Pipo Max M8 Pro Bluetooth issues

[stevejc]

I've found the solution for bluetooth tethering.

You need to download TUN.ko installer on google play !

With that I can browse the internet.

the network interface rises up : with netcfg in terminal emulator, bt-pan interface comes before was nothing.

VPN also working with pdanet for example

I'm happy now

Just two points left for me : wifi direct and e compass that isn't reliable

Glad to hear you managed to work it out! Tested it myself, and it works here too Thank you!

The "gyro" inside these tablets aren't really that reliable, and network positioning isn't exactly accurate either. It could probably be improved, but the technology itself is quite limited with regards to precision.

I still haven't figured out the wifi direct. Let us know if you do

Nice to know...I till start putting the tun.ko in future ROM updates. I have one already for this kernel, but I wasn't aware that it could get bluetooth tethering to work. I've never played with VPN.

I managed to installed it on the tablet without the need of extra applications.

First, use the application 'TUN.ko installer' on google play and search for a valid tun.ko for your tablet (it will copy it to /sdcard/tun.ko)
You can then uninstall this application

Then with a root explorer like es-explorer, mount the /system with R/W attribute

copy the /sdcard/tun.ko file to /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
change permission to rw- r-- r--

I have some problem with my special installation (not Riley's one) with busybox
So you can update your version with the app 'BusysBox' de Stephen on google play

then verify the init.d support, can check or enable it with the 'Universal init.d' application on google play.
You can then uninstall this application

then create a new file /system/etc/init.d/99tunmodule without extension
in this file put the following

#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

(the last line is necessary because it seems that dns is not correctly ok without this)

now remount the /system with R/O attribute with es explorer

it's done after reboot when you set up bluetooth tethering as usual, you will also have internet acces on your Pipo.

Can be in the next Riley's Rom ?

Thanks for that instruction on setting it up with an init.d script.

I think I can implement this by adding the tun.ko file in the system.img...then adding this init.d script to run on first boot.

It may take me a while to test, but I believe I can have this in the next release...whenever Pipo comes out with an update. (or before then, if I get bored).

Thanks for that.

I have still issue with dns when for example I stop bluetooth and start Wifi, then stop wifi restart bluetooth tethering.

I need to type this command on a terminal emulator to have internet access after that, on boot it's OK

setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

bye

Forget this thing about dns !

It was a problem with my personnal network, my personal wifi gives to the tablet my router's ip for dns so when I test in Bluetooth, this ip was not reachable so no dns available !

I've changed my router configuration so now everything is OK without that trick.

Sorry
