Extra uses for the Touchpad Toolbox:

Reflash A6 Firmware:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnWH7FhaMg4[youtube]NnWH7FhaMg4[/youtube]

The Problem:

HP Touchpad developer Jcsullins, has informed HP TouchPads users that there's a problem with our HP Touchpas A6 Firmware. This issue can cause an usually high battery drain during sleep. This problem occurs overtime while running both Android and WebOS. As a result the Touchpads battery drains more quickly with daily use and the overall life span is reduced. If your battery drain seems to be much higher on average, then flash the A6 Firmware to bring it back down. Users experiencing sudden drops in battery life should run this as well.

The Solution:

Reflashing the A6 Firmware effectively fixes the problem but may need to be repeated as a part of regular HP TouchPad maintenance. I would recommend reflashing it ever few months to maintain good battery health. Watch this video and follow the step by step instructions to reflash your own Touchpads A6 Firmware.

How to test:

-To monitor your battery drain history during sleep install the free app Battery Monitor Widget:

-Once installed open the app and go to history, click the heading at the top "%/h" to change it to "mA".

-You can now monitor the history and compare it to the information in my rom guide.

Mount Media Volume:

Allows you to access the 'media' volume from your PC

Resize Android Volumes:

This allows you to interactively resize the Android (and media) volumes.

This is not needed to "Install Android", but can be used at other times to 'tweak' the volume sizes as needed.

Repair Android Volumes:

If a fsck (file system check) determines that there are non-trivial errors on a filesystem, then this can be used to attempt to fix those errors.

Create webOS Volumes:

If you want to re-install webOS following a "Full Data Reset," you will need to run this prior to running webOS doctor.

At this time, re-installing webOS should only be done prior to installing Android. Tools to assist re-installing webOS after

Android has been installed (without detriment to the Android install) may be provided in the future. Full instructions for reinstalling WebOS here.

Future development and limitations

:

Only Touchpad Wifi supported (not 4G) at this time, use the instructions here to install the Evervolv 4G data media build.

Support for non-KitKat/DataMedia installs very limited for now.

Re-install of webOS after Android installed is not supported yet.

Method for permanently installing TPToolbox (always available via moboot) not available yet.

The main focus at this time is providing a reliable method to install KitKat/DataMedia ROMs.

Additional/expanded legacy and/or other install types will be implemented after demand for such is determined.
