Skype is not working like it should ..shutsdown out of nothing and making a videocall is just not working

When you try to mount it you will get a damaged storage notification in the drag down notification tab,go to this and from there it will give you the option to format sd

Thank you neiliewheeliebin!

Now I have the following message when I install the ROM. The Rom starts in CWM and give me the message:

E: Invalid command argument
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Is this step necessary or what is the problem. I make installation wih all standard files (2GB)

Thank you for help.

That's normal don't worry about that just be sure to wipe cache partition in cwm then format SD from the notification tab and it should be good to go

I flashed the latest firmware 20130801 to restore my serial and imei number and I must say that so far it seems really good,it starts in english language and boot times are normal aside from the first time which took a few minutes.Hardware decoding is working it played 1080p fairly well but Skype still isn't working.
it has a couple of launchers,the normal one and another called pipo family launcher which can be set to a password protected kiddy launcher.Its hard to tell if it does or doesn't have sdk2.0 which is a good thing really,but it does feel detuned after using 1.8,which is probably why it has much better battery life.One really big plus is that it appears to have eliminated the flickering issue completely which I'm happy about as it was pretty persistent in my m9,its nice to know a flicker free firmware exists for my device.
EDIT:After reflashing this rom the flicker came back again,just as bad as its ever been.
Anyways,
Does anyone know of a way I can back up and restore my device serial/imei numbers?It keeps getting wiped out whenever I flash a rileyrom rendering 3g unusable until I reflash a stock firmware to restore it

[rrileypm]

Has this happened with every RileyROM you flashed?

Are you able to use the stock launchers without a pass key...or do you have one?

[santini]

Is this true, randy? rileyroms wipe imei/serial numbers and you can't use 3g? I still haven't used, but my guess is that I'll need it in the future...
where can I see if my imei number has been disabled?

It has but I'm thinking it was because I was wiping data/factory reset out of habit each time,not because of the ROM itself.
20130801 asked for a passkey on the first boot and i selected later,its still fully functional for now

Its all good the imei and serial are stored in hardware and cant be lost that easily,its just the files that report the serial data to android that get wiped,mine got wiped the 2nd day i had the tablet doing a factory reset with the stock rom,reflashing a stock rom restores those files and fixes it easily,what id like to know is which files they are that seem to get wiped so easily and keep the backed up,cwm backups dont store them either

Thanks for the clarification, neiliewheeliebin. I still haven't got a SIM card, so I can't give it a try to see if my 3g is working. Then again, if a simple factory reset erases the files, chances are I don't have them. Please keep me posted if you find a solution.

[neiliewheeliebin]

I reflashed 1.6 and 1.8 a couple of times and they both end up with 123456789 imei which is then restored apon flashing a stock firmware.I would have said something sooner but I thought I must have been the only one with this problem as no one else has noticed,a factory reset on a stock rom messed mine up months ago and I've only started using it again for the last couple of weeks,it wasn't until today I discovered a stock flash restored it making me realise what was going on.

The new launcher now asks to activate online instead of with a serial,might be tricky for sumvision voyager 2 owners.

Q:Wifi problems in this PIPO firmware ?

I have had problems with WIFI/Blutooth
in all roms I tried.

(Same thing with PIPO's and RileyROM
running RileyROM 1.7 for now, best for me so far )

WIFI runs very good (Strong signal)
but it just cutoff sometimes and problems
to get it back again.

Need to reboot tablet or turn
bluetooth ON and OFF a couple of times
to get wifi back.
Looks like complete Settings screen will lockup
each time this happens.
At least if I try to open WIFI settings.

Definitly some problems with interference
between Bluetooth and WIFI.

Does theese problems still exist in PIPO's
latest firmware ?


THX Riley for Your tremendous work :-)

Its funny ive only ever had WiFi issues with 1.7,it was very buggy on my device for some reason and it messed up my battery calibration as well,every other firmware was stable,WiFi and Bluetooth are usually part of the same module so it is possible yours is playing up,if so you may have some success with one of the fix my WiFi apps,and maybe try a different security type in your router,mines a wireless n set to wpa2-psk and its never given me any trouble.
