UPDATED 5_21 - Tronsmart t428 Android 4.1.1 - Finless ROM 1.4a

[alwaysbless]

Here is cifs, tun, and md4 KO modules compiled for 3.0.36+ kernel.

Special thanks to Leolas who compiled them.

He tested that they insmod on a 3.0.36+ kernel on the MK808 4.2.2 kernel. They should work with our kernel too but I have not tested them myself yet.

I insmod the cifs.ko then launched cifs manager and tried to mount my share and it froze mt t428 lol, maybe I did something wrong though. I placed cifs.ko in the modues folder and changed owner to root then permissions to rw-r-r (to match other modules). Then in android terminal did insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

Update: Also tried in mount manager, it freezes the device as well =/. I tried pointing both manually to the cifs/md4/tun ko files but that results in the same as manually insmoding from terminal

I feared that might be a problem.
The kernel sources used to compile this was for dual core MK808.
While it inmods OK, it is obviously not working.

I will let Leolas know about it and maybe he can figure it out.

Confirmed... this still hangs...

Additionally, there seems to be nothing in the dmesg or logcat pertaining to this.. I do get a lot of fb_errors, but that is nothing to do with the cifs/md4 inclusion.

No input on insmod, rmmod to logfiles.

I do not have a way to catch the snapshot of logfile, when I click on cifs manager to mount, just before hanging...

wifi and time settings

this thread may have already ended, but since i am still using the 1.4a, i figured i'd report that wifi stopped working after a sudden reboot. my 1 year old got ahold of the wireless keyboard for aprox. 15 seconds... that's enough time in baby years to do a lot of damage.
nothing would open, pandora, netfix, youtube, google play, but browser worked, except there were certificate errors. also i noticed that apps were updating on their own automatic schedule. then i noticed the time was wrong and went into time settings, and it was way off, by years even. then the browser certificate erros made sense, since they are only vaalid for a certain time window.
anyhow, i corrected the time zone and time, and wifi kicked in again.
i'm not sure if this has been an issue for anyone else, so i'm throwing it in.

Had some time to play around tonight and used a bunch of different apps and players. While pretty much all of them had some lag or skipping plex did not. It works flawlessly on all my 720p movies streamed from my pc. I suggest you try it over xbmc!

Best rom for me

Just my two cents,

After having tried all other roms, this is the best one for me.
Device is fast, wireless is stable, Netflix works without locking up, and most important I do not have the urge to smash it with a hammer

Thx..

I second that.
I'm anxious for any updates. But I am happy with this ROM for the fact that it is stable (primarily because Netflix works - though it is a little rough around the edges. only a little, but still it is there)
However, I will wait to purchase another device until an updated and stable ROM is available.
This is my favorite ROM and I will just keep using it until I see any promising updates on the 1.5a or future ROMs.

I used reboot app to enter recovery mode but now I am I am stuck. Any ideas?

As with T428 Finless 1.5a this drops connection to bluetooth airmouse and wifi constantly.

Still cannot find a single Rk3188/AP6330 ROM that works with an Airmouse/WiFi properly.

recovery

I used reboot app to enter recovery mode but now I am I am stuck. Any ideas?

After a few power cycles im back online.

Probably because Plex is transcoding it into a proper format that Android doesn't have any issues with. Thats what I have been using on all my devices once I discovered it. There is also a PleXBMC plugin and Plex Skin that allows XBMC to play from a Plex server. It works well.
