Thanks for info, i sure it not ROM also, my phones also played youtube funny then went ok. Clearing cahce makes sense.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

I just do both updates at once because seems good idea and convenient to do together. I usually back up before update. I keep apps updated, so back up will have latest google updates, just like to flash them to system when updating ROM,

Thanks for you great ROM. So much android talent keeping out Touchpads great.

I'm having difficulty finding the 3.4 kernel version on your site would it be possible for a direct link?

Thanks in advance.

[TouchPad Development] stayfidz:
I've never flashed a kernal before, when to do it?

After flashing the rom?
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The different kernels are built into the ROM (default is 3.0, 3.4 if you so select). Pick your poison. No separate flashing required.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I just loaded another HPTP with this ROM. I have several Touchpads and I think I currently have all of the 4.4.4 ROMs running. I am in awe with what the builders have done. With that said, this one has become my favorite. Netflix flawless, Bluetooth flawless, Chromcast perfect. It also is one of the fastest ROMs. Super stable without any Force closes.

Great job Shumash!
[TouchPad Development] yeahman45:
I want to say it's the best rom for the touchpad!!! I am using it for a very long time now.... battery drain is a bit a high though but I am using a very old version.. I am going to update to latest version today.. thx for your great work
[TouchPad Development] abbazaba:
Does anyone else experience Google Search Voice Recognition (OK Google) stops working after a few seconds? It works initially from every screen and even when the screen is off on the charger. But if it is left for a few moments, even with the Google Search screen app in the foreground, "OK Google" stops working. If I launch the search app, OK Google starts working again from every screen. Its too bad because it just sits on the charger and I love to shout commands at it for music. This was true on RC1 and is still an issue for me on RC2. My guess would be that maybe the ROM is putting that service to sleep? Any suggestion on how to correct this is much appreciated! Forgive me if this is a documented issue, I searched first.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I haven't enabled "OK Google" for a long time. When we first got the KiKat ROMs, it seemed or thought to have closed a lot of Force Closes. I guess all I am saying is that it is working at all.

Clock application stop working after latest update

I am unable to open clock application after 10/20 upgrade. Rolled back to 10/06 build and it started to work again.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
works fine one mine. Did you clear caches?
[TouchPad Development] fahimflint:
Shumash thanks for the reply. Yes I did clean the caches.

To replicate the problem, open clock, go to alarms and try changing any of the alarms. I get "unfortunatelly the clock has stopped working "error as soon as I select any of the alarm times.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
Just did what you suggested and it works fine. I'm using 20 October version.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
ditto
[TouchPad Development] thecatinthehat420:
Really enjoying this rom so far. Does anyone know where the paranoid android settings are? I can't find them and I thought they were part of this rom.
[TouchPad Development] fahimflint:
Thanks for trying. I cleaned up both caches multiple times and still no go. It works fine if I roll back to 10/06 build. will try different Gapps maybe that is an issue.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Did you try clearing the app data?
[TouchPad Development] fahimflint:
Thanks. I cleared up the data and now it works!
[TouchPad Development] stayfidz:
don't have flash

Anyone having flash, or YouTube working? It was fine under rc1
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
YouTube works fine on mine. Clear your app cache and data.
[TouchPad Development] julian84:
Hello, just installed the rom and it was great until i started to mess with recent tab settings. Now the recent tab button doesnt do anything. Can i revert the default settings somehow?
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Hard to answer that question with as little detail as you've given, but you can try clearing your settings data (Settings->Apps->All->Settings). That will probably clear all your settings so you'll have to go back and redo them. You could also go to Settings-Buttons->Buttons and Layout, click on Recents and make sure it's assigned to recents.
[TouchPad Development] julian84:
Yeah sorry about that. Pac settings -> recent tab panel settings -> omniswitch settings. Then it stopped working. I turned it off after that but no luck. I will just reinstall the rom tommorow.

Edit: somehow it works again.
[TouchPad Development] stayfidz:
Shumash, i did a factory reset, and eeverything is fine.

