Search this thread on 'Netflix' for ideas.

Which version of Windows? On Windows XP install Windows Media Player 11. Then with TouchPad connected to PC via USB cable, in Android Settings > Developer Options uncheck "Android debugging"

Then in Windows Explore under MyComputer you should be able to see TouchPad listed where you can navigate My Computer\TouchPad\Internal storage\

Not sure if that's what you are looking for. That's all I have.

Also you might look into the AirDroid app for a connection via wifi or a mobile network to their PC. No idea if it works with CM11 and TouchPad.
[TouchPad Development] nstirton:
Thanks woodytrain, that's more or less what I was looking for. As has been discussed many times here there is a host of different variations of this project in this one thread (datamedia / non-datamedia builds, kernels, etc) and was keen for someone to sum up their findings. I may well back - up my current 10.2 ROM and give it a go.

As always thanks to milaq and all dev for working so hard on this project.
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
Well at this point the discussion here centers on the CURRENT state of the ROM build listed in the title of this thread. That is Milaq's [CM11 w/ 3.0 Kernel]. But it is now a KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.

The main sticking points appear to be getting some features to work on the new 3.0 kernel. Milaq has removed support for a customized version of DataMedia for the TouchPad as we recently knew it (that is, no direct access to the WebOS USB /media partiton, also known as /external_sd). But that is not a big deal and you can employ some workarounds. Moving forward you want to be sure to increase your size of /data (as well as /system) as explained in the OP.

Yes do give it a go. Definitely worth it, and you learn by doing. And since you are doing a proper nandroid you can go back (and forth), like I have been doing, several times day at least.

There is an issue using later versions of Netflix on the 3.0 kernel. This thread should provide you some insight. I've downloaded version "Netflix 2.4.0 (build 939)" and it works OK for me.

[TouchPad Development] Revilo62:
I'm on 8.1 and I've done all that, still nothing for some odd reason.

Does that version have profiles? I kind of need profiles.
[TouchPad Development] reynoben:
No idea if it has profiles or not. I install netflix so my kids can use it.

Give it a try and see...A working netflix without profiles is more useful than a broken netflix with profiles ;)

[TouchPad Development] Lost_in_Dark:
I found that since I upgrade to CM11, flash player seems not working anymore (also flash player settings icon still exists). When load page in stock browser, the web page says adobe flash player required (need to install).

Is this an issue of CM11? Or is flash complete not supported in Andriod 4.4 anymore?
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
As a follow-up, after doing a nandroid of my install of CM11 (Milaq's kernel3 version) in cwm, I flashed Flintman;s TWRP. Then did a full wipe/factory reset (which included formatting /data, /system, /cache, and /sdcard/.android_secure and a wipe of dalvik cache).

Then I attempted to flash Milaq's CM10.2 01-15-14 nightly in TWRP but observed the following "Status 7" error.

I re-downloaded the CM10.2 ROM zip, and re-attempted install but observed the same error.

So I reflashed the CWM 6.0.4.6 recovery. And within CWM made a another attempted to flash Milaq's CM10.2 01-15-14 nightly. But observed same "Status 7" error.

I've searched on the Status 7 error various users have reported installing other ROM's but none of the posted solutions appeared to apply to the CM11/TouchPad environment.

I had no problem restoring my nandroid backup via CWM, restoring CM11 (3.0 kernel) with all my apps and data intact.

Before my attempts flashing CM10.2 I didn't run AcmeUninstaller as I was hoping I could do this all on the TouchPad without involving a PC.

So I guess my question is, once CM 11 (kernel 3.x) is installed on the TouchPad, must I run the AcmeUninstaller then the appropriate AcmeIInstaller to be able to properly flash CM 10.2? Or is there some other step I am missing in the process?
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
How were you able to post in a XDA ROM Dev thread without having 10 posts to your credit? Did XDA change the rules recently? :confused:

Running Firefox on the CM11 (3.0 kernel), sites featuring HTML5 video appear well, but flash video (e.g. videos on cnet and jibjab) does not. However in Chrome beta flash videos on those two sites play fine. Maybe Chrome (or Google servers) is converting/re-encoding flash to HTML5 (Theora, VP8/9 or H.264) on the fly?

At any rate the following link may be be informative, but I don't recommend sideloading from unknown sources.

On an unrelated note Chrome update will be coming out with some useful bandwidth mgmt features (if you don't mind routing your web site access thru Google servers).

