MK809iii clone RAM issue... - Android Stick & Console Computers General

Hello. I recently bought a MK809iii clone (GT318) but after ROM update it loses 1GB RAM of its 2GB default ...
The new ROM told me I have 2GB RAM installed, but it's restricted to 1GB as usable RAM.
Is there a way to remove that restriction to get back my 2GB RAM fully usable?
Greetings.

you've found a fix ? thanks you

Nope ... do you have the same problem?

yea, i guess it's a problem of the rom/kernel... i'm running this rom : http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....m-MK809III-Version-3-1-Android-4-4-2-*Update* with the included kernel
not sure

Yes, i'm using that ROM too (Neomode 3.1 KitKat) but also tried other roms (+10... including similar ones) and none of them can't get the 2GB default ram ...
I guess it's kernel problem since default kernel gave me back full 2gb ram... but default kernel sucks !

can you use more than 1GB with stock kernel ? because maybe the kernel is hacked to show 2GB but there only 1GB.. ?

Mhhh... I didn't tried to full ram yet, but why "CPU Device Identifier" app is telling me that I have "2GB installed ram and 1024MB usable" on neomode's rom ???

i don't know, but do you remember about those fake USB stick and SDcard labelled as higher space storage (for exemple the OS see 16GB, but you can use only 4gb) ? maybe it's the same
i'm too lazy to reflash stock rom to try it

+1 ... the only way I found to gain more ram was by enabling ZRAM to 512MB... so I got 1024+512MB but I guess isn't the same performance when using real ram ...

ok, my board have 4 chip nt5cb256m8bn-cg, so i've bought one 1GB ... advertised as 2GB... rip off

they scammed me TWICE , once for the 3188T instead of the 3188 and now 1GB instead of 2GB, all on the same key.

Is it the "quad cord" one? LOL I bought it today without knowing these issues, why did you flashed to a different ROM? is there any functional issues with the stock one?

stock rom was lagging AS HELL when playing 720p/1080P movies and it was the old android 4.2 :S
now i have android 4.4 and also movies play very smooth (for a x264 720P, my load average is only 1.20 of 4.00while my cpu run between 300 and 800mhz)
i had to underclock to 1.2GHZ (stock freq was 1.4ghz) because otherwise the key was random rebooting, i think it was rom problem, not 100% sure. anyway 200mhz don't matter in performances!
awesome little key

MK809III exist in multiples versions (cpu and wifi chipset can change), if you flash a rom for the other wifi chipset, the rom will run but your wifi will not work.
i have the Wifi chip Ap6210 so i use this rom : http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....m-MK809III-Version-3-1-Android-4-4-2-*Update* (it's probably the best forum about android hdmi keys, xda forum about hdmi key seem pretty much abandoned.. )
flash is pretty easy, you download the rom you launch RKAndroidTool.Exe (included in the zip), plug the hdmi stick to your computer (you need to have the drivers installed, they are in the /drivers folder of the zip), you press the button "RUN" and you're done!
there probably few others roms and guides avaiable over internet

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

So I flashed my device last night with the ROM that turlulu linked here. It works very smooth I could watch some anime videos encoded with 10bit, I could also noticed that the WiFi is more stable now, BUT though it didn't stop working at a moment it "slowed down" I had to disable and enable it again to get it back to normal. Which app are you using to see how much RAM do you have? I installed CPU-Z and even with this ROM it shows 2GB I opened the stick and found this
i.imgur.com/QKHj9L4.jpg
I googled it but I couldn't find any detailed information about this chip, though my processor is RK3188T @ 1.4Ghz

you can see the ram in android settings, also i din't tried much Wi-Fi
ho, and i use MX player pro (only apk, i've not installed additionnal codecs ), it work very well i can read all my videos without issues, people tell that it's the best, but i din't tried other players.
i use nova launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en
because it support icons pack, but there other launchers which support icons pack
and this awesome icon pack : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.miroex&hl=en
installing this is very much required

Hey @wichoxp i came from the future haha, did you found a solution to the ram issue? I have 2GB but it just shows 1GB. I don't know what to do. I thought this problem was because the parameter files but no.

