What does properly mean?<br \/>\nAndroid 4.4.2 requires SU to be running as a deamon now.  There are many ways to run this as a damon.<br \/>\nMost roots so far are using a install-recovery.sh script or if init.d is enabled, a init.d script.<br \/>\nThis means you could lose root if messing with these scripts which some rooted apps do!<br \/>\nWhat I have done is started the damon in init.rc thus eliminating the need for boot scripts!<br \/>\nThis took me a while to learn to do!  Enjoy a BETTER ROOT!<\/p>\n<p>2) Stock ROM was only 1 Gig of APP space.<br \/>\nBUT you also have parameter file options!<br \/>\nThere are also 1gb, 2gb, 4gb and 6gb options.<br \/>\nRead below for how to change that in the flash tool.<br \/>\nI made the default 2GB<\/p>\n<p>3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.<br \/>\nThere was quite a few useless hidden apps in this kitkat release!  Some of them did not even work.<br \/>\nI also updated Google Play and required Google APPs to the latest versions.<\/p>\n<p>4) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is&#8230; ignore it. For geeks that want to use it.  It is there!<br \/>\nThis time around due to updated security in 4.4, init.d was a lot harder to get working.<br \/>\nAgain I had to figure it out!<\/p>\n<p>5) I dumped the crappy modified kitkat launcher that was in this and used the AOSP stock kitkat launcher.<br \/>\nThis gives you the transparent status bars back.<\/p>\n<p>6) Rotation is now locked in this ROM <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Smile\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freaktab.com\/images\/smilies\/smile.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/> No APP needed.<\/p>\n<p>7) Calendar app was not working.  I replaced it with the AOSP Google Calendar APP.<\/p>\n<p>8) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say &#8220;not compatible&#8221;.<br \/>\nI am spoofing a Samsung device that will show almost any APP as compatible.<br \/>\nYour device will show up in google play as Samsung device not a T428 or RKSDK!  Understand this please.<br \/>\nI also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.<br \/>\nIf you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old<br \/>\nThen rename build.orig to build.prop.<br \/>\nGo into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app.  Clear the cache and data.<br \/>\nReboot!  You should be back to showing up as a 908.<br \/>\nWARNING if you do this, you need to be using the 1080 kernel or your screen will be oversized!<\/p>\n<p>9) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to bootloader (flash mode).<\/p>\n<p>10) A working TWRP recovery!<br \/>\nSpecial thanks to Freaktab developer Abdul_pt for working on this.  He did all the hard work!<br \/>\nI had to modify it to work fully on this TV stick so it could be flashed with a ROM.<\/p>\n<p>11) Kernel choices:<br \/>\nSpecial thanks to Freaktab user D33 for making this awesome kernels.<br \/>\nThere is a 720 and 1080 3188 kernel OC&#8217;ed to 1.8mhz<br \/>\nThere are also 720 and 1080 kernels for the 3188T clocked to 1.4mhz<br \/>\nThe 720 3188 kernel is the default.<\/p>\n<p>12) Boot choices!<br \/>\nThere is a boot720 that is to be used with 720 kernels<br \/>\nOPTIONAL boot1080 that you can use with a 1080 kernel if you want large 720 style desktop icons!<br \/>\nIf you use the boot720 with a 1080 kernel you will have smaller icons<br \/>\nDO NOT use the boot1080 with a 720 kernel or your desktop icons will be messed up!!!!<\/p>\n<p>13) Other little fixes here and there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freak-tab.de\/finless\/tronsmart_t428kk_finless_20.zip\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">firmware Download link<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eric<\/p>\n<p>Geekbuying<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HI Guys: You must wait for looooooooooong time for this custom rom, with the help of Bob Finless, we finally can post this custom rom for the Tronsmart T428. though [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1091],"tags":[2869,2868],"class_list":["post-11790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tv-boxes-mini-pcs","tag-tronsmart-t428-android-4-4-kitkat-rom","tag-tronsmart-t428-kitkat-rom"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 -
