Thank you! :-)
Back to sound, is it only optical or also HDMI passthrough?

Thank you! :-)

Both but hdmi passthrough has some sound drops sometimes ( reported to me twice )
( HDMI passtrough sound drops seems to be acceptable from what my test team reports, it is just occasional 0.5-1 sec sound loss once in a while )

Thanks for your fast reply.. Will try this rom this evening and report back..
HDMI passthrough, is it something you do work with? :-)

For what I have heard hdmi pasthrough sound drops is rockchip related !spdif pasthrough sound is good!

No i test on a simple setup here.. then pass it through for testing by some good friends that report back to me... i dont have time to watch movies
And my wife uses a crappy mk888 so i dont steal it every day for some tests

True.. in 008 i have tested it and it seemed to be kernel related.. on this one i have not done tests myself yet.

Next update ( todo list )
- Mele f10 powerbutton fix
- adding 1080p@24
- adding init.d support
- make a rooting procedure and add it to the topic. (rooting over adb for windows)
- seporate tryout rom for Melef10 pro users ( thanks DeliriumNL for the file )

Any suggestions are welcome
....probably cooking it at the end of this week

[rkoenis]

Yes looking forward to it!!! Im already very happy with your latest rom and the mele f10 support!

One more thing , can you make the powerled more brighter?

Talking about this from init.rc or something more?

insmod /system/lib/modules/mali.ko mali_dvfs=50,100,133,266,300,400,600 mali_init_clock=50

I have never understood the meaning of these additional parameters. GPU speed settings in kernel override the values and the system works perfectly well with the parameters removed completely.

The GPU speeds available in the kernel config are: 133,200,266,300,400,600,798. In my kernel builds I usually limit the GPU speed to 400/600 in moderately oc'd kernels and 600/798 in heavily oc'd ones.

Just use some of the OC kernels from other Roms.

In my tests i could not find the difference in benchmarks but the performance of playback is noticable.
Make 2 identical roms with just that change ..send them for testing and ask wich runs better....
I keep my gpu in kernel at 600 and never go over it as i did not see any worthy performance gain.
Thing is we allways look at the user experiance.. not some numbers from a benchmark app.. i know thay are not allways correct.

Not asking you to test it with me, just asking if you wanna do more work in the passthrough, or does it stay as it is? ( sound drops)

Besides that, your rom is crispy! :-D

There will be work on it .. it seems it is either a kernel or hardware isue.
If it is a kernel isue it can be fixed.
Tests revieled that raising cpu speeds reduced the sound drops, so i suspect it has to do with shared hardware recources.(or the kernel that gets in conflict.. wich should be able to be fixed)
To be honest i am not a kernel expert and still learning a lot.. so there is no promice it will be fixed.
The isue is in all minix based roms as far as i know.
What we do now is make test setups and send them for testing and compare the results to get to the source of the problem.

If someone has some further insight in this issue or a rom that does not have this isue please let me know. ( roms with hdmi and spdiff passthrough )

Glad you like the rom

[rkoenis]

My experience with soundrops is with all original minix firmware hdmi pasthrough or standard I have the soundrops , only with spdif sound is good!

I shall test yours tomorrow

Standby/switch off video occurs unexpectedly

Ok Guys.. here we go
This is my first firmware om Freaktab !!
....

Really nice rom! smooth 1080p, mele f10 support and audio pass-through ok.

Does anyone knows why the box goes to standby/switch off video occasionally? this happens in all roms I've tested (006c,007,008). If XBMC is on focus when this happens, I need not only to pulse the power button but also the home button to get the screen again. Any clue?
