Here are my arguments for why the MK808B with best stick and I'll throw in some cons. I'm comparing this to the best single core tv stick the Uhost U1A. If you read any MK802 forums, you'll read that the most stable ROM is the Uhost U1A factory one.

1. 1608Mhz Dual-core

2. 1Gb fast RAM

3. 8Gb ROM

4. microSD

5. OTG with cable

6. Full USB

7. dual power up mini USB ports (OTG also powers up stick)

8. stable of TV USB power, my Uhost crashed on TV power.

9. strong wifi (2nd floor 30+ feet away)

10. Bluetooth for only $5 over the MK808 should free up USB port

Here I posted some good ideas on what you can use bluetooth for, but I'm looking for some other ideas. I have BT keyboard, mouse, headphones and headset (mic). I like the idea of rigging BT headset and using app like Robin, Iris, or utter to control the MK808B.

XBMC has a few beta versions that work pretty good, but Netflix, and Youtube run fine thanks to the TRUE 1608Mhz dual core CPU. Most early model dual cores were limited to 1 to 1.2 Ghz. I use ES File Explorer and MX Player to play videos from my shared network drives. I used Plex on my Uhost U1A so I'm sure MK808B won't have any problems running 720p. My wireless network isn't optimized for 1080 my biggest TV is 52" and that's where 1080 starts to differentiate from 720 visually.

I've flashed my MK808B 5 times and I'm pretty confident it's easy to recover from a bad flash. Well I had a "no boot" flash and just flashed a different ROM without a hitch. I actually used 2 different Flashing RKTools and both methods to get into Flash Mode. Easy stuff, give them all a try.

What I don't like: CONS

1. mini HDMI, I would have preferred micro like most cellphones use.

2. hiding toolbar causes problems, youtube, home screen, just better to leave it open and wait for better autohide option.

3. no overclocking, I enjoy tweaking for performance.

4. 1080 not implemented from factory

5. MK808 got 4.2.2 before MK808B

So my top 3 are Bluetooth, stable system, fast dualcore all under $50.

I posted lots of benchmarks on my blog including my modified Finless 1.7 install guide

tabletuser.blogspot.com

Please reply with what stick, around $50, matches or betters the MK808B and why.

I have a Mk808 and I agree. Wish I waited for other B model but it does what I need for now.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] cesar33:
I read that CyanogenMod 10 has support for bluetooth dongles, but I can't a reliable thread showing it works for the MK808. What ROM do you favor for you 808?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] mordbane:
I currently have the MK808 also. Only reason I stayed away from the MK808B is because development isn't as strong as for the MK808. But, I'm looking to purchase another stick (I've got another dumb TV that I need to smarten up). I use my MK808 in my workout room now and would love to be able to listen to movies, podcasts, music with my Jaybirds. Right now I have to blast the TV to hear it over the treadmill. There is a quad core stick coming out next month that I'm going to see how good it performs out the box, but it is $100 vs. $50.

The Finless ROMs are the best out there for the MK808s. I think the latest beta has some support for MK808B.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] cesar33:
MK808B firmware 4.1.1 by Finless vs 4.2.2 benchmarked

Posted benchmark comparison of 4.1.1 vs 4.2.2 on my blog

http://tabletuser.blogspot.com/ LINK

4.2.2 is up to 40% slower on all benchmarks, but it should include updated features. I'm sticking with Finless 1.7 on my MK808B, but will try custom ROMs for 4.2.2 since flashing firmware is so easy.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wellersl:
I know this is a late response, but I have a question...

Is UHost still the front-runner?

On Amazon, there are offerings from Cozyswan,Tronsmart, and "MK808B" (my favorite).
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Eray Ozen:
I see many ads on website, is ths true that MK908 is the updated MK808?

I see the specification on the web, it is with rk3188 quad core cup, 2gb ram, 8gb rom, seems has been upgrade to android 4.2.2 OS.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] ragesoss:
I have a question about power over OTG on the the 808/b. What happens if you plug in both to power sources? I have read the sticks can be unstable if they use a power supply that can't handle the peak loads, and that high quality 2a chargers are preferred. Would it make a difference to use both ports for power from more common chargers?

I have not had any problems using a 1a charger (I threw away the terrible quality "2a" one it came with), but I haven't really pushed my stick either.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] gtd2000:
I'm reading with interest that you can use the headset/mic with BT connections.

So far I'm only able to listen to audio through the headphones but cannot select sound input via the mic for some reason.

Can you explain how you managed to do this - I bought an MK808B specifically to use a Bluetooth headset with Mic and it appears that it's a complete an utter waste of time for that purpose?

I've tried Utter Beta and it's utter crap for me so far - I just get looping audio commands from the female voice. Regulat utter seems to do nothing at all so far..

Many of your other suggestions are not compatible with the MK808B for some reason too..?

Help! :crying:

Impressive on wireless charging of Lumia 920 and hope my new mate GS4 could also support the advanced features, and it's better if there are some wireless charger for GS4 as well...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Dannyada1988:
Samsung Galaxy S4 will support wireless charging. And a the wireless charger will cost $59.99. The charger is said to hit stores in April.

