and yes 4.2.2

Thanks
I will try with my GK525 RK3188-T 3210 device
Any chance to have the same for KitKat 4.4.2 ?

I run now Finless 1.6b CX 919 with SAM 1080p Kernel - CPU @ 1.8GHz, RAM @ 1.2GHz.
Antutu over 19000 and i can shutdown my Stick. Until Neo made his new Baby, i think this is the best ROM for me.

So I use the same firmware and karnel (thank for this masage) and now I have the same result on my MK809iii with RK31880-T
But you say in parallel tred that now you use neo1.7 with this OC kernel. Whay?

This is my upgrade
Heatsink and external wifi antenna

Yes Neo 1.7 is more stable and have a better UI with Softbutton.
Nice Mod, but better is when you cool the RAM too.

[SandroID]

Yes Neo 1.7 is more stable

So after 1.7 version SAM 1080p Kernel don't work for now, yes?
I tried to run SAM 1080p Kernel on NEO 1.9a, but device goes in bootloop... never boot

I used stock one, so it was 1.4GHz only but 1080p. I overclocked it with rkpatchomatic (phjanderson). Overclock to 1.6GHz is working, to 1.7GHz and upper not.

I am interested in results :-) I can upload original as well.

I have neomode 1.9a ROM on my cx-919, it works fine at 1.416 Ghz. I have just flashed your kernel over it. It works well but it still runs at 1.416 Ghz, no 1.6 Ghz with this kernel for me. I checked it with No-Frills CPU Control. Are you sure that your combination runs at 1.6 Ghz, not 1.416?

Is it easy to go back to stock with rkbatchtool or any other after this roms/kernels ? whats the process to go back ?

It depends on what you consider to be "easy" to do...
In practice, if you have the img file of your stock rom the procedure is quite similar to that you follow for flashing a custom rom. The only difference is that the stock firmware probably comes packed in a single img file and thus you can use RKBatchTool, which is even simpler to use than the usual RKAndroidTool for custom (unpacked) roms and kernels.
But the question is: do you have the stock rom img file with you?

So after 1.7 version SAM 1080p Kernel don't work for now, yes?

Dont read my Postings ? Sure it woks. The 1.7 is the last from Neo that supports OC Kernels.
The 1.9a and the 2.0 dont support OC Kernel´s.

I have a stick coming with a 3188T and I will be studying all this.
Up until now I had no way to see what everyone is talking about.

Thanks Pet2001. Yes many (all?) stock roms are available here http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/firmware-download/

Yes, definetely 1.6GHz. No Frill on overclocked stock kernel shows 3 frequencies 1.2, 1.4 a 1.6. If I set performance governor or fixed 1.6GHz it is real 1.6GHz. Antutu 1080p go up to 18400. 1.4Gzh is around 16400.
Not overclocked kernel has many frequencies from 312Mhz up to 1.4ghz.

It looks as either my mk902 is not T version (i think it is) or different 3188t are locked to different max frequencies. My max is 1.6ghz.
I think that i have T version because of the frequency locks: cpu 1.6, gpu 667, ddr 667. If I go up with any frequency over this limit, it simly doesnt work.
For me the most important is that blinking is solved on any monitor with this kernel. Overclocking later.
One day hopefully we would have both, overclocked kernel to > 1.6ghz and no blinking.

Tobr, thank you for the detailed description. So you have Neo 1.9a ROM, same as me, right? For me, no Frills shows only 2 frequences with your kernel - 1.2 and 1.416. Now I'm wondering why No-Frills doesn't show me the 1.6Ghz frequency on my cx-919 if we have the same ROM and same kernel. Any ideas?

The only explanation is frequency max lock. Some negotiation between demanded max frequencies and max limit in cpu. What bother me is that if I try 1.7ghz variant of the same kernel, or use 720mhz memory or 800mhz gpu, my device doesnt boot at all. You are in the same situation one level lower. So 1.6ghz kernel on your 1.4ghz cpu shouldnt boot at all as 1.7 or 2.8ghz kernel on my 1.6ghz. So i gave up :-)

Actually, with many other roms, my cx-919 can run at 1.6 or 1.8Ghz, it boots okay and No-Frills correctly shows 1.6 or 1.8Ghz but the screen flashes every few seconds and flickers. I observed this behavior when I tried Neo 1.7, Finless 1.6b and many other ROMs with various kernels. So I think techically the cpu is not capped at 1.416Ghz, it just cannot work without problems at 1.6 or higher frequences. Neo 1.9a rom is different in that No-Frills even doesn't allow me to choose the cpu frequency 1.6Ghz or higher, the highest it shows me is always 1.416Ghz no matter what kernel I'm flashing with this Neo 1.9a rom.
By now I tried dozens of ROMs and kernels and I cannot yet find any combination which would work without screen blinking and flickering at 1.6Ghz or higher on my cx-919, almost gave up too ..
