UPDATED - CX919 - 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 1.6b

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

The drivers (and instructions) are included in the Finless ROM Zip file in the first post of this thread.

My CX-919 stick did not have a picture on the TV when it went into bootloader mode. You should first see that Windows found new hardware. After the driver install per instructions, the flash software should find the stick. After flashing, the stick should automatically reboot and come up normal.

All of this is covered in the instructions provided in the Finless ROM Zip file. Bob made it pretty easy for us.

Don't know if you can use a 64 G SD Card. I am using a 32 G.

Hope this helps...Brad

My TV displayed the green robot properly while in boot loader mode. At least I could see when partitions where formatted etc. Maybe that is another mode though, I am not sure.

Tested yesterday with latest xbmc nightly and it worked fine for the few samples I ran it with.

I got 17.5k points in antutu with 1.6Ghz, 600Gpu, 667Ram and 720p. The score seems a bit low, but the experience was pretty smooth.

It'd be nice with 1080p, hopefully I can get that working at some point if noone happens to do it before.

It did not stutter at all that I could see, which version SDK is this based on, 1, 2 or something else? (I realize it is the newly released one, I just don't know what version it is)

Signature? Signature!

thanks so i dont need to use the included cd at all?

[BP-isMe]

I did not use the CD

I don't think I even opened the CD. Have not missed it yet.

After getting the unit, I turned it on to make sure it worked then flashed it using Bob's Finless 1.6b within 10 minutes. I had downloaded it and read the included instructions before the unit arrived.

I just got my CX-919 and threw in this rom and it looks nice. GJ!
I don't know what to expect from a TV stick like this because it's very minimal.
But I think the overall experience is a bit laggy, when you scroll and zoom web pages etc.
I watched some random Youtube clip where they run Nenamark2 and got 60fps result.

I ran the test on my device and got only 36fps, why is that?
Could it be the kernel or resolution?

<sub>2 things. 1 i loaded the 1080P kernal and when i click on 1080p in the settings it goes black and then after about 30 seconds it comes back up with 720P
Now i know my tv supports this as i have done ouyas, minix neo x5, MX2 and other XBMC boxes all running 1080p. So should i redo it?

Also how can i get the original interface? i have someone who wants the wood look that the stock launcher has

Ok i tried redoing this and now i get an error it says timeout waiting for loader rock usb timeout</sub>

I've just run nenamark2 on my CX-919 and got 59.8fps so I think it is very good for my "lame" CX-919. I'm calling it "lame" because for some reason it works only with 1.416Mhz kernels, all 1.6Ghz or higher kernels give flickering and screen flashes every few seconds. I am using Finless 1.6b with the "latest stock kernel" from 20131119, this combination is the best rom (so far) for my device. Your CX-919 is very new so it is probably the same model as mine. Anyway, you may try to install this rom, here I described how i did it, but read the other posts in this thread as well - one guy somehow bricked his device but then successfully revived it, so do it at your own risk

Stuck on reboot

Hey guys

Have the CX-919 with finless 1.6b running. Over the last two weeks I have had issues rebooting. Twice now it has stuck on the reboot screen with the flashing red lights after I have powered down the device with the finless reboot app. I had all my settings and apps pretty much perfect and now I'm ticked I cant get back in. I did make a CWM Recovery Image but am not sure how to flash back to it. Should I use the finless rom flash tool or the batch tool somehow? This is the list of files in my saved image. thanks.

also: does TWRP work for our devices?

also: does TWRP work for our devices?

TWRP definitely does not work with RK3188. It causes a major crash and potentially brick device.

One more question - have anyone been getting the sdcard error?

Seems like on every turn off / on it wants to format my internal sdcard...

it was not a problem on the first time, thought it is just a glitch - but happened again, so i wanted to clarify if this happens to anyone else?

Screen Problems

Hi,
I've installed this on my CX-919 units (i have 2) and have some issues on both,
I've loaded the Finless Flash Tool 1.37, connected the device pressing the FN button and changed the Kernel to kernel1080_simon_no_oc and the boot to boot1080. the rest i left as they ware.

i earesed the NAND and then Flashed the ROM with the above changes,
when connecting the device to the TV after successful flash there is a problem - the screen is flashing \ flicking. it does it from the booting stage and keep on the running stage.

once in a while the whole screen goes black for 2 seconds and come back.

this hasen't happen with the original ROM, but i must run the device on 1080P.

any fix or solution? a i doing anything wrong?

thanks.
