Hello,
I am trying out various ICS builds on my P7510 and noticed that every version I have tried (CM9 and AOKP) is outputting to my HD TV in 720p. In Honeycomb (Stock and GalaxyTask 14) it output to my HD TV in 1080p.
Is there a reason my tab in ICS seems to only output in 720p only. I have the official HDMI adapter and my TV supports 1080p.
I have searched Google and searched XDA but cannot find any answers.
Am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks,
Graham.
Hi,
I have a rooted android tablet with a Mini-HDMI port, supporting output resolutions of 1920x1080, 1280x720, 800x600.
I would like to use the tablet with a video projector, however the projector will only accept precise input of 1024x768. Is there any way of modifying the tablets system to allow for alternate output settings?
Kind regards,
MikusP

M8 has a very good performance, unfortunately the firmware is not always stable, and there still quite a few issues that needs to be fix.
PROS
Smooth and fast firmware.
Android 4.4 Kitkat
XBMC 13 pre-installed
Blu-Ray ISO and 4K video playback
1080p user interface
4K video output up to 30 fps supported
Good Ethernet performance (60 Mbps video playback OK)
Good video formats/codecs support
USB webcam works with Skype and Google Hangouts
HDMI CEC support
CONS
Stability problems. Not catastrophic, but the device may still hang a few times. Could it be temperature related?
Bluetooth not working.
Poor Wi-Fi performance.
Can’t install paid apps via Google Play.
Sometimes non-optimal user’s experience:
Need to switch between XBMC and MX Player depending on video files
Multiple input devices required, e.g. if you use an air mouse, you still need to access the IR remote to put the device into Standby.
Bluetooth not available from default settings menu
Only Chinese cities available for weather
H.265 not working smoothly (frames skipped). Probably not fixable (not supported by hardware, and GPGPU not supported by Mali-450)
DTS, Dolby, AC3 not supported by hardware, but software decoded in XBMC (Can’t be fixed, SoC related)
MX III 4 stars. Did not have all apps loaded as i thought. But over-all really superior
PROS
Nice android devicea bit weak on 1080P streaming.
Works great with addition of Rii wifi keyboard and Solo Loader
This is a dream for KODI/XBMC users who have grown tired of using their computer hooked up to their tv for streaming like I was
No complaints here!
Good android tv box
Great but not too polished yet.
CONS
Cheap Network Components Really Hold this Thing Back
my old mk919 (which is obsolete now) delivers more consistent
ditto

Al of these cons you listed for the M8 apply to the MXIII in my experience (I have an MXIII). I have better playback experience using MX Player w/ ARM v7 Neon codecs (HW+ decoding) for 1080p and 10-bit H.264 (yes, I watch anime).
In other words, these boxes seem almost exactly comparable (they may have the exact same hardware).
both of these boxes have since been updated to the Amlogic S812 processor M8S & the MXiii plus
the M8S has also another model now available in the M8S+ with 1 gb lan port and running android 5.1.1.
I have the M8S+ and can say its a great improvement on its predecessor.
worth looking at if your thinking about buying an M8S or MXiii

I have à m8s+ box but where do you find the 5.1 firmware ?

How to update MXIII to Android 5.1 or Custom ROM
I have Amlogix MXIII 4K TV BOX running Android 4.4.2, it sometimes does not turn on properly and gets stuck at MXBOX logo and keeps loading, I have to take out power and put it back multiple times before it loads to home screen, is there anyway to fix this or update this box to a custom file or android 5.1 for better performance ?
Hello my friends,
I've an mxiii 2g/8g bricked, no hdmi signal, red light only..
I've manage to bring it to this after a half booting by a power line failure, and then only the red light was on...

Any thoughts?
Thanks

The Team DevDigitel universal ROM could quite likely work, since it is for any Amlogic S8xx.
Assuming that you have backups etc, you could try the way I successfully upgraded my S812 box.
If you do, make sure you let us know how it went
I just bought the official Smasung usbc-hdmi adapter for use with my Galaxy Note 8. I am looking for a way to set the output resolution since it goes to max by default and since my TV is 4k and i get 25 with this adapter (hdmi restriction via usb due to rights) i am looking to set the resolution to something lower. I would also appreciate a setting where picture is only shown through my TV and does not play on my mobile as well. Its distracting and a waste of energy as well
Hi all,
I recently purchased a Tab S7+, but to say the least, I am very disappointed that my UHD sub of Netflix doesn't allow 4K playback due to resolution mismatch of the device.
I want to access what I have paid for because 1080p looks a lot worse than 4K downsampled to the Tab's very high resolution screen.
I have been searching everywhere for a simple solution and the only thing I found is connecting the tab to a PC and then to use an ADB command to make the entire Tablet's resolution 4K, which would be fine if that didn't act as a battery hog at all time even when I am not using Netflix.
So I am wondering if there's perhaps a simpler soultion around, like for example I want to know if I can increase the resolution of the tablet via the tablet itself (maybe via Terminal and whatnot) so that once I am done with watching Netflix in 4K, I can reset the resolution back to its original state on the tablet itself?
Would greatly appreciate any input regarding this issue.
