Fast unlock, boots to recovery

Hey Flintman I've been testing out the new build and its been great! It feels really snappy now when your unlock it, even seems to start up faster:highfive: It also boots right to your recovery no problem. Thank you so much for your steady progress with this highly evolved rom :good:
[TouchPad Development] agent00f:
Even on 7" tablets the tabletui is better. It's arguable more efficient even on phones because you only need to touch one edge of the device (instead of needing to stretch for both top and bottom).

The launchers unfortunately don't fix the status bars. Anyway, I would try to fix it myself if it's a one time thing like the jcsullins roms, but this rom is still being developed so it needs to be in the build.
[TouchPad Development] Mchasard:
Each time i reboot in recovery mode it reboot to evolved ...i have to choose manuelly the entry...is there a way to correct ...?

Thanks

The latest nightly fixes this issue. It may need to be a clean install. If you are running the latest nightly then please provide a logcat on reboot

Thanks

There is mod for Tablet UI for the CM roms. I tried it out on my CM10.2 HPTP but I switched it back after a few days. All of my other tablets are the new layout and I just couldn't find anything that compelling to switch to the old style. Just my opinion.
[TouchPad Development] agent00f:
What's interesting is that Matias Duarte commented on this when the regression happen and his excuse was that it maintains consistency to take advantage of "muscle memory". Maybe he or the study group had freakishly large hands but when I hold my phone the thumbs can naturally press the buttons (or even draw the notification shade) but don't even come close when the "same" interface on a tablet.

They prolly naively thought they can emulate the ipad's success by emulating the same terrible "big-phone" UI, but copying the competitors' worst tendencies isn't really the way to do this.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I guess I am a pointer and not a thumber.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I use my thumbs but i have giant hands so its like a phone to me 8)
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Added in reboot to webos from the reboot menu just to have if you want to
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Nice...

Keep seeing BT related notes in the nightly logs... Are those just upstream updates or addons or something more specific to getting BT working on Evervolv ??? :confused:
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I started on that last release and out it on hold. i plan on continuing it soon. But no guarantees. 8)
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Awesome... Just glad is not completely dormant... :victory:

Thanks again for all u'r awesome work... We might have a Final 4.3 before 4.4 comes out, yet... :good: That's lightning fast..:highfive: Way faster then Samsung, Asus & other manufacturer tablets are getting an upgrade to the latest Android..:laugh:
[TouchPad Development] JeremyNT:
For people who miss the old tablet ui, I would recommend an app called full!screen. It lets you get rid of the nav and status bars completely, on a per app basis even, and it allows you to place a pie style menu in the corner.

I'm not sure why Google killed tablet ui, I too find the phablet ui to be somewhat wasteful. However I find this app solution is actually the best of both worlds. No ui mods required at the os level, and even more screen real estate to work with when I need it.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I think I may have to eat crow on this one. I was a proponent of the new phablet ui. I tried this fullscreen app and it is pretty darn nice!

Wow, Flintman, you not only work Good, you work GREAT.

Audio problem appears to be fixed.

Reboot into WebOS works.

Reboot into Recovery works.

Random reboots fixed.

Also, I notice the version says Android Version 4.3.1

Thanks So Much for all your work.
[TouchPad Development] diglam:
Can someone test Bubbleupnp on this rom please ? Although my Nexus4 can find Dlna server, my touchpad can not find it and I just want to be sure is it related to rom.

Thank you for this great rom.

[TouchPad Development] garux:
Just tried full!screen, it pretty nice.
[TouchPad Development] rvandegrift:
Aha - tried a later build, fixed the issues with USB. The option for UMS is not under the menu in Storage anymore. You have to click the notification about USB - and it works perfectly.
[TouchPad Development] tft:
anyone know how i can get tablet UI? (notification bar at bottom with nav bar) and not separate top/bottom as it is now.
[TouchPad Development] garux:
Could some please tell me I am wrong. It appears the camera maybe working without the need of the Nexus 7 Camera software. Also, don't forget Android version is now 4.3.1.