Are using ART on your tablet?
[TouchPad Development] Firesail:
I have installed this rom and it works well in dual boot with HP web OS. But when i flash the Gapps it do not show up in menu. Please help.
[TouchPad Development] stayfidz:
Firesail, try to watch some YouTube vids about flashing the touchpad, you'll get used to it...

[ROM Update] 30 OCT 2014

An updated ROM is available at the OP and OTA download links.

Merge upstream

*] Kernel tweaks:

- Added CPU Boost framework, initial boosts to improve responsiveness

- Added cpu policy routines to prevent reset of non-primary core to kernel default

Enjoy

NOTE: The responsiveness of the TP is greatly improved, but something in the upstream merge caused an excessive boot time (~ 3 min). It's not caused by my tweaks to the kernel, but I think the improvements are worth it. If I can determine what's causing it, I'll fix it, but no promises. If this is a deal-breaker, don't install it.

EDIT: We've isolated the problem. Hope to have a fix "soon".
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I did a quick test on the latest rom update which seems to create a performance problem on the vpn apps. Youtube and other app data are not passing thru the vpn at all. Not sure others are having similar issue related to vpn apps too. I use openvpn connect app. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
A temporary fix that cuts the boot time in half is to use a root browser and navigate to /data/local. You should find a file named "init.d.cfg". Delete it, and your next reboot will be about 1-1/2 minutes.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Does the file related to the VPN app performance problem that I mentioned in my previous post? I think I can try it out myself. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I retried the Oct 30 ROM update and deleted the init.d.cfg file. The boot time is faster. But the VPN performance problem still exists. Just a few hundred b/s. I use 2 different VPN apps and connect to the same VPN server. The same result. It is very easy to test. Just connect to a VPN server and open the YouTube app which will keep on spinning to load the first screen. I'm falling back to a previous backup now. Thanks.

Love this Rom ...is normal that it take so long to respond or come back from sleep?...Trying with power button and home button but sometimes it take a while or simply soft reboot.Using latest nightly 10-31.Thanks
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
It's not normal. Mine comes back instantly although using the home button sometimes shows all screens instead of home screen.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I tried the Oct 31 rom and the vpn performance problem no longer exists. Thanks.

Shumash is Back!

Welcome back Shumash! I was pleasantly surprised to see you back at it with another incredible Rom. Your mixed rom features are always an adventure to tryout:cowboy:. I still use your Schizoid CM10.1 as my go to gaming rom and was sad to see you hang up your Touchpad. I look forward to testing out your new rom and will add it to my guides, great to have you back:highfive:
[TouchPad Development] nightfireblaze8:
Does this ROM support Halo? I'm not able to find it under PAC Pellets.

Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
It uses OmniSwitch; you can download Halo from the Playstore if you want.
[TouchPad Development] nightfireblaze8:
Thank you very much for the reply. I'm really liking this ROM. I'm having only two issues:

The audio is accompanied by a lot of static noise. This happens with the speaker and with any headphone. Even the touch sounds do not sound right.

Sometimes while pulling down the status bar or quick settings panel, my Touchpad freezes for about 5 seconds, and then functions normally.

I'll try flashing the ROM soon.
[TouchPad Development] reynoben:
Thanks for the new ROM. I assume you meant lockscreen security set to none instead of slider? I disabled the lockscreen but still got an SoD today. Anyone else? Great ROM other than that.
[TouchPad Development] sigson:
Thanks for bringing PAC to the Tenderloin

Thanks Shumash for all the work, just revived my TP and was happy to see your latest offering..Running well, had a few calendar storage FC's but nothing too extremem..BTW - your suggestion "You should be able to install this via jcsullins TPToolbox by renaming it something like cm-11-pacman-tenderloin.zip I haven't tried it, but it should work." works like a charm.

Thanks again.
[TouchPad Development] bsorli:
Very pleased and also happy to have Bluetooth access though I haven't tested it much yet. Sound playback is problematic from speakers and i have a ringing sound that I'm not sure where it is coming from.

