[PIPO Project] M8HD

[stevejc]

You can find here a test ROM for M8HD : https://mega.co.nz/#!YYc1jKTJ!Ui1u94...t99WOLD9N-IcL8

This rom had usb audio, nfs, cifs, tun support in kernel and fix flac files audio playing.

I have also added the previous fix we have found earlier ( launcher rotation, Google synchro etc...)

This rom has root access too and init.d support

You can also find some overclocked kernel

Please feed back,

What I have tested so far :

Here is a simple test protocol :

- LCD : OK
- Touchscreen : OK
- Audio : OK
- Rotation : OK

- WIFI : OK
- Bluetooth : OK
- Camera (Photo / video) : OK
- 3G : Don't have it so if someone can test
- audio (micro, headphone) : OK
- Automatic Brightness : OK
- Sensors (use App like Z device to test compass, gravity, Light sensor etc)
Seems OK, compass not reliable for me since the beginning so !
Temperature, Pressure declared but I think not really present in hardware

Advanced functions:
- Hot spot Wifi : OK
- Wifi Direct : OK
- Bluetooth Tethering : OK
- Bluetooth audio : OK
- Bluetooth send files (in/out) : OK
- Bluetooth BLE (low energy) : OK (with Sony SmartBand)
- Ethernet : OK
- HDMI : OK
- USB tethering : Not tested
- VPN : OK
- MIRACAST : OK
- Deep sleep (Tablet Wifi only OK)
- USB OTG : OK
- USB OTG with hub : not tested
- USB Audio with external DAC : OK with mine CM119 Chipset from C-Media
- Network shares : CIFS, NFS : don't find an app compatible, get nfs working with terminal editor, CIFS with ES Explorer

App related functions
- Google agenda synchro : OK
- Exchange : not tested
- Rotation for Based Launcher : OK
- external Sd writing Pb : QuickOffice for example : OK


Extra functions
- root : OK
- init.d support : OK
- overclocking kernel : present I'm using kernel_cpu1704h_gpu600_ddr667

multi users is not implemented yet

Alles werkt 100%

My M8HD showed up last night and I flashed this new ROM.

I took Stevejc's firmware and added:

Autoinstall
Boot Animation by Tatty
Branded Kernels (yes, all of them) with Tatty's logo above
Busybox
Koushik's Superuser
Added things to the ROM kit I've always added
Added TWRP recovery to install after first boot
Google Play Store fixes
Some Build Prop Tweaks
Added Multi-user Support
Added a bunch of parameter files
Added the First Time User's Guide

Download

Be sure to flash the loader.bin if you are coming from a JB ROM (it's checked by default).

On first boot, recovery will stay on the boot screen for a while...and you may notice the rear LED come on. Just be patient for a few minutes and let stock recovery do it's thing. After the partitions are formatted, the tablet will boot to system...again be patient on the first boot.

So far everything I've tested works great. I got a 24400 Antutu score with no additional apps installed and running the default launcher.

If anyone else wants to test it...have at it. And please report any tweaks that need to be made.

New Kernel

Hi

Nobody has tested it yet ?

So I have made new kernel for M8HD.

I have added some governors to kernel .

for example you will have the hotplug governor that can turn off some core of CPU when not needed.

Improve Battery life

To use it you will need some apps like Kernel Tuner or No-frills CPU Control.

You have to change default governor (interactive) to hotplug.

If you do the opposite, be careful because if some core are offlines with hotplug governor, they will stay offline !
To Wake up use the app Kernel Tuner that can make it :

Steve, I'm working on those settings modifications today and will be flashing my M8HD several times...so I will use your new kernel to test. Wish me luck getting those apk's to boot.

3G test

I have just downloaded and flashed the new firmware to test the 3G on my pipo m8hd and i get a few random week signel on grps but after 10 minutes i got 3g connection for while and lost all conections

I have not tried anything else on the ROM due to not having a working digitizer panel and I was using
someone eles a wireless keyboard and i had to give it back

USB sound card, behind a hub

Hi guys,
Could you, m8hd owners, please check that USB audio out still runs OK when a (powered usb) hub is used between the otg cable and the external USB soundcard ?
It is because I cannot get USB audio out to work in that config (on my m7pro),
Soundcard is powered but the sound still come out of the internal speakers...
Tks in advance

No problem for me, even with no power on USB hub. (with new kernel)

I have bought Sound About app don't know if it matters

hope we can have soon a working kernel on M7pro

I have also enabled USB hub support in kernel too

Flashed this ROM with kernel_cpu1704h_gpu600_ddr667.img.

Good performance, all seems good, interface works smooth. But in-game fps seems lower than in a JellyBean ROMs. This causes bigger latency on touches (only in-game).

I'll use it for longer tme to say a more...

yes FPS are lower don't kown why ???

really don't know. But i think of new scroll bar in kitkat which has special mode to be hidden and visible during the game which is compaitable with it. And this is not only in games. As i see, on the tables in the launcher scrolling the bar seems a little bit laggy, but in ES explorer, where it is without shadow, it is very smooth.

Just to be sure: it's based onto KK, isn't-it?!