@bloodlithium I'm pretty sure that these "quad-cord" devices are only 1GB RAM... original (factory) rom fakes RAM size to 2GB. I'm really not worried about this, my device is fast with 1GB. Also kitkat 4.4.2 rom supports ZRAM so I got +500MB when enabling it. So I have 1.5GB RAM actually !

Thanks for response @wichoxp Yes, i was reading something about this "fake ram". What a thieves... haha, anyway i will do the Zram improvement that you mention and that's all. The only problem is the overheating even with the processor in 1,2 ghz. I will still optimizing i think. Greetings and thanks a lot.

You need to realize that you can use all of the given ram since some of it is towards other things in the phone

[ROM] Lolfisch v1.0 for the Jiayu G3N

Welcome to my thread for the Jiayu G3N, the new release of the G3 with the s501 chip.
I have ported GThrill ROM v3.0 to the G3N.
GThrill is based on Cyanogenmod 10. It is Jelly bean 4.1.2. There is currently no theme support, but I'll look into that in future builds.
Details of the GThrill ROM can be found here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163707
This ROM should have all the features of the official ROM, (and more!) the only changes are behind-the-scenes.
Features
- based on "CM10"
- Jellybean 4.1.2
- system/framework zipaligned
- init.d support
- zipalign on the fly (script by Wes Garner)
- slim and light: removed unwanted apps
- host file (to block known ad servers/hosts)
- some build.prop tweaks from different sources
- contains some lines from V6 supercharger script (by zeppelinrox, particularly kernel tweaks)
- Jellybean Keyboard (SWIPE feature)
- Google Chrome browser (bundled stock browser FCs)
- Language: English, French, Chinese, German,
Confirmed working;
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
Yet to be tested;
FM Radio
Known bugs;
Front camera is dark and seems to take dark pictures. Setting the mode to night and then back again fixed this. Bizzarely, the front camera seems to be taking 3MP images although it only has a 2MP sensor. I am looking into this. It looks like the camera software has been ported from an Amoi N820, which has a 3MP front facing camera.
With regards to overclocking and undervolting, I have not heard of any kernels for any MT6577 devices that have offered this. And I'm sure better men than me have tried!
If there is another G3 ROM that you'd like to see ported, or improvements you'd like to see made on this ROM, leave comments below
If your language is not supported, install morelocale from the Play store. You can use it to select any language you wish!
Disclaimer: As with things XDA, you do all these things entirely at your own risk, I am not responsible EVEN IF Kim Jong Un flashes this, it breaks his G3N and in a fit of rage, he declares nuclear war on everyone.
Install instructions:
First, get root and install clockworkmod following the guide here; http://www.modaco.com/topic/359590-...very-ics-spell-check-fixed-jelly-bean-update/
Then place the zip file on your SD cart, boot into recovery and install!
Flashable zip, install via the recovery of your choice. Confirmed working on CWM. This is a full ROM, not a patch.
Remember to backup your files and previous ROM!
You shouldn't need to do a full wipe if going from a 4.1.2 ROM to this, but I recommend that you do. (I didn't )
If going from a 4.04 ROM to this, you MUST do a factory reset in CWM, otherwise it won't boot.
Please don't mirror my files!
Enjoy
EDIT 14/04/2013 Lolfisch v1.1 released!
Changelog;
-Numerous build.prop tweaks to improve browsing speeds, performance and to remove USB debugging icon (USB debugging can still be enabled in settings)
-Fixed LED wakelock issue. Deep sleep mode now works, improving battery life. (Thanks to evirus for his help)
-Fixed Clock app by replacing it with 4.2 clock. If you're still getting forced close's when trying to set an alarm, clear the app's data.
-Fixed Handcent SMS incompatibility
-Updated 4.2 keyboard using a Nexus 4 ROM. Runs smoother now.
-Updated Calendar app to the one from the play store. Now the app will update automatically as it is linked to the play store

Flashable zip, install via the recovery of your choice. Confirmed working on CWM & TWRP recoveries. This is a full ROM, not a patch.

