MK808B_digitopMod_MINIX_NEO-G4_port (0730) _Sep2013

[nahsha]

Here are MK808 and MK808B, 720p & 1080p overclocked kernels. Don't use one with GPU > 400 in the filename as it was confirmed that they don't work properly.
http://www.multiupload.nl/L2LWQ0N3GC - can only flash with Windows or replace the kernel into the rom zip file after renaming it to kernel.img.

Does your wifi have a strong signal?
Also don't plug any wifi dongles into the full usb port of your device as it causes interference with wifi.
Also change your router's wifi channel higher than 10, maybe 11 or 12 and change security to WPA-PSK & TKIP+AES.

What device do you have?
Maybe you have a clone that's compatible with different wifi.

I got the mk808b from geekbuying. The reception is quite strong the router I have is asus ac66u.

I'll try the method you suggested by replacing the kernel in a zip. Can you specifically recommend which kernel from the bunch?

Also, not on topic...but would you know how to get all streams working in sportsdevil via xbmc?

Many thanks!

[lifeisfun]

Just to confirm, it works just as good on the MX1 as on my mk808b
Only handicap is the identical MAC (network problems if they share the same network) and no CWM (I hope this can be fixed)

UPDATE
There is one quirk after all, on reboot (or shutdown and power on) the Minix XBMC will not start. I have to reinstall it to get it working (no XBMC settings lost tho - thanks god)

[lifeisfun]

Thanks!

Hope this helps a bit

OK..., used the CWM method and everything booted fineWifi will not turn on
Bluetooth will not even switch on
Don't mind that at all tho


I can upload files that you can copy over to your MX1 to try to get wifi working. It works for other devices but not sure about MX1 as even Finless Bob said he had trouble with wifi when porting his MK808 rom over to the MX1.


Got soft reboot on signing in to playstore and once it started to update apps it froze
Also the MAC is identical to the mk808b so they don't play nice on the same network.


How did you get internet working with no wifi, did you use ethernet?

Yes, used ethernet




UPDATE 2
Looks like I spoke too soon
Getting spontaneous reboots and permanent lockups when trying to download anything from playstore.
Wanted to flash the image file you uploaded but can't extract it from the compressed format, will try to re-download.


Do you only get problems with Play Store or are other apps also not working?
To extract the file you need 7z(Zzip).

Found out the hard way



UPDATE 3
Flashed the image file and it wouldn't finish booting
Booted, Playstore, WIFI,BT, all working well
Max CPU can be set only to 1400
will test XBMC performance later
Only missing thing for now is CWM


Sorry max CPU is only 1.4 Ghz, same as stock kernel, as I can't overclock it, different format than normal kernels. To overclock it you need to change code in the overclock tool, which I don't know how.

No problem, hope it will be enough power



UPDATE 4


Minix XBMC started then closed and now refuses to start


You can go to Settings on Android, then apps and search for MiniX XBMC and clear it's cache and data. It will then recreate it's data and will hopefully start.
Or reinstall it from here, after downloading - http://flumpster.lolcakes.com/androi...ETA2_Test1.apk

Clearing ddidn't help but reinstall did
Unfortunately it has to be reinstalled on every reboot
Any idea how to fix that?

Now if I can get CWM installed to make backup that would be awesome....

Hi all, can someone please upload a 720 flashable kernel via recovery that has WiFi working please? I am having some issues with the stock one...randomly WiFi starts going off and on and WiFi stops responding.

I made a quick rom for Imito MX 1
1. Improved streaming, video playback
2. Includes MiniX XBMC Beta 2
3. Updated apps
4. Different boot logo

http://www.mediafire.com/download/pgwllv41xvduydc/MK808IIIS%20Rom%2024%20Dec%202013.7z

I had to use a different tool to unpack this firmware, since Rikomagic changed the firmware from the standard firmware format. So I'm not certain if this firmware will work or even boot.
To uninstall apps since they are all system apps and not user apps use - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ager.systemapp
Sorry no overclocked kernel, kernel is different than standard kernels and won't overclock unless you modify the overclock tool which I don't know how.

To install CWM(to flash digitop 3.5.5 XBMC Edition rom)

The easiest way is to download Finless 1.7 rom

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3931-NEW-iMito-MX1-2-Finless-ROM-1-7

Here is also 2 CWM Recoveries you can try to flash, if one doesn't work try the other

http://www.mediafire.com/download/sr1hel4tljv512c/CWM%20for%20MX1.7z

Unzip it completely and copy the Recovery.img to the FinlessRom folder from Finless 1.7 rom above, overwriting the stock Recovery.img.

Select all the boxes in the Finless flash tool except system.img.
IDB erase/format your device
Flash your device

When you plug the device into the TV, you should boot to CWM.

Now you can try my rom and see if it works
http://www.mediafire.com/download/02ee2d8m1g002on
/MK808B_digitopMod_v3.5.5%20XBMC%20Edition.zip
(Copy the zip file beforehand to a microsd card and insert it into your device, after replacing the kernel.img file in the zip with the one in Finless 1.7 rom above)
If wifi still doesn't work I can think of something else to get wifi working.


If these roms work I will also post it in the Imito thread to help other people.

Thanks!
Downloading now, will report back soon

Now, should I use nofrillCPU and overclock?

AFAIK Miracast/Wireless Display was introduced in Android 4.2 and is therefore note available in this rom or any other Android 4.1 rom

[eilz]

miracast mirroring widi wireless display ?

Can anyone confirm if 'wireless display' aka (widi, miracast) option is available on this ROM please ?

Anyone tried with Push2TV netgear or any other dongle and got running from phone connection on rom or any other rom(s) using mk808b or similar?

Thanks
Eilz

I did change the developer's settings to 0.5x animations and force GPU 2D graphics.

I also ran Pimpmyrom and tweak netwrok for better Streaming and DNS speeds.

My screen resolution is set on 720p/60Hz.

But I did not run Android Tuner, may be I will try it later.

I am quite happy with the current Sep ROM, I watch mostly Internet streaming contenets, network speed would be the paramount for me, as I don't really access any 1080p contenets.

Did you change the settings in the Developer options and ran Pimpmyrom and Android Tuner

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at.free

Also change resolution to 720p 50hz/60hz in screen settings.

I get an Antutu score of 12702 with this rom.

[mo123]

Thanks for posting this latest ROM!

Unfortunately on my MK808B, it does not appear to run as smooth as the previous MK808B_digitopMod_MINIX_NEO-G4_port (0730) _Sep2013, basic command responses (keyboard and mouse) are somewhat laggy, and network throughput also seem slower.

With the previous ROM, the Antutu score was >12,000, however I run Antutu with this ROM, first time score was <11,000 and the 2nd time it was <10,000.

I have now returned to the Sep ROM.

Remember to rename the kernel to kernel.img before replacing it in the rom's zip file.

[mo123]

That would be awesome! Yes that rom is working great
One problem is that I can't figure out how to install cwm with this rom.
Leolas offered to create custom version tho

Only change kernel.img for MK808. Make sure it's Android 4.1, 3.0.8 kernel.

MiniX Neo X5 Mini kernel might not work since it's Android 4.2, 3.0.36 kernel and not Android 4.1.
The overclocked kernel I made for MiniX Neo X5 Mini might only work on the stock Mini's firmware, just flash with RKAndroidTools v1.37 and only select kernel and flash not IDB erase.

Thanks.
I understand that.
But that other question was for a another device ( MK808 )

[mo123]

But do i have to change the boot.img also or a i can only change the kernel.img to have the new settings???
