Here is the newest custom rom for the Tronsmart MK908II, hope you guys enjoy it!
changelog:
1) Rooted and new SU and Superuser applied that supports Android 4.2.2
The stock Tronsmart ROM was rooted but NOT CORRECTLY! And was using an old version!
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.
You should not have to update anything as of this date. Nice and clean ![[ROM Download] New Custom Rom for Tronsmart MK908II Quad Core TV Stick](http://www.freaktab.com/images/smilies/smile.png "Smile")
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) 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 not a MK908ii! 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 908.
WARNING if you do this, you need to be using the 1080 kernel or your screen will be oversized!
6) I removed the pre-install crap APPs.
7) VSYNC patched kernels! Yep the stock kernel in this ROM has micro frame skipping.
Sometimes I just get Tronsmart! They fix it in some of their devices but not in others.
Anyway, micro frame skipping is patched in all the supplied kernels in the ROM.
8) Kernel choices:
Yes I give you TRUE 1080P kernel! I patched the stock kernel myself!
Kernels:
kernel720.img
kernel1080.img
There are also matching boot.img’s.
The boot1080.img will give you large icons (like 720P) with a 1080P kernel.
Note: DO NOT use boot1080.img with a 720 kernel or your screen will be all jacked up on boot!
9) I also provide some overclocked kernels! See below.
10) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).
11) My usual patches and updates for performance.

The download link don.t work!!
Finnaly work!!What firmware is the best by name?
Can you share the screenshots? I got the one with the homescreen where you cannot customize it at all ( cannot move icons ). does this one has the same behavior?
NO,it has the regular android lanucher.
Thanks for the quick response. Eric, is it possible to share the screenshots?
beside the screenshots , I have this one:
Kernel:
3.0.36+
sz_V_105j2#17
Vendor Software version:
205j2 17-12-2013
is there any way I can change the launcher in this version without upgrading the firmware? I read in one of the posts that user can select the launcher.
screenshot updated.
I cannot put the device into Flash mode using the RESET button.
nothing happens at all… any idea?
what firmware do you recommend for my mk 908ii?
no matter what Id o, i cannot get it recognized by the windows 7 PC.
There is a “connect to PC” checkbox in Settings. should it be checked to be able to be detected by PC? I find that when i checked it, next time i reboot the device, it becomes unchecked. is it something preventing it to be recognized by the PC?
I install this new firmware and working very good!Wait a good android 4.4.2 for mk 908ii!!
After a few days i have grey signal to my wifi connection and the internet don’t work anymore!Any sugestions?
Hi Eric,
just a simple question.According to your post, micro frame skipping is fixed. is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
Regleaza data!
Dear Bob!
I downloaded this latest firmware for the MK908II and tried to flash it onto the device. Followed your instructions precisely, driver update was successful, I’ve rebooted the PC and the MK908II and then tried to do the flashing. The LowerFormat completed successfully pretty quickly and then I started the “Run” phase, as in your instructions. Unfortunately it fails exactly at 21% at the step “Download systemjb…” Please see the screenshot. I’ve tried this twice and both times it fails exactly at 21% at systemjb.

Any idea how to get it working?
Thank you!
Problem solved. I had to attach the MK908II with its USB cable directly to a USB port on my Windows machine. When it was failing at 21% I was attaching it to the same USB port of my Windows machine, but through a 1 meter long USB cable between the USB port and the MK908II’s USB cable (I was lazy to get down below the table and plug it in directly into the USB port, so I used this extension cable, which caused the failure at 21%. Strange…).
Anyway, now the firmware is flashed and running great! Thank you!
Unfortunately the VNC connections still don’t accept mouse/keyboard input from the VNC clients. People say that it’s some uinput bug. It seems it hasn’t been fixed 🙁
What app do i need on my phone to make work wifidisplay??
Any news about another firmware??
Is there any important change you want to put in the new stock firmware?
Yes the Kitkat!! 😀
KitKat rom for this Tronsmart?
I installed 1080p boot and kernel on a Tronsmart mk908ii, but 1080 still isn’t an option in the Screen preferences. Anyone have an idea why?
