[ROM] Z4 RK3368 - android TV (ATV) for Andoer Z4 - ENY EKB368 - Acemax AK838 - Tronfy X6

[cOOLio]

ap6335.
I used "Z4_RK3368-android_TV(ATV)-by_cOOLio-V2.5_BRE.img"

Makes sense with a AP6335. So it's the same as all other Z4 boxes. But which file did you flash before to get such strange issues and test results?

BTW ... did you check already the Benchmarks? AnTuTu, Geekbench 4, ...?

And the biggest file I,m able to stream via Kodi and WiFI (5GHz 480Mbit connection), without any buffering, is a 16GB mkv file. But that's also my biggest file. So maybe there is more possible!?

EDIT

And finally ... Opera ATV is only good for browsing to read news, forum, etc. Download will not work at all with Opera ATV. That's also the reason why I add Chrome as second Browser to V2.5 BRE.

Now wifi seems it is working. I could stream a 4gb film in kodi with a 9mbps line without buffering.
This is mine: https://www.amazon.es/Octa-Core-Andr.../dp/B015DYH1MW
I'll try to open it
Thanks for your help and work.

PERFECT

Which files did U use to flash your YUNTAB RK3368 box?

[koes]

I like to help and share my knowledge. So no worries.

That's strange test results? Looks like somthing is not working properly, like a wring WiFi driver!?
Are you sure that you got a Z4? What's about your network issue? Is it still there. Does your WiFi work now? Did you ever open the box and cheked the WiFI chip label?
Maybe your box is a Andoer Z4L? Looks exactly the same, but has a different WiFi chip. If so, check my post above and try to flash a different KRS file.

sorry if you think that they are stupid questions, but everyone is not as clever as you.
I've read this from the first day you post and I wanted to test it but I was a little afraid as I've never done it before.
Finally, I download the apks from apkmirror in the pc (opera browser in z4 crashes when I go to apkmirror) and I install them on the tv box. Try twice and bad results as you see in the pictures (the first time 31000 and the second only 26000).
I've use that app manager but it is a pain, you know the one I was referring to.
Sorry for my mistake about the recovery.
The flash process ended ok, so I don't know what to do more

RK3368 Kernel & Kernel Resource Files for my V2.5 BRE ROM

To support more RK3368 hardware like WiFi/BT, LAN chips and IR Remote Control


Flash resource & kernel files with AndroidTool v2.3x or TWRP Recovery (already included to my V2.5 BRE ROM)

IMPORTANT: You always have 1st to flash my full ROM, than just update/flash the resource or kernel files.


(resource)

All resource files are with the same TURBO BOOST 1600 speed setting.

KRS Resource Image File	Supported[WiFi/BT]	Supported Devices
KRS_1.2.9a_AP6330_resource.img	AP6330	CSA90 (?), ...	please test an report
KRS_1.2.9b_AP6335_resource.img	AP6335	Z4 RK3368, Trosmart Rk3368 Meta, Zidoo x6 pro, Ugoos ut4 (?), ...	please test an report
KRS_1.2.9c_RTL8723bs_resource.img	RTL8723bs	Z4L (?), ...	please test an report

(?) = until now no test report available

Additional Note: KRS 1.2.9b is the same as KRS 1.2.8 that is already included to my V2.5 BRE ROM.
KRS 1.2.9b has onlyone change. It supports 2 more IR Remote from devices other than the Z4.
So there is no need to flash this version to your Z4. Its only to support more IR Remote Control of other boxes.



(kernel)

The following RK3368 3.10.0 Kernel are all tested with my ROM V2.5 BRE on my Z4.
Rom Starts and the have all nearly the same speed with my ROM V2.5 BRE.
Kernels with AP63xx & RTL8xxx support several WiFi/BT chips.

Kernel Image File	Kernel Info
Z4_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img	qiachy #22 - 30.03.2016
CSA90_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img	yangfeihu #60 - 12.09.2015
Z4L_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img	yangfeihu #28 - 21.11.2015
ugoos_ut4_kernel.img	serega #15 - 13.10.2016
zidoo_x6pro_kernel.img	xiaoweihua #12 - 17.02.2016

Kernel file Z4_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img is already included to my V2.5 BRE ROM


Feel free to mix up those files, to get the best hardware support for your device.

