T428 Study and Research on Experimental Firmwares

[neoal]

Indeed, you'll be surprised with what you can do with just a few watts! It really makes you wonder what your desktop needs all that energy for

What are we expecting? I also have a RK3066, the dual core predecessor. It works fine and plays most video content quite smoothly. It has some issues with webcams (often got a green bar on the cam) but that seems to be fixed in the latest 4.2 release. Overall I was and still am very satisfied with the RK3066. From this experience I expected the RK3188 to be only better / faster. It turns out the video playback is kind of jerky, esp if you set the display to 60hz. Strauzo found a fix for it, his kernel and rom is available it this thread. His kernel hardly supports any accessories like webcams or BT keyboards though. For that you're best off with the latest T428 stock kernel (works fine with my C210 webcam and BT keyboard/mouse):

http://www.tronsmart.com/download?key=Tronsmart%20T428

So depending on what you're planning to do you could choose for strauzo's kernel / rom or the latest stock rom with the hdmi set to 50hz.

well phjanderson its everyone choice as you say, see which one fits better to your needs.

For Phjanderson

What camera model do you want ? I don't have one but i can try to help you with camera.

Only for camera no bt keyboard. Because there are better mode to control an android hdmi stick.

My kernel is generic rk3188 kernel not k-r42 kernel.

In the stock rom in which camera work there are also specific library for camera ? What is the stock firmware in which your camera work ?

Tomorrow i can see this for you.

i want to use this with my measy BT air mouse. It works intermittently on tronsmart 'official' ROMs and not at all on strauzo or Measy 'official' ROMs. The combination works fine on the Allwinner A31 stick

I think you are missing the point. Strauzos rom and kernel are built to be handled by droidmote. It has been stated more than once already.

CloudnetGo CR9 Porting

Hi Folks,
I ported this Rom in a very basic way to the CloudnetGo CR9. This Rom is very fast it boots up in about 3 secs. Thank you very much for your work strauzo!!!
Also the Logitech K400 Keyboard is working out of the box. But there is one issue or lets say two:
Wifi and Bluetooth aren't working.
I tried to use Neomodes kernel from here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...loudnet-Go-CR9
But no luck with this...
Can someone help me pls?

Thanks

ehomemediacenter

Read the post above and you understand. i don't want help those who produce FAKE ANDROID.

But it seems that the problem is me and not the one who sold you a badly behaving device.

Complain with Rockchip if you want something, not with me.

I have to work to resolve the incompetence of others. the world does not work that way ', those who make mistakes must pay publicly.

And Rockchip produce only FAKE CHINESE ANDROID NOT STANDARD

The video problem is only a specific problem, the serious problems are others, not standard chinese rom in wich many apps from google paly are incompatible.

I want the Android hdmi sticks FREE from this crap.

1) remove the bad input managment system part or correct it.
2) remove rkremote from the source code of android (an uninstallable app can be good)
3) remove the bad hdmi settings from the source code that ruine many things
4) make standard systemui
5) correct ehomemediacenter that create many wifi problems and make crazy some routers.

in this way we can start talking.

is this what is killing my home network? i am now running nexus rom

Nexus rom is not build to be handled by droidmote specifically.

With droidmote you can handle every android mini pc, tablet or phone. (for me the best way. fast, simple and complete)

The Nexus rom is a standard android rom that you can find in every tablets or phones. And don't contain chinese source code within the android source code.

Is hard to understand ?

Air mouse for me are mouse with Parkinson's disease unconfortable and difficult to use

A big keyboard bluetooth is ridiculus because with a so small android mini pc i use on my couch a so big keyboard ? (old story we are in 2013 and we have smart phone)

With a mini bluetooth keyboard is hard to write.

But mainly, apart the mouse and keyboard, to control a remote android device we need a serious way to do multitouch actions on many apps like google maps , google plus , browser, pinch to zoom.
Like the indirect multitouch touchpad of droidmote.

Yes the app ehomemediacenter present in stock rom and custom rom based on stock rom, some times make my router crazy and slow down all my wifi connections in my local area network.

This app is not present in the Nexus rom like many others chinese problematic codes and apps

I completely get your point! But why not just include the libraries needed for BT keybords etc. anyway? Would it hurt that much? And people would stop complaining about it. I guess there are just many people that bought a stick together with a BT remote control of any kind and would also like to use it. Otherwise it would have been a complete waste of money. Secondly maybe not everyone has another android device to use droidmote on.

Is not possible to include? Then sorry for my question. If its about the chinese source code, is there no other way to make peripherals work?

I guess everybody who bought a BT remote device would highly appreciate your dedication to make them work. Since ofcourse everyone wants to profit from your awesome fix for the video stutter peoblem. As you are the only one currently having a solution. Or maybe someone else can help to handle these things? Its not like you have to do all the work! I'm certain that there are other developers on here quite capable of handling such things.

Anyway i don't mean to undermine you. I just wanted to explain other users ooint of view.

And thanks for the useful rom!

helppppppppppp im lost

guys i need some help really. i wanted to do a rom dump from the t428 and i was installing the drivers and everything went ok. but i started to see that the stick started to act crazy because it was being powered from the usb port of my pc. for that i thought smth. i cut the usb cable and connected the red and black to the powered supply while connecting the white and green to another usb cable connected to my main pc. i thought this way i would power the stick enough and the data will go to the pc but nop. my pc recognises the stick as an unknown device. i changed the cable with an other one but it still doesnt recognize the stick it says unknown device. i uninstalled all drivers and tried reinstalling them but still nothin. tried to install drivers after pressing reset button still nothing. pluged the device on another pc with windows xp and it says the same thing, unknown device. pls any help would be great. thx. i only hope i havent fried it. thx

With a little time you can have all by me.
(if it is possible and should not be in contrast with other more important things)
Don't worry. I have only two hands but i work every days.
I also have contributed enough. I think.
I also hope that someone can help me to add these other little things.
thanks.

I know that its not built for droidmote specifically. Your opinion is however very clear that droidmote is your preferred way of controlling the device. So much so in fact that everyone that wants to do it another way are treated rather rude.

It is hard to understand why you aren't showing some humility and try not to be so condescending.

Trying to help is generally more appreciated than telling people to do stuff your way.

When watching a 1080p movie, with this 720p rom, the tv reports a 720p input, always. Image quality is very good, but don't have any evidence that I'm watching 1080p content.

Have you tried editing '/sys/devices/virtual/display/display0.HDMI/mode'? When I set the contents of this file to '1920x1080p-50', my TV reports this exact mode and scales the display perfectly.

I will do my best.
