Is there some kind of limit on file sizes in this ROM? I can no longer unzip files larger than about 200MB
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
none that I'm aware of
[TouchPad Development] stayfidz:
Frequently, when the screen is off, my touchpad won't come on, unless a restart, it does this with all roms. Any idea?
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
It used to happen to me if I flashed an update without a clean install also certain apps (it varies) would freeze forcing me to do a hard reset. Now I always do a totally fresh install with each update plus the latest PA gapps mini. In addition to this I also now use art instead of dalvik and non of my apps freeze. I'm extremely happy with this Rom and haven't had any shutdowns or apps freezing (Touch wood).

Bear in mind that switching to art takes up to 30 minutes but for me it is well worth the effort.

All the best.
[TouchPad Development] stayfidz:
Ah, me who thought android isn't for the touchpad!

I only use xposed for xhalo, which is incompatible with art, but if you're happy with the switch, i'll not stay jalous?

Thanks sstar.

Anyone else seeing this issue? No problem at all in 4.3, but again happens on the 4 different 4.4.4 roms I've tried

Dan
[TouchPad Development] Atari-San:
Did you try to flash the A6 battery ? Are you using an official USB cable, the one with the metal circle ? Did you try with a Touchstone charger ? Sometime, on the old rom, you needed to change the usb setting to toggle the other mode and return to mtp.
[TouchPad Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
Thanks, not sure if you saw my original post...

I haven't tried a touchstone. After a reboot it charges, when i unplug the charger the battery icon still shows as charging, and when i plug the charger bag in, it no longer charges. Only happening on 4.4 roms (i tried this one and the 3 cm roms)

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] Atari-San:
Personnaly, i got some problem when i flashed the A6 when it was not completly charged some time ago, it was fully drained in only 2 hours. If you can, try to boot the Toolbox, unplug from your PC and charge it with the AC adapter and wait 5 more minute after it reach 100%. Flash the A6 again when 100% for a for a while. Normaly, it was making it more stable for me. The Toolbox let you charge the TP only with the AC adapter or the Touchstone.

[TouchPad Development] firepower9966:
RC1 stuck in expanded desktop mode, could not swipe buttons, quick setting panel. Notifications, wiped system dalvik, cache, reverted to 20140821.

I am using GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, but i disabled it and still had problems, this has caused me problems in passed versions, will uninstall and try again later.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
Installed the latest update over the previous build without wiping anything. No problems so far (only a couple of hours though). I will report back if I have problems but only after a clean install so that l know the problem if any are not down to me.

Thanks for the update.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Is there a way to disable the auto hide soft keys?
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The navigation bar isn't set to autohide by default. In fact, there is no "autohide". Check on your navbar by going to Settings->Buttons->Navigation Bar->Dimensions and make sure that they haven't been set to zero, which hides it. Also make sure that you haven't somehow set full-screen mode, which also hides the navbar (set in the upper right of the screen, notification drawer dropdown).
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Thanks Shumash, I did a clean reflash and it gone. Still can't find how I activated it though.

[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
Thanks for your hard work shumash! I threw on RC1 last night, and I love the responsiveness. It works quite well with xHaloFloatingWindow. I did have an issue where my systemUI would crash (without a notification), and cause a screen lock. I pin pointed it to be caused by swiping down to view the quick settings. It would work the first few times on a fresh boot, and then cause a system ui crash every time.

My solution was to disable 'Dynamic Tiles'. The equalizer and alarm tiles seem to be the culprits.
[TouchPad Development] crayc:
might be a dumb question, i updated to the latest rc1, but on the site, it says to flash the rom. I searched and could not find a definitive answer on how to flash it. Can anyone please help me out. thanks
[TouchPad Development] firepower9966:
Think I may have found the cause for expanded display and no buttons / quick setting panel. after clean reinstall and retore app backup, after android L theme install I had expanded screen and no buttons return ,also screen flashes home and then lock screen continuously also.

