I've been playing around with new ROM kitchen, thanks to my colleague 900SuperSport (our Cube developer here on Freaktab). With this new kitchen comes some fun features.
For months, I've been banging my head trying to get CWM Recovery to work on these Pipo tablets. I couldn't get a CWM version to format all of the partitions, so we put our heads together and combined the functions of the stock recovery to format everything on first boot, then auto install CWM Recovery after that. So this new ROM comes with a working CWM Recovery that your don't need to install yourself. You just have to wait a few minutes after the first boot after flashing for all of this stuff to install.
A byproduct of this new feature provides you with the ability to auto install apps from your external SD card. There are some limitations to this, but if you have utilities or small apps you want to use immediately after boot, your apps will also be installed automatically. Just create a folder named "autoinstall" on your external SD card and put the apk files you want to install in that folder. There can't be any spaces in the file names, though...so after you copy them to the folder, edit the file names to remove any spaces. Also, I wouldn't recommend installing an app that requires data to be restored from your Titanium Backup...it's better to just let Titanium handle those apps. And another thing is that key apps that unlock features within an app don't work well installing this way. For instance, I can install the Titanium Backup/Restore app this way, but I get errors if I also install the key. So just experiment with it and see what works for you.
In the past, I had trouble debloating everything without leaving certain apps in the ROM because it broke some features of the tablet. I've discovered how to keep the provision app from showing up to install Pipo's bloatware, when there wasn't any bloatware to install. It just boots straight to the launcher, now.

I also include an updated First Time User's Guide to add some more explanation of frequently asked questions.
Rockchip released a Windows app that will install the needed drivers for you. While I haven't tested it, myself...because I have everything working just right on my PC...I hear that it does help getting drivers to install the first time. I included it in the ROM kit.
