Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[torbvea]

it seems your timezone setting is wrong. The default timezone setting is Berlin in my firmware. You have to set it to your timezone. The calender/lock uses the system default timezone in my firmware and it shows correct for me.

I'm using the same timezone as you. Got the time and date to stick now, however the date has the format year:month:day instead of day:month:year, the time is always showing in 12-hour format, even though I select 24-hour and the name of the months seems to be in German, no matter what language I choose. From the picture you attached it looks like everything is working, so it may just be a problem on my system.

Do you manage to open Kodi in full screen with multi window enabled btw? I tried the "tricks" Gormar said in the post above with no luck.

Thanks for the update Wasser! With v3.0.3 I can finally use my R28 on a daily basis. Movies plays perfect with Kodi and HDMI Pass through works good. I no longer have audio dropout with either Spotify, Kodi or Youtube. I'm using Logitech K400r keyboard which is working perfect, except with Kodi. When I'm hitting the enter button, the option under the mouse pointer is selected, not the option I have chosen with the arrows. Does anyone else have the same problem or can help me fix it? About the multi window support, the calendar/clock in the right corner is showing wrong timezone, Kodi won't open in full screen and some other apps wont maximize.

Thanks for the good work!

I've got similar problem with clock in right side of the task bar in multi window mode on mo123 LP v1.3 (LightBiz OS). Therefore I think it is RockChip error and in China they didn't noticed it because they hardcoded their own Time Zone (UTC+8).

Maximizing to fullscreen mode for some apps in multiwindow mode is a pain. Sometimes I need to select "minimize task bar" icon just after launching those trublesome. Other time when task bar is hidden "alt + tab" to lunch an app from previously used help with that problem.

Great ROM, working well even with Kodi, only question is why I cannot watch hockey on cast stream.com? Seems always no video with rk chips, but always works with any and all amlogic chips. Any idea why?

Can anyone help please, why this streamcast app only works with Amlogic and not RK chips, maybe change in video settings?

Hi Wasser!
Can confirm that the flickering issue is gone.
Video playback is absolutely flawless.
Have a problem when using Firefox: the screen sometimes turns into 2/3 white (upper part) and 1/3 black (lower part). Navigation bar is not available then. Have to use keyboard or right mouse button to go back.

I can confirm that bug too. You have to exit (not close) Firefox and reenter again then you have the full screen.

This also happend with 3.0.2 as far as i remember.

@wasser: Do you work on getting xposed working ? Some guys over at the arctablet forum have found out that its the rockchip framework including the Rockchip APPS causing the problems. And I think they might be right cause my rk3288 Pipo P4 Tablet works with xposed and CM 12.1 (Missing the Rockchip stuff) while it doesnt with the pipo lolipop firmwares.

One thing that I'm missing from previous versions is the close all apps X button in overview.
Thanks again for your great work!

On your screenshot, some of the icons on the bar are not complete, which is what doesn't occur for me.

The number of icons is limited though and there is space to the right that is unoccupied but would seem to have available space to show more of them.

Number of icons on task bar isn't limited but there is limited space for them. On my screenshot some of app icons are cut because I scroll through them to find application which I need.
I do not realy know if this is a bug or a feature .

[bluesmanuk]

Sorry but I did not fully understood you. Does the application icon fill all of available space (till notification icon) in task bar? Run more apps to check that.
For me in mo123 Light Biz OS v1.2 for some reason there is invisible boundary exactly in the middle of the screen. It looks like task bar is working in split screen mode.

Thanks for info about the clock in task bar. It is most annoing to have it shifted for so many hours. This is the reason to change to Wasser LP LighBiz edition . One more question in that matter. Can it work in 24-hour format?

Could someone upload screenshot from this new firmware version in multiwindow mode (Light Biz)? Print Screen key on physical keyboard should do the trick.

I don't get any of the icons only filling up half the space as shown on your screen shot but there seems to be unused space along the bar for more apps to go into.

Can anyone confirm if there is no problem with task bar in this new ROM with multi window mode enabled?
I mean that application icon fills only half of available space on bottom task bar and clock is always set to China's time zone (UTC+8).

My clock stays correct when in this mode.

3.0.3feedback

HDMI Passthrough turned on

MX Player with custom codec

Flawless playback of pretty much everything, with sound coming through perfectly.
5.1 and DTS is perfect with a slight delay before playback.
All of my 10 bit files played flawlessly.
Jellyfish 100/120Mbps files showed heavy stuttering as with the previous ROM but not really concerned considering the high bitrate of the files.
As before the only HEVC file that had heavy stuttering was a .TS file but that has never played well on RK3288 (did play well on the RK3368 ROM)
Colour reproduction and depth stunning as usual.


Youtube

Superb 1080p playback with an occasional micro stutter every 30 seconds but so minor as to be hardly noticeable.


BBC iPlayer (Beta)

Perfect playback.


Internal video player

For all the videos that it supports (which is less than MX Player), the same quality results as MX Player.


Kodi 16 Beta as mentioned above by Thomasqqq

Playback generally good but micro stuttering with 4k and high bitrate files.

Dolby 5.1 audio was flawless across the board but DTS was hit and miss. Sometimes it would just not produce any audio and I had to exit and restart Kodi to get it to play again. Once 1 file does not play audio, none of them will.

All 10 bit files played well, which I wasn’t expecting at all.

BBB 1080p surround - perfect.

Files with Dolby Truesound did play audio but only as regular stereo (better result than MX Player and not expected to play in full audio glory on my sound bar)

The .TS files that would not play well in MX Player played flawlessly.

Planet earth pole to pole MKV file stopped playing video part way through but continued to play audio.
All general video files played back very well.


General ROM usage

As usual, all is very fluid and fast in operation.
WiFi and Ethernet speeds very good across the board.
Colour reproduction, depth and clarity absolutely superb across the board with all players.

For me, my R28 Meta is still the best Android box that I have.

For the moment, I didn`t have much time to check all the aspects but the firware work verry good, only downgrade that I notice is the youtube streaming wich is limited to 720p, I will explore more and post feedback latter, thank`s WASSER for all your work!
