Hello to all,

I own iFIVE mini 4 where I run OMA ROM. My friend recently received iFIVE air, which I have ordered too, but not received yet.

There are some difference between mini 4 and air, so I am wondering if last OMA rom (kitkat 4.4.4) would also be suitable for this nice tablet. Before doing any stupidity I would like to get some opinions about this upgrade to OMA rom.

regards

We have also ordered one, should be arrieve in two weeks time

Every tab has its specific kernel. So, do not flash strange firmware into the tab.

If you will find the stock firmware on ifive or 5fans server pls let me know.

Thanks for quick reply. Nice to know about your order of iFIVE air which is quite good build tablet on first impression.

I already did some digging about stock firmware, but no luck so far.

Thanks for all good job on ROM's you did.

I have another question about RK3288. On various sites also here was listed, that RK3288 comes with Cortex A12 not A17. But recently I found updated datasheets for RK3288, where Cortex A17 is listed. The question is, does first batch comes with A12 and current production is A17? Recently I have Pipo P1 in my hands and I have checked CPU version, where A12 is cleary noticed.

Does any have some explanation for this?

Yes, it identifies itself as A12: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/rk3288-entwicklung-und-customroms-development-and-croms/rom-teclast-p90hd-4-4-2-custom-root-firmware-20140729/page-3/#p46025

However, ARM renamed A12 to variant of Cortex-A17 since second revision of the core in early 2014: http://community.arm.com/groups/processors/blog/2014/09/30/arm-cortex-a17-cortex-a12-processor-update

Hmm, like I remember it has Android 4.4.4 and Linux kernel was 3.10.0 (November build ???). For more I must ask a friend, but he is currently on some business trip.

By the way from where you ordered tablet, since I order one at aliexpress, but shippment is delayed due waiting for delivery!!!!
