Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Tronsmart R68 with 100M LAN

[Ad0]

Does this work 100% for beelink i68 100 mbit? Also Kodi 15.2 final is out, so I am hoping for a version of that
What are the Kodi changes? Can't they be submitted to the Kodi team as a pull request?

Anyone?

Hi Everyone - I'e been communicating with Tronsmart Support & per their request I've started a feature request forum post which they said that they will look at to see if they will add more native features. I'd like to see overclock the CPU to improve performance, better Wi-Fi performance with true Wireless AC support, & lastly Unified storage aka Emulated SD. I've also asked that they move directly to Marshmallow 6.0 rather than updating 5.1.1 going forward as it has many features like App Permissions natively . Please use the link below to provide your input and or vote for what you want!

You notice they didnt reply re marshmallow as it won't be on this device for 6 to 8 months if even possible from kernel issues same reason lollipop took 12 monyhs😆

If it wasn't for people like Wasser you wouldn't even have lollipop as manufactures have to wait for base release from chipset manufactures. That process is long and painful as most company's don't ask for help or provide feed back to Devs.

I sort of agree, but it's a two edged sword. You will have 3rd party developers updating noname android boxes, and it turns into those hit or miss science project boxes which work half of the time. If nobody else than the manufacturers themselves worked on them, they might have put in some effort, or they will have perished.

All these cheapo noname chinese boxes look great on the paper, but honestly, 3rd party software is like life support :P The manufacturers should get their shit together, and release firmware through OTA and not on that idiotic "Baidu" site which nobody outside China can access. First version of the original firmware is usually crap, and people have to go to specialized forums like this to get some kind of a response, and proper software, which STILL won't fix the most glaring problems like stuttering etc.

My advice: Save up some money and buy a box from a respectable brand.

All i can say to you is wowsers... maybe you could help everyone out by clicking on the link and providing constructive feedback to in Tronsmart's forum so that we can get better features and firmware on their next RK68 firmware release which by the way was 5.1.1 from day 1 of the box being released.

Does this firmware run on the 10/100 ethernet R68?

Thanks

Sorry for the dumb question, but can someone please highlight why the Wasser OS is superior to the latest stock version that comes out of the box fro Tronsmart? I am running the Tronsmart as is with very few issues.

Have a look at the first post where you can see the changelog of improvements made across each revision.

The ROM is not for Rikomagic devices.

The ROM is not for Rikomagic devices.

Hardware seems to be the same, no ?

[neomode]

Cpu yes but the rest is different. You can try my Rom.
Look for Neomode Source Rom MK902II.
It is Android 5.1.

Thanks Neomode,

what is different ! wifi but with other firmware it works properly (ENY/CR18S/ZIDOO/Z4) but not with TRONSMART/BEELINK.
Can you give me the link to your rom because the one i have seems to be for MK902II ?

Thank you.

Anyone else have major issues with stuttering in HD videos?
I'm thinking it may be down to AC3 or DTS possibly but I'm not sure.

I can play SD fine but HD is jerky as hell.

I've tried it through Plex, which normally transcodes fine over wifi from the server, and I've also tried it using MX Player.
Same result on both.
