I have a few boxes, I just started testing out the RK devices and so far it's not looking good. I never have issues with the amlogics.
I have here a few RK3288s, Mali-T764 Cortex-A17 boxes from bluetimes. These guys have the worst support and disappear quite often.
All of them have the same exact symptoms, the remote control when navigating the Android main menu is extremely slow and sluggish. It took me 20 mins just to type a wifi password. You have to click the same letter or character 100 times before it inputs. Eventually I got in to Kodi and surprisingly, I'm able to navigate extremely fast through kodi and the add ons, very responsive within milliseconds which was a plus but every music feed or video playback was horrid, lots of skipping, freezing up, stutters, frames freezing and hiccuping, etc. I saw the strangest thing in the world, the equalizer blocks when playing music was spinning out of control, slow, fast spinning, was extremely awkward. I'm not sure if it's the box or Kodi in general bc I've never witnessed such behavior. Personally, I don't install Kodi on any machine, I feel even the stable release is unstable. Gothan 13.2 is rock solid on every box I've programmed.
Anyway, with all the issues I'm having, I would like to look for a new firmware which can hopefully fix these up with a nice android simplistic launcher. I can then install 13.2 gotham on it and give it another whirl.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
