Hello guys

Any app for netflix hd?

Netflix sais 480p streaming is supported to android.

Is there any custom app for jelly bean at mk809 ii that plays 720p?

I have found some posts from 2011 but the apps do not work.

Any link appreciated.

How to know its MK809 II

Hi Everybody, after 6 weeks I at last got my Android Stick. The issue is that I believe that I did not get the MK809 II :crying:

1) Nothing written on the stick

2) If I calculate the memory size it comes to something like 7 GB (should be 8)

4) and the processor I can only see one.

Here's some information that I found:

- When it starts up it show a screen written down ""R-BOX"

- Model Number: rk30sdk

- Android 4.1.1

- Kernel Version:3.0.8+, ant@test-desktop #161, SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 15....

- Build number, RK30_ANDROID4.1.1-SDK-v1.00.1015

I have used the app Android Sysem Info:

- CPU Processor 1 ARMv7, I cant find a description of Processor 2.

Anybody knows another app or where can I look that the Android Stick is actually a MK809 II!! Or can somebody screenshots whereby I could compare with it.

Desktop 1280 x 672

1. Why does Android have this resolution and not 1920 x 1080? Are HD movies scaled? Do I need a modified Android kernel to see Android apps in 1920x1080?

2. I tried to download com.mitty.app from Google Play but it says that it is not compatible. Why? Should I try to change the density? How can I see the requirements of apps in Google Play?

Thanks,

I'm trying to install Finless 1.5 but I can't seem to connect to the PC.

Whether I try enabling mass storage mode there is no connection. Pushing the little button brings up android-on-it's-back with belly open. After a minute boot into the normal OS.

Also the instruction from the Finless ROM do not detect the device in mass storage (selected mass storage mode, disabled USB debugging, and switched on the USB connection to PC. That last one is off again after reboot; is that normal?)

Whether in Linux or in Windows, there is no USB device detected. No boing in Windows, nothing in dmesg in Linux. Not with the port on the side next to the SD, and not with the port next to the big USB. I tried 2 cables and different ports on the laptop.

What now? Try an extra power supply on a powered hub in the middle? Any idea?

Also the RK batch tool does not recognize the device....
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jutezak:
To answer my own post: it was the cables. Used the cable from my LG smartphone and everything worked.

When pushing the little button the screen stayed blach instead of landing on the 'android with open belly on its back' screen.

Windows saw the device, installed the driver from device manager, and flashed all including bootloader.

So far so good! Thanks, Finless Bob!

Another 'yes' for Finless 1.5 on the MK809II !

Hi all.

Iv had my mk809ii for a month now & i love it,iv not upgraded my firmwhere yet im still on the stock rom iv been watching this forum & the finless 1.5 rom sounds pritty good i like the idea of being able to use the xbox controller with some games, i have a few questions, for you guys

1. does the 1.5 finless rom still have the shut down butten on the bottem tool bar witch the mk809ii rom has?

2. can you guys confirm if i install this rom will my bluetooth & wifi both still work?

3. will i loose anything the stock rom has?

4. will i gain much from the finless rom?

5. & is it possable to revert back to the stock rom after installing the finless rom?.

thanks for you time..
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] crashka:
Hi,

I have Finless rom v1.5 on my MK809II.

1. Yes, the shut down button is there. Additionally you can use the "Reboot" application which is built in the rom. You have several options like shutdown, reboot, reboot to recovery, etc.

2. I've never used bluetooth, but wifi is definitely working.

3. I don't think so, nothing is missing for me.

4. Yes, you will: root access, native 1080 resolution, less lag, etc.

5. Yes, you can go back to stock rom anytime.

Is it possible to play BAD PIGGIES with Finless ROM?

With a normal ROM, it can be loaded but no response to inputs.

I have encountered such a funny situation only with that game.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jutezak:
I've just installed Finless 1.5 on the 809ii. Biggest thing I'm missing is that the home and menu keys on the Mele F10 do not work any more. They worked on the stock rom! The back key works though.

But 1080p resolution and root are great.

The stock ROM has some extra live screensavers; I'm for example missing the cloud one. Also it has no Youtube app. You can install that from the market, but that one does not want to play full screen and the search function seems missing.

