RK3288 Device Overview BOX

[Gormar]

@ademturk, regrettably that isn't so easy. Kernel from other firmware might not be compatible
with new one and kernel compiled for other devices will almost always refuse to work.
In theory it should be possible to modify/prepare resource.img and use new kernel designed for new firmware on other than planed device but there are some problems as well. For example HPH 3288 and UGOTOS UT3 use three GPIOs in conjunction with PMIC (act8846) and Beelink R89 and FireFly use only two. Then how to prepare resource file?

thanks this is very helpful

thanks this is very helpful by the way dose this mean you can install same firmware on all the boxes under each heading. like i know i can install ugoos ut3 ,hph,rbox, firmware on my beelink r89.

bluetimes qpro box

Hmmm, first time I see this 'HTC TV033-V1', but I think so, because, if I'm not wrong, all HTC boards (by hotack) use the ap6330...
But all custom roms here use the AP6335 (beelink and hph)...

I had the same problem....the bluetimes qpro box uses the same firmware (cloudnetgo)...device stutters sometimes......so I d/l the latest cloudnetgo rom, pulled ot the boot, kernel, resourse and misc.img and used mo123's rom 1.2....it doesn't stutter as much....gonna try mo123's new 1.3 rom with original bluetimes factory rom.....Teccy

Hello!
I have been reading this forum for quite some time and now i got one tv box

CloudnetGo CR13s, its a HTC TV033-v1 board
rk3288, wifi ap6330, so i can flash roms with ap6330 without problems, am i right?

The tv box is nice but have some buggs, MP4 files playback is not smooth with mx player or xbmc kodi, wifi tested with speedmeter reach only 9mb for download, and the most irritating thing, when you download anything it turns unusable, laggy and even if you are listening to music while open any browser the sound is choppy and the navigation is slow with some hangs, once the page is loaded it works better...

Wow, that nice to see.
The same pcb as my ENY OEM Device.
Perhaps I can flash your rom or you can flash the rom of my device!

The only different think seems to be a IR sender. I am not :-( (But perhaps simple upgradable! )

Please make a screenshot of your android launcher and a screenshot from android-software inforamtion.

Rockchip partner companies:
Netxeon -> Tronsmart, Beelink, UBOX
T-Cip -> Nagrace HPH, T-Firefly
But not Hotac (HTC), I cant identify them at the list

Companies provide support to the end user:
Netxeon -> Tronsmart, Beelink, UBOX
T-Cip -> Nagrace HPH, T-Firefly
But Hotac (HTC) ??? a little bit, but not like the other both...

I see a Hotack in the second page...

Do not believe these lists too much. Sometimes get support from a SOC manufacturer depends on how much you pay, and even after that, maybe no body remember go to add a new banner there.

People should only support Rockchip partner companies or companies that use their boards and provide support to the end user.
So far I've seen the companies that provide Nagrace, Beelink and the HTC boxes with boards.
Here are the partner companies:

Not only this... they also doesn't support the square M8 (s802) correctly (old fw build with old sdk and may video problems and so on...) so every owner of the square M8 is happy that codesnake port openELEC for this device...

I don't like them.

EDIT
last but not least: what will happen at the Neken Q8 / VSMART Q8 / VSPEED VS-Q8 / ****** Q8 devices????

For my old RK3188 box, they released no KitKat firmware, had to build it myself, took several months to get everything working.
Sad thing is, lots of companies resell their devices even geekbuying like Q7, M8 and Q8 now.
People will buy the cheapest device but afterwards have no support and firmware problems.
Firmware porting from another device isn't as easy as people think and if low quality hardware(slow EMMC, RAM, Wifi & only 2A power adapter, will cause reboots,freezes) is used(it is), it will affect the user experience badly and no firmware can fix bad hardware.
Strange, don't see any ENY or XT(maybe Shenzhen Xinzhonghong Technology, maybe someone can contact then i.r.t the Q8 device?) company in the list below.

Seems Eny is making new boards without informing people and still posting links to old boards' firmware. Most people will brick their devices by incorrectly flashing the wrong firmware, just like ENY did with their RK3188 devices. Releasing 5 different boards with the same casing and name and the wrong firmware all over the place and zero support.

What is the boottime in seconds?

38 Seconds until I can see the Launcher / Cold-Start

Time to install XBMC?

Gotham is pre-Installed, runs well. I install Kodi nightly and it runs also good!

File copying speed of file over wifi, ethernet?

Sorry later... Wich app should I use. ES File Explorer. Where should he load it from, my nas?

Would be interesting to compare with the previous ENY board and mine.
