Pipo M6 Max RileyROM 2.0

[rrileypm]

Generally, the Pro version was a whole new build. Different wifi, different touch screen, other different parts.

Then it sounds quite a problem hahaha. Merge both doesn't look easy at all.

Especially since I don't have the older version to test on.

It was quite long time ago, but in the M6 Max I didn't see too many external libraries/modules, everything looked as they were integrated in the Kernel Build.

I don't now how good Kitkat build for M6 Pro will work using a M6 Max kernel build + some libraries.

I could give it a try, but I am afraid I will see fire! :P. I am sure the PIPO guys have estrange dependencies :P

How different is the PRO from the MAX?

I thought was only the GPS with same SOC.


What could happen trying to flash the PRO Kitkat M6 in the M6 Max? Has anyone tried?


Thanks.

I tried it by accident. The WiFi doesn't work. Not sure what else doesn't work.

That being said, I'm would be happy to be the guinea pig. I was able to re-flash back to Jellybean with no problems.

hahaha, well you could try do it again + flashsing the 4.0 kernel from this thread for the M6 Max.
Testing a little to see how many thing doesn't work.

rilley can confirm if the Wifi module is build-in the kernel or a module. (I don't have the PIPO M6 now, so I cannot check it).

I don't think he has the M6 model either. I could check it when I get home.

The problem is that you can't run a kitkat ROM with a jellybean kernel. Until someone builds a kitkat kernel, unfortunately....kitkat is a no go.

Well...shucks.

So...how do I build a kitkat kernel?

[rrileypm]

That's something I haven't gotten into.

Sorry for my bad English, but if you make ROM 4.4 for pipo m6 max, I can test it. Sorry once again.

4.4.2 kernel

Well...shucks.

So...how do I build a kitkat kernel?

I found this link that points to the 4.4.2 kernel sources of some other rk3188 devices. Could this be a starting point for building one for the Max-M6?

I had all this issues as well.
Returned back to: Pipo_M6_wifi_RileyROM_1.3.

The best rom in my opinion.

Thanks for this. I installed frontier rom and things are much better now. I thought my tab was broken, while it was this ROM all along.

1.3?

hi,

I just re flashed riley rom 1.3, cos i was nearly binned the tablet, it was so slow and laggy wit v1.9 and 2.0 even with over clocked kernel... was totally useless after 15-20 mins....

is frontier much better, quicker?

It still lags a lot, but at least wakes up every time I press the power button. With 2.0 rom it was hanging during sleep daily, so I had to perform a reset through that tiny hole in the back and then to boot the tab... It was a nightmare.

I also tried installing CrossBreeder, but it's still very slow while browsing.
