MK908 Finless ROM 1.6a

Hulu Plus & Xfinity Apps Not Working...

Are there any workarounds?

[-=Jeff=-]

Just saw this and tried it with ARLiberator and the App Radio 2 and it now works for me. The touch drivers made it complete.

Now I need to figure out why Car Ultra Home worked when installed and now that app force closes.

Network problems?

Is there a problem with this rom browsing the network from other machines on the same network as the hdmi stick (in my case a cx919)?

When viewing the network in internet explorer (using windows 8) i takes about a minute to list my machines in that network (only 4) when the stick is powered on and connected. Without it it takes just a few seconds.

Total Commander which I use, times out completely when it is connected and doing the above.

I never have any problems using IPs, only when using or listing the names of the machines in the network.

I know Strauzo used to say that some chinese software played booboo with your router, but I never had any problem until now really. Personally, I think it might be something with the eHomeMediaCenter. I get the same behaviour when I enable my nas to be local master browser (cifs) which my router already takes care of. So there is definately some struggling for resources.

How would I go about removing eHomeMediaCenter if I wanted to test without it? Just remove the APK?
Anybody else got an idea?

Hello Bob,

Yesterday I instaled your ROM and at the moment works great. I haven't any reboot (I have v3 version).
Now Wifi is very stable and works fine for me (no drops at the moment), but I think that wifi hardware is very poor (max connection is 65 mbps). I think that I need a powerfull connection to use NBA Game Time or Netflix.

About netflix, I have the same problems. I play a movie, and 5 minutes later, it drops or sound still playing, but image freeze. Anyone have a solution for this problem?

To solve the WiFi problem, I got the following solution.

Buy this repeater

and use LAN port to connect MK908 v3 using this gadget

http://dx.com/p/usb-2-0-male-to-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-for-android-notebook-pc-white-170753

also I'm using the original power supply. I found that one for replace the original one.

And I want to buy a powered USB Hub.

I need to know your opinions about this. If what I think is right and if it can be made to work (if the network connection in this way will be better)

About netflix, I need your opinions to. It is a general problem or is it a problem caused by network connection there?

Thanks a lot for you comments. All comments for all users are welcome.

I through everyone might like to know, that after installed the most recent Netflix version 3.0.2 (released 31.Oct.2013), I am watching all the movies without any problems!!


So something has been corrected or the buffering method have changed, because now the Netflix APP works flawlessly without blocking the system!!


I am using Neomodes 1.7 ROM and also try Finless 1.6a ROM, in my CX-919 TV stick and installed the most recent Netflix version, and don't need the Xposed Netflix Fix anymore:


Netflix 3.0.2 released 31.Oct.2013


Don't use any other old version, all of them have the same buffering problems, and you will have to use the Xposed Netflix Fix.

For the first time the Netflix APP is working flawlessly with Android 4.2.2!!

My device still freezes when I try to install any app.
Netflix and Spotify freezes the whole device...
I've already tried to connect the power cable into another socket.
It keeps doing the same thing.

I'm getting fed up with this device

Marvin build with finelss 1.6a

I am unable to use kernels built with Marvin - loops at boot - the finless logo appears for a few seconds blanks out and reappears. The stock kernel seems to be working okay, but I would like to use the overclocked kernel I built.

I have another strange problem - with the SDK2 ROM + Marvin kernel, when I attach a 1.5 TB Western Digital hard drive (I am using a powered USB hub), after about 30 mins, Android reboots. I also have a 3A PSU. Any idea why ?

With this ROM, the reboot doesn't seem to be happening. However, the hard drive LED keeps blinking even without any access.

Thanks.

[kbgbef]

Another couple of questions, would it be useful to use this app - "Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+" to access a NTFS hard drive (access works properly even without this app) and what does the "ro.rk.MassStorage" setting do ?

Thanks.

Better use Tincore Keymapper. It's great, free and works with a lot of devices even with gamepads.

Hi.. I have flashed Finless Rom 1.6a on my MK 908. I have verified that the device is a authentic MK 908 by opening the case but i have no clue on the version. However, I have noticed that the model shown was a rk31sdk in the setting before i flashed the ROM.

However, after flashing the ROM I couldn't get any signal from my screen though there is still blue light. I have tried using ROM flash tool again, but there was no USB recognition in that condition so I am stuck.

Anyone has a clue to resolve this problem? frustration.

Can someone say what's a good and working rom/XBMC version combination for MK908 (v3) at the moment? I'm using this Finless ROM 1.6A at the moment with XBMC 12.3 version for OUYA which has h/w acceleration. My problem is that when I'm watching a video, xbmc playback buttons becomes unstable. Sometimes I can't click any of the buttons (pause, stop, search for subtitles etc). Playback is quite smooth though. I have made a cooling mod for the device which works well, no more crashing caused by heat. Could the stock PSU cause these kind of problems? I have ordered a new one (5V, 3A).

However as EASY as it is to edit framework-res.apk and put whatever mouse you want in there, I am suprised for those that HAVE TO HAVE IT, they just don't go do it themselves. No offense but my time is better spent on much more difficult tasks than opening a zip file with 7-zip and copying in 2 PNG files.

I'm sorry to be a bother. I tried the above mentioned method by replacing the pointer file, with one I found online. And it works just fine, apart from one thing. The actual point where the pointer is pointing at is not on the tip of the pointer. This is the case for the pointer that is included in this ROM by default as well. Not something you notice readily when just using android, but in a RDP session to windows it becomes a problem.

Could someone point me to a png file which doesn't have this problem?

I think you have to open the pointer image .png in a grapics editor like photoshop or gimp and moove thw actual pointer image to the top left corner of the canvas

Try to use this framework-res.apk - ists the original file with new working pointer.
