Just ordered mine. Hoping I don't regret it.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lanc3lot:
I am waiting mine as well, there are some reports that native player of XBMC doesn't operate well with RK3188 chipset, and you have to put an external player app to be able to run them. Its strange that there are no valid reviews for it till now, 1st time i have ordered something without a review, hope i wont regret it !
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Jamolah:
Same here. I just saw the specs and I've been eyeing an android stick for a while (the MK809) but because of overheating concerns and spotty wifi issues I decided to get the CS968.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Jamolah:
Does this unit come rooted? If not anybody know to root it? Because I want to install droidmote which requires root
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Nasif22:
I want to buy this too!

Hey [Jamolah] and [lanc3lot] I'm waiting on your reviews on this thing before I buy one. Good luck with them and I will be waiting on an update. Thanks guys.

Hallo all.

I'm waiting too on your reviews on this thing before I buy two. Good luck with them and I will be waiting on an update. Thanks guys.

I ordered it too from dealsprime.com when it arrives I' ll post a video review on youtube
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] RASTAVIPER:
I am interested at this also in order to replace my old Home theater pc.

Does anyone knows if it's supporting the following?

1) is there some rooting guide?

2) can it play 1080p movies normally from external hard drive?

3) does it support 5:1 Dts audio surround when connected with optical? Is this plug the standard coaxial plug?

4) can I connect a wireless Logitech mouse +keyboard? Will they work normally?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] gjs999:
Looking at this unit myself -- conflicting info on rooting -- some people say its already rooted , I asked a vendor and they told me it was but other people contacted Merimobile and were told it couldn't be rooted .

Also found this on another forum which might help your questions

"The stock rom is pretty robust (with 720p kernel), it has usb audio option so the digital and passthrough works OOB, however the spdif passthrough doesn't work for XBMC, [updated 09-10-2013, with a patched libmedia.so and modded XBMC it can now passthrough perfectly. ] but it works for stock video players as well as mxplay, bsplayer."

However I believe new firmware is being shipped 17-10-2013 so things might have changed -- lets hope someone with the latest firmware can give us a quality review
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] schyzo001:
HI all,

I'm very interested by this CS968 but I have a few questions :

- As it's android 4.2, does it manage multiusers ? This could be useful wit family use...

- Anyone tried Skype ? I'm choosing this model for the integrated webcam so...I hope it's working !

- is it possible to "mirror" screens from other android devices ? Like Nexus 7 or GS3 ? I'd like to be able to display my phone screen on the TV...

- is the device already rooted or is there a way to root it ?

If someone have the answers...

Thanks !

So, does anyone know if the Android 4.2 system on this kind of device allows the multi-profiles ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Jamolah:
So I finally received this device.

First impression, the plug and HDMI are not of the best quality. The first time I plugged it in I didn't get any signal to the TV I had to jiggle the cables for it to get a signal.

Once I got it working, it took some getting use to, to use the rockchip remote app on my phone to control things.

It's pretty quick. Videos play well, but I find the quality of certain videos from Netflix are not the greatest quality.

HD youtube videos look good and are very sharp.

The biggest disappoint is the camera that comes built-in. It is horrendous, it's not even worth mentioning. Ur better off getting a 3rd party camera.

I haven't been able to find a multi-profile option anywhere.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] schyzo001:
Hi,

I just ordered mine, but I chose the Cloudnet Go CR11/S instead of this CS968. Seems to be a clone, but then, I saw these 2 reviews :

here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhZGX6rZy8M

and here : http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7594-CloudnetGo-CR11S

They said it's native 1080p and also developping a new firmware (here :http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7423-cs968-stock-firmware/page2).

No I have to wait to receive it...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Jamolah:
I don't have a surround sound system so I can't test that.

1. I tried to detach the antenna but it didn't want to budge and I didn't way to force it to much in fear of breaking it

3.i have mine connected to ethernet cable for now, I'll test wifi once I have everything setup

4. I honestly think it can only do 720p, but I'm still playing around. How should I test if it can play 1080P? I tried to play a TV show from xmbc at 720p and it was very choppy

5.no I did not, I don't have one

6. 4 normal USB, no micro USB. I don't have an external harddrive

7.ill try this

8. I haven't found so far, maybe at freak tab?

This seems identical to the cloudgo unit
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] RASTAVIPER:
You can test 1080p in 2 ways.

First from YouTube and second download a mkv in 1080p and try it from Mxplayer if Xbmc gets laggy.

I am also interested in this box. Could anyone who has it test:

- does it have enough USB power to run typical 2.5" portable hard drives without an external powered USB hub?

- does it properly play high bitrate 1080p vids (40+mbps), like the "Birds" file on this page: http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ via either XBMC or MX Payer?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rayill:
Merimobiles sells it for 89,99. I ordered it 2 days ago and it got shipped today.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Jamolah:
Yes the button completely turns off the device.

I got from there. Watch out about shipping with them

The birds video did not work. It loaded, it would play a bit then stop.

