Can you please upload the iso again. I am getting an error on winzip about 45 seconds into unzipping. Thanks for the iso, this will be great if it will work on my pipo.

Great stuff. And you got the Play Store pre-installed which is much better than the official X7S. Does the wireless work on Pipo X7? Would it even work on Windows tablet?

I've just checked by downloading and uncompressing it and do not have any problem. Maybe your download got corrupted and you need to re-download? And just FYI I use 7zip on Windows from http://www.7-zip.org/ to uncompress files.

Unfortunately I don't have a Pipo X7 so I need someone else to test and reply on their findings.

It does boot on pipo x7. I will have to play with it tomorrow. Thanks

Has anyone gotten the Play store working on the X7S yet? Ive been trying here and there for the past few days with no luck so far.

Is Playstore preinstalled on the stock Android Rom?

I read that it's not pre-installed, and don't have root yet

No its not preinstalled, its basically useless unless you sideload apps with adb which is not a viable solution for most. Since geekbuying failed to bring this to the attention of pre-order buyers I opened a claim with paypal to get my $ back for the one I received.

I just got my X7S today and it has the Playstore installed.

What a mess, I emailed them a week and a half ago trying to get a working firmware and their responses were less then adequate. I had heard due to legal reasons that microsoft doesnt allow other app stores to be preinstalled on the same device as a windows 8.1 w/ bing license so not sure if shipping with playstore is good or bad news for buyers but at least its no longer half assed.

Geekbuying shared new firmware:

No clue how to install (yet). From PIPO i only got the Gapps (which you can't install due to no root).

[rfwagner]

They have this file http://www.mediafire.com/view/g85d84...ade_Method.doc but I don't understand what they mean by U disk (is the USB pendrive?)

And this Gapps, maybe if you can ask to geekbuying if they can provide info about install it?

[no_spam_for_me]

I think "U disk" means any kind of USB storage device. At the doc (http://www.mediafire.com/view/g85d84...ade_Method.doc) they use a SanDisk USB pen.
What I don't understand, is it the win8 only (seems so), or also the android (doesn't seems so), and why do you have to (start) install the win from running Android????
