Neomode Custom Rom MK809III Version 3.1 Android 4.4.2 *Update*

[ulises1954]

SD version runs smoother UI (menus, transitions).
HD version is ok but UI has several frame skipping... and it feels slower than SD.

Thanks wichoxp for yor reply!

I agree wichoxp, I alredy have tested both SD and HD versions and noticed the same, the HD feels slower thand the HD version...

One last question... Since Neomode mentioned that he modify or fix something in his originals OC Kelners ( to make it work OK with Kitkat), Do you have noticed any differences between this NEW d33 v4.0 Kernels and Neomode's ones?

I am asking because I was using the Neomode's OC Kernels at 1.7MHz and now with this New d33 v4.0 that apparently runs at 1.6MHz only, I have noticed more speed and the Android System feels faster...

I just finished trying the SD kernel with this rom. It works great on my RK3188T Mk809iii with two exceptions. My antutu score was 19500 and my 1080p videos played really smooth. I'm going to try the HD kernel now. The problems are the following:

1) Sound was incompatible with one of my screens. The ROM is to blame.
2) My micro usb otg port will no longer work for my keyboard. The kernel is to blame.

Both worked fine with the stock kernel of neomode 1.9a, but of course - the stick was slow at 1.4 ghz.

Hi PolloLoco,

I installed the Neomode3.1 ROM + 4.0 SD Kernel in my CX-919 v2.0 with FULL RK3188 Not "T", and my Micro-USB OTG port works flawlessly... Just to be sure I conected the Logitech K700 Universal USB Adapter to this OTG port (using an USB adapter to reduce the standard USB to Micro USB), and it work fast without any problem!

It do recognize it when I turn the stick on and select connect to PC option, and than PC see it as mass storage external disk. Also RKAndroidTool see it but than can't flash, I'm getting error: "msc can't do erase idb".

Please help

There's a button on the flash tool [Switch or Reboot] to access into flash mode.
The button on your stick is for Recovery mode, not Flash mode.

Yup... and I really don't care the "HD" stuff too much (maybe for monitors, not TVs) !

That's odd. I switched back to my stick with 1.9a and it worked perfectly. Must be some incompatibility with my keyboard and this kernel. Very odd.

My keyboard also works fine with neomode's stock 3.1. Just not when I switched the kernel.

On the speed note, I tried the HD kernel and wasn't too bothered by the UI speed. Antutu was surprisingly 18800. But videos that streamed smooth on the SD Kernel buffered a lot.

I have tryed switch button in tool, it just powers off the stick, but not booting it with black screen. TV says no HDMI signal and PC and tool doesn't see it!

hy, what kind of keyboard do you use?
i have a same problem: on d33 kernel, if i plug my microsoft nano receiver in my usb hub makes the system lagy for 5-6 sec than the system reboots, if i plug it alone (not in the hub) i don t have any problem, i think, it s not lagy but i have some random freezes and than reboot, but i dont know if is still a problem from the keyboard receiver.
same issue with the microsoft xbox 360 wireless receiver.
its 100% because of the d33 kernel
ps. i have a mk908ii

I actually use a Motorola Lapdock, which is a screen, keyboard and touchpad all in one. I got the keyboard and touchpad to work, by using a different cable. Before - I was using a basic micro usb cable to connect the dock - and it always worked until this kernel.

I just tried using a USB HOST micro usb to USB female cable instead, and it worked great! It's just funny that this kernel treats that port differently than neomode's stock 3.1 kernel. I have no problems with it - using a different cable is not an issue - and I'll take the much better speed for my RK3188T stick.

Right now - my only remaining complaint is that Neomode's 3.1 is incompatible for audio out to one of my screens (the lapdock). With my other 2 TV's, the stick works fine. I hope the audio drivers can go back to what was on 1.9A (best audio compatibility) - otherwise my main stick will stay on 1.9A.

The more I test it, using the 1080P kernel with this rom is pretty great on my TV. With a strong enough wifi signal - I was able to stream pretty high bitrate 1080P files smoothly. This is with a non-overclocked kernel.

One problem - I changed the build prop LCD density from 160 to 240, and all of a sudden my stick wouldn't boot. It flashed the Ugoos screen, then the Kit Kat 4.4 boot screen - then nothing but a blank screen. I'll reflash - but anyone know what I did wrong in changing the density? Did I miss a step?

Use denstiy changer from the playstore to change it.

App is a big red buttion with writing in it saying density changer and it works fine with kitkat.

Thanks! I'll reflash the stick tomorrow, try that app and report back.

No Prob i use it all the time saves the headache of messing with code.

using this rom on my MK802IV new wifi and everything works smooth!

does anybody know if sam's oc kernels are good for this rom also?
if yes, which one is recommanded? i got a small fan on it to keep it cool

btw any news about the Wifi Display app?

Try d33 kernels here. http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...8well-most!%29

The 4.0 ones for the ap6120 should do the job anf if the device doesn't like either gpu or ddr overclocking there is kernels just below them that don't overclock one or both.

They are CPU: 1.6 GHZ, GPU: 600 MHz, DDR: 720 MHz which is about as safe as you can do without extra cooling.

well thank you very much!
the regular kernels didn't work, only the no GPU kernel worked.
