Pipo P9 RileyROM 1.8

You will need to flash TWRP by itself after the first boot is complete.

You are correct...as long as you keep your TWRP backup on external SD...you can restore the current ROM as often as you like.

Im going to update to 1.9 on my P9 so I have few questions related to my earlier queries. After I have flashed using the Rockchip tool and booted once my device, can I make full NANDROID backup from TWRP to SD card and use it to restore back to clean 1.9 if needed and no need for Rockchip tool until newer ROM released? I ask this, cause I do all kinds of tests on my device and need to reflash it often and hate to boot my PC for that, or Im not even close to a computer when on the road.

What is 1.9 ROM?

Those changes are already present in the wifi only ROM. Another solution would be to flash the wifi ROM, if you aren't using 3G. See if that helps your battery consumption and solves the wifi problem coming out of deep sleep.

On my wifi only P9 (with wifi firmware 1.8), I still can't enable wifi after deep sleep.

Same is here...

So what I understand is that if you turn WiFI off the battery drain is gone?
The battery drain is only WiFi related?

Not sure... I didn't try though to turn OFF the WiFi by myself, but I always use Tasker, it does the work, a it DOES turns it OFF, I checked.
Anyway it does not help

So 1.9 ROM was a mistake?

I bought 2 PiPO P9, one for me and one for a friend, and I'm overall satisfied with it. I own an Asus MeMo pad 10, and although I still prefer my Asus' design, I'm really happy with P9's performance.
I hate kitkat not supporting flash anymore (I know, Adobe is discontinuing it, but lots of sites and video streaming use it). At least I solved it using Puffin browser (the only one that actually worked).
What I still can't solve is the tablet Wi-Fi not waking up from sleep. What's weird is that one tablet has this problem, the other doesn't, though they are just few units apart in their serial number.

Can you check versions of kernel?

It was a typo on my side, sorry...

On a side note, Hearthstone runs so nice on this device!

Kernel version is 3.10.0 root@alex-System-Product-Name #213

ROM is Riley's 1.8

Hey Randy, when you get your v989 can you give a review? I've been lurking over at the Onda forums, as this device intrigues me. Some users have reported random restart issues, which seem to be hardware related, kind of like how not all pipos are the same. Onda might be a serious contender for my 2015 replacement.

Already done:

Cool thanks. Let me know when you get more time with it if you experience any of the random reboots. They were also have supposed to release lollipop by now but haven't, maybe they got close with 5.0 then decided to redirect for 5.0.1 since that fixed a lot of issues.. Who knows with these Chinese companies!

[rrileypm]

Will do.
