OLD - UG802 2dark4u/Finless custom ROM version 1.7

[astromar99]

sd card update

Wow all.... what can I say?
This ROM was made by Alex and I just for you all! Talk about a labor of love for the hobby we both enjoy!
Alex (2dark4u) and I over the last week have been up super late every night to work on this. Realize PLEASE... I am in USA California and Alex is in Ukrain... We are on the other side of the world!
To work live together both of us have stayed up to VERY late hours MANY days!

So with that said... If you like this ROM. Please donate! You have no idea how many man hours went into this creation! Also, Alex does not have a donate link yet. So if you donate to me and want donations to go to Alex, Please put that in your donate comments on paypal! I will make sure Alex gets it!

Downloads..... So we at FreakTab cannot afford to host ROM downloads anymore. We in fact have moved to a new hosting company for the web site. Special thanks to Trunk Rainer (neomode) for keeping us alive! We just have not had enough donations or advertisers to pay the bandwidth bills!
So please help us to help you by donating!
The ROM dev's here will now be putting ROMs on Goggle Drive, DropBox, etc. But as you know these can be overwhelmed with downloads! So our policy has changed. FEEL FREE to put our roms UNCHANGED on mirriors!

Thank you all for your support!

_______________________

NOW onto what this ROM kit is.....

This is ALL in the readme of the download!

Release Notes:
This was made from the latest Ugoos ROM for system.img but with a custom kernel by Alex (2dark4u).
There are a huge amount of changes in this ROM. See below for features.

WARNING TO ALL!!!!
In this ROM kit are custom kernels for overclock.
Some will burn out your UG802 if you do not have a heatsink on the processor!
SO BE CAREFUL which you choose. I did my best to explain in the README.txt for instructions on what to do!
DO NOT BLAME ME OR Alex (2dark4u) IF YOU BURN UP YOUR UG802!!!!

This ROM is YOUR responsibility if you flash this. YOUR WARRANTY is voided for sure!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

___________________________

Features in 1.7 ROM:

The BIG feature! TRUE 1080P resolution if you want it!

1) A choice of custom kernels with Overclock support and FULL 1080P resolution!
WARNING! Be careful which kernel you choose for overclock!
Without a heatsink on the processor you CAN BURN OUT YOUR UG802!!!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

2) OC Kernels are also provided for 720p for users that do not have a TV with 1080.
See instructions IN THE ROM KEY README for deciding which kernel and boot.img to flash!

3) Fully rooted with the latest SU and SuperUser.apk

4) FULL Goole Play store! Thanks for tips from 2dark4u this enables full market in regions like Ukrain!
For instance, onlive APP should now show in Google Play!

5) All GAPPs updated to latest. This includes the latest Play Store, GMS Core, Youtube, Gmail, etc.
However Google Search is not updated as the latest cannot be a system APP. So update that once you are running.

6) I added a reboot APP that will allow you to reboot the device from the Android UI. No more unplugging the unit!

7) I give you the HIDE STATUS BAR feature BUILT IN!
On the status bar is a DOWN arrow icon. Click it and status bar is gone!
To bring it back just go into settings and it will pop back up.

8) I give you the TV Browser we have seen in other uGoos ROMs. So this ROM like all my ROMs has both launchers!

9) Full init.d support has been added! If you do not know what that is... ignore it.
Basically it allows you to install scripts that run at boot time.
If your interested, google search V6SuperCharger for a neat speed booster script.

10) User APP space by default was only 512MB.
I have now given you 2 parameter files to chose from! A 1GB APP space and a 2GB APP space choice!
By default the 1GB is chosen in the flash tool. This leaves 1.67GB Internal SDcard.
You can choose the 2GB parameter file which will leave you with only 670MB Internal SDcard.
The choice is yours!
So, if you flash this ROM using the PC based flash tool, you get more APP space. However, using
the SDcard update.img method for this ROM still leaves you with 504MB. Update.img from SDcard cannot
repartition the memory space. So if you want the larger APP space, use the PC flash tool.
To choose the 2GB parameter file, in the flash tool click the empty box to the far right of the parameter line.
A file browser will open. Navigate to the FinlessROM folder and select the parameter2gb file.
YOU MUST ERASE NAND (IDB) for this to work!

