[update]
Thanks to Angelo Machacuay, we have now Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with CWM and fixed G-sensor (autorotation is now working).
1. To install CWM on Pipo S1 first download the archive from here, here or here. Extract it and run RKAndroidTool.exe. Double click on recovery address and change it from '0x00010000' to '0x00014000'. Leave all the rest fields intact and press 'Flash Rom' button. Wait for the proccess to finish and reboot your tablet. You're done! [Optional] If you want to upgrade from CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7 to v6.0.2.8, then download this zip file (mirror1 & mirror2), copy it on your micro SD card, reboot into recovery and install it. See this video for details.
2. To install G-sensor fix. First download fix.gsensor.pipos1.120.zip from here, here or here. Copy it on micro SD card, install Quick Boot free from Play Store, run it and boot into recovery. Install zip from SD card and reboot. You're done!