After uninstalling Android L theme , it returned to normal :)

Thanks for a great ROM :)

For some reason all of a sudden I keep getting error 491 from the play store. I wiped everything with the JC's toolbox and reinstalled the 8-31 rom with the gapps-kk-20140606 and I am still getting the error. I am not seeing this on my other TP that I have. Previously I did not back up with the Google acct so when I reinstalled I let it back up to the acct. Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I had the same issue with the latest build. 0827 build is OK. But I was not able to just install 0827 build because I kept on getting media process stopped messages. I had to recover to my previous backup and installed 0827 build. I hope the build after 0831 will correct this issue.
[TouchPad Development] ndinfla:
It was running fine until last night with the 8- 31 build and that's what I am not understanding. I will revert back to 8-27 and see if that fixes it

Reinstalled with 8-27 and all the issues went away. One thing I did notice was play services needed to update after install, that's the first time I have seen this so I am not sure if the 8-31 rom was not letting it

Shumash thanks for replying, I did try that and then did a system reset/wipe which didn't work for me and have reverted to a back up. I think there is still some stuff on my tablet that is probably causing problems and am going to reformat over the weekend as I now have a decent internet connection (fibre optic) and it needs doing anyway.

[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Same here, cannot get it to OTA download.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I ended up downloading it to my pc, from the PAC_man site.
[TouchPad Development] mstreibe:
I was able to download via OTA (did it just a few min ago).

However, for me OTA is never able to flash the ROM that it just downloaded, it always says "cannot open file" after downloading. I always need to flash manually, which works just fine. Also, PAC-man console FCs frequently. Any help for these 2 points?

On another note, what about battery life? Mine lasts up to 4 days if I leave it alone after a full charge (happens frequently, I don't use the touchpad very often). This is more or less the same for all 4.4 ROMs that are available (tried most of them), but I remember, a long time ago with some previous CM, maybe a CM9 or so, battery easily lasted more than a week. Are there any recommended tweaks to optimize the idle power consumption of this device?

In the battery stats the main consumer is the display, even though it is off for most oft the time. Why does the display need that much battery? Can that be optimized?

[TouchPad Development] jblazea50:
This may be a stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer by searching in the rom. Is there any way to have two floating windows? Right now, if you have one and try another, it puts the previous one on the main screen.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
Thanks for your reply, at least I now know I'm not the only one, I reverted to a backup and then installed a different rom which wouldn't boot so I reinstalled with pa gapps nano which worked perfectly. I will try nano with this rom but please let me know if this suggestion works for you.

All the best.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Are you talking about the Xposed XHalo app? If so, it's not part of the ROM.

I will try it. The only difference with the last install for me was using the full modular package gapps. I usually use the mini modular package so will try to see if it works.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:

Do you recommend a clean install or flashing over the last build?
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
I always recommend clearing caches, but if you mean between the different kernels, the frameworks are different, so it will optimize no matter what you do. That said, I simply cleared caches, and flashed it over the 3.0 kernel (and vice versa) without any problems. Clean installs, i.e. factory resets, aren't generally needed.

The keys invert with rotation. There was a discussion a long while back about whether they should, and this is the result. To #2, no.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
I prefer the way the volume buttons work with your Rom, apart from the fact it is working faultlessly. But I do need some advice as to what I should do in Pac settings as regards to Init.d and Wakelock Blocker from yourself or anybody else that has played with them.

All the best and thanks again.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
I don't use them. I have found that the TP prop settings are pretty optimal as they are. The Wakelock Blocker seems to mess up deep sleep battery consumption badly after I mostly blocked google sync services. The init.d stuff didn't appear to have any effect, I think most of it is aimed at phones. Still, it would be of value for users to try them out and report back.

The new one is stable, but, using uc browser, with many tabs, i had restarts on daily bases.
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
Is there a way to get rid of that status bar at the top of the screen, it is a huge waste of screen space especially since there is more than enough space to have it all on the bottom bar like with CM9.

Overall, I feed that android is really heading in the wrong direction when it comes to their tablet releases. After CM9, the UI's have started to take up more space, leaving less for the user applications.

CM9 offers space on each screen for 90 icons, and 1024x732 pixels worth of usable screen space for user applications.

With CM11, due to the extra unnecessary separating of the UI elements, you end up with less than 700 pixels worth of vertical screen space for your applications.

Will google ever go back to making UI's that allow for larger screens to be more efficiently used?

The main issue is that the new android builds cause us to have less vertical screenspace for the apps that need ti the most. e.g., web browsers such as chrome.

I agree with you in part, i would prefer just one black bar taking up screen space. But I believe Google will not back down on it. Their strategy for "making UI's that allow for larger screens to be more efficiently used" is immersive mode. It depends a lot more on developers, though.

Personally, I never multi-update like you do so that I can determine if the problem is in the ROM or the updated gapps.

[TouchPad Development] drmarble:
The latest youtube needs to have the cache cleared. Go into settings>apps and open youtube. Clear the cache and data and reboot the touchpad. Youtube will work great after that. It just happened with the latest update. It happened on all devices, at least all of mine.
