HPH NT-V8 RK3368 Marshmallow ROM by mo123

[mo123]

hello, is it possible to enable hdmi-cec in HPH NT-V8 Marshmallow ROM V1.3 (10-04-2017)?

I will just check if it is enabled.
But it is not possible for me to test this.

... and the resource.img from the firmware as well, just in case

bangprovn Andro_James here's the kernel from mo123 firmware, some users believe it contains fixes to remedy the audio 'stutter' on devices such as i68/r68 etc.

Please let us know if you notice anything in any tests or usage.

Hello and congratulations for the good work.
I have a Beelink I68 clone (Andoer)
I have installed your Rom and works fine, even passthrough 5.1
The problem is the WiFi that doesn't work, doesn't start.
With other custom roms always worked replacing /etc/firmware/nvram_AP6335.txt with nvram_AP6330 but this time the fix didn't work.
Can you confirm the wifi chip of the HPH is AP_6335? Or is it different? Can you provide a fix or at least a hint

I'll be working on porting the Nagrace firmware to all devices to support AP6330, and perhaps adding minor improvements such as raising DDR freq (there's no reason a TV box should be scaling ddr frequencies, and Nagrace ram runs below 600mhz, it should be at 800mhz constant for example)

Unless users want me to just leave it as is and simply port the wireless chipset. Please let me know..

Link to new firmware v1.3 (1)
(Link removed, see OP for new firmware)

Added German translations.
Added new shutdown screen with Sleep option.

hi,
i use this firmware beacause for 1.3 (2)
i have jump sound problem and shift sound.

Dear sir. Your firmware is great, but on some TVs the Philips screen periodically changes to green/pink. Could you fix it?

You can ask the manufacturer of your tv box to provide the latest SDK, firmware that may help you, since the Geekbox code is very old.

... positively ancient.

The only sources I have of recent are from 01/17, aside from some patches.

Based on what I encounter, yes, it's related to disk usage. I noticed everytime I play some video while downloading something (I download to internal storage and playing video in my drive), it caused audio stutter, I've tried many things like updating the player lib but no use. And I'm very sure the fix is in kernel as when I flashed mo's kernel and reproduce the audio stutter, it's not there any more.

To reduce stuttering, you can do this
1, Root your device
2,Install this app

3,Remount Youtube's cache folder to external storage(sd-card)
Youtube's cache folder is here:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.google.android.youtube/cache/exo

For Kodi use an advancedsettings.xml file to cache to RAM instead of disk.

bangprovn nice!

bangprovn you still haven't said what device you have. I don't think mo123 has a fix and he's keeping it secret. I think, as I've been trying to explain, that if it's kernel related - which is as of yet undetermined - it's a fix for some devices but kind of by luck. That happens. I especially consider this to be the case as his fixes , as always, are for Nagrace devices, specifically. That the devices suffering from audio stutter other than Nagrace ended up fixed seems purely coincidental.

Remember, I don't have that issue, or the other related symptom of dropouts as seen with Wasser firmware. Only a subset of devices have this problem, based on that I guess you have a I68/R68, or to a lesser degree possibly a csa91... yes?

Andro_James I'm not so sure mo123 has the 'fix' and is keeping it proprietary (or secret) to prevent its use. If it's kernel related, that doesn't need to be done, as the kernel sources are not public and thus any related methods are already obfuscated in the binaries.

As I've said before, I'm neither promoting or discouraging the decompilation of the Nagrace firmware, but it's trivial to take the Nagrace kernels with the supposed fix and use them with my or any other firmware.

Any dtb (resource image) from my firmware, with the exception of the ones in archives specifically marked 'Z4', can be used with mo123's kernels.

Jura already did that and posted it on 4PDA, it's trivial to do so.

It's undetermined whether the 'fix' is in the kernel or in some shared object. We've all seen the audio thread, I was the top poster, still am, and I don't even have the devices that are affected, and mine has never been affected. I never required immediate responses, simply responses. Users made the choice to decline to participate.

It's not unique to my threads. I've seen requests from mo123 for tests go completely without response on several occasions. It's an unfortunate thing that hinders progression.
