kitkat old mk802iv

Thanks in advance since I'm taking advantage of this great ROM and also putting out the word of how great its working. Just wondering if you could throw in the kernel for the mk802iv so we could also have BT

[wasser]

I'm using a TP-link TL-WR541G. It's an older router, but it works well. I went into its settings for WAN and the only setting for MTU is to change the size. I have it set on the default of 1500

I tested the Minix with wifi and Bluetooth disabled. Same thing.

I have a K-R42 with the same KitKat 4.4.2 kernel and firmware installed and I see the same Ethernet behaviour.

It would be very interesting if you do NOT see this behaviour. It is super easy to test...

1) Just boot the Minix up without the Ethernet cable connected

2) go into Android settings for ethernet and watch the status.

3) plug in the Ethernet cable

Did the Minix "connect" or does it still say "unconnected"?

I have to physically remove the cable and plug back in, or toggle the check box to make the Minix "connect"

If no one else sees this, then it must be me.

yes, i can reproduce this issue too. it's a bug in kikat. add it on my todo list

thanks for feedback!

[wasser]

I think I just found a strange bug. Whenever you apply a Static IP address to the Ethernet interface (I didn't try with WiFi) you will end up with a bootloop on the next reboot. I will try to do some more test tomorrow.

i will check it today if i can reproduce it too.

thanks

Following this comment I flashed the spdif kernal today
but I do not get any sound coming through on spdif or hdmi

No Sound options for selecting output either......

Has anyone used this kernal successfully?

the sound device manager is missing in kikat rom, so if you want to switch sound device you have to install soundabout as workaround.

i'm working on sound device manager for kikat atm. The gui part works fine now but somehow the backend still has problem by switching sound device.

i don't have the mk802iv hardware, so it's hard to add support for this device.

[doirizarry]

That's OK I'll continue to play without BT the main use for it is the beyond xbmc and that's working like a charm

This is a great news!
If you need testing I'm here

Need some help and input with some issues please!

So I flashed this with the 720p kernel it comes with and the 720p kernel that has BT, IR remote, and everything working and I get similar and different issues. I believe it has to do either with my Tronsmart air mouse, my usb wireless mouse, or my box/tv doesn't like the 720p kernels. Here is what is happening. With the stock 720p kernel with Tronsmart remote or mouse, it boots but as soon as I move the curser the screen blinks and four inches of the right side of the screen disappear, keeping me from choosing my language. With the New 720p kernel, with the remote plugged in, it will boot, but have systemui fc's nonstop. If I boot it up with the new 720p kernel and no remote or mouse hooked up, systemui will not fc until I pluh the USB receiver for the remote or mouse in. I've read through all the posts, and my guess is to try the 1080p kernel with working BT, WIFI, and stock remote. Does anyone have some ideas or also had these problems and found a fix? Unfortunately my son misplaced the Minix box, so until I find it, I'm w/o the stock remote :/ Sorry this is so long, but I'm hoping someone has some ideas, because I really want to run this! BTW I flashed Quickshot V2 and it's working with my air mouse, usb mouse, and whatever it's stock kernel is.

I have updated to the OC Kernel and all Res is working fine here, no lines or hdmi problems etc.

Which OC kernel are you using? which worked for you?
I started having this problem too. It disappears when I switch to 24Hz 1080p

Sound

the sound device manager is missing in kikat rom, so if you want to switch sound device you have to install soundabout as workaround.

Thanks for that update
Also standing by to test new iterations of the ROM
particularly on the sound side
Other parts are pretty stable
THANKS

FYI, immerse me exposed module breaks openvpn support
In a few openvpn apps I use. I posted another way to hide the navbar via a build.prop edit, anyone know how to do the same with the status bar? How to remove permanently?

Ethernet connecting to network

I purchased another Minix X7 from Minix. Before flashing it to KitKat, I wanted to see if the stock Minix 007c firmware had that ethernet issue of not connecting if the Minix was allowed to power up first before the Network was available.

The stock firmware behaves correctly. If you plug in the ethernet cable AFTER the Minix powers up, the Minix will detect it and connect.

After flashing to KitKat, I ran the test again. If you plug in the ethernet cable AFTER the Minix powers up, the Minix will NOT detect it and will not connect. If you remove the ethernet plug for a second and plug back in, it will "Connect". Also, if you toggle the check box in settings, it will "connect".

I know this is a minor issue. I just wanted to document it. This is great Firmware for the Minix for anyone who wants to use their device with KitKat.

EDIT: Hi Wasser, I just noticed on the previous page that you were able to reproduce the ethernet issue. That's great news. I don't know how I missed it. I read this forum everyday. Sorry for posting the bug again after the fact.

I'm really loving the "cpu1704h gpu600h ddr720 1080P" that you posted on 2/5/2014

I managed to run this rom on my CS968 box, using the built-in kernel-ut1.img.
But wifi is not working! Any chance to make this kernel to support AP6210 chips?
Thanks

[astral69]

Come on

Any chance to make this kernel to support AP6210 chips?
Thanks

Please read the name of this thread

• KitKat-4.4.2 for Minix X7

Perhaps once that objective is reached it can
be extended to other chip sets.

Give these great guys a break

Or better still, start your own thread.
