Hi there guys and girls, one more rom/fw for you all!
Many thks to Khadas for sending me the device to play
And many thks to @Robert for be my beta tester
Ok guys im going to write the max i remember i did on sdk⦠i canāt remember all of it!
Build from Latest source.
Debug Build ( i might do in the future a rls build with my own keys )
I also added my layout(in zip format in internal storage) for squarehome3, is not hard to import it, i will make a video on how to do it in the next days⦠or just search youtube i bet there is something explaining it!
READ RECOMMENDATIONS BELLOW!!!
IF YOU HAVE TO MANY ISSUES IN THE BUILD AFTER FLASH EVEN IF THE FLASH WENT OK, JUST REFLASH AGAIN THE IMG BECAUSE YOU GOT A BAD FLASH EVEN IF IT SAID IT WAS OK.
Changelog v8:
Merge latest change from tree
Added a white box to show actual screen size when resizing the screen!
Did some audio passthrough changes/fixes!
Fixed dual-boot it was broken, now coreelec/others boots fine from sdcard.
Fixed TWRP boot, and added it by default on the build.
Added mpeg-L2 audio support (i did not test so⦠it might work or not)
Removed dovi! (not working due to be locked to certain chips)
SD to HDR disabled by default now!
Enabled again deep sleep!
Some cleaning etcā¦
Recommendations:
I do recommend if you guys have issues playing some Dolby Digital audio, to go to āsettings->Device Preferences->Soundā, and in there in āSelect formatsā set it to āManual:Select which formats to useā, and them just manually enable all formats.
This is because there is an few issues how the sdk detects the formats being used in some videos with Dolby Digital audio, remember this will not mean you will have DTS-HD support or even Dolby Atmos, since the required libs are not there to have that support!
I also recommend on both builds to disable the āDNRā and also play with the āPicture Modeā, for that go to āsettings->Advanced Settings->Pictureā.
Bugs?:
Of course there is bugs⦠there always be bugsā¦
Hi @Frank , ye they are wrong is linked to this rom, this one is regular android.
The AndroidTV one is in another topic here in VIM3 section.
I posted 2 roms
Hi @superceleron, thanks for the rom! Just got my VIM board (VIM 3 V12) recently and was looking forward to giving this a try.
Iām struggling to flash it, though. Iām using USB burning tool 2.1.7.3 and canāt get past 3% ([0x10303004]Romcode/Switch status/Identify/Error result). No luck using an SD card and burn card maker either: I lose output signal almost immediately after it starts updating, unless I donāt erase the bootloader where it completes installing but then I get no output signal on reboot. Same issue with the Beta1 image. Validated the checksum on both images, everything seems fine there.
That said, I have no problem flashing it with the stock Pie rom with the same setup.
I wonder if anyone else is having (had) a similar issue?
Not sure it would matter, but did you erase the eMMC prior to flashing? I am not referring to settings in the USB Burning Tool, but actually erasing eMMC as described here.
I tried erasing the eMMC (using Interrupt Mode, rebooted to confirm) and still had the same issue. Will look at it further today, no solution yet. Any suggestions (no matter how simple) are welcome.
This is the full error log for reference:
@Terry did you guys change the uboot from this VIM3_Pie_V190809.7z to previous builds?
Because it looks like yes, because the ā[0x10303004]Romcode/Switch status/Identify/Error resultā only happens when uboot was changed, i notice you guys are now using another branch tree because the one i used is ākhadas-vim3-pieā and now i see one new in there ākhadas-vims-pieāā¦
