I've used the HP Toolbox v42 to install the following Rom, Gapps & CWM:

update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20150703.zip

cm-12.1-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip

gapps-511-base-20151114-1-signed.zip

After the install, I notice a new app called Music. I'm not having any luck finding where the music directory is located. I thought it was /Music but when I have music in there, the App doesn't find it or just maybe I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone know where the Music directory is?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Maybe you can point the app to it. I'm surprised that an app for playing music does not find mp3 or wav files automatically. Was the Music app part of the base gapps or a supplemental gapps? What about Google Play from the Play Store?

NT
[TouchPad Development] garux:
I looked at settings & could not find a setting for the directory. Than again maybe the app isn't supported on the HP TouchPad. Not sure where it came from, I would think it was part of gapps. The App I could not find in the Play Store.

It's probably me not understanding something.
[TouchPad Development] garux:
Please forgive me, I was able to resolve my problem with the Music app. While porting music over from PC to Tablet, Windows recommend converting to Windows Media Play format. Once going back to original format the app worked.

Sorry for the problems I caused.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Don't you just love Windows???? Don't know if any Android music app recognizes wma's. Least we know the cause. :D

NT
[TouchPad Development] garux:
The only Android music app that I know recognizes wma is the VLC app, there may be other apps, I don't know. That's how I found what I did wrong.
[TouchPad Development] garux:
Since I'm new to CM12.1, I use three Bluetooth devices and would lose their connections after about a minute or two., than I would have to re-pair the devices.

To get around this in CM12.1, I did the following:

First make sure your Bluetooth devices are paired and connected

Select Lock screen, than

Select Smart Lock, than

If not done, create your Pin, than

Under Trusted devices, select the Bluetooth devices you want as Trusted.

That's it.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Given your description, I was able to recreate what happened. You were right to assume the unallocated space would get taken and used by one of the 'sdcard' volumes (/data in this case b/c of /data/media) as that's what I expected to happen. So I took a look at the code to see if I could figure out why it wasn't doing that properly. Here's what I found: "# TODO - grab from unalloc". So, I had placed a 'placeholder' in the code where I would implement that while testing other things, then forgot to go back and implement it. Anyway, that's been fixed and will be in the next release.

The bigger issue, though, is the best way to allow people to adjust the volume sizes that gets used by the install. The "Resize Volumes" and "Install Android" and independent tools. Adjustments made with "Resize Voumes" may or may not get modified by the resizing done by the install process -- it just depends on if those adjustments fall within the rules of the constraints used by the install process. For example, if you adjust it so that you have 5G free on "media" it will just make it so that there is 600M free. However, if you make it so that "system" is 800M, it will leave that as-is since the rule for "system" is minimum of 704M. I'll work on creating a better workflow to do this. Most likely, that will mean having an "Adjust Volumes" option when you confirm the install (i.e. after it has done it's automatic adjustments).
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Yes, "permanently installing" tptoolbox (where is shows as an option on moboot and you don't have to load via USB/novacom each time) is

doable. Like renaming it and placing in /boot - but not in /boot, somewhere else.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Removing webOS will not remove the A6 chip or the firmware that runs it.

You will still be able to update the A6 firmware using tptoolbox.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
If you want to keep webOS, you have a couple options.

First, the simplest:

1) do a "Install Android"

Or, you could:

1) do a "Complete Data Reset" from tptoolbox

2) do a "Create webOS Volumes" from tptoolbox

3) do a "Reboot" from tptoolbox

4) select "webOS Recovery" from moboot menu

5) make sure Java is installed: see http://www.java.com/en/

6) download/run webOS doctor:

Touchpad Wifi (most everyone will use this):

http://downloads.codefi.re/jcsullins/webos/doctors/original/webosdoctorp305hstnhwifi.jar

Touchpad 4G:

http://downloads.codefi.re/jcsullins/webos/doctors/original/webosdoctorp305hstnhatt.jar

7) after webOS doctor has completed, and you get to the "select language" screen on webOS, here's how to fix the webOS certificates:

7a: download http://downloads.codefi.re/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/tptoolbox/palmenv.bat

7b) download http://downloads.codefi.re/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/tptoolbox/fix-webOS-certs.sh

7c) open a "Command Prompt" and "cd" to where the palmenv.bat and fix-webOS-certs.sh files are located

7d) then run "palmenv" and then run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"

8) finish setting-up webOS

9) then load tptoolbox again and select "Install Android"

Of course, the second option is more involved. However, it will make sure there is no left-over volume or filesystem corruption from anything done to the Touchpad previously. It's the process I use to completely wipe and reload both webOS and Android.

Note that I included the script I created to fix the webOS certificate issue after running webOS doctor.

See http://www.webosnation.com/hp-issue...-ensure-continued-access-webos-cloud-services

It took me a while to come up with a straightforward and reliable method of fixing the webOS certificate issue after

running webOS doctor (most likely will work well at other times too).

EDIT: 2014-08-22 Fixed webOS doctor link / now two (one for TP-Wifi, one for TP-4G) and made 1st option more readable

EDIT: 2015-05-29 Fixed links again.

