The UG802 is a new dual core android tv hdmi dongle.
It contains the Rockchip rk3066 dual core arm cortex a9 SOC
Specs:
1.2ghz(limited by kernel, but soc is capable of 1.6ghz)
1gb ram
4gb nand storage
wifi b/g/n
micro-sd
micro-usb for power
hdmi 1.4 male connecter
full size usb host
The first time I ran antutu I scored a 6801, second time I scored a 6821.
Since then I've installed a ton of apps and my latest score is 6532.
The performance of it is incredible. It's the best dongle on the market so far....

I rooted my device using the info from here:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/34442-root-window-n90-dual-core-ii-how-to-root/
Superoneclick did complain and say my device was already rooted, but I had previously checked with root checker and it had said it wasn’t.
how's the shutdown process? is it possible to reboot?
ReplyDeleteIf you use the quickboot app from the play store it is possible to reboot.
ReplyDeleteIf you choose shutdown it still reboots.

DeleteI don't seem to have a 'System' folder. Any hints?
ReplyDeleteAre you rooted?
DeleteIf so you can get to your /system folder by installing ES Explorer and go into it's settings.
Near the bottom of the list is "Root settings".
Inside that make sure you check the boxes for:
Root Explorer
Up to Root
Mount File System
Then you should be able to get up to / and go into system. I used ftp to transfer my files, but you can easily use a micro sd card if you have it(/mnt/external_sd/).
Again make sure that the permissions on the new file are the same as on the old file.
Thank you deadhp1. All good now. I have added to the above instructions so noobs like me don't have to ask silly questions.

HELP... need root. How do you connect the device to your PC? Mini usb cable to PC does not detect devise. Fallowed instructions but Moborobo does not detect it? Any tips for getting the drivers to install.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have your ug802 plugged into your computer, also have the hdmi plugged into a tv so you can change a setting.
ReplyDeleteFirst off make sure that USB Debugging is on.
(goto apps and then goto the normal android settings screen)
Second go back to the home screen and use the Settings tab. Click on Advance Setting and then click on USB Connection. It will connect to your computer.
Back on your computer restart the Moborobo application. This time it should detect and ask to install unsigned drivers. Choose yes.
Eventually it will goto the Moborobo screen and detect your device model as rk30sdk.
Hope that helped!
i used your framework.jar file on the 0903 firmware and it worked great for the play store. i suddenly could find apps like netflix which weren't there before. new problem is that in netflix most videos wont play now. files i have already played sometimes play, other times not, and new videos i havent played yet wont play at all. i just get error 0040 cannot connect to server error. any ideas deadhp1?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're running into the wifi problem that's in firmware from 8/29/12 and 9/3/12
ReplyDeleteI only have this firmware on one of my UG802's and if too suffers from wifi problems...including netflix and crackle not being able to play properly.
We just have to wait for a newer firmware that fixes wifi. For now I'm using a usb ethernet adapter on it. It works very well for that.
@deadhp1: Thanks for all...but one question: After I rooted and fix the Play Store (works great), it seems that the Flash Player doesn't work anymore. I tested it with the original browser, all Plug Ins allowed and also in Desktop Mode. Can You please test on your device? Any hints for me?
ReplyDeleteFlash wasn't working properly for me until I uninstalled the included version and installed the latest apk from adobe
ReplyDeletehttp://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_versions
Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.17)
Make sure you uninstall the old flash version first, otherwise the new one won't install properly.
This actually happens on a lot of chinese android devices. Flash is included, and it works...somewhat. It's much better after removal and update.
it is possible to install a Google TV Apps?
ReplyDeletelike this:

The ug802 doesn't run Google TV. It runs Android 4.0.4 ICS. So Google TV application won't run on it.
DeleteIt is possible to install Droidmote Server.
How is web browsing with this device? MK802 is very sluggish to me.
ReplyDeleteWeb browsing is actually quite quick.
ReplyDeleteHowever recently new UG802 units have had quirky wifi. It is unknown if this is a hardware defect or a software problem.
What I can say is that my sample units with the older unavailable firmware do not suffer from this at all. A sample unit that has been updated to newer firmware is having slight wifi problems.
Also some ug802 come with different a wifi board and antenna. It is still based on the rlt8188eus.
deadhp1,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I wanted to say thanks for all your posting all over the interwebs about this device! You seem to be the defacto expert and go to guy regarding the 802.
My first question (of many, I'm sure) is where do we go hunting for new firmwares?
Thanks again for all your help!!
I've been unable to delete the framework.jar file (or rename it) I.m using the moborobo file manager via my pc. Is there something I'm missing?
ReplyDeleteTo fix the Play Store you can use Market Enabler when you're rooted(with busybox) it's as easy as pressing a button and you don't need to go all technical.
ReplyDeletei even bought an apps and it's working fine
ReplyDeleteHi, I followed the directions to enable the market but something went wrong. Now I am getting "Unfortunately, the process.android.phone" has stopped" followed by "Launcher has stopped". I keep getting these errors are unable to access anything. Is there any way to recover from this... Any help would be welcome...
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is having problems with the UG802 I have opened a forum devoted to android tv sticks.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/index.php
I've also made several rooted and play store fixed roms.
Enjoy!
Deadph1 can you help me with fixing a corrupt frameork.jar file. My UG802 boots but shows process.android.phone and launcher errors. I keep getting these pop-ups and i am unable to do anything else. I am not able to even reflash via sd card method.
ReplyDeleteAny help would be greatly appreciated.
The thing that you offer is worth our case and force.
