NEW - R28/R89/HPH Finless 1.2 ROM

[pegasus-sg]

Tronsmart R28 PArameter Change

Hi all!
Welcome to the 2nd 3288 ROM I have ever made. Still learning this new box.

This ROM was made from the latest release from Beelink. 110K4109_1016.

This ROM will work on the following and has been tested by me:
Beelink R89
Tronsmart R28
HPH TV Box with 16GB.

Please don't ask about other devices as I don't have them and cannot test. But 3288 ROMs seem to be pretty generic.

_________________________________________


Features and release notes for my 1.2 ROM:

1) Stock ROM was only 2 gigs of APP space.
I now supply you with 3 parameter files to choose from:
2gig - the default if you do nothing
4gig
8gig
If you guys want more let me know.

2) Debloated of junk APPs.
This includes the XBMC that came with 110K4, etc.
Why? Because if I don't do this and you do a factory reset, that XBMC always gets installed on first boot!
Removing it allows you to install whatever XBMC you want.
I do supply the original XBMC that came with this ROM in the Removed_apps folder so you can install it if you want.

3) All Google Apps and Google framework, Play Store, etc are updated to the latest as of this date.
Not sure why Beelink doesn’t update?

4) As always, I added full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it.
For geeks that want to use it. It is there!

5) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
Your device will show up in google play as Samsung device not a R89 or R29! Understand this please.
I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a R89.

6) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).

7) Other tweaks I do to add performance like buffer sizes, etc.
Yes I still tweaked the TCPIP buffers!
Other tweaks which are my trade secret

8) I did a tiny bit of theming to the launcher3 wallpaper.

9) I removed kernel from boot.img.
This will allow using different kernels later as the Dev's here make them.

It is.
The XBMC supplied with the ROM from Rockchip works great.
Just remember to turn on Mediacodec and Libstagefright off.
I tried the latest nightly Kodi, but it can't work with 3rd party addons, they are all broken, so stay away for the moment.

Installed Bob's rom and all works very smoothly indeed, with the only thing that required patching was the FakeID and changing the default USB connection from MTP to mass storage device.

The default colour reproduction was noticeably better than the stock.

Boot time is 40 seconds.

Running the modded XBMC though is not a happy experience for me.

The eulsat 4k video will not play at all, regardless of whether libstagefright is turned on or off and crashes XBMC when I attempt to play it.

General video playback is a step backwards and I'm surprised that others have found it an improvement.

The audio sync of Tearsofsteel 1080p is better than I have seen it before and is consistent throughout, so once offset is modified,no further tweaking is required. The video playback is still a little jerky.

SPMC works well within it's current known limitations.

Thank you Bob

FAKE ID?

What's that? Did I miss that somewhere?

It's an Android vulnerability that was major news over here earlier this year.

6gb and 14gb parameter files.

OK I figured I would do this before leaving town.

Here are the 6gb and 1gb parameter files people asked for.

Unzip this and you will have both files.

Password? I have no clue and have never seen this message.
What storage? Internal or external?
When does it pop up?

I think something messed up with your flashing or something as again I have flashed this rom 100 times while developing it and have never seen that.

Any way to include the Media Center Remote into your ROM?

Hi Bob,

Is there any way for you to include the media center remote IR commands into your ROM? That way I can tell my Harmony remote to use MCE and get all the goodness that comes with it. I've seen some included here: https://crewrktablets.arctablet.com:...5214f97#diff-2
