I'va already found a best solution to get more (unlimited) space for our boxes (especially for big games like Bully, GTA games).

Note: Root and fast flash drive / sd card with unique label is needed.

1. Install Xposed framework from: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.ro...osed.installer
2. Install XInternalSD module from: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd
3. Open Xposed and install framework (no need to restart right now).
4. Go to modules, activate XInternalSD by click in radio button
5. Click on module name and configure it (activate and edit path to extrenal SD Card or USB flash, add all apps or configure own app list for use external device).
6. Move data / obb / emu config folders to Your new path.
7. Restart device.

I've using 64GB 3.0 USB Flash Drive and games working faster than from internal storage because of not one but two drives.

I found the solution year ago using Foldermount only. I've also successfully connected to a cheap wireless gamepad together with Tincore to play many big games on TV. And I also connected it to an amplifier and loud speakers to enjoy online musics. And I also connected it to a keyboard and mouse to turn the box to a pc. This ROM turns my box to a multifunctional device. Great! But any update to Android 5?

USB Bluetooth Dongle support

Hi all,

I was working on adding USB Blueooth dongle support to the K-R42 device.
It seems that I succeeded (at least it works for me) and want to share the solution. Please see attached file. The instructions are included in the Readme.txt file.

Which of these firmware works on this board Q7?

[bopbun123]

This rom is good enough. But I'm looking for a better one. Anyone ever tried this http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/downl...-tv-boxes.html which is newer. The rom is here https://mega.nz/#!NgBEmRyb!8KXHbMEI8...eJFKz0A0wi3OQs I think it's smoother but I have never tried oc the kernel.

You should try. Backup your current firmware. Try the latest wasser one. You have 70 percent of success. In my opinion, wasser firmware is worthy for a try. If failed, get back to your current firmware.

[bopbun123]

K-r42 is rather old for current 3D games due to hardware performance. But it's still good to keep now to save money for a much better one. With wasser firmware, I still can enjoy lots of functions, like kodi movie, action heavy games (with wireless gamepad). Many good games still run smoothly on k-r42 like dead effect 2, asphalt 8, Modern combat etc. If you find some games laggy, use gltools xda version for free.

Why do you have to do that? Or you've lost the original wire included in the box?

[pavlik]

With long cables (3m+ for projector) there was a drop of quality with AV. I sold this box and bought a great X92 (3/32) for almost 1:1 of price: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...l-wifi-gig-lan
