Thanks but you don't answer really to my troubles ... I don't reach really the moment that it should tell me to drag and drop the file in ttinstall folder... So what's wrong? Is it due that for my moto g phone I already install a driver that recognize also the HP touchpad? Cause no way to install novacom driver without an error.... PS: I use macos ...

Thanks

Since Gradular attempted to answer your question with what little information you gave, let's try this. Explain in very explicit detail how you tried to install an evervolv Rom using TouchPad Toolbox.(which version?) You say you have not copied the necessary files into the ttinstall folder. So explain what you did do so we understand what you mean when you say "but when I want to install android 5.0 I have failure.... ". Don't leave any details out. The more information you provide, the easier it is for one of us to understand what your problem is and how to help you solve it.

I will attempt to answer your question about novacom, read the second post of this thread which BTW is basically what gradular told you to do.( "Reread this thread. ")

novocom driver installation doesn't work anymore

I am in Windows 7 x64 here, and a touchpad I sold years ago to a friend he wants me to put on Android only now that webOS is getting shut down. I can't seem to get novocomm drivers to install, apparently they are either hosted on palm.com, or the universal installer is fetching them from palm.com, and HP sold the domain and dismantled it already.

Hi All,

I've been putting this off long enough, but seeing as I won't see any updates for this device that are non-DM compiled... Thought it's about time I bit the bullet... and used Touchpad Toolbox

So, pre-questions before I go ahead and do it....

1) Going over to DM format, would I still be able to do my TRIPLE BOOT (of WebOS, Android and Ubuntu native)

2) Can I still flash non-DM roms to a DM formatted Tablet?

3) Can I return it back to fully stock

--- there are other questions, but currently distracted at work....

But just curious about those features if I upgraded the volume/partition layouts...??

Thanks, Lister

TPtoolbox v42

Just checking on whats new in the forums and I've spotted TPtoolbox v42 in Jcsullins TPtoolbox folder.

I did have problems with the instructions for Linux; with getting hold of novacom for 32bit Linux:

"A) Have novacom installed

To load TPToolbox, you will need novacom to be installed on your PC.

You can download and install novacom from http://www.openwebosproject.org/open.../packages.html

Or, you can download and run a java-based "universal installer" from http://code.google.com/p/universal-n...downloads/list"

The links either did not work, or the universal installer failed. I searched the dark corners of Google and found some dodgy website and downloaded it from there :(

I have to add, I find lollipop so smoooooth. Thank you. Ya'll are great.

FYI, 1024MB = one gigabyte :)

You might want to post this information in the thread for Evervolv Android 5.0. It would be helpful to others contemplating installing Lollipop. Installing a data media Rom that now has requirements for an even larger /system volume than before, is a real hassle unless one has a tool such as J.C. Sullin's TPTB.

Just installed android cm 11 without webos, I've not installed 8 apps and its telling me I don't have any space. So when. I go to storage I see 2 storages. Internal storage and sdcard, the internal storage is over 24gb free space, the sdcard total storage is 895, seems the apps are installing on the sdcard storage vs the internal? When using the toolbox should have I did something outside of the data whip?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I have over 120 apps installed on a Sullin's CM11 build. I see no way whatever build you have installed is trying to install them on the /media(old WebOS) SD card. TPTB has nothing to do with how the Rom you installed installs apps downloaded from the PlayStore. What version of TPTB did you use? What Rom did you install? What gapps did you install? Which recovery did you install? How are you installing these apps? I have never heard of anyone using TPTB to install CM11 having a problem like yours. That's thousands of installs. Short of completely starting over, I would try a factory data reset from recovery and reflash gapps. If the problem still persists, then start over. Complete data reset, install Android and let TPTB choose all the volume sizes. OH, and BTW, settings/storage on my TouchPad reports almost 27gigs available to internal storage.

