[MENTION=1594835]milaq[/MENTION] -Thank you for your post and for your ongoing work on this ROM. Indeed your 3.0kernel build has most everything going for it. Hopefully in Mid-March you can find an opportunity to team up with the other TP devs and to work out the camera issues. If there is anything we can do to assist the effort please post. I just installed CM11-3.4 kernel, and it was cool to see the camera working. But the repeated sleep crashes made the ROM unusable for me at the moment.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
If you call the SOD's that seem to control Invisiblek's 3.4 based kernel right now an advantage. :silly:

Might want to try this from Flintman's OP: Go into Home settings -> voice -> Uncheck Hotword detection** Until the mic is up and going--Seems to be fine in the new mic build

Your 3.0 kernel based Rom is doing just fine for right now, thank you!

And just when I thought the black screens in Chrome were gone, I have to report I infrequently get one from time to time. They are easy to fix. Just hit go back and they disappear.

Subway Surfers

Anyone else play this game? It no longer works on the 3.0 kernel. It used to work on Milaq's 2.6 kernel. The game attempts to launch but continually shows just a black screen. I noticed over in an HTC Sensation thread that they fixed the subway surfers black screen issue on their 3.0 kernel

Whack A Mole

I've been trying to install this mod for two days, and the question I always have when I try to do this is why I always have to go to 12 different sites/pages to find out how to install, flash, find the right CWM, find how to install it, find out why the sdcard disappears in CWM, figure out how to configure the data folders, so on and so on and so on, before I finally just hit ACMEUninstaller for the 50th time and wait for this:

Is there any way that these mods can be posted with step-by-step instructions for those of us who don't change our mods every other day? I try doing this once every five to six months, and each time, it's a scavenger hunt to gather every important twig, stone and leaf, only to have something come up incomplete or uninstallable.

That said, I really admire you guys for writing these mods which are keeping Touchpads relevant. I really want to have your great work up and running, but because I'm not a 24/7 adopter, I'm stuck in a big billow of smoke.

Thanks for your time and hard work. I'm not giving up, but I'd sure like a functioning mod real soon!

"3. Extract the 3 folders from the zip and copy them to the root of /sdcard via WebOS."

I scrolled back to see which zip they're talking about. Whatever it is, it's not in that post, so I have to hunt for whatever zip file that is. *sigh*

But you see...when I said step-by-step, I was hoping that info would be at the top of the thread, as in "Here are the files you're going to need for this," AND you have to give me this: There's nothing in that post from the beginning to step 3 that says the files are at the end of the post. I, for one, automatically scroll BACK to find what they're referencing.

But that said, okay, I'll blame myself and give myself a "G".

So despite what people say in THIS xda-developers thread, you have to install 10.1 before you can install KitKat CM 11 then. I'll swing back there now and give it another go.

Thanks. I'm wearing the vest of shame. :eek:
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
That is NOT true. Some may suggest it is easier to go that route but it is NOT required. I installed CM11 fresh and have assisted several others do the same.

The main thing is to repartition for "Data Media", and use the correct recovery. Follow the well documented steps and you will do fine. Good luck.

I downloaded CWM, CM11 and gapps from the OP. I flashed CWM from older CWM. I then factory reset, wiped cache and dalvic as normal for moving to a new version. However when I go to install zip from SD card it doesn't see the zips that were stored to the sdcard from downloading then on the touchpad from CM10. I spent some hour or two trying to find out how to copy the zips to where this new version of CWM can see them but can't seem to find the answers. Can someone help guide me on how to do that?

ADB sideload 'em buddy
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
I know that this is a too long of a thread to read it all through but still, five or six posts above yours someone says what he did. While a post later someone refutes it, and technically he is correct, I found that doing it is the easiest way of upgrading (after you did the re-partitioning). I even used TWRP, to make it even more easy.
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
There is more than one way to skin a cat. Sometimes one way is better for one, and another way is better for someone else.

