Correct. Some evervolv changes maybe to a different part of the source which affects the tenderloin and possible other devices so the tenderloin might not be mentioned. If its a tenderloin specific they tenderloin will be mentioned.

May plan maybe wrong, but I said with not fully understanding. Thanks for the information, I apreciate your feedback and will try my best to understand the logs as time goes on.

I'm looking at the logs that comes everyday with the Evervolv download site. I realize my plan of action may be wrong. I just hope as time allows me that I will understand the logs more clearly. I thank you for you feedback and will try my best to understand the logs.

Thank you for your feedback, if I see no device name in the start of an entry, that it may be for all devices. Its all a learning curve and it times for me to work things out.

Thank you all.

How to Fix MTP USB DRIVER problem in Windows 7 64-bit

Since upgrading to Evervolv 3.3.0p1, I’ve been trying to use the MTP USB Driver and every time it would fail.

Though I was unsuccessful in my Google searches, I never found a solution to make it work for me.

What I did was search for files on my Windows 7 64-bit PC for any combination of mtp and I found 2 files in the C:\Windows\Inf with mtp, they were wpdmtp.inf and wpdmtp.PNF. I tried to install the .inf file but I was unsuccessful. Then I rename the wpdmtp.inf file so I would still have it in case something happened.

I plug the USB cable from my Windows 7 64-bit PC to my HP TouchPad and would you believe it actually worked. I even rebooted my PC and just plugging the PC and the TouchPad worked. Once done, be sure to EJECT the HP TouchPad as you would when you used WebOS.

I can’t speak for other Windows Operating System, but all I can say is, this worked for me.

Hi all

I'm struggling to update. I started on evervolv with the Sep 28 nightly and have been very happy with it, no problems at all and much faster than the CM9 rom I had been using.

I am able to install later builds from CWM without errors but when I boot into evervolv the clock always force closes and the tablet doesn't connect to my google account (my signal indicator never turns blue). I can browse the web no problems but it just never logs in to my google account.

I thought perhaps I was unlucky and downloading a build with bugs but I have tried Nov 5 and 4 and also Oct 31 which others are reporting working fine. When I nand restore from my Sep 28 backup it works fine again.

Any thoughts please?

thanks

Paul
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I flash gapps when I flash a update. I had problems with play store until I started doing that.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
You need to flash gapps again as any update on install will format the system partition.
[TouchPad Development] frumpy:
Flashing gapps (and clearing clock cache and data on reboot) worked for me. Thanks!

Wow!
[TouchPad Development] gedas5:
Great to see that HP Touchpad is not abandoned yet and there are devs still dedicating their time and passion working on it. Keep it up!
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Still needs a lot of work its extremely slow no audio or WiFi but finally got it to load 8). Ill keep you all posted but please don't expect anything too soon. 8)
[TouchPad Development] a2000rick:
does the touchpad get bricked if battery runs out with this rom? I know that was a problem with android in the past.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
No the kernel has it programmed to think that 3% is 0% to eliminate that issue. I have run my tp down all the time.
[TouchPad Development] a2000rick:
good to hear. will it eventually permanently die if I don't charge it for a year lets say, or would I be able to bring it back to life somehow?
[TouchPad Development] iamdestruktor:
So I just flashed this today. Now it seems I can't charge with the stock charger. Has anyone encountered this?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
For whatever reason, when the developers switched to using MTP to connect one's TouchPad to their PC, it is no longer required to eject the tablet like one has to do when connected in USB mode in WebOS. I believe one won't even find a option to eject when right clicking on "tenderloin" in Windows Explorer.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Did you install Evervolv over the top of CM9 or ACMEUninstall, and clean install CM10.2 using ACMEInstaller3? Depending on which Gapps file you used, you may even need to increase your /system partition a bit more. JB 4.3 and Googles Gapps file probably need more /system memory than ACME3 provides for.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Check settings/storage, three dots upper R/H corner and make sure MTP has a check by it. It also could be a coincidence that you started having a problem with either your USB cable or wall charger.
[TouchPad Development] iamdestruktor:
Thanks. I actually didn't have three dots in SETTINGS>STORAGE. I simply did a wipe and reflashed.

But I have another stupid question. I thought gapps/play store was already in this ROM? Or am I just blind?
[TouchPad Development] garux:
It shows up in Windows Explorer just like it does in WebOS when you attach the USB cable, and also you can transfer files the same as in WebOS. When I am done, as a normal practice, I always EJECT, in this case the HP TouchPad. You will see the HP TouchPad in Windows Explorer, at least I am seeing it. By right clicking the HP TouchPad in Windows Explorer, you do have the option to EJECT. Under Windows Device Manager is shows up as USB Mass Storage.

