UPDATED - CX919 - 4.2.2 - Finless ROM 1.6b

[peety]

Thanks

If I remember right 1.6 was missing touch input when it came out so bob quickly fixed it hence i.6b,so to answer your question 1.6b is the next rom after 1.5...(1.6b is a almost perfect rom)

ok. Thanks. will give it a go then..

[blinkone]

Anyone have a link/copy of the 1.6 rom? Not 1.6b... unless im getting confused and it went from 1.5 to 1.6b. Been awhile since I have had to reflash with tool. Been using cwm. Thanks.

Try this rom & yes the instructions are in the download http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...nless-ROM-1-6b

Yes, I went with this ROM and it worked really well for me. Thank you.

Is this ROM supposed to work with CX919 V2.0? I get no HDMI output when I've tried this. The Finless ROM 2.0 - KitKat 4.4.2 for CX-919 - BETA does work, but HD video is choppy and wifi sucks.

Cheers,

Jake

Hello. I installed the 1.5 Finless Rom several months ago but I have I completely forgotten how I did that. Are the instructions packed with the ROM? I will be using my CX-919 to watch movies off my shared Hard disk (attached to my router). Do you recommend any other ROM and Kernel for the same?

OK download this update.zip
Make sure in google drive you use the upper left menu to download the zip NOT the files within.
e.g file menu then download

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9BFwCzfMWZ8bFdXSFAwSVBQY00/edit?usp=sharing

Put this on your internal SDcard or on an external micro SDcard.
To put it on internal in settings turn on USB storage.
Open you My Computer icon on your PC and open the AOSP device. If tis doesn't show up then in settings, storage, click the 3 dots in the upper right and change it to Mass Storage. Now an internal SDcard should show up on your PC.
Copy the update.zip there.
GO back into setting and turn off USB.
Wait a few seconds on the desktop and you should get a prompt that it found an update. Click yes to install it.
On reboot another prompt will ask you if you want to delete the update.zip from sdcard. Click yes so you don't keep getting nagged about the update. Note: click yes can take a few seconds after boot! Don't worry it's not stuck. Just wait for the system to settle down and the yes button should work.

Let me know if this fixes it.

Bob

Is this update.zip valid for mk809iii under kitkat?
It ia only valid for cx919? For rk3188 only? Can I use with rk3086 (imito mx1 kitkat)?
Can you provide new link? It is down.

Many thanks in advance

--EDITED--
Flashed to the latest rom, mentioned below from Geekbuying - wifi problem wasen't solved
from 59Mb connection went down to 5Mb

Hi all.

I have CX-919 ( bought from GeekBuying )
I tried to flash this version, but the wifi is doing problems of slowliness....
It was good before arount 15Mb at "Speedtest".
( Internet in my mobile says 40Mb - same network )

from what I've read, I need to install new firmware, but it's for AP2610 (wifi) devices
I checked and my wifi chipset is "BCM4330"

what should I do ?
do I need to try this ROM ?

Thats the problem I have too. I have tried various cables and different PCs (one Windows, one Linux)

smells like a dodgy batch

Hi guys,

New to the Android mini PC world although I have some background in Android ROM cooking.

What I know is that every Android device needs to have a boot loader, a recovery and a kernel besides the system, data and cache partitions.

Now, this flash mode that everyone is talking about I assume is the recovery mode. I don't seem to be having problems getting there but for some reason the device connects/disconnects from the PC intermittently meaning that I follow the procedure to get to "flash mode" and the PC just starts playing the USB connect and USB disconnect sound one after another for about 10 times until the device decides to reboot into Android.

To make it simple:
USB device connect sound: DING
USB device disconnect sound: DONG

What happens:
DING -> Windows message "USB device not recognised...bla"->DONG
DING -> Windows message "USB device not recognised...bla"->DONG
DING -> Windows message "USB device not recognised...bla"->DONG
DING -> Windows message "USB device not recognised...bla"->DONG
...x10

Then reboots to Android.

Any hints?

Hi.

I´ve got the exact same problem as icezar, and I´ve tried several cables and computers, and nothing is working.

Is is locked in anyway, or what is the problem?

Hiya.


this may seem a strange request, but if there any way someone could package this into an update.zip that can be used from the internal sd. (ie. found an update.zip would you like to flash it)

I have a cx 919, but the OTG port is broken, so I cant connect it to a PC.

I only wanted the thing for netflix and with the stock rom it is crappy

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your reply blinkone. I downloaded the kernel files, tried 3 different versions. They all flash fine and boot fine, but no joy. When I turn on WiFi it attempts to do so, then just toggles it off again.

Try this kernel with finless 1.6b rom bet it works

I recently acquired a CX-919. It seemed to work OK, but had issues with streaming any video at all, it would lock up, or pause so often it was unwatchable even though it seemed to fully buffer (which you can see in YouTube).

After trying everything I could I decided to try see if the venerable Finless ROM would would help. Flashed fine with default simon_no_oc kernal, but when I turned it on no HDMI output. I tried both of the simon_no_oc kernals (1080 and 720) and same thing. Then I tried the stock kernal 720 and low and behold it booted with HDMI and everything looked great. However, neither WiFi or Bluetooth will work.

I found 3 other ROM versions that flash fine, boot, and seem to function just fine, but the WiFi or Bluetooth just don't work. Neomode's ROM does the same thing as the simon kernals, no HDMI output.

And I didn't dump the rom before I flashed...

Everything else with the Finless rom functions perfectly as far as I can tell but Wifi and Bluetooth.

I hope this is just me

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here are the basic specs:
Operating System Android 4.2.2
Processer RK3188 Quad-core Cortex A9
GPU Quad-core Mali-400
Memory 2GB DDR3
Internal Storage 8GB NAND Flash

Try this kernel with finless 1.6b rom bet it works
