Have you switch "On" the development? It's in upper right corner after you choose Development in setting menu.

Screen Scale for CRT Monitor (Old TV)

@kodorevi8ulis;

Good news, to make it permanent you should change your box output resolution to match or near as your TV resolution

Here's how I do it, : You need to root your box, install Terminal Emulator and input this command (thanks to Tech1)

su then press enter
wm size 800x480 then press enter
wm density 120 then press enter

Reboot your device. You can change the value to match your TV screen. Remember DIWYOR..,
If you change output to hdmi, make sure to reset your output resolution by changing the value to reset.

Cheers..

There is the millions dollar question for me . . ., have no idea . . , or maybe, youtube have super 4k movies codec..,

Well I try play it with MX Player with SW codec it run but is laggy . . . ,

I was wondering about this. The way it probably works is, youtube app asking google servers (via API's) to stream already decoded 4K vdeos, so all it has to do is play it. MX player (and XBMC as well) on the other hand, has to use CPU power to decode the 4K videos, a CPU/GPU intensive job and would work better with oc'ed CPU/GPU/RAM.

Thanks for the info. Can you add more details about this board, like date manufactured and it's initial/ out-off-the box firmware,?

Question About Android and Apps (cs968)

Hi,
i am sure this doesn't has to do anything with the ROM and cs968 but i thought that I would ask this to this thread because you all seems so good at working with this box and android.
I Have two questions:
1. Why does android install all applications on internal memory? I have only 1gb memory internal and 6 gb SD Nand, soon filled upp internal but NAnd is nearly empty, and most of the apps dont allow to move to SD. Is there any solution on this?
2. Can you use an external Usb harddrive to have movies on and then use apps to play these files? Xbmc etc..?

hope you dont think its to funny questions for you, but I am new to this and I Love It :-)

Here is the best pic I could take of the the PCB.

It clearly says:

HTC-T018-V5
20140214

You cant see it there but I checked and they are definitely MTK chips. The standard ones everyones been been getting (i forgot the numbers).

@pejochto,
There's new kitkat 4.4 ROM for MTK 20140424 link in 1st post, I've note all the changes from previous 20140419 I can find one of them is that revert back storage capacity to insternal (system) to 2GB and Sd Card (Nand Flash) to 4GB. as per your question
#1, I haven't the exact answer, IMHO, like any other system platform, the default command when their turn on, is to identify hardware In/Out and searching for driver all of that is in file system, so to speed up the access (boot time) they use dedicated partition in internal memory. Some apps need it's file system in internal as for per performance setting. You can change the SD card (Nand Flash) to Ext SD card as default nand flash, you can check here, DWYOR.
#2, Yes you can, just format your usb drive to FAT32, I'm using it too.

@servo386,
Thanks.

I don´t really understand the explanation "revert back storage capacity to internal system" ?
I haven´t installed the new ROM because I think the 20140419 works great and it´s always a lot of restore procedures when you flash a new ROM.
Do you recommend to upgrade to 20140424 ?
Thank´s for your answers.

Hahaha.., sorry for my bad english, I mean, in new ROM (20140424) system capacity is back to 2GB (instead of 1GB in 20140419) and internal sdcard become 4GB (instead of 5,6 GB in 20140419).
Yes, I recommend to upgrade, as far as I can use, it's almost the same as 20140419. But, both KITKAT has high compatibility with XBMC, IMHO.
