Got mine today (with Mele10) and updated to latest firmware (thanks Deadhp1!) from http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=1113

Works great now, resolution runs very smoothly at 1920x1080p, i installed XBMC along with few apps and everything runs flawlessly.

I ordered larger micro SD card and was wondering if someone can post instructions on how to expand the partition of Deadhp1's firmware under win64 so that you can install more apps?

What's Mele10 ?
[Member-Found Deals] nini1:
Mele 10 is a remote http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Mele...Android-smart-TV-HD-Computer-HTPC-306590.html

Works well (granted i never own a remote like this before) but i wonder how i can remap some of the button cause the on/off and few others are doing nothing. Wish it would have back-light as well, more info here http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/and...perfect-air-mouse-keyboard-remote-3069-2.html

Any one that already have the device can answer me?

Thank you.
[Member-Found Deals] fma965:
hi i would recommend asking here

http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewforum.php?f=50

i have one but do not have HDMI passthrough compatible equipment.
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I'd say that it doesn't support passthrough...right now.

The hardware is totally capable, in fact it's listed in the freescale documents, but I haven't seen it on any of the official freescale android builds.

I think that the only devices that actually do hdmi passthrough are the aml8726 based boxes/sticks.

The only one I have experience with is the Tronsmart Prometheus with the aml8726MX, it has hdmi passthrough listed in the audio options.

My HDTV doesn't do DTS, but it can decode the AC3 signal sent by that.
[Member-Found Deals] ewoks:
what u can say about GK802 in comparing with ProBox2 (remote included)?
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I'm really partial to the GK802 at this point. There just a bunch more that can be done with it.

I can actually switch resolutions in Android and it changes the UI too.

However the RK3066 sticks are a bit more polished. They've got some custom roms out and there is a bit of dev work being done on the leaked incomplete kernels....Just keep in mind that there are not yet any custom kernels for the Mediatek wifi based RK3066 sticks.
[Member-Found Deals] SpiderMikey88:
Ebay has them listed for $12.00. i just ordered 2 of them today.

[Member-Found Deals] krasnoff:

[Member-Found Deals] nini1:
Thanks, i tried that one and it freezes on my device. It seems to be a common issue with all the TV stick though, so i'm hoping someone will find the right app soon.
[Member-Found Deals] steve_77:
question -- please help point me in right direction :)

Ok im hoping to at least get some feedback - Im new to the Mini PC thing - was wondering though about capability. These things look pretty cool im especially interested in an linux version as id like to play around with one of these and try to us eit as a media server r (music, video, secure ftp) which of the following devices would be best suited to this - aside from the Zealz GK802 - which i dont even know if it can be rooted and run linux - i was mainly interested in the rikomagic mk802IIIS and the unknown mk808B. Dont mean to hijack this thread, if someone cold point me to a better place to inquire more about the capability of such devices that would be great. At the moment as far as a dual core that can support Ubuntu based distro it would appear that these 2 devices ( mk802 IIIS & MK808B) appear to be the best from a hardware perspective until the rockchip 3166 comes out or a version of linux is able to run on the GK802, but in case i over-looked some other option or what not which of these would be a good fit for a low-power media server?
[Member-Found Deals] fma965:
the gk802 can be rooted and can run ubuntu. http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewforum.php?f=51

:)

no idea for the rest of your question though
[Member-Found Deals] steve_77:
Thanks for the linux clarification :)

Guess I'm wondering if anyone has one of these things and uses it as a media server (if so have you found any issues with audio or video streaming - in terms of XBMC / subsonic or what not with media files on some attached SSD for low power consumption "cloud" storage that can be accessed over the net?

Secondly is this device (being a 4 core cpu by freescale) better off than other lesser known cpu's (i.e. rockchip)?
[Member-Found Deals] fma965:
Bumping this as

Uboot and kernel source for GK802 is released

So yes thats right the sourcode for kernel and uboot released :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decent Mirror (Dev-Host)

uboot-ga.tgz (14.1 MB) - http://d-h.st/uvK

kernel_imx-ga.tgz (184.37 MB) - http://d-h.st/7RF

Dev-Host GK802 Folder (Kernel and uBoot Source)
[Member-Found Deals] fma965:
1. i currently run a mysql,webserver,php and XBMC... the gk802 being my media server running the mysql db and other servers, all other devices connect to it using XBMC mysql functions. I use stickmount to mount a NTFS USB HDD (read only) although that is probably gonna change now that source is out.