Will the wireless charging enabled battery cover (which will be required alongside the charging pad) add much (if any?) thickness to the phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kidovzky:
Some days ago i flashed AOKP 4.2.2 and seen rotation bugs. I tried to find rotation fix. Founded! But it isn't helped me. Then i tried to flash other rom (jj6, jmtx4...) and rotation bug stilll stayed. Then i flashed really stock 4.0.4 from ODIN... and... screen rotate was very strange.

What bug?

When AutoRotate is OFF - all ok!

when AutoRotate is ON: rotate 90 - ok. rotate 270 - ok. return to 0 dgr - screen won't to return.

then i turn AutoRotate to OFF - screen returning to 0 degrees.

It is soo strange and scary! Maybe harware issue? Maybe soft bugs? What is that? How i can fix that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Leontx:
try fix permissions with root manager app(free).Devs of my rom says almost 95% of problem can be fix that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kidovzky:

Much easier...

just simply calibrate the gyroscope!

but i was right. it was partially hardware issue

Re: [ROM][GSM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps

Keep us posted on the working Verizon version?
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
I'm going to need input from others on that. I have literally no way to test on Verizon.

I'm going to see if I can dig out olegfusion's back to CDMA patch and study it tomorrow. It's hard for me to tell which of the huge amounts of VZW crap I deleted are actually needed for the phone to work.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Re: [ROM][GSM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps

Understood. No rush. I'll be happy to test for you. Looks like I'll be going back to cm10 til then. I really really hate blur on this phone. Idk y I thought it would change in jb but I guess not. Thanks for all your time and effort!
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Ok this should work. Copy the contents of this zip to /system/app and /system/framework, then in safestrap do fix permissions

http://www.lum.co.uk/CDMA_Patch_V1.1.zip

If it works, let me know and I'll update the OP
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:

That for Verizon? I'll test it after I get access to my work computer to root... thanx again

Yes that should work for Verizon, I hope!

Also for GSM people I've updated the patch file in the OP

http://www.lum.co.uk/Lum_JB_debloat_V1.1_patches.zip

The only change is I have added a working apns-conf.xml that you need to copy into /system/etc

I'll re-upload the ROM later today unless I find any more faults.

[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Re: [ROM][GSM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps

Were u able to replaced the blur stock launcher?
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
It's still using the stock launcher, but it's easy enough to install Nova or Apex and set it as default. Just install your preferred launcher from the marketplace.

The reason for keeping the stock launcher is because people who use webtop are best off sticking with the stock one as it's the only one to properly handle the resolution chances.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
just to offer some insight, Go Launcher EX works fine in webtop. I use that as my daily launcher and it switches over perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
I'll have a play with it, but I figure that putting in any given launcher, somebody is always going to want a different one so figured I may as well leave it stock since they're so easy for the user to replace anyway.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
I'm currently uploading V1.2, now as a flashable ZIP, so those of you who haven't downloaded V1.0 may want to hold off. It'll take me an hour to upload this.

[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
no worries, was just sharing that webtop worked with Go Launcher. It is to each their own on launchers, as you said, everyone has their own favorite. great work on the ROM. I am definitely going to download once I upgrade and CDMA is all set :)

[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
There's a link in the OP with the addon to make CDMA work.

I haven't made a flashable version of the addon yet. Can't get the damn update.zip to work.

Kind of ironic really, don't have any problem packaging the main ROM, but a simple update has defeated me. :(

For now you just have to copy over the files by hand following the instructions in the OP. Sorry about that.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Re: [ROM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps [V1.2]

No worries. Still awesome work. Testing soon

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

First thing I notice. No phone or contact apps. :(
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
That's weird. I flashed to a brand new rom slot on my phone and they're definitely there.

Do they show up in the drawer? Are you using V1.2? (1.0 did have an issue with the phone app)

Do /system/app/Phone.apk and /system/app/Contacts.apk exist?

I'm going to wipe and redo the romslot for my test system and report back.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Re: [ROM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps [V1.2]

1.2 no where to be seen. Not in app drawer or on app drawer bar. All that was on the bar was the icon to open drawer.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Ok this is weird, they're in my working copy of the ROM, but after running the script to compile it to a zip file they have disappeared from the zip.

My test system must have kept them when I flashed.

I have no idea how that happened, and feel quite stupid now, but here are the two missing files to save you re-downloading 300mb. I'll update the OP shortly, and then check that nothing else has disappeared.

http://www.lum.co.uk/PhoneContacts_V1.2.zip

Once again, copy these into /system/app then do a fix permissions in safestrap!
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Re: [ROM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps [V1.2]

Will report back in a few
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Well I ran the process again, only change is I found a couple more pointless apks to remove, and this time phone+contacts are definitely in there, even though I didn't change the process used to create them... weird!

Going to flash it to a brand new rom slot and make sure there's no other stupidity going on and then I guess the next version is coming out sooner than expected!

Edit: Well I've reproduced the bug, but no idea what's causing it. Even though they're in the zip they're not getting copied over.