Thanks So Much, Flintman.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
You shouldn't need the nexus launcher. If the camera icon isn't showing up you need to do a factory reset. It will reset the icon.
[TouchPad Development] tft:
can it leave one bar at bottom, like tablet UI? or just completely removes everything as the name implies?
[TouchPad Development] garux:
You can set it up for any application & you can still have accesss to the bottom when its not shown.
[TouchPad Development] tft:
thanks. ended up going back to CM 10 because at least it has working mods that renable tablet UI. on my s4 i love the top bar, but on my tablet i can't stand it.

i tried about 10 different mods for this rom to enable the UI but all attempts failed. this has to be one of the dumbest changes, it's like someone at google has nothing to do, and they just one day decide to turn tablet UIs into a phone.. certainly there better things they could be working on rather than fixing what isn't broke.
[TouchPad Development] spunker88:
Awesome ROM, I didn't have to mess with partition sizing. System was pretty low on space after installing this along with the full Gapps package so I deleted some of the larger unneeded Gapps system apks. Not a fan of the new tablet UI, but I didn't feel like staying on an old version of Android any longer.
[TouchPad Development] orangecream:
I don't really mind the phone ui instead of the tablet ui. It just makes moving between my phone and my touchpad easier. :) But yeah I love this build. I ran antutu on a touchpad with CM9 (overclocked to 1.5Ghz) and that scored 7608 points. My TP with this build scored 9174. Amazing!
[TouchPad Development] garux:
Please excuse my ignorance, could someone please explain the difference between data/factory reset vs format system, data & cache?

Touchscreen Issues

Great work on the 4.3 rom - appreciate the work that went into getting this out so quickly.

Is anyone else experiencing touchscreen issues with this rom? I'm having difficulty swipe typing as the words I'm swiping keep on getting broken up mid-word and auto correct kicks in. That's the most obvious issue, but I find myself having to tap multiple times for things that used to work on the first try with 4.2 roms. Just wanted to see if it's a common thing, and if there is a fix or patch I could try applying.
[TouchPad Development] RedWave31:
Hi everyone!

Looked a bit around, but can't find anything Sdcard-related in here...

Had problems mounting the UMS in windows, and last attempt now prevents the SDcard from mounting...

- CWM still can see the external sdcard, so that is just plain weird.

Terminal emulator commands can't make it (busybox mount etc)

That happened during a "click here to activate USB mount" thingy.

If anyone has any clue before i ACME/webdoctor all this stuff? Thanks ^^

Edit:

- Tried reflashing, doesn't work. Still haven't tried wiping data.

I have trouble with adb sideload, so i'm restraining from a full wipe option :(

Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Somewhere in this tresd is a step by step for windows users. Ill locate it and post it when I get to a pc

[TouchPad Development] RedWave31:
Erf, thank you but the problem is worse : the touchpad only sees the sdcard in recovery. Once in evolv, it doesn't show up. Guess trying to go ums did screw something.

Tried mounting and unmounting in recovery, doesn't change anything...

[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Send me a logcat and I can see what is going on
[TouchPad Development] spunker88:
The old tablet UI was nice in landscape mode with 2 hands. My left thumb could reach the software buttons and my right hand could reach the notification bar. Plus you could toggle stuff in the notification bar without leaving an app. For example I could adjust screen brightness without leaving a game.

But none of that is the fault of this ROM dev. They did an awesome job and this 2 year old tablet still feels fast. I pushed up the CPU all the way to 1.7Ghz and got 11547 in Antutu.
[TouchPad Development] RedWave31:
Hi,

Tried using the debug too, but it couldn't even upload to the server, so I ended up using webdoctor, and at least everything is back to normal (didn't even loose sdcard data). Guess something went wrong when trying to go UMS, staying with MTP since i'm good with it.

THanks anyway ;)
[TouchPad Development] rvandegrift:
I've experienced something similar with an unlock pattern - if I swipe the pattern too quickly, the tablet misses some of it and the wrong pattern is entered. I've not tried to fix it.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I will look into this tonight
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Confirm swipe on Google keyboard skips.
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
does this rom support datamedia;

and if no how can i installed on my touchpad , right now i am use datamedia cm10.2 roms
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I loaded the 10/19 Nightly and the Google keyboard swipe feature works great. Great job again Flintman.
[TouchPad Development] bundys:
I haven't seen any commits in the last couple builds, so don't see how the issue could have been resolved.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Did you try it? I tried it on Google keyboard. It would skip on the 10/16 and it didn't skip on 10/19.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I have been trying to duplicate the issue as i was running the 10/19 with no luck. Google may have had an issue and repaired it as some of the directories used to compile this rom are straight from Googles link. Ill test on an older version and see if i can duplicate. Does 10/19 fix the issue for everyone??
[TouchPad Development] bundys:
I'll try it later today and report my findings.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
If it does mess up try and get a logcat and dmesg. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] bundys:
Just tried the 10/20 build and swiping appears to work well.

