[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] - loaded up the 4/27 build in the OP and even though it's only a few hours of testing, it feels like the best build yet.

i have had wifi issues for as long as i can remember (using WPA2) but so far every time i reboot or turn on the tablet, it's connected and i have not had any drop outs (which I was getting constantly)

I also did not notice the double tap issue. so whatever you did, seems to have fixed those issues. I will update if something goes wrong. but crossing my fingers.

thanks!

Same now that I've attempted to install gapps. I'm guessing that the "large" gapps from the link in OP does not work well here.

Couldn't get the "medium" gapps to download, the "minimal" seems to work (appears to just have play store)
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
They work fine. Install rom first, then reboot into system. Reboot to twrp and flash gapps. Once back into system, let it settle for five minutes. Absolutely flawless after that.

Also, the gapps i used failed zip verification. Disabled zip verification check and they flashed fine.
[TouchPad Development] nightfireblaze8:
This worked. Thanks!

If anyone getting lines in white background
[TouchPad Development] TenderloinShadow:
Damn wish mine still worked. I mean, I have a newer tablet now, but I would totally boot this just to see it run. Won't start though, I've kept it plugged in for a day and nothing.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Try the jcsullins debrick tool its probably corrupt a a6 firmware. Had same issue with my 4g and flashed the tool. Boom fixed.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Ya they been there since 3.4 kernel. Never really looked too deep into it as always had something major to fix.
[TouchPad Development] TenderloinShadow:
No, I can't even flash anything. It's not that it won't book the OS, it won't start period.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Even if it doesn't do anything this should work http://rootzwiki.com/topic/38786-tpdebrick-v004/ doesn't require the touchpad to even boot or show any signs of life.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Mine did that exact thing. I left it plugged in for days. Finally, it started on the fourth day. No clue what was going on. It was possibly the charger droppimg voltage. If these dont get 5.3v (unless booted into android), they will barely do squat.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Did some more testing. OTG on 5.1.1 is working perfectly. 32GB thumb drive and mouse are on. Only issue is mouse pointer is very, very sluggish. But, I only have one mouse to test with it, so I cannot eliminate that as the issue. It may not be the rom at all. Ill get another mouse tomorrow to confirm or eliminate.
[TouchPad Development] bsorli:
Understand this all too well. I used to have two Touchpads till my wife's unit died (replaced with a Galaxy 10.1 Note) and screen just blank. Actually, her screen has some blotches of sort on it...like something was dropped on it, but it won't boot or anything. Only have my unit still cranking and I guess parts as long as I don't need the Touchscreen or LCD.

Hmm...wonder how long our batteries will last...my TP has been charging and using as my daily driver for a very long time! Sorli...

Do you know how big your /system volume is?

Don't want to go into full soapbox mode here, but mine is approaching fours years use and so far, I have not had any battery issues. I attribute some of this to avoiding using the power button to wake it up, I always try to use the home button. Even if I think it is turned off, I will always check by trying the home button first and if I get no response, then I use the power button to turn it on. I also make it a habit to flash the A6 firmware every couple of months unless I notice Battery Monitor Widget reporting higher than normal battery drain while the TP is asleep, then I will do it sooner. I never let my tablet battery drain below 20% without recharging it. My rule of thumb is when I'm done for the night and it's below 50%, I hook it up to the charger. If it gets to 20% while I am still using it, it gets hooked up. Never ever let your TP drain to the point that the automatic shutdown occurs. NOT good for lithium batteries. Unless you are one of the unfortunate folks who owns a TP prone to bricking, doing the above should help keep you out of trouble.

One last thing about using the home button to wake it up. I've noticed that sometimes pressing the home button is somewhat laggy at times. I will usually press and hold it for a couple of seconds. If I don't get any response on the first try, I'll do it one more time before trying the power button. I've posted why I do this in virtually every forum I post in more than once. It's a rather lengthy explanation and this post is already getting rather verbose.

