is the overclock means more battery consumes?

[rrileypm]

Actually, increasing DDR doesn't consume that much more battery...but does significantly boot performance.

thanks

ah i just thought it was. coz back on on 1.9 with overclocked kernel battery consumes even when tablet is not in use rather than v1.5 with 1.6 kernel. but since this is 2.0 i want to observe it well for comparison.

Just installed it with the O/C 4.1 Kernel.Happy with the performance so far, touch screen seems more responsive and very quick all round and a slight improvment over 1.9 IMO, then only problem I have had with it so far is some apps are not working, i couldnt get Antutu or Quadrant to launch, and also my Animtated weather app wouldnt launch the weather animation. Keeping this rom though, Ty for this Riley and Balrog

I have just installed it as well though without an O/C kernel. Haven't had any problems yet including running Antutu. The Antutu score is virtually unchanged from 1.9. The GUI has slightly changed in that the notification/button bars at the top and bottom of the screen can be hidden and will return with a swipe up from the bottom. One weird thing is that in Settings -> Display, the resolution setting has disappeared. I always ran my M6 at the highest res but for those who preferred the lower res they may be disappointed.

Just an update, re-installed the rom with the O/C kernal and now no issues, excellent rom, best ive used so far ! )

[mat9v]

Is it KK rom or still good old one?

[rrileypm]

This ROM is still based on 4.2.2 firmware. It should be very stable.

My first impressions of the new ROM:

- the error of no deep sleep caused by libril-rk29-dataonly.so doesn't exist anymore. The tablet enters deep sleep correctly without renaming libril-rk29-dataonly.so.
- the new rom gives the ability to hide the navigation bar. This is awesome for reading e.g. comics.
- a Quick Boot option is available under settings-system. I activated it and rebooted 2-3 times but at my M6 the boot times are the same but this is no problem for me at all.
- the first time Antutu crashes at my M6 too. I have to uninstall and install it again from the playstore. After this a first quick test with kernel v4.1 gives 19003 points (wifi was off during the test).

Overall working with the M6 Max is smooth and fast with RileyROM 2.0. It is really a step forward (especially the option to hide the navbar without external tools is useful for me). Good work from Pipo and Riley.

Pay attention using quick boot: in reality the tabled doesn't go off, so this state drains battery.
I suggest you to DISABLE this option.
It is a sort of "hibernate". The M6pro with this function boots up in 20seconds... but for the reason above it is a completely USELESS function! It is not fast if you perform a reboot.

Have windows 8.1 cant install

I upgraded my windows to 8.1 now I cant install the rom to my tablet. tried the windows 8.1 thread with no help. anyone know what options I have? thanks

[Balrog]

@giouncino: You are right. I read a little bit into it and the "Quick Boot" is nothing else than converting the "real Shutdown" to kind of a "Hibernate" mode. It is no mode to boot quicker from ground up. So endeed it is pretty useless.

@kyprain: I have also problems to flash roms via windows 8.1 (flashmode from tablet is not recognized correctly). I use in my case another pc with Windows 7. This works very well without problems.
