MK908II Hybrid Firmware (HFW) ... => "-spdif..." ???

Hi,

I think only a little copy and past mistake:
" -spdif passtrought should work out of the box (need test)"

And does the wasser kernal really works at the MK908II?

greetings

PS:
If it isn't to early at that moment, with device do you will prefer only at the point 1080p video and stability/temperature?
MK908II vs. your K-R42

[Maximus]

[Chakumo]

im using mk908II for skype and gameing with xbox controler on my main tv and -kr42 on older tv in next room.
both are nice devices and 1080p for me look srhe same so thats just a mether of choice if you need
aditional stuf like remote ethernet etc go for k-r42 if not buy mk908II

Hello Lewy,

I am just thinking to buy a tvstick. I would like to use it for my Appradio2. As I read Finless integrated to allow mock locations in his FW for the simple mk908. As I saw the prices, that 5 bucks which is the difference between the simple and the new model is nothing, so I guess would be wise to chose the new model. I think your rom is the very first to make this dongle better, but I am just concerning that is this contain the option for allowing mock locations or not? It's very important for me, cause without this I cannot use for navigation the dongle. THX for your answer.

[lewy20041]

it should work so dont worry to much

[tibiubi]

it should work so dont worry to much

So there is option. Many thanks, in this case Im gonna order it

[Bazmamfoo]

Brilliant,

So happy to see development for this device has already started. I ordered mine so should have it in the next few weeks. I have a lot of experience with Android phones & tabs but I've never had anything like this before.

Is there a quick guide to installing a custom ROM for the first time? It's my understanding that these devices come rooted out of the box?

Thanks

Hello Lewy20041,




I just installed your rom and seems that the mk908II its getting hot on regular usage (with the stock rom when i just navigate in the menu and even when watching movies the stick didnt get so hot, was just warm,but now is very hot) and i had 1 freeze after 5 minutes from installing this custom rom when i was browsing.
Is this normal?