I also got the same 'Split Screen' error message when accessing Setup and trying to adjust settings. I'm coming from nightly build cyanogen mod for the Touchpad that panic every once and while and forced rebooted, so hopefully this clean install of Pac-man helps and resolves a few issues.

So far besides the audio whistle...everything is working great! Sorli...
[TouchPad Development] ekunagba:
ROM works well on my touchpad. This is the my first time of using PACMAN and it's very smooth with few fc's.

Already hit Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
PAC Official Status

The PAC development group has approved the TP, and it will become official as soon as my gerrit commits are merged. Because we have a bluetooth cherry-pick (courtesy of jcsullins), the updates will be weekly, not nightly. The download link is to the PAC HP Tenderloin forum (you can download the ROM there from my Goo site until builds begin). In the meantime, I expect to be working on overclocking the kernel.

Enjoy.
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
great news by overclocking kernel you mean both CPU and GPU?!!!!!
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Gonna try ... No eta, no promises.
[TouchPad Development] jfsat:
So I love the PAC Rom from other devices I've had, so I used the toolbox and got this installed. I don't mind the FC issues so bad, but for some reason I can't log into Netflix for my 5 year old. I've moved to Evervolv for now, but I really want to come back to this rom if I can fix it. Any ideas?

[ROM Upgrade] 02 NOV 2014

An updated ROM is available at the OP* and OTA download links. You will also have to reflash gapps with this upgrade.

Merge upstream

Bump version to RC-3

Fix permissions for /data

Boot time after reflashing reduced to about 30-40 seconds

Enjoy

* 3.4 kernel version also available

NOTE: The TP is REALLY responsive with this change.

The permissions issue with /data has caused me no end of troubles. In fact, it prevented me from releasing a

4.3 version of Schizoid. It caused all the init.d scripts to run whether you wanted them to or not. The latest fix cleans

that all up, but it also means that leftover cruft in the /data folders may be deleted.

Don't be surprised if you have to reenter data and configurations for stuff like gapps (that's the only effect for me to date).
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Thanks. I've heard good and bad things about Google Now Launcher(formerly GEL, right?) I've grown partial to Nova and ADW launchers myself.

I thought you had moved on from the TouchPad until I ran across a post about PAC-man recently. A just may have to take it for a spin. I'm really

partial to Sullin's Roms, using his 1015 one right now. I'm surprised that RolandDeschain79 hasn't picked up on your efforts. I'll have to mention it

to him so he puts a link in his Rootswiki threads about it. Is this CM based so one can dirty flash it over a CM Rom? I saw your discussion with

MpGrimm about Rom naming conventions in the first few posts. Did you ever put anything in your installation script to remove some of the

non-standard named Roms? Roms like Evervolv and AOKP not getting removed could cause an install to fail due to the size of /boot.

Anyway, from what I have read and the screen shots you posted, it looks pretty slick. Hey, serious competition for the guys over at Cyanogen. :D

I did check out the main thread. PAC-man is developing for a lot of devices.

NT
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Yah, I've been around since June. I don't use the TP (I love my Windows 8.1 tablet), but I get a kick out of maintaining/developing for it. PAC is CM-based, but there's talk about AOSP. Depends on how LP source drops. And no, I don't clean /boot; not my job, too much crap from other developers to keep track of and the potential to delete something needed/wanted.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi shumash, I tried the Nov 2 ROM and the VPN performance issue is back. So the Nov 2 rom and Oct 30 rom give me VPN performance problem. But Oct 31 ROM and roms previous to Oct 30 do not give me VPN problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Note, I have nexus 7 running cm11 with Oct 31 update and do not have VPN performance issue.

[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Try the Network init.d tweak and see if it does anything. I don't use a vpn and know zip about it. Have you used the vpn setup in Settings under 'More'?
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi shumash, I have not used the VPN setup in Settings under More. I don't think it's related to the vpn performance issue. I don't know what Network init.d tweak that I can change. Thanks for your suggestions. I have restored tp to Oct 31 ROM for now to get VPN working. I will try future ROM updates in case the VPN issue gets fixed. Thanks again.

