tonight i have tryed all firmwares

stock -> slow and stutter
Lewy-> 1.2.0, 3.4 beta - only boot animation and reboot (tested 20min)
wasser -> 0.9X only boot animation -> repatch own kern - Blackscreen
wasser ->1.2.4 no boot
wasser ->1.2.5. boot perfect, nice firmware but no wifi and lan
wasser ->1.2.5+own kernel - all works perfectly

i have patched my kernel with patchomatic but i think its not work

can please everyone patch the kernel from the dropbox file, vsync (and overclock and 1080p?)

this is the only combination for a stutterfree playback - today


1.0.3 i see
upgrading app 1 of 4 -> 4 - 4 -> start Reboot -> a few seconds the homescreen pulsate and reboot loop

1.0.3 old rev
boot perfectly xmbc run and all what inside, but no wifi and lan
but i have no way to fix it with alternativ or orginal kernel - then it show the dead android robot or a hat - with option reboot system wipe data/factory reset ect.

Hi GabberG. Can you confirm that the two images above are stock ROM and not rooted?

[GabberG]

Yes confirm :-) my Upload - and its not rooted

[medmed]

I'm a noob. I rooter succeeds in the box but how to install CWM? And reboot the CWM how do you?

[Wildwind]

Yes confirm :-) my Upload - and its not rooted

Thanks, let's hope that someone like Tech1 would patch the ROM for this new CYX_CS918 v2.1 board

Hello there,

I have an CS918 device with the same board version, but my kernel version is little bit newer than on screenshot in post #6.
My kernel version is 3.0.36+ arron@develop-server#187 Fri May 9 10:10:32 CST 2014.



Here is link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a16xt3t9tkup1lq/kernel.img

Stock firmware versions date is 13/05/2014.
Anyway there problems with vsync and 1080p are present too.

[GabberG]

I have made vsync Patch - but the Problem is Not fixed.

xbmc Show me only 1008mhz is it normal?


my premium streams all on 1080 and 24fps, i think this is the Reason for stutter an framedrops.

okay we Need someone to make a 1080p Kernel with 24hz

but its ist not so easy :-( i asked water, but he Need the Hardware to Check

[GabberG]

How can i enable 1080p 24hz in the Kernel.img?

Where or who can we request for that?

ich have read too much Last Time .

sorry, I do not speak English. Translated with google.

I managed to install CWM 6.0.3.1 by OMA

Here are the steps I followed .....

1 - install the drivers via RK assistant driver
2 - Put the box in debug mode and check USB to PC
3 - On the PC, execute "RK3188 SImple Root-Unroot Tool by Virusplus". rooter for the tablet.
I tried "TPSarky" but not or works just random due usb mode the box (Multimedia and no storage)

Once the box is Roote, it must be compatible CWM that is the most complicated. RK3188 Généric CWM will not boot. I used Artools 0.76. Apk. Again the generic CWM 6.0.3.1 will not boot, take CWM OMA / CrewRktablets.

Hi GabberG!
Your post is really interesting.
I have the same board as you do and almost the same unit as VORT3X.
My kernel version is 3.0.36+ but #186

I can not understand the improvements you have achieved with your unit.
If the only problem is 1080p or it still freezes during xbmc playback.
I have not rooted yet my unit, so I can save the stock firmware.
I am a rookie in android TV boxes so I am reading many sources before touching it.

[GabberG]

The only problem ist Not smooth Playback from 720p and 1080p it have microstutter in moves. Its 24 Frames per seconds. The box and xmbc make 50hz. And i See the framedrops (i think) the Rest Works Fine and perfectly)

[aalyasseri]

Hi, also got the same box and rooted with neox7_root_kit.zip downloaded from the forum, want to backup the box first before do any think but i do have the same playback problem that looking for fix.

To GabberG
I have such version 2.1, give please patched kernel? and what version was used by wasser 1.2.5 new or old?

[GabberG]

1.2.5 Works without wifi and LAN. I you repatch the own Kernel, Makes the Playback Not better.
I will Testing on Weekend. Gives an toturial how we can Patch the Kernel to real 1080p and 24hz?
