Pipo M8 Pro 4.2.2 RileyROM 1.7 SDK 2.0

[pr0xZen]

I may be a bit confused. The new ROM is loaded ...1.7.In settings; storage I am seeing 'Mount SD card' listed under 'Nand flash'. If this is the internal SD card, why is it asking me to mount it. I would think it is mounted ...or the tab would not work??I already have the ex SD card mounted ...it shows OK...even though I am having trouble getting Documents to Go to 'see' it.Any and all help appreciated.

Especially if you changed the parameter at some point (the size of the storage part dedicated to system and apps) - you will need to mount and format this after flash.

Educate me, please.

The nand is where the OS and apps are loaded ...right?

Is this also called an SD Card (as it shows in my settings)? I assume then it is the internal sd card.

So you are saying to format the external SD card ...right?

Thanks

No-no, don't format the external SD card - unless you intend to do that of course

The NAND memory is your internal storage space. I won't bother going into Android history and memory naming hierarcy - but even though it is your internal storage, the part of that total space, wich is available for free usage - is still defined as an "sdcard" within Android storage mounts. And yes, that space will show as both an mountable/unmountable sdcard, AND as NAND flash.

So in settings it gives the option to mount this 'nand' or sd card.


Should I mount it?


Would this be the reason Docs to Go does not see the card?


Thanks so much for your help.

Yes mount it. I don't know about docs 2 go, but if you /don't/ mount it - as far as the apps are concerned, you have /no/ internal user space for docs to be in.

OK ...this is interesting.

I clicked to mount it. A message popped up in the upper left corner "Damaged Storage".

The notification in settings still says 'Mount SD Card', rather than giving the option to unmount.

Hmm. If that area of memory is 'damaged' ...I wonder how the tab works so well.

By the way, I am using the Go Launcher HD for tabs if important.

ALL this is covered in the Readme that came with the rom, AND the First Time User Guide linked in the initial post. Please read the instructions first.

Thank you for your patience. I read it all, and am now on the right path. ..hopefully!

Multi user support

Does this rom support multi user configuration?

Not to my knowledge. I really don't feel well "pushing" other ROMs - but if you need multiuser support, I believe TNT ROMs are currently the only ones supporting multiple users. You'll find their roms @ rockchipfirmware.com . R3 is the latest one, it comes as a CWM flashable image.

Use at own risk, and don't expect much rom-related support here - this subforum covers mostly RileyROMs.

I don't have any use for multiuser myself, but I may consider adding it in the next ROM if there is enough demand. Seems like with root, it is a pretty easy thing to add yourself, if it is important.

How difficult would it be to patch a rom / make said patch? My thoughtstring was maybe things like this could optionally be "patched" to the image before flashing..?

That is a good idea. I will have to experiment a little.

Yeah, the basis for this was thinking it would open up for adding optional features, but leave the main ROM "as is". This might be the simplest method for the end users, but it will require reflashing if "forgotten".

Alternatively, it could be pushed through ADB by batch files post-flash - although that does require additional ADB drivers (Installing PDAnet+ is a simple and painless way to go about it). And, the less likely but still potential mess that could follow with another driver install. I've seen some other Pipo ROMs go this second route - most typically those that keep CWM and root as post-flash options.

I think it could be implemented as a CWM installed zip. This zip could be included in the ROM kit as an option.