11) I added the Xbox Xpad.ko module as well as the XML file tweaks to support other game controllers.

12) I also added cifs.ko and md4.ko BUT! I have not tested them myself! So you all need to let me know CIFS works or not.

INSTRUCTIONS!
The insturstions for how to flash and use kernels is in the readme of the download!
READ THEM before you ask questions!

OK so here is the ROM download. It is on my Google Drive account!
I expect this to be overwhlemed by downloads and CUT OFF by Google!....
So users that got it PLEASE post mirriors for others!
As I said above, Freaktab has not gotten enough donations or advertisers to pay for direct downloads anymore! So we now have to use free file sharing sites

How to pop up the bar from auto hide

The auto hide bar worked better in version 1.6 rom.
This version does not let you pull it up or unhide it with the mouse.
Is it possible to use the other 1.6v of auto hide bar with 1.7v Rom?
Thanks

just go to settings and your bar just pops up again

Long click on the desktop... simple.

I'm trying to upgrade my device from finless 1.6 to 1.7 but it's refusing to go into flash mode (something I never had trouble with prior).

I'm plugging it into my PC, I'm ticking the "connect to pc" box, I've toggled between MTP device and Mass storage and I've made sure usb debugging is off. I've even done a factory reset of the device. The flash tool refuses to say anything but "no found rkandroid rock usb". =(

1.6 should have reboot app, that allows you to simply enter the flash mode from the android enviroment.

If the ROM Flash Tool not work you, use the Rockchip_Batch_Tool_'s "switch" button to boot to flash mode.

How to flash using Windows 8 pc

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the ROM. I am very excited to use this, but I couldn't flash the UG802 using my Windows 8 pc, it is failing @ the 'update device drivers' step.

Any option to flash using Windows 8?

Thanks
With regards,
Thiru

I have been unable to do the install from a wındows 8 pc no matter what i tried - and i tried many, many supposed solutions
so borrowed a friend's laptop which had windows 7 installed and it took just a little over five minutes to do the flash after that

the ug802 is simply unflashable with windows 8 at this point

Sometimes you just need to go the easy route:

Virtualbox with Windows Xp and you're done.

Guys, please check that your SDcard is not corrupted. It can cause many issues like this!

Read this about WHY RK3066 have problems with SDard corruption. It is VERY common:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...ard-Corruption!


And this on how to fix a corrupted SDcard:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...Understand-WHY!


Let me know if this resolves the issue. I have yet to have this problem you are talking about bucause I have made my SDcard NTFS now.

Bob

Well I tested both my sd cards as to corruption issue, no errors found, so trying to be diligent and try everything I could think of I reflashed both units with 1080p kernel and img, first one i just flashed and enabled wifi and the turned off and flashed second unit, I removed from my backups using Rom toolbox pro all the user data, thinking maybe my 3rd party software sideloading was somehow in the backup, on the second unit I restored apps and went to amazon appstore and downloaded some games etc, worked great, turned off unit took a nap and then turned back on went to my humble bundle to try downloading some games, downloads fine but will not install, go figure... so I checked the sd card again, no errors.

Then I went back to the other unit, powered it up went to humble bundle downloaded some games and they installed fine so i went to amazon, again worked great, played games for awhile, went back to amazon... had not powered off unit, downloaded app and again not able to install, so I am totally stumped.... I have pretty much everything backed up to a few sdcards so i can restore things i want, but cannot figure out why what appears to blocked installs outside google after first reboot happens, any other ideas would be great.....Thanks

So I just got the UG802. I was able to load the 720 and the 1080 versions on. Right now on the 1080 version. I have noticed my WiFi keeps on dropping and having a hard time restarting it. It was working perfectly the first time I load the ROM into the stick. USB to computer is turned off and USB debugging is turned off. Anyone know how to fix that?

Seems like I am having more problems using the supplied power supply. If it is powered by USB on a computer, the WiFi seems to be stable. Anyone heard of that problem?

Yes many of us had these kind of problems maybe you have to read this thread from begin

But generally it helps when using a adequate power source 2A 5V and a direct HDMI connection to exclude HDMI stock cable problems.

I am running a 5VDC 2A power supply and direct connection to the TV through HDMI.
