Pipo M6 4.2.2 RileyROM 1.8 [MAX not PRO]

I think you could have a problem related to the hardware, perhaps the RAM, try a stability test with antutu, or another RAM test to verify if there is something wrong somewhere...

I just did a stability test with Antutu. Not sure how to read the result though lol I got a graph with numbers in the 82-86 range. Also did a test with StabilityTest 2.7 and it was able to run for 30 minutes without any problems.

Very strange behaviour... In such a situation it's very difficult to understand what is going on with this tablet... I've bought 7 pipo m6 pro and 1 m6 standard, none of them have had any freezing problem.

Seven?! How come you have so many? One for each room/wall of the house? :P Well quite a few people have reported similar problems here so it's definitely not an isolated incident.

Btw, I am thoroughly impressed by what Crossbreeder has done for my M6. So far everything is a lot smoother. It did hang for a couple of seconds in Google Play which almost made my heart skip a beat but then it soldiered on. Other than that, it's been performing better across the board. I'll let you know if I experience any more freezing. So far, highly recommended!

No, I'm not crazy, only one is for me, the others are for my collegues at work.


Just curious of crossbreeder, I've already installed it too on my M6pro, I can confirm that during browsing, pages loading have improved dramatically.
Tomorrow, at work, I can compare my tablet with crossbreeder mod directly with the others m6pro without the mod, to verify how really general performances have improved.

Never heard of the Crossbreeder. After looking it up, it sounds very interesting. Just installed it, will report back with results

EDIT: Okay, it really didn't take long for me to notice the improvements. Compared to before, it's like the machine has a rocket strapped to its back now! Of course, it's only been 10 minutes so still don't know if it will freeze again or not but if it keeps performing like this, I might not care! By the way pradipsoman, when you said you haven't had any FC, did you mean freezing which required a hard reset via the back hole? Thanks for introducing some of us to Crossbreeder!

Never had to hard reset via the pin hole except when my tab was totally discharged. And never have any FC or freezing of any kind.

I feel it's also faster when launching apps although I'm suspecting that Crossbreeder simply sped up the launch animation. This is something that can be adjusted in the Cyanogenmods which gives the illusion that apps are launching faster. Whatever the case may be, I'm quite happy with my tablet at the moment.

So does anyonehave a guide for installing crossbreeder for the dummies amongst us (well me anyway!)

Do you have CWM on your device now? If so, just download CrossBreeder_7.2.13.zip and CrossBreeder_Uninstall_7.2.13.zip (in case something goes wrong) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2113150 and put them somewhere on your device. Then boot into Recovery mode via the Reboot app that comes with the Riley ROMs and choose flash from zip. Then look for the CrossBreeder_7.2.13.zip and choose yes. After it's done, go back and then choose reboot. It'll ask you to confirm something, just choose yes and you're done!

The answer to that one is nope.. Thanks... I may need to read up about getting CWM on it then.. I have the reboot app but have only ever flashed using the RR tools..

Now I just need some time to learn..

Oh it's very simple. Which RileyROM are you using? I think he started offering CWM since 1.5 or 1.6, I can't remember. All you need to do is go into the ROM folder inside one of the RileyROM zips and rename the recovery.img to something like original_recovery.img and then change the name of cwmrecovery.img to recovery.img. Then you just need to flash the ROM again using the RR tools like always. After that, according to Riley's readme (this isn't in the "First Time User Guide"):

Once you flash the ROM it will immediately boot into CWM Recovery by Fun. You get error messages at the bottom saying Invalid Command Arguement...etc...so just ignore that.


By swipeing the screen up and down, move through the CWM menu and select "wipe cache partition" and press the power button. Swipe down to confirm "Yes - Wipe Cache" and press the power button.


The main screen shows up again. Just press the power button and boot the system.

Of course, this means you have to reflash your ROM so make sure to backup everything.

Actually, you flash recovery by itself. Just uncheck everything except recovery and flash without erasing IDB.

Use the reboot app to reboot to CWM.

Thanks Randy

So does that mean that I can just flash recovery without affecting any apps or anything on there? Also with CWM can I update the firmware / kernel without having to reinstall everything?

I'm new to all this just in case you didnt realise

I would run a backup in case anything goes wrong...and remove your external sd.

Otherwise, you shouldn't loose anything.
