Kitkat Kernels for All (well most!)

[d33]

every kernel past the beta ones i have tried results in 540p resolution on my tv and no sound, stick is a mk908ii, tried wasers kitkat rom for minix x7 which works ok with his kernel except for bluetooth and wifi, can set resolution and sound works ok, as soon as i switch kernels to D33 build im stuck in low resolution with no options to change to and no sound. tried on my pc monitor and all the resolutions show up and can set upto 1920x1080, cant test sound as monitor has no speakers, wasers kernel seems to handle hdmi better for my old lg tv(hd ready-720p)

Which wifi/BT? I'll make a further change for you regarding HDMI for you to test but I thought I'd fixed the no sound problem with SMICs change.

tried with rtl8723as no wifi but it boots fine.............thnx
seems there is rtl8723as rtl8723au and rtl8723bs just to make it interesting. I happen to need the rtl8723au version

Vec

I think I see the problem here. I'll have another try at building.

Please test this one:

4.2.4 HDMI force video mode; RTL8723AU support

[d33]

Please test this one:

4.2.4 MT5931/mt6622

Right click, save as .img guys (FYI - in case you are wondering why you get garbage on your browser when you only click on it) Thanks d33, testing when I get back from stealership getting oil change on my car.

What models use these newer wifi chips? Or is it just the 90,000 different variants of Cytech 809III ?

MT5931/MT6622
ESP8089
MK7601U/MT6622

Smilar to my problem. With this kernel the option to change the hdmi resolution is not present.

Which kernel??

It would be really helpful if when responding to this thread you state what you have tested and produce a DMESg with my kernel and a DMESG from stock. Without this I'm wasting my time.

Sorry!
I have already supplyed my dmesg at post #1375. You are a bit busy obviously so I didn't want to bother you with my problem but it is still exist of course.

Please provide DMESG from #1383 and #1384

I have time at the weekend but unfortunately no-one else does

Cest la vie

[edit] the DMESG in 1375 shows the code detected several valid HDMI setting. Odd

4.24 MT5931/TM6622 Results:

No Wifi

No Bluetooth

No 1080p even though it booted in the resolution 1920x1080,
it was not in the HDMI options to switch to it.

DMESG files:

ncr_mtk_.9.txt

ncr_3.1.txt

Thanks D33, wifi chip is AP6210 and the processor is a T chip, got some time off this week to have a play around and try and get a non beta kitkat working.

These DMESG files are both with my kernel. I need a stock one to compare.

The WiFi and BT drivers are loaded but it appears the GPIO settings are wrong or something. I nned a dump of GPIO and DMESG from a stock kernel to progress.

I note only 3 resolutions load 1366*768, 1280*720 and 720*480 - does that match your monitor's capabilities?

Previous MT kernel (4.23) had 1920x1080p-60 which is what I use and that's what probably everybody else would want, a 1080p version. Here is a 720p of NCR MTK 1 (BTW the previous DMESG were with NCR MTK 1 and not .9) with working wifi, bt, sound and you can switch to 1920x1080p-60

My kernel creates a desktop of 1920x1080 and then passes that to the HDMI controller. This then scales to the monitor resolution at a specific frame rate. Most people, but not all, want this size desktop but confuse HDMI resolution with desktop resolution.

The code I've used so far (up to 4.2.3) creates a set of CEA HDMI modes (TV standard) provided by of the device connected. It won't display CEA modes I've not coded for and it won't detect non-CEA modes even if I do code for them.

The latest code (4.2.4) introduces a patch to force DMT (PC Monitor) display resolutions to be detected (specifically 1366*768). So the desktop will still be 1920x1080 but the screen will scale to 1366x768 and use the appropriate refresh frequency. Standard CEA modes will not be detected, and hence, won't be displayed

My question to you is, since you are currently my only tester, what native resolutions does your connected monitor/tv have? Do they match the three the kernel presented (1366/1280/720)?

I think I want to combine CEA/DMT modes in one output.
