[MK908] Problems with stock ROM v0802

[KesieV]

Hi,
I've recently purchased an MK908 from Geekbuying and upgraded ROM to v.802 (http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/08/10/rom-download-tronsmart-mk908-quad-core-tv-sticks-android-4-2-new-stock-rom-all-tronsmart-mk908-users-please-check-this)

Wifi
keep disconnecting - router is about 2mt from the miniPC.
Sometime reboots when disconnecting Wifi from settings, especially when connection seems "dead" (i.e. connected symbol on the lower right of the screen but downloads are frozen) that happens quite often.
Suggested to try different power adapters but no luck.

Solution: Tried another router and it worked. Seems that only some routers (supporting N or not too cheap) work with these sticks.

Wireless XBOX360 Joypad
Mapping is incorrect in Dead Trigger/Shadowrun
- Screen keep turning left, right stick left/right aim up/down, left trigger turns right. Can't map buttons since "Axis 3+" is displayed every time I try to remap a button.

Solution here worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1792531
IMHO these files have to be supplied in further ROMS since XBOX controllers are pretty common. Anyway, sometime, you've to plug/unplug controller in order to make it work.

Software
Shadowrun can't allow to select options with mouse and behave differently quite randomly:
- Sometime boots up, allow to move into menu but crash/exit when starting new game
- Sometime boots up, allow to move on two/three options with joypad then crashes
- Sometime crashes at start


I'm quite noobish in miniPCs but not tech-aware. Any suggestion?

Please help us, wifi is disconnecting very often, how can we solve this? Which rom does it solve this problem?

You can try this new custom rom I just posted if you like.

I'm really hoping people have good results with it.

Added new info about Shadowrun. Downloading the suggested ROM meanwhile.

Downloaded and installed. Same issues of stock kernel: unstable wifi, randomly reboot. But hey... first custom ROM I'm able to run with my v3 Great job!
Dead Trigger is working the same as I've explained on the top of this post with XBOX controller.

Is there any rom without wifi disconnecting problem? How do you guys manage this situation? In fact it's a mobile device and wireless is one of the most important thing...

Updated with Wifi tests results and XBOX360 joypad solution.
