Pipo M9 Max RileyROM 2.1

[fztt]

Agree with kosfil, I am now running option 4 in his list, battery drain very fast.

Hello to all!

I'm newby here. A like to buy pipo tab, and I have 2 selected, but dunno, which one would be better.

PIPO M9Pro or PIPO M6Pro..... 3G not need.

Please help me compare, I know the tech details, but not about useability.

Thanx.

[dnkn]

OK dnkn, i finished your test with stock kernel.....my battery lasted just 8 hours..

Thanks for sharing.
I do not have any explanation to this, but my battery life became ordinary. Same kernel, same rr2.0. But I got 7.50h in that test and it does not feel like before. I had one charge cycle during which I had magical battery efficiency.now it's as usual.

But thanks , that shows that my kernel, working on up to 1.8ghz and 528 MHz DDR perfoms just about like stock, regarding battery life.

I will start a thread with details and several kernels.

Soo..

When I buy M9pro, what is the current, best working/looking rom.. I'm little confused..

RileyRom 2.1 based on the official Pipo firmware release dated 10/25/2013

RileyRom 2.0 actually dated 10/30/2013. I've based v2.0 on this new firmware

Pipo original: http://www.pipo.cn/En/index.php?m=Ab...an_show&id=141

Then, which one?

[fztt]

I'll take better performance with similar battery life before OC as a 'win', dnkn

Anyway, I'm tempted to open the chassis & see whether it can fit a larger capacity battery, something like 10000 or 12000mah, that will be real battery life gain

Yeah, that is definitely not a loss, but I had a miracle with battery life for one cycle, now it's gone. There gotta be an explanation... I suspect one of my batteries (we have 2*3900ma) not participating. I had similar behaviour with stock ROM, sometimes had 3-4 hours of battery life and then 6-8. It's kinda random...

For those who had artifacts in 3d with 696 fr kernel, your Mali needs more power in my kernels it's undervolted on high clock. Will post kernel with increased voltage later.

Hey, M9 Max peep's...please forgive the confusion.

This thread is serving two different subjects ATM...#1 The RileyROM, and #2 the custom kernels. I'm sorry, but both of these subjects go hand in hand. I don't mind it, but let's try to help the newbies out a little more with basic ROM support.

Maybe you kernel guys could start another thread for Pipo kernel development and chat about techy stuff over there, leaving this thread for discussion of the ROM. When you have the best possible kernel to suit the ROM, go ahead and post your link to it, here with as much documentation of features/specs as possible.

Yes, I took a whole day off from Freaktab yesterday (because of my job), and as I'm looking things over this morning, I can see that the usual ROM questions are being overshadowed by kernel discussion.

I've very excited about the kernel development and support it wholeheartedly...but I don't want to make it seem so complicated to noobies.

I've already started a thread for patching Pipo kernels as it is clear it is causing confusion. I'm subscribed to it and will respond to anything posted into that specific thread.

I will use the thread RK3188 Tablet Sources to discuss building custom kernels with DNKN and others.

I'll stop posting in all but the M8HD ROM threads so will not monitor comments.

Thats great will wait for it I had some small artifacts.

Btw i get this strange bug on most 3d GAMES, its like these little pixels that appear only on some textures and colors. It happens no matter what ROM or kernel i tried.. I have the feeling that it somehow affects the performance and a dev from xda said its most likely a hardware related bug.
They keep moving very fast its like the old tv's when there was signal distortion.
IF anyone has an idea at least just share it please

Hi Randy

I don't know if you had time to read my question regarding the parameter file, anyway I ask again here : Any chance to get a 6Go file into this 2.1 version?

Thanks

[rrileypm]

That's no problem. Let me calculate it for you...and you can change it.

[rrileypm]

Open the default (4gb) Parameter file and make these changes:

0x00C00000@0x00084000(userdata),0x00002000@0x00C84 000(kpanic),0x00120000@0x00C86000(system),-@0x00DA6000(user)

That will give you 6gb

Unfortunatelly the playback of 720p is not smooth :'(

Does anyone know any firmware/kernel which can play 720p mkv correctly?

Thanks!

I tried to play the same 720p movie on my Colorfly E708 Q1 (A31S 4*1Ghz, 1Gb RAM) tablet and it's much smoother (almost perfect) than the Pipo M9.

Does Anybody know why? How to solve this problem?

WHat ROM And kernel have you installed?
WHich model PIPO M9 do you have?
Was it a fresh install, are you running some bad app possibly?
Which app do you use to play videos?
What score do you get on antutu?

Ps. To answer your question you need to provide a little more info.

Brilliant! :thumbup:
Many thanks