How are you planning to use tptoolbox? Are you planning on installing new ROM? Or something else?

None of the 3.x kernel-based ROMs properly support the Touchpad 4G yet, although it's being worked on.

where else does moboot look for uimages?
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
Right now, it only looks in /boot.

There's a 100M (or close to it) partition that we can use (p1). An updated moboot would have to be installed that would look there as well.

Hey [MENTION=2763462]jcsullins[/MENTION], thank you for putting the tptoolbox together! Kudos on your op for this thread! Very detailed, and easy to follow... Great Job! Personally, I've been using data/ media builds since around the beginning of the year without any major issue, but I do have a question about the volume sizing. I understand how the data, media, and system volumes are used and why they are sized the way that they are, but what is the purpose of the cache volume, and why is it sized so small? Is there any benefit in increasing the size of the cache partition, if we have a 32G TP, and have the space to do so? 200M just seems way too small to be terribly useful in any major way! Thanks again for your continued dedication to developing for our old touchpads!
[TouchPad Development] cdmcfud:
Thanks Toolbox is great,not only do I get rid of the all but useless webos but it makes changing to different androids type-less. My wife and I broth got into the fire sale and it's still my first full size tablet. This just makes things much better. I can't wait until it can be made into a program that will show on moboot.
[TouchPad Development] mpgrimm2:
Just a quick fyi.

I was previously on Jc's CM11 4/9/14 Snapshot with Jc's Philz CWM 20140317 using previous Acmeinstaller5 method with WebOS as dual boot (but rarely used). Made a backup within Jcs Philz Touch CWM (moved to pc).

Performed full reset using the new TP Toolbox v40, reinstalled Jc's CM11, Gapps & Philz Touch with TP Toolbox = All good, no WebOS.

- Tp Toolbox is a great tool! Thanks Jc.

However,

I wanted to restore my backup and settings from recovery so I did a factory/data reset (Wipe for new Rom) to format system, data, & cache and restored my previous backup from just before the TP Toolbox flash. Because this process restores the /boot partition (volume) as well, it restored the /boot/uImage.webOS file as well as the option in Moboot to boot "WebOS" which doesn't actually work since there are not any WebOS volumes outside of the boot image. Basically it will hang at the HP logo if WebOS is selected in this situation and require a hard reset to reboot.

A few questions/points:

- In this situation of restoring a previous backup from before using the TP Toolbox, it seems restoring "/data" partition only ("dirty flash" of user data) would be better than a full restore to avoid restoring any previous /boot files that would have webos info in it and just make a new backup afterwards.

- Is it okay to manually delete the uImage.webOS file from /boot? Anything else I should remove?

I will likely go through this process again and try to restore only /data and compare when I get the chance.

Hey Grimm,

Been a long time lurker and have decided to enter the fray because of the introduction of this tool. Not ready to commit yet, but will have a question or two from time to time to help me decide when I want to actually try TPtoolbox. Right now, I have a request. with WebOS removed and Android installed, would be really interested in seeing what Quick System Info Pro shows as well as settings/storage too. Thanks, John

Something I've just noticed, on CM10 it had 864mb ram, on CM11 we're on 807mb, has the 57mb been stolen by the GPU, is this necessary? Not that it makes much difference overall, but personally I never game on my touchpad so it will make no difference to me.
[TouchPad Development] johnsmith33584:
Thanks Grimm,

Here is my QSIP screen shot. What's interesting is my internal storage shows 23.8gb with almost 19gb free. Notice I have 2.8gb dedicated to the old WebOS SD card. And yet with your internal storage showing almost 27gb internal memory, you only have about 1.7gb more free than me. Where is all that memory going. If I were to go and give back 2gb of that WebOS SD card memory, I would actually have a bit more internal memory free than you and I still have WebOS installed. Don't you find that a bit strange? Settings/storage shows the same figures.

Thanks,

John
[TouchPad Development] mpgrimm2:
johnsmith33584,

I think you are looking at it wrong...

Volume _ _ Your TP _ _ _ My TP

/data _ _ _ 23.62Gb _ _ _ 26.91Gb

/media _ _ _ 2.84Gb _ _ _ 0.879Gb

/system _ _0.591Gb _ _ _ 0.693Gb

/cache _ _ _0.197Gb _ _ _ 0.197Gb

TOTAL: _ _27.248Gb _ _ _ 28.679Gb

(1.431 GB extra on my TP w/o webos! )

Note: there would be a tad bit more if I hadn't restored the webos boot uImage from my prior backup. Plus my /system size is 100mb bigger than yours. Not sure what the /boot size is but I will check when I get the chance (used to be about 29-30mb).

Hi there,

Looking to revive my touchpad after its been sitting on a drawer for a few years, but I'm having trouble getting anything to work on it.

