NFS Kernel (Android 4.1.1):
Dev-Host
FreakTab Cloud (Mirror)


I cant test this kernel becouse my mk808 was swiming in water so please post fedback on what devices its working and on which its not working.
Post abouth wifi etc. it will probably work on RK901 wifi chip devices.
If this kernel dont work for you, you can always go back to stock without loseing any data.
Use bob tools to flash just the kernel.


You can mount NFS share using Busybox, just download any terminal app and paste this command (edit remote nfs directory to look something like this 192.168.x.x:/xxx acording to your NAS nfs share IP):

su
busybox mount -o rw,intr,soft,nolock,nfsvers=2 [remote NFS directory] [local directory]

To Mount at system startup you can use a init.d script or add a code abowe to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
It will mount to /system/mnt/NFS you need to edit script to add your shares (Use Notepad++)

In v2.2.3 my recommended Ethernet2USB adapter (from dealextreme) didn't work at all and there's no problem on Finless 1.7 and 2.1 (work by default).

Could anyone confirm the same for v2.2.4?

Not sure which one you have but I am using SKU: 170753 from DX on v2.2.3 now and it works perfectly.

[timbo]

Download link broken?

No luck downloading for MK808B V2.2.4

Tried with Chrome and IE.

Just me?

[lewy20041]

Thank you for this ROM.


I have one question :

What advance taskkiller do you mean?

-in advance task killer
-in advance task killer go to settings:
1. check startup kill
2. select startup delay and set it to 20-30s



I installed the version from Rechild and there is no option : "check startup kill" .

Is is something build in your ROM or is it something from Google play store?

sorry i didnt updated that part of instal process.
there is no advance task killer so just skip this part.

[lewy20041]

Any one with the same behaviour?

Test result V2.2.4 + 2dark4u 720p kernel.

My setups :
1x MK808 with standard cooling + 2(real)A power supply.(non-chinese)
1x MK808 with modified heatsink + USB hub with 2.2A charging outlet.
USB/LAN adapter (random ****, white plastic).
RC11-Air mouse.
500 Gb USB disk.

For this test I used my standard cooled MK808.
No external micro-sd card.
SetCPU set on performance 1,4Ghz.
full!screen app.

MK808/MK808B/MINIX Hybryd FW V2.2.4 !NEW!(22.05.2013).
2dark4u kernel 720p.


First I benchmark 3 times, then I reboot and then I benchmark 3 times again.

Antutu :
10582 / 10631 / 10536 / 10717 / 10704 / 10779.

SD card read/write :
7.3-5.7MB/s, 6.6-9.5MB/s, 8.3/6.3MB/s, 6.9/>50MB/s, 6.8/20.5MB/s, 10.6-20.5MB/s.


RAM : 1702
CPU integer : 1889
CPU float-point : 1555
2D graphics : 1495 (1280x720)
3D graphics : 3251 (1280x720)
Database IO : 560
SD card write : 73 (7.3MB/s)
SD card read : 57 (5.7MB/s)
CPU frequenty : 1416MHz(x2)

54°C after 6 antutu benchmarks. (cold start) (measured through the holes in the plastic above the heatsink).


Epic Citadel - version 14 May 2013 update [gives lower score!] (High quality) :
(Sound does not work correct for me in Epic Citadel with this ROM, in Finless 1.7c+1.5beta1 sound does work correct).


42fps / 41.4fps / 41.5fps / 42.4fps / 41.7fps / 40.6fps


66°C after 6 Epic Citadel benchmarks. (after warm start and after 6 antutu benchmarks) (measured through the holes in the plastic above the heatsink).


Linpack for Android :

Single-Thread : 55.889 / 56.644 / 56.644 / 56.606 / 56.606 / 56.644 MFLOPS.

Multi-Thread : 92.981 / 92.776 / 91.816 / 92.471 / 94.703 / 95.508 MFLOPS.


55°C after 6 Epic Citadel benchmarks, 6 antutu benchmarks and 12 x Linpack (measured through the holes in the plastic above the heatsink).


XBMC :

Playback H264 23.976fps 1280x720 (60hz)
cpu0 18 - 35%
cpu1 16 - 38%
No frames dropped.

Framerate when IDLE in system/systeminformation - +/- 80fps

When XBMC is running IDLE it seems XBMC does not lock its framerate so it rockets to +80fps and the temperature rises above 61°C so when IDLE the MK808 gets warmer than when playing movies for hours.


conclusion :

This new hybrid ROM works very well, benchmarks are very consistent.

Performance and temperature is about the same as Finless 1.7c.

I will have to test some more with this ROM but my first conclusion is that this ROM is fast and stable and works good with 2dark4u kernel.

[robbejanvdw]

Thanks for the rom and the efforts! I'll test it out!

Is it possible to get the apk of the old explorer? I like the old one more then es file manager. I can't find my usb stick on es file manager :s

Did you tried youtube? Im with 1080p kernel.

[CannaBioD]

Did you tried youtube? Im with 1080p kernel.

I did try Youtube and I had no problems playing various content.

I use a 720p 2dark4u kernel and set Screen/HDMI Mode/1280x720p-60 ).

ok. I have huge delay on sound and video in youtube with 2.2.4 and 2Dark4u 1.4 1080p. I'll try other kernel.

thanks

[lewy20041]

with 1080p you may have some problems.
go to developer options and disable hw overlays

[CannaBioD]

I tested my mk808 with Finless 1.7c + 720p2dark4u kernel and it was much faster in Epic Citadel than V2.2.4 + 720p 2darku4 kernel.

1.7c + 2dark4u kernel scores average 54fps. (SetCPU 1,4GHz, performance)
V2.2.4 + 2darku4 kernel scores average 42fps. (SetCPU 1,4GHz, performance, noop)
