Mine didn't take too long to come. About 2 weeks I think. It's a decent enough device right out the box, Kodi is fully loaded with goodies and Show Box works well, but I think with all the potential it has, it would be a waste not to at least explore some sort of Lollipop ROM. We all know that the manufacturer is unlikely to put out another ROM anyway. They tend to get a single ROM bug free then quit while they're ahead.

Interestingly, my USB Mouse now doesn't soft brick the device. Clearly something is up with the stock firmware and that mouse. Anyway, I'm going to spend today investing the WiFi and how to get it working.

:o
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] rhtizzy:
Good luck! :)
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Building a new image, hopefully the Wifi and bluetooth should work with this image. That's half the fun of course. One of the biggest issues I'm having is it appears to be impossible to flash a singlee partition image to this device, otherwise you soft brick it. Pain in the arse.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Some more work today, let's see if I can get this WiFi working.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Here we go, first boot of the new Lollipop build built by me with the correct connectivity chipsets etc. Will WiFi be working, or will it be broken still :P ?

Edit:

In fact, will it even boot :D

Yep, it boots. WiFi now causes reboot lol :D

2nd Edit:

Pretty obvious looking at logcat why it's not working.... Android still thinks it's using the Firefly AP6212 Wi-Fi. Need to work out why that is.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Still working on the WiFi, might not be as easy as I first thought to get this WiFi fixed. No SDK whatsoever for it, so I'm using an SDK for a similar chipset that is publicly available. I have a .ko file which should work but it won't insmod for some reason.

The funs of building from other peoples code. The .mk files are a complete mess. Still, looks like I'm slowly getting there.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] rhtizzy:
Sounds like a challenge, good luck!
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Finally got it to build using this RealTek SDK from t'interweb. Did require some changes though and I had to find a few libraries that seemingly aren't really used anymore, plus a few hacks thrown in there to make those libs work, so I really don't know what's going to happen here. Currently on the Android boot screen. It might boot, it might crash, it might boot-loop, I really don't know.

At an educated guess, I Imagine it'll boot but I fully expect it to fail when switching on WiFi.

Edit: Boots OK. Few BT force closes, might have to freeze BT for the moment. WiFi still dead. Let's try get some logs shall we :D
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Quick update, feel as though I've hit a bit of a brick wall with this WiFi implementation. Can't get it it to insmod the modules from 4.4 (no surprise) but don't have the source to build newer 5.1.1 modules. The source I do have doesn't seem to work, so either I am missing something or there's a configuration issue. I will continue over the next few days but can see this being a real ballache. I may investigate whether we can use a USB wifi, at least temporarily while I work out a way in which we can use the inbuilt Wi-Fi. With so few people owning this hardware, that also makes it difficult as it's a one man project :P :P

On a side note though, I have been able to get it to run Ubuntu lol! It's a trimmed down version but it runs surprisingly nicely. Audio is broken, so is WiFi but USB Ethernet works well and was browsing and even installed Kodi onto it.

Who'da thunk it ?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] horizophon:
Received mine today! Took me three minutes to brick it. :good: Couldn't stop myself from trying ART. Now i can't make the drivers work with W10. In fact it doesn't even show up as an unknown device... :silly: Will try with Ubuntu in the morning.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
It won't be hard bricked.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] CoolSong:
And where ?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] komw:
[MENTION=627785]skezza[/MENTION] Do you have any update? I have this TV stick, but it has a fake 1080p (upscalled from 720p). Do you have another kernel for this tv stick or maybe a kernel sources ? (I have found about 4 firmwares for this stick, but all of the has a fake 1080p)
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] J Johnoo:
Anyone notice video playback in Kodi stutters badly. (Mkv and Mp4 ..especially 1080p)

Sometimes after few mins, but shows up immediately if, along the time line bar, jump back and fort, once or twice.

Easily seen at movie end credits.

Tried few different firmwares all have same issue.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] J Johnoo:
To add to my previous post, my Rk3128 board looks this.

http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/12...ith-512mb-ram-8gb-storage-sell-for-15-and-up/

FirePrime Lollipop works fine, but no WiFi.

Surprisingly snappy for a 512MB DDR board.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] komw:
Do you have real 1080p?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] J Johnoo:
No, its 720p.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] xjammetx:
I have this chipset too, tho mine is marked as "MK809IV"

rk3128 + 8723bs wifi/bt, 1G ram + 8gb rom

will your build work on mine?

Looking forward for the ubuntu build too!
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Ubuntu so far imo works better than Android. Although WiFi is equally broken, a USB Ethernet adapter works great and it actually works quite well as a standalone desktop.

They're all fake 1080p, upscaled from 720p. It's a Rockchip thing unfortunately :(

It's a heat issue. If you haven't taken it apart yet, do so, the CPU and GPU get red hot, to the point that you cannot touch it. Eventually I'll start hardware hacking mine adding some heat sinks etc.

