Agree, also have been waiting for the KitKat for the CX-919...

Really hope that Finless or Neomode could Make a New ROM for us!

Great

Great news...

Yes, hope Finless Rom is created with this update.

Ideal, would be to have 4.4 wrapped into finless Rom and have it multibootable into linux as option..

I have tested the Firmware. It is not bad, overall.
It is Android 4.4.2.
But the Kernel is not o.k. It is Downclocked to 1.2 GHz and 400 MHz GPU.
I begin to make a Custom Rom with it.
Now we get a Antutu Score of only 13.000 :-(

Happy to know Neomode that you will make a Custom ROM with the New KitKat for us...

Hope that will work fast with our CX-919 and AP6210.

Ansious waiting to start testing your ROM with this New Android KitKat..

Thanks for all your Efforts!!

here is what does not work with CX 919:
- sound level
- camera logitech c170
- micro sd not mounted essential to have sound and camera with google now…

I have tested the firmware from Arctablet but the firmware did not run stable.
Also wifi works not well.

Hi all,

I tried this rom out and found the following things.

Wifi works but is funky. sometimes in the wifi screen it says disabled but continues to work just fine.

Hulu, Netflix, and XBMC seem to operate well no video stutter.

SD card needs to be mounted after every boot annoying but workable.

I have no BT device so I can not check.

I have ran in to and app or to that will not run and says please disable secondary display. same apps ran with Finless roms.

As Neomode mentioned Antutu is terrible in the 13,000- 14,000 range.
this was because the rom has locked the maximum CPU to 1.2 GHz

I was able to use imgRepackerRK to unpack the ROM and then use overclockomatic script by PJ Anderson to get the speed back to 1.6GHz Doing this method I had to comment part of the script that handles GPU overclock as the Kernel had less entries that the Perl script. only down fall to this is CPU range is 1.2GHZ to 1.6 with the patched kernel

After all was said and done the kernel I repacked was 1.6Ghz CPU stock GPU and 667 Ram.

This rom remained stable and brought Antutu up to 17791.

Of course I take no credit because these methods had already been outlined here in the forum.

If anyone needs a test subject I will gladly volunteer and provide any feedback / logs needed.

Thanks to all

I was able to modify the patcher script and get

5 CPU scale steps
5 GPU steps
2 DDR steps.


Stay tuned I will have a ROM very soon with a nice selection of OC'ed kernels.

Bob can you share the modified script, I would like to give it a try. Happy new 2014 to everyone.

I frigged the MK908 beta KitKat ROM to allow its use on a T428 (equivalent) and got a decent Antutu score

Steps were:

1. Download Kasty's rooted version of the MK908 KK beta -> here
2. extracted the kernel and used patchomatic to clock cpu/GPU/RAM to 1608/600/667
3. Flashed the image, then flashed the modded kernel
4. Installed the teminal emulator apk
5. Made /System writable: su + "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtd/by-name/system /system"
6. renamed the current chipset firmwares: mv fw_RK901.bin fw_RK901.bak & mv nvram_AP6210.txt nvram_AP6210.bak
7. Copied the AP6330 equivalents fw_RK903_ag.bin / nvram_AP6330.txt to replace
8. Rebooted

This made the wifi work but only on 2.4 GHz! No BT Still better than nothing and good enough for me.

I installed Antutu and it gave a result of 18,250 but with a really low GPU score which makes me think that the overclocking of the GPU didn't work.

I tested a 1080p AC3 video and it played fine using the "Video" app

Finless KitKat ROM

OK folks I posted my new ROM based on this KitKat release.