Those of you using MXPlayer, have you noticed HW/HW+ doesn't work in the build for the 17th? Gonna try today's build and see where that gets me.

edit: No dice with todays build either. Last build I remember it working on was the 14th.

edit 2: Went back to the build from the 14th, HW+ is working again with MXPlayer. Whatever changed on either CM, or something Milaq committed, broke it on the newer builds, though, I'm inclined to say it's something on CM that broke it considering Milaq only committed something after the 17th's build was made.
[TouchPad Development] nstirton:
I had the same issue until I updated the CWM Recovery to the one in the initial post, then it worked flawlessly. I guess my suggestion would be to flash CWM again and give it another go?

CWM 6.0.4.6 is the "one in the initial post". As posted that is the recovery I've been using. It works fine for flashing CM11. However, with the same recovery, I repeatedly observed the Status 7 error message flashing CM10. and have yet to resolve. Hoping to find a resource to help me decipher the error message as I wish to get back to CM10.2 as my daily driver with bluetooth and camera. Unfortunately due to lack of storage I had to delete my previous CM10.2 nandroid backup. 16GB is restrictive when wanting to test various ROMs and apps. I miss my 32GB TouchPad. Wish their was a way HP could connect/write to that TouchPad and permanently render the useless.
[TouchPad Development] Silencer96:
The flashable cwm zip in the first post seems to have crippled ROM flashing capabilities. I can't select any files from the internal storage and hence can't flash any ROMs. I'm currently stuck on cm10.1 at the moment, which should hold up just fine. But is there a fix for this aside from reflashing android?
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I have tried using Flintman's TWRP. It gives you access to those files.
[TouchPad Development] Silencer96:
But how can I go from the corrupt recovery to flints?
[TouchPad Development] graffix31:
This cwm in the first post is only to be used for data media builds. If your trying to flash 10.1 which if i recall was not a data media build then it will not work. Know what your flashing and read the op of the version you are installing. Newest version cwm In this case does not mean it is just a better updated version. There are very specific differences. So like I said know what you are flashing and follow the op. It won't steer you wrong.

You don't understand the purpose of flashing a data / media rom. If you do not increase the size of the data partition, a data / media rom is pretty much useless. The SD card in the /media partition is no longer used by a data / media rom. That is why you need as much memory as you can moved into the /data partition to accommodate the SD card now being in that partition. You only need to leave about a gigabyte of memory in the media partition so that WebOS is not crippled.
[TouchPad Development] Silencer96:

CM loops back to moboot

I resurrected a 32gb touchpad I bought on ebay using tpdebrick. It boots nicely into webos. I used webos doctor to be safe and then used tailor to partition the memory (media: 1.5gb, system: 700mb, cache: 400mb, data: ~25GB). I used acmeinstaller5M to install the files from the OP. When it rebooted it went to moboot 0.3.8 screen but when it went to load CM it showed the few lines of text that is at the beginning of the boot process but then the screen goes blank. After 30-60 seconds it simply returns to the moboot screen and repeats the process.

I can break the cycle by moving the moboot menu to WebOS, which then boots normally.

This is a clean install and I am perplexed. I have had CM 10.1 on my other TP but this is my first foray into datamedia territory. Any ideas on how to tackle this one?

I did scan the thread as well as try some searching but if the answer is in here I haven't found it :o

Use ROM Manager to manage your backups.
[TouchPad Development] nstirton:
A few posts back I asked how people were finding this ROM with the latest updates, and was told to flash and try it myself.... So I have! Here's my findings of what's good/ what's not after a few days with the 18/01 nightly. I've tried to incorporate some things that others have commented on too, one way our another:

Charging symbol in the status bar starts/ stops as it should, there were reports of it continuing to show charging after being unplugged.

Home button does wake the device but it cannot be assign to other functions, option doesn't work in settings.

Was getting random reboots with screen off but fixed this by increasing lowest frequency using No Frills.

Backups ARE visible in file browsers- they're just stored to a different location than previous ROMs. Check /data/media/cwm/backups

Gallery still causes reboot, as all my pics are also in the cloud I use Woven as a replacement.

Battery life appears to be very good compared to the 10.2 ROM

Text input with stock keyboard is very fast, have yet to install Swiftkey to try

Whole UX is faster and more fluid.

No camera working yet

Enabling ART causes lots of failed gapps, even after re-flashing the gapps package.

Anyway, all in all a great ROM, hope this helps someone!

If you're looking for Flintman's modified TWRP (non-data/media build), download it here:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7fLjD3u7XIXQ0stQjhXaUh5TVk/edit rename the .IMG file to uImage.TWRP, put it into the /Boot folder, and delete your old recovery.

