mey mo.... i have installed on my 4/32 and keep getting a constant crash after about 3 mins.... im on wifi and installing backup on spmc and cant finish without crashing.... i had it on a 2/16 and it settled down and seemed to be ok.... but the 4/32 wont settle down....crash crash crash.

update... now its got to the point of where i only have to click on spmc shortcut and crash....second time on rom....i have reloaded it and all went ok ?

update ... im backing up and restarting because using xml zero so have to restart..... not crash change ?

Does it work now?

Maybe you need to erase IDB, to completely erase the EMMC space.
Then flash the ROM again, but use the parameter file from the 32GB model(not that it should make a difference).
If you flashed the separate images, also try to flash a single image with the steps provided.

Connect OTG cable to box and PC.
Hold paperclip/toothpick into reset hole while connecting the power to box.
It should now connect. If not reinstall the drivers and try again.

For single Image flash method
1. Unzip with 7z
2. Run mkUpdate.bat in rockdev folder to combine all the separate images into a single flash-able image.
3. Use the second tab of AndroidTool v2.3 to select the Image from 'Firmware' button and click 'Upgrade' to flash the ROM.
You can also select different parameter files for user space eg. 4GB, 8GB, just rename the parameter file to the same name as the default one before making your single Image file. Default is also 2GB.
eg. rename rk3288-3.10-uboot-data4G.parameter.txt to rk3288-3.10-uboot.parameter.txt to have 4GB space for apps.

Multiple Image Flash method
1. Go to first tab of AndroidTool v2.3
2. Make sure all the entries checkboxes are checked and the filename paths are the same as in the rockdev folder.
3. Uboot, userdata and backup should be unchecked.
4. Click lowerformat to wipe(Erase IDB in old Rockchip v1.37 Tool) your device clean.
5. Click run to flash your device.

It's the button called 'lowerformat' on the first tab of the flash tool.
It will erase your whole ROM and it won't boot until you reflash the firmware.

Try to use a different USB port on the device.
Post dmesg, in terminal emulator app type 'su' then 'dmesg'
Also install catlog from the Play Store and post the log with the device plugged in and trying to use it.
Will then report the issue. Will also check in kernel if more keyboards/controllers can be enabled.

I will increase the TCP buffers again and test it for wifi.
Don't have a problem with wifi, use Wireless N Router at 150mbps.
Just waiting for Rockchip fixes before I release new ROM later this week or next week.

Funny. Keyboard Works on the other port. Any particular reason for it?

Also, will a USB hub work?

Yes, I think it's one of the back USB ports that only work with certain devices, but the other 2 work normally. Can't remember where I read it.
The Logitech controller. Even on Logitech's website they say it needs a special program that only runs on Windows, no Linux or Android drivers from their part. Will need to enable it in Android kernel if available.
