[Device Reviews and Information] StardustOne:
The Pipo P9 has a larger screen with lower pixel count than the iFive Air. The Pipo P9 can be charged using the Micro USB and/or the AC charger, this is also possible with the P1.

I don't like false advertizing, especially not with the CPU and GPU and I highly doubt that the RK3288 clocked at 1.8 GHz would have generated more heat than the aluminum case could cope with.

The biggest factor with power consumption is the screen brightness, not the CPU clock. I need to dim my scren to the lowest setting and it is still extremely bright.

With a higher clocked CPU I can always change the clock frequency to clock it at 1.6 GHz in case I want to. But since I pay for 1.8 and only get 1.6 GHz, I cannot clock it higher than 1.6.

Antutu 5.5 shows over 35000 points and Geekbench 3 reports 720 points with the single core test, very good. But all the lies, this needs to stop. It is chid's play and not very mature.

Ah just in case, the iFive Air does not have GPS and it is missing HDMI out, otherwise it is a very solid choice. The 5GHz WiFi works very well. But I regularly see red flashing frames around Chrome browser what is an indicator that the CPU is not powerful enough to cope with the browser's CPU power demand.

And because it also has ART support, I switched to ART from DALVIK. Big mistake. The iFive Air does not boot anymore and is stuck in the boot animation. There is now way to fix this and wow it get's better.

I cannot even flash a new firmware because the OMA ROM flashing method does not work. I always get Error "Match device type failed,stop running!".

How to recover from accidently switching to ART runtime switching (installing factory firmware):

You can download the factory firmware from the first post in this thread. The Factory Tool provided there will not work.

Download the Factory tool from this forum link, it will correctly work and show English Language when starting it up. You will also find the working RK3288 drivers there.

1. Install the drivers for the RK3288 (don't bother with the adb folder, just use the installer

2. power the iFive off

3. Start the Factory tool

4. Press Power button on the iFive and check if it is finding a loader entry with the USB tree shown in the factory log. If you do not see a Loader text, it won't work, e.g. if ADB is shown, nothing works, try powering it off and on until you see Loader as text next to an USB port.

5. Load the factory image using the appropriate button

6. Run the update. You will see progress next to the loader text.

7. Wait until the iFive flashes the ROM and do not remove the USB cable yet.

8. After the iFife tablet has booted up, remove the USB cable and close the Factory Tool.

Rooting the iFive Air:

1. If you would like to root the iFive Air, use Root Genius 1.8.7. You can download it from here.

1. Enable USB Debugging in the Settings and then start the tool Root Genius.

2. It will install drivers needed and after it recognizes the tablet you can then root the tablet using the green Root button.

3. Root Genius will install Kinguser.

4. Update the Kinguser program and then install Link2SD from the Google Play Store.

5. Link2SD will allow you to uninstall all the chinese programs.

Disable all the crappy utilities in the factory ROM (all with chinese signs) and you are set.

Warning: whatever you try, do not switch the iFive Air to ART runtime, it will not boot anymore after that.
