I'm going to try the OC kernel with Nexus ROM on my X7 tonight and see how it is.I understand they share the same internals.

Recap... also posted this in my 5v 10a power thread

I ended up using an old 350watt PSU. I took a molex to sata power adapter, cut it and spliced it to become a molex to micro USB (power only). Then shorted the green wire and a ground on the 20 pin to power On the PSU when I flipped the switch.

The 5v rail has 32amps, more than enough power for this stick. I'm not getting any reboots anymore that's for sure. Now I can benchmark my stick while OC'd. I'm going to find a way to clean it up and make it look nice. Probably remove all the extra cables and such. Maybe leave 1 or 2 molex for external devices if need be.

Power
Stick
Benchmark Now benching 3000 points higher than my Galaxy Note II!

Right now the stick is
Nexus 7 Multi-Window ROM v1.2
OC Kernel CPU @1.6GHz (stick would still reboot when trying to run the 1920MHz clock speed) Performance / noop, GPU 789MHz, DDR 720MHz
vram heatsinks on the NAND, Memory, and Processor
10mm fan on CPU solderd to the 5v and ground from the USB (A) port

The only issues I am having right now are that I get no video on my PS1 emulator. I get audio, and can load a save state, but just a black screen. I also now get FCs as I try to load up a ROM from my N64 emulator. Im not sure if its the ROM or the Kernel causing the issue. I upgraded from the Multi-Window v1.1 and Stock kernel at the same time, so not sure witch one is to blame. It could be they just dont like 1080p.

Video playback at 1080p is flawless. Even on WiFi. I have watched 1080p, 720p and 480p Movies/TV shows and have no stutters, skipping, or buffering. Having this type of performance on this stick at full 1080p is fantastic.

Video is malformed message

I am using jjhmod-v2.2 with a 1080 kernel built using marvin - "1080p cpu1800h ddr720 gpu600o vsfsam" (with config modified to allow only 1200 MHz and 1608 MHz). With this when playing an online source, playback stop consistently after about 10 mins, both with Wondershare Player and MX Player. Logcat with wondershare is below. Playback stops with a "Video is Malformed" error. Any ideas ?

Molle, can you share your .xml settings file for hardware accelerated XBMC? The file itself with all needed parameters. Thanks in advance!

advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <video>
        <stagefright>
            <useavccodec>1</useavccodec>
            <usevc1codec>1</usevc1codec>
            <usevpxcodec>1</usevpxcodec>
            <usemp4codec>1</usemp4codec>
            <usempeg2codec>1</usempeg2codec>
            <useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>
        </stagefright>
    </video>

        <disableipv6>true</disableipv6> 
        <cachemembuffersize>20971520</cachemembuffersize>
    </network>
</advancedsettings>

The system settings have the support for libstagefright enabled by default (if the XBMC build supports hw acceleration).

**BigND** · 06 September 2013, 06:48

Thanks for quick reply. Another couple of questions. Does XBMC support DTS sound without external player? Where do i find XBMC builds with HD acceleration support?

**Batfink32** · 06 September 2013, 09:11

Tried the OC 1800/700/1080p on my MINIX x7 with the Nexus ROM.Everything seems to be perfect. Video is smooth and I've had no reboots.

Can you upload this Kernel?

XBMC supports DTS by downmixing it to two channel PCM. I have had zero success with trying to get XBMC output multichannel sound through HDMI to my receiver. If i set the the sound output in XBMC settings to anything but 'Analog', all videos with multichannel audio tracks output just digital noise.

XBMC releases and various builds for all platforms can be found here. All nightlies since the beginning of August and all test builds with 'libstagefright', 'hwaccel' or 'SF' in the file name support hw acceleration.

I'm currently using this version: 'xbmc-20130714-6ec63cd-adddroidlibstagefright-armeabi-v7a.apk'.

Have you tested stabilty feature on this new antutu? I got readings from 95-99%, i wonder if that is stable enough. Also when ended temp was 48c, i did not know that it was a temp reader in Minix X7.

Wow! I'm going to flash that tonight. Are you using cooling? The fact the X7 is totally enclosed scares me to run it so overclocked.
How did you get the temp sensor readings?

Box is stock, i have not tested long term use. Temp reading is visible when you run stablity test, if it shows correct temp i have no clue about.

Yeah, I think mild overclocking should be OK longterm I don't know about extreme.
