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

[Shomari]

Thanks for you reply!!! i ll test it. Two questions; can you say me if is best to migrate from the wasser firm 64 bit beelink (that is I m using now) to this firm? Internet download is very very slow in my country, and takes one day to download this firm, and I want to know if this is best. And another question: is this a 64 bit firm? Thanks!!!

... no, it's lollipop, so it's not 64bit. I can't say if this will be better on your device. Because you know the R68 has audio stutter issues that may be present in this firmware, and since I don't have the r68, I wouldn't know if it's better.

If you'd like, I can try and post a link of this firmware with a smaller size so that you can download it easier, too. It will be faster than the wasser firmware, but other than that I don't know what performance will be like on your device.

mglarosa it's lollipop firmware. That shouldn't be an issue, there's no advantage in running marshmallow with RK3368, if anything there are some disadvantages.

As far as audio stutter, you'd have to check yourself, as this fimrware is targeted for the Z4, while using a base of UT4 stock firmware. Both those devices don't have audio stutter, which is almost exclusively reported by users with R68/i68 and similar devices.

Other than that your device should be fully compatible.

Some users believe that mo123 Nagrace kernel fixes the audio stutter issue on your device. I don't believe this to be true, but you can test and let everyone know your results, the kernel is here:

One more question; Is this a 64 bit firmware?

[mglarosa]

Hello! Im a Tronsamrt Orion meta R68 user. Now, Im running a Wasser firm, because the original firm is a junk. Iḿ very interested in this rom. Can you say me if that is compatible with my device? can you say me if the stuttering problem is solved? and One more question: Is a Marshmallow version? Thanks!!!

[Shomari]

Sorry to sound like a pain. I tried both versions of Kodi 17.1 and the on that comes with the rom. I guess it might be something wrong with my setup if no one else has had issues. And by "it" i was talking about 17.1. But if there is a fix I would try that. Thanks .

... you're not a pain at all! I respond quick whenever I post so sometimes I'm probably the one that comes off like a pain.

Uninstall and reinstall the firmware (only suggesting this because i this issue has not been reported commonly)

... but - before you do that, try this kodi - http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/...rmeabi-v7a.apk

It's a test version based on Kodi Leia, it runs pretty good on my boxes when I do tests.

I think cOOLio is using Ugoos as a base firmware so there may be an issue proper. In any event, he'll likely get it sorted if needed, we got his back if anything.

and remember, you're not a pain we do this for you and for fun, so never hesitate to post..

... when you say 'both versions', both versions of what? Looks like you're the only one that's reported that issue, and I told you if it's an issue I can advise cOOLio of the fix. But if you uninstalled 'it', whatever 'it' is, suit yourself.

I tried both versions last night and still got 17.1 out of sync. So uninstalled it.

Hello cOOLio
Thank you for the very good Rom!!!
Everting works fine for me but I try to connect my android phone via Miracast but I can't fine a way to make it work.
I will be happy for a solution.

Thanks

[Shomari]

Hello. Thanks for the great work. I noticed if you install kodi 17.1 the voice is out of sync. The Ugoo Kodi on 16.1 works just fine.

I can probably shoot cOOLio a fix for this if someone can confirm it. . . .

Happy to see there is still life in this old Box...
But maybe you should consider making a "non TV" Rom also...

I‘m sorry, but this will never happen. I will tell you also why I only make android TV (ATV) ROMs. The first time I used my SONY 4K ATV in 2015, I was totally shocked about Google ATV. No launcher customizing, no wallpapers, no root and so many apps I used before, that didn‘t work anymore. Or must be side loaded. But even after I side loaded them, no launcher icon on the home screen. And ATV has no task manger. Or let‘s say, no task manager we are already familiar with (Tip: The ATV task manager can be found @ Settings >> Apps: running apps). So a lot of reasons to hate ATV. But Kodi was working. That‘s one of the main reasons why I bought a Sony android TV. And in addition. My wive was also always complaining about all those additional cables and devices, I had to use before. Now our living room is pretty clean. Just the big screen TV attached to the wall and a few cables, covered by a tiny cable duct. To get a proper surround sound. Anyhow. Lets get back to the main topic. From thereon I was forced to use Google ATV in my living room. And what should I say. After a while I understood why Google made the decision, to force us to us the ATV leanback launcher on a certificated android TV. It's a perfect leanback concept. Just leanback to the couch, with your tiny mic powered remote control to enjoy the essence of it, watching movies. And when it comes to typing, I just talk instead of using my addition Rii 8 mini keyboard. It‘s much, much, faster then typing and it works mostly pretty well. I‘m definitely not a ATV fan boy. But right now I love ATV, much, much, more then the common android launchers. I still use on my (touch) mobile and tablet. Where those launchers makes much more sense, then on a TV. Because of the touch interface.

It's always up to all of you, what do you prefer most as launcher on your TV. If you don't like my ATV ROM, nobody forces you to use it. But I'm pretty sure you will get friends, when U start using it. And as more users start using a ATV device, as more ATV apps we will get. Because when I start using my SONY ATV in 2015, those ATV apps where pretty rare. But in the last few month, there are more and more good ATV apps available. And I‘m also pretty sure, that the most of you, are already using only the YouTube ATV version. Instead of the touche one. Where you still have to use a mouse. Because those leanback ATV apps make much more sense on a TV, like the Google ATV leanback launcher. Even I’m still looking for a way to get my own, more black orientated wallpaper . And I also notice on my own behavior. If there is a good non ATV app, where I still have to use my Rii mini Keyboard and its touch pad. I stop using the app on my TV and android boxes. And I start searching for a comparable ATV app. Where I just have to use my tiny remote and a mic.

I‘m also always pretty future orientated and as I mentioned already. For me the Googles leanback ATV concept makes the most sense on a TV. Anything else is in my point of view medieval, I‘m no longer interested in, when it comes to a TV.

But the good thing for all of you medieval fans. There are still enough non ATV ROM's available. And when it comes to a good and also fast NON ATV Z4 RK3368 ROM, where you still have to use a mouse and keyboard. I recommend Shomari T8C/OC ROM. It’s even faster then my ROM, when using a more powerful power adapter.

A lot of text … ha ha ha … to say … I’m sorry. But I’m not interested in creating things I do not believe in.

Now I have to go back to my family. BTW … I hope my wive, kids and the dog will give me enough time, so could release V2.5 BRE already this weekend.

cOOLio I see you in Geekbench, brother. Get it over 600 single core, then maybe we can get a GZA build out of you or something. Or maybe Big L haha..

cOOLio how did you get Geekbench to complete at 1608mhz? I haven't been able to complete the benchmark in almost a year. I saw you got it to run, and got your box to 667 single core.

Geekbench segfaults to death on all my tries. Not a big deal at all, but just a curiosity.

In the meantime I was not idle bro.
