Any one wanting to help me? Or do I have to post 10 of these silly notes to get to post to the real forums?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quadrupole:
Hi

Thanks for the rom, I've had a coupe of issues, hope this feedback helps. The first one was after installing the 3.0 kernel 18 nov rom, mounting the ext partition on Windows 7 was flaky. Attempting to copy large chunks of data back to touchpad would freeze after about 100 to 300 mb. However, plugging in since had worked fine. Strange.

Trebuchet was scaling icons on home screens and drawer. Switched to nova and all looks better.

Next is the pac settings. Just enabling halo once has messed things up with the button bar. Back stopped doing any actions. The button settings section is broken, with buttons and lastly sub menu having top headings of rearrange/settings repeating every time you switch to the settings app. When it's like this neither rearrange our settings respond to key press.

After a reboot back button works for a while, and then stops working (across all apps and launcher).

Flashed 24Nov, back button issue still there, now considering to remove user data. If there's an option to restore pac defaults I might try that.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Or your issue is so specific that no one else has reported it, and since it's not repeatable, no one can help you. Most likely any issue with multiuser in CM11 is with Android itself, not the ROM. Try some other ROM and see if you have the same problem.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
Very valid.........or it could be that there is a problem with the ROM?!

I had a different ROM about two months ago and multi-user worked fine on it. I switched to this ROM for performance. Although I was able to setup multiple users on this ROM, I cannot log in to the additional user accounts that have been setup

Hoping it is a bug with this ROM and I can get educated on the option to fix it. Please help and bump to the regular discussion thread where I can post my request.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
Thanks

shumash, thanks for posting the query to the main forum....no answers but that is not the point. Thank you for being helpful and for taking the time. Appreciate it.

Hopefully, there will be an answer OR it might that the ROM does not support this feature. Via a terminal window, I have verified that Android is reporting the max number of users that have been setup. So, have to think it might be bug in the ROM.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
I just setup another user account (not a restricted one). Rebooted and logged in with no problems. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be with the ROM.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
Good golly, that is good news indeed!

So, I retraced all of the work. This time, instead of restricted users, I setup up regular additional users. Kept my fingers crossed, waited for the planets and the stars to align and watched the screen closely. No go. So, something is not quite right then at my end. shumash, thanks for the confirmation.

I did the next best thing. I updated the ROM from Oct 13 build to the latest. Cleaned the cache, installed the ROM and GAPSS and restarted......and then waited......and then waited.......and then some more......and then some more......did I say I waited for the boot process to complete?!

Finally, the screen is up, and I setup the additional users and then selected the new user to login. It worked! Deleted the new user and setup a restricted user. It worked! So, only thing I can figure out from this excitement is that the old ROM had a problem which has been fixed in the new ROM....or some gremlins were out to get me and they are now gone.

Either way, thank you. I have a working device. Will play with it some more and share feedback if u like....but here are a couple to consider - the start up process is taking almost five minutes....my PC boots faster! The Oct ROM was a snap to boot up but this is on the slow train to nowhere! Not sure what happened last night but I went to bed after the update around 2:30am....turned the device on at 9am and found the battery had run down completely. Not sure why.

Seems there are some compatibility problems with online audio streaming and blue tooth speakers? I cannot get TuneIn to work with external blue tooth speakers. The stream is lost and TuneIn craters......will give it a try for a few more days. TuneIn itself works fine. But when I try to stream to an external speaker via BT, it is goodbyesville.

let me know if you want me to share feedback.....and if u bump me into the main forum, I can post it right there rather than this rookie holding space! :)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
A bit of an update......figured a few more things in life with this ROM

The battery issue was a one-time thing. Have not seen that drainage issue again. So, good news. What I did see is some thing is not quite right in how the battery is getting charged. My completely drained battery was fully charged in less than 30 minutes.....something that takes quite a few hours normally. I can only chalk it to something not quite right with the code in the ROM regards battery charging and capacity. Backing this is the Battery Doctor app.....while it states the battery is fully charged, the ROM indicates charging is not yet complete. Not sure which one or if both of them are getting inaccurate read on the battery in this ROM. Will keep an eye on it for a bit more time but no issue with battery drainage

Same story on the wireless streaming on BT. It was a bad call. All is fine but I seemed to have lost all of my bookmarks in TuneIn. Had to set them up again but will keep an eye on them.

