OLD - UG802 2dark4u/Finless custom ROM version 1.7

[Finless]

Is there any way to permanently disable status bar? I use hardware keyboard so I don't really need it, and it makes sort of a mess with mvideoplayer and mxplayer. Sometimes it crashes and won't come back, sometimes it won't disappear, in mvideoplayer subtitles leave artifacts... Etc
For me best option would be to permanently kill it. Any ideas?

Using ES File Explorer go into /system/app and rename systemui.apk to systemui.old. Dont forget to enable ES file explorer to root and mount system RW.

Done... no more status bar.

Which ethernet adapter do u use?

Which ethernet adapter do u use?

Greetings, Herwin

I use this product "EM1126" with my ug802
It works great! !
I power the ug802 from the charge port "2A" and hookup al my devices to the other ports of the hub like HDD, Ethernet adapter, etc etc...
One more thing, you also got a on/off switch with this setup !!

Impossible to install, tried with 4 different PC, allwyas the same message : "driver not found". I say on stock ROM

marcosinus: when posting something like this, please try to be as specific as possibly for the issue.

Let us know what OS you're using and we may be able to guide you to getting the drivers installed!

If you flashed my ROM once then in the APPs list is a reboot app I added tpo make it eaiser from that poin on to get into flash mode. Use that and select reboot bootloader. Now you will be in flash mode!

Bob

Sorry, that was a "" moment for me!!

I have 7 droid devices (phones/tablets/mini PC) all running custom ROMS and for some dumb A** reason, this escaped me as the solution.... My Bad

Tks Bob!

CIFS performance

Hi joeltjuh,

CIFS Manager works fine (without the auto mount part), however I'm getting bad performance when trying to play full HD mkv files via CIFS mounted shares. If I use ES File Explorer to start the videos directly from the share (not the CIFS mount point) the movies play fine. Any idea how to improve CIFS performance?

Thanks,

herges

Hey Finless and 2dark4u

Thank you both for the time you two spend on making this rom!

I am using the 1080p 1200 rom and everything works great except for cifs-manager

I am not getting the program to auto mount my network share on boot

already tried to change someting with shell terminal in init.rc (found something on the internet about this) wich did not work

But this whas my first attempt in the terminal.... don't have much experience with this

Can you tel a way to get this working for me i am using xbmc with mxplayer thats wy i want cifs manager to load mij network share

Will this device and firmware handle DTS sound? I cant see that is does. What is the point of this device if it cant provide surround sound? Maby I need a specific player and change some settings?

Sammi, are you using the exact same setup for PC you used to flash 1.6? Make sure it's USB 2.0 not 3.0 port, that your not going through a USB hub, and no other USB devices are connected to the UG802.

You can try this, although I'm not entirely sure why it seems to help, but it does for me. In the config screen for your share in CIFS manager, add the following in the options box:

rsize=24000

This increases the network read size. The reason I'm not sure why it seems to work is that the maximum size is dictated by CIFSMaxBufSize elsewhere, which is 16k, and we can't change that. Even when it's set higher, a mount command still reports it at 16k, but I've tried it with and without setting it to 24000 and videos definitely play smoother at 24000.

Also, on the subject of auto mounting, if you use any type of boot scripting app (I use Rom Toolbox), you can automatically mount your shares with the following script:

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox mkdir -m 0755 /mnt/cifs
busybox mkdir -m 0755 /mnt/cifs/NAS
busybox mount -t cifs //10.0.0.10/C /mnt/cifs/NAS -o username=*****,password=*****,rsize=24000

(the last two lines should be one command, no line break between -o and username...)

Just fill in your specific server information. This creates the mount point in /mnt and mounts the share automatically. I found I needed to create the mount point with 2 separate commands to get the permissions right (if I do it with a single command using the -p option, only the final directory gets the correct permissions, any higher ones are RW for the owner only, which is root, and means some other apps can't see it.) Or if you just want your mount point to be /mnt/NAS (or whatever), you can omit the second mkdir command and modify mount accordingly.

Thanks very much for this - I'll give that a spin over the next few days and report back my findings!

Re: NEW - UG802 2dark4u/Finless custom ROM version 1.7 - true 1080 and overclock - AND best performance ever!

Hi herges

I am using the app: mount manager. now wich is capable of mounting my cifs share on when it has found wifi connection in stead of mounting it on boot
wich doesn't work on both app's
In my case i remember that 1080p was streaming perfect trough cifs manager but i am not using it anymore.
I though remember about reading something about es file explorer being better in streaming over network than cifs manager
I am always streaming 1080p over my usb lan adapter wich works fine except when i have a lot of heavy apps running

Finless 1.7 for MK808

Hi Bob,

Any news on Finless 1.7 on MK808? Will you still be making finless 1.7 for MK808?

The Kernel you have with the UG802 finless 1.7 is faster than any other Kernel on the MK808 by a good margin - would love to see it on the MK808.

Keep up the good work.

THanks!