[TouchPad Development] bsorli:
NT,

Thank for the lengthy explanation and basically what I do, and need to read your other post on why I shouldn't be using the power button.
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Hey flintman, congrats on the rom. Just finished setting it back to my usual config, lots of apps installed (over 50), many widgets, running amazingly smooth. Took a while to get wifi connected first time, and it didn't connect automatically on reboot, but it seems to be working just fine. During app install, 3 or 4 failed downloading, just re added them and they worked. Played a bit of Super Hexagon and Crossy Road, both working really smooth, in these two games touch response is critical and so far I had no issues. Bluetooth turned on but didn't detect my Motorola Mouse, will try later with a DualShock 3, Moga Pocket and a Motorola Keyboard.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I tested a second wired mouse with otg, and it worked without flaw. No stutter. Apparently my wireless mouse is the source of the stutter, not the rom. Now that the "y" cable is built and all is good, I can now do some cleaning and put the TP on its new base station as my media center.
[TouchPad Development] ktklein72:
So can I use TP toolbox to wipe, prepare the partitions and flash this 5.1.1 build along w the GApps pkg? I believe I have the latest build of Clockworkmod Recovery installed.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
You do need tp toolbox to increase the size of your /system to at least 800MB (if needed). Then flash flintmans TWRP, as CWM is outdated. Then, just flash your 5.1.1 rom
[TouchPad Development] ktklein72:
Excellent! Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll give it a try later. I was using a 5.0.2 build by Milaq I think on the 3.0 Kernel and it has been sluggish. I'm hoping this runs a little better.

When I wipe using TP Toolbox, can I assume CWM will be removed as well so I can flash TWRP?
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
If you are already on 5.0.2, then you do not need the TP Toolbox at all. Your partitions should already be sized correctly, because the Milaq rom requires minimum of 800 MB /system. Just download Flintmans TWRP and boot into cwm and flash it. Reboot to TWRP, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik. Install this rom and gapps. All done. Here is the TWRP you need, as linked in the op. http://evervolv.com/get/FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-2.8.4.0-01-17-15.zip
[TouchPad Development] jsgraphicart:
So I don't know what the issue is. I updated my recovery to 2.8.4.0 and redownloaded the ROM, wiped everything and it still gets stuck on "patching system..." An older ROM I have on my tablet, dated 1-9-15 I think, installs fine so I don't know what the problem is.
[TouchPad Development] smartinez832:
??

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am using Toolbox (v42 2015-01-08) and when I try to flash these files :

gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed

FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-2.8.4.0-01-17-15

ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.04.27

I get the errors unrecognized/unsupported zip on the twrp and the gapps
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Which version of TP Toolbox are you using? the newest version only checks to make sure it is a .zip, the older had naming requirements. Download the newest and you should be fine. And make sure your partitions have the correct sizes. At least 800MB on /system

EDIT: My apologies, I didnt see you listed the version. Update to the 2-25 build. That should fix you up
[TouchPad Development] smartinez832:

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
That's an impressive thing there, it'd be more impressive if it were part TouchStone also :) (and what exactly is all that? "just" a bunch of USB ports?)

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

eeek. i just cleared my lock screen, and it went to the blue-lines screen, and froze.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
It was a base to a pc monitor. I just reworked the input, switched the 5v in, daisy chained a second usb hub, and built the y cable. I thought about getting a touchstone and incorporaring it in, but it would be redundant because otg on a touchpad requires a y cable, and that already supplies the charging.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
you said it's a media center? what does it provide/connect to? i'm curious. plenty of touchpads available to me, always interested in novel ideas :)

I am pretty impressed with this build, was using it for some time last night, and other than that one freeze when I cleared the lock screen, it was pretty great. Lacking microphone and bluetooth does not kill it for me, but having those would just make this like super awesome. Especially now that I have some apps that make Android a little more webOS like :)
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I use it to cast to my chromecast. Movies, music, pictures, youtube, netflix, and other multimedia. It is much smaller than a pc or laptop, and takes up much less space on the coffee table. It also looks awesome and orderly. I also retain webos because of the ability to bt to my phone and dial, answer, send and receive texts directly from the tp. Just such a great and versatile device. And of course, it is even more valuable with flintmans awesome 5.1.1 evervolv!

Also forgot to mention that beyond mouse and kb, I connect a 32GB thumb drive and a 250GB external hdd to it. For that reason, I dont really store much on the tp itself. Only things I need when taking it with me somewhere. It does not natively mount the drives, but stickmount auto moumts them and works perfectly.

5.11 and Clean Install

Flintman,

I tried to do a Dirty install since most people reported that Bluetooth was still not working, but that didn't work for me at all. So I rebooted into recovery and tried to Clean install and I'm just stuck on the Evervol boot animation and not going any further.

I installed previous builds using TWRP 2.8.4.0 so maybe this is my problem and it needs an update. Will this recover work or do I need to move to your specific recovery that hopefully provides similar functionality?

Thanks, Sorli...

PS - my Nand backup was build using TWRP 2.8.4, so I suspect I'll have to recovery the last saved install, install new recovery, backup again using it, and then try to Fresh Install 5.0.0p1.

youtube and netflix issues

Recently on the 5.02 and now this ROM I've had an issue where 720p video on youtube will not play. I get a connection error after it tries reloading for a while. If I quickly switch the resolution to 320p the video will play.

