NEW!! pureXbmc V2.1 - New firmware now for CX-919!

[toor]

Hi walter77,

Thanks for your work! I just flashed with

pureXbmc V2.1 CX-919 1080p JB 4.2.2 Rom
(Download link does not contain any kernel, please download kernel separately from links below)

Kernel V7 for CX919:

kernel_cx919_1080p_v7_walter77_cpu1608_ddr696_gpu6 00h_vsync.zip

but I have choppy 1080p video in XBMC. I tried both PureXBMC supplied with the ROM and fresh 13.2 from the site. Looking into logs I see that it uses proper stf-h264 codec and I wonder why video playback is not smooth. Do you have any ideas what I can do wrong?

[omniwolf]

Sure! But as I told, it's just pure Radxa compiled with Marvin. The config was the following:

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]./marvin config cx919 1080p cpu1608h ddr600 gpu600h[/FONT][/COLOR]

As I'm focused in making my Mele F10 Pro work properly (I'm interested in a working hidraw), for now, not any other patch was applied.

My device is a MK809IV chinese ripoff, MK3188T and AP6210 WiFi. CX919/compatible firmwares works fine and your kernel was the best I've tested so far with it.

With the attached kernel, hidraw mapped my Mele F10 Pro to /dev/hidraw0. (may be different for other setups, check using dmesg). There you can scan every key press, including call, hang up, mute, smart assistant, mouse mode on/off, remote control mode on/off.

As I couldn't yet manage to map these keys using HID Profiles in keylayout (e.g., key usage 0x0c0001 KEYCODE_ENDCALL), as a workaround I've mapped these keys using a shell script. I'm planning to try to code a hidraw wrapper and send signal to keypress event, but it's just a plan for now.

The (quick n' dirty) shell script workaround is the following:

#!/system/bin/sh
while true; do
    keycode=$(hexdump -ve '1/1 "%.2x"' -n 6 '/dev/hidraw0')
    case "$keycode" in
        024903020000)
            # call -> play/pause
            input keyevent 85;
            ;;
         
        024a03020000)
            # hangup -> stop
            input keyevent 86
            ;;
         
        024803020000)
            # audio switch -> sound devices manager
            am start -n com.android.settings/.SoundDevicesManager
            ;;


        024703020000)
            # remote mode
            # not mapped for any function yet -> suggestions?
            ;;


        024b03020000)
            # smart assistant -> open web browser
            am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW 'http://www.google.com'
            ;;


        024603020000)
            # mouse mode
            # not mapped for any function yet -> suggestions?
            ;;
    esac
done &

As I did it quickly, just to test (e.g., hidraw device is hardcoded, not soft detected), so it's far from any final version.
If the script works for you, you can save it to /etc/init.d/98mele and make it start at every boot.

Kernel and config generated by marvin follows attached.

With kind regards

I would really appreciate having a good kernel for this rom, I also happen to have a 3188T chip in my cx919.

Is the rom only for the CX-919 or can i use it for the CX-919 II?

I need to play Full HD Videos with 15 - 20 video mbits. Can i use the stick for it?

Hello Walter,

The famous Flickering screen problem is solved, was not Rom related.
It was caused by a defective Usb / Power Cable.

How to choose the 7 files for flashing this rom

Hi guys, i just got a CX-919, i used to have a rikomagic mk802III wich i used a couple of diffrent roms on, but i am having trouble installing this one on my new Cx.... can some one explain the flashing process with the rkbatchtool v. 1.37? and wich of the files in the downloaded folder corresponds to the files the tool requests ? coz as far as i can tell it wants the loader file twice... and that confuses me a bit...

Thanks

[walter77]

CEC support

@walter77

I bought what I thought was a CX-919 (looks like it), however after installing this ROM the wifi stopped working. I later noticed that the original ROM was this one:
T010_8723bs_4.4_1080p_20140918.img
(this link: http://chinagadgetreviews.blogspot.p...rmware_13.html
or this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/lv.../MK809IV-2.rar)
and I presume I have 8723 wifi chip.

I would like to know if:
- is there any way to adapt your ROM to support this wifi chip?
- is there any way to patch my ROM kernel so that it supports CEC?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, can't help you with that. Try to find a good working Kernel and install it on top of pureX KitKat v1.1 rom.

I had the idea from your first post that the CEC support was in the kernel!

So you're saying that I should install pureX_KitKat_V1-1_cx921a, and on top of it I should install only a new working kernel that supports the wifi 8723bs (like http://www.freak-tab.de/d33/kernel_K...TL8723BS.zip)?

Seams easy enough! I will try it tomorrow!
(if you could just confirm your confidence degree on this procedure, I would appreciate)

Yes, that's the quite easy way i would recommend. Please report back.

Worked flawlessly! I used the kernel for HD stick, and had no problem with WIFI, however, apparently there is no CEC support. Should it work?

I don't think it will work even it's activated in kernel.
I never tried it or searched for it.

OK, thanks. I thought it would work only because of your mention in this thread: "Kernel has HDMI-CEC support".
Thanks anyway.

tested the rom today working fine but bluetooth devices not working. After pairing my bluetooth mouse and keyboard they simply dont work. Both were working flawlessly with stock rom.

so now i have no other input than usb mouse. any suggestions on what could fix this?

I have one of these - http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Trons...ck-316975.html ...................... I am not having much luck here. I tried your other KitKat one (http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...921-and-CX-919)................... and couldn't get wifi at all ..... LAN is available but I only use wifi. So I came over and tried this one. The main issue is 1- I start SPMC and it crashes and reboots my stick within roughly 15 seconds .... happens everytime. 2- Skype almost works but again crashed and reboots the stick ..... I had given up on the stick ages ago and it was just hanging in the back of my smart tv but came in for a wee look here and got excited thinking I might actually get some use out of it. Is there something I am doing wrong as I read a post of yours saying it works "perfectly" on the 919 ............ ps ..... awesome support you have offered ..... not many developers bust a ball as much as you have.