Now if only I can get excited about watching paint dry or the grass growing while it reboots.....sigh! ;)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
Another update.....there is still something funky with the battery charging. I thought it was a mistake and a non-issue in my update yesterday. There is an issue. My tablet went to deep freeze last night. Cannot quite figure out what the issue is.

The tablet was at 65% charge when I was ready to call it a night around 2am. To be sure that there was nothing else that would cause problems, I rebooted the tablet and set it aside. The battery charge went down to 64% after the reboot. Set it aside for the night to check on its performance. Tried to turn it on @ 9am approx and the device would not come one. No sign of life when placed on the charging stand. Not even the dead/empty battery sign. Left it there for a few hours and still now sign of life. Did a hard reset of the tablet and it came one and displayed a charge of 13%. That is after it was on the charging stand for atleast 3 - 4 hours which accounts for the little bit of charge it showed. Took all day to get full charged. Did not touch it until it was fully charged. I am going to do the same tonight i.e. reboot the tablet and set it aside. Will see what happens.

Anyone experience this with the Dec release of the ROM? I installed the Battery Monitor widget to see if I can figure out what is going on. Will share an update when I see a bit more information.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Despite other claims to the contrary, the Touchstone charger has always been funky for me. Try using the usb barrel charger.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
I will have to dig for it somewhere.....not sure if I have it anymore! I think I do, but not sure where it is.

I have been using the Touchstone charger for a couple of years now without problems......so, unless, we have an extraordinary coincidence, I would not think that is the problem. But again, strange things have happened......will post an update when I have figured out more clues.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
The Barrel charger comes with the Touchstone you just need a decent usb lead.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
Thanks, sstar, for the tip. Fortunately, I found the original charger cable and barrel. As I suspected, the issue was not with the Touchstone. I have charged with the barrel as well as the the Touchstone. I seem to have stabilized the issues with no more surprises. No more run down tablet with no charge left, no more blue tooth streaming issues. Have not played with the camera, etc. but that is not an active need for me.

Multi-user works well, device streams well, blue tooth works well, battery charges well (with the charger as well as Touchstone). All is well in PACROM land., atleast from where I sit at!

Open items from my end is the long boot time. As I mentioned earlier, the October release was a snap to boot/reboot. Less than a minute. This version takes almost 5 minutes - one minute of a blank screen followed by over 3 minutes of insert coin. I am sure there is a reason for this change and that smart folks are working to get this improved. I did notice that the boot sequence often fails and starts over once or twice before settling down to complete the full five minutes of startup.

Now to the mystery of what could have discharged the battery completely - I have no clues here. Atlease once, I did not see it complete the full boot sequence, so perhaps, it crashed during the boot sequence and bled the battery dry. Other times, I know it was a fresh boot that had completed fully. I have installed battery widget to monitor the battery charging/discharging and have noticed an anamoly atleast once which could be simply attributed to an application/measurement error. The widget reported a battery charge during the middle of the night when all creatures big and small in this home had gone to bed.....excepting the gremlins who volunteered to plug in the tablet for a charge for a brief moment! ;)

Thanks to all of the good folks behind the PACMAN ROM. It is a wonderful and capable ROM and is an excellent demonstration of the community putting its best foot forward for the betterment of life! Thank you all again. Kudos and keep up the good work.:good::good::good::good::good:
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Probably not a ROM issue. With latest build, mine boots in 40-50 seconds. Don't know what your problem is, but sometimes it's a network issue. Turn off wifi, boot with it off, and see if the boot time improves. If not, you may need to go the complete clean and install via TP Toolbox.

Disable NavBar on HPTouchpad PACMAN Rom

Hey All,

I've installed PACMAN Rom KK RC-3 dev recently with kernel 3.4 and it works very well. Battery live is very good and everything works a bit smoother than with my old CM11.

