Pipo M8 Pro RileyROM 2.1

[intergon]

Ok, I have installed this ROM, but there is still no SMS function, which I'm waiting for
I know, that PiPo worked about it, so I had hope that it is working now..

I have to hand it to darrellr for changing and testing the pearl script a bit more and is creating kernels to exact proportions. I, on the other hand, am a complete NOOB when it comes to kernel patching. I just use the straight pearl script which actually produces a BUNCH of kernel arrangements by default. I just picked the ones that matched what we've been having good luck with on performance. As far as effeciency.....well, that's another story and I hope to find the time to learn that.

If Darrellr can take this kernel and tweak it further, I would be a happy camper. I would even settle for a custom edited pearl script with the correct settings, since I have no idea when I can do it myself. I kind of like doing the kernels myself whenever I'm ready to release a ROM, instead of waiting for help.

I've been running the 1704 kernel without consequence...except for the noticeable battery drain.

I see... so we are in the same boat, I spent the past two days trying to understand what are the changes that are needed to the script, but it was a futile attempt i'm afraid.

appreciated!

Thanks all the way from Taiwan!

Will try it out tomorrow :grin:

Flash mode

Yesterday I flashed the RileyROM 2.1 on my tab and the following problem occurs: the ROM Flash Tool 1.37 showed that it found a RKAndroid rock usb device but couldn't reboot in flash mode (no device)! I found for me the following solution: I rebooted with the Rockchip Batch Tool (command: switch) in flash mode and than flashed the tab with the ROM Flash Tool 1.37. It worked pretty well. The easiest way is: reboot with the Quick Boot (Reboot) app in Bootloader mode and than flash with the ROM Flash Tool 1.37!

Upgraded last night, using middle kernel and flashed cwm (which doesn't load: android on its back w/ an !)

Today I couldn't get it to boot, couldn't figure out why, several reset presses later I unplugged the power adapter and it booted after a reset.

Just an: FYI.

Did the ROM work OK with the stock kernel?

[PolarBear]

Ummmm...

Did the ROM work OK with the stock kernel?

Hi Riley, sorry, I haven't tried it yet. I just wanted to say that I gave the 1704 kernel a tough workout last night and had no problems whatsoever Also, the device is working soooooo smoothly and just seems to look GREAT.

Btw, that boot animation is THE BEST EVER

NFS modules

Randy, do you have the nfs modules for your kernel (sunrpc.ko,lockd.ko and nfs.ko)?

[rrileypm]

I haven't seen those modules for 3188.

Hi, I've got it, installed on my M8 pro, but not tested since my tablet is Out of order for the moment !

you can try : here

I didn't remembered where I found them !

Thanks, I'll add that to my kitchen. Let me know if it works for you.

Thank you stevejc, but I think that these modules are compiled for an older kernel, because I can't load nfs.ko no matter what (the error is "unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter")

2 out of 3 is pretty damn good

Greets all,

I've tried out all three kernels now, and the normal and 1704 kernels were awesome, no probs, and I hardly noticed more battery drain with the 1704 kernel

After approximately 7 hours of using the 1800 kernel, it suddenly crashed twice while using the latest (extra stalker-friendly, I've heard) Facebook app.

Yeah, I probably deserved it

Thanks for all the efforts

OK, I borrowed the modules from lewy20041's Minix X7 firmware and it worked at the first attemp

nfs_modules.zip

Copy the .ko files to /system/lib/modules and change permissions to rw-r-r

From terminal make yourself root:

su

Then, the modules must be loaded in order:

insmod /system/lib/modules/sunrpc.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/auth_rpcgss.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/lockd.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/nfs.ko

then you can mount a share with:

busybox mount -t nfs -o nolock XX.XX.XX.XX:/export/share /mnt/mount_point

(the folder /mnt/mount_point must exist and have 777 permissions)

I have doubled the transfer speed in my home setup: with cifs I can copy a file from my NAS to my tablet at 1,3~1,7 MB/s; with nfs I can copy at 3,2~3,4 MB/s.

What's the rpcgss.ko for?
