I thought it would be worthwhile to get some more specific feedback about using Pipo Roms with Xposed Framework. I've heard others mention using some of the modules, but not specifically how stable things were, and which features and modules they were using. I have a Pipo M6Pro with Riley Rom 1.8 Kitkat, but I hope to hear from users of Other Pipo Models as well. I don't think the functionality of their firmware varies that much from model to model.
Randy has done a great job at getting the Chinese based Rom usable and stable for us, but there are still a few things I miss from using KitKat on other devices. It doesn't look like Pipo is in any big hurry to release further updates for some devices (the M6Pro is what I have), so I was looking to Xposed Framework to get some of the features back.
Here are the four things I have tried unsuccessfully to add with Xposed Modules so far. I have gotten all of them to work, but after a period of time (hours or days) will start getting black screens, or reboots, or or SOD's using them. When I remove all modules and the Xposed Installer, my stability comes back. The module that had the most of what I wanted was Gravity Box [KK], though I have experimented with a few others, also leading to stability issues.
1. Change the battery indicator to Circle with text. I used the Gravity Box module for this.
2. Added a Ram indicator to Recents , again Gravity box.
3. Modify the long press soft key for recents to go to the previous app. Very useful when you have a password program and need to move quickly back and forth between it and a browser.
4. Add an app to the "ring" that appears when you long press the home button. The only thing there now is Google. Gravity box again.
Some ROMS for other devices have these features already cooked in, but it doesn't look like Pipo does that, so the functionality will have to come from elsewhere, I guess.
All these work initially, but the tablet tends to get less and less stable over time using them.
Do you use Xposed Framework with Pipo / Riley Roms?
What modules and features work for you?
Does the tablet remain stable after a few days?
Edit: added the fourth item.