Regarding the WiFi, I've had to postpone work as I'm doing some driver dev at work and can't really do anymore on it, but i've kept all the work where I was up to. The problem i'm having is there's no drivers for Lollipop it seems :(
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] J Johnoo:
First thing tested, put a temp sensor on the CPU, only goes to 44C Max, about 38c while watching film, Seems very reasonable.

No Stutter in lollipop , only in kitkat.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] alfcode:
Thanks for your support, showed me message "Boot failed" but with the rom was solved, thanks again.

It is correct to say that the heat is very high, the paracer very hot chip 3128, is better 3188

greetings from Peru.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] xjammetx:
can you teach me how to flash roms into this?

I'm new to these chinese sticks, I was using android phones and wanna try this.

Can we have like cwm/twrp on this?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Maybe in Lollipop, but you run Kodi on KitKat and watch the heat rise rapidly to the point the device is too unstable the run. The Lollipop builds from FireFly have some thermal drivers which are helping with the cooling.

Still no luck with the WiFi thus far. As I said, it's currently postponed until I can continue working on it. The FirePrime source isn't great though tbh. Lots of little bugs in the makefiles, but even so, it's just not loading the driver for the WiFi thus far. However, they've also released a new version, so perhaps there's hope.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
No real need right now, but it might be useful yeah

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] DannySolo:
I see these "MK809V_4K" RK3229/1Gb/8Gb are on Ali now shipping with Android 5.1. Well, they say they are anyway, but who knows.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
I decided to pause dev seeing as the WiFi chip was unsupported. Turns out a load of devs have knocked up some WiFi drivers, so i might get back on with this ;) I think it has a useful part to play, although I'm not sure where.

I like the idea of it being an Ubuntu stick which could make it a Universal print server, but then is it wasted?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] MaxiM_PL:
No bluetooth?

Hello, how did you get Bluetooth to work? I've got the same exact stick (theoretically), but there's no sign of Bluetooth functionality. Mine is running Lollipop.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
I've compiled all the code, but I've been unable to get WiFi to work. I might try and throw some outside source in there, see if we can get it going.

[MENTION=627785]skezza[/MENTION] any news?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] skezza:
Hi,

I somewhat gave up on this a while back. I got WiFi working but it was hellishly unstable. I think with a bit of debugging it wouldn't be overly complicated though. Maybe i need to get it up onto a repo.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtuser:
Hi,

I'm looking to buy a new phone and since mainly need it for searching for information in large pdf files, want to see if it's Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3580 (2.3GHz) will perform better than Galaxy s6 or Nexus 5x.

I tried Galaxy s6 along my current S3 and while galaxy S6 is faster, is still slower than my tablet running windows 10 on Intel z3735d CPU with 1 GB RAM.

And I was thinking ZenFone 2 which has newer CPU than the tablet and 4GB Ram can do better job compared to devices with Snapdragon CPU's.

Do you have any thoughts for my case?

Thanks.

Hi everyone! :)

I want to share for you new ftf with newest stock firmware for Xperia Z. It's Customized DE.

ROM is rootable, Xposed is working, Zombie kernel too!

(Advanced Stock Kernel from .222 is working too)

Download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!isUERBwA!Sh-zuG62QLVbD9mb5bcz6fxJJoEtLfFrGvD_8FZRZbw
[Xperia Z Android Development] edi194:
Today i've created and uploaded deodex patch for this rom.

This is flashable from recovery, but if you'd get bootloop after flashing this, do this:

1. Extract archive

2. Copy /system folder to phone

3. Open TWRP recovery on phone

4. Mount /system and on file explorer delete /app, /priv-app and /framework

5. Copy extracted folders to /system

6. Wipe data (you can try with wiping only dalvik/cache)

7. Reboot

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MFister:
So I noticed that the newest version of GasBuddy says they fixed the battery drain problem that was affecting certain phone models. I decided to test this the last two nights. I Uninstalled GasBuddy and left my phone unplugged while I slept. I lost 2 percent from 100 percent. Then last night I tried with GasBuddy installed. I lost 20 percent and the keep awake time for android os was more than 8 hours. Is this still an issue for other people? I love GasBuddy and I hate to keep it off my phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynotrick:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghu007:
going to mobile version of the site from chrome and adding to homescreen for the time being seems to be better option instead of installing the app. Also this seems to be fast.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawiler:

Well I sent then an email hopefully they can fix the 2nd time around
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
Yes, problem still here, had to uninstall GasBuddy. Strange that it needs bluetooth and then GB doesn't even show up in BBS as holding a wakelock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jejb:
Just Greenify it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
Does that fix it? Have you tried it? I'm afraid that once it triggers bluetooth to keep the phone awake it may not go away even if you Greenify it. It feels like something wrong in the bluetooth stack that GB may trigger. I can't explain why GB doesn't show up in BBS or the Android battery monitor.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jejb:
No, apparently not. After reading this thread, I started GasBuddy for the first time on my new phone and put it right on the Greenify list. Constant wakelocks anyway, and battery took a steep downhill trend for the next few hours.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
Yeah, this may point to a Bluetooth stack problem and not really a GasBuddy problem, though the app triggers it. I'm sure there are other apps out there that trigger the same.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
Wow thank you people... I noticed in the last weeks that, as soon as I use the bluetooth and then stop using it (I disconnect my device), if I let the bluetooth activated, my phone was awake all the time. I couldn't find WHY !!