It is agreed it is unfortunate Milaq decided not to enable out-of-the-box access to the old /data/media directory, in his recovery and CM11 ROM builds. Other ROMs and recoveries support such access out-of-the box. And thus it can be frustrating for some newbies as well as some experienced Android users.

And indeed it is good to see the availability of a recovery which is more universal in supporting various KitKat DataMedia ROMs for the TouchPad.

But it is incorrect to suggest that installing CM 10.x first is a requirement to install CM11.0.

And note if you have 10.x installed, you can move your downloaded ROM and recovery zips to the standard /sdcard/Download directory, which you can natively access via Milaq's recovery and in his ROM.

Learning a bit about ADB will likely open a whole new perspective to you. Indeed it did for me.. If you want to know how to get ADB going between a Windows PC and the TouchPad, I previously posted to this thread a step-by-step. And there are numerous tutorials (on XDA and elsewhere) explaining how to use ADB to sideload, etc.

Get ADB working before you upgrade to a data media build

ADB can sometime be a little tricky to get setup. You have to get the correct drivers loaded and that can be a challenge when you don't have a bootable touchpad.

I would strongly recommend everyone get ADB setup on their computer and learn how to use it before flashing a new ROM and especially before upgrading to this ROM and CWM combination.
[TouchPad Development] StoneRyno:
I installed the SDK and the novacom drivers but ADB says no device found. Which kind of dead ended that option unless there is something I missed doing to get it to see the touchpad. On my previous install the Download directory is also the same Download directory as seen as /media/internal/Download in webOS. But in this new CWM there is only one folder shown when I choose from sdcard and that is /0 which also has a /clockworkmod directory inside it.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/113874-r...uilds-on-the-hp-touchpad-edited-030414/page-6 post#56

ADB can be a PIA to get installed and to use. I believe that to get it to see the device one has update your PATH environment variable so it can find the device. And if you don't know the proper commands to use to push files from your PC to the tablet, you are still stuck. The average user is not ADB savy and by the time he learns to use it, he could have already accomplished what he needs with the guide in post #56.

With the above linked guide it is as about straight forward as one can ask for. Just keep in mind that if you use the method that others suggest, once you flash the data/media recovery they suggest, you will not be able to see the old SD card, only the new one.( If there is a way to see the old SD card, I have not seen any of them explain how one does) With the above guide, you will have an opportunity to move any needed files from the old SD card over the folder on the new SD card. Then once you switch to the data/media/ Selinux recovery, access to the old SD card will be gone and the needed files will be right where you need them to accomplish installing whatever version of Android 4.4.2.
[TouchPad Development] allstar319:
It's in the developer options under the settings. IIRC, you have to go into settings, about tablet and tap the build number thing 7-8 times to get developer options to show up.

ADB Step-by-Step for the TouchPad

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50312102&postcount=985

"Begin the process by ensuring Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging (aka Android Debugging) is CHECKED "

Once you learn ADB it opens up a new perspective and appreciation for Android. ADB works for all Android devices, so what you learn ADB for the TouchPad will apply to your next tablet or phone as well. For instance learning ADB has definitely assisted me with unlocking, rooting and installing custom recoveries and various ROMs on the Nexus 5 phone.
[TouchPad Development] StoneRyno:
I have successfully use ACMEinstaller 5 to get CWM 6.0.1.9 and flashed CM 10.1 and JB gapps. So I assume I should be able to copy the zips for CM11 to the correct directory to flash from the correct CWM version for use with CM11. The first flash of CM10.1 the virtual KB kept crashing and I am troubleshooting that now with factory reset and possible reflash after posting this.
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
WebOS /media/internal/downloads directory is NOT the same as Android's 'Download' directory.

Android on the TouchPad set-up for DataMedia...

/sdcard/Download

is the same as

/data/media/0/Download

is the same as

/storage/sdcard0/Download

is the same as

/mnt/sdcard/Download

Can access via Root Explorer (e.g. if using ES File Explorer, scroll down left column and turn on Root Explorer).

