Pipo M7 Pro RileyROM 2.7 KitKat

[magnosantos]

I must say 'm really enjoying the Tablet and the ROM. Very nice work RRileypm.

Is there any place for a wish list?

The things that i would like the most would be some improvements on the Stock Launcher (i changed to KK Launcher), and having some kind of immersive mode in Stock, but i guess that in future Pipo releases things will start to became more cosmetic refined.

[rrileypm]

Actually, there is a wish list thread in the Pipo section. But here is fine.

Pipo hasn't started enhancing the cosmetics of KK yet. We shall see what challenges those will pose for ROM development. I tend to remove that stuff for a lean clean efficient ROM. To me, its all about performance.

Create 2 files like these below and paste them in your device. Open Script Manager, with the file manager select the file, open as script, in the menu choose the star(fav) and the skulls(SU), save it and exit the Script Manager. Now on the launcher place a widget, select SM and your script's ON and OFF.


Script manager has a Terminal window and a file manager(as root), so if you have any of this you might uninstall them because this is a 3 in 1.


You may have to adapt this to your need's

I Added a delay before the reboot and it worked very well!
Thanks again Abdul!

Post the change you made or upload or files, maybe someone else want's it also.

What exactly is this script for?

What exactly is this script for?

For avoiding doing this.

I'm still on stock version. With the stock libril-rk29-dataonly.so the WCDMA/3G/2G signal is very good, strong and stable (in comparaison to the generic libril with deep sleep) and it switch between 2G/3G more easely. But no Deep sleep as you know. I have tried all combinaison... (freeze data mobile or other mobile app with Titanium Backup but I couldn't find the solution). SMS doesn't work.

As I prefer a strong WCDMA/3G signal, I prefer let the stock libril-rk29-dataonly.so. (root/system/lib)
When I don't need the 3G data I rename the libril-rk29-dataonly.so to libril-rk29-dataonly and reboot.
The Deep sleep works obviously. If I need the data I rename the libril-rk29-dataonly to libril-rk29-dataonly.so and reboot. I only need the data sometimes (but with good signal...) so this solution is the best for me.

stock libril-rk29-dataonly.so (from last stock Firmware) http://www.mediafire.com/download/p3...29-dataonly.so (133Ko)

Edit: now I'm using the last RileyROM (2.7) with the stock libril-rk29-dataonly.so
WCDMA signal is good/strong/stable as I expect. I have just test this feature and rename my libril-rk29-dataonly.so to libril-rk29-dataonly and reboot. Deep sleep is working normally.

Scripts to rename libril file and reboot the tablet

NP.
Post the change you made or upload or files, maybe someone else want's it also.

I tried to use the script that Abdul posted here, but I guess that the reboot run very fast and the time to rename isn`t enouth. So I tried to insert a line of delay before the reboot.
I`m not sure that the operation of delay is ok, but now the result of the script is completed. The libril file is renamed and after that the tablet reboot.

OFF.sh
Code:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv system/lib/libril-rk29-dataonly.so system/lib/libril-rk29-dataonly
delay 1000
reboot

ON.sh
Code:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv system/lib/libril-rk29-dataonly system/lib/libril-rk29-dataonly.so
delay 1000
reboot

Sorry for disturbing, but I think I've done it again... I've bricked my tablet...

Last time I ended opening the case and shorting the pins of the NAND. I have done the same now, the tablet is recognised by the Flash tool, but when I try to Erase NAND (IDB) it starts "Doing Lower format" and starts counting. It should get to 8192, but it always stops around 4000. When it stops it sounds like if the USB cable was disconnected but it is not a problem of the cable (I'm using two cables, the stock one and another one that works fine and both do the same).

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

How do I changer the Launcher?

Yes, I'm a newbie, that being said, quick question, How do I change the launcher... call me crazy but I like the Pipo Launcher... the updated one is very stable and I love the functionality of it.

[rrileypm]

As far as I know, Pipo hasn't included the new launcher...or any bloatware in their KK firmware...since technically it's still beta. I'm pretty sure the JB version won't work with KK.

[Aiz]

Sorry for disturbing, but I think I've done it again... I've bricked my tablet...

Solved! Just for the record, I tried shorting different pins until I found the good ones...

Randy: I have a question for you regarding the problem of my tablet with the wifi (it works for 5 minutes and then it stops). I've tried going back to 4.2.2 and it works fine. Then back again to 4.4.2 and the problem appears again.

What if I go to 4.2.2 and then we updating to 4.4.2 I do not tick the kernel in order to keep the same of the 4.2.2? Could that work? Can the RileyROM 2.7 work with the kernel of the 2.4?

Thanks

[rrileypm]

Sorry, the JB kernels won't run on KK ROM's. There's too much difference.

It's pretty odd that your tablet has the wifi freeze and others (including mine) don't. That's interesting.

There's no problem going back to 2.4, though...whatever works better on your tablet.

Please remember to follow the instructions about going back to JB....to prevent having to unbrick, AGAIN!!!!

Hi Matt,

I still have the wifi problems, do you?

I've been trying a few things but nothing has worked.

Hi yes unfortunately I do. I'm wondering if perhaps there's a hardware problem (some others I believe have moved the WiFi antennae or resoldered to avoid a short) but I don't remember any problems with earlier ROMs. I had streaming video so I would have noticed. I'm a bit reluctant to open the case...

[herrjemineh]

But these Problems are more found at the m9 pro model aren't they? I would avoid opening the tablet unless it's really important... especially when you are sure, that you haven't noticed this at jelly bean

[rrileypm]

Since wifi seems to work in JB but not in KK, I would place the blame on the firmware. There must be something in settings that your particular wifi chip can't handle. We've already tried everything I can imagine...so if the solution is going back to 2.4...have at it. The whole point is to make your tablet better with a custom ROM...not worse.

I, for one, am having a GREAT experience running this ROM on my tablet. So results may very, depending on whether you have a lucky tablet or not.
