[KERNEL][CWM ONLY][Mar14] Omegamoon's Kernel Compilations for MK808 only

[lukesan]

Just done the test.

Sorry for the record quality. 720P kernel but recorded with my S2 in front of the tv. Same channel, the Omegamoon one might be recorded closer to the tv but I think you will see what I mean.

Finless 1.7c of course

and I've installed it using CWM and using Finless Flash Tool, same result, I got it to boot (after about 10 bootloops) but it was very slow and unstable, and every time I rebooted i got into yet another set of bootloops, so I reverted and I gave up on it

2dark4u is the only kernel (other that stock and finless) that works for me

Yeap that happened to me when I came from 2dark4u kernels. I had to do a clean install and select the .IMG file to begin with when installing with the flash tool. Sorry that you can't try this kernel. Enjoy your device regardless !

Is there a way to upload these files on a location where I do not have to sign up for spam?

See bugmenot. Another user posted it earlier in the thread.

What rom and what device are you using ? Installing via CWM?

First, there is no way to know what speed the GPU is running at. Trust me, I've tried searching for this. You could try getting Tegrak overclock to see if the GPU portion can detect the MALI (Mali is used in various Samsung devices). I cannot guarantee it'll work though.

If you downloaded the kernels directly from Omegamoon's site, then yes, it will be sluggish because Omegamoon made a slight error when compiling kernels. Regardless of resolution to your TV (e.g., 720p or 1080p), the device's internal resolution is still 1080p. Omegamoon is aware of this already as I've been contacting him privately back and forth in troubleshooting this issue.

Download the kernels from the front page here and flash it through clockwork recovery. If you don't have clockwork recovery, then download the kernel anyway, and extract the kernel.img file in there and flash that. I must warn you, however, that this is not my ideal method of flashing kernels because changing from 2dark4u's kernel to Omegamoon's kernel has resulted in a black boot for me. Get the 720p kernel in this thread and install it. The performance is ridiculously good.

And you're right, if you're in Belgium, you're likely using 50hz refresh and not 60hz. When I have the time, I'll try to compile 3 more kernels for the three resolutions but in 50hz. I forgot that 50hz still existed. Lol.

Cheers.
P.S. PLAYING CAT WAR 2 ON A GIANT TV IS FUN. LOL.



Leolas, have you tried any of the kernels on the front page? I know you won't get WiFI, but I'm just wondering if you have. =)

Sorry i didn't try those specific kernels yet, but i try my own kernels compiled from omegamon github almost daily. And I am working now in 4.2.2 and setting a properly scrips for my own kitchen.

[PoisonWolf]

Am I the only one that cannot make this kernel work ? I always get boot loop, no matter how I install it, the result is always bootloop any ideas as to why ?

edit: about 10 bootlops later, it booted correctly... 1080p no sound, I am going to try the script

The issue that I have is that I mainly use this stick to stream from my sattelite receiver. The only one that is capable is that kernel from Alex. Sometimes it drops a frame but if I use every other kernel it is just unwatchable.
I just tried with a KMV file that I made and it is exactly the same. In Archos Alex's kernel sometimes drops a frame but it is watchable and the Omegamoon is like a fast side show.
Now I know Omegamoon does a fantastic job but we need to know what is different from the one from Alex. The new stagelib also breaks more than it fixes on my end.
Next time I will try to record it and put it on youtube.

Extract the kernel.img files from the zips posted in this thread and try the satellite streaming watching again.

Not sure what you mean by that. It's always been 50Hz and yes we have moved on from 110V in the 60's, last century that is, to 220V and now we use 230V.
Don't tell me you still use 110V and have powerplants that were never updated since the 40' or 50's?
Do you still have power lines above the ground?

Hehehe

I love Omegamoon kernels cause all the work he is doing is shared with all the community, by the fact, you can download his sources and compile them easy, WTF, he give us scripst to compile them if we want in automatic mode.
I don't try dark4u kernel cause he don't provide his modified kernel sources, like rockchip, it broke GPL and not help the comunity to advance, so I don't want to use them.
Actually I have a mk808B and I can use stock kernel cause is the only one that makes my wifi chipset work, but i love to test everything so i Test kizs and omegamoon kernels, of course wifi don't work for me, but both are a lot of better than the stock one.

About the 50 or 60 hz, I have 2 Tvs and a PC screen, I tested all my screen devices in both modes and i cant see differences. But my eyes are not so good I use big glasses

Is there any way to check the speed that it is running at?
The reason why I am asking this all, and leolas I do not want to hijack your thread, that this kernel feels extreemly slow compared to the dark4u kernel.
What I also see is that my icons, while also downloaded the 720P one (zImage_DVI_720p.img), are alot smaller. It almost looks like it is 1080P.
What I also noticed was that Omegamoon mentioned 50 and 60Hz as output. In Europe for sure we use 50Hz so leolas maybe we need to check this as I suspect that some TV's might act a bit weird on 60.

I would not advise it because these sticks do not have heat sensors and cannnot downthrottle if it is too hot. As an example...try running taiji benchmark twice....the stick will freeze on the second run or third run due to heat. the gpu limit has been increased from 266mhz to 400mhz. Did you need more? The problem with the MALI-400 GPU based on my understanding is that the frequency steps supported is only 800 divided by an integer. So 800/2 = 400mhz, whereas 800/3 = 266 mhz. So the next step from 400mhz would be 800/1 = 800mhz. I'm fairly certain this will fry the MALI400 gpu without some sort of fan.

Any idea on how to overclock the GPU ? I did not see a setting for that in setcpu.
