Pipo M8 Pro RileyROM 2.1

What's the rpcgss.ko for?

It's for NFS server with kerberos authentication. I dont know of any SOHO NAS that uses this configuration, but I added it just in case (if you dont load the auth_rpcgss.ko module everything else works just fine)

I've added all of those files to my kitchen, so it will be present on all future ROM's.

Thanks!!!!!!

That's great, just remember that if you change the kernel version these modules most probably are going to fail.


As a bounus this is an init.d script to load the NFS modules on boot

#!/system/bin/sh


for i in sunrpc.ko auth_rpcgss.ko lockd.ko nfs.ko ; do
 insmod /system/lib/modules/$i
done

I get this script from here

We can also add another script for CIFS support

#!/system/bin/sh


for i in md4.ko cifs,ko ; do
 insmod /system/lib/modules/$i
done

Maybe you can add to your ROMs a /etc/init.d.disabled directory with usefull scripts, and if a user needs the functionality, he/she just need to move the script to /etc/init.d

I just insmod them from the init.rs file in boot.img.

Can you use Xposed framework and GravityBox on Pipo (RK3188)?

I am using xposed framework (app setings, boot manager, ditheredholobackground, master key multi fix, xvolume modules installed) without any problem.

^ thanks, do you think that is better then using this custom ROM? I have no experience with it, I just know how it works in theory and have no idea where to start regarding Pipo. what would you suggest?

If you just get your tablet, perhaps it is better to stay with the stock rom until you know that everything works ok and it don't need to be sent back for warranty (I say that a couple of weeks is sufficient). After that you should try this rom, it is smoother than stock, it's allready rooted, with init.d support, and some tweaks for better performance; and the best part is Randy's support for any problem you may found.

Re: Pipo M8 Pro RileyROM 2.1

Regarding the tablet it is with me for more than 2 weeks and it works flawlessly with the the original FW. I'm ready for an update! Xposed and Gravity are somewhat new and might be a defining the future (?), so I wanted to experiment with that; however if you think it would be best to try this custom ROM -- I'll do it.

Thank you for your kind input

Make a Titanium backup before you switch to Riley Rom.
So you can reinstall easily your apps and even Pipo'apps if you used them

Re: Pipo M8 Pro RileyROM 2.1

Thanks for your advice but I don't think I'd never need Pipo's FW.

Titanium backup works only on rooted devices, right? Mine is not rooted. Yet.

sorry but i'mlittle noob

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

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.

how i can copy those files on that folder? i tried as root but was not possible

Riley rom 2.1

Riley awesome job on the latest rom. Loving it much more responsive, than it had been lately. Also like the additional metro look launcher. Tab seems to boot up quicker than before. The only think I miss is the RKReader app. Can I inject that or install it from a cwm backup?

You need to mount the system partition as RW, if you use ES File Explorer you can mount / and /system as RW from the left side menu->tools->root explorer ON, then in the same place click root explorer again (the word, not the ON button) and select Mount R/W, from there you can select which partition to remount as rw.
Once you mounted your partition as rw you can copy the files the way you like (with ES File Explorer or from the terminal); just remember to mount back the partition as ro after you finish, just for safety.
