AndroidVPN

I've tried to connect to server by OpenVpn, but it failed.
It seems like tun.ko doesn't works properly.
————
- On some ICS images the permissoions on /dev/tun might be wrong, or the tun module might be missing completely.
- Cannot open TUN
- Exiting due fatal error
————-
It seems like tun.ko module is not loaded in kernel.

Here is a link to VPNGate.net. Just follow the guide on setting-up for android.http://www.strongvpn.com/setup_android_open.shtml
Get the server; openvpn profiles here: http://www.vpngate.net/en/

I think I added it to the lib/modules folder. Maybe I need an updated ko.

Yes, you added, but didn't loaded to kernel.
I loaded it manually (insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko) and everything work.
How I can load this module automatically on start tablet?

Strange,I'm definitely finding 1.7 the smoothest.

Recovery Mode and Flash Mode

Here is the guide on How to go to Recovery Mode and Flash Mode. This assumes your device is switched off.

1.To Go to Recovery Mode: Press Vol+, Esc, and Pwr buttons all at the same time(start with Vol+, Esc, and Pwr). Release Vol+ when Linux logo appears. Use Vol+- to navigate and Pwr button to enter selection.

2. To Go to Flash Mode: Open RKBatchTool or RKAndroidTool or ROM_Flash_Tool_137 depending on which one you are going to use for flashing. Press Vol+ button first then Pwr button. Wait until drivers are loaded. At this time if drivers were loaded then the button on RKBatchTool would be green; ready to flash. On RKAndroidTool the status message becomes Found RKAndroid rock Loader usb. You can now proceed to flash your device. Otherwise, you may need to load the drivers.

Not sure what some of the entries mean but #3 sounds interesting. Anyone who has upgraded noticed any difference in camera quality?

Thanks for posting. So it sounds like mostly bad news to me - "new sound reduction" is probably their stupid way of fixing the mechanical speaker imbalance - which I already fixed physically, by opening up the tablet and removing the sound blocking pieces of plastic under both speakers. Meaning now my right speaker will have a lower volume, because of Pipo's "fix". I'll have to figure out how to "fix it back" - there must be settings somewhere which dictate each speaker maximum volume. I couldn't find it so far. I tried /etc/asound.conf - it does have speaker volume settings, but it didn't change anything for me, so it must be somewhere else.

Also, how about "charging into a shutdown state only" - it sounds like I won't be able to use the tablet while charging? Can anyone who flashed 1.7 confirm that?

I boost the volume on 1.6 Rom with 1.5 Kernel with the Tool "Viper4AndroidFX", the stock max. volume of this tablet is terrible and way to low. With this tool it is acceptable. I will try your hardware modification. Seems a good way of boosting volume.

Also, i think that with the new firmware, one can charge the tablet while it is off, and it won't start automatically which is a very good thing i assume! Always hated that about Pipo tablets.

Pipo no longer start automatically when charge (when tablet is in shutdown state)..... Its a good thing though i don't ever recall shuting down before charging (coz, there's always a little bit of juice left)

BTW I've also open mine and fix the speaker (i used to pump up the volume using viper4android but the speaker get heated quickly when volume is loud) thankz to u, it doesn't get hot anymore..... But now i think the left speaker is louder than the right!
PS: heating the knife/cutter while cutting make it super easy to cut as per your desire.... but be careful not to overdo it.... Mine doesn't even have a hole below the right speaker, have to cut a new hole, probably factory fault, it must be why it used to get heated frequently when played with louder volume
