks... The "official ROM came out last night. So basically I did what I did to the BETA ROM.

Netflix WORKS! Also the kernel #21 in this is far more stable in my opinion.

So once again here is my ROM based on the Official 4.2.2 Tronsmart MK908 ROM.

Note: only difference is by POPULAR DEMAND, I change the size of the mouse pointer.

I am calling this a Finless 1.5 ROM to make sure there is no confusion with the BETA.

Enjoy,
Bob

Features and release notes for my MK908 4.2.2 1.5 ROM:

Features and release notes for my 1.5 ROM:

1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2

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 to the latest version along with standard APPs.

4) 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!

5) I re-enabled location services. This is now in the settings menu.
Tested and working with all APPs that use it.
Remember to turn off GPS as we have no GPS.

6) I also re-enabled accessibility options in settings.

7) Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
Many of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
Special thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.

8) 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.
Yuor device will show up in google play as Samsung device nopt a MK908 or RKSDK! 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 MK908.

9) RK Mirroring is enabled as always.
Also new to Android 4.2.2 is Wifi display.
If you have another 4.2.2 phone or tablet you can share your devices screen on your TV.

10) Remote Control using RK Remote APP is now fully supported!
In the ROM kit is a RKRemoteControl.apk.
NOTE: This is a NEW version and will not cause your TV stick to crash.
So if you have already installed RKRemote before you need to un-install it and re-install this version!!!!
You install this on your phone or tablet and now it can remotely control your TV player!
Just put the APK on sdcard or something and install it on your Android phone, tablet, etc.
ENJOY this one! I had a HARD TIME getting it to work!

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

12) I have adjusted the mouse pointer size by request!
Stock rom was 55x55. The normal mouse pointer is 22x28 which is too small for many.
I made a 35x35 mouse pointer.
If you want to change that more discuss online and I will tell you how to do it.

13) 1080P Kernel if you want it! Tronsmart also released a 1080 kernel.
I have unpacked it from boot and made it a choice in this ROM package.
See instructions IN THE README for how to choose the correct boot.img and kernel.img
720P boot and kernel is the default setup in my flash tool.

For more information ALWAYS read the README in the ROM kit!

mk908 v3 ? what rom work?

any can solve this problem? .....have same problem ...


But now all i see after powering the device is the "Google TV"-logo and when it is time for a boot-animation, or something like it, the device shuts itself down and boots again to the GTV-logo . I've tried it several times, but with no luck (even on different PCs, both WIN7-64). Even trying to flash to stock, or Finless1.4 wont work anymore. When flashing to the official Tronsmart Update, the logo changes to Tronsmart, instead of GoogleTv, but the same rebooting keeps happaning. Please, if you are able to, would you please try to help me?
Thank You
Beenii

Looks like I have a V3 as well. Great info on this forum and thanks for all your hard work and dedication for the Finless rom. I hope you will be able to create one that works with all the same features as I love your work. IN the meantime, can anyone point me to a V3 Rom that is rooted and is stable, good for tweaking cpu speeds and so on? Nice to be here and thanks everyone for your input.

Most instabilities we see are caused by kernel which can not be modified due to missing sources afaik... all current v3 compatible roms feature the stock kernel...

I have flashed the Rom probably 5 times now and everytime I plug it into the TV it just gets stuck flashing the google tv boot screen on and off.
I've tried unplugging and plugging back in and still the same.
I notice one other user (pitha) on the forum had the same issue, and got no response

any help would be great thanks

I have had the same issue.
The solution for me was to use another power supply then the TV usb

I have a usb to rj45 with a ASIX AX88178 Controller and Realtek RTL8211CL PHY. I cant get it to work on any rom for the mk908. I have it working on a transformer tf201 with cynagon mod and stock rom. Is there any way to get support for this or should i just look for a new rj45 to usb?
