i moded k-r42 firmware to be used on diffrent devices.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] zmaki:
Does your hybrid firmware has CIFS ?

In another words, does program "CIFS Manager"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ws.plattner.cifsmanager

works on your hybrid firmware ?

CIFS is essential for using network shared folders as local folders.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lewy20041:
yes, cifs module is in the kernel.

it suports cifs manager, and automount scripts.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] zmaki:
Thanks for info, and congratulations on working CIFS !

Please check PM.

Welome to xda lewy! I've followed your work in freaktab, I'm just waiting to fix my Pc so I can flash your ROM on my mk808b, if you have a Cwm version of it I'll do ot ASAP..

I was wondering if your ROM have isofs and udf CD/dvd support, I need to plug my LG external writer to watch all my burned mkvs... Any chance to compile those drivers? In freaktab I tried some modules that Leolas gave me, but couldn't make them work...

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] thek1ng:
Hi, I just received my k-r42 with the 4.2.2 stock rom pre-installed. I realised the ethernet port is not working. Have you guys got yours working? I am not sure if it is a hardware or firmware issue. But if it is a firmware issue, will flashing this rom help? Thanks in advance.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lewy20041:
we are working on it;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lewy20041:

i will try to help you
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] thek1ng:
Hi Lewy,

Thanks. I have tried on different switches and cables and concluded that it is indeed the k-r42's ethernet port that is causing the problem. I have not tried your firmware though. Will give it a shot and report back.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] samwuff:
Lewy, I have a Logitech C270 webcam that when I connect to the k-42 it seems to be working (/dev/video0 gets created, etc), but no camera app/hangouts/etc can use it (they force close after several seconds trying). I suspect that it's because the K-r42 doesn't supply enough power to turn on the camera CCD, but enough to turn on the chip? I don't have a powered USB hub right now (I'm having one shipped) so I can't test this theory.

When you were testing your camera, did you hook it to an external powered hub?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lewy20041:
no. webcam should work without external usb hub.

are you using my 1.2.0 firmware?

be sure to conect webcam to usb host, dont use otg.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] samwuff:
Right, I tried hooking it to the back USB port and side USB port (thinking maybe one supplies more power) and I had the same issue.

One thing I did do is that I was running 1.1.2 and wanted to upgrade without losing my data. To do that I extracted your ROM and flashed boot, kernel, system, and recovery (I don't think I needed to flash boot/recovery, but I did just in case) and formatted/uploaded a clean ext4 cache image.

Are you always recommending a wipe between releases? Usually most ROMs (I'm coming from the phone world) don't wipe data by default, so I found it interesting that this does.

I think that my dirty flash _might_ have something to do with it, so I'm backing up with Titanium and doing a full reflash to see if that makes it happier. I'll get back to you with a logcat if I continue to have issues.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] samwuff:
Derpy derp, the dirty flash must have caused it. It's working perfectly now (just tested a video hangout). Lewy, thank you very much for your hard work, it's appreciated!

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lostsoul:
Hello, tnx for all the hard work.

I installed latest rom on my k-r42 and now the remote is al weird. It does not respond to most buttons, like the all important 'ok' button.

Also, 1080p is not smooth for me at all.

And the 3rd problem I have is getting digital audio to work. If I select digital output in Xbmc setting I get a loud hissing sound. Analog works fine.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] dr@bunsen:
S/PDIF

Does S/PDIF pass through of multi channel digital audio (Dolby Digital/DTS) work with your ROMs? It certainly doesn't with the stock ROM and this is as important as 1080P to me. I only received my Android box yesterday so still experimenting with settings, however if S/PDIF pass through works OK then I'm tempted to flash your stable 1080P ROM.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Antyrael:
First of all, thanks for all the effort you put in this!

Second, I have a question about the ethernet MAC address.

It keeps changing with every boot, is there a way to fix it permanently?

Edit: I flashed 1.2.2 twice now, both seem to go well, but when I'm at the first Android screen and click on any remote button, it just powers off.

I can't click on any icon or even the very first Ok, so going back to 1.2.0 FINAL 1080P for now.

Hi lewy! Thanks for your great work!

I'm confused... On the first post you say that 1.2.2 firmware is out, but under the link is just 1.2.1 Beta 720p (checked

Aug 28 15:08 EST).

Where then can I find new firmware?

Thanks!

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lewy20041:
as of yet on 1.2.2 there is no av support.

if you want av just flash 1.2.0 final.

What are the results on mk908 with this firmware? I expect my order to come next week, so my question is, if this works on the newer batches of mk908 or if it bootloops, and if it runs, is it developing a lot of heat, does it play 1080p well or does it have issues?

I did not know other models (I thought they were all the same) and bought the cs918. I thought the remote sucks!

Anyway, what would be the best firmware for me to change the cs918? The 1080p version 1.2.2?

And if I do not like this firmware, how do I get back to the original? Is there a way to backup or download it on some website?

And what about RKRemoteControl, the application works with these alternative firmwares?

AV output

Hi again, grats and thanks for the work done here. Im running the 1.2 Final version in my CS918 with absolutely no problems (some xbmc freezes, but it's probably due to the app, not the HFW).

I have seen this new 2.0.2 version and I'd love to test it, but I guess its only with HDMI output. Are you planning to implement AV in any newer version? Thanks a lot!

Thankyou for all the handwork that has gone into to creating this firmware.

I've just installed v2.0.3 on an CS918, had a very hard time getting it to be recognised in windows (Usually use a VMware image on an mac which didn't work, does for shield with naked driver), finally found an old XP laptop and managed to install it following previous comments on how to plug it in.

Comments so far (Compared to old rom)

* Fantastic having the Auto Hide in Display setting (XBMC now uses full screen)

* Great to see the USB NTFS hard drive works as it did in old rom

Questions/Comments

* With the controller support, is it possible to make it like the Nvidia shield by default (i.e. DPAD moves items, right analog stick is the mouse) ?, A for open

* When you press power off, I assume that defaults to sleep, the old rom had a "red" glow to indicate this, just checking this is the case

* Tried changing Audio output in XBMC to HDMI on an MKV file which doesn't work (not sure if this is XBMC nightly build prob)

Issues

* The Mac Address for ethernet is different every reboot (makes droidserver a pain to configure)

* /sdcard disappeared after using it for awhile and sometimes isn't mounted on a reboot

* The ethernet adapter doesn't seem to be recognised in many apps (Google play, Blitz, respawanable) all ask for the wifi to be turned on to continue. The ethernet adapter is working though, strange

* The controller support (Xbox wireless dongle, Xbox) doesn't work all the time, using X to open apps stops working after going back to home screen

* Auto hide system bar doesn't work on home screen and the minimise icon doesn't minimise

Edit:

* Further information after playing for awhile

Thanks again for your efforts, Not sure if some of the things mentioned are Android bugs or rom bugs.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] FadeFx:
Thats easy, Thema MK908II hast an external wifi antenna. What you probably mean is the difference between mk908v1 and mk908v3 which are essentially the same sticks but different hardware revisions and can only be differentiated by opening the case and reading the board printing.
