Auto Frame Rate Fix APK on S905x and S912 firmware

[superceleron]

what version of spmc are you using?

[jmgandia]

I've tried from SPMC 16.5.1 to last version 16.5.4. I know that with Xanny's firmware auto refresh rate works with SPMC 16.5.4

[superceleron]

Dunno who is xanny's but it should work fine, and latest spmc is 16.5.5!
You can also try FTMC.

I think something prevents SPMC from changing hz. If I manually change the file /sys/class/display/mode, then frequency of display change. Xanny's firmware is this: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...see-first-post, and with this firmware ARR is working on the same box, so I think I have to change something more for it to work.

[superceleron]

check the permissions of the file! are you on stock rom? do you have root? did you give root access to the app?

[jmgandia]

Yes, I did all of this, and I know the app is working. I realized that the video settings regarding resolution and frequency on smpc are greyed out, so there is something different on other firmwares that spmc is not detecting and doesn't try to change hz.

[superceleron]

the only thing i can think is the fw is missing the supported display modes or cant read it from the TV!

[superceleron]

Check the /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap file and see if it have any the supported modes for your tv!

[jmgandia]

Sorry, I had to reflash the original firmware. /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0 is a file with no info, not a folder.

[superceleron]

/sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0 is a folder or a symlink the file that i mean is "disp_cap" .

[jmgandia]

/sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0 is a folder or a symlink the file that i mean is "disp_cap" .

I am using Root Browser and when I click this file it opens up a windows to select the type of file, I select 'text file' and it's empty. I will try a search.

[superceleron]

ok, so you open disp_cap and is empty! so there is your problem the box cant read your tv edid!
But to be sure, install other browser, like es file explorer enable root and see the file again if its still empty is a problem of communication!

[Xannytech]

Sorry to break your conversation but open terminal or adb shell and write:

cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap

you will have the edid list

[superceleron]

yes that also works ...
Now if that file is empty you have a problem!

[jmgandia]

/sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0 is a folder or a symlink the file that i mean is "disp_cap" .

You were right. It's a symlink to sys/device/virtual/amhdmitx?? (sorry, I don`t remember exactly the folder). There is a disp_cap with the video modes. That was not the problem. I installed the SelinuxModeChanger app and set the mode to permissive. After that SPMC was able to change the frame rate. Someone with the same problem should try and comfirm if this is the solution.

Thanks a lot.