Bluetooth is working and the frequency went up to 1.6 GHz. I downclocked it to 1.2. Also changed the lowest clock to 800ish MHz and changed to Ondemand governor and Deadline IO scheduler with No-Frills CPU control. It was a bit laggy with Finless (very strange, huh?), but now it is not.

[FOR ALL HAVING 'adb device' ISSUES] - need older adb

An important note to all those who, like me, have the Android SDK installed and adb in their path (or decide to use that adb and not the one in the TPSparky package attached by the OP).

In short, it won't work. Use the one in the package. =)

The OP states:

"

After the driver installation is complete you can do a quick test that all is OK so far

by opening a command prompt on your PC and typing "adb shell" and hitting enter.

If all is well you should get a remote adb shell to your MK809II.

"

...and you will, providing that you're using that adb...which is version 1.0.26.

I tried using 1.0.31 (which is in the SDK from Dec.2012/Jan 2013) and it doesn't see anything.

Interestingly enough, 1.0.26 reports the device id as:

0123456789ABCDEF

...which I'm pretty sure is not valid (i'm not an expert on Google's device UIDs but a safe guess is that they are supposed to be *unique* hehe.)

Anyways, i don't have the time resources to investigate why this is (and since there are a few clones of MK809II devices out there, YMMV). I am guessing it's probably related to the non-unique "UID", and that the mk809 vendor of these particular devices is playing loose with the ADB protocol standard; something that google likely patched somewhere from 1.0.26->1.0.31.

The short of it is that root DOES work as described by the OP as long as you use ADB version 1.0.26 on your host computer.

Very likely it'll work for SDK work too (debugging, deploying apps, etc)

~L.N.~

p.s. My device also had a very finnicky power appetite. I needed to use an external ACDC power brick->USB (use a 2.1Amp "ipad approved" one to be sure). *One thing to note though*: whenever you do this AND your computer is NOT a laptop AND/OR is NOT running on batteries, be careful that the ACDC charger and the computer are plugged into the **same** wall outlet! (or, if you're using a UPS, plug either both the computer and ACDC chrg. to the wall, or to the UPS, but not 1 to the wall and the other to the UPS). A ground differential can make weird things happen, and in very rare but severe cases where the diff is high, can destroy the mk stick, the computer's USB port, or both.

just FYI + word of friendly caution

Hi guy's & girls,, Well after almost six weeks of owning my mk809ii, last night i finaly plucked up the courage to install finless rom 1.5,,What was i worrying about i followed the step by step guid & after about 20 mins all is ok installed no problem at all.

I am having a issue with the xbox wired controller the main reason i installed this rom.

(Camera Spin in games)

iv followed a guid on freaktab how to solve it for a wirless controller

eg

copy Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl to you /system/usr/keylayout/ Don't forget to mount the system RW with the button on the to of the screen in RootExplorer.

Copy Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kcm to your /system/usr/keychars/

Next left click and hold till popup list appears and select permissions and change the permissions to rw-r--r--r do this for both copied files click button on top of screen to change system to RO reboot your device and your controller should now work in games like GTA III and vice city

but im stuck on this part (permissions to rw-r--r--r) i can only get rw-r-r i have no option to select the another r

In the popup list i have

user

group

other

so i set

user rw

group r

other r

What am i doing wrong any help would be very much appreciated how do i set (permissions to rw-r--r--r)

Have i followed the wrong guide? is there another guid for the wired controller
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
Should be rw r r octal 644

Thanks for the promt reply,im a noob to all this it took me 6 weeks to install finless 1.5 so after another six weeks i may have this controller working lol lol ..i now see that rw r r is 644 with permissions-calculator but do have to enter that 644 somewhere

iv got (rw r r) set for the 2 files saved & rebooted but still get camera spin..am i missing a file or something..thanks in advance you are all god's & i am a mere mortal..
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
nope the number corresponds with the permissions assigned to the files.

as specified mount the location rw to copy the first file to the path

then set the permissions as this example with rootexplorer

maybe someone else.

Hello!

I'm trying to watch some online tv programs using sopcast on this device.

Has anyone found anything that is a bit more "Arrow" friendly then XBMC? I find XBMC wants me to use the mouse often (or touch) and I have a tiny touch pad keyboard. It would be much easier if I could just use the arrows on the keyboard and the enter key to select.

I need some:

I have rooted my mk809ii using the method from the OP.

