Official ROM
* 27th Mar 2019, Android: 8.0.0 custom build Hipad_v1.0_20190327: Download
- Kernel 3.18.60
- IMHO touch screen finally works good.
It seems that the touch screen a little bit more responsive than with Hipad_v1.1_20181107. But not overresponsive like with Hipad_v1.1_20190111 firmware.
I have the problem with phantom/ghost touches with Hipad_v1.1_20190111 firmware.

Thanks for the posting, however, it is not there, and will likely never be there. Not sure how many people still have this.
I bought it from Amazon, returned it for another one, same touch problem. I will never buy Chuwi again, thought of smashing it many times...
Without any knowledge or experience, personally, I'm suspecting the metal back cover might be the culprit. Been playing the word game on it for a while, when resuming the game, connecting letters, the first connecting point is somewhere on the edge of the screen, it will only happen first resuming and once.
Hoping someone has the ability and will to fix the touching problem. Chuwi doesn't care.
Without the touching issue, this IS the best deal tablet!
Good luck everyone still holding the dreaded Chuwi Hipad 10!
My Chuwi is a Hi9, with Android 8, and I bought it to use it to read books, like a Tinder.
The idea was that with the Chuwi I could do other things too, like viewing films or gaming.
Well, after some time, during which my wife used it for gaming, I'm trying to make it work for reading.
The main problem was to find a free reading program that I could use, and All PDF seems reasonable. If there's a better one please do tell me.
My first problem, as I'm quite ignorant on Android things, is how to manage the files. So I installed File Manager, but it seems different from PC's FM. I don't know how to open a folder to put the files in. Moving things around is a question mark.
The second is to enter the files into the tablet, as it doesn't seem to see the USB input. Also tried a BT interface with my laptop (my PC has no BT), but I don't seem to make it work. The most I could get with BT was to pair with my cell phone.
So I'm using a weird way to move the files, using Gmail. But now I need a folder to put the files in.
Any suggestions for some of these issues? Thanks!

Many, many thanks to the OP and XDA.
Chuwi Hipad 10 was a very tempting tablet, except the intermittent briefly lost touch response. There are many choices for tablets, except Chuwi.

I was able to get a HiPad X at a decent price on Amazon. I'm VERY impressed with the bang for the buck. However, the ONLY thing I can't get working (and why I bought it) is Youtube TV.
I've gone through all the regular stuff - clear cache, uninstall/reinstall, factory reset, added every place I could find to enter permissions (especially location and data), and tried watching YT TV in Chrome (no-go), but I'm constantly running into "There was a problem while playing" with a Video ID error. The tablet was meant to be used on Wifi only, but I've also inserted a SIM card with no change. There is a hint out there about changing the APN setting to IPv4 only, but I'm unable to make any changes to a VZW APN in settings.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what else to open or reset or grant permission to. I have an email into their tech support, but so far has been lackluster (as well as sending in reports to Google).
Has anyone come across this before? My laptop, Samsung S22 Ultra, and Samsung TV all stream just fine on my wifi. If any more info is needed, I'd be glad to provide it. Else I'm afraid I'm going to have to return it for another tablet solution. TIA!

Could you please share that original boot.img? Or maybe point to where I can find it? My Hipad X is currently in boot loop after trying to patch the boot file.