I was just testing out installing various combinations of files with TPtoolbox v42 and it automatically increased my system volume from 700MB-800MB. I'll post back with the amount of free space left after the install. I'll check what happens if I install Evervovl 5.0 next:cowboy:

Yeah, thinking about it, ACMEUninstaller functionality isn't really necessary. My media partition is 900mb, shrinking to 264 would be good.

Just another thought, with everyone doing this formatting, is it possible to migrate the touchpad to an f2fs file system?

Want to keep Web os

Hey,

I just received my used touchpad in the mail yesterday and am really enjoying working on it. It is currently running cm 9. I would like to update to a newer version but still want to play with Web os. To do toolbox, I do a data wipe then what?

Thanks

Rachael
[TouchPad Development] cdmcfud:
I thank I read somewhere that A6 is in the webos battery firmware. It's an honest question if I take webos off is there enough left to run A6.

I've charged my battery and shut it off and the next mourning I've had 95% in stead of a 100%. After running A6 I quit losing power overnight.

You don't have to remove webos unless you want too with toolbox, so it would have A6 as a convenience or added perk.

can't get up/down volume to control menu

Looks like a great tool, but I am unable to get the up & down volume and home to control the menu after installing the toolbox. The only way I can reset the tool is to hold down the power and home button for 1 min. When I go back into CWM6 (v6.0.1.9) the all buttons work to control the menu. I've tried downloading toolbox again from another link and still the same problem. (any ideas to fix this?)
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Sounds to me like you have a Touchpad 4G (aka Touchpad 3G) model.

If so, that's not supported yet. Should be in next release.

If not, let me know and we'll try to figure out what's going on.
[TouchPad Development] gradular:
If you want to keep webos, don't do a full data wipe in toolbox.
[TouchPad Development] rachaelslp:
Okay, since I haven't run the program, just wondering how this will look. Will toolbox give me the option to replace cm 9 or wipe? And it will still change the media space?

Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] BIGSimon:
If you want to keep WebOS don't do a complete reset, just select install Android and follow the on screen instructions, the TPToolbox will detect which version of Android you are trying to install and will resize the volumes accordingly.

Worked great on mine and its so easy to use I felt in control and confident the whole time. I borked my android installation trying to upgrade to KitKat and now I'm up and running again.

Unfortunately, my friend is not so lucky at this point.

Before TT run:

His TP was one that was allowed to completely drain down the battery and he did a bunch of stuff to it to get it to obtain enough charge to get to a boot screen where it locks.

Running TT:

Doing a "Complete Data Reset" (several trys). I can't say that it returned the same error first run but at this point it yields a quick "FAILED" with the following lines:

Installing TP Toolbox in Boot Image

I have several Touchpads and I am trying to install The last version into the boot file on all my machines I use Rom Toolbox root browser on all the machines, For some reason there are some machines that it will not let me copy the uImage.toolbox file to the boot folder.

Are you sure you have enough room in the /boot folder for the file
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Like [MENTION=3826867]cdzo72[/MENTION] said, be sure to check how much space you have in the /boot volume. You've got to have at least 11mb available to be able to copy uImage.toolbox into /boot. I don't normally have any problems with Rom Toolbox Lite. Some people do have issues with ES File Explorer. Here is a link to Root Explorer.apk. Just remember, to change the permission from Read Only to Read & Write before trying to paste a file into a protected area like /boot. Which recovery are you using on all these TP's? There used to be a problem with Flintman's TWRP as it was much larger than other versions of TWRP and CWM. I thought he said that he had reworked it to make it smaller.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

The best way to accomplish what you want to do is use ACMEUninstaller2 to remove your Android install and then use TPTB v42 to install a Lollipop Rom. You just don't use the TPTB "complete data reset". Select "Install Android" and TPTB will take care of things.

Actually the latest version of TouchPad Toolbox is now v42. Mr. Sullins has never bothered to update the OP for reasons known only to him. You will find v42 here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=14848
