[Pipo Project] M9 Pro ROM testing

It looks like the file is missing NetworkLocation.apk

Here's a patch to install through TWRP

Sorry for noob question, but how to install twrp recovery on this rom?

Thanks for the info. I will update SuperSU on the next ROM.

Tattman65 designed this latest boot animation...as he has done with all of our Pipo Project ROM's. I think it looks really cool!!!!!!!

NO NO! it`s cool definitely! ready and waiting to flash v1.0.3 here, testing testing testing...

Kenneth, the point is that I want to get the final version of this ROM as good as possible before I release and post it...one more time. This thread isn't for a final release...it's for testing. Since I don't own an M9 Pro, it's important for experienced testers (like you) to contribute by letting me know what works and what doesn't.

These are strictly test versions...while working better than the previous ROM's...I want to have everything right for the less experienced users.

The ROM itself is just a base to work from for the kernels Stevejc is attempting to compile. Once he has a breakthrough with a bootable kernel...that's when lag issues and other fixes can occur. The kernel I've put in the ROM is an unreleased version that Pipo included in the sources we received by them. Steve is still trying to compile one from source that actually boots. Once he gets this figured out, he can start to address the lag problems.

So far my short list of fixes:

Fix Location Services
Update Superuser

I have a question about Superuser. Lately, I've switched to the Koush Superuser because it works better on MTK devices...it's open source as opposed to SuperSU. It really doesn't matter to me which one I use for this ROM. I just need a consensus of which one the users prefer.

Thanks randy for this explanation

Regarding superuser i prefer chainfire`s superSU

IMO i hate Koush Superuser

btw nice bootanimation randy is it your work?

I don't want to sound rude but what's the point to flash more rom's? I am coming from RR3.0.1 and it was fine. The major problem I see with the m9pro is the lagging issue which still persists in this rom.

I found that this system.img isn't as polished as the previous ones...but at least it contains the exchange services...which was missing in previous stock images.

I will put together a v1.0.3 with that fix...and update the superuser. It appears that my RK3188 kitchen is a little out of date. I've moved on to RK3288 and MTK ROM's and forgot to update superuser in my RK3188 files.

Fix NetworkLocation

Thanks for the report. We will have to do some digging to find that Network Location problem.

I can't test gps right now, but wifi / mobile network location doesn't work. It's only me?

[Kenneth]

flashed v1.0 does not boot...

flashed v1.0.2 all fine...nice boot animation randy!

I still feel the tablet lags a bit when pressing the back button

[rrileypm]

OK, I changed my mind and added those changes real quick because I don't know if I can get back to this on Sunday...I've been working for a few days and need to spend some family time.

So I added v1.0.2 to post #1 fixing multi-user and adding the Nav Bar tweak mentioned above by bucefal82 (thank you sir for the suggestion).

[rrileypm]

OK, that's a simple fix. I left the edit out to see if we could get a booting ROM. Now, I can add that tweak safely.

Thanks for testing.

I will try to post a new version on Sunday.

Does Multi-user work? If not, I'll fix that.

Multi-user not work!
It is not even in the settings menu