I was only sharing how I got it to work with Windows 7 64-bit version, which works fine on both of my Windows 7 64-bit version PC's.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
You need to flash the 20130813 gapps every time you flash the ROM.

4.4 update

Have it running very smooth.

What doesn't work:

WIFI

Sd mounting

Audio

Working on sd card and audio right now hopefully have at least the sd card mounting tonight and some good work on the audio. Once that is done off to the wifi. Also working on 2 other devices as I'm doing this. I love new releases 8). Once those three are up and running ill release a test I might release something sooner if those take me a while so you can take it out for a test drive.

Well just wanted to update everyone.

Flintman
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
You are unbelievable.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Can't forget about the entire Evervolv team for getting 4.4 merged and getting it up to snuff..
[TouchPad Development] nickster1:
This is exciting news indeed! Can't wait to play with 4.4. Thank you Flintman.
[TouchPad Development] ndinfla:
Hell I just flashed 4.3 and love it. C Excited to see how the TP handles 4.4 !
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
GREAT!!!!! But just had to ask... Does the "What doesn't work:" list mean that Bluetooth is on the way.... Or did BT not even made the Doesn't list.. :laugh:

Can't wait for 4.4.... Thanks FlintMan & Evervolv Team..

Extra ?... What size partition will 4.4 need ???
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
No sorry no bluetooth yet i should have added that but haven't had in so long that i forgot too. It's a long process that i have been pecking away at in my spare time which is not alot.

On a happy note the sdcard is mounting and UMS working great. Audio and wifi in the works those might take a little longer as some of the source needs updating but we are working on getting those updated now

Partition wise i'm still running the same i believe 500mb was the original size but haven't tried adding in gapps just yet but do have room to spare so far. 8)
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Cool... Good to hear... Even better we won't need to mess with partitions again... Keep us posted... We can't wait to join in the KitKat fun... Have u notice any difference with their Google ART runtime on the touchpad ???

:laugh: WOW.... Tenderloin is getting updated faster then even the official Nexus 4 :laugh:
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Haven't switch over to are still using dalvik just working on getting things going then ill give it a run
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
This is almost too cool!
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
ART is broken also ill look at that after everything is up and running as it's still not a release and still being worked on.
[TouchPad Development] deviousmrtaco:
Great work flintman :D, you got it up and running on the old 2.6.35 kernel still? dang you're a beast
[TouchPad Development] acetone802000:
Hello, i have an small problem with this rom,

I can't set MTP, i don't have 3 dot in storage settings and windows (8.1 x64) don't reconize the touchpad. (in windows 8.1 i don't find USB Mass Storage Device)
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
This rom doesn't support MTP at the moment.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
UPDATE: Audio working. Just going to do a little more testing on this today and maybe when i get home from work i'll post a link to be able to take kitkat out for a test ride. There still are a few things that a broken WIFI, BT, and a few other things.
[TouchPad Development] acetone802000:
Thank'you very much for your reply, i'll try another rom, i need transfering some files with USB.
[TouchPad Development] sixtythreechevy:
Once WiFi works, dd.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Maybe before if i don't get WiFi working today just so you all can take it out for a little test ride
[TouchPad Development] RolandDeschain79:
Thank you Flintman this is some fantastic news, I can't wait to test out some sweet kitkat:good: You really have made some incredible progress considering how new Kitkat is, things certainly are Evervolving :laugh:
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
You can still do this with this rom. Just not thru MTP. Also make sure you turn off USB Debugging. Here are 2 earlier posts on USB connections.

BTW... Anybody else having problems downloading the 11/9/2013 nightly from the site. It seems the server freezes after a few kb's been downloaded. And it also says it will take close to 2 hours to download???? :confused:

NVM... Seems to be going a bit quicker now. Although it will take over an hour. Gonna try the latest nightley with PA's 4.4 Gapps.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
There is a lot of activity on the server right now so may be a bit slow
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Test drive

Here is what i know doesn't work:

Wifi --Just got it working

Bluetooth -- On hold for now

Camera -- Next after WIFI

ART -- Next after everything is working

Unsure of certain video formats

Reboot into recovery and webos --hasn't been added to source yet

Probably other stuff just haven't been looking to far

This is a pre-alpha i'm not responsible to any damages device, lost data, bricking of device yada yada yada. You know the drill.

