Hi Oma.

I was hopeless to get CM 12.1 on my P9.

Bust yesterday, discovered and installed your ROM on my P9: what a terrific job !

Thank you for this amaizing rom.

Just one request and some feedback.

Could you please make a version for the wifi only tablet and the volume soft buttons back ?

About the feedback, everithing works: the camera, flash, GPS (a bit slow to get a fix). No lags, everythig fluid.

Nevertheless, the bluetooth switshes on automatically, even after I desactivated it and when I wake up the tablet, I get many times the message "SD card preparation. SD card cheking for errors" (translated from French).

Many thanks again.

Bernard

Thank you for feedback!

Rockchip is still closed source, so everything is very time consuming reverse engineering. There are a few things which may look strange (BT on by default, sdcard prepartion) but overall functionallity is there.

I am also not happy with the UI without volume buttons but the code did not compile, so I gave it up. Sorry. Pls use the included Volume app (see download pack).

I do understand the time issue and, again: a huge thank. I had before a custom ROM without GPS and camera flash.

I've added the virtual volume buttons: its perfect.

One last thing. How could I add the android email app wich exchange services ?

Which app do you mean? The Google Email app? This one is discontinued.

It's ok.

I just discovered that the google mail app handles exchange accounts.

Hell Oma.

My tablet is the one without GSM.I have frozen the phone services and switched on the plane mode.

But the battery still drains. Stating at 100%, after one hour without any activity, I've lost 12% power because of the mobile radio. Would you have any suggestion to dix this ?

Negative. There is no such battery drain (with or without GSM services). Pipo just failed to implement a valid PMU driver/table.

Without kernel sources no chance to deal with this.