After that I decided to give finless 1.5 a try...but I can't get the drivers to install correctly. What I do is this:

1 - Connect the stick to computer and tv and let it boot.

2 - Connect to PC in settings (and make sure Debugging is on)

3 - Go to fastboot mode with adb reboot bootloader

4 - Try to flash the rom with the tool that comes in the finless rom package

Every time I get the same error that says that the device failed or some of the sort.

I have tried, after step 3 above, installing the drivers from the finless rom package going to device manager but I can never get rid of the yellow triangle. I did get them to (supposedly) install correctly, rebooted, but after that I got the same "device failed error".

My computer is running on Windows 8 32 bit.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I have tried a lot of different cables, including from my S2 and my Nexus 7. None of that made a difference...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] :
Literally went through this yesterday with win8. Make sure you have two micro USB, one for power and one connected to PC. I turned off debugging and connected via USB setting. Followed instructions to the letter and finally got there. The main issue I had was I had to toggle between MTP and mass storage for the flash tool to recognise the device. Once that happened all worked as the instructions said. Have to say it has made a world of difference.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Mechanisms:
Thanks for the tip, but even after connecting the with two cables I still have to reboot with adb even though the ROm flash tool recognises the device as a USB mass storage.

In fastboot mode the Rom flash tool also recognizes the device, as a usb, but I still get "Test device failed" error...I guess I will have to stay on stock rom:(
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] :
Try this, as leave mouse cursor over 'Reboot to Flash Mode' on your PC. On your MK debug off. Under storage switch to MTP. Connect via USB check. Go back to storage toggle to mass storage, as soon as your PC recognises the device hit the mouse for 'Reboot to...'. Read it somewhere and worked for me, almost gave up like you.

Hi guys, just bought a MK809II which was rooted with Finless v1.5 and am very happy with it so far.

I have a question which hasn't been asked so far in this thread (as far as I could see).

I am trying to use a USB Competition Pro joystick on UAE4droid but the device doesn't seem to recognise it when my 2.4G T3 air mouse/keyboard is plugged in at the same time.

When I reboot the MK809 with just the joystick plugged in it is recognised so its not a problem with the joystick itself. Unfortunately I can't simply get into UAE4droid using the air mouse and switch it out for the joystick as that doesn't work.

Is there any way for the MK809 to recognise both USB input from both devices simultaneously? I have done a fair bit of searching for the answer to this but no joy.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Compatible webcam for the MK809 II

Dear all,

Can someone please recommend compatible webcams for the MK809 II? I would like to use Skype but am having trouble finding any information over which webcams work perfectly with Skype.

Also, is it true that the Android camera driver limits the resolution to 640x480?

Many thanks in advance,

David
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
I myself tried a hercules classic webcam. Skype works with it. for what it looks the resulution is 640x480.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Echelonblue:
Tried both of the rooting methods.

I prefer the finless rom 1.5 flash.

Its easier to attain.

it gives you root. Its smoother in visualperformance than the stock rom with root. Also if you flash the rom in the standard settings, you'll get a 2gb /data partition instead of the 510mb in the stock rom.

if you flash this rom. and want CWM with it. just download the apropriate cwmrecovery image and swap the img file with the one in the finless rom

package.

Than flash it following the instructions that come with it.

How did you flash it? Just on top of 1.5 or did you do a factory reset first?

Just bought - not satisfied

Hello

2 days ago I got my mk809ii.

In 10 minutes it stopped booting after me playing with it around tv thinking how to attach it better. Most likely it was a problem of frequent power plug/unplug.

I flashed it using instructions and stock rom from mk809.com

I also found that "DC microUSB" has bad connection and if you touch the cable in it - power may be lost. to monitor it I drilled a small hole on the body to see the blue led indicating the power is on.

Now it is back to normal, I glued DC cable in a position it is powered and it can't be moved. In this condition it is now working. The second finding was the WIFi performance. I have a quick connection, and the signal is good. But the stick is very slow in web surfing or searching in play market.

I would say I'm a bit disappointed and will need to go for alternative roms till I find the one performing really well (fast wifi, stable OS)

Other damn stuff is that physical keyboard arrows do not move the cursor in the text box, but move the cursor on the screen keyboard. THis is annoying.

Maybe I'm new to this, but I really expected something more user friendly
