Tronsmart MK908 Android 4.2.2 "Official" - Finless ROM 1.5

[jevgenijo]

I tried the next test, but it does not work:

Create a file 0test into /system/etc/init.d

#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/initd_test.txt
echo "Hello Android" > /data/local/tmp/initd_test.txt

File permission is 755.
If there’s some scripts in /system/etc/init.d, then backup those files to your sdcard for later use. Sometimes, it’s hard to find the script running result and that’s the reason why I’m testing it by simply writing a file.
If you are done with creating a file, reboot your phone and go to the /data/local/temp directory.
If the initd_test.txt file is there and content is “Hello Android”, then it means that any other scripts in the init.d directory will be executed during the boot and you don’t need to follow this guide any more.

Thank you very much for your script.
I tried similar:

busybox mount -o remount,rw -t auto /systemif [ -e /system/preinstall/Test.log ]; thenrm /system/preinstall/Test.logfiecho "Ryuinferno @ XDA 2012" > /system/preinstall/Test.logecho "Init.d is working !!!" >> /system/preinstall/Test.logecho "excecuted on $(date +"%d-%m-%Y %r" )

And as I mentioned. It does work on MK808b v 1.7 but and it doesn't on MK908 v 1.5.

I had problems with this also, and though I´m not entirely sure this was the fix, I believe I had to go in with ES file explorer and make the script executable before it would work. Worth a try anyways. Good Luck!

Thanks you for quick reply.

I have tried setting the 777 chmod but this didn't help.
Also I tried putting the test script into the init.d

#!/system/bin/sh
#Init.d Test

busybox mount -o remount,rw -t auto /system


if [ -e /system/preinstall/Test.log ]; then
rm /system/preinstall/Test.log
fi


echo "Ryuinferno @ XDA 2012" > /system/preinstall/Test.log
echo "Init.d is working !!!" >> /system/preinstall/Test.log
echo "excecuted on $(date +"%d-%m-%Y %r" )




if [ -e /preinstall/Test.log ]; then
rm /preinstall/Test.log
fi

this didn't work either. looks like init.d is not suported in the MK908 FW.

Btw, this script worked on Finless 1.7 FW for mk808b, but when I added preinstallApk script, it didn't work either. What I'm doing wrong?
thank you for your help.

Finless bob, thanks a lot for your hard work! Amazing set of good apps!

I have faced an issue that the init.d doesn't fire the scripts I put into the init.d folder.

I just wonder if you could help.


I tried the Finless bob FW for MK808b with the embedded init.d and the script didn't work either.
I tested the script, if I add the apps into the /system/preinstall
and launch the script, the it works like a charm.


Could you please point me what am I doing wrong?
Do you have any example how to embed the init.d support into the kernel?

Finless bob, thanks a lot for your hard work! Amazing set of good apps!

I have faced an issue that the init.d doesn't fire the scripts I put into the init.d folder.

I just wonder if you could help.

I need for the apps to be installed on the first boot.
I do have a script which works on Minix X5:

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]#!/system/bin/sh
# preinstallApk
if [ ! -e /system/preinstall/.notfirstboot ]
then
    APKLIST=`ls /system/preinstall/*.apk`
    for INFILES in $APKLIST
    do
      pm install -r $INFILES
    done

    busybox touch /system/preinstall/.notfirstboot

fi
exit
[/FONT][/COLOR]

i tried adding the script inicialization into the init.rc in the ramdisk into the default MK908 kernell:

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]service script /system/etc/init.d/preinstallApk
    oneshot    
[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]
[/FONT][/COLOR]

as well I tried using the install-recovery.sh:


this script I added into the init.rc:

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh    class main    oneshot    
[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]install-recovery.sh:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]#!/system/bin/sh/system/bin/sysinit
[/FONT][/COLOR]

sysinnit:

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=arial]#!/system/bin/shexport PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin/system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/run-parts /system/etc/init.d
[/FONT][/COLOR]

and I tried adding the script preinstallApk into the init.d folder and it didn't work for me.

Bob where are you?

Hí,

Bob does not do upgrades mk908?

[debber1212]

MultiView on MK908

I'm flashing my Rom to 4.2.2. 1.5, but looking to see if there's the ability to run side by side apps like I do on my Galaxy s4. Is this a feature of the latest Finless ROM? If not is there a tweak available to enable this capability. I use my MK908 as my alternative to PC when working from home. I have email and browser as my main two applications and looking for a way to easily have them running side by side so I don't need to close out each app when i want to check email or what not.

Any help would be much appreciated all.

[czyndzel]

On mine MK908 III it doesn't work.

