hi

Hi Equancy,

Is a small community of CS968 users here: freaktab.com/forumdisplay.php?165-CS968-CR11s-amp-similar-sticks
Would you like to share this rom there too?

Hi,
Yeah, it seems not much users have CS968 here in XDA but, I'm a member of XDA-Dev and I share what I have here, but you may share this thread on freaktab as yours if you wish.
I have no account on FreakTab and I don't think I may able to manage this thread on multiple forums.
So, I can answer questions only here and also publish updates of my rom.

Thanks for your interest.

Yes,
Multi-window not working, but some features of Gravitybox well.
Actually I've put Multi-window by mistake, it was a bit late when I saw :)
However you may remove this app by following steps below.

1- Deactivate Multi-window app in Xposed modules menu (uncheck)
2- Reboot
3- Open RootBrowser and go to System/app directory
4- Long press on multi_window.apk and select Delete

I didn't tested all of modules and most of them are not working properly because of Tablet UI, I'll remove both application in next firmware mod.

Sorry for inconvenience, thanks for understanding.

Hi Equancy,

I am having issues with wifi direct. I can establish the wifi direct connection with the other device (Samsung Galaxy S3) just fine, I can send files from the box to the SG3, but I absolutely can't receive files sent from the SG3 to the box (I never even get the prompt).

I also tried to use the Superbeam app, and same story: I can send files out but not receive them.

Any clue? I am not sure whether this is specific to your ROM as I haven't tried with any other.

Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

hi,
Thanks for your best wishes, hoping same for you.

For the issue,
Possible answer for WiFi Direct function is Firmware related, because I didn't touched any system file except su binary and build.prop.
I also tested by my self, receiving files from TVBox is working but transfering to the device isn't via SuperBeam.
As I said before, I suppose it is a firmware bug and must be reported.
And question is:
To who :)

However, you may ask other users who is using another firmware versions or custom roms.

Happy new years...

It is very little bit slower than v1.1 but its not really noticable on 2D applications, can you specify what have you experienced actually?

I'm using a NTFS formatted NAS drive with no problem, even watching MKV files about 40-50 mbps rate. (NetGear ReadyNAS).

All of thoose modules have been supplied but not loaded by default need manually installed or you must add lines to the init.rc from system.
This can't be automatically because Kernel needs to be modified and I don't want to do that.
NFS module is actual module for RK3188.

If you more specify problem may be I can look it for you.

And for your consideration...
Some issues are FIRMWARE RELATED, because these firmwares aren't fully optimized, just generic RK3xxx roms.
Not good drivers at all...

And not all manyfacturers optimizes their own firmwares.
Produce and forget policy.

You've done very well my friend, please let us know if you get an answer from them.
I also tried to get screen mirroring to work with the wifidisplay app included in the ROM (is this also part of the original image or did you add it?).

Again, I can set up the mirroring connection between a Samsung Note 3 and the wifidisplay app, but then actual mirroring never happens. I suspect that whatever causes wifi direct not to work also causes the mirroring not to work... pity as this is would be a nice feature...

@EQUANCY,

I have a strange issue related to sound settings, its because of the stock firmware issue, hope you give some pointers on this :)

in the sound devices settings, there is input sound device and o/p sound device. I understand abt the output sound device, but what is the use of input sound device ? and is by default always set. Is there a way to disable the i/p device ?.
I ask this bcasue, my sound bar sony will cutoff the sound to other devices if the cs968 device is switched-off, if in on/standby mode, the sound passthorough (via cs968 )for other devices i hv connected to my soundbar. My guess is that since sound input device is checked(Radio button on), sound bar thinks that it has to pass through cs968. If i unplug the hmdi cable from cs968, the soundbar wrks fine.

My guess is that somewhere in the settings xml file, there shd be a way of disabling the sound input device.
I tried decompiling settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk searched all file with sound as filecontent key, but could not find anything related to disabling of sound input device.

can you help me on this ???

Wifi Display part of firmware self, I didn't add by myself and yes it is not working properly, I've read at somewhere this application supports only Nexus devices but I'm not sure.

Disabling sound input?
As much as I know, the only sound input is internal microphone.
I real don't know the other sound inputs and als no clue about disabling it.