Glad to hear good feedback on the whole. I plan to replace the clock with the 4.2.2 clock at some point (I have university exams in just over a week but will do it straight after that
clock is not a biggie..you can always download Alarm Clock+, 100% better than stock..camera seems better than stock..must be placebo, but still..
EDIT: flashed this through TWRP..kinda sad to think that this one's too good, I don't think a rom could get smoother..oh yeah, Theme Support please!

Interesting, I got a score of 5659 on Antutu. Probably SD card write speeds, I guess.
I'm going to try and improve performance further by making sure V6 supercharger is implemented properly and porting thunderzap kernel if a jelly bean version is released.
The mt6577 has been reported as being overclockable to speeds of 1.4ghz. That would be an amazing performance boost! But we need source code for that, so it is quite unlikely.

as for the scores, I got a class 4 microsd..
and for the kernel sources, we do have one for ICS..not quite why mediatek/jiayu haven't released them yet..
thanks for the rom, and Goodluck on the exams!
EDIT: Thudeezap is a custom kernel which allows OC and other tweaks, but ICS only..I wonder: OC ICS vs stock kernel JB, performance-wise, which is better?

Yeah, thunderzap is the thing you sent me, silly
I would definitely recommend Jelly Bean over ICS, even with overclock. The UI is nicer, you get Google Now, plus with project butter, you get better performance/battery drain. I'm loving this ROM's speed, plays HD videos with no lag . If you want it to run faster, you can chance the CPU governor to performance to ensure the phone is always running at max frequency. If you do, I'd recommend a tasker setup to change this when you turn the screen off. I'm currently running ondemand with screen on and powersave with screen off.

Wakelock bug was reported to me yesterday. I thought it was fixed in Gthrill but apparently not. However, thanks to evirus, I've been able to fix the issue for our ROM. See the first post for a .zip file that patches the issue on both G3&G3N versions of Gthrill

I'm not sure how kernels work but I'm pretty sure that the governor is not core specific. That's why you cant set core 1. However, I'm not sure if taker is having any effect on the CPU at all ATM!

tasker somehow works..I checked using CPU spy, frequency and governor are applied, but only one core works via SystemPanel app..so I still use tasker for "screen off" event, so I can have single core locked down at 250mhz when screen is off..

One strange thing (G3N, stock rom ics 4.0):
if I press/hold the VOL- button (+ the power button) I boot into "factory mode"
then, I can go up and down highlihting a few choices BUT can't select any, because only vol buttons seem to work
(no button seem to act as "enter" to activate the "selected" choice.
Any idea?
Thanks again!

Best way to optimize my G3 1 gb ram? SUPER SLOW...

Hi, i'm just new with this phone, I tought 1 gb ram and 8 gb were fine, but I just updated to 6.0 the first time I turned on the phone, and it is TOOO slow...
Someone with experience, can giveme tips?
(Best room, kernel, wtv, to make my phone smooth)
I KNOW I can read all the entire blog, but...
I don't know any rom for this phone, or whatever, so I want a direct answer to my problem, from someone experimented.
Factory default... That would be my first recommendation, even though it seems like you just got it.

best android 10 rom?

i've tested several roms and really the best one is Klaxo, but my wifi connection slows down a lot if i get i little far from the router and it's so annoying.
>>>ALL<<< J6 roms based random reboots my phone when i play games while charging (not recommended i know)
and astrako roms doesn't show my wifi router.
so... do you guys know a good rom for games/perfomance in general for android 10?
(quick note: all TRR roms have the same issue as the klaxo one. on my phone at least)
