Tronsmart MK908II currently suggested ROM/Kernel

[manovel]

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Tronsmart MK908II and I am a little bit lost on which ROM / kernel pair is best suited for it.

I have seen the following possibilities might be good:

Do you have any suggestion?


Thank you,

Hi Manovel,

I recently brought a MK908II, another user asked the same question & if you want to read my responce checkout the thread here :

Only thing I´d add to whats written there is I changed kernel to the 1.8ghz 720P with stock ram and stock gpu, pushing 20000 in antutu and shes still fairly cool, other than the wait after boot, this is not a bad device, runs xbmc 1080P content no problem, rom is really stable.

i have the same stick, MK908II, best rom ive found is Bobs kitkat 2.0 for the A928 combined with D33 kernel with a nice overclock, 1608/720/600, my stick has a T chip, you need to use v3 ap6210 kernel as the rom is based on beta source.

Marko33, can you let me know a quick and easy way to find if the chip is T version or normal?

without D33 kernels the Tchip is locked at 1.4ghz, install antutu cpu master and see what maximum frequency your at.

Hi,my chip is not T;
I tried your suggested ROM/Kernel, but was remaining stuck at the booting image.

I am running now:
NEW - Finless ROM 2.0 - KitKat 4.4.2 for AP6210 wifi - BETA
with d33 v3 ap6210 kernel

I got good performances and good video playback with plex and youtube.
However, using a TV streaming app (zattoo) the playback is somehow strange, slowing down in some moments and speeding up later. Did somebody experience something like that?

Thanks

hi manovel

don't know we mean the same issue with zattoo: while streaming (hd) it switchs from hi to low resolution?! this problem was also with the original tronsmart firmware and other. have had this also on a "older" mk808.
but i think i solved this problem on the mk908ii with this kitkat rom:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?14688-NEW-MK908II-and-similar-devices-CUSTOM-KITKAT-ROM-by-VECLINUX

i've installed the first version in the first post of veclinux (there are also higher versions with 1080). i running the mk908ii now on 720 resolution (btw: zattoo streams maximum 720).
and surprise surprise: zattoo streams smooth and stable, with no hi/low "switching".
xbmc i will try later, but it seems working fine too.

Nice,
I followed your suggestion and I am now able to use Zattoo streaming flawlessy.
I do not experience slow-downs/speed-ups and the audio/video is synchronized.
I did not try XBMC, but I am less interested in that...

Has anyone tested newest Stock firmware for MK908II?

http://www.tronsmart.com/support/download-center/42-tronsmart-mk908ii

Tronsmart_MK908II_4.2_20140725.zip

I have currently stock 205j2 17-12-2013 version firmware on my MK908II. I could not find any release notes about that new firmware I couldn't download it, tried two times and download was interrupted on both times It would be nice to know is that beta or stable release, and what they have been updated. I could not find any info about this.
