[Pipo Project] M9 Pro ROM testing

[rrileypm]

I'm starting this thread to separate discussion of the ROM development and Stevejc's kernel testing. It appears we are overlapping discussions and it's a little confusing.

This thread is for comments related to testing of the FreaktabROM.

Here's a rundown of the progress:

v1.0 Wouldn't boot
v1.0.1 booted fine, so I proceeded with more changes.
v1.0.2 Adds multi-user support and fixes the Navigation Bar.
v1.0.3 Adds NetworkLocation.apk and updates SuperSU.

So...you are saying the ROM booted?

So...you are saying the ROM booted?

V 1.0.1 Loading excellent

[rrileypm]

Great!!!! That's what I like to hear.

I can make that change...no problem...now that we have a working ROM.

But, It's midnight here and I'm done for the night. I've been messing around with trying to get this ROM to boot on my M7 Pro, and It flat won't boot. Every other ROM I've done for the M9 Pro booted just fine on it. So I'm glad we now have some progress.

This will serve as the base ROM for Stevejc's new kernels.

I will upload v1.0.2 tomorrow with the UI fix.

In the meantime, please report any other issues that need to be addressed.

Does Multi-user work? If not, I'll fix that.

Multi-user not work!
It is not even in the settings menu

[rrileypm]

OK, that's a simple fix. I left the edit out to see if we could get a booting ROM. Now, I can add that tweak safely.

Thanks for testing.

I will try to post a new version on Sunday.

[rrileypm]

OK, I changed my mind and added those changes real quick because I don't know if I can get back to this on Sunday...I've been working for a few days and need to spend some family time.

So I added v1.0.2 to post #1 fixing multi-user and adding the Nav Bar tweak mentioned above by bucefal82 (thank you sir for the suggestion).

flashed v1.0.2 all fine...nice boot animation randy!

I still feel the tablet lags a bit when pressing the back button

I can't test gps right now, but wifi / mobile network location doesn't work. It's only me?

HDMI	Ok (Tested Full HD/60Hz)
Audio/Video	Ok. Video and audio synchronized , no perceived delay. Even with online streamed content.

[rrileypm]

Thanks for the report. We will have to do some digging to find that Network Location problem.

[bucefal82]

Fix NetworkLocation

Thanks for the report. We will have to do some digging to find that Network Location problem.

It looks like the file is missing NetworkLocation.apk

Here's a patch to install through TWRP

[rrileypm]

I found that this system.img isn't as polished as the previous ones...but at least it contains the exchange services...which was missing in previous stock images.

I will put together a v1.0.3 with that fix...and update the superuser. It appears that my RK3188 kitchen is a little out of date. I've moved on to RK3288 and MTK ROM's and forgot to update superuser in my RK3188 files.

I don't want to sound rude but what's the point to flash more rom's? I am coming from RR3.0.1 and it was fine. The major problem I see with the m9pro is the lagging issue which still persists in this rom.
