HPH NT-V8 RK3368 Marshmallow ROM by mo123

[Shomari]

I can run whatever benchmark you'd like on my LL firmware running on Z4 and match it against whatever 'premium' device runs Nagrace firmware, MM, N, doesn't matter, and I can guarantee it'll score 15-25% better in the RAM categories, conservatively.

I thought we dispelled the 'cheap components' narrative when it came to these devices long ago. Among the RK3368 they're all comparably built. Many, many firmwareb builds, and endless amounts of testing and debugging solely focused on performance tuning with demonstrable results has led me to this conclusion; all my firmware releases have a primary focus on performance, above all else, so I'm not speaking out of place here.

[Shomari]

That's AnTuTu 6.3.3 run on a $50 Z4 with LL firmware, 5.1.1. (run like a day ago, and I can run it back, to back, to back, it always scores the same)

Your firmware running MM on Nagrace boxes cannot match that performance. Wouldn't it be ridiculous, though, to claim that it's because Nagrace boxes are 'inferior and use cheap components'? It's especially bogus when you've never inspected them side by side in the first place. It's all biased speculation.

The 'inferior component' performance gap in RK3368 boxes is a myth at best, biased conjecture at worst.

Let's all try to be a little more objective and reasoned with the advice we impart.

It has nothing to do wth 'slow, unstable ram', mo123 is incorrect and doesn't even own the Z4.

Mo123's firmware is built specifically for Nagrace devices, so it follows that it won't run correctly, if at all, on the Z4, due to differences in component configurations, etc.

I have two Z4's I use for testing, they knock the socks off any RK3368/S905/S912x - especially in the ram department. It's not about component selection, it's about firmware, firmware matching, and configurations on a per-device level.

You did a great job with your fw, its very fast. But when i was watching iptv , box switched off couple of times . What is the problem, what do you think? Mostly i use my z4 for watching iptv.

It can be because of the device getting too hot and the heatsink or cooling is not adequate.
Check if you can put a bigger heatsink on or use a USB fan if possible.
You should also test the power supply to make sure it is stable or use a new one with 3A output, not the cheap ones usually shipped with tv boxes that have half the actual output that's written on them.

We should take questions about the Z4 over to one of my threads and not cloud mo123's thread any further. I haven't seen any reports of overheating, and if the device shuts down abruptly that's a power issue not heat.

It won't shutdown due to throttling or heat. One of the f first things I did when constructing the cpu hack was to disable RK's throttling controls; in other words, there's no framework for the system to shut down based on cpu heat at all on my builds. Believe it or not.

If you'd like you can try my next update, it's better tuned in many ways particularly for playback, but Mo123 is spot on about the power supply recommendation.

(pardon the thread pollution Mo123, I'm out)

Hi Mo ,

What Windows are you using?
If you check on the bottom statusbar in Window Explorer, My Computer it shows the size in MB.
If you right click the file and choose properties, it will also show the size in bytes tht will be different.

Hi Mo ,

please read Post #208 & #209 on Page 14 there are the Infos you need ,

even Bug/error Infos .

First the AudioRouting works great now , no double Sound anymore .

Mo if i listen to Music and make a Screenshot the Music gets 50% louder

for a sec. or so . I tried to mount two USBDevices one in the stock Port beside

the OTG & the other in the OTG Port but only the "beside" mounted . Thats what

i found in the last hours of course the reported Bugs from #208/#209 too .

There are still some small corrections with Translations , but this i will send

you with ScrSHots. & txt.File in PM within a few Days .

The System runs really good only stupid this strange "PowerOff" Bug on my UT4 ,

until now nobody else reported something like that .

Thanks again for all your hard work until now , have a nice Day .

Greetings

OK
For the OTG port, did you disable connect to PC in the Settings - USB
otherwise it won't work.

Hi Mo. Can I install new firmware 1.3 on Tronsmart R68G ? Will it fit?

[gefattern]

Hi Mo ,

of course i did not , i try and report , yes it works now , did not know it , thanks .

Mo can you say anything about the Size Problem with the latest Rom ??? ,

and why the Box stays running after Shutdown (Fan/bluePowerLight) ???

thats all first , have a nice Easter .

When you say 'jumping' what happens, how does it sound?

sound cut.

Hi Mo ,

first of all , i can not find the "Startpage""Start-Launcher" entry in the Settings , like

in the Roms before . I forgot to report this last Days . You dit not delete that , or ???

One more Translation , for the Reboot Menu , please use "Schlafen" not "Schlaf" ,

and a Screenshot of the "@2131...." Reboot Frame ??? Error :

I'm now making a Ugoos UT4 ROM.
I looked at the HPH launcher translations and the days and "nicht verfügbar" is already translated correctly.
I think the launcher might only be optimized for Chinese and English languages and have trouble with others.
So now I think the Ugoos launcher might display German better.
I sent you the translations, that you can just check if they are correct.