To quote something i emailed someone the other day.

Now this allows me to have my Media any where on my network using XBMC or just webbrowser, obviously this could be changed to work over internet via portforwarding etc.

hope this helps
[Member-Found Deals] csaket:
Well the package finally arrived.

It seemed very light. Opened it up to find a worthless toy sunglass.

It was shocking to say the least.

On the other hand eBay was quick in helping out. The money is refunded and the seller has been suspended.

Buyer beware I guess.

[Member-Found Deals] johho:
HI ALL.

I really hope you can help me, i think i have bricked my GK802 in some way.. :(

It arrives today. Out of the box, i connected to our Sony Bravia TV and bootet. So far no problem, all seems to work.

Cause im a real dev fan, i decided tu use the newest Firmware and maybee even give ubuntu a try.

So i downloaded the availiable ubuntu image and "burned" it like the text told with WinImage to my 16GB SD.

Then i put this into my GK802 and rebootet.

Nothing happend. after 15 minutes still black screen.

So i tried to boot the "original" 8GB SD with Android again, worked..

so far so good.

Than i downloaded the newest Firmware Update full image "rooted_fixed_rt-M500a_v1.65.4_20130118a_updated_FULL_IMAGE.dd" and installed it the same way..

Same effort. Black Screen while rebooting.

I tried this a few times up and down with diffrent SD Cards, but no effort.

Next i tried to apply the "official" Update file with externam SD while using recovery mode. Fast version: i was not able to get into recovery mode at all, no matter how andhow long or short i pressed the Reset button before, while or after powering on the device.

Now, the Device boots with the original 8GB Android, but my mouse and keyboard doesnt work anymore, so that im not able to control the device! :( :(

So it seems i have bricked my original Android Installation somehow, but how can i get it work again?

Some ideas?

PS: Not i messed up completly.. to be sure it doesn't depend on my sd cards i burned the image to the original SD card. Now the device dont boot anymore. Black screen :(

seems i need a proffen working SD Card image for a "second production generation" GK802... can someone help me out???

PPS: I also tried with 3 diffrent power supplies, original one (2A/5v), RaspberryPi (2A/5V) and Samsung Power Supply 1,5A/5V).
[Member-Found Deals] alg5:
There a many scammer which are selling android stick lately.

It looks like some sellers get good feedback sellings cheap stuff then turn scam and advert stuff which are selling quite well.

so beware of any cheap hdmi stick auction on ebay, and check is seller has already good feedback for such device.
[Member-Found Deals] fma965:
u already solved this haven't you... i read it on the other forum that you had.
[Member-Found Deals] Furma:
Hi, I have few noob questions about these Android stick devices:

1) Can you connect it to any device with HDMI port or? For example I would like to connect mine to Pioneer A/V receiver which has 4 HDMI inputs and then I would use my android smartphone (HTC One X) to stream music (via bluetooth or wifi) directly to GK802 which would then output the sound over my A/V receiver

this is the general idea:

HTC One X music player > Bluetooth or WiFi (DLNA) > GK802 > A/V receiver > speakers (I would completely avoid using GK802 video capability and just use it for sound streaming)

If there is a better solution for this (wireless streaming of my music over android phone to my A/V receiver I would like to hear it - stand alone blu-ray wifi players are not an option)

2) Is it possible to connect any wireless accessory to GK802? For example I have logitech MK710 wireless keyboard+mouse? Do I have to install any drivers for it or what?

3) Can I connect usb stick/external HDD which has an mkv movie on it to GK802 and play it on my TV or do I have to use an SD card?

Thanx
[Member-Found Deals] johho:
sorry yes i have solved it..

It seems i cant burn the Images from my Win8 machine. I have to copy the image from ubuntu system to the SD card, than it works.

