notShomari could you please explain in detail how you did this and please release your source code and kernel configs?
I have a rk3368 device with a RTL8723BS wifi chip and would love to use this.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am using a nexbox 809VI.

... it'll actually work fine on your device. And you can use the kernel of your choice; I didn't even bother with the kernel sources I have, it's all about the firmware.

So if I unpack the firmware.img All that I need to flash is the system.img and I will be overclocked?

... more like boot and resource, basically. That'll get you there. I plan on posting a detailed how-to on getting around the RK3368 big.LITTLE restraints soon. Remember, this is just a first step and I hope others join in to expand on this work. Keep in mind, my firmware has other changes that impact performance. But of course, my main goal was to remove the big.LITTLE hindrance on the RK3368, and I'm 95% there. Still a few bits left...

For the Z68 - please test. Different from above; it's based on previous mod I did using UT4* (edit) firmware for freakkid | this time to allow true multicore same as firmware in OP.

Hi notShowmari,