Since i just got the wifi working give me a few to test out and will post the link for all to play
[TouchPad Development] spunker88:
Haven't used 4.4 at all so its awesome to have something to test, thanks. Installed fine, but seems to have wiped my internal SD card. But I was anticipating something going wrong anyways, so there wasn't anything important on it.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Interesting on the SD card i have yet to experience it. I have a new one that will be going up soon fixed wifi but browser is broken. Firefox works though. Oh BTW still able to keep the stock partition size even with install gapps. KK Gapps i'm using from HERE. Might want to start downloading as it takes a while 8)
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Here is what i know doesn't work:

Bluetooth -- On hold for now

Camera

ART

Reboot into recovery and webos

Report of wiping of SDCARD

Videos don't play yet

Stock browser is broken you can use firefox from the playstore that works

probably more

[TouchPad Development] spunker88:
Reinstalled the same ROM zip and it left my SD card alone, maybe I accidentally wiped the SD in TWRP when I was wiping everything else. If nobody else has the issue, it must have just been me
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
OK. I wanted to post it just to be sure. Lets see if anyone else has that issue
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I have done a full wipe and clean flash an a dirty flash over 4.3. I used 4.4 gapps. Quadrant score was same as 4.3. Heavy graphics games that I had, EA NFS won't run, and the other one disappeared.

Great job as usual Flintman.
[TouchPad Development] gedas5:
@ flintman

Thank you for posting very early build of 4.4 for testing. Just tried it and everything is working as explained just WiFi looks line as soon as it is turned on it restarts the device. But great job anyway. Seriously never thought that we would have 4.4 on Touchpad. Amazing work.
[TouchPad Development] gradular:
Great job so far! Word of warning. If you don't know much except to flash roms, don't flash this yet. This is just to mess with as there are hidden bugs everywhere that will have to be found and fixed.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Thought I would make you aware that ACMEInstaller4 and 5 is in the works, sets the /system to 500mb/600mb respectively. New ACMEUninstaller that new removes uImage.TWRP and Evervolv Rom uImage.

[TouchPad Development] gedas5:
@ flintman

Most of the things seem to be working but just the only problem is that as soon as you turn on WiFi the device restarts. But I'm not sure if you are experiencing the same issue.
[TouchPad Development] crhylove:
So far ROM is pretty stable/fast! Aosp keyboard is a little weird, no swipe. Google keyboard just crashes. Over all though very usable already! One more question, why is there only 1 home screen, and where to add more?

You just have to install a 3rd party app, I tried AnTuTu CPU Master and it works fine, lets you go up to 1782Mhz

Haven't messed with W8.1... But wonder if USB Storage is just a regedit away... Is u'r W8.1 running with the USB Storage defaulted to disable aka DWORD value @ 4 ???

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

U can install CM10.2 without using a datamedia supported recovery... U just need more space in Android (System) & Android (Data)... Which should be easier with the new AcmeInstaller's or with

Ape's Data Partition Size Changer ZIPS...
[TouchPad Development] dplane:
Can't wait to try 4.4..awesome stuff flintman. Sounds like it's just shy of being an acceptable DD so I may hold off til the next alpha/beta update before giving it a spin. :fingers-crossed:
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You know the data media version of CM was created by Milaq not Flintman right? I think you should be asking Milaq this.
[TouchPad Development] gradular:
Flintman is using datamedia file structure.

Just loaded 4.4. Runs a lot smoother. So far I like what I see still... look forward to seeing what it will finish like. Thank you Flintman!

Hi Roland,

Is there any chance you tested Seeder 2.0.0 with 4.3 and/or 4.4? Is this application worth to get for out TouchPad's?

[TouchPad Development] crhylove:
Am i the only one with no swipe and only one home screen? ?

[TouchPad Development] theechap:
I believe KitKat dynamically adds/subtracts home screens as you need them. Try to add a shortcut to your home screen and then drag it the side and it will create a new page you.
[TouchPad Development] crhylove:
You are very right. I'm retarded. How long was the first boot for you guys when you enabled art? Seems it's taking forever..... :)

Now realized art isn't set up.... Doh! Reflashed..... Rom probably needs its own thread now, no? I'm using it as DD.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Will start a new one once i straighten out this code. Just wanted to let you all take it out for a quick run.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
With all the issues I see happening with the Milaq build of 4.3 and how well Evervolv 4.3 runs without data media involvement, I was hoping

Flintman we keep Evervolv data media free. It's creating an environment that is going over the heads of the average user.

Oh well, we're getting close to the end of life cycle of the TouchPad anyway and people are going to be moving on to other tablets.
[TouchPad Development] HashTagHell:
I hear you man. The strange part is look at how far the touchpad has made it. I recently picked up the Nexus 7, but the Touchpad still gets used daily by me or someone else.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I don't think that Evervolv uses the data/media. If it does the implementation was very clean.

I am not sure if these tablets are end of life with the developers continuing to put out these new ROMS. The new ones are nice, thinner, lighter, faster, etc. but these things work and they work well. I also think that they are very durable. My tablets live a rough life and they do not break. If you go to Best Buy today, these HPTPs' that we have are more current, in respect to software, than 9 out of 10 tablets on the shelf.

