This rom has been made by BOB Finless one week ago, but i miss it, so late to post here. All credit to BOB Finless.
Here is the custom rom changelog:
I put back the AOSP Android launcher.
1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2
2) Stock ROM was only 2 Gig of APP space.
BUT you also have parameter file options!
There are also 1gb, 2gb, 4gb and 6gb options.
Read below for how to change that in the flash tool.
Realize if you use this 6gb option, internal SDcard will only have about 600 megs of free space!
3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.
I also updated Google Play and required Google APPs to the latest version.
4) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is… ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
5) I re-enabled location services. This is now in the settings menu.
Tested and working with all APPs that use it.
Remember to turn off GPS as we have no GPS.
6) I also re-enabled accessibility options in settings.
7) Gameloft fix.
8) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say “not compatible”.
I am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.
Your device will show up in google play as Samsung device nopt a MK908 or RKSDK! Understand this please.
I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a 908ii.
WARNING if you do this, you need to be using the 1080 kernel or your screen will be oversized!
9) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).
10) I provide the stock kernel but it does have the micro frame skipping issue!
BUT I have also created Vsync patched kernels that fix the micro frame skipping!
I have set the flash tool to use a 720P vsync kernel by default.
11) 1080P Kernel if you want it!
I also created a stock 1080 kernel (has frame skipping) as well as a vsync patched 1080 kernel.
See instructions below for how to choose the correct boot.img and kernel.img
720P boot and kernel is the default setup in my flash tool.
12) By request I added TUN.KO for VPN support. It was not in the kernel by default.
thank you bob
also just wondering what make mk908 original any different to v3 or v5 when it comes to installing roms why are they not compatable with one another.
also i think V5 is the best soo far because the box never heats up even n hot weather
Really a great and helpful site.
Please where can I download finless 1.7 for all mk908 models and if possible install how to ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi, Eric, thanks for the ROM. I flashed it on my MK908 successfully, and when plug it in to the TV, I initially get the wizard, then when I try to put my wireless pw, it went black and restarted it. And after that, it keep reboot with logo, the website info, black screen, and logo….again. what did I do wrong? Thanks.
Make sure you use the 5V/2A power adapter.
This ROM seems to have fixed the reboot loop and crashes in my MK908.
Thanks!!! 🙂