BTW, any chance you could look at anti-aliassing the text for people who change their dpi to 132. The text looks fine at 160, but after changing to 132, text looks kinda rough.
[TouchPad Development] silvbm:
That would be really great, I've set my TP to 132dpi, too. Text looks way at 160dpi, but still way worse than in WebOs.
[TouchPad Development] bobrows:
How do I use the updater - step by step instruction out there somewhere?

I apologize in advance for not being able to find a complete step by step guide on how to update to the nightlies. This is the first evervolv rom I have used, and am not sure exactly how to apply the nightlies and what I will lose and have to rebuild.

Right now I installed the 10-15 nightly on a clean install, then installed the 20130813 gapps and then ran the resizer to make the system partition 512MB. I am having a sleep battery drain of 162ma which is burning through the battery like nobodies business when sleeping.

I did do the A6 firmware fix too.

I know I have done something wrong, but everything else is working flawlessly!

I would like to upgrade to newer nightlies, and it looks like I have to reapply gapps, but is there a step by step guide somewhere I can read and understand? Also do I select the new nightly and a gapps, then do I touch the reboot? Wipe any caches? I know how to wipe them all in CWM, but I'd like to learn this tool. I can't seem to find a great detailed instruction.

Any help? I have been looking for a few days.

Thanks,

Bob

Dirty Flashing

Hey Bob,

If you've already got an Evervolv Rom installed then you want to do a dirty flash to update it. Just follow the directions in this video.

Note: You won't loose and Data doing a dirty flash.

[YOUTUBE]ROIJa1T4i84[/YOUTUBE]

Get all the info in this thread here [ROM GUIDE] How to install Android 4.2 and 4.3 Builds on the HP TouchPad

Go through this FAQ list and see if that helps with your battery drain(#3), after installing the latest Rom.

Notes, Fixes and Tweaks:

Note:The following are Solutions for the most Frequently asked questions and problems.

1)If the WiFi turns off in Sleep/suspend mode then uncheck wifi optimization.

Note:Turning off "WiFi optimization" might help to improve WiFi functionality.

-Settings/WiFi/3 Dots/Advanced/WiFi optimization (uncheck)

-In Shumash's Schizoid build you can find it @ RomControl/General

2)If the HP TouchPad isn't charging do the following. If MTP is already checked,then uncheck and recheck the option.

-To Enable MTP mode, Go to settings/storage, look for the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen, tap computer connection, make sure there is a check next to MTP.

-This will enable the TouchPad to transfer files and charge using the USB cable.

3)Turning off "network location services" might help to improve overall battery drain and longevity.

-Settings/location access/ access to my location set to off

-You may wish to monitor your battery drain history during sleep.

-Install the the free app Battery Monitor Widget:

-To setup the Battery Calibration correctly for the HP TouchPad,

-go to BMW settings/calibration/Battery capacity/ and set it to either 6300 (F29C) or 5800 (S29C) and tap OK

-Note* See the Battery p/n # on the original packaging.

Or

You can also use Cool-Tools to monitor your battery drain in real time.

-Watch the instructional video Here.

4)You can enable additional reboot options like recovery by enabling Developer options.

-Go to Settings/About Tablet/ Tap on "Build number" 7 times.

-A new menu will appear in the Settings/About Tablet/Developer options/ tab on the left.

-Check "Advanced reboot" to get the Recovery/Boot loader options.

5) When installing Roms and .zips with the ACMEInstaller3, you may need to add "update-" to the beginning of the file names or they won't flash correctly. Like so "update-cm-10.1-20130808-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-BLUETOOTH_TEST.zip"

6)If Moboot is displaying multiple Rom or recovery names that you are not currently using, then do the following.

-With a rooted File explorer go to root/boot/ and delete the unwanted uImage.( X) file to remove the entry from Moboot.

-Here you can also change the default boot option by editing the moboot.default as text.

-Also you can change the default recovery option by editing android.default.recovery

7)If you are unable to find the camera app install this Nexus 7 Camera Launcher:

-This will also make the camera preview full screen.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I just tried out 132 and the text is looking good. I'm thinking of switching it over to 132 vs 160. It's smaller but sharp. Also in landscape mode if you put an icon to the edge of the home screen it doesn't get cut off. Can you take a screen shot of what you are talking about?
[TouchPad Development] bundys:
I'll take a look and see if I can get some screenshots to compare this rom to something like cm 10 or 10.1 which looked good. Busy with work though, so it might take a couple days.
[TouchPad Development] bobrows:
Thanks Roland,

Yes, that is the way I flash now, I didn't know if the updater built into this ROM had a more automated way, or if I should just ignore it and stick to the method in your video.

Thanks for the help.

And Thanks Flintman! NICE!