With Netflix I get indefinite loading. Just the loading animation, nothing plays. I've done a clean install. Both run fine on my phone so I don't see this being a connection issue.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Just tested netflix on 5.1.1 no issues and youtube no issues.

Format system and factory wipe then install w/ gapps and wipe caches
[TouchPad Development] jedinat:
Yeah it seems like it may be an issue with my hardware perhaps... I just completely wiped all partitions with tptoolbox and clean installed the Jcsullins 4.4.4 rom and have the same issue. (though now netflix won't even load the selection screen, infinite loading right when the app starts...). The other touchpad on your 5.02 rom is working fine.
[TouchPad Development] hunter_sephiroth:
is there another download source since the only download link in the OP provides downspeeds near to 0 :(
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
I try to use your last update.

After a fresh installation, i choose my favorite language and then i try to connect to my router, but every time i go the "Network connection could not be established" message.

How can i solve the problem?

edit: i don't know why, but now it works.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Last night i played some video from YouTube in browser. When i full screened the second one, everything but the audio stopped responding. Videos on twitter don't play at all. After i rebooted after the YouTube problem i downloaded the YouTube app and that worked fine.
[TouchPad Development] rolltide78:
How do you install 5.1.1 without also adding a gapps with toolbox? I don't understand this. Everytime I try it says I have to add a gapp. I can get 5.0 installed but with 5.0, recovery, and gapp installed then I don't know how to upgrade to 5.1.1. Please help me with the process if you don't mind. Thanks.

Gary
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Since you can get Android 5.0 installed, why don't you just use recovery to flash 5.1.1 over the top and then flash the needed LL Gapps?

NT
[TouchPad Development] rolltide78:
I tried that too. I get this error: E:Error executing updater binary in zip ....... when I try to flash just these files after 5.0 is installed using twrp:

ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.04.27.zip (this one gives the error above)

gapps-L-5-1-15.zip
[TouchPad Development] jsgraphicart:
Anyone have any ideas as to why I can't get passed "patching system image unconditionally..." during the flash process?

-I've re-downloaded the ROM

-my recovery version is 2.8.4.0.

-I have wiped everything before flashing

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Running the 5.1.1 version and cannot believe how smooth and responsive it is. Great work!

Only issue is sometimes getting WiFi to connect but when closing it and then reopening it works.
[TouchPad Development] rolltide78:
How did you load 5.1.1?
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Used tptoolbox_V42 and wiped everything before installing. Cut down media by 1024, added it to system. Used Evervolv 5.1.1 ROM and the gapps referenced in this forum by OP. Used the "medium" set as large would not work.

As stated before, I am really impressed how well this works. All video apps work without any hitches. Remarkable job by Flintman.
[TouchPad Development] dvaderx:
still having great luck with 427 build from the op.. no double tap.. wifi working great.

best release in along time across many roms and revs.

great work!
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
New build is up. some minor changes wasn't around this weekend so not alot of time to work. I will start on the audio issues tomorrow night. This build fixes some minor issues behind the scene.
[TouchPad Development] jsgraphicart:
So I couldn't get the 4/27 build to install but the newest one installed fine. Everything is a lot more smoother than past builds. I may even feel comfortable giving the tablet to my girlfriend to use now. Lol. Great job
[TouchPad Development] ergo911:
Hi, the double tap is gone, now only happens when tablet lags. But it's laggig a lot for me lately, mainly in youtube and in games. There is a graphical glitch in games, some dots and lines on static background. The lag is similar to the double tap lag, how can I check that both cpu cores are active?

Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] Steelskinz:
A lot better than the 5.01 builds. Really smooth and fonts are sharp. Great job Flintman ! Keep it up ! :fingers-crossed:
[TouchPad Development] ccoop769:
The battery life in yesterdays build 5.1.1 is unreal. And the smoothness. Kudos to u. I've been running every android version since touchpad came out years ago. For being this is new system version, u put out a rock stable release .
[TouchPad Development] chmcarro:
Very excited to try this out. I just did a dirty install upgrade from the last 5.02 build (3/19) to the 5.1..1 (5/4) with the full gapps. First boot and app optimization is taking a long time (as expected). Will reply here if I have any issues.