Thanks to Flintman and all of the developers that keep these tablets current, I am amazed that it just keeps going and going and going.
[TouchPad Development] iamdestruktor:
Is there a way to keep WiFi always connected? It only connects a few seconds after I wake my screen up.
[TouchPad Development] Oldpapa49:
I suggest to have it set to only when charging while it connects to wifi, otherwise your battery life will suffer big time.

Might be an option for wifi to pop on to check emails and stuff.. but again, when asleep, much rather have battery when it wakes and let it catch up
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Check Wifi 3 dot menu, Advanced, Keep Wifi on during sleep, and turn Wi-Fi optimization off. I listen to streaming music all day, check my XDA and some browsing and get about 9 hours.
[TouchPad Development] crhylove:
End of life for tp is when i can't buy more on eBay. ☺

kit kat HP touchpad!
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Be careful when u turn off Wi-Fi optimization & leave the TP on u'r Touchstone... My TP was in mint condition until a couple of weeks ago I turned off the Wi-Fi optimization when I got tired of downloads pausing each time it went to sleep & left it on the Touchstone over night... It became crazy hot & it turned off & worst of all the two slivers of plastic close to the speakers fractured on both ends...
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Thanks for the warning, I just bought a touchstone on Ebay, maybe I won't use it. I have never had my tablet getting warm while charging with the hp usb wall charger. Is that a possible problem with the Touchstone?
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
I've had my TP on the TouchStone for weeks at a time... With no major problems or overheating... But I think the combination of that setting & the touchstone causes the problem... Might play with that setting the touchstone some more to see if there is a way to bypass the problem...
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Overheating occurs in the battery or, in the case of the usb, at the barrel charger. If you use the tablet in a way that causes the battery to discharge enough to fool the charger into charging at the same time, you can overheat the battery, which is what probably occurred in your case. Be very careful about trying to use the TP while you're charging it. Using wifi, watching streaming video, etc. should be done on battery only. You can probably get away with it on usb because the back of the TP is probably dissipating the heat to the environment, but on the Touchstone, the heat isn't being dissipated very effectively, so the temperatures build up.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Should we uncheck the " ALWAYS ON WHILE CHARGING" that is in the Developer options?
[TouchPad Development] dplane:
Hmm so the 4.4 test build is interesting and WiFi connects fine and great but don't know what gapps to use (if there are any for 4.4)?
[TouchPad Development] RolandDeschain79:
Great Pre-Alpha Build!

Get it from the above link:)

Wow Flintman,I've been testing out the pre Alpha 4.4 rom and it runs very well. I got an Antutu Benchmark score of 8977(default clocks) I was able to play H/W video from YouTube and local content (MP4), so I guess you fixed that:good: Some files and folders on my SDcard were deleted. Things I had added like bootanimations and .img files were gone but not all of them. Files in regular Android related folders were still there like, Music and Movies. I installed by wiping System data, and cache and flashing the Rom and gapps through recovery. I had problems using the Dolphin browser but Chrome and Firefox worked fine for me. The battery drain during sleep is getting down as low as -4mA but there's a bit of medium spiking.

All in all an incredible first build, thank you for letting us take if for a test drive:D Keep up the great work I'm just thrilled to be testing out the latest Android 4.4 Kitkat on my HP TouchPad!)
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Yeap... Had folders disappear here too... Specially the folder where I keep all my roms & gapps & side loading APK's for easy re-flashing... For a second I thought it was the updated TWRP & CWM6 .zip's from iMarcK90 that might of caused it... After trying to replicate the deletion of the files with the recoveries... I couldn't... So it was the Rom installation...

On my first install I used the latest 4.4 Mini PA-Gapps & added the Chrome & Keyboard addons... For me neither stock or Chrome browsers work... And there was a very annoying bug for the keyboard... When trying to go back to the home screen from the Apps drawer or other open windows It would raise up the keyboard... It seems specially when hitting the recent apps & then either hitting anywhere on the screen or hitting the home button ... It seems when it goes back it thinks I am automatically trying to type in a search in the static search bar on the top...

Still, very glad I took a taste at kitkat... Great work FlintMan... Keep us posted.. We really enjoy knowing what's being worked on & how are things coming along...

? for FlintMan - Do u prefer 3rd party logging for bugs... Or do u prefer we use the built in logger from Evervolv ????

Update - Seems the DPI settins might be what is causing the keyboard issue.. Gonna test it out... Some one posted on another site that the DPI should be 361 + for the keyboard popup problem to go away... Never mind... Did no work for me & did not work for the guy that posted the possible solution.

Moving over to the new Evervolv KitKat thread for discussion on this...