If you download the ROM or Recovery zips using Chrome or another browser, you can set browser to download to the 'Download' directory. Or to another directory which you can access in recovery.

Or create a new download directory and call it what you wish (does not have to be 'cminstall').

Many ways to skin a cat.
[TouchPad Development] StoneRyno:
I didn't have this directory so I just copied the zips to /data/media/0/0 which for some odd reason is the sdcard rather than /data/media/0. I'm not sure why that happened. Now I'm off to find the edit I need to make to trick the store into thinking I have an official device for downloading apps that say not compatible with your device.
[TouchPad Development] reynoben:
That did it. Thanks! :good:
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
To keep the confusion to a minimum, here is the reader's digest version of post #56. Note the recommended recoveries and Roms to use.

1. Run Acmeuninstaller2 to remove android (if upgrading from a non-data/media Rom)

2. Boot to WebOs and reset/wipe the Sdcard to clear out the last bits of Android(this frees up ram for the resize step below)

3. Run ACMEInstaller5 to install Moboot 0.3.8 and CWM 6.0.3.6 DM

4. Boot to CWM v6.0.3.6 and run the appropriate data_resize zip. Immediately reboot back to CWM, this initializes the resize

5. Now with CWM v6.0.3.6, install Milaq's CM10.2 DM and Gapps for Android 4.3

6. Now use CWM v6.0.3.6 to install Philz CWM v6.0.4.7 DM SeLinux

7. Use Philz CWM v6.0.4.7 DM SeLinux to install whatever version of Android 4.4.2 and it's gapps you want.

Now that is just the basic steps laid out without links to files needed and instructions for housekeeping you need to do. Read post #56 for all that.:o

Native camera app is not working for me. But third party camera apps are, to the extent of:

1. allowing me to record a video but with significant color issues.

2. allowing me to take a picture, but not saving to a file.

The videos show up in the native Gallery app but the photos do not. At least as far as I can tell, none of the camera apps appear to be saving the photo to a file. Navigated directory tree via file manager and found no evidence of new image files.
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
I have installed the 0306 update. The camera is working but the preview is distorted using the native app. It's elongated in portrait and squashed in landscape. I tried another app, camera360, and the preview is OK but 90° offset. Trying to turn it to the right direction, with an option in the app, the preview is distorted just like in the native app.

Edit: Tried to take a picture in both apps to see if the distortion is only in the preview and couldn't take a picture. The shutter sound can be heard, the picture freezes and nothing happens. In the native app I have to press a button in order to continue, in Camera360 I get a notice of timeout. Looking for the picture on the tablet shows that the picture was not taken.

I do not see your catlog posted.

I assume the updated camera code (thanks to jcsullins, Flemmard, Dorregaray etc) which Milaq commited to his 03-06-14 nightly, reflects some of the Google updates you refer to.

What the devs need NOW is our catlogs so they can further develop/shape the camera code so it works in the CM11-3,0 kernel on the TouchPad as it should. The very least end-users, who want a fully functioning camera, can do is provide the devs with diagnostics info (catlogs) when requested by the devs.

Again please post to the camera thread so the devs who are working specifically on camera issues will not miss it.

I have never even used the camera on the touchpad personally just posted the info to help. You are right. People should post logs to aid the development.
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
The milaq's build uses wrong camera blobs resulting in camera errors while taking pictures.

He should probably cherry-pick the https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_hp/commit/82eeb28aaaaf9f35182c8a6423a88a7dae045e59 commit and it should start taking pictures.

Forgive me if this issue has already been addressed in this thread, but is anyone else having any "long-press" issues?

For example: pressing and holding an app from the app-drawer to bring the icon to the home screen; instead of bringing it to the home-screen, it just opens the app.

Also, I know people have mentioned it in the past, but when plugging in the tablet, charging is intermittent at best. It'll be plugged in, and it will say "Charging", but when I go into battery stats, it indicates it's not charging. I have the OEM barrel charger and a brand-new USB cable, so I don't think the issue lies with the charger.
