Gents,

Marshmallow has landed on Pipo P9 ;-)

new: kernel for better battery stats (change in folder rockdev/Image before flash)

CrewRKTablets RK32 P9 MM 6.0.1 build v1.1a

– stock recovery 5.0.0
– recovery TWRP 2.8.7.0
– sekernel #69
– unified storage
– Multi-Windows
– Stagefright patch
– SuperSU
– Viper4AndroidFX
– Reboot Menue
– Xposed Framework compatible
– Netflix compatible
– Kodi 16.0 compatible

=====================================================

if the tab stops with starting apps/bootloop then start flashmodus by holding
Power & Esc, flash the TWRP and install the P9 lens fix

For other Pipo tabs change files in folder rockdev/Image before flash and install
the model fix via TWRP:

- P4 kernel #70 , model fix

- P7 kernel #65 , model fix

- P1 kernel #24 , model fix - use CPU Awake (see PlayStore) when kernel #24 shows deep sleep issues

=====================================================

hints:
– instructions are included in the download pack
– to enable development options tap 5 times on build number
– multi-window mode: enable in settings/developer options
– better UI performance: set all animation scales to 0 in settings/developer options
– mass_storage mode is gone in Android 6.0 > use MTP
– to mount an USB stick use Chainfire StickMount app (see PlayStore)

– Oma's favourite apps for MM
– Xposed Framework starter pack

>>> to go back to KK pls stay with the included loader or use the stock v2.19 loader

Be aware: it is your own risk!

Xposed Framwork works good. So, with GravityBox MM and Layers Manager (enables the hidden MM theme engine) one should be fine in any way 😉

I have selected the USB for file transfer, PC detects the tab but can't browse it as a storage device (P4).

I noticed that here, too. Pls try to unplug and plug the USB cable.

Ok, to avoid this pls use the USB Configuration in developer options.

Hi Oma,

Thanks for the rom

I have encountered an issue with youtube and google chrome, it is impossible to add an account or login with one on this rom, im sure other google related sign in is affected in other apps too.

To produce the error simply press sign in, in the youtube app, a popup will appear asking you to select your account in this case i have added several accounts and removed them all, however none show up, if you do proceed to add the account if you try you will either get no sucess or be informed the account is already added yet not signed in.

Right now im using OGYoutube with xposed sign in fix for google play services for an alternative but it would be great to be able to use chrome and youtube again.

If you have any suggestions please do tell me!

EDIT::

Its new 6.0 per-app permissions, enabled in app info app works now, carry on.

Such things could frequently happen when a new gmscore is released to the field. In a new build let first the PlayStore update. Then download other google apps (i.e. Youtube, Maps, etc.) until one of them forces a Play Service (gmscore) update. Then one should be fine.

Edit: just flashed the build and it works flawlessly here. Not really sure what you issue is/was.

I have installed this rom and its amazing.

I was stuck with 5.1.1 and unable to downgrade so I'm in the clouds to be able to run from that mess that is the 5.1.1.

To install this MM I had to also install the lens fix as my tablet wasen't booting. Thank you for this also. You are a star!

For the time I've been using it, I just have this to say:

- Misses battery percentage

- No option for HD Video recording

- The auto-rotation does not seem to be 100%

Other than this, its great!

Also worth menioning the following:

- Like LP version, screen often does not turn on. Have to turn off, wait few secs and turn on by long press on Power key

- With the tablet on, battery holds well. With screen off, battery drains very fast, even with deep sleep option active. This was also an issue in LP. I think has something to do with the telephone module and stuff. Since my tablet is wi-fi version, is there a way to delete all things related to phone, mms, sms, 3G, etc? Might help...

Here is the requested Screenshot

Hm, I do see battery stats. What do you mean by "Misses battery percentage" exactly?

As we use the LP kernel here it will give you the same issues. The battery stats will give you a not real picture/feeling of the drain. It depends on which "phase" (red or blue, see picture) you are. The AOSP build is good for 6-8 hours usage.

As for the screen wake up issue I do not have this on my hardware revision. It seems to be specific for the tabs with the Goodix touch and the other Camera Lens. But I guess one can live with it.
