Blacklist of locked Down Version´s of RK3188 CPU

[tinyhands]

Or not so easy.... So far the only manufacturer that I know of that is not going to use the T model is Minix... are there others that you know of besides Minix.

Geekbuying is showing the Measy U4B as a non-T RK3188 and I chatted with an agent about this yesterday. I explained that the description on their site was not always correct and the descriptions of several other RK3188 devices had been updated recently to RK3188T. I explained that the only way to be sure was to open up the device and look at the chip. The agent assured me (although I am not actually assured, since the description also indicates an external antenna) that the description was correct and that they'd fix it if it was not.

There was a compile error in the files uploaded which means the override wouldn't have worked, I've fixed and re-uploaded. Apologies to the few who downloaded already.

Would this kernel work on any rk3188(t) devices? Always thought the kernel is device - specific...?

It's just for the more techie out there that want to test the DMESG detection / override functions.

The kernel itself is equivalent to the one in Bob's Kitkat Beta ROM 2.0, so MK908 etc compatible.

If you are already running KitKat then just flash this kernel on, read the DMESG, check the CPU range, report back on here and then, if this kernel doesn't match your kit, flash back to your 'normal' kitkat kernel.

This is for experiment only.

No, sources for jellybean T-kernel, you said?

JDfense --->I8160

[JDfense]

Orginal Model T design

BTW I found the original Model T built video tutorial.

Of course the original kernel is a bit faster than the one in the Rockship fake Model T.

Correct, the sources used by JB custom devs pre-date the T chip and so don't limit frequencies. The commercial companies have newer source that does limit

I just noticed that official Rikomagic web page (www.rikomagic.com) is constantly updating the specification of their devices. The last one is real curious:


Rockchip 3188 Quad core, 28nm, 1.4GHz , Up to 1.6GHz,Cortex-A9

Okay, tested the kernel with my mk908ii, 3188t.
In 1080p I get 17400 points in AnTuTu and the overall performance seems to be much smoother
Will also test 720p and wifi speed later.
Thanks for your work d33, really appreciate it

Norbert can you:

1. Within Antutu go to the Device Info page and check the CPU Speed to confirm increase to 1.6 GHz.
2. Open a terminal emulator and check that RK3188T is detected and output into DMESG

Yep, it shows rk3188t and cpu is on 1.6ghz (with original kernel it was on 1.2 if I remember correctly)
AnTuTu score on 720p is 18200

Do you think heat is a problem with this clock speeds? Don't have a custom heat sink and don't want to burn my device

Wooooo dude THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCH

1.6GHz and my dongle is cold after MKV movie HD 720p !!!!

I try the 1080p later but all seem to be good excepted I have to tweak my lost wifi connection at first boot(password).

Nice logo Android TV

I have CX-919 v2.0 device I will test later, hopefully it will work.

I think that has slightly different wifi. I can build a variant if you want?

Also I can build test builds at 1.7 and 1.8 GHz if there is interest?

[valzja]

I think nop.... I'm using neo 2.0 ROM who is basically designed for Mk device and everything works...

So I must flash kernel with Finless 2.0 rom right?
