download the TWRP file and using root browser, rename it "uImage.TWRP" without the quotes

while in root browser move the uImage.TWRP file to the boot folder then reboot and you will have the special version of TWRP in your moboot page

it is real easy, I struggled with it for a while until nevertells outlined the above method.
[TouchPad Development] jaltman:
Thank you. I am real close. Using Root Browser i rename and copy the file, but then copy fails and the result is a file of zero length. It shows up in the boot menu, but, of course fails because its of zero size. It looks like there is plenty of free space (over 100 MB) but I will go over to Tailor and add a bit more just in case. Soooo close.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Use the "move" command, I had the same problem once. Sometimes copy works

currently iam on cm 10.2 with cwm-based recovery v6.0.3.6, i like to try datamedi rom of invisiblek

can any one guide me how to install and what are changes need????
[TouchPad Development] milaq:
i'll ignore this ungrateful and rude comment (which is obviously a consequence of having a bad day and/or bad manners) of yours for now.

regarding the downloads:

i changed the config and will do some minor adjustments later.

the load balancing script - which does the fair scheduling so all of you folks share bandwidth equally - is misconfigured and is having troubles with far away nodes (e.g. north america).

i'll have a look at that.
[TouchPad Development] The Jack of Clubs:
im really sorry if you read my comment as rude and ungreatful. we were all just having trouble downloading the file, but once it was gotten, its a really sweet well running rom. in the words of spock, "the only emotion i wish to convey is gratitude". :)

i hit the thanks button on your post so you wont hate me as much.
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
Thanks milaq !

What time is the lowest load on it so we can try to download in less busy periods?

My current attempt is downloading at 13.7kb/s

i reconfigured the scripts and used another module to handle the QOS.

i can't test further away nodes atm - so please (i'm looking at you america and asia) report your download speeds over the course of the night.

the limits are way more relaxed now and we currently have 3x10mbit connections piped for the fileserver. i hope this should be enough.
[TouchPad Development] scy1192:
Download was pretty good (northeast US). Didn't pay attention to the actual speed but it only took a few minutes.

Also, does ART work in this or is it broken as in Evervolv?

Can't believe KitKat Is alive. Awesome work man. You are then man. It amazes me how you keep this thing totally enough for me. Thanks so much.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
You can get the files you need at potaoehead's post #362. You need the ROM, the CWM file and 4.4 Gapps. I get my gapps at PA Gapps (just google it).

YOu have to increase your partition size, use the zip method, outlined in the Touchpad development thread..

TO install the recovery you need to rename the img file as "uImage.ClockworkMod" with out the quotes, and using root browser, move it into the boot folder. reboot

then reboot into recovery and install the rom and gapps.

If you just want a taste of KitKat, without doing data media you can try it out using the Evervolv. YOu can use the same recovery (for now), and you wont have to increase your partition. I have two Touchpads, one with Evervolv KitKat and the other with CM11 from Milaq. I have tried the Invisiblek rom and it is pretty much the same as Milaq CM11 but with the SELinux enabled (I don't even know what SELinux is, but will figure it out soon I think).
[TouchPad Development] jaltman:
This is just weird. Using move I get 75% of the file and then it fails. There is 140 MB free for the 6MB file. In ES File Explorer I can copy, again 75% of the file before it fails with a readonly error when i hit retry.. 4.59 MB gets copied. I am (at least temporarily) befuddled.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I use JRummy Toolbox and the root browser from there. Make sure you have root access checked in settings.
[TouchPad Development] vinukondamahesh:
thank you

canyou give me link to gapps i googled it but so many links i not sure which i have to use

That is probably because I believe the boot folder itself is limited to either 30 or 32mb therefore there is only enough space for 1 recovery unless you can safely free up more space in that folder.
[TouchPad Development] Young Cardiac:
Is there any other way to change partition sizes other than tailer in webos? I can't get that webos quick install to recognize my device. Also is kitkat really >> 10.1?

Easy Steps for people coming from 4.1 and others

Prereq: rooted, have CWM installed

1:Install Datamedia CWM (posted on first page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542353 ) By going into your existing CWM and installing this zip. Reboot right away.

2. Full wipe your tablet.

3. Install/Run the Data media resizer script in CWM found here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/alrh624rwbzvhnh/update-cm-tenderloin-system_resize_512-0.4.zip (not posted by me, but found here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4-UuzlFgGs ) . By this you will not have to install and run tailor. Saves alot of time. Reboot right away.

4. Go into CWM and Install the New ROM. Then install Gapps .

5. Profit ?

PS: the rom isn't working well for me. Apps such as 8track, tunein, etc. are not working. Any ideas why? Some apps make tablet crash, others just don't load up. I have installed the 12/28/2013 version with the gapps-kk-20131208-no_selinux.zip.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Can you name the apps that crash?

I am running the 20131212 withthe same GAPPS and everything runs smoothly and fast except Bluetooth (BT-GPS) and of course the black screens.