[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi shumash, there is only General under Settings->PAC- Settings->init.d. I don't see Network there. Thanks.

Hi [MENTION=1009123]shumash[/MENTION].. Thanks for the RC3 and all your hard work. Will there be an Rc3 for the 3.4 Kernel?.

[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Yes.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
Thanks for the update it's working perfectly.

With your earlier 3.4 kernel version which I have tried the volume buttons for me appeared to be back to front as with other roms, I did try in settings to change it. Have I done something wrong or is it a different setup, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for all your work.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi shumash, may be I misunderstand your suggested network tweats. I see 18 tweats there (like Zipalign apps, Fix permissions, Enable sysctl, etc, the last one is Enable loopy smoothness). Are these 18 tweaks that you referred to the long list of init.d tweats? Or there are other network tweats? I restored back to Oct 20 ROM backup and don't see other tweats either. All my apps are working perfectly. I hope nothing screwed up. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
One of the tweaks is named "Network". I was simply suggesting you try that. What exactly are you calling vpn? Are you using an anonymous browsing site? If so, which one? I'll see if I can recreate the problem.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The 3.4 version uses invisiblek's kernel and device tree. The 3.0 kernel and device tree is mine, forked from milaq. Beyond that, I can't tell you much other than the volume keys are the way they were set up. I haven't touched them.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi shumash, I don't see the "Network" tweat. So it could be I messed up something.

I installed OpenVPN Connect and Free VPN (Plug-in for OpenVPn). You can then open Free VPN app which comes with a list of VPNs. You can pick any VPN and accept the profile. You can connect to the vpn server. If connects successfully, you can open the YouTube app and check how the first page will come back. I hope you can duplicate the problem. Thanks for helping.

I selected the Korea VPN server with IP address 121.160.181.87. It should be the second entry but the order might change.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Sorry, not even going to try. I can't get involved in trying to work out conflicts between isolated apps and the ROM since I can't control what other developers do with their apps, nor can I do one-off changes to accommodate specific apps. Other users may want to help out, though.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
No problem. ThX
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
3.4 kernel RC-3 version available.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I understand your reluctance to try to keep up with the crap. The only thing I have seen from trying out other developer's builds is if the name of the uImage they use is different from what the Cyanogen folks use for CM builds. Thus names like uImage.AOKP, uImage.evervolv would be the target of your install script. If you ever have the chance to look at Flintman's, you will see which ones he removes. I just took a look at RolandDeschain's thread and the only other build I see there besides the two above is an ASOP build by TeamEOS. I gather from your response you use uImage.cyanogenMod for yours?

I'll report back once I've had a chance to try out PAC-man. OH, btw, I must have missed on first look, Roland does have a link in his threads.

SOD issues fixed?

Hey Shumash, I've been loving your PAC rom, thanks for continuing to maintain it for us die hard HP TP users:highfive:. I'm just updating my info about your rom in my newer TPtoolbox guide and was wondering if the SOD screen lock issue had been fixed? I had the issue with the previous RC2 build but noticed you hadn't updated that post since June, 11th 2014. Below are the details about your Rom I have posted in my guides, cheers:cowboy:

[ROM][OFFICIAL][KitKat 4.4.4][TENDERLOIN] PAC-man 4.4.4.RC-3 [DEV] By Shumash

Rom Details: Low battery to medium battery drain (-5mA to -20mA), h/w video, Camera, Bluetooth, Audio & Mic, Inverted volume controls, PAC Performance settings(OC), PAC Console (OTA updates), Increased 2D & 3D GPU clocks up to 320Mhz, Increased default CPU clock from 1.2Ghz-1.5Ghz, Great for Gamers.

Note:Win8.1 can't connect with the Touchpad, win7 works fine

Note:This Rom can see both SDcards

Note:Kernel 3.0 and 3.4 builds are available

Note:Using the lockscreen can cause SOD(sleep-of-death), disable the lock to fix the issue. Hold down power and home together to reboot.
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
I use this rom and have never had an SOD it is quite simply excellent (The Nuts).

And Roland thanks for helping everybody with your excellent guides.