Bob

Corrected by Flintman

You can download and flash right from the evervolv updates under settings. Remember to add in gapps before you you submit. This will reboot into recovery flash and reboot back to ROM when complete. You can choose to clear cache and or wipe data if required. This is my preferred method when i test a nightly.

[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Sounds great... Hope to use this update option from now on but I do have one request... I try to go as Googleless as possible... Only install the PlayStore instead of all the Gapps... And I try to download from the PlayStore only as last resort... And there for I end up sideloading a lot of apps... Any chance a root superuser file manager can be added into nightlies... This will be perfect for us that prefer sideloading apps when updating the rom without wanting to use a prior cwm backup... Right now I am manually adding CMFileManager.apk from the CM10.2 nightlies to the /system/app folder in this roms zip...

Uploaded the CMFileManager.apk in case u need it... Let me know what u think of adding a file manager to the nightlies.. And thanks for all u'r great work for the TP...

I am guessing u'r using the update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215 ??? Or are u sing TWRP???
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I use TWRP
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Cool... Will switch to that... I would also recommend adding the latest GooManager.apk to make it easy to switch from CWM to TWRP on the first install... (Actually all we would need is a File Manager... We can always sideload the GooManager.apk)

Right now in the Evervolv Updater Settings I only see a (WORK IN PROGRESS) & no other options.. I wonder if it's because I am using the old CWM... Will test it out...

Update: Just switched to TWRP but I think it should still work on the old CWM... Will test that later (Tried the old CWM & it didn't work correctly... So TWRP is best for this way of updating)... Was able to figure out how to us the Evervolv Updater... First download the file... Then click on the downloaded file... U will see a Lightning option added to the upper right corner... Click on it & now u can choose which recovery & options u want & u can also add a .zip file like Gapps u might want to flash at the same time... U do not go to the Settings page... U do it from the downloaded file options itself.... Uploaded some some pics of the steps...
[TouchPad Development] bundys:
So I finally had the chance to compare your ROM to CM 4.1.2 on my wife's TP, and I found a couple interesting things. The text on your ROM seems to be thicker, thus giving the illusion that it is not anti-aliased, but upon closer inspection the quality is about the same. In not sure if this is due to different Android versions using a slightly different font, or just something you're doing differently.

Take a peek at screen shots from the calendar app. BTW, it's not letting me upload images from my tablet so I'll include those when I have access to my computer.
[TouchPad Development] Spyeoka:
I can't figure it where play store is....

Can anyone help?
[TouchPad Development] Y314K:
Did u install the 4.3 Gapps aka Google Apps that includes Google Play Store ???

If not.. U might want to download the latest OFFICIAL 0-Day PA-GOOGLE APPS. Just make sure u download the 4.3 version...

Or u can go old school & install the one's most are using from August... Google JB 4.3 Gapps - 08/13/2013 (U flash them the same way u flash the ROM... Just make sure u clear the Dalvik & Cache...)
[TouchPad Development] Spyeoka:
I did but then it would freeze on first boot up. I'll try with the apps you stated thanks
[TouchPad Development] Spyeoka:
Thanks it works now.

unable to report problems

Hey Flintman,

I had a rebooting issue I wanted to report. I updated my Rom today(Build2013.11.02) and was charging the tablet. I got an email notification, pressed the home button and the tablet rebooted. I opened up the debug menu so that I could get you the logs but then I kept getting errors when uploading the info. Here is a screen shot of the message I keep getting when I try to upload the logs. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong:o
[TouchPad Development] thaiusmle:
I am on 11/1/13 ROM. Working perfectly.
[TouchPad Development] garux:
I am on 10/31/2013 rom. With not fully understanding the log, if idon't see tenderloin in the log, I dont' flash.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
That plan is not completely correct. For instance, the 10/30 build did not work. Flintman fixed it in the 10/31 build and the rom worked fine. In both logs, I do not see Tenderloin mentioned.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
What change log are you looking at? Post a link please. If you are referring to the log that is assigned to each download date on the Evervolv website, the last nightly I see that had a lot of changes was 10/30/13. Understand that you will very rarely see "tenderloin" in the changes. Most changes affect various aspects of the Android OS, not necessarily a specific device. So a nightly that has a lot of changes that apply to the system, kernel, etc., applies to all devices. The builds are usually done automatically. That is why you will see nightlies that don't have any commits in them. It's up to the individual whether they flash every nightly. I made it my practice to flash a nightly maybe once a month for two reasons. One, if there was a bug introduced in a particular nightly, it was usually caught before I decided to flash. Second, I look at flashing daily just puts wear and tear on the SDD unnecessarily.
