NEW MK808/MK808B MiniX NEO X5 BASED ROMS (30 AUG 2013)

[Bueno]

Tonight I discovered that my 1080i TV will not display CWM Recovery. I've had to hook the device up to a 1080p TV both times to use CWM.

MK808B_digitopMod_MINIX_NEO-G4_port(0730)_Sep2013 (14.09.2013)

Thank you. I just flashed this to my MK808B.

Cool, the developer of the rom created a new one based on MiniX Neo G4. It gets an Antutu score of 12569. Get downloading guys!!


Digitop
1. Can you look if its possible to create a rom from crewrktablets's CM10.1 Odys Genio Alpha 3 RK3066.
The rom works on MK808/MK808B, you just need to flash a MK808B kernel then wifi works. The tablet also uses RK903 wifi, but bluetooth is not working on MK808B. It looks great especially the drop down notifications that can be hidden(email messages, app notifications etc.) that is usually in the bottom right corner of the screen on the status bar.

2. Is it possible to create an overclocked kernel for MK808B from source code posted below like 2Dark4u kernel for MK808?

I've encountered that error before on other devices
it seems that "dirty flashing" (flash through CWM) sometimes damages internal memory

Interesting.

about the XBMC i've also figured that out
but now i can't find a version that works (latest nightlies have the common cache plugin crash, earlier nightlies have other errors)

Sorry for recommending the nightly build... I can confirm that it crashes frequently when using Navi-X add-on. A few months ago I had XBMC and it didn't crash.

Here is a good thread which explains how to get the best XBMC experience possible: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...ers-read-this)

This bulild seems to work quite well for most people:nhttp://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/...rmeabi-v7a.apk
About the scrambled movies: try to toggle through the display modes (stretch/zoom etc.).

Thx, I will try it later this evening

Does anyone else have a problem with scrambled low quality (sd) movies and crashing of the whole system after a few seconds?
In short: which is the most stable and useable version?
I mainly want to use it for streaming from the web. I play local files on MX player

Digitop's firmware seems very nice, but I now get this error when attempting to download a file from the web:

"No SD Card - an sd card is required to download..."

I saw that page before, but I overlooked the fact that there are multiple ways to install it.

I tried using Finless' flash tool to flash recovery-cwm.img as explained, but at first this did not work possibly because I was using MaximRy's ROM rather than Finless.

I decided to reflash Finless ROM, but replace the recovery.img file in the FinlessROM folder with the recovery.img from CWM.

This worked. It booted to CWM immediately and I flashed digitop's firmware .zip

Digitop's firmware seems very nice, but I now get this error when attempting to download a file from the web:

"No SD Card - an sd card is required to download..."

Thoroughly confused now, because I've never seen this error before on lewy's, finless' or MaximRy's ROMs.

There is plenty of room left on the device, it's freshly flashed. I tried inserting an SD Card and I still get the same error.

The SD Card slot is definitely working, because I can explore it's files using ES File Explorer.

NAND FLASH appears empty in settings, and attempting to mount it returns the error "damaged storage"

Edit: Well, a notification came up in the lower right corner saying that storage device was damaged, and it prompted me to reformat, so I did that, and now NAND space shows up as ~5GB free space and it's allowing me to save files from the web to it I am very happy now.

But after i installed xbmc-20130403-6200f76-Gotham_alpha2_stagefright-armeabi-v7a
Xbmc isn't showing all of the text in the main windows

That is an old version of the APK, I think. New info from http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005 --->

After months, the libstagefright code has finally been merged into the main tree.
As such, from tomorrow on, all android nightly builds will be libstagefright-enabled and this thread is now obsolete.

Here is where you can get the nightly builds for android: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/

Great rom. I manage to install it on my sain smart mk808 with kizs 1,5 Ghz kernel and everything works perfect.

How can I flash it with "regular tool" ?(i believe you mean bob's tool or RKtool).

CWM is easy to use. You can install an app from Google Play that reboots to recovery to flash it.

if you have a linux system you can try this with the 'system' folder extracted from the zip.

mkisofs -o /path/to/the/system/folder ~/system.iso
dd if=~/system.iso of=~/system.img
rm ~/system.iso

Use Finless Bob 1.7 rom(Android 4.1), unzip it and replace the system.img file in FinlessRom folder with the one you created above and flash normally. The data/app folder with the apps will not be installed, you will have to do that manually if you want those apps.
I thought the files in the zip was different img files, after looking I saw it was completely different. Another user also wanted to flash on Windows, so I found the solution above.
It's a bit complicated but I think that's the only way to make it work(not tested).

Hi,

First off all, thanks for the great Rom
I just installed it without any issues
But after i installed xbmc-20130403-6200f76-Gotham_alpha2_stagefright-armeabi-v7a
Xbmc isn't showing all of the text in the main windows
i used the same version on other roms without any problems, so i'm not sure if it's rom related or xbmc
can anyone advice?

EDIT: i found the problem, it was XBMC...

[khi]

You can also unzip this rom on a pc and flash it with the regular tools.
#Post 15 also contain MK808 kernels that you can use with this rom if you want to flash it to a MK808 instead of MK808B.

I was just hopping that someone can finish alex work.

I hope so too, but i guess thats impossible because alex never released the sources...

I did have an extra cooling and 2 fans. Alex (2dark4u) was talking about a kernel with cpu at 1.6 gpu at 500 mhz and ram at 1.2.....he did also a benchmark, with 13000 points.

I have already set cpu installed but the maximum frequencies is 1.4.

I am on finless 1.7 c + 2dark4u 1.4

I was just hopping that someone can finish alex work.

Hm, that is interesting. Well, I am using maximry's ROM now. I would like to try digitop's, though.


I did the steps to install CWM (formatted 2GB microsd to FAT32 and copied update.zip to it), but I never got the prompt to install the update. To be honest, I don't believe I've tested the MicroSD card slot on my device, so it could possibly be broken.
