HI guys:
These days we get some questions about XBMC for our Tronsmart T428 and Tronsmart MK908, in our before review, we said the XBMC 13.0 beta version can used in them, however, they still don’t do hardware decoding with the internal player, after searching some information, we find this XBMC version launch on xbmcandroid.com,and we tested in our Tronsmart T428 and Tronsmart MK908,it’s working! and can do 1080p hardware decoding with the external MX player. So for now, this is the best solution for XBMC on those quad core tv sticks.
Edit:
For Tronsmart T428 users:
Please make sure to flash This custom rom first, and then use the following XBMC.
For Tronsmart MK908 users:
Because the custom rom for MK908 hasn’t been ready, so till now, you just can use this XBMC Version!
All credit to XBMCANDROID staff, you guys did a great job!!
Step 1: Install the “MX Player” application to your Android device. You can do this through the Google Play store, or simply by navigating to this page on your device’s web browser and then clicking on the appropriate download link below:
Step 2: Launch and exit the “MX Player” application on your device at least once before continuing.
Step 3: Download and install the “XAF Custom Build of XBMC” to your Android device. You can do this by navigating to this page on your device’s web browser and then clicking on the appropriate download link below:
NOTE: Should you encounter any errors at this point, make sure to Enable “Unknown sources” under “Security -> DEVICE ADMINISTRATION” within your device’s “Settings” panel.
Step 4: Once it’s done installing, launch the “XBMC” application on your device for the first time, wait a minute before you begin using it so all updates can go through, then jump right in!
Welcome to report any problem you find.
Enjoy!

Still no crackle ,netflix or hulu support.
Also bluetooth hid does not work on this.
I am hoping these issues do get corrected.
No Idea that it did not work when It was purchased and the 4.1 has a sound problem you load that firmware version the sound stops after a reboot and or shutdown of the system so once it restarts no sound at all.
I think actually others have reported on this also .
Just wait til the imito few is uploaded and you should be able to flash that since they have same internals. I haven’t heard of Bluetooth not working though?
Bluetooth works, HID “bluetooth” Support does not on these newer firmware versions.
Only the 4.1 does hid work .

Which imito? If it’s qx1. mk908 does not have identical internals and WiFi chip may be different as well.
BOB ON FREAKTAB said he has made the netflix work on his custom rom of tronsmart t428, have you seen that? and i guess this must be the version problem.
No it does not work geekbuying.
Ive tried it and it partially works.
It will load and play but skips every few seconds and others are reporting the same thing. I am being patient and only giving my perspective and input ,
Im interested in seeing if my slingplayer tablet app will work on this? Still waiting on delivery. Do you think a ubuntu port will run on this ???
What about getting wifi working? This thing cant even stream video from youtube because its maxium wifi speed is 11mbps -__-
what? do you own the T428 or MK908?
as far as i know, we have some friends are already running ubuntu on it already,and they will post the instruction soon.
This is interesting, kernal source? http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/index.php?category=5
hardware decoding with the internal player working for me just fine am I missing something other than the video control when movie is playing but it works fine with xbmc remote from google play as well as mk802III remote
