I need some help. I need to know where A.I. Type Keyboard installs its data files. I had a failed upgrade on it and now it doesn't want to install. If I can remove the old data files, maybe it will install.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Don't suppose you have a nandroid backup to revert to?
[TouchPad Development] k4ever:
No, I use Titanium for backup. I'm trying to avoid reverting to backup. Every time I get the error associated with this problem, simply deleting the all's data folder fixes it. Problem is some apps don't put their info in Android/data and likes to hide this info.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
How about settings/apps, find the app in the list and delete cache and data?

Uninstall n then restore old backup from TiBu
[TouchPad Development] Dongers:
Not seen anyone reply to this but I'm seeing between 47-51mA with wifi off when unplugged, optimisation on. That's on 22/6 build.

Also have xposed DS Battery Saver and WiFi deep sleep installed....don't appear to have made any difference....

Good ROM though, preferring this to shumash's PAC man ROM ATM as just seems more stable (and I'm a BIG shumash fanboy, only just moved from schizoid 2.11 after about 6 months of not changing anything on my TP) ?

Cheers

Turn optimization off....
[TouchPad Development] blackied:
I just updated to the 22/6 build after not touching things since late last year. Wasn't thrilled to find out it wiped the sd card with my backups and other data, but it was liveable - it kept the apps at least. My main problem has been getting a working gapps. I tried the gapps in the updater first (wrong version), and eventually tried the latest PA gapps, but every time I try flashing it, it claims the /system only has ~44mb free and fails. Any suggestions?

[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Sounds like volumes not set up properly. Try installing with touchpad toolbox.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------

If it has been that long you have some reading to do. Partitioning and such. As the poster above I would recommend jcsullins touchpad toolbox. It is the easiest method for properly setting it up properly. The gapps in the OP are the correct gapps for this build.
[TouchPad Development] ndinfla:
I tried several times to get the PA GAPPS ( all versions) to load thru toolbox with no luck. Wound up using KK gapps. Not sure if it is a naming thing or what. Keeps throwing failed due to incorrect gapps file. Installing along with evervol and Philz
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Yes. As jcsullins said in the Op of the touchpad toolbox. Just be sure the name matches his set parameters.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I use the pa gapps and rename the file.
[TouchPad Development] k4ever:
I'm having this same issue. Any resolution? Google Camera used to work.

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

The toolbox only recognizes 4.4.2 naming convention. I renamed my PA GAPPS file to 4.4.2 instead of 4.4.4 and it worked great.

[TouchPad Development] -MX-:
Same problem here with a number of apps I've been trying to install.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Try wiping data/cache of Play Store app and try installing again. I am running this ROM version up and no such issues.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I have never wiped the data/cache of just one app. How do you do that? Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Go to settings - apps. Find Google Play Store App, then clear data, and then force stop..

It will ask you to accept their terms and conditions when you restart Play Store, and I would first screech for updates and see if it will download and install them OK.

Then try installing the apps you were having a problem with. Good luck.
[TouchPad Development] pshadoww:
I am using 0704 version. Everything worked fine but this evening the sound started to become weird. Is there any solution for this?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Clearing caches, rebooting, reinstalling, a different ROM, the last version of this ROM that worked for starters.
[TouchPad Development] masdacheri:
I tired to rebooting if fixed to error, cant open some app (black/blank screen) if errors
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
0716 is out - anyone try it yet?

Update - just flashed - so far so good.

Once again to the OP - thanks for keeping this aging platform up to date with latest ROM. Also to the others with the recoveries, tools, etc.
[TouchPad Development] rodohmes:
Hey all - this question isn't specific to this ROM, but it's the only one I subscribe to about my TP since it's the ROM I'm using. I've ripped some of my DVD collection onto my computer in m4v and WMV format and when I go to transfer them to my TP my Windows 7 PC gives me a popup that says the files can be copied my my devise might not be able to play them. Has anyone else seen this? Do I need a different media player apk or should I rip them in a different format?

My family is going on a long road trip and I'm hoping to use this as a media player for my kids. Thanks for any help.

EDIT: anyone have success using a usb otg to play movies from an external drive?