I don't know why but i didnt researched any further.
[Member-Found Deals] :
I'm selling my new GK802. I live in Calgary Canada. Send me a pm if interested.
[Member-Found Deals] GigiAUT:
Not really impressed

I got mine on Monday after having it held up at customs here in Austria. I ordered two but Miniand doesn't do free shipping, so it cost me a lot more when I add shipping and the duty I had to pay. I thought it would be a nice device to use as a dedicated XBMC server for my tv. So far the Bluetooth hasn't been good to me, I'll keep trying different handests and we'll see what happens when my keyboard arrives. It works with my Logitech mouse but it's a nano receiver so I think it interferes with the WiFi sometimes. I'll try with another wireless mouse tonight.

I was kind of disappointed at the performance in XBMC (official Android version). I threw a full HD (1080p, 3600kbps) video at it and it stuttered and jumped like crazy in XBMC. MX Player played it smoothly for the most part, maybe here and there a small frame drop or jitter but still noticeable. Processor speed is locked to 996MHz, no way so far to unlock the full 1,2GHz. I've heard it's the same with all the other devices based on Freescales i.mx6.

I don't know. I was expecting a bit more. Right now I'm using XBMC with my external HDD (250Gig Western Digital) and it plays standard definition files quite ok. 720p also seems to be ok. I'm just a bit bummed by the 1080p being a bit of an issue. Maybe the bitrate was too high. I'll keep experimenting though.

Wireless mouse and keyboard work, yes. And you can use external hard drives. I've got mine set up with a USB hub. But I tried plugging in a Flash drive and my HDD and it only showed one. So I think you can only use one USB drive at a time.

Temperature.

Hi all.

Has anyone experienced thermal issues?

I intend to use this device for 24h continuous torrent download.

Do you think that's wise?

Thanks!...and excuse my english.
[Member-Found Deals] GigiAUT:
It does get pretty hot when it plays movies but the case is metal, so I think it acts as a heatsink. I've been thinking about mounting an external heatsink onto the case and see what that does.

I did a retest. Turns out the GK802 can handle 1080p smoothly, just need the right codecs. It plays videos from a GoPro in MX-Player without any issues.
[Member-Found Deals] eksasol:
For those who doesn't realize, there are hardware accelerated test builds for XBMC. It can stream 720p MKV smoothly on my Galaxy Nexus, these sticks are faster so they should manage 1080p as well.

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/android/

With this and instruction on how to fix the WiFi issue on the MK808 I went ahead and ordered one, it will be replacing out HTPC which is a laptop right now. Have no need for quadcore and wasn't going to wait another 3 months for the Ouya to release.
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
The libstagefright xbmc builds do not do too well on the GK802 right now. Of course the external player versions of XBMC fair much better.

I'm hoping the next android update from Freescale will handle stagefright a bit better.

There's some news on the GK802 Ubuntu front.

Some devs have been working on the GK802 and have gotten EGL and GLES running nicely.

They've also been able to compile the kernel finally.

http://jas-hacks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/gk802-ubuntu-update-1-gpuvpu.html

Pretty impressive.

As far as heat is concerned I personally run an external heatsink on my GK802. It's very effective.

http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=1112

It goes from hot, to just barely warm about 1 minute after attaching the heatsink and doesn't build up anymore heat.

(I've run mine for weeks at a time now.)

It's just a basic mod. Take an older heatsink and zip tie it to the top of the case above the i.mx6q processor.(opposite side of the writing).

The best part is that you can remove it with no issues.
[Member-Found Deals] johho:
Maybee its time to get a own GK802 Sub-Forum here at xda-devs?...that would be awsome cause XDA Forum is always my first place to look for things about my diffrent android devices....

[Member-Found Deals] eksasol:
I know this isn't the same device, but since people might be interested. I just got the MK808 and here is a review I wrote on it:

Really dislike how these thing don't come with a physical power button.
[Member-Found Deals] deadhp1:
I'd prefer them to come with power button, volume rocker, TINY battery, and a reset button.

We'll get there eventually.

I've got a Measy U2C which has a power button(and a built in webcam!)

not appear any error after installation reboot and voila boot anim.

not change the folder META-INF
