Awesome bro, i think im gonna get an hph 3288. do you think linux would make good use of the 4gb of ram or would it be overkill?

The new ROM is finished.
Just have to pack it again in Linux & upload.
Will post link to Youtube for GoogleTV separately.

The 4GB RAM won't make a big difference for a TV Box except for a desktop PC where 4GB is minimum for Linux to run smooth.

Will get a 4GB one soon.
Then I'll try to combine my new ROM with a dual-boot Linux image.

Now that's what I'm talk in bout bro. I want a dual boot droid n Linux box but want to make sure im not hanging up booted in Linux. So Linux hangs a bit on your 2gb hph box? That why your gonna get 4gb unit?

No, the 2GB one runs great.
I'm getting another one for free since I help out with the firmware and troubleshooting

[ICU]

Lol oh I see. Maybe you can get me a deal then on a 4gb unit. Then I will help troubleshoot with you.

Is it possible to use your v1.2 ROM with R28? I really want to try it out.

The R28 uses the same wifi and remote, so it might work correctly. Other user with R28 already installed ROM and it worked.
You might need to flash the boot.img and/or only resource.img from your stock ROM released after October 2014 for best compatibility.

Kudos to Nagrace for this. They are really investing in the development community.

[mo123]

Yes, Nagrace is one of Rockchips best suppliers.
They were the first company to actually release a RK3288 TV Box before anyone else and their box is more stable,faster than boxes that are made recently.


My new ROM is now uploaded for everyone to try.

I'm limited by space(800MB in Windows, if I go over 1GB in Linux the ROM doesn't boot for system.img) to not install more apps automatically, will try to find a solution or wait for TWRP/CWM for RK3288 TV Boxes that will make it much easier.

There are 2 bootanimations, just rename bootanimation.zip.old to bootanimation.zip with root access to see the other one.

First boot takes a while but second boot is less than 20 seconds.

Includes latest SPMC v13.3.4 beta 1 from today(not released on Play Store, only on Freaktab) that has perfect video playback and can F/F, R/W & seek with no crashes. Also plays lots of avc/mkv files that have black screens with Kodi beta 2/3.

Okey, thank you. Can I try with the boot.img and resource.img included in your ROM first? Or do I risk to brick my TV box then?

Hi mo123,
First off all I would like to say thank for all your hard work for the RK3288 community in general and for Nagrace HPH TV Box in particular.
Regarding your new ROM, do you think I can flash it fully in my HPH RK3288 with 4Gb of RAM and 32Gb of Storage?
Or I must keep my resource.img from my current 1.3.35 Nagrace firmware?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Keep up the good work.

You can try the full ROM first.
These boxes are mostly unbrickable, if it doesn't work just reflash.
You have to do a lowerformat first since the partition sizes are different than in previous ROMS.

Can flash the full ROM.
Remember to do a lowerformat since the partition sizes are different, an upgrade on the second tab won't work. Have to flash from the first tab.
Works on both 16GB & 32GB Models and Ugoos UT3 boxes(with their resource.img)