EDIT: Dirty install didn't work out. Lots of crashes, so went back to TWRP and deleted data and reinstalled. It's running great.
[TouchPad Development] meigallo:
Same problems too
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Try to overclock to 1.7 and set the min a little higher i run at 540 can be found in the toolbox under performance
[TouchPad Development] meigallo:
I reinstall rom and lag is gone. But continues having graphical glitches in games and dots and lines on static background.
[TouchPad Development] chmcarro:
I'm not seeing a camera app and I found the latest google camera apk, which installed, but did not have an option to open after installing. Is this a bug?
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I'm not seeing my camera app in the most recent build, either. It was visible in the prior build, and worked quite well.

re: clock speeds, I run with min at 192 and max at 1782.. wouldn't mind seeing a step or two higher :) i don't seem to have serious lags or repeat issues anymore at all.

re: battery life .. i'm not seeing anything incredibly amazing in this build.. i suspect after installing gapps and having a few accounts and synchs setup, it probably really kills the battery life. I'm down about 20% after being off charger all night ... OTOH, my original webOS tablet is still sitting at 100% after being off charge and idling for 24 hours.. but it only has a single email account installed that is currently active, and is set to 24-hour sync.
[TouchPad Development] ergo911:
Doesn't help much, I use the min freq. over 500 and max over 1.7ghz and perf. gov. If I'm watching youtube it ok for like 30 minutes and then it starts lagging and cpu is constant 1.7, sound is turned off also. Seams to happen more offten when adjusting volume. I think I try to start from 0, and hope that it was something I messed up ?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Shut off. OK Google. That causes issues with audio and probably the lag, working on that now.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
yes, make sure that OK Google is shut off completely, not just from the Google Now screen -- even when it's just set to trigger from the Google Now screen, it still toggles the mic sometimes, and mic support seems to be broken currently.
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
battery life is pretty bad on my side, lost 25% over a 7hr period with the TP sitting idle.

flashed 0504 build clean by formatting all partitions except external_sd.

did not install any apps except medium sized gapps package.

did not start any gapps except play store and gmail.

wifi is being left switched on.

will continue tio monitor :)
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Battery life is still the same as kit kat -47ma in deep sleep. When i get some more time i want to get it back to the 2.6 kernel which was at -8ma in deep sleep.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
30% overnight drop here. I notice in the new build the aauto brightness works.. But its super slow to react.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Don't you mean the 3.0 kernel? ;) I have great battery drain, -6, -7 using a KK Rom based on a 3.0 kernel. Will LL even work on a 2.6 kernel?

NT
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
It could with a lot if porting and not worth it
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
Wakelock Detector is telling me the TP is not getting any deep sleep at all even if screen off, though it cant tell me what is causing the non sleep, that probably explains the high battery consumption when the TP is 'idle'.

This is a very smooth rom, I m just afraid having to charge the TP every 1-1.5 day even with limited usage may eventually wear the battery out much faster :)

while annoying, if you're worried about that, you could power off when you're putting it away.

You could try this
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
From what I've read this seems to be an issue with any custom Rom and the fix you linked did resolve mine running a KitKat CM based Rom. Don't understand what Google did to Play Services, but it sure ruined a bunch of folks standby battery usage.

So you did mean moving back to a 3.0 kernel? Just clarifying. :)

NT
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
thanks, that would be the least measure as the TP with Evervolv takes a little time to boot up, and needs a little time after boot to settle down.

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

thanks, am not seeing any 'Privacy' under 'Settings' on the Evervolv, am i missing anything here?

anyway, i dig a little further on the wakelock issue and found the below - a little apk written by a dev to circumvent the issue.

i have installed it and still monitoring, for those who wish to give it a whirl too.

details - https://plus.google.com/112425488314892935797/posts/VqubRkcTpEE

apk - http://goo.gl/R4n3ib

:)

UPDATE: After few hours of monitoring (with no other varying factors), I can confirm the above tweak is working, the TP is in deep sleep most of the time when idling in screen off mode with wifi on now.
[TouchPad Development] viskon:
I'm losing wifi almost everytime that the TP goes to sleep, even with wifi set to always on. Only a reboot brings it back. Anyone else having this ?
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
me too, but gives it a little time it always reconnect, little is quite literal, less than a minute usually.

i have changed it from dhcp to static ip though (u dont have to set the router to static, just set your TP to use an ip outside the router's dhcp range).
[TouchPad Development] viskon:
I've given it a lot of time, but it still didn't connect. I've gone back to the previous build to see if the issue replicates. I'll try your suggestion if I continue to have issues.

Thanks !

Edit: On the 04/27 build, wifi remains connected and is very stable. On the 05/04 build, I was also having the issue of the launcher crashing everytime I switched back to the main user account from the kids user account. No such issues on 04/27 build.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
The wakelockfix apk does seem to provide some benefit -- i was down to 54% after leaving it off charge for most of the day. Its not perfect, but a win is a win.