Going to have to look at this in the morning I think.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Re: [ROM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps [V1.2]

Even wierder! They are in my /system/app folder! But nowhere to be seen otherwise! Lol wiiiierd
[Motorola Droid 4] bluri:
Same here! Otherwise feels really fast and it's nice to get rid of all the Vz ****.

Keep up the good job Lum_UK, I'm convinced you will solve the problem :)

Just got to love safestrap to always have working stock on reserve. :D
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Did you do a fix permissions from within safestrap, then wipe cache/dalvik?

I'll look into it some more a bit later if work leave me alone for 5 minutes. Only just woke up!
[Motorola Droid 4] bluri:
I'll answer that I did all as you said, even checked that Phone.apk and Contacts.apk are in /system/app/ and now I've fixed permissions and wiped cache/dalvik couple times and still no Phone or Contacts.

edit: they're there

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16381707/phoneapk.png

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16381707/contactsapk.png
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
It's amazing what a night's sleep can do to help, got flashable zips to work, and solved the contacts problem, kind of. I've had to go back to the blur contacts app for now. Sorry about that but it's better than a non-functional ROM

V1.2.1 patch to fix phone and contacts issue

Flashable CDMA patch

I am so sorry for wasting your time with the wiping and so on.
[Motorola Droid 4] bluri:
Hey don't be sorry for our time, you have used much more than we!

So just flash that zip over the v.1.2 via safestrap?

EDIT: just flashed that package from safestrap over V1.2 and didn't fix it, Now I will do full wipe :)

EDIT2: Full rom-slot removal and install again 1.2 and 1.2.1 patch same time, IT WORKS!
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Yes, just flash it like any other update for a ROM.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Has anyone tested this on CDMA yet?

I know when I flask the CDMA patch onto my own phone I get the "This SIM is from an unknown source" message that the stock ROM gives, so something is working. I can't really afford a trip to the USA to do my own testing though!
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Thanks for you hard work. Just flashed this along with the CDMA patch. Booted just fine but could not get a data connection. Tried switching to CDMA/LTE from Global but same story.

Steps I took:

1. Created new ROM Slot

2. Wiped everything

3. flashed v1.2 zip, then 1.2.1 patch, then the CDMA patch

4. wiped cache and dalvik cache

5. rebooted.

Did I miss something?
[Motorola Droid 4] orangechoochoo:
Myfishbear's JB Eclipse rom is having some data issues too, maybe something on the deodexed rom that is used for the base for Eclipse and this rom has a problem? Deodexing and zip aligning really shouldn't cause a problem, but the deodexed base is common to both roms which are both having the same data problems.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
That was the correct order. Given the comments above I think it may be best to wait and see if anything is discovered with MyFishBear's ROM.

For now I'll just remove mention of CDMA from the OP so that others don't waste their time.

Did CDMA activation and voice calls work?

I can confirm that data is working well on GSM, however.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Re: [ROM] Lum's debloated, deblurred stock JB ROM with inverted GApps [V1.2.1]

It seemed to activate just fine. No errors or anything. Never prompted me for my Google login though which I thought was odd. I didn't even think to try a voice call. I'm back on stock now but I still have it on Slot 2. I'll give it try when I have chance.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
It prompts for Google login the first time you try to use the marketplace or some other GApp. Don't worry about it.

As soon as I find out what's going on with CDMA data I'll update.

Has anyone tried CDMA data on MyFishBear's deodexed stock ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] orangechoochoo:
I've been going through the deodexed rom threads on here and Droidforums and no one mentioned a problem with data, so maybe something necessary was deleted when you guys debloated the deodexed rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Edit: Ignore this post and see below instead.

Ok I've identified 4 possible culprit files, if you could maybe try putting them in one at a time until it works.

I would start with MotoVzwAtCmdPlugin.apk. You'll want to reboot and fix permissions after trying each file.

Sorry for the faff, but hopefully we can get this sorted and then I can make an updated CDMA patch.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Ignore my above post. I've found the problem. It's nothing to do with missing APKs

Flash this patch. It's fine to flash on top of the old one. Should sort it

http://www.lum.co.uk/Stock_JB_Maserati_Lum_V1.2.1_CDMA_patch-signed.zip

Credit goes to MyFishBear. He fixed the data issue on his ROM, I just ran zipdiff on the two versions to see what he changed. It was the apns-conf.xml file

I'll try to make a universal one for V1.3
[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
I re-flashed with your new patch and data still isn't coming up for me.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Same here.

Wiped cache and dalvik cache.

Installed new patch.

Fixed permissions.

Rebooted.

Still no data.

One interesting thing to note. I went in to the settings and brought up "Network type and strength" and it did show a 4G connection. But no 4G signal icon and I could not get the web browser to connect.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Argh. This is getting frustrating now, since I can't test this myself

http://www.lum.co.uk/lteonfoff.apk

Is the only other thing from EclipseICS that I can think of that would be useful.

Failing that I guess I'm going to have to give up and make this a GSM-only ROM, sorry :(
