UPDATED - CX919 - 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 1.6b

[JugsteR]

Re: UPDATED - CX919 - 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 1.6b

If I am not mistaken, the spec for the chip allows for 800Mhz ram, 1800Mhz cpu, and 500Mhz gpu. If I am wrong, please correct me. If you have time (or more trouble sleeping) could you make Kernels with that spec? I would personalty use the 720p one. I put some heatsinks on my chips.

Thank You for your help...Brad

Which spec do you mean?
Originally I think the device was being run at 1.6Ghz, 800Mhz, 400Mhz (CPU, ram, GPU)

There have been rk3188 which have been said to run 1.8Ghz, but iirc the cx919 was not one of them. It all depends on which temperature you can keep the different parts at basically.

My cx919 works fine for my workload with 1.6Ghz, 1333Mhz & 600Mhz. Remember, DDR667 is double data rate 667 = 1333.

What the spec allows and what your particular device can handle may not even be remotely close if you are unlucky. It is a trial and error kind of deal if you are serious about it.

That said, I think many devices handle the settings I use pretty well.

Sure, I can build a kernel for you, what specs do you want? If anything higher than what I use, I recommend active cooling.

Signature? Signature!

I couldn't sleep, so I built a kernel for you... Actually two, one 720p and one 1080p.

1080p: https://mega.co.nz/#!RJ5WkKiL!HIzBYB...Zz77juovJ3RpEY
720p: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZABwyLCQ!IGXlNy...uK30OOykNMj4Wk

These have sams stutter fix, 667Mhz ram, 1608Mhz cpu, and 600Mhz gpu.

Have fun, and if something breaks my email address is [email protected] =)

It's super easy if you're careful and follow the instructions. Took me about an hour. If you go to http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...733#post127733 and download the two packages he mentions in the post. In one of the zip files is a readme. Follow the instructions exactly (my only deviation is that my CX 919's Blue LED did NOT turn off when i put it into flash mode) and when you get to the part where he says how you have options to select a kernel, follow the instructions and browse to whatever kernel you want to use.Remember, I used the 1608 667 400.

You'll be fine, but good luck anyways.

U t the man! I'll try it and let you know if it worked for me too.
Thanks again!

Hi! Thts great! Thanks for your help. How do you do that?? Any tutorial or advise?

After changing the settings --> screen --> HMDI to a sub HD resolution, the flickering went away, but as that made most of the experience unwatchable we decided to flash to Finless 2.0 Beta.

The default kernel set in the Rom Flasher for his 2.0 "kit" continued giving us problems, but then we reflashed using the CPU scaled to 1608, 667 RAM and 400 GPU iirc and it worked great. Testing now, to determine long term reliability.

Again all this is on the CX 919, but planning to play around with the MK 802 IV ROM and Kernels today to see if I can settle on something reliable there too.

Will keep you updated,

It happens the same to me! Any luck?

For some reason or another, Finless 1.6b has been giving me HDMI problems - the screen flickers and sometime flashes to black. I'm going to flash Finless 2.0 to see if that solves the problem. (I'll be keeping your kernel JugsteR.)

Thank you JugsteR. My dad used to always say that. Then he put me in the driver's seat of his stick shift and I crashed into a tree. It was a gentle crash though, and I did eventually learn. Will report back.

I could possibly build one for you, but it will take some time before I'm able to do that, sleep and work is prioritized

If you are so inclined you could easily build it yourself. All source is available at github. There is a script called Marvin that does everything for you.

https://github.com/HenrikNilsson/Kernel-3188

and

https://github.com/HenrikNilsson/marvin

When using Marvin it is possible to lower or raise limits for various parts if anything is unstable. It requires 64bit Linux. Available virtually if on windows.

This is a "give a man a fish he eats for a day teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime" kind of scenario.

Thank you, I'm going to emulate your conditions and test. Do you mind sharing your kernel or a similar kernel?

@jboo I have been trying kit kat for 3 weeks now.....no issues so far

Thank you Sanju_x20. We have two devices, so I can update one to Android 4.4.

I will report back once I have found a solution. If anyone else thinks of anything in the meantime, I'm subscribed to the tread and will be alerted ASAP of any new methods or devices to try.

I use 1.6b, with my own kernel, and I've had it running for several weeks without a restart. Videos have at most been playing about 8 consecutive hours. My CPU is set to scale to 1608, my RAM is at 667 Mhz and the GPU at 400 iirc.

Mind you I have not tried looping videos endlessly with this setup, but it is stable enough for me.