I have very slow Internet speed is supposed to be 7Mbps but I can only manage 2Mbps . is that possible the reason the 1080p video is choppy?

Youtube videos are good

This is the summary I got from Xbmc. It's shows 1260x672 what does that mean CS968 doesn't support 1080p?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rayill:
Why , whats wrong with their shipping?

I paid extra to let them ship my items through Singapore Post , after they recommended this to me due to the current delays with chinapost and hongkongpost
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] RASTAVIPER:
The 1080p videos have 1920x1080 resolution.

Did you try to play some mkv files with such resolution?

Singapore post is fine, but other sites don't charge for this.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] vlevi:
1280*672 is the display resolution. I fact, is is 720p (1280*720), but the statusbar is 48 pixels tall, this is because xbmc (and others) say the verical resolution 672 pixels. Other video players, for example youtube app, mx player, etc are able to switch to fullscreen while playing videos, with hw acceleration. Sadly, I must say, those players are far better than xbmc, because xbmc does no have hw accel., and fullscreen mode :(

Not only the cs968 has this problem, but nearly everything, which uses android. Phones, tablets, sticks, etc.

nice review,

if u hv a 3g dongle, can u try plugging to one of the USB and check ?

did u update the rom ? or the stock rom ?

the videos u played were from HDD attached to the tv box, or over wifi ?

what is the air mouse ur using ?

which of the USB ports(4 ports) is OTG enabled ?

I unfortunately don't have a 3g dongle to try

It's the stock rom

goy my cs968 box

ok, received my box yesterday.

1. the build number is rk31sdk-eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 eng.dl.20131106.114900. B4 i start messing around with my box, i would like to make a image dump, how do i do that ?.

2. Dont know this has CWM recovery, installed drivers and when i connected the USB cable + reset button pressed, batch tools said its connceted, can i use this cwm image frm here http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?6805-cwm-recovery-for-rk3188 ?? want to use the terminal method, shd this wkr for my above buid ???

3. it came with xmbc installed 13.0-alpha6, but when i tried to play 1080 files, it got closed, guess it doens not support 1080p files.

I guess this file ( playercorefactory.xml file and copy it to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata on your device ) is for xmbc, i tried this and still xmbc closed after trying to play 1080p file.

4. i d/l a sapearte xmb file spmc-armeabi-v7a_12.3.3.apk, installed this, and i was able to play 1080p video. I hv insatlled mxplayer too, but how do i make spmc to use mx player ?. or how do i know what player is used by spmc ? to play files ? Since i am using spmc, and can play 1080p files, so i dont need point 3 xmbc. in both xmbc and spmc, sysinfo shows it as 720p @60fps as screen res. but i hv set my screen res as 1080p in the android-settings-screen

5. In the setting->screens, by default it was 720p, i changed it to 1080p, but i didnot see any change in icon size, it shd be smaller in 1080 rt ??? does this not o/p 1080p res ?

6. i tried connecting wd 2.5" hdd passport to OTG port, the drive was making only click noise, led on the drive was on though. Then i attached to next to OTG port, the drive recognized and was able to see the hdd content, does this means that i shd not connect any HDD to OTG port, use it only for flashing purpose ??? tried diff USB cable on OTG port, didnot wrk.

7. IR remote is real PIA, want some airmouse, which one would u recommend ? see my previous post. felt rc11 is good, is there a similar remote with IR learning function too ?

8. saw some videos on utube with good live wallpapers, which didnot come preinsatlled in my box, where do i d/l those ?? :)

9. ir remote has power button, with single press, it just disables the hdmi o/p and the led turn red on the box. tried long press, nothing happened, i guess cant shutdown the box frm remote.

edit: long press did shutdown, but after sometime i see the system was back on, didnot press any keys to book back. do u guys see the same ?

Thanks to everybody for your comments/reviews.

Purchased one of these as a Christmas present for my parents, basically it will be used to Skype video call with my sister who lives in the USA.

Purchased from here on the 4th of December. I opted for the 10 day TNT delivery and it arrived today.

Worked straight out of the box. Even came with an adaptor to convert the power supply to fit a UK wall socket.

Signing into my google account was quite easy (if a bit slow) using the contoller but all the buttons work ok and it feels fairly good.

Installed Skype and signed in with no problems. Phone calls work everytime but had to try a small number of times before getting the video chat to work properly. On starting a video call it will either;

Force close the app,

or Start with video from the person I was calling but no camera operation from the Android box,

or Work properly (once) but with a red tint from the Android box camera. (The picture from the person I was calling was ok),

or Work Properly.

The box has rebooted itself once aswell.

These trials where with the in app video quality set to low.

The picture and sound quality was better than we get when using a laptop and webcam (or Samsung tablet) to Skype my sister, although the video call I was making was to somebody in the same region as me.

I have ordered a wireless keyboard from here but it hasn't arrived yet. Hope it works aswell as I am expecting it to.

I can't wait to give it to my Dad to set-up and use a Christmas to chat with my sis.

Wish I had a HD tv, I would have ordered one for myself too.
