INTRODUCTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of this firmware provided by Skelton and Tincore is to provide a firmware just with the essential apps and tools needed for gaming, with no bloatware applications. It also includes several fixes to make system more stable and usable.<\/p>\n

FEATURES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rooted.
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Google Play full compatibility (device spoofed as Samsung Galaxy S3)
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Init.d support for manual scripts (you can add scripts that you want to be run in init)
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Stock launcher replaced by apex Launcher (stock launcher has some bugs)
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0No bloatware or chinese applications. Only apps added are Tincore Keymapper, Tincore Quickflasher,\u00a0 and Total Commander. They are all installed in userspace area so they can be removed easily in case you don’t like them. You will need to install your own emulators from google play store.
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0No GPD stock mapper, replaced by Tincore Keymapper. You can invoke Tincore using gamepad icon at system bar like in stock mapper. If you are a lover of stock mapper, then this firmware is not for you.
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Added reboot option to power system menu.
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Oveclocked kernel to 1,6 ghz as optional patch (see above for further instructions)
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0New kernel compiled from scratch with following features:
\n– New joystick driver written by Tincore, much faster and much more responsive than stock driver. Full analog ranges and following Android standard for gamepads. Analogs are much more responsive and there is no input lag at all.
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Vsync video playback fixed: Video playback is smooth now.<\/p>\n

ABOUT TINCORE KEYMAPPER:<\/strong><\/p>\n

ABOUT TINCORE QUICKFLASHER:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tool is used to flash kernels or other system modifications
\nwithout PC or recovery.<\/p>\n

Play store
\nhttps:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.tincore.and.quickflasher<\/a><\/p>\n

INSTALLATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to install the firmware you need RK Batch Tool in your PC included in the rar package.<\/p>\n

\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Open Batch tool and select the Legacy_XX image file (.img).
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0With GPD power off, just connect it via USB Cable to PC. Wait until battery charging animation dissappears. Then just press and Hold Volume + button and Press Power. RK Batch Tool will detect device, and you’ll see the number 1 with a green box. If you see with a pink box, just select Switch Button until you see it in green. If the system ask you for some drivers, then just use the one included in the Batch Tool (or using driverInstaller package to install rockchip USB drivers).
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Once device is detected with a green BOX, just select Restore and wait patiently while firmware is written.
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Device will auto reboot to recovery and format your partitions. Just wait patiently until all process is done, since it’s a long process and first boot can take several minutes, so just wait until it finishes and you see the home Android launcher.<\/p>\n

PATCHES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have included several patches in the rar than can be flashed via Quickflasher. Just copy them to mnt\/sdcard\/quickflasher. Patches are the following:<\/p>\n

\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Kernel Overclocked: Is the kernel included in the rom but overclocked to 1,6 ghz
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Kernel_standard: The kernel that comes by default with this firmware, in case you need to re-install it.<\/p>\n

KNOWN BUGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Dead Trigger 2 shows graphics incorrectly, so the game is unplayable.
\n– sometimes, after a full charge, you may experience a slight screen flicker with max brightness. Just move brightness slier or enter an app and should be fine.
\n– There could be some bug here and there, android 4.4.2 in RK is rather new and is constantly changing to be improved, so let me know your findings.<\/p>\n

GENERAL TIPS and CONSIDERATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Default CPU governor (interactive) and I\/O Scheduler are pretty conservative. For very demanding applications like PPSSPP or Reicast I suggest using ondemand CPU governor and deadline I\/O scheduler. You can control this by using a CPU app like SETCPU, NoFrillsCPU, CPU tuner, etc…
\n\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If something (an app or game) is not working, send me a logcat to see what’s going on. All complaints just saying \u201cThis app game doesn’t work\u201d without a logcat will be ignored. And of course apps should be legally obtained. If your get an game or app from unofficial sources and does not work, then buy it and try again.<\/p>\n

\uf02d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you want to make your microSD as primary sdcard, just go to settings\/storage and select external SD as primary sdcard. This will swap internal and external memory. Then power off and next boot memories will be swapped.<\/p>\n