If you mean sound output such as Analog, Optical and HDMI then may be there is option but for input, I have no idea.

Sorry.

Hi,
Open RootBrowser (usually opens in main directory) if not then got to Main Directory first then next to
\System\App
And long press the application which you want to remove and select Delete.

Or download a root uninstaller from market then uninstall what you want.

Hope this helps.

    Firmware flashing guide.

    [ HD QUALITY BOOT ANIMATIONS... ]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612221
    3
    Here I write a simple guide for you, I'm assuming you are using windows xp or higher...

    Step 1 [ Preparing ]

    First download RK-Batchtool and drivers, unzip them a location where you can find easily, Example : C:\Rk311 or so, and also download firmware image here so you don't need to search for it.

    Now power off your device, you don't need to set USB debugging mode or so, not necessary...
    You need an USB cable with both sides full size (Type-A)
    There is a reset hole a side of the device, just by USB ports.
    And the opposide side you'll see one of USB ports as HOST port there is also label and MicroSD socket, this port you must use.
    Connect your usb cable to this port but not to pc yet.

    You don't need AC adapter to be connected, USB is enough.

    Step 2 [ Flashing ]

    1. While holding reset button connect your device to your PC, install necessary drivers and open RKBatch Tool.
    2. If you connected your device properly then you' ll see one of the ports Green.
    3. Select rom which you want to flash while clicking Browse.
    4. If it is correct rom then you'll see some information about roms then click Restore,
    5. If not then you'll receive an Error message choose correct rom then try again and next to 6..
    6. Wait for erasing device memory...
    7. Your device will reboot (DO NOT PLUG-OUT)
    8. After reboot RK-Batchtool goes to start flashing firmware to your device, wait till ends.
    9. After flashing new firmware will be checked for sure, after %100 your device will be restarted then you may plug it out.
    Look at the attachment you can see how it is looks like if you did everythings correctly.


    Hope this guide helps.


    Success... :good:

    As promised pictures spread board.
    It shows that the board revision number 3 and Mediatek chip costs
    may be due to the fact that the chip is not AP6210, and Mediatek.

    Your device is different than ours, WIFI module is another brand, so another drivers and modules are necessary.

    V2: AP6210
    V3: MT5931 Wifi and MT6622
    bluetooth

    You need specific firmware for your device, because these drivers must be initialized at boot time.

    Sorry but this rom is not for you.
    2
    Well even if the ported ROM does not work, there are two possibilities (correct me if I'm wrong):

    1. Software isn't working with my hardware which can be solved by flashing a stock or different ROM
    2. Hardware gets damaged through "wrong" or incompatible software (worst case) and device turns into salvage...

    Taking a look at the company CloudNet I tend to believe that they wouldn't go through the trouble of using a different hardware "layout" (except perhaps a different camera) to upgrade there device by nothing else then 3MP... therefore my amateur expectation is that the ROM should work more or less fine.
    Or did I miss something important?

    Probably this firmware will work on your device (except camera), but your device may also not boot again...
    However, I think it can still be recoverable while flashing its original firmware.
    But, it is risky and yes your device may become unrecoverably damaged.

    I have also firmware of 5 mpx version, as I said before I can mod it later (Weekend), this will be harmless and won't damage your device.
    But, I can't test it and I may not be able to see its working good or bad, even is rooted or not.

    I've got my TV01. I flashed this rom, and for now everything is all right.
    Nice work and big thanks. :good:

    Your welcome.
    2
    I hope this information will warn others of this problem.
    I think it is necessary to specify in the header of your theme.
    Firmware great pity is not suitable for us (
    Be able to finalize it for us if I can get a dump of firmware V.3 board?
    Or even try to supplement only driver module for Wi-fi and BT if possible.
    Thank you!

    I didn't know anything about 3rd version of wifi, but I'll put it information at first post.

    I've figured out both kernel modules have been supplied in firmware, only difference is initialisation of drivers.
    I think you can test WIFI, if you still have my firmware on your device.

    Set WI-FI state OFF and
    Try this commands from terminal.

    Code:
        su
        chmod 0644 /system/lib/modules/mt5931.ko
        insmod mt5931.ko

    Try to turn WIFI-ON if won't work then you need your own drivers and modules so this is very complicated.
