This ROM is:

Debloated

The notification bar also cannot be expanded nor showing notifications(except for clock,date,wifi & mobile signal). is it only me facing this problems?

Pipo M8 Max 3066 RileyROM 1.0 (both wifi and 3g)

Some of the problem I'm having with these Pipo ROMS is knowing what I can safely remove without breaking functionality.

In this case, I have encountered a problem with removing the initial Provision.apk. I was trying to keep this long black screen from showing up. However when I test this on my M8 Pro, it disables the home button...so I think that maybe I removed this on the M8 Max.

I will put it back and see if that solves the problem, but it will be tomorrow. I'm working today, sorry.

It's ok Randy. Just take your time. But I can't wait for your magic. hehe... One more thing, I can't seem to put any screen lock at all. Not even slide nor pin lock screen. Hope the notification bar issue can be solved as well.

It is all tied to the same thing. I'll fix that.

I had the fix all ready to upload this morning...but the server went down.

After work....I will upload the fix. This is for the wifi version. I didn't remove that app from the 3g version...so it should work fine.

But Randy the version I'm using is the 3g version. Can you please upload the fix for 3g version as well? By the way, is the firmware using the latest version provided by pipo which dated on April something?

[rrileypm]

Re: Pipo M8 Max 3066 RileyROM 1.0 (both wifi and 3g)

I will double check that 3g version.

Yes the ROM is based on that last update from Pipo.

I have just uploaded version 1.0a for both wifi and 3g versions of this ROM. Just go to post #1 and go to the download page. This links are now updated.

I basically started from scratch with the system.img file and left in the crucial apps that make everything work right.

Thanks to everyone who has tested this ROM, and brought the problems to my attention.

Since I don't have an M8 Max to test, please flash this ROM and let me know how it works for you.

As far as requests for more features, I'm working on learning how to implement the Gameloft fix. That will be my next addition...and it will be in version 1.1. If you have any further requests, just post here.

Some of you have sent me PM's...which I don't mind, but for the benefit of everyone, just make a post here and I will actually see it quicker than in a PM and everyone will see what we are talking about. I loose track of what people say in PM's vs Threads...so It is just easier to post on this thread.

Issues with version 1.0a (3g version)

Dear Randy, there are some serious issues with the latest rom (3g version). I found out that wireless and bluetooth not working at all. Everytime I tried to switch on wifi, it will just turn back off automatically straight away without even scanning. So it is not possible to turn on wifi even when I tried using widget. The same goes to bluetooth as well. Though 3g data working perfectly fine. Hope you can fix these issues as I am using wifi quite often than 3g connection. Otherwise, this time the rom almost perfect.

edit : Portable hotspot also showing error.

Re: Pipo M8 Max 3066 RileyROM 1.0 (both wifi and 3g)

I'm afraid that problem must be in the firmware I can do some checking.

Did you have the problem with the stock ROM?

Does anyone else experience this?

Wifi and Bluetooth problems

For the latest stock ROM dated April, I didn't face any problem at all for the wifi and bluetooth connections. Same goes to the previous stock ROM also.

Anybody out there facing this problem using RileyROM 1.0a(3g version)???

[rrileypm]

OK, I'm going to do a repack...yet again of the 3G version...this time, I'll have two packages...the February version and the April version with no debloat...just root and the other features. We will see if that works.

Issues confirm with 3g version

Randy, I just redownload and reflash the 1.0a 3g version but still the problems persist.
So, I'm back with the previous 1.0 version since wifi working fine.
Can't wait for the repack version though.