12Little review and tablet issues:
Dissasembling Chuwi HIPAD for repairing (screen, battery, ...)
Development: Rooting, Recovery, ROMS
I would like to create a comprehensive list of Rooting, recovery, possible ROMS, that may appear for this recent tablet in the future. The tablet is new and not very well known for most people yet, so we might have to wait a bit until other users start to find some value in this budget powerful tablet, depite of the caveats we have already found.
Flashing Process with SP Flash Tool (no unlock needed)
Rooting process
TWRP process
At this moment we don't have a TWRP or any other recovery compatible with this hardware, stay tunned.
Official ROMs
* 11th Jan 2019, Android: 8.0.0 custom build Hipad_v1.1_20190111: Download
- Big improvement in the touch screen, It seems that the touch screen it's a little bit more responsive
- New kernel 3.18.60
* 6th Nov 2018, Android: 8.0.0 custom build Hipad_v1.1_20181107 Download
- Slight improvement in the touch screen
Other ROMS
We don't have any custom ROMS available yet
Let's see if some ROM devs want to test this and make a custom ROM like Resurrection Remix 6 (based on Oreo).
Updates
- This tablet will be updated mid-2019 to Android 9.0 Pie: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78278868&postcount=9942Big update today:
1. There is a new ROM ready to install from 11th January. Touch screen is working way better than before. If you don't want to unlock the device you can flash it via SP Flash tool. Instructions and ROM in the first post.
2. I've been able to flash a semi-functional TWRP
The only problem is that I've not been able to enable the decrypt password prompt (I always use encryption for my /data). When I solve this issue I will upload the TWRP img in case anyone wants to test it.
With TWRP on place this will be useful to install new test ROMs1
so i just ordered an alldocube tablet, similar x27 chipset and i've been doing some research before it arrive:
apart from the random touchscreen issue, i think the main problem is with the helios x20 series chipset, is it struggles with responsiveness and "short burst" tasks. i am new user can't post links so just google and run "kraken javascript benchmark" in browser.
the a72 cores in helios x20 should mean you score ~4000 here, but typically i see 9000-10000 in reviews for devices using this chipset. so the problem reported is it is not even utilizing these fast cores in these short bursty tasks. of course this is good for battery saving, but bad for performance/responsiveness.
for longer running benchmarks like geekbench, antutu the cores become active and are OK
so there have been some solutions, for example the meizu 6 got updated firmware that boosts the cores more aggressively, and anandtech review said benchmark results improved 2-2.5x, but they don't say how they do this
some portion of the redmi note 4 phones also use the x20 chipset, it is more laggy than the snapdragon counterpart, and there have been a few tweaks in their forums, this one looks promising to me, google "Redmi note 4 (mtk) better gaming Learn how to get the most out of it (root)"
it seems you first disable the mtk perfservice, so the system uses the default cpu governor. then you make some tweaks
of course you need root and you do this at your own risk etc so make sure you read the miui thread and understand before using the code, also it is a good idea to note down the system default values before you change them, for when you want to revert back.
from the thread here is some recommended code for light gaming and general use to improve response, comments are my interpretation of what it does:
Code:#background "real time" priority task 0.01ms time allocation echo 10000 > /dev/cpuctl/bg_non_interactive/cpu.rt_runtime_us #time between when scheduler reschedules 0.95ms for "real time" priority task echo 950000 > /dev/cpuctl/cpu.rt_runtime_us #default time allocated by scheduler for "real time" priority task 1ms echo 1000000 > /dev/cpuctl/cpu.rt_period_us #this is feature to take in to account number of cores for allotting time, turn it off to increase response time echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_tunable_scaling #dynamic voltage frequency scheduler for gpu on echo 1 > /proc/mali/dvfs_enable #ignore thermal for gpu on, since the cpu a72 cores echo 1 > /proc/gpufreq/gpufreq_limited_thermal_ignore heat up and cause throttling # apparently this unlocks the a72 cores echo 0 > /proc/ppm/policy/hica_is_limit_big_freq
i think this or some other code on that thread can help the system utilize the strong a72 cores, increasing performance but at expense of battery, if you can tweak it such that Kraken benchmark gets close to 4000 score with acceptable battery, i think it is big success.1To get the stock recovery is simple. For those that have already rooted with my method:
1. Install the app Diskinfo
2. Enable all partitions in the settings
3. Theorically there should appear a partition like /dev/block/mmcblk0pXX (XX is two numbers)
4. Download Terminal emualtor
5. Run the command "su"
6. Run the command "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pXX of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img" (remember to replace the XX with the number of the partition of the recovery)
Also can be found in the log with Terminal emulator:
1. Command: "cat /cache/recovery/last_log | grep recovery"
And will get a line like:
19 /recovery emmc /dev/block/...
And then with the path (/dev/block/... ) just need to edit the dd if=/path/... of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img

It's not an OTA update yet. But it's official by the Chuwi team. 100% recommendedHi
This is a official update? I don't have it in "definitions»Updates"...
