HPH NT-V8 RK3368 Marshmallow ROM by mo123

[gefattern]

Hi Mo123 ,

that sounds nice , for me no need for T8C , i use it in "performance" Mode and all runs well and fluid ,

would be a nice extra but not a must .

greetings / gefattern

[mo123]

Oh, I thought it was commonly known..

T8C is the acronym for True Octa Core...

Meant is the ability to run all 8 Cores at full speed simultaneously , in case of rk3368 8x1,6 GHz instead of 4x1,2GHz and 4x1,5Ghz.

True Octacore means actually 8 Cores in a single die.

Shomari used this expression (T8C) to describe his achievement to run the RK3368 at 2x4x1,6Ghz and that's what i meant.

Hi

I will check if I can add it but it might be difficult as code is hex and source code use decimal numbers that is completely different, you can't just add it as it will cause bootloops.
But will have to test it first if there are no negative side effects if I can get it to work.
I don't like to overclock the CPU as it doesn't provide a sufficient performance increase and degrade lifespan of devices.
Overclocking the RAM, VPU has a far greater increase in overall performance and video playback.

Hi Mo123 ,

i found a still existing spelling Error in German , under "about Device" "Compability" , the "nur" Error

still exist .

Wrong "Diese Firmware ist für den Einsatz auf offiziellen Nagrace HPH RK3368 Android TV Boxen nur ."

Right "Diese Firmware ist nur für den Einsatz auf offiziellen Nagrace HPH RK3368 Android TV Boxen geeignet ."

I hope you will fix this in a later Version , any news about this ???

have a nice Day Mo123 , greetings / gefattern

Hi

I will update that.
Will also provide a small improvement for passthrough audio.

Hi mo123,

is there a specific reason why you don't implement the T8C power in your Roms?

This would offer a complete new experience in speed and power for your Roms...

Thanks in advance

Hi ,

once more , please let us discuss your "boot" Problem here , better .

I think it has todo with the extra "ShutdownMenu.apk" that Mo123 made for this Rom ,

you can try to use the Stock one , like i do , but for this you have to delete the other one .

greetings / gefattern

'Scraping' - getting video file information and posters to show in an app like Kodi/other media player app.
I think there are some files renamed incorrectly, maybe file names are too long or contain strange characters that Kodi can't read or there might be a corrupted video file somewhere that make Kodi crash.
erpenstine can try some PC software that does auto file renaming, there are some apps that rename all your media like name-season-episode.
Then can split all the media files in eg. 5 parts and scrape the 1st part folders and check if there are no crashes playing some of those files, then try the 2nd part folders etc. until you find out what folders/files cause the crashing and remove them.
Also try the latest Kodi 18 64-bit nightly as older versions might also have bugs with scraping perhaps.

So am I, are you playing from a HDD or streaming via a pc network? as soon as my stuff starts scraping is when it bombs out my media center, do u have a UT4?

Hi mo123 Any news on the Android 7 release?

I'll try to find out.
But I think only new RK3328, RK3399(both already run Nougat) &, RK3229, RK3288 will get Nougat.

Hi mo123 Any news on the Android 7 release?

Firstly, thank you for replying immediately with help, I tried a number of steps on both Windows and Linux, but of no avail.

1. Yes, I did install the drivers (on Windows 10 Pro). However, the device is not getting recognized. I opened up Device Manager to check for names with Unknown/Rock device, but none was displayed.
2. I tried setting these as well: SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE and FULLSPEEDUSB=TRUE, in the config.ini file for the Rockchip tool, but still didn't get recognized
3. Then I tried DriverAssistant and FactoryTool from your tip. That didn't work either.
4. To verify it's not an issue with Windows, I connected the device to a Linux machine and tried with Rockchip Linux Upgrade Tool as well (git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/lollipop_RKTools.git). Instructions from http://www.hotmcu.com/wiki/Flashing_..._Rockchip_Tool. That does not recognize either.
5. I did verify that the RK3368 box does go into Recovery mode with both Windows and Linux when keeping the reset pin pressed, connecting to PC, followed by connecting power
6. Since none of the above worked for me, I tried one last step of creating a upgrade disk (sd card). Instructions from http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/downl...tool-v1-4.html. On booting with this, the display is just blank. I patiently waited for 20 minutes before removing power to ensure I don't brick the device while the flash might be getting updated. Rebooted to see the firmware was booting stock! So nothing had happened. I tried this process twice, but with the same result.

I'm clueless now. Would it possible to make an update.zip file that we can flash from recovery? There is some updater script and other files that details what goes into which partition etc., but I'm not good with the internals. If you can guide me, I can try to make one (hopefully I don't brick it though)!

Update: I used another cable and flashed the ROM successfully. God knows why the earlier cable I used worked while transferring data and charging and wouldn't work for the PC detecting the Android box, but I bought a new cable and got around the problem.

Observation: This ROM is just superfast! Especially coming from Zidoo's Lollipop stock, one can perceive the difference; apps load in a snap. There are a few crashes here and there, but are minor.

Many thanks mo123 for being patient with users and continuing to update your ROM. Cheers.

Did you install the drivers?
Then follow this guide
