    Tronsmart T428 Android 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 1.5A "Official"

    OK folks... Since Tronsmart just released a "official" 4.2.2 ROM for the T428, I decided to make a "Official" ROM instead of the BETA 1.5 that I made by porting the MK908 ROM.

    This ROM is the "about" the same as my 1.5 ROM but is made from the "official" T428 4.2.2 Release. I did not have to mess with the mouse pointer AND this time I remembered to add the RK Remote APP in the ROM kit. Sorry about that mistake last time.

    I am calling this a Finless 1.5A ROM to make sure there is no confusion with previous ROMs

    Testing Notes:
    1) BT now works for me. I can pair my mouse and it works.
    2) My C310 camera works but the camera APP itself will not record video or take pictures and it is unstable. Too much mouse movement will crash the camera APP.
    3) Skype will not work at all with my C610 camera.
    4) Netflix seems to work well. Less frame skipping than I have seen yet on any ROM.



    Enjoy,
    Bob

    Features and release notes for my T428 4.2.2 - 1.5A 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 and Google basic APPs to the latest versions.
    Except Google Search as that must be updated manually at this time.

    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 not a T428 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 stock.

    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).

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

        Thanks!

        Thanks Bob! I just registered to thank you!

        I have hanged around for a long while and followed the the progress of the "Android TV-stick scene".
        Thanks again!

        I just flashed with the BETA version, but I have 1 issue, I only get audio and no video on a swedish "On demand" app, Viasat Play. Dose anyone know what this can be due to? Or how I can solve this?

          So far here's what i've found

          Bluetooth works for me, and the camera I have an HP camera. Netflix works but still having an issue with Hulu plus. launch's fine but when you try to play something it says "strange... sorry an unknown error occured. Please try again or contact support."

          anyone else have this issue?

          thanks

            Firefox crashes, but browser works with flash, so no problem there. BBCiplayer streams well. TVcatchup gives error etc. Any tips on which XBMC app is good? I'm starting to get confused with so many ROMs in so short time.

              ME TOO! It's getting CRAZY which I expected.....

              I bet a new ROM will be out this week yet again.... It's starting to drive me crazy!

              I am taking a break and working on the CX-919 now.

                You deserve a break Bob, not sure how you even do it. I donated a month or so back but I think we need a "donate to Bob's new eyeglasses" fund. All this staring at text/computer screens has to be bad for your eyes. But thanks for all the hard work yo ! ! !

                    Video frame rate problems from 4.1.1

                    Looks like whatever was done in stock 4.2.2 (30/05) has been copied across from 4.1.1 causing the jittery playback issues (moving the pointer improves). Could this be something to do with the BT support?

                    This is a really big issue for me as the t428 is primarily used as a media player. The only viable ROM for me at the moment is stock 4.2.2.

                    Any suggestions?

                      Just tried the 1.5a. It works well. Better than the 1.4 did.

                      The only disturbing thing for me is that i can't get my C300 logitech webcam working. Camera app just crash.
                      Hangout too when i try a video call. Skype fails the video call.

                      Any suggestions to get my cam works in the cam app and maybe hangout?

                      Thanks again for the work.

                      (I tried with and without powered hub, and directly plugged to the stick, always the same result)

                        first impressions

                        - built in network manager still useless. Use ES Manager instead.
                        - much lower WIFI connection speed on 5 Ghz than on 2.4 Ghz. It was the same on 4.1.1 ROM.
                        - seems to have very limited usable webcam capability. My c905 doesn't work.

                        - video playback still much worse concerning 1080p than expected (from a "good" ROM based on it's technical specs.)

                          Found a strange bug. I think is a bug atleast. When I set the resolution to 1920x1080 60hz I can no longer see subtitles no matter what movieplayer I use (ie archos, vlc, plex, mx player). Buf if I lower the resolution to 1280x768 it works fine. Not sure what to make of it.

                            I tested me too!

                            Hey!
                            I also looked at the ruins. Coding of the video hardware is better, but still has a two-film that falters. The C170 camera works, but moved for cursor stops. The micro camera mic does not work, usb sound card, either. Did not detect audio input. The ethernet works, but it's better off incised recap, it restarts the machine! 2TB external storage devices work well tested. However, they can not be separated. USB OTG helper is not entered into the sd card. The store allows more programs to download.

                            Thank you for your work Finless Bob!