No reboots/hangs/loops
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I think it is running very good also. The back box doesn't bother me that much and the apps that I use this tablet for all have run without any fc.

I would also like to compliment Milaq on his new website. It is very professional looking and the downloads have been very fast. Awesome job Milaq!!

[TouchPad Development] Nemesis02:
Hello everybody and thanks a lot for the release. Just to let you guys know my experience. I downloaded the necessary files and attempted to follow the guidelines and suggestions mentioned in the first post. I first attempted to re-partition the drives. I was unable to re-partition the media drive smaller than 1.5GB. Just to let you guys know, I'm running with a 16GB HP Touchpad. I tried removing some applications to reduce the disk usage but still couldn't resize the partition to the recommended 400MB.

After that I tried going in through the usb and erasing everything on the external drive, but after going back to the HP Touchpad, I realized that by doing that i erased all the apps I had loaded as well. I attempted to install preware in WebOS again, but kept getting an error saying not enough space available.

After giving up trying to adjust the partition size or even installing preware again, went on to install the ROM and update the recovery to the one mentioned. Both installs went pretty well, but after running the ROM for a couple hours, I've noticed a few problems. When trying to install an app from the playstore, the playstore crashes every time, but it still manages to bring up the security permissions screen and whether you want to accept or decline the install and clicking install goes through without a problem. Aside from that, the only other issue I seem to notice is already stated in the second post with unable to view emails in GMail, or Google Now pages.

Thanks again.
[TouchPad Development] gradular:
You do not have to make media 400 megs. It can be bigger and should be if you use webos at all.
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
I also have a 16GB TP and was only able able to decrease the /media partition down to 1.5MB (using Tailor).

In the future you can use TiBu to backup all your apps and associated data. Then move the backup to your PC.
[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
What's the point of squeezing the USB media partition to 1.5mb? You can still access and use it even in datamedia cm build. It is not like lost space.

Don't know why someone would suggest squeeze USB media partition as much as possible. There is no benefit at all.
[TouchPad Development] texastutt:

Has anyone made the 3.4 kernel into a flashable zip that can be installed with CWM on top of milaq's CM11?
[TouchPad Development] Nemesis02:
I think he meant GB and not MB. On another note, after using the ROM for a day, I noticed that the tablet would all of a sudden start running slow, around the time when it installs an app and will one unresponsive then reset. This the reset doesn't after every install but it reset 2 or 3 times over the coarse of 4 hours.
[TouchPad Development] allstar319:
http://invisiblek.org/tenderloin/roms/cm11.0/datamedia/

I don't think it's going to be flashable with the current CWM though, you might have to switch to the TWRP build thats somewhere around page 37 of this thread.
[TouchPad Development] Phazor:
Does this have the old issue of not being able to boot up again if your battery hits 0%?
[TouchPad Development] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks, but that's an entire ROM. I was actually wondering if there was a flashable zip with just the kernel so I could stay with milaq's ROM, but use the new kernel. Kind of like on some phones where sometimes there are flashable zips with just the kernel.
[TouchPad Development] allstar319:
Well.. It technically is Milaq's rom, but with the 3.4 kernel, since its built off his source I believe.. There are no zips to just flash the kernel as there may be other things on the rom itself that may need to be changed.

To be sure, PM invisiblek and ask if it is. You can also ask about just a kernel zip. Or even ask flintman
[TouchPad Development] amcolian:
My touchpad started acting up yesterday in that the screen turned off and wouldnt turn on with over 75% battery remaining. Hard reset with power and home keys doesn't work. After sometime, I managed to turn it on, but then the same problem recurred and the tp is off for the last 24 hours. I cant enter usb mode for novacom and cannot webos doctor either. I'm sure it is on, because it is heating up behind the camera but nothing happens if I connect it to my computer.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

kernel update.zip

It will never be possible to make a zip file to upgrade the kernel from 2.65 to 3.xx for our touchpads. The reason we are working on the 3.x kernel is to get ion graphics divers. Their absence is what has prevented us from getting official status. These drivers are in the kernel but the code to use them is in the rom itself and its libraries. The entire rom has to be built to use the ion drivers.

Now, it will be possible to upgrade to the 3.x kernel without wiping anything. You don't have to lose apps or settings or homescreen or anything. This requires that we get cm-11.0 working fully. Cm has always supported the open upgrade process so you just flash the new zip. That is, once we are official. Unofficial builds all have their own foibles.

Many of us are working on the roms. I currently have a buggy build with 3.0.72 and cm-10.2. But it does use ION! And has sound and wifi and sleep and video playback and SODs and random reboots.

