Pipo M9 Pro RileyROM 2.0

[M9ProPipo]

does the choice of usb socket matter when flashing a rom?

Are you using the pipo USB cable, the Usb plug is slightly longer on the pipo cables, normal usb cables dont work with the device.

Also check that you are using the usb plug nearer to the physical buttons, I suspect (but am not 100% sure) that the other micro usb socket labeled 'host' next to the headphone hole is only for usb storage and device-to-device connections, not for flashing. ??

removing sd

Anywhone who knows how to remve the back cover ot the M9 Pro?
I have put a mini sim with a adaptor in the sim slot .
It's not recognized and can't remve it anymore .

Try pushing Down on it with another sd card or gentle with a small screwdriver.
It is spring loaded and will pop back out. Easy once you know the trick.

If you really need the back cover off search for the youtube video about it. There is a link onthe kirsty
Rom thread about getting a better gps signal. (I hope they were more careful with my unit!)

Thanks guy's

I used my fingernails and starting at the bottom corner of the tablet I SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY pushed the plastic back from the screen, once you get the first corner off the rest is easy, loosen the bottom and both sides and it will slide away from the top edge, TAKE CARE the speakers and WiFi antenna are taped to the back panel.

Thank you ,i have managed to get it open and sim removed
While the alu back was removed i tried to see that GPS reception was improved(like some people mensioned) result is no better.

Thanks for the reply.
I did download it but Antutu still don't work?
What did you do to make it work? or maybe someone else?

Also someone who experience freezes and reboots with new 2.0??

I was having the same problemas with Antutu.

What I did, was to do each test one by one instead of doing all at once (I as trying to determine which part was crashing the tablet).

After running all of them successfully I was able to run the full test without any problem.

By the way, I got a score of 18804.

Debugging was off except for adb try.
With all your experience, does this sound like hardware now?
Thanks.

i had some issues with my tablet not being recognized. reinstalled drivers with this here (attachment) which i found somewhere and then it found it again. hope this helps

Dont just tell them what to do. Tell them HOW to to do it as well please! Thanks.

I'd really like to know how to "fool" the tablet into thinking it's a phone (step by step please). Surely if this can be done, then installing MESSENGER for smssing would be possible!

Some tips (with much help from the m9 kasty rom gps thread)

Go outside, find a clear sky

Hold tablet in portrait mode with camera on right so antenna is pointing up

Do the figure 8 electronic compass calibration (see youtube)

Intstall ntpsync app. Run detailed query and note offset in milliseconds. My pipo is gaining about 1-2 sec/day, bad cpu freq. calibration?
Run query and sync to reset the clock. If return ping time to server is long consider to add 2 letter country code before pool url. E.g. uk.pool.ntp.org

I don't think gps.conf suggestion is good for wifi only, or when cell coverage is bad (since no ntp available when you need gps most).

See /system/etc/gpsconfig.xml for TWO places with coldstart locations. Need to remount system dir as superuser r/w to edit it. Maybe better to leave this file alone.

Install gps test app. In settings select update AGPS. I think this is the almanac/ephemeris.
Also in settings set keep screen on.

Wait for fix, first time could take some minutes.
Once you have a fix keep it in the app with a fix for 30 minutes. Do not switch away from app.

Good luck, this worked for me.

Google search for 'edit build.conf app'. Be very very careful if you decide to do this. Use the app to edit. See other search hits for instructions and background.

Thanks for the tips,gps is great now.
After running GPS test for 1 hour i get now instant fix with Navigon ,Sygic, Copilot and Tomtom.
INDOORS by the way!!!

Great Flash, just one thing seems clunky

Has anyone else noticed on the running apps screen, if you swipe to close, they jerk rather than glide off smoothly? Did not do that with stock rom. Wonder if something is just a little off. Everything else works great.

[Livy]

Will this work good on Pipo M9 Pro 3G or do you recommend any other version?

fix usb drivers

i had some issues with my tablet not being recognized. reinstalled drivers with this here (attachment) which i found somewhere and then it found it again. hope this helps

PICAY, you are a Genius!! Thank you sooo much This little installer got my Win7 laptop talking to my PipoM9Pro in minutes with absolutely no problems at all. I had given up trying to get this computer working with the usual nightmare installation procedure, but this just installed and told me to connect. First time connection got me talking on both flash tools. Randy, I think you should seriously consider putting this in your ROM Installation pack - it will make that first time installation SO MUCH easier!

[devilmc]

I'm new here. First time I have installed RileyROM 2.0.
It seems everything working OK at the moment.
Antutu test score marked as 18731 on my Pipo M9 Pro.

How did you apply the kernel update?
By using the ROM_Flash_Tool_137 in the same way to install RileyROM?

What is your Antutu test score after overclocking?
Thanks in advance.