I choosed PACMAN because there are a lot of customisations... so i liked to get rid of this navbar! Can't count how often i hit HOME instead of spaceon the virt keyboard.

i planned to enable pie on the bottom border left side.

Now i have trouble getting rid of the navbar. In the Past pacman had customisation oints for AOKP, paranoid settings now there's only PAC settings. After Googling i can't find these settings (maybe because these posts where from jan-jun and an earlier pacman version)

ROM control > navigation bar > menu location > don't show

Hybrid Properties --> Interface, under Workspace drag the slider for "Navigation Bar Size" to 0%

installed build: pac_tenderloin-userdebug4.4.4KTU84Qeng.shumash.20141201.130846 test-keys

Can someone point me to the correct settingspage or give me a hint?

Do i have to wait for a newer release?

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work, you've gained a follower for this ROM ;)

Happy new year to one and all! Hope it will be a productive and memorable one for all.

Sorry, had a bit too much of good spirit and cheer and could not get back sooner to post. New year means new adventures and updates.

You are right shumash.......it should not take that long. I reinstalled the ROM and the Touchpad boots up fast. However, I seem to have jinxed something. Streaming via bluetooth has stopped working. This worked in the previous installation of the same vesion of the ROM. So, something is messed up and I have to figure it out. I have already reinstalled three more times but cannot get Bluetooth streaming to work. The external bluetooth speaker is working fine as I can stream from other devices such as my mobile phone. Any option to uninstall just the bluetooth capability and reinstall rather than having to do the entire ROM?

I have noticed unexplained crashes. It could very well be due to some cockup at my end during the install process (see bluetooth issue above). I have seen it suddenly go into a reboot sequence when in a sleep mode and not being used. I have seen a fully charged device to get fully discharged while it is in sleep mode and no one is using it in a span of five hours. I think this is happening due to some internal crash and the device gets locked up leading to battery discharge. I have installed the Battery Monitor widget and it does not record any information when this happens. I can see the gap from 100% charge to a single digit charge which leads me to my guess that the device is locked up. I have done a lot of hard resets in the last two weeks because the device goes into a freeze......more than I have ever done in the time I have owned this device for the last 3 years. Changing users is a 'keep your fingers crossed' activity.....hoping the device does not get locked up. Also, I see a popup indicated a com.android.device error almost all of the time when I change users.

Given that I am about the only one who is seeing this, I think it just might be me and I need to do a clean install. What is the best way to do this while preserving the WebOS boot option? My kids like it and want me to keep it.......so, if there is a way I can do a clean install while keeping the WebOS partition, please let me know. I have used TWRP and TPToolbox to reinstall but this is an overwrite of an existing install.....not sure if that can be termed as clean install or if there is a better option
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaraarawa:
I think all I needed was my last post.....I think I have it figured out.

Went to TWRP and did a data wipe. I think it cleaned the slate clean. Connected via TPTools, copied the ROM, GAPPS and TWRP again....installed, configured, added additional users......and all is well as far as I can tell. Quick start, smooth performance, good battery life so far......keeping fingers crossed......will post if I see something out of the ordinary and puzzling. Hopefully, I do not make more mistakes and wander off trying to figure out a solution!

PAC ROM: random reboot and complete battery discharge

Hi,

I installed the PAC ROM on my HP Touchpad over the weekend via HP Toolbox (v42) and have been facing random shutdowns/battery discharges/reboots.

I used the following files:

ROM: pac_tenderloin_KK.RELEASE.dev_20150102-084006.zip

gapps: gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip

PhilZ recovery

The Touchpad rebooted once while using the Pokerstars app; today it shut itself down and discharged ~70% battery while using the Flipboard app; earlier it discharged the battery (~75%) while using the chrome browser i think. I have disabled the sleep mode in the security settings.

Can you help me resolve the above issues? I love the PAC ROM and would love to see it work without issues!

Thanks

SO which is the new Version of the PAC man Rom? I want the Newest 3.0 Kernal Verison. Where can I find it under the BasketBuild Site?