TPTB executes and I see the USB icon change to the HP logo then some very quick text scrolls by faster than can be read (or filmed, I tried) and then the screen goes black and either it reboots or stays black waiting for power to be pressed. If it reboots it just goes back to the moboot 0.3.5 menu. This is what it shows on the Mac (also tried form a PC with same results)

I tried removing android (to start from scratch) with ACMEUnistaller2

Same situation, from the USB Icon it goes to the HP logo, text scrolls back real quick and then either black screen or a reboot and Im back on the moboot 0.3.5 choose menu.

At this point neither boot webOS, CyanogenMod or ClockworkMod work, when I try CyanogenMod it gets to the green Loading screen then reboot back to the mooboot.

Any suggestions? Ive already tried:

- Different USB cables.

- Fully charged over night after first shutting down from moboot menu

- both Mac and PC

- TPTB v42 and V41x

I would really appreciate some help, now that my daughter turned 3 I want to give her this as her own tablet.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I'm going to take a stab at this, but some of what you are saying does not make sense. The fact that you can run ACMEUninstaller confirms that you have novacom properly installed, the USB cable is working and you know how to put your TouchPad into WebOS recovery. My experience running TPTB from a PC, after putting my TP in WebOS recovery and connecting the TP to the PC, i then run the batch file for Windows and after a few seconds, the large USB symbol disappears, the HP logo flashes for a moment and then a huge amount of text scrolls up the TP screen which is the v42.bin running to set up TPTB on the TP. The text eventually finishes and the TPTB menu appears on the TP screen. I don't remember ever seeing the HP logo appear once I run the v42 bat file and text starts scrolling up the screen. So from what you are saying is TPTB is failing to start regardless if you use a PC or a Mac. I have never run into that after helping many friends use TPTB to remove WebOS and install Android on their TP's. Hopefully Mr. Sullin's will see this and offer some assistance. If their are any other details you can provide that you might have left out would be helpful.

NT

Update: after posting the above, I went through the process of installing novacom on my brand new Windows 10 laptop and I downloaded TPTB v42 and then ran the batch file and now have TPTB up and running. After having done that, I have one question, where do you have the batch file and .bin file placed? I put them in the Palm, Inc. folder where novacom resides. I did not copy the v42 folder that has all the batch files and .bin file, just the two files needed, the Win.bat file and .bin file.
[TouchPad Development] zexion:
I just tried it again with yet another cable and now I dont even get scrolling text.

I get this ( posted a video rather than describe it imperfectly in words):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfFFOQel2CM

On the Computer side it looks it executes ok
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
From what you recorded, the v42.bin is not even running. I'll ask again, what folder are the batch file and .bin file in? The fact that the PC communicates with the TP, if even for a moment, tells me the USB cable is good. I would also try downloading TPTB v.42 again and check the MD5. Or at least check the MD5 on the zip file you last downloaded. I just copied the MD5 from Sullin's androidhostfile account for v.42, it's e855d4b2a87570dfe8292e0e60015074

Otherwise, I have no clue why your scripts are not running.

NT
[TouchPad Development] zexion:
I have tried with batch file and .bin from within the same folder as the novacom program and from folder in desktop, doesnt seem to make a difference.

As per your suggestion I checked the file integrity of the download and it matches the MD5 it should have.

At this point unless the touchpad toolbox author takes pity on me and tries to help one on one I think im just SOL. I could just have a damaged touchpad or one thats corrupted beyond any help.

TPTB has isues with most Gapps because of a missing file in the zip that it checks for. Use a Gapps from here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368

TPTB will not work if you don't put a Gapps file in the ttinstall folder. Once you have the Rom and Gapps installed, you can use recovery to flash whatever Gapps you want.

And just to confirm... (aside from the 32/64bit part) Gapps are device agnostic correct? e.g. Gapps for Tenderloin will also work with Gapps for quincyatt

Correct. Mostly. Most versions have no issues or small issues no matter what device its on. Since thats the case not many devs take the time to code a device specific app because of the time and knowledge need to make a lil gain in stability.

Can this tool be developed the feature that update the touch panel firmware? My Touchpad would fire on without touch-screen work.

This problem had happened before, and I use the Nova Devices Installer to get this fixed, but I remove the webOS to install Android, and I don't want to flash the webOS back. I wonder if there is a way to update the touch panel firmware as to update A6?

Did you happen to look at the date on that particular post? I suspect it is very old. I have been using Android builds going all the way back to CM7 and you are the first to post anything about this. Occasionally on new builds or versions, there have been problems with people experiencing what has been called a "double tap", ie., trying to use the keyboard and tapping a letter and getting more then one on the screen. This has always been fixed by the particular developer of that Rom. I have not seen any complaints from anyone using the latest CM12.1 about any "double tap" issues. I have never seen anyone complain about having to reflash the touch panel firmware.

Back in the very early days of installing Android on the TouchPad, it was a very tedious, technically difficult process to put Android on the TouchPad. Some very smart people developed scripts and apps that made the installation very easy, almost automatic. It was script type apps like ACMEInstaller, ACMEUninstaller and now TouchPad Toolbox that made it very easy to install Android. I suspect that what you found is something from that period.
