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

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

<sup>The only reason I can imagine this is not working now is that it's not a legit mk808.

I opened it up and it has an rk901 wifi chip but only a single antenna which is odd because I swear all the ones I've seen have two. Either way, the wifi signal is fine (now at least). It also has a black heatsink on there too.

Do you think it's a legit mk808?</sup>

If you have rk901 I think it is a mk808.

If you have rk901 I think it is a mk808.

So I shouldn't have any problems, right?

I want to try the dark4u kernel to see if I have any luck with that but unfortunately, the site it's hosted on is down

Yes you shoulnt have problems, not with this one too, but some times there are extrange problems...

Well I managed to flash the kisz kernel which works fine :S

It's a shame because this kernel does so much more!

Hi folks,

I'm convinced there's something wrong with the submitted kernel builds, omegamoon's own kernels work fine on my MK808 (aside from something I'll explain in a moment) but these all freeze on boot, using finless 1.7c.

Now, I can appreciate you made these builds for this version of the kernel because there's some fantastic improvements and people with hdmi would also like to use it.

I've tried older builds from omegamoon's own site (because I can only use HDMI) and they booted fine. Only problem being is, they all output at 1080p, even if I specifically use the 720p versions. They, no matter what, scale 720p up to 1080p. (you can tell because of all the jaggies around everything and I'm using a 720p rom so the initial boot image appears messed up.) They also don't include the new governers so it's kinda pointless.

I understand that you can't answer questions about the kernel it self but do you have any idea what I could do to actually boot your builds corrently? I have tried both flashing with finless rom flash tool (just the kernel img) and by using CWM.

Both methods result in a hang on boot.

Thanks,
Mark.

You can try to compile your own kernel a step by step guide is in general tv section.

I think I can manage that tutorial (wow, it must have taken ages to put that together, great work!)

First time though, most likely going to totally mess it up

My girlfriend will kill me too, she won't see me all week :P

Trickiest part seems to be selecting the right options with menuconfig...

Cacoe,

These kernels were tested on Finless 1.6 I can't really speak to their 1.7 functionality.
My advise would be to start fresh using the FInless Flash tool. Now, I'm not sure if you've also messed up your bootloader when you installed Finless ROMs (for an explanation, see http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...ll=1#post53451)

Here's what I would advise:
1) Download the latest firmware from Geekbuying for the MK808, be it version 4.1 or 4.2.
2) Use their tools, follow the instructions and reinstall the stock firmware. Included is the original bootloader for your MK808.
3) Now, reinstall Finless's ROM (regardless of 4.1/4.2), but UNTICK the first option I think that says bootloader as you don't want to use any custom bootloader. I don't have my flashing computer with me now, but it should be the first option. Tick everything else, and as usual, swap out the kernel.img file with the 720p kernel posted here.
4) Don't forget to click the Wipe NAND button.
5) Install.

Once you've done this, let me know if you still have difficulty getting it to boot.

I'm on the same bot with you cacoe. I did everything to install omegamoon kernel but all of them failed. Also I could not manage to install kizs kernel too. Only 2dark4u is running on my device.

Addition to that I'm really trying hard to solve poor video performance. Not only in video but also in games, screen is stuttering. Some frames are dropping or skipping which annoys me very much.

All these consequently leads to make me thing my device is not genuine. :/

Try a different USB cable?

I tried but again stuck at boot.

I installed jelly bean original rom. then installed finless 1.6 with omegamoon kernel with loader option (first option) unticked. unfortunately did not boot :/

Script manager smanager

[QUOTE=Gaurav277;57059]Finless is correct, Sound commands dont work in init.d but they work through Script Manger quite smoothly.

Overall this kernel with Fineless ROM is AMAZING ( the only word suited for this combination) . I am using 720P with ROM 1.7b . Finless, I can confirm all wifi issues have gone also with this ROM..

Thanks !!! you guys are great in pushing MK808 to its limits and beyond hats off !!![/QUOTE

I can't figure how to create new script in this program and where to put it. It looks totally different than the screen shots from play store. Love the kernel, just can't live without sound

1080P Kernel works great on my 808 but now it will no longer detect my optical touch screen, any ideas?

Read through the first post again. I have outlined how to even get sound working manually. Just download the Terminal app.

Sound

Tried that. I typed the first line.. Got sound for 10 secs... Then lost video. Had to pull plug to reboot. Haven't given up, but it took a long time to type that in terminal with my bad eyesight Btw, I am testing on 808b
