RK3368 04/2017 True Octacore Firmware

[Guest]

Guest I don't have that remote and I understand it's proprietary to Mele boxes as far as compatibility goes, so it'll mostly be on you to do the debugging work.

Install Logcat Extreme and reproduce the issue and upload the logs, that'll help me determine if a solution for your case is possible.

Used a sound recorder . Here is the log file Log_2017-04-14_17-17-23.txt

I don't know which is preferred. I would guess the 'true octacore' if we went by number of downloads.

But that's assuming that would even be valid way to gauge interest and that the download numbers are accurate. So who knows?

As soon as I get a little more time I'll PM you.

You can always take the boot/resource/kernel from my firmware (or at least the boot/resource) and add it to whatever build you're making or putting together. If you have any questions about how something works or doesn't work, just let me know. I know some of these images are tricky compatibility wise.

Guest get some logs with soundabout in use with the mele mic as you would use it. That's the only way to see what's actually occurring with what you actually use

[cOOLio]

Damn I was that close already last week

It's working ... OC & T8C

BTW ... voice recording works with my rom with boath USB ports. tested with a USB mini mic and aLogitech USB cam.
And I saw that the following is missing in your sources. Maybe it helps.

init.rc

 # for usb audio
    chmod 0666 sysclassswitchusb_audio_playbackstate
    chmod 0666 sysclassswitchusb_audio_capturestate
    chown system system sysclassswitchusb_audio_playbackstate
    chown system system sysclassswitchusb_audio_capturestate

Will start right now with testing and benchmarks.

[cOOLio]

Wow dude I'm pretty impressed about your work.

Will prepare right now some screen shots, with a some interesting information (may even you not know) about your outstanding power horses. every body wish to have on his horse-drawn carriage.

The voice recording works in the firmware but they say there's something going in with the switching back and forth of audio sources specifically with the Mele remotes that causes the mic to stop working when using soundabout..

Yes , the mic itself and audio plays from remote good when soundabout is not installed. But audio is not comming out from tv at that moment. If i install sa apk , i can switch between audio autputs, but then it breaks mic,, There was some options in ugoos fw in settings in sound device manager to change inputs and outputs.

[Shomari]

...yup, that's exactly what cOOLio posted above with the new system class. I've never used that so don't know what effects it might have overall but it should be just fine.

[Shomari]

Guest flash this boot, it includes the nodes mentioned above by cOOLio , maybe his suggestion helps, and it does come from the Ugoos rom so maybe it'll do it.

Nope, it does not solve the problem..

[Shomari]

Nope, it does not solve the problem..

I didn't think so. There's probably more to it. I think he's working on some sort of mashup with the Ugoos rom so it'll probably work there

[cOOLio]

OK here we go.

Lets first start with the kudos.

Here are my thoughts about my first test results.


[ 3D Performance ]

My current V2.0 release is fast and stable. But definitely not as fast as my upcoming "Shomari OC & OTC Ready" V3.0 release. But why are these Bonsai 3D Benchmarks better with my current V2.0 release? Maybe because I updated today also my OpenGL drivers, to the same newer version, Shomari uses in his Z4 4PDA rom!? This must be tested. But as I said already before. Shomari newest release for the Z4, looks already fast and stable. Ok, stable must be still tested in long terms. But it looks already promising.


[ CPU Performance ]

Shomaris T8C is real True OctaCore, thats for sure. But his OC version looks also pretty good, even if the Little Cluster is not at 1600 GHz as he promised. But bath version are nearly a the the same speed/performance. And you can feel this speed. Nearly every click on my remote is much faster and smoother then before. But lets come back to the T8C & OC comparison. The T8C feels a bit smoother, but that is a objective comparison. But the T8C has the shutdown bug. That's definitely a win for the OC version, because it hasn't this bug.



I will start right now with longterm tests (gaming, watching movies and all this magic shit you can do with these boxes). Ohh, I've checked already my whole house, to find a 5V 3K-5K A power adapter, with the right plug. But had no success. So I will start all my test with the stock power adapter. But maybe that's the best way to start. Because that's exactly what the most of the others users have.

Ill be back ...

[Shomari]

There has to be work to raise that performance, I think. Too low.

I never get less than 47,800 in anTuTu 6.3.3. I don't know what that Bonsai benchmark is but I'll run it on my boxes and check the results.

Still, I think some users would like the TV launcher version so it's a good option. Plus, it's good to see someone else pull for the users. I made a true octacore version of the Ugoos firmware, it's in the Ugoos thread. I didn't get a single post or mention of feedback. So I never bothered with it again, myself.

[Shomari]

Oh - and I'm highly interested in the tests with your version. But users should still test the full 'true octacore' version independently because they're bound to have different results in different areas, etc.