Z4 = Z4_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img & KRS_1.2.9b_AP6335_resource.img


Test example for a RK3368 box with AP6330

1. Flash only KRS_1.2.9a_AP6330_resource.img
2. Flash KRS_1.2.9a_AP6330_resource.img & CSA90_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img
3. Flash KRS_1.2.9a_AP6330_resource.img & Z4L_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img

Test example for a RK3368 box with RTL8723bs

1. Flash only KRS_1.2.9c_RTL8723bs_resource.img
2. Flash KRS_1.2.9c_RTL8723bs_resource.img & CSA90_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img
3. Flash KRS_1.2.9c_RTL8723bs_resource.img & Z4L_AP63xx_RTL8xxx_kernel.img

IR Remote Control Keylayout files

In case some or all keys of your IR Remote Controller doesn't work, you should check the following!

To enable the stock keybord layout file for your IR Remote Control, just copy the file "ff680030_pwm.kl" (see download) of your box to the folder "/system/usr/keylayout/" and overright the existing one. Reboot the box and enjoy the new keylayout file setting.

Important:

• Do not forget to chmod 0660 the file "ff680030_pwm.kl"
• Or use ES File Explorer (RootExplorer) to do so: Mark file (long press) >> More >> Properties >> Permissons [Change]
  and set it to >> rw- r- r- = (Read: Owner, Group, Other | Write: Owner)

Check also this thread to redefine any Keyboard, Gamepad, Remote Control to your own needs.

Please be so kind and post your test result, even if it is not working!
This will help all others, not me. Thanks

@minixfreak

Thats the best I could give to support your RK3368 AP6330 box. Now it is up to you to test. Much luck!
And please give feedback.



@dincis1
I found some time to finish up some things I was already working on.
To solve your Mele F10 Pro remote. audio issue please flash KRS_1.2.9b_AP6335_resource.img & ugoos_ut4_kernel.img
Ive tested it with my Skype USB headset. Works perfect to me. Except the stock IR Remote. But you mentioned it already.

Much fun

Now to the real fun of it …


Are you kidding me?


>>> READ

What? You reboot to recovery? With my ROM? How did you do that? Long press of the power button and select reboot to BOOT LOADER? That's not recovery. That's BOOT LOADER to flash a rom with the PC. To start TWRP >>> READ
It‘s always a bad idea to put the cart before the horse. My suggestion. Start from the beginning. 1St READ carefully, then flash. Much success ...

sorry if you think that they are stupid questions, but everyone is not as clever as you.

Will check at the end of next week!

Thanks a lot.

Native remote is not working with this recource and kernel

Will check at the end of next week!

[cOOLio]

Fisrt of all, I like to help people. But what I don‘t like at all, is when people do not read. That‘s why my granny always says. There aren‘t stupid questions, but there are …

Anyhow ….

ahh and google play dont allow to download some normal android version that worked on original z4, like original opera, i used a apk from the version i like.

That‘s a good one. For google ATV means only ATV apps. So in case a app is not made for ATV, you will never find it on the ATV playstore. But there is a trick to push many non ATV apps via google playstore and the web browser to your box. Check the video

how i can add a game from menu to desktop games section?

Any app that is only visible at the APP Drawer is a non ATV app. So it is an issue of the app developer. Not of ATV or my rom. But you can create a shortcut app to the homescreen that starts the non ATV app. Check the special hint at the end of this post.

will the new update support ap6330 wifi

NO, until now I didn‘t found any Kernel with AP6330 support that works with my rom.

Amazon Prime Video don't play video. Exit on play button "Watch Now"

I have no amzon prime or netflix account. So I can‘t test it at all. Sorry!

Coolio,
Tried your 2.5 on my M8Pro with no luck. Shomari has been helping me a lot to attempt to get his rom to boot on my box. However, I did get the system image from your rom to boot using the boot.img Shomari gave me so I just wanted to say your rom looks great. Couldn't get the resource or kernel to work but the system image works pretty good with some issues that I'm sure are specific to the M8Pro.

Your device isn‘t supported yet. But maybe we will find a way in future. We will see.


Now to the real fun of it …

How can I install antutu to test performance?

Are you kidding me?

There is an app manager to close app in background?

Twpr seems not load when I reboot to recovery (the blue led is on but no image).

I don't know why, but nothing works

[koes]

I don't know why, but nothing works, I'm connected to my wifi network but sometimes internet works, others not and I think that is why kodi and spmc seems laggy and I can't reach any server. I am regretting to have changed the rom. Twpr seems not load when I reboot to recovery (the blue led is on but no image).

I have Z4 box. No the sound comes out only from remote even if its set to hdmi in sound managers output.I will post that kernel and resource which was working for mele f10 pro remote.
