808B vs. 808B Clone - are both FW compatibel ? - Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers

I have read that custom FW for MK808B would not run on a MK808B clone.
a) how do you tell you only have a clone ?
b) does that mean the custom Roms for MK808B won´t run on it ?

At this point I think each require separate roms but roms are usually released for both together.
I even think they are starting to make a single rom for both. Development is picking up on it since the MK808 and MK808B and its fake are essentially the same aside from the radio chips.

Hi,
Just got my MK808B yesterday. Last week, I purchased the SmartStick but was annoyed that it did not come with Bluetooth. I have a ton of bluetooth keyboards, didn't want to spend any more money on keyboards.
Anyway, the MK808B is by far the better of the two.
But of course, now I am also worrying that I might have a clone.
And I'm seeing these firmware upgrades to bring my MK808B from 4,1,1 to 4,2.2 (something from Geekbuying) MK808B Android 4.2.2 Beta.
And of course I'm looking to root, and I did find here on XDA a Tutorial and the drivers to be able to root your devices.
One thing I just found which is fantastic, is the inclusion of a piece of software called 'eHomeMediaCenter' which is a system app. And from the Play Store, I found the following app, MK802 III Remote (there is a MK802 II but it doesn't work). This MK802 III along with the eHomeMediaCenter (I renamed the broadcast name) allows you to remote control your MK808B with an Android Phone or Tablet, keyboard and everything. Total control, No need to purchase any of this special keyboards. It works perfectly.
And I have loaded all my apps that I have on my phone and my tablets with no issue so far.
Thanks!
Rob
PS If you can recommend the newest safe firmware and link, that would be appreciated. Just trying not to brick my $50 system.

My favorite firmware is the Minix Hybrid. It is prerooted. I don't think its 4.2.2 yet but he said he's working on it. Yea the eHomeMediaCenter is cool.
Ill check out that MK802 III app. Hows it work? Put the app on the phone or both? Does it work like an airmouse? That would be cool.

The software is free, so just try it. No not like an airmouse, just a touchpad.
I at first purchased a Smartstick, but didn't like that it did not have Bluetooth.
But it contains the built-in TV Remote which works with what I thought was good, Google's Remote. You put Google Remote on your phone or tablet and then the TV Remote which came with the Smartstick. I liked that as well.
So I'm trying to find a way to install this TV Remote.apk package which I pulled off the Smartstick but was a system app and tried to install it on the MK808B. It didn't work, I wonder if it can even be done?

Looks like that thread is about as good as you will get at this point. Like you I'm trying to find out as well and so far not having a lot of luck. I'm actually waiting for FedEx to deliver my mk808B. I will be glad to give you a report on that after spending some time with it this afternoon.

He's saying that MX1 is faster than the MK808 (and I read that MX2 is even better than MX1 because of the plastic shell)

I've been looking forward to this one since the announcement last month.
As usual shipping from china takes some time. However in the USA there isn't much problems with customs.
I've ordered plenty of stuff via Hong Kong of Singapore shipping and at worst have only had to go to the post office to pick it up.
I ordererd with DHL, but I also ordered some other items to make it worth the extra cost.
Plus it costs me $10 to get to the post office and back so express shipping just makes sense to me.
I'm sure these will show up on ebay in about a month for $10-$20 more with a usa seller.
That's the way these things usually go.
Other then this one, what has been the better one to buy?

The current stick with the most support, roms, and development would be the original MK808.
It's based on the RK3066 dual core with 1GB ram and 8GB nand. This is considered last generation hardware.
I love/hate this stick. It uses the RK901 wifi which has signal drop problems and maxes out at 65Mbps.
It's also one of the few android sticks with a heatsink which allows it to operate at over 1.2Ghz without issues.
It can be had for under $45 shipped. I own several of these.
I just received news that another RK3188 stick is being released.
The MK908 - upgraded version of the MK808 series.
-Rk3188
-2GB ram
-8GB nand
-Wifi b/g/n
-Bluetooth 4.0
-1 full size usb port
-1 mini usb port OTG
-1 mini usb port for power
-female mini hdmi port
-hidden reset button
From what I can tell the main difference between the MK908 and the T428 is the wifi, the casing, the mini hdmi port, and the extra OTG mini usb port.
The MK908 does not support 5Ghz like the T428 is supposed to.
The MK908 does have an extra mini usb port with OTG support.
The MK908 has a female mini hdmi port instead of a male full size hdmi connector.
There's also a price difference. MK908 is $89 vs the T428 at $99.
It's a good deal if you don't need/want 5Ghz wifi.
I also ordered one of these so I should be able to provide a review when it comes.