Then I saw a post from someone who said that the fix was to remove gasbuddy. I couldn't believe it, but I did the test and it's true !!

Gasbuddy is the culprit
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jejb:
It seems to be fixed now, in the latest release. I'm running it and have actually uninstalled Greenify. I never turn BT off. Battery life is excellent.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jejb:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
Stock only for me.

I just did it again :

I installed GasBuddy, I turn bluetooth ON, I connect my headphone.

I start TuneIn and start playing anything for a few seconds. Then I stop it and I disconnect my headphone and I let the bluetooth on

here is the wakelock again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jejb:
I only connect to my vehicles and laptop with BT, which I've done several times since loading GasBuddy's fixed release. No issues. Ended the day yesterday with 92%, including a couple of BT phone calls from my truck.

Okay...So I feel like a complete ID10T (IDIOT). I managed to Soft Brick Nexus 6P. Currently it goes between the white Google Logo with the unlock icon at the bottom and the "Your device software cannot be check for corruption Please lock the Bootloader." Image. I have tried using WUGFresh Toolkit to flash the files as well as just using the factory image to no avail.

I can get into TWRP but even when flashing CM13 it just sits at the white Google logo and does not continue.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonftfw:
Perhaps try manually flashing factory instead of using wugfresh's toolkit. I had a similar situation and that's what got me lot of my jam, but that may have been because wugfresh's kit wasn't updated for all the marshmallow shenanigans. So make sure you're on the latest version too
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxjcmxjc:
I tried that as well. I installed the Android SDK and put the angler-mmb29m-factory-8c31db3f files in adb folder on that's on the root of C:\ and ran the flash-all.bat. It goes though the process but I still get the same bootlooping issue.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkehenkie11:
What exactly did you do to softbrick it ?

If you connect with ADB, can you dump a log while booting ?

If not: what I'd try is do a factory reset, try a boot, when it loops, boot into TWRP. Then check if there's a log in /data/tombstones
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxjcmxjc:
Well when I received it, it was on 6.0.0 (MDB08L) so I rooted it and installed xposed framework. I was trying to install the OTA update for 6.0.1 and of course it failed with TWRP, so I decided I would just factory reset and start over and that was where the problem start. Once I rebooted it started bootlooping and has been doing so every since.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkehenkie11:
Hmm wish I knew a way how to help you but if you flashed all partitions to factory and also did a factory reset and if that still doesnt help, then I'd be out of idea's. I'd try to dump logs like I said in my previous posts, maybe there's something in there but still, it doesn't make any sense to me, so I doubt there's something in the logs to go by but who knows. ..

Maybe though it's encryption related ? I'm still a bit confused myself there how all that fits in.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxjcmxjc:
I checked the Tombstone folder and found 10 files there. Here is the link to the dumps. I really hope it helps.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkehenkie11:
Your error is "couldn't find an OpenGL ES implementation". So what we know:

1) The kernel boots

2) System image loads, it runs libEGL.so, this lib is in your system image.

3) libEGL.so tries to access the OpenGL implementation. This stuff is located in the vendor partition. And this is where it goes wrong. It says it cant find that file. What this means ? Not really sure. It could mean that the vendor partition is not good, maybe try to flash it again ? Also, what happens if you try to make a logcat during boot ? Issue:

adb logcat > out.txt

And see if it saves something after the bootloop. Maybe there's a better hint in there.

*EDIT2* also see if the openGL implementation is even there ! It should look like this:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkehenkie11:
Ok so it's not getting to that point, which makes sense I realize now, since first thing it does is trying to get display up (it's not even getting beyond that).

So, let's see if your vendor partition seems correct. boot into TWRP, connect via 'adb shell', then 'mount /vendor' and then:

ls -al /vendor/lib64/egl

and see if all the files are there that I listed in my post on the previous page of this thread
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hops4r0m:
I'm having the same issue. I stupidly tried to flash the OTA update via TWRP and now the phone won't go past the Google logo. Even when I restore my backup, it still won't go past that screen.

I didn't back up the vendor partition though (didn't know that I needed to).

My phone was not rooted. All I had was the custom recovery so that I can install MoaAB.

Now I have to wait until tomorrow because my USB C to USB A cable is at work. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

Yes the files are there. I was able to mount the vendor partition in TWRP and then use the File Manager to see the directory.

You can check whether you're on a stock or a custom rom by looking at the software number in settings > about > software information. If you use a custom rom then its name and its version will be stated there (e.g. ViperOneM9 3.5.0 in my case).