EDIT 2: now that I've actually loaded a couple of movies it seems to play them just fine. Soooooo.......nevermind. Nothing to see here. :)
[TouchPad Development] chris_j11:
not to insult this great build, but i decided to go back to: - [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL][4.4.4][3.4 Kernel] CyanogenMod 11.0 Nightlies

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2592909

The sound was back to being clear and loud

i'm sure this build have a lot of advantages, but i need my youtube
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Should have tried latter version - works OK for me. You also may have a video/audio setup that caused the problem.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Working great for me on last build.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Would like to add one thought though.

Youtube app on WebOS plays much louder than the android Youtube app on this ROM - could a mod or tweak be done to adjust this? Don't want it howling - just equal to WebOS output.
[TouchPad Development] emph4tic:
Audio Distortion

I remember Flintman mentioning a few pages back that the sound distortion was still present but that he was working on some potential kernel fixes. As far as I know, the distortion happens on occasion. I'm still on the 7/04 nightly.

Have you guys noticed any sound issues in the latest nightly?

Otherwise, everything else seems to be working great.
[TouchPad Development] len207:
Running the 7/16 ROM and U-tube volume is certainly loud enough even for my old ears! Also cranked up some MP3 audio through the audio player and that was clear with adequate volume both using built in speakers.
[TouchPad Development] Mchasard:
Please I just update to last version 16/7 but no way to connect to play store .... Which gapps version should I flash?

[TouchPad Development] Mchasard:
Clean reflash ans play store now ok
[TouchPad Development] masdacheri:
No clean install but u must flash gapps againt after update
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Whenever I flash an update, I also flash the GApps. That will usually take care of the play store issue.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Yes when you update it formats the system partition which inturn requires reflashing of GAPPS. Sorry all it seems like i have been hiding but work this summer has been nonstop. Working 14+ hour days and by the time i get home it's bed time then back out again. Luckly the summer is only a few months out of the year. I'll be back at it full force once things slow down. There will be updates with evervolv still comming but device specific once i have some free time.

[TouchPad Development] wazzaman:
Hi all!

I enjoy very much my good old Touchpad with the Ev-tenderloin-3.3.0p1-queo release and just looked a the update from the settings menu.

I've red every changelog and some says DONT MERGE, when it goes to 4.4.4

That it mean that i Mustn't update from 3.3 to 17-06 / 4.4.4 from the touchpad upgrade ?

thanks a lot for your precisions ;)
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The changelog simply tells users what changes have been made to the ROM code from the last change. Most changes are merged into the common code for the ROM. DON'T MERGE means that the committers don't want the changes to be included in the main code. It has nothing to do with the users of the ROM. Upgrade if you want.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Been using that one and no issues - give it a go. If you are worried, just make a backup first but move on.
[TouchPad Development] zelpus:
Hmm I am unable to connect without it immediately resetting and disconnecting the connection. Haven't tried a nandroid clean slate install maybe I'll go that route and see if it's still messed up.

Is Netflix working on this version ?

The updated version of Netflix
[TouchPad Development] len207:
c​

In a single word response no. However if you tinker around with screen size and position of play controls the latest Netflix does play the movie fine. If you then decide to fast forward or rewind then it back to tinkering, same if you view a different video. Not yet ready for those who don't have patience to tinker. One bright spot was the more one tinkered the quicker it was to get a good playback!

FYI, the link in FishDoc's post does not work, but you can find the two files he mentions here. Scroll down to the "Attached Files" and download them from there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405995

A complete write up (thanks pastordi) that I used can be found at: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2405995

Post #14 in that thread touches on the key point.

The installation is quite simple. I did the following: Uninstall any version of Netflix currently on your touchpad.

Download com.netflix.mediaclient.v3.2.1-B1346.apk.zip and NetflixHackPersist.zip to your computer. Both files are linked in the above thread. Change the name of NetflixHackPersist to cm-update.zip.

Copy both files (the cm-update.zip and the Netflix apk to the any folder in the TP. I used the Download folder for simplicity.

Delete any existing Netflix app on your TP.

