[soldiaz]

mo123 mCould you mention ddr4, lpddr 3 or dd3 and WiFi and bt chip pls

[mo123]

For DDR4, RTL8723DS wifi/bt chip combo.

[soldiaz]

Thanks!!

[soldiaz]

Mmmh, thinking of MX10. Could your firm suit? But according to dealer's information it is RAM 4 GB DDR3 :-(

[mo123]

Mmmh, thinking of MX10. Could your firm suit? But according to dealer's information it is RAM 4 GB DDR3 :-(

Not sure, a lot of DDR3 devices people tested on didn't work or things ran slowly.

[soldiaz]

In case I had DDR3 bootloader / uboot, could I simply exchange?

[mo123]

Don't know if that will work as it has to be based on the same source code.
Try and use MaskROM to restore your device to the stock firmware if it doesn't work.

[soldiaz]

mmh yes, maybe....ill try to flash system.img only

[Atif Munir]

mo123 can you update this rom with AP6255 wifi driver..?? or any other way to flash AP6255 wifi driver only?

[soldiaz]

Hynix H26M78002BFR64GB NAND
MT41K1G4RH-125:E DDR3 Speicher IC 4 Gb (1 G x 4) Parallel 800MHz
SV6051P wifi

One of the worst possible devices you could have bought that's already discontinued.
You probably got a clone of the original MX10 as well or the manufacturer switched over to even cheaper parts and DDR3 without informing anyone.
Oh yes, some super cheap RK3328 devices also don't have bluetooth, don't expect it ever to be there if it is not listed in the specs.

[soldiaz]

Thanks for info. Not really an issue since I can return it :-P

I did not check carefully enough - i dont know why I thought this unit comes with BT....

Overall performance is ok, dealer suggests partly refund instead of return...

  Some other file managers only use Samba v1 which has less than half of the network performance of Samba v2.0. Kodi 18 also uses Samba v2 so you can use that to setup your network shares if playing high bit-rate videos over ethernet to get the best network speed.

• Fixed Google Play Store new layout to use the top Apps/Games/Updates/Settings menu correctly. Seems it’s a server side switch by Google and not everyone gets updated to the new layout.

  Install the client app on your phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ay.remotephone
• Add Kodi and Nova Video Player app preinstalled.
  Nova is a very decent video player app with poster art, subtitle download, network playback, auto frame-rate switching and audio passthrough and works better than VLC & MXPlayer. Check the useful guide to use it optimally.
• Nova now supports 10-Bit H265 video playback on Rockchip devices
• Also supports 10-Bit H264 software decoding used by Anime videos.
  (1080p support still wip)
• Improved auto frame-rate switching accuracy and removed unused resolutions.
  * Youtube Vanced login support added so you don’t have to use the rooted versions.

Use at your own risk.
Make sure you have a backup or your stock firmware and know how to use MaskROM Mode and short the correct pins.
Oreo firmware was reported to not work on some DDR3 devices since the MVR9 device uses DDR4 RAM.
(I bricked my devices 9 or 10 times before I got the final firmware working correctly, but it works now on MVR9 devices with DDR4)

Nice and excellent info about Custom ROM I really like to read it and also I would like to try it soon. Thanks for sharing

Please remove google account at first startup in v1.3, if possible then add some extra features

The ROM is not compatible with SCISHION v88.
If you have the device the firmware was made for then the wifi will work and you can finish the setup.