As of right now you can't put ubuntu onto the rk3188 devices.
There is no kernel source released or leaked. Hopefully we'll get some kernel source like we did for the rk3066
It may be possible to do ubuntu the old way with a vnc viewer, but I won't know until I get my sticks delievered.
I'm willing to be the guinea pig for any testing that needs to be done once I have these speed demons in my hands.

The controller at the top of my list is the Logitech K400. I like the position of the extra mouse button on the opposite side from the touchpad.
It's a bit big though.
I've also had success using the Rii Mini, and the Measy RC12.
I'm using that K400 keyboard and it works great. It has about 90% functionality in Android. Now about this Quad stick. I'd stay away from the thing or any Media box/stick unless you can mod it with a heat sink at least .. TV boxes get pushed more then a smartphone does and while these CPU's run cool enough in a smartphone and tablet, not so much in a Media box. I have the Promethius and it didn't have a heat sink. Playing Angry Birds or any 3D game caused it to lock up. I added a heat sink and it worked fine but ran really hot even at stock clocks. Now that I've moded my box with a tall heat sink and fan, this is no longer the problem and It runs super cool, even overclocked to 1.3GHz. These products are being made half ass. Be warned !

Both the T428 and the MK908 have heatsinks. So no worries on that end!
The Prometheus really needed a heatsink as did the original UG802.
Anyhow I'm expecting delivery by Tuesday so hopefully I'll have preliminary reviews up by Wednesday.
I'm really looking forward to it!
I've got one of the mk908's en route as well.
One rub though already: rk3188 is full 1080p, 3d and dual screen capable but this stick is shipping as 720p native.
I'm bouncing emails with geekbuying now to see what the deal is.
I just found this http://www.shenzhenpc2u.com/2013/04/here-comes-android-4-2-rk3188-quad-core-1080p-dlna-tv-stick-ug802b/ which has the same specs but lists 1080p native and ac3/dts decoding. only difference seems to be android 4.2 hopefully the mk908 will get the goods when the roll out the 4.2 upgrade... fingers crossed

I received both the T428 and the MK908 last night. So I've started the review process and should have something up within the next day or 2.
The link you provided for the UG802B has screen shots showing that it also is running at 1280x672.
From what I've seen with the RK3066 kernels it's just a matter of selecting 1080p when they compile the kernel.
So any of these devices should be able to support native 1080p if the manufacturer compiles a kernel for it.
The real trick for rockchip would be for them to finally figure out how to enable real switching of resolutions. They generally make these chips for tablets that have set screen sizes so they haven't gotten that down yet.
I got this response from geek buying :
Hello there,
the future will achieve 1080P.
We will get ROM as soon as possible.

Amy

I've never used miracast before, so I've been trying to set it up with my phablet.
I know that the T428 has support for it, I just don't seem to be able to connect properly with my phablet.
The T428 says connected, my phablet sticks at connecting...
In other news I've uploaded the stock 4.2.2 firmware for the T428.

I'm in the process of making a slightly modified version of this that will have root and a 2GB data partition.
I may included some other tweaks.
Thanks for trying, let me know if you have any luck.
I'll try with my nexus 4 when I get mine delivered.

Exoon Q2 Mini Dongle vs Tronsmart T428 (Identical?)

Hi everyone,
So I am about to order a Tronsmart T428, as after some research I have concluded that it looks like the best Android stick out there.
It has the new wifi chip (Broadcom AP6330), which supports 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz wifi and Bluetooth 4.0. The rest is basically the same with all the RK3188 chip Android sticks (Quad 1.8Ghz/2GB RAM/8GB ROM/Support for microsd and 1 full sized USB2.0).
But, as every new technology it has some bugs, mostly in XBMC which is why I have been postponing the purchase.
Now I have found the Exoon Q2 Mini Dongle has a new ROM, which supposedly enabled hardware acceleration on XBMC and promises a smooth performance (please see here).
When comparing the hardware of the 2 products, I find it 100% identical (from reading the specifications).
Could anyone confirm that? Would the Exoon Q2 Mini Dongle ROM work with the T428?
If this would be true, it would make these small pens an extremely good buy, as the media center abilities are the biggest selling point for me).
Please let me know what you think.
Exoon's other devices are just the Minix Neo X5 and G4 just put a different sticker and added a 100 buck on to the price the rom dev has his roms on MINIX forums if you load one you get the Exoon boot logo so yes they will probably work but finless Bob makes better Roms
Sent from my Nexus 7
I see exynos 4412 as SoC for the q2, t428 has rk3188
Sorry my bad it is this one..

