Great Work!

Great work on this firmware! I was even able to get Hulu Plus and Netflix to work with one of your kernels. I did have to go back to stock as everything was soooo small that I couldn't see it with my not so great eyes. Are what you all are working on (in the past fiew posts) to change the resolution designed to fix this problem (everything being so tinny) or is this a dpi issue? Thanks!

T-R42 custom firmware by wasser

Hello,

Thanks for all your hard work into making this great firmware for T-R42. My device has been running stable and fast.
I need cifs fs support in my T-R42 for automount share folder on my mybooklive.
What I need for this? Can someone compile a kernel with support cifs? or module cifs.ko?

the default lcd_density is 160 and it's small if you are using kernel-1080p. You have to change the lcd density to 240 in /system/build.prop.

I will create boot1080 and boot720 image in next firmware. It will fix such problem.

the cifs is supported in the firmware! nothing is needed ;-)

[wasser]

Ok, and which difference in kernel.img, kernel-720.img, kernel-1080.img ??? kernel.img is it stock??
THX

kernel.img and kernel-1080.img is the same. I dont want to use the stock kernel in my firmware. It seems the stock kernel has some hack which only works correctly with stock firmware.

Please avoid to use stock kernel in my firmware!

Awesome! I look forward to it! I did try to change the density to 240 last night and it caused either the device to not boot or the screen to appear blank (not sure which on this device). Maybe it will work better cooked into a kernel.

Update: Retired changing the dpi to 240 and it worked! I am finding that Netflix works best on HDMI Mode 1920x720-60 (works ok on 1920x1080-60) but Hulu only works on 1920x1080p-60. I found that hulu will cause the screen to go black when you start a video, but I pulled the HDMI cable and plugged it back in and it worked fine.

Miracast

The stock firmware supports Miracast. I can't seem to find any way to enable this feature in your firmware, wasser. Any chance you could implement it?

Or perhaps someone could upload the WifiDisplay app? Maybe that's all that's needed to regain Miracast functionality...

i will add WifiDisplay app in next firmware update.

Mounting NFS Shares

Hi Wasser,


I tried mounting my NFS shares last night through scripts so I can put it in /etc/init.d to run at startup and ran into issues. I was getting Device or Resource Busy message returned and
not sure if anything missing. I was able to and had no issues with mounting NFS shares through XBMC. I also was able to mount CIFS/SMB shares through CIFSManager app.


Do you have a sample scripts that you used to mount your NFS shares and run it at startup through /etc/init.d? Do you mount SMB shares too?


BTW, I used ScriptManager to write and test all my scripts.


Thanks.

in general you should add your code (mount nfs ..) and check if your nfs is mount in while loop
for example your nfs server is 192.168.1.10 and mount point is /video

while : ; do
mount -t nfs -o ro,intr,hard,nolock 192.168.1.10:/video /mnt/nfs/video
if mount | grep -q "192.168.1.10:/video" ; then
break
fi
done

could you please post the "Device or Resource Busy message" ?

thanks

ok, I'm happy to test it. But first I have to get my device back after trying to flash 1.2. Obviously I did something wrong. In flashtool I choose the attached .img files and flashed. After restarting i only get blank screen. I managed to get into cwm but device doesn't repond on power button (usb mouse does work, but confirmation bij power button doesn't).
Now I trying to get back to stock Rom first, then I will try 1.2.1.
is there some special handling after flashing?
I included all .img files, except kernel-720 and kernel-1080, is that ok?

EDIT: Ok, I managed to get back to Stock Rom. Now I'm going to try 1.2.1. Fingers crossed....

Thanks Wasser. I will try your method tonight and post my results.
