Geekbuying shared new firmware:

No clue how to install (yet). From PIPO i only got the Gapps (which you can't install due to no root).

I just got my X7S today and it has the Playstore installed.

What a mess, I emailed them a week and a half ago trying to get a working firmware and their responses were less then adequate. I had heard due to legal reasons that microsoft doesnt allow other app stores to be preinstalled on the same device as a windows 8.1 w/ bing license so not sure if shipping with playstore is good or bad news for buyers but at least its no longer half assed.

No its not preinstalled, its basically useless unless you sideload apps with adb which is not a viable solution for most. Since geekbuying failed to bring this to the attention of pre-order buyers I opened a claim with paypal to get my $ back for the one I received.

Is Playstore preinstalled on the stock Android Rom?

Has anyone gotten the Play store working on the X7S yet? Ive been trying here and there for the past few days with no luck so far.

It does boot on pipo x7. I will have to play with it tomorrow. Thanks

Great stuff. And you got the Play Store pre-installed which is much better than the official X7S. Does the wireless work on Pipo X7? Would it even work on Windows tablet?

Unfortunately I don't have a Pipo X7 so I need someone else to test and reply on their findings.

Can you please upload the iso again. I am getting an error on winzip about 45 seconds into unzipping. Thanks for the iso, this will be great if it will work on my pipo.

I've just checked by downloading and uncompressing it and do not have any problem. Maybe your download got corrupted and you need to re-download? And just FYI I use 7zip on Windows from http://www.7-zip.org/ to uncompress files.

I'm interested in getting the Pipo for my table display as it seems to be the most popular Wintel box and seems to be quite capable. My table is currently driven by an RK3188 based Android Stick. Wi-Fi is very poor and the stick would shutdown after half an hour or so. It would be nice to have the X7s which can dual boot. After reading the review, I am not impressed by the Android side of Pipo. Not to mention having even less disk space with Android installed.

Besides getting the X7s, are there other ways of dual booting the Android with just X7? Say, having a copy of the Android running on a fast USB stick or SD card? That would solve the disk space problem as well.