Sorry, no kernel upgrade zips. It will have to be an entier rom update.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
For the millionth time, this is not a Rom issue, it's a hardware issue. The only thing that was done a long time ago, J.C. Sullins changed the shutdown threshold so that your TouchPad would automatically turn off at three percent instead of one percent. If you persist in letting your TouchPad drain down that low, even with his fix, you run the risk of a problem. This issue only seems to affect certain TouchPads. Reflashing your A6 firmware is recommended as a precaution.
[TouchPad Development] KyleBS:
It was a software patch to work around the hardware issue though. If the 3.x kernel does not include the scaling patch (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/31618/) then the problem will reemerge. Since none of us have visibility into the kernel source yet, I feel like asking if that patch was included is kind of a fair question (Unless answered before, I hadn't seen it up until now for the 3.x kernel).

wifi still broken on 0101 build
[TouchPad Development] allstar319:
Stay with the 20131230 build for now then as that's the last build that had working wifi. Milaq hasn't committed anything to his Github since the 26th, so I assume a recent change in CM itself broke our wifi. Not sure on the chance of it being fixed though with the 3.4 kernel in full swing.
[TouchPad Development] patoberli:
Also no wifi on the 1231 after updating from the 1225.

So I wanted to downgrade back (1225 was updated from CM 10.0 or so) to 1225 and had to discover that the update to 1231 deleted all my sdcard-ext content ?!? (which was the previous sdcard content). So gone is the previous download and also gone are teh old backups :(

Anybody had this issue too?

Experimental 3.0 builds are up

For all you brave people here you go - experiemental builds with the new 3.0 kernel by jcsullins.

download here: http://milaq.exnet.me/downloads/tenderloin/testing/

There's also a link in the first post.

You need to flash a newer recovery built from the cm-11.0 branch (>=6.0.4.5 original recovery link in OP).

These builds are considered experimental and are in an early stage of development. Besides BT and cam everything should work just fine but DO EXPECT bugs.

Kernel commitlog: https://github.com/milaq/android_kernel_hp_tenderloin/commits/cm-11.0_3.0

I decided to go with the 3.0 kernel and not 3.4 (yet) as we have a solid base to work with (i.e. samsungs msm8660-common kernel which is pretty mature and stable).

All credit goes to [MENTION=2763462]jcsullins[/MENTION] for setting this up.

Have fun and pls report back
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
me too, to my 'horror'.

[TouchPad Development] arky33:
Thanks Milaq!

It might be my device only, but the sd card doesn't seem to mount after flashing the newest recovery build. I don't seem to have an sd nor an external, nothing can be seen from CWM except an empty "sdcard/0/clockworkmod" folder. From WebOS, I tried to move the newest rom zip to that only folder so I could flash it but when I go back to CWM it's still empty. ADB doesn't seem to recognize the TP...it might be time for my first doctor of the year!

edit : After a clean install via the latest ACME, I am getting a similar result. As for the rom, I can get past the CM logo, but after that, 5 seconds of black screen before a reboot.
[TouchPad Development] graffix31:
Hey milaq. Thanks so much for all your work on the tp. Can't believe this thing is still ticking and really makes it so I don't need to buy another tablet. Just loaded up your newest with 3.0 kernel. Everything running pretty good. Couple of things. The sound cuts out a lot. Only a reboot will fix it. Also if you go into the clock app and there is a 4 digit time like I just saw 12:55 the end of the second 5 is cut off. Not sure of it's a DPI thing or what. I don't really know enough about that to change anything but just wanted to let you know.

Thanks again.

I apologize for not keeping up with this thread since I flashed one of the earlier builds in this thread?

Which build resolves the issue with the kernel / browser API, fixing the black-boxes that appear?
[TouchPad Development] allstar319:
Either Milaq's 3.0 kernel build, Invisiblek's 3.4 kernel CM11 kang, or Evervolv 4.0 (with 3.4 kernel of course). Mind you, these builds are still loaded with bugs, so try them at your own risk.
[TouchPad Development] alexeiw123:
Thanks milaq. I'm currently running the kanged 3.4 kernel build, what differences would I expected between the 3.0 kernel and the 3.4 kernel? I haven't followed the kernel change logs so to me it's more or less a number!
[TouchPad Development] hwti:
Hi Milaq,

I just tested your 3.0 build.

It seems to have a default overclock to 1.5Ghz, is it wanted ? Anyway, with the governor parameters, it spends a lot of time at 384Mhz but it's still quite smooth :)

The micro doesn't work for me (you only mentioned BT/cam so I assume it works for you).

Google Now is stuck on initialization.

It seems there is a bug with backlight when transitioning to or from the reduced intensity state (after inactivity timeout) : it blinks, probably jumping to full intensity. Strangely there is no problem when going from reduced intensity to off.

It doesn't suffer from the blue pixels bug I have on 3.4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49009240#post49009240).

Out of curiosity, do you know why the framebuffer pixel order keeps changing between kernels ?

/sys/kernel/debug/msm_fb/0/fb_imgType

9 = MDP_RGBA_8888 on 2.6.35

13 = MDP_BGRA_8888 on 3.0

4 = MDP_ARGB_8888 on 3.4
