Thank you Riley, but I made several enhancements using Xposed, Viper4Android and changed shell into Google GEL. I think that Titanium will not suffice to my needs. I prefer a complete Nandroid backup.
Problem is: what to restore next? Don't want to mess up with IMEI or bootloader...

[rrileypm]

If you read the First Time User's Guide, I have explained in detail how to backup the IMEI number.

All of those other tweaks may not be necessary in this ROM. If you feel you need them, then you can run them later.

[doctorwho]

OK. Rom boots very well. Logo is nice
UPDATE: TWRP 2.5.0.0 Nandroid restore worked well, I can return to previous state in any moment. Only difference is Riley logo for few seconds, prior to Pipo one.

[rrileypm]

Realize that when you do a NAND restore, all you are doing is putting the last ROM back over the ROM you just flashed.

It defeats the purpose of flashing the custom ROM.

That's why I only restore apps and app data with Titanium.

[doctorwho]

That is obvious. Perhaps there was a misundertanding, my purpose in this moment was to try your rom without lose anything of my setup. Just in case something went wrong.

[rrileypm]

OK, I understand.

I'm glad it boots OK. My first try at this tablet caused Geekbuying to brick one of their test tablets. I knew what to fix, though.

I'm slowly starting to get these MTK ROM's cooking as stable as my RK ROM's.

Click root on mtk droid tools then goto the second tab. One of the options will make and flash cwm recovery from your tab.

Thanks chief. I was able to install the cwm using mtkdroid tool as u suggested. Could u kindly let me knw if its possible to completely remove any evidence of rooting frm d device using framaroot or any oda way. If it may b too tedious and time consuming fr u to explain, I would appreciate links to follow either on this site or else where cos I cnt seem to find it here. Thanks in anticipation. Have a lovely wkend ahead.

Glad you worked it out. Well done.With the official Pipo plastic case (which I like a lot) there's some kind of mechanism that makes the tab sleep when the case is fully closed. You can buy them separately. I don't know how the sleep mechanism works, but I suppose your leather case is triggering it when you move it around. It might be possible to modify your case, if someone knows how how this mechanism works(?).For casing, I use the official case, and put tablet and case inside a 9" soft neoprene pocket to protect against bumps during transport.

@ytheleus. Thanks fr d response. Yes I also bought my pipo t9 together with d official pipo plastic case which is what I am using. it does put d tab into sleep mode wen one closes the lid of d case. I use the screen lock pattern on my tab. I guess wen eva I disable d screen lock it wouldn't give me that. probem

Best way would be to flash the original ROM. An alternative would be to use a cwm update. I posted a tutorial on rooting KitKat, if you look at this it will take you through taking apart a cwmupdate that will root. In the script that is reviewed are a group of lines that do the deletion. With a bit of effort you should be able to modify it to just remove the root files.

Thanks Riley. Just wanna say a big heartfelt thank you for all ur selfless efforts. This site is a treasure chest indeed and more so for me (since I am the only owner of a pipo device I know of where I am located. Kinda feeling lonely and isolated u know). Though I am yet to flash ur custom rom and try it out, I just want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to u and all d oda developers and members of this site fr d support given. Will consider making a donation to further our cause. .Gracias!!! Obrigado!!! One love bro.

Ohk chief 900Supersport. Appreciate ur prompt response. Will try and look fr d guide once more. More grease to ur elbow.

Sorry, cross posted in error please ignore.

Are you still on my ROM. A quick Google search brings up people getting that message if not rooted.

[rrileypm]

One observation I have from flashing my iFive MTK tablet is that you don't loose your current configuration if you use the download button on the flash tool. The user partition remains the same, and data isn't lost.

I'm working on a way to change the size of the user partition to make more room for apps. 900Supersport has a process, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Stay tuned for that new feature.

Any feedback on my ROM's performance would be great.

[ytheleus]

Riley. Thanks for releasing this.

Two questions.
1) What features do you have in mind to possibly add in future?
Just wanting to know a general direction of travel. The only thing I can think of that's obviously missing from my modified stock setup (rooted, some bloat removed, Viper replacing sound drivers and effects, better launcher, busybox) is a way to mess with the processor clocks to reduce idle clock speed. If there's a way to increase the top end clock that would be nice too. Not sure if the stock kernel will allow this anyway.

2) Have you considered releasing your ROMs in flashable recovery zip format? Updating then becomes a simple matter of downloading a file straight onto the tab, rebooting into recovery (eg TWRP, CWM) and just flashing the update. No PC or cables required unless it goes badly wrong. This would make it simpler to install development updates, for me at least. There are programs that help to automate this eg zipme.

Also, I think whatever you do, performance will seem OK. There's stacks of reserve power.