Still 100 bucks cheaper
Sent from my Nexus 7
Thank you all for the replies.
@quincyquinn
I still don't have the T428, waiting for it to arrive as I already ordered 3 . This thread was made due to the fact that I was reading the Exoon claim that they have developed a ROM for their Q2 and Q2 mini stick which has flawless playback in XBMC with hardware acceleration, something that T428 still did not have (or at least I thought that they did not have).
When comparing the specifications they even have the same WIFI chip, so I was not sure if their ROM would've been better on the T428 than the current official ROM.
Good to hear that there is something better to use, its a pity we don't have a place on XDA for the Android development for these devices.
As for the link you have posted, thanks for the suggestion, but it's not only the slower CPU but also the fact that it only has 1GB of RAM that puts me of. Plus it is more expensive than the T428.
@NixZero
Please see the specifications for Exoon Q2 mini dodge here
And for T428 here
Unless I am missing something they look to be exactly the same on the hardware side, with both of them using the same RK3188 chip.
Have a nice day.

yeah, they looks like exactly the same dongle with just a different sticker, I was looking at the q2 box (why the heck they call everything with the same name?) which has a samsung cpu.
in theory you should be able to buy a 428 (less expensive) and burn one of their roms to get any advantage they have but looks like they still have to make a custom rom, there's not even a specific forum page for the new dongle on their forums.
the "firmware" page refers to the samsung one, not the new rk3188.
Exoon Roms are just custom Roms for the T428 they will not work any better than any custom ROM. Finless Bob and a few more make better Roms for these rock chip devices but the big problem is rockchip do not release source code for any chip so xbmc devs any limited to what they can do this is why the Samsung chip might be a better in the long run

Thank you all for your replies. I still hope RK3188 will get their source code released, it is still a relatively new chip and apparently with a good performance. If RK3066 has XBMC working correctly, it is just a matter of time to get it working on this new quad core edition with a slightly higher clock .
By the way, yesterday the new firmware for the T428 has been released (4.2.2) with working bluetooth and netflix improvements. I should be getting mine next week, so I will be able to give more information about the performance.
Back to the topic, if EXOON is claiming a flawless play for 1080p content on XBMC on their Q2 and Q2 mini dodge, by this logic owners of T428 should be able to have that also.

X6S Rockchip - 2GB RAM, Quad Core - Thoughts?

This device must be a recent release; I can't find any discussion about it anywhere.
X6S Android 4.2 Smart TV Box (Wifi,Blue-tooth,LAN,OTG,USB,HDMI,TF,AV) - USD $ 75.99
I'm interested in using it as a headless wifi repeater and dash cam.
I like it for the form factor, and the fact that it seems to have two removable antennas. (I'll likely run a higher gain/amplified antenna to one of the ports)
Has anybody used one of these before?
Thanks.

Need a room for a Rockchip RK3066 stick?

Just bought a TV Stick with these specs
Specifikationer:
Chipset: Rockchip RK3066
CPU: AMR Cortex A9 Dual core 1.6 GHz
GPU: Mali-400MP Quad core
RAM: 1 GB DDR3
Flash memory: 8 GB
Memory card: Micro SD up to 32 GB
WiFi: 802.11 b/g/n
Android version: 4.2 .1Jelly Bean
Bluetooth: 2.1
The firmware preinstalled is a mess. And i wounder if there is any way to install a "Universal" room whom will work on this stick.
The brand is Andersson :s
I have googled and found out lots of firmwares from rockchipfirmware.com but dunno what to take? I want as clean as possible, and will be mostly using XBMC.
There are hundreds of RK3066 sticks out there. Unfortunately there is no universal firmware. The best way to find a working firmware is to shoot some fotos of the device (also of the inside) and post them here. Maybe someone recognises it and knows a firmware for it. Good luck!
Thanks for the info.
Have not opened it yet.. I will try to do so.
It has problems with HD movies on xbmc, so i will try to find a nother rom or fix!
Try SPMC. That's a special XBMC version for TV Boxes and TV Sticks. Also try to play with the hardware acceleration settings in XBMC/SPMC (switch between mediacodec and libstagefright HW decoding).
Guess you have been shopping at NetonNet
Check the thread at sweclockers: Google for "ads 2.1 99"
I have not rooted yet, but the 4.4 rom without overlocking works like a charm on two sticks for the kids
The remote itself is worth the money...
