Hi, Mo
source link http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showt...ost&p=88728062
1/ here is the link to the source code RK3368 Nougat by Cubelibre
git clone https://github.com/cubelibre/nougat_kernel_v99hero.git
2/ kernel with working spdif
https://yadi.sk/d/UAvUWl-AyoCmAA

That won't help for Zidoo,
but could be useful for other devices.

If it's possible to get the /device/rockchip/rk3368 and /device/rockchip/common folder too from the SDK,
I might be able to build a Nougat firmware.
I read somewhere the user also modified those from Mashmallow Geekbox to build Nougat firmware, but I don't know what was modified.
Marshmallow used a 3.10 kernel while Nougat uses a 4.4 kernel which really complicates things since drivers are completely rewritten while from Lollipop to Marshmallow both still uses a 3.10 kernel which made firmware building a lot easier.
If some manufacturer could just release Android Pie SDK for RK3368, it would work the best, but I think 99% of manufacturers abandoned RK3368 already

Unless Zidoo can provide me with their ir remote source code or a Marshmallow kernel source code with how they added the ir remote and power drivers, I can't do anything.
I'm only aware of Zidoo X6 Lollipop firmware which won't help me at all.
Best would be to just use an airmouse.

hello!

I hope this would be helpfully for you ... zidoo x6 MM

I can't do anything with that.
It's a ripoff of my Marshmallow ROM not even meant for a Zidoo X6.

I had reported those for Marshmallow. Would it at least be possible to fix them on MM?

Can't fix any of those as there is no Nougat stock firmware for the Zidoo X6 to compare with.

Hi ,

i flashed the 7.1 dump of V99 to my UT4 , it booted & worked , but i had no Wifi

and the Rom was for sure full of Bugs , but not really tested ,

greetings / gefattern

There were too many bugs for me like apps running upside down, bad Kodi playback, Youtube showing a black screen etc.
If the firmware was in a better shape I might have been able to improve it a bit, but most of the fixes need to be done in the source code which I don't have.
Maybe if I have time, I can test it again a bit.

I'm now experimenting with Oreo on RK3328 that already boots.

These are at least three issues on the Zidoo X6 Pro (RK3368):

1. Powering off the box doesn't actually power off, but reboots.
2. A couple of sub-menu items in Settings crash
3. The IR remote control working on stock, doesn't work with this ROM. I'm using a Mele F1 2.4GHz Wi-Fi based remote, but it intereferes with the router.

If you can make a list of fixes needed, I can look again, not sure what to fix.

I tried bottom navigation bar, change from box to tablet but then get a bootloop, don't think it works. It will cause lots of other problems if you change it to tablet.
Youtube only showed a black screen.
Firmware doesn't use mpp codecs so video playback is bad.
Can't fix Kodi playback or HD Audio support

It is definitely fake.
The same device a few months ago showed Lollipop then Nougat now Pie.

I don't have Android development experience, but have experience in C and firmware programming. Do let me know if you need help in porting Nougat (given that cubelibre posted a video of a personal build).

We could at least prolong 3368 boxes like the Zidoo X6 Pro for some more time. Also, calling for more developers with Android experience; if anyone is out there in this thread, please holler, so we can get this ball rolling.

4PDA community would be very grateful to you and Mo123 for Nougat RK3368

[hoodafukisalice]

Thanks for explaining.
Because filename had name of V99 device dump, I also understood it to be firmware dump of such device because no manufacturer released firmware link for RK3368 Nougat yet and it would be impossible for someone to make RK3368 Nougat on their own.

I really want to fix the bugs, but there are so many and it's almost impossible to fix some things, then the firmware is also based on 2 year old code(very first RK3368 Nougat beta v1.0 SDK released in beginning of 2017) with old drivers, bugs. Even Rockchip is a bit shocked some company like Scishion use such old code to make firmware in June 2018 I think.

But for RK3368, Geekbox(that released LP, Marshmallow SDK) or other companies, they only released Marshmallow and also told me they have no interest to support RK3368 anymore.
So without support of different companies to release RK3368 Nougat code, some bugs can't be fixed.

I hope to test some more and try to fix a few bugs then release a new ROM, but time is very limited.

I use RK3328 as main device now since it's so much better than RK3368, RK3229, RK3288 now and also supports LibreELEC for 4K video with 23.976fps support, RK3328 will also get Android Pie 9.0 AndroidTV firmware around January 2019 with Amazon Prime Video HD, so it stays updated.