Also Which Recovery is compatible with this Rom. I couldn't find this information anywhere.

WELL, a build is 3.0 kernel unless otherwise noted, including those in the "nightly" folder". The numbers after dev_ in the file name are date and time. Any 4.4.4 datamedia recovery will work.

Getting frequent and random reboots

Hi,

I use my touchpad very often and I do enjoy this release of KitKat (3.4 Kernel).

I use to face reboots from time to time when using it.

I also see the touchpad reboot when I don't use it, charging on the touchstone.

I installed the latest updates (wiping cache and dalvik) and I now face multiple reboots during the day.

Is there anything (debug log?) I can provide to have this fixed?

Also, I noticed the device is slower than it used to be since the last 2 releases.

Best regards,

X.

HP Touchpad Pac Man Rom 4.4.4 kitkat endless loop problem

HI! i have successfully installed the pac man rom 4.4 kitkat on my hp touchpad a month ago and had no problem until today.. the tab is automatically rebooting everytime i use it. I searched around the forum to see if there someone else is having the same problem and found a fix and fortunately i found one.. I had to uninstall facebook becuz facebook is somehow to culprit og it.. so while i was uninstalling facebook the hp touchpad just rebooted by itself and now it is on an endless reboot . Its just showing the Pacman Rom logo and insert coin over and over again like a abandoned pacman arcade system... i tried looking around the forums and also google but alas could not find any help to fix this.. I also tried doing the hold power+up(volume button) but it did not do anything..

for not im trying to just leave it as is so battery will eventually die and see if i can get to the cyrogen settings bu tomorrow..

can anyone help me with this problem? thank you very much

Just got the XT1068 from Amazon and theres a strange line of pixels at the bottom of my screen, (see pics) as you can see, it does change depending on what's on the screen, just not correctly as they should just be black to match the navigation bar (yes I have factory rest many times and checked for updated) anyone else seeing this?

Found this gem of a feature hidden in the display options. Has this been brought up? It's pretty great!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
Many phones offer a similar feature, I know Samsung does and I think LG might as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Coming from an S5 myself, I can say this implementation from Motorola is much improved or better. I actually had it disabled on the S5 (along with everything else) as it did not work very well.

On Turbo it is picking up detection even in a very dark room and it actually re-initializes the screen if it goes dim. I'm keeping my sleep at 15-30 seconds with this feature.

[Acer Iconia A500] Once_or_Twice:
So a couple of weeks ago I accidentally let my battery die, which I try not to do because I have trouble getting it to turn back on again and this time it did just that: my tablet wouldn't power on at all. I searched up my symptoms: Power light comes on, Doesn't vibrate, Black screen, and everything pointed to either my motherboard went kaput or APX Mode. A new motherboard for my model is upwards of 50$, so I tried looking into what APX Mode meant. I'm decent with computers but this was beyond me, or more so that I have no idea where to find the files/programs to flash(?) it. Anyway digging through the threads here I looked at a recent one here and on a whim I tried the suggestion, even though it was to another problem they were having with APX Mode. And it worked!

My tablet turned on fine, but I am skeptical of how long that will last. So, some questions that I hope someone can help me with are, what is a "fastboot", and does it hurt the system in any way if used repeatedly? Is there another way (an app or something) that will be able to tell me my UID and SBK other than through a Linux computer? Also, bootloading, does that root the device in any way? When I was looking around it didn't sound like it did, but then sometimes it did and now I'm just confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for looking!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
All files needed for unlocking the bootloader, rooting and unbricking can be found in the root guide in my sig. Along with methods of retrieving the cpuid and also a guide to flash the bootloader using the apxflash tool - I try and keep download links up2date, let me know if you have any probs.

If your tab does have a faulty emmc and I'm not saying it does...it will eventually fail, being stuck at the Acer screen seems to be the most common symptom, followed by the inability to flash.

Fastboot gives the ability to perform wipes and flash via the windows command prompt...

Root is gained (on ics) with icsRoot tool...once done you can then nvflash the unlocked bootloader.