The /data/ directory under / is empty in mine. The reboots from Gallery are caused by incompatible video files. You can work around this by putting a file named ".nomedia" in the directories with videos in them. I haven't attempted to try ART yet.

...don't usually reply to my own post but....

All permutations of the files from the OP did not lead to success with getting CM11 loaded. I decided to go with CM10.2. I loaded all the approved files listed in the OP in Milaq's CM10.2 thread and it loaded and booted right up! One obvious difference is that the CWM versions are different in the CM10.2 original post (6.0.3.6) as opposed to the CM11 OP (6.0.4.6). What is the difference between these versions of CWM?

I'll run CM10.2 for a couple days and then consider doing a nandroid backup and retrying the CM11 build.

Paul.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Since you have CM10.2 successfully installed, use Flintman's TWRP to flash CM11. From what I have read, the correct way to install a data/media Rom, is uninstall, use Tailor to set up the partitions, use ACMEInstaller5M to install Milaq CM10.1 or 10.2. Now use Flintman's TWRP to flash the CM11 of your choice and the corrent gapps to go with it. Use Flintmant's TWRP because is has the correct support for data/media and SELINUX. As far as I know, there is not a ACMEInstaller that will correctly install a data/media Rom yet. Imarck90 said he is working on that.

CWM 6.0.4.6 Home Button sensitivity issue

When navigating the menu tree in Milaq's CWM 6.0.4.6 version (built for Milaq's CM11), has anyone else observed any ultra sensitivity of the TP's physical Home button?

That is, pressing the HOME button often registers as two clicks (even when I try to press and release the button quickly). The most significant issue is when the double click behavior occurs while I'm in the CWM backup and restore menu, when generating a new backup or when deleting an old backup. At least there is a confirm deletion step. But there is no confirm backup step, so I've been inadvertently generating backups when I don't want to. And of course a full backup takes ten minutes or so to finish and there is no way to cancel the backup in process, as far as I can tell.

I only observe the sensitivity issue with the Home Button in CWM 6.0.4.6, not anywhere else, nor in other recovery versions.

I need to use a ROM with functioning bluetooth and camera. After running CM11 I want to try out CM10.1. But I'm observing the Status 7 error message when attempting to flash either CM10.1, CM 10.2 or an earlier CWM recovery.. A more complete explanation of my issue of the steps I'm following is in this post in the CM10.1 thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49659959

Just came to mind... before attempting to install CM10.1 (or CM10.2) do I need to revert my partition setup, to something different (from after I have reduced webOS /media partition size and increased the size of the Android /data partition)?
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Sounds to me like it may be on account of the datamedia recovery.

Try putting the .IMG recovery file in /boot, as mentioned above. Hopefully that works?

No CWM recovery version listed in the OP for milaq's CM10.1 thread.

But looking through various other related threads it was suggested to use

update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215.zip

which is JcSullins CWM Recovery v6.0.1.9

I'm not sure if this is only an update and I have to have a previous full version of this same recovery already installed?

However I tried to flash and receive the same Status 7 error as I previously reported.

Is there a resource available which describes what a "Status 7" is? I've searched to no avail.

Using TWRP I just tried flashing the same CWM6, but that failed as well.

"Assert failed: get prop...

E:Error executing updater binary in zip...

... "Failed!"

I cannot read the full screen error messages as TWRP does not have word wrap implemented.

Can anyone point me to a different CWM recovery which should work with Milaq's CM10.1

It is cumbersome having to reload CM11, just to extract an IMG file from a recovery and copy it to the /boot partition. Can I do this in TWRP?

Its looking like I'll need to connect to a PC and run ACMEUninstall and then an ACMEInstaller. I was really hoping to do this without a PC involved.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

Apologies for going OT...

I observe jcsullins has uploaded a different CWM recovery to http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery/

update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip	(2014-01-17 12:29:17 PST)

What might the "1012" signify?

Does the pre-appended "update" file naming convention always indicate the package is an updater for a previous version recovery which must already be installed, and thus is not a full package that can be installed on its own?

Easily change your boot animation

I wanted to share an easy way to change your boot animation. I'm not sure if this applies to other ROMs.

1. Create a folder named local in the /sdcard/data folder (I used ES File Explorer)

2. Install the Boot Animations app from the Play Store.

3. Select a boot animation and tap Install (it's default install location is /data/local)

4. Reboot (there is an option in the app to reboot as well)

It looks like Android(or milaq's ROM) maps the device level /data/local folder to the emulated /sdcard/data/local folder if it exists. Copying a bootanimation.zip file into this folder overrides the one in /system/media it seems.
