Disclaimer: if you need stock mapper functionality, then this firmware is not for you - consider this rom by pogodancer instead.



Features:
? Custom kernel ported to KK and built completely from scratch
? Max. CPU frequency at 1.6GHz (with optional overclock)
? Improved 'interactive' governor - less lag
? Improved battery indication
? Fixed loud click when headphones attached
? Updated Wi-Fi drivers (v. 3.50.WFD)
? CIFS and UTF-8 support
? App partition from 2GB up to 12GB
? Root (SuperSU)
? Play Market compatibility (spoofed as GT-I9300)
? Minimum preinstalled content

Other features:
? Refresh rate is 60Hz (lcd driver from my JB kernel)
? Power button works
? Headphones work
? Right stick range is correct
? HDMI: reported to be at 40fps


Installation:
1. Open RKBatch Tool and connect usb cable.
2. Hit 'Switch' after pink icon lights up. Install drivers if needed
3. Hit 'Restore' after green icon lights up and wait for flashing to complete
On the first boot SuperSU will prompt you to update binaries - choose 'Normal'. No internet connection required
To install updates put the package in 'quickflasher' folder on the internal sd, open Quickflasher, set device to 'Rockchip Universal' and select the package you wish to install.

Some newer devices might have problems at 1.6GHz. If you experience any stability issues then lower the frequency in No-Frills and check 'set on boot'.

Overclock:
This rom comes bundled with 2 kernels: default and overclocked (1.7GHz for T-models and 1.8GHz for non-T) with reduced CPU and GPU power consumption. Use Quickflasher to install the kernel.
Use No-frills to adjust frequency. I do not recommend clocking CPU higher than 1.6GHz. Overclocked kernel might not run stable on your device.
Do this at your own risk!


Recommendations:
? To make installation process easier stock recovery was used. I suggest installing CWM Recovery from CrewRK instead.
? To launch Tincore when 'mapper' button is pressed go to Settings, select 'Open mapper on sequence', type in 'F12 1' and save. 'Invert X' and 'Invert Y' must be enabled in 'devices: touchscreen' for proper operation.
Also disable on-screen controls if you wish.
? Set CPU governor to interactive and scheduler to deadline.
? If you want to enable navigation bar then uncomment the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the end of build.prop and restart. Further adjustments can be done with Xposed framework.

? Tincore - for allowing me to include his Keymapper and Quickflasher apps.
? pogodancer - for testing tons of kernels and porting other roms.
? skelton - without him none of my previous work would have been possible.

Many thanks for this, I picked up a 16GB version a couple of days ago and spent an age reading through the various pages of this forum checking out the pros and cons of each firmware, I'll give this a go once my device has recharged

The coordinates of touch points emulated by the stock mapper were inverted, at least that was the case on JB. I don't have sources for the stock mapper so I can't really tell why that happens.

First of all thanks for your work! =)
Is there a new loader or the old one? Can I reflash it from Pogodancer's KK ROM or it need to change loader to old?

Sry 4 my english, it's not native to me.

Thanks =)
One problem appeared: after flashing this ROM and swapping SD and NAND SD became inaccessible and NAND is 0 byte

@deformind - I couldn't get this option working even on the stock rom. I just did it the old-fashioned way by editing fstab.
@aikon - can you provide logcat output? I don't have access to wifi at the moment, but market worked fine for me.
I'll pull the download link for now, until it's sorted out.

@lujji Sure I'll help how I can, but not sure what you mean by logcat output (noob to all this). I just get a message "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later".

I've removed the wifi saved setting, rebooted and readded the wifi setting. Also tried the stock and Nova launchers. Unfortunately there is no other app that uses net access (as far as I am aware). My wifi signal is strong as well.

Ok, to make sure that wifi drivers are working correctly run this command in terminal:
ping google.comand see if you can reach destination host.
If it fails then try flashing the stock kernel with quickflasher. Place it in /mnt/sdcard/quickflasher/

But as it been spoofed as a nexus 7 , it now wont recognize it.

Check pm - I described the steps to obtain logcat output. If you wish to flash back then simply reinstall the drivers.
Unfortunately I don't have access to wifi at the moment so I can't test myself.

@Whitefoxuk - you can do the following: turn device off, hold down VolUp + Power keys and attach usb cable. If the drivers are installed, Batch Tool will detect a new device.

@everyone - I updated download link in the first post. Play market should work fine now - try it and report. Thank you for testing.
