[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kiwi_man82]

Guest I had a white clone MXQ with 2gb ram as a sample and it was a piece of crap including the Android rom it came with.
I flashed the following rom.

http://mbox.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=1691

I then flashed Nand OpenELEC-Amlogic.HD18Q.arm-6.95.1.3.
If you flash DO NOT PANIC WHEN FLASHING OPENELEC AFTER this Android rom. Just hold the Tooth Pick in the box until you see MXQ splash then let go.
It can take up to 3 minutes.
AT YOUR OWN RISK as i did not give a shit what happened to that thing.

Cheers mate. My box is only a 1gb ram device. It works ok in andoird and has all ram recognized in Android. It's with oe that it is only seeing 512MB ram. Kszaq is looking to see what he can do. And it sounds like even though fanni2 has the same board, he has more ram than me 😢 lol. In saying the, I think he too has only 512MB in oe.
This is the android fw I am using now https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B52...ew?usp=sharing

bordiart I have a working workaround for not being able to select 50/24Hz. I'll post it in the evening, when I get back home.

kszaq , truly hope that it's going to work, will wait for the workaround. Thanks in advance.

kszaq ,
please note that 6.95.2.2 doesn't work for me (with other kernel too)

free command output under Android:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 854016 352268 501748 0 2860
-/+ buffers: 349408 504608

kszaq. Hope this is somewhat helpful? 😂

Haha, i've just looked at this and it seems i have 2gig also?? Yet cpu x shows 1gig and oe is 512meg. Board has 2x512meg chips? I'm not pretending to be some clued up person when it comes to this sort of thing, but things just dont add up to me......

You quoted my post from 3 months ago, related to much earlier releases. The new mapping is default for OpenELEC. If this bothers you that much, please downgrade to 6.95.1.1.

For the new driver, you can remap your keys with this addon: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/helix/script.keymap/

thanks for this soft but i try it to configure; ,not understand this soft: hoppe your next release have the mapping like version 6.95.1.1

kiwi_man82 In Android you could try app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d..._advance&hl=en
See what that brings up.
By the way have you opened this box and seen what ram is physically inside.

I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Thanx, but it's seems like happened only with Kodi menu command "Power - Shutdown". Remote control RED button "Suspend" works.

kiwi_man82 fanni2 I made a small test: I installed cyx firmware on my box and ran "free" command... Guess what? My box also has 2GB of RAM!

Not really. Cyx firmware fakes RAM amount and your boxes have only 512MB of RAM. Confirmed by device tree. It does not lie. I will compile a "m201d" build for these boxes with a proper device tree. OE is much less RAM hungry and it should run fine with 512MB.

[fanni2]

Interesting so I take it the 2 ram chips installed are only 256 each then?

Correct.

kszaq can you take a look at this build error? http://pastebin.com/T3ttbbLs

Have you used "git clone" to download my repository or you simply downloaded an archive with sources?

[pesh]

Source archive. I'll try to clone

bordiart Here's a workaround for box not detecting refresh rates: http://s805.eu/utils/disp_cap_hack/

It works with all my releases.
