Pipo M8HD RileyROM 1.9 KitKat

[rrileypm]

This ROM is based on the original Pipo firmware dated 6.6.14...it's the same firmware as v1.8, but is a fresh RileyROM build without the changes made by Edge Xuan.

This ROM contains fixes for Exchange and Gmail. The last few Pipo firmware versions contain the JB Gapps, and they have to be switched to the correct KK versions.

This firmware did have the LatinIME.apk in it, so the default keyboard problem should be solved.

Also, I'm hoping the auto install feature will actually flash the version of TWRP recovery I have embedded in the preinstall folder of the system.

Otherwise, this ROM has the usual RileyROM features:

Root with SuperSU
Debloat
Added init.d support with busybox commands
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 or 12gb user app space (You are in Command of what size you want the partition to be)
English default
Google Play Store fixes added
TWRP recovery installed after first boot, by Abdul_pt
Auto Install feature added, to automatically load apk's from your "autoinstall" external SD folder
Reboot app by Petrus
New boot animation by me
First Time User's Guide for installation instructions

The ROM kit also includes the RKBatchTool as an alternative to getting into flash mode. And the newest Flash Tool which you can use to dump an already existing ROM or back up your user partition. Just look at the sub folders in the kit.

IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU ARE FLASHING A KITKAT ROM ON YOUR M8HD...READ THIS THREAD!!!!!!!

Make sure you leave the loader.bin checked when flashing if you are upgrading from a Jellybean ROM.

Download

Enjoy!!!!!!

Just flashed it and my tablet does not seem to go into portrait mode it stays in landscape mode.


Edit: This is only an issue on the home screen but when you're inside an app it works.

+1 here, just the home-screen.

Hmm.. I don't know which rom to flash now. What if the tweaks made by Edge Xuan in the 1.8 rom improve this tablet's performance? Could somebody who's trying both 1.8 and 1.9 roms give some opinions?

This improvement particularly looks pretty interesting in the Edge Xuan version:
5: Optimize wifi connection speed, the machine model: M8HD.USB letter to: PIPO

Thanks Riley for a brilliant KitKat ROM!

Hmm. I see no problem for every home screen, applications screen, and all my applications which support orientation change.

Your able to go into portrait mode when you're in the home screen?

Your able to go into portrait mode when you're in the home screen?

You're right. On home screens works landscape mode only. Minor issue.

You can update the launcher3.apk by the one of the previous ROM (Riley 1.6)

This one can rotate on home screen.

This is the apk : https://mega.co.nz/#!VI0FDQzB!JXyBDs...y09F2CTnUuWQog

But you will have one column less for icons !

OverClock Kernel

Hi,

I made overclock kernels for this Rom with voltage reduced to save battery.

These kernels must be flashed with flahs Tools with only kernel checked.

I use : kernel_cpu1704h_gpu600_ddr667.img

because mine can't have DDR to 720 Mhz.

here is with CPU up to 1704: https://mega.co.nz/#!cMtlRLaD!20Qpvh...95YXox5OKbHvPE

and for 1608 : https://mega.co.nz/#!IAF0kDyC!4fHvMg...z9-sRzWifmqLq4

Could you suggest which one would be stable in most cases? Battery saving is my priority. I flashed four kernels but all failed.

Does this one work for you : kernel_cpu1608h_gpu600_ddr667.img ?

or maybe kernel_cpu1608hmin_gpu600_ddr667.img if you are lucky

This will get you more power battery saving with a little overclock for DDR