Use ES File Explorer (ES3) or appropriate app to install the Netflix apk. After installation go to recovery and install the cm-update.zip file. Then reboot. I've found that you may have to reboot 2 or three times for the program to work correctly. As with many video programs the first minute may be jerky but it quickly settles down and runs great.

YMMV but this is the best work around that I've found.

Also, be sure to uncheck auto update from the Netflix app in Play Store. I have also found that after you start this Netflix app the first time and it fails to load you may have to go back to recovery and reinstall the cm-update zip. After you reboot Netflix should work. If it doesn't you have some other problem that may require a clean install.

Good luck,

FishDoc
[TouchPad Development] Chosen_on184:
Thanks for the responses .. Tried it and got it to work ..

Sadly with the older version of Netflix since I cannot access my profile I gotta be going back and forth when trying to find where I left off with an season.

Hopefully they can patch a fix in .. or is it at the moment dead in the water ?

Thread real quiet - but new version is up - anyone running it yet?
[TouchPad Development] k4ever:
I've had a lot of reboots with the new version. I had none with the version before.
[TouchPad Development] len207:
I also am running the latest version of this ROM and using Art instead of Davlik. The only reboot I have had was with an earlier version. Once going the system runs OK, there is major lag opening some apps for the first time. Restarting theTP with this ROM and Art is painful! Once you reach the lock screen it is an eternity before the TP is fully operational. But considering this is a device never designed to run Android or certainly not Kitkat the ROM runs well!
[TouchPad Development] k4ever:
I gave up on ART. IMO it is just too slow on the TouchPad and offers no real benefit.
[TouchPad Development] masdacheri:
After use all update nightly 4.4.4 get SOD n i know suspect is hotword google now on google louncher coz i change louncher SOD gone n not get app/system non responding..but i test to actived again hotword ok google on 3 party louncher with xposed SOD come again..so im sure that problems

[TouchPad Development] k4ever:
[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION], thanks for all your good work! Running the August 15th build and everything is running smoothly. No issues so far. I made the mistake of turning on Ok Google voice commands in Nova Launcher on a previous build and had nothing but stability issues. Once I turned that off, all of my problems seemed to go away.

I do have one question.. I noticed that with each new build of Android, the widgets on my home screen take longer and longer to load after a reboot. Is this normal?

Edit: Almost forgot, what does the new 3.4 kernel add/fix?
[TouchPad Development] Cosmic Ranger:
New build running great for me. Appreciate the work! Other than being a little slow my old Touchpad and your software keeps chugging along!
[TouchPad Development] bundys:
What's the power draw like with the newer kernel?
[TouchPad Development] masdacheri:
In new 3.4 kernel as there are white spots moving in every shadow picture on lcd, like death pixel

Fixed by format system n clean flash but it come again i think some problem on color or dpi pixel driver
[TouchPad Development] emph4tic:
Not sure if it's just me or TP4G, but I encountered a couple issues on the 8/15 build:

No audio when booting up device - if I toggle the screen off & on, sound is restored

Random soft reboot - this has only happened a few times once or twice when I was setting up Gravity Box and a couple times during sleep/screen off

Has anybody else encountered these issues?

I'll try to get logs posted next time it happens.

I haven't measured battery life, but it seems consistent with the last several builds so far.

Otherwise, the new kernel feels a bit more responsive and I'm still super content with flintman and the other TP devs' continued work!
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
Same issue here. I'm going to downgrade to 4.3 again. 4.4 is not stable enough to really use, getting all sorts of ANRs in things like browser, drive...
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Is this on a clean install as I'm very stable on 4.4 im running it on 3 different tp's. Can you send a few logs??
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
It was clean. Wiped system and data before installing. I'm back on 4.3 now. I'm going to need it for school. Sorry don't have logs :( 4.3 is having some odd problems too... Used to worm fairly well now it freezes and has sleep of death -_-

Thanks for keeping the touchpad dream alive though. Best $100 spent!
[TouchPad Development] k4ever:
I haven't seen any white dots, but the ROMs with the newer 3.4 kernel have been so instable for me that I reinstalled the last version before the kernel switch. I had multiple random crashes every day. The screen would lock up a lot or become unresponsive. I didn't do a clean install. I installed them directly over the previous versions (like I have done before with ever other nightly). If I get a chance this week I may do a clean install. It takes over 3 hours of work for me so I'm not eager to do it all the time.
[TouchPad Development] masdacheri:
Cant detec in screenshoot..[emoji17]
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
Reupdated to 4.4 latest and still the same problems. Literally half of the time it get sleep of death even if I've never turned the screen on since boot.

