Updating the Pipo M9

I tried Pipo-M9-Pro-RileyROM-2-7-KitKat 2.7.2 on my Pipo M9. It looks good and is much faster than the Finless Jellybean ROM, but it has a battery problem and more importantly Linuxdeploy fails with permissioning errors. This is a KitKat issue I believe. Other minor issues:
Screen rotation:

It's a problem with occurs mostly when using the stock launcher. If you use another like Nova or Apex, then the problem don't exist.

GPS:

I do sync time with NTPSync before trying the first time, maybe that's the trick.

So back to JellyBean, not with the Finless ROM this time but Pipo-M9-Pro-RileyROM-2-7-Jellybean. Fast and clean, the only gripe is the slow boot time.

Java on the Raspberry Pi

Since update 40 Oracle's Java 7  JDK supports ARM HF, so I believe offers no great performance advantage over Java 8. My Java 8 seems to have been wiped out, probably by the Wolfram install.

pi@raspberrypi /etc/alternatives $ java -version
java version "1.7.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.0-b56, mixed mode)
pi@raspberrypi /etc/alternatives $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There is only one alternative in link group java (providing /usr/bin/java): /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-7-oracle-armhf/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure.
Update from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
