Pipo M8 Pro 4.2.2 RileyROM 1.5

[pr0xZen]

I flashed using the 8 gig user app space parameter file. Now I can't download anything on the internet. Even if I moved the download path to the external sd card, it still says that and sd card is required. Any tips? Should I reflash?

Did you follow the instructions? Or read this thread?

[...] if you boot normally and try to mount the card you will see the little 'failure' icon on the top left - click on that and a menu appears allowing you to format the card.

Keep in mind that that problem only happens if you install CWM as the recovery. The stock recovery goes ahead and formats the internal SD automatically. I'm thinking about not including CWM anymore until I get that problem fixed.

Would you consider making it optional? Maybe posting 1 with CWM, one without? Personally I feel very naked without CWM, but I'd hate to miss out on your ROMs I really don't see the problem to be honest - people just need to read the instructions.

Recieved my second M8pro, for Geekbuing this time. Packed like they were shipping porcelain, and it got here in 8 days as Tracked Airmail :O

Its seem to be working well - very well infact. Not liking the stock and Pipo launcher though. It came with the 20130518 4.2.2 ROM, eager to see how the RileyROM 1.5 performs Just checking and testing a few things first, and running a batch of a few different benchmarks (AnTuTu & Vellamo) to establish a stock baseline

Can you put up some screen shots of Pipo's launcher? I've been wondering what all the fuss was about.

What I try to do...If Fun has a CWM specifically for the tablet is include it as the default recovery. I also include the stock recovery in the kit to flash as an alternative. What I may do is reverse what is the default and make stock the default, and if anyone wants CWM they can flash that instead. If there is no specific CWM for the device...I just put in the stock recovery. I'll leave it up to the users to talk Fun into creating a CWM for them. We have been studying the possibility of creating a Freaktab CWM, but it is a work in progress.

People who are new to flashing ROM's can ease into the more advanced stuff as they learn.

Yeah, I just had the same thought, a little late; Leave the CWM recovery in there, but make the stock recovery default

As I saw one of the pointers on the SDK2.0 was HDMI audio passthrough - is it reasonable to assume that the current ROMs available, don't pass through multi-channel audio? Anyone tested this with 1.5 ?

My M8pro came with [M8pro-eng 4.2.2 JDQ39 eng.root.20130516.105208 test-keys] ROM. I tried my best to do some thorough testing before flashing RileyROM 1.5.

I hit one bump here. WiFi was fast, stable and very good signal on the stock rom it came with. But after flashing to RileyROM 1.5, signal strength is about 2dBm lower, dBm Ø is 5dB lower. Signal is still pretty reasonable - but stability obviously took an impact. It doesn't diconnect, but it fluctates quite alot, and times out atleast once every 5 minutes.

Anyone else experience anything similar? The signal and stability was "golden" with the stock rom, so shouldn't be hardware related.

Anyone else having issues with Bluetooth? I can't get my Pipo M8 to pair with my Bluetooth headphones, nor can I get it to pair with my ODBII car diagnostic Bluetooth dongle. Both of these devices work fine when connected to ny HTC One X. Is there a way to install new Bluetooth drivers?

Managed to open tablet. Now i know its the black wire which is the wifi antenna.
Now to me it looks ok but another opionion would be great.

I am still waiting for my M8pro so cannot really help there. Good wifi is essential for me as I am taking the device on a trip. I am curious to see if others have the same behaviour with 1.5 or 1.5a.

pr0xZen, have you tried the latest TNT firmware ( http://www.rockchipfirmware.com/node/185 ) just released?
You could compare wifi signals with yet another 4.2 firmware version. It seems to be offering very much the same as 1.5 and hopefully may also retain the better wifi signal.

It's 3g version and not sure which end you mean

[pr0xZen]

I figured it was probably the 3g version because of the 2 wires (leading to 2 antennas, presumably). What I meant about the other end, was ifmyou traced those wires away from the mainboard, and got any pictures of what was in the other end. Hopefully 2 antennas...