What logs would you need? Logcat?
[TouchPad Development] masdacheri:
If SOD fix with turn off hotword ok google, back to nighly 01082014 n normally degration color again [emoji1]
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Yes in setting toolbox check all log options and upload. Send me the link and ill see what is going on
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
Seems more stable with the hotword off. Weird how it's affecting apps being the home screen.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Its been an issue for a while now. I may have an idea on whats causing it and when i get back home i plan to pin it down along with a few other minor issues.
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
I'll let you know if I hit other show stopping issues. Only thing I'm seeing is some apps aren't working like Chanu once it tries to load some stuff. Though its only like 1 or 2 apps.

[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Camera records pictures and video. Looks like aspec t ratio is correct.

Good job guys!
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
The camera records videos because I've make a workaround for non working recorder, but the resulting picture is in blue tint. Need some more time to figure out what's wrong with the recording and fix it.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
The camera fixes will be in the next nightly. This will require a clean install as you will not have a camera icon if you dirty flash this build.

nightly 01/31 kills play store content

Hi flintman, devs.

After updating (full install) to the latest nightly (01/31) and flashing PA GAPPS (01/23), the camera now works BUT the play store is refusing to install titles that were always available in the touchpad, like zinio, asphalt 8, and others, saying the device isnt supported.

Is this a case of something being left out in this build manifest? or i cant use PA GAPPS anymore?

best regards and keep up the good work
[TouchPad Development] ajones7279:
I was just coming here to report the same.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Nothing has changed that would affect the play store. I'll look into this.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Found it should be fixed in next nightly. Let me know

If your asking that question you have a lot of reading to do there are other threads that explain the process in detail. I highly recommend you read it and watch the tutorials. You have lots to do. It's not hard just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
[TouchPad Development] groo_pcd:
are the nightlies broken? still waiting for the new build with the playstore fix.
[TouchPad Development] woodytrain:
Patience. Observing the download directory for this ROM you can deduce a new nightly is not built every 24 hours.

If you're in a rush, and at your own risk, you could try editing your build.prop with the few diffs (4 additions & 3 deletions) in system.prop

[TouchPad Development] graffix31:
I was thinking their would be a new nightly to fix the play store issue as well. Bummer.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Me too lol. Looking into now. But the good news is working on BT now adding in jcsullins commits and have to work some other repos to fix it up for evervolv
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Whenever you miss a day or two you come back with something major. Thanks for your dedication.
[TouchPad Development] MIKEYSAKZ:
This seems like a newbie question but would I be able to flash any nightly without having a base version installed as long as I do a clean install
[TouchPad Development] MIKEYSAKZ:
No matter what I do I can not get either a nightly version or the 5.2.14 version to flash upon install it says fail in red. I have tried both the 2.6.3 and the 2.7 version of twrp recommended by Flintman. And I guess the only thing left to do is re wipe with the toolbox and start fresh with clockwork mod to see if that changes the situation unless any one has come across this with a simpler solutions
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
My gapps won't install properly, something about setting metadata. I ignored it and it seems to work. I didn't know there's a TWRP 2.7 for touchpad, never saw it on the TWRP page.

@ Above you might need to expand /system and /data through the patch. On mobile so I don't have links...
[TouchPad Development] MIKEYSAKZ:
There is a 2.7 version in the op unless Igor it wrong which is quite possible
[TouchPad Development] Mgamerz:
Hmm maybe I should have read the whole OP...
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
There are TWRP and Philz recoveries specifically modded to work with data media setups, Doubt they are on the recovery websites. I usually use TWRP, but on this ROM I have been using modded Philz with no issues so far.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Since philz created a touch version of CWM, I have no need for TWRP. ;)