After successfull flash I connect dongle to TV and I have blinking screen, dongle starts to first configuration screen but during this screen is turning on for a 1-2 seconds and turning off (no signal) for next 2-3 seconds and again and again and again... At this time, useless ROM for us...

I have tried both versions - kernel+boot 720p and kernel+boot 1080p.

[veljance]

MK809 III

Should this rom work with the MK 809 III?

Why are you shouting?

It is not polite.

Signature? Signature!

[csjohnny]

I am really greatful to you and other developers for the kind of support you all are giving to people.

Its great that people are sharing their knowledge and helping out each other .

I read and used advises from this forum in the last 2 months .

I HAVE A REQUEST

COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE CHANGES TO FINLESS 1.5 ROM FOR MK908 INCORPORATING THE BLUETOOTH AND WIFI FIXES IN THE RECENT UPDATE FROM TRONSMART.

I HAVE SEEN YOUR UPDATED VERSION FOR TRONSMART T428 AS FINLESS 1.5A ROM .

BUT I COULDNT INSTALL 1.5A ROM FOR TRONSMART T428 IN MY MK908.SO CURRENTLY IAM USING FINLESS 1.5 IN WHICH BLUETOOTH IS ONLY PAIRING BUT NOT CONNECTING .ALSO WIFI SPEEDS ARE LOW AS 5Mbps at most times.

Now I HAVE DOUBT

Tried to change Build.prop file to solve app incompatibility in play store when I flashed the above mentioned tronsmart recent update with bluettoth fix. But the apps are still incompatible.Tried to change values for product,manufacturer,device etc.

If you are not planning to bring mk908 specific update of finless 1.5 rom .please advice me on how to tackle this incompatibility issue by changing build.prop

Thank you so much

NB: Advises are always welcome from anyone

I second this, he actually released a 3rd revision if you check the thread

I will upgrade and check if skipping is gone. Thx

[ghostwong]

OK folks... The "official ROM came out last night. So basically I did what I did to the BETA ROM.

Netflix WORKS! Also the kernel #21 in this is far more stable in my opinion.

So once again here is my ROM based on the Official 4.2.2 Tronsmart MK908 ROM.

Note: only difference is by POPULAR DEMAND, I change the size of the mouse pointer.

I am calling this a Finless 1.5 ROM to make sure there is no confusion with the BETA.

Enjoy,
Bob

Features and release notes for my MK908 4.2.2 1.5 ROM:

Features and release notes for my 1.5 ROM:

1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2

2) Stock ROM was only 2 Gig of APP space.
BUT you also have parameter file options!
There are also 1gb, 2gb, 4gb and 6gb options.
Read below for how to change that in the flash tool.
Realize if you use this 6gb option, internal SDcard will only have about 600 megs of free space!

3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.
I also updated Google Play to the latest version along with standard APPs.

4) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!

5) I re-enabled location services. This is now in the settings menu.
Tested and working with all APPs that use it.
Remember to turn off GPS as we have no GPS.

6) I also re-enabled accessibility options in settings.

7) Gameloft fix. This fixes Gameloft games from crashing to the desktop.
Many of them do not run and crash to the desktop. This is due to a license check based on the device.
Special thanks to Christian Troy for inventing this fix. I modded it for this ROM.

8) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
Yuor device will show up in google play as Samsung device nopt a MK908 or RKSDK! Understand this please.
I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a MK908.

9) RK Mirroring is enabled as always.
Also new to Android 4.2.2 is Wifi display.
If you have another 4.2.2 phone or tablet you can share your devices screen on your TV.

10) Remote Control using RK Remote APP is now fully supported!
In the ROM kit is a RKRemoteControl.apk.
NOTE: This is a NEW version and will not cause your TV stick to crash.
So if you have already installed RKRemote before you need to un-install it and re-install this version!!!!
You install this on your phone or tablet and now it can remotely control your TV player!
Just put the APK on sdcard or something and install it on your Android phone, tablet, etc.
ENJOY this one! I had a HARD TIME getting it to work!

11) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).

12) I have adjusted the mouse pointer size by request!
Stock rom was 55x55. The normal mouse pointer is 22x28 which is too small for many.
I made a 35x35 mouse pointer.
If you want to change that more discuss online and I will tell you how to do it.

13) 1080P Kernel if you want it! Tronsmart also released a 1080 kernel.
I have unpacked it from boot and made it a choice in this ROM package.
See instructions IN THE README for how to choose the correct boot.img and kernel.img
720P boot and kernel is the default setup in my flash tool.

For more information ALWAYS read the README in the ROM kit!
