T428 Nexus Rom SDK2 and Multi-Windows - Official

[cityhunter]

Just found out (by accident) that the 'External Keyboard Helper' app, which I use for enabling Finnish keyboard layout on my Logitech K400r, maps the Escape key to 'back' by default. This seems to work with all apps except XBMC.

One more item checked on my usability list.

@Strauzo: Please, PLEASE, fix multi-disk mounting in the next version. (It is the last item missing from my list now that I have a 'back' button and USB sound is working through SoundAbout).

android by default maps esc=back, you don't need external keyboard helper for that, pretty much everything should work on the k400r without much tinkering needed.

Alright. But I use the app anyway to easily enable Finnish keyboard layout on my K400r. It's one of the best purchases (along with MX Player Pro) I have made.

Also for me is perfet. Infact i use it as every day rom

We must only see how android 4.3 works on rk3188. For now we have already all that rockchip can update in future for other devices. Sdk2 and multiwindows.

But i'm happy of the very stable performanes of video playback 720p and 1080p in every media player and in all condictions.

But specially without overclock the kernel that can burn your device in so little space and without good heatsinks.

The problem of overclock is not only heatsinks, infact this devices already suffer of insufficient power, with overclock the problem is increased making the device unstable under some conditions.

We have also the best antutu score with a standard kernel.

This is only what strauzo think. And i respect the thoughts of others.

ok. i flashed the cube sdk2 firmware on my device and have to say, im shocked!
there is no need for more than 1 kernel on sdk2 firmware,
resolution can be changed on the fly with a simple swich in settings (normal/hd). you can swich betwen 720p/real1080p/upscaled1080p.

So does this nexus rom have this (normal/hd) setting or it is just in the cube's rom ?

My thoughts are: Give people what they want (unless you're catering just for yourself).

Users who request for an overclocked kernel are, at least in most cases, aware of what they are in for. Some, like me, have purchased sufficient power supplies and arranged for better heat dissipation. I'm not a kernel developer but shouldn't it be possible to set the default max frequency of these oc'd kernels at 1,608GHz just like it is in a standard kernel? It would then be up to the oc'er to enable the higher frequencies with an appropriate tool.

When I tested phjanderson's oc'd kernel at 1,8GHz with Lewy's Minix ROM, my T428 ran much cooler than with any other kernel I've tested, even without an additional heatsink.

The same goes for 1080p kernels. If people want them, please give them the option to use one. For me a 1080p kernel offers an overall sharper picture and much clearer font rendering on my 52" professionally calibrated FullHD TV.

Just my €0.02.

By the way, Strauzo, does the kernel included in the nexus rom (or the 1080p kernel I'm currently using) have support for the ASIX AX88178 Chipset? I've been thinking about getting one of these to replace my current RJ45 adapter. This page has a review of the device but I couldn't find an exact answer about Android support in the article.

I must see in the kernel configuration. I not remember. As you know i'm in vacation and in this moment i have with me only my tablet and my phone.

We can add all that we want in kernel if it is possible.

Nexus rom sdk2 muktiwindows in only a first step to have a full working stable true android rom without chinese things in the android source code. From the and of august we can add other functionality, if this not ruine the stability of the rom / kernel

I try only to have an original android without strange modifications, and i don't wont transform a mobile os in a desktop os. Android in Linux as a good user write above.

Linux development is other thing and i already tested also this on t428 (read first post in experimental thread)

Sure. No hurry. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

I used the qube rom on my ug007b and to my surprise it booted , but my F10 air mouse
Or any other wirless mouse and keyboard doesn't work , i guess it is because the rom is
Pre-configured for touch controls , i can't modify anything because neither the mouse nor
The keyboard work , so can you please post the kernel configuration file or whatever makes
This rom read the F10 air mouse ?

[lewy20041]

conect mouse to otg.
it will work

[opengl1971]

conect mouse to otg.
it will work

Thanks very much for the info.

Hey Strauzo any chance that when you get back to working on your Roms you could update the kernel for the MK908/CX913, I'm currently using it with nexus rom but I think the version in the kernel thread is still based of SDK1 is it not?

Scaling issue fixed. Thanks Sam... That made finally this ROM usable to me!

Finally I can see the whole of the screen, my scaling issue fixed

Thanks Sam... This solution made the Strauso ROM usable to me!

echo 90 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/scale

and to easily scale down your display just download this http://www.cloudstor.es/file/m1_NDk0MQ/ and put it in system/etc/init.d and reboot
