MK908/T428 Hybrid Firmware (HFW) 1.1.2 by lewy20041

[lewy20041]

this ver is just a test if everything is working as it should.
next will have 720p/1080p.

Best kernel is HFW 1.1.2 1080p Antutu 17658

17658 and 17442 fall within the margin of error (difference 1.22%). Regardless, it's absolutely fantastic that these kind of results can be achieved with 1080p kernels today. Just two or three months ago the story was totally different...

T428

A few findings,
I had a reboot when pressing the off button.
The stick was non responding after leaving it on for a hour, doing nothing.
XBMC seems to be more unstable.
After manually downloading and installing XBMC, your XBMC install button triggers a force close of the settings menu.

Great picture quality

Installed your rom today and the picture quality is fantastic. There is one problem that I have never seen before with any of the other roms that I have tried. The color red and only red is quite pixelated. On the plus side, the wireless and ethernet seen to be working flawlessly. The camera worked but crashed when I switched it to video (Logitech C310). Have not tried to use Skype yet. Also, the email app is missing, and I do use it. With this rom I am 90% satisfied with the T428.

streaming

Netflix streams flawlessly with wifi or ethernet. Streaming videos from my Synology NAS via ethernet is also flawless. But I have not streamed any hd videos. Now for a wish lists : 1. Sync my goole calendar with my t428 calendar. 2. Solve the red pixelation. 3. Bring back the stock email app. Otherwise, this rom is almost perfect. Hoping one of these days multichannel sound Will be available with HDMI passthrough.

Some minor bugs are still there

All in all this ROM is still the best for T428 in my opinion.

I use T428 ONLY to watch HD 720p and 1080p video over ethernet from NAS with latest MX Pro.
HFW 1.2.1 with phjanderson's 1080p vsyncfixed overclocked kernel video is almost perfect. In comparision Popcorn Hour C200 plays the same videofiles smoother, but not much.

It's not that important, but some bugs from previous versions are still there:
1. Settings\Sound\Volumes crashes to home screen
2. Settnigs\Data Usage shows no data transfer over ethernet
3. Settings\Display\Auto Hide Systembar when checked still doesn't hide systembar on home screen

And most annoing for me:
Settings\Perfomance\Apply on boot when checked after reboot crashes application and does not apply changes. So, please, Lewy20041, either fix this crash or make the default settings Governor - ondemand, I\O Sheduler -noop as Molle mentioned earlier.

Thank you!

i think you may cought a bad flash.
auto hide system bar is 100% working so try to flash again and post back.

for anyone haveing fc bug on xbmc installer.
please delete /sdcard/Download/XBMC.apk if you planing on using xbmc installer more than once.

Can't do that right now. Already set everything up and installed all the apps. I'll check this next time. It hides system bar everywhere EXCEPT home screen.

What about CPU settings on startup? Will you fix this? I think that is much more important bug. And it was there since the first version of the ROM!

[lewy20041]

auto hide status bar do not hide the bar at homescreen.
performance its working on my side.
can anyone confirm that performance settings do not work?

Understood about system bar.

Do you test performance on T428 or on R-42? It works if applied manually, but not on system start up. Maybe it is easier just to change the default settings to ondemand\noop?
