In the first post currently only supporting TWRP as it has full support for Lollipop. Also in regards to the A6 Flash i have never had to do it personally in the past but i know some people that flash this just to ensure they don't have any issues with battery. The ROM now drains between 28-40ma in sleep which isn't that bad. its the same draw as kitkat was

Lollipop

Well thanks for feedback. I am not concerned about latency battery draw. But will need to find out next once available the process to update the next release. It can't be what i just went though. I am guessing the camera isn't supported as there is no camera app or device in settings.

I am doing this reply on the touchpad. So far so good. Could not get my Yahoo mail working via the IMAP config it default setup. I will try pop3 as i use on my Android phone.

Thanks

Where is the Lollipop build backup info/process all I seen is for 4.x and different builds.

A6 flash I presume requires the pc connected as in the installation to run the toolbox 4.2 again to run it. But it say nothing about data media or whether it blows away any work/configuration done and apps installed. I notice my battery is dropping a fair bit today after a several hours of use.

Lollipop EMAIL client does NOT work. It want IMAP configuration only it appears which accepts as valid to connect to the Yahoo domain but nothing comes in. I eventually installed the Yahoo App from Google Play store and its up and running. I cannot delete the account in the generic email client though. The google email does work in case there is confusion.

Google email client is googles if there is an issue ill see if there is any updates on it. I do use it myself but im usingPOP haven't tried IMAP.

Bluetooth works on all my devices which is the orginal keyboard that came with the device and an aftermarket speaker. I also can connect to my S4 running evervolv lollipop but its touchy. BT is always that hardest as there are soo many different devices out there. These other devices will come with time it just require myself to get my hands on different devices.

I also use POP and on my Android phone 4.4 supports it. But this version does not support POP parameter from what I am seeing. Odd, I would not worry about it I just mentioned it. I used the built in mail client with my camera photos on my phone to send attachments. Why? Since it automatically shrinks files attached to a selectable 10%, 30%, 70% or original which make handling useful. I figured this version should do the same. The Yahoo App did not do it but I should try the latest release if its been added to its functionality.

I am going to look for the Backup process today. I did not find anything yesterday in any indexes nor the new 02-01 release of Lollipop my Touch indicated was available somewhere.

How to update the previous version. I don't see anything online and just found the download method from Settings and Updates. I finished downloading the 02-02 zip on the Touch. But no means of processing it is hitting me at this time. I have done two reboots and looked in developer options enabling show hardware layer updates but that's where its ended now.

It seems once I have it installed it will be easier the next time round.

Bluetooth still not works

Same here, the Touchpad (2015.02.03 build) does not see any Bluetooth devices. (Samsung i9300, LG e400, Bluetooth speakers, etc …)

I left some logs to flintman but he never answer.

These are the messages I get when I try to connect to the Touchpad (under Evervolv whatever the version)

From what I have read the lastest build is still evolving and not much point upgrading from the 5.02 version I just put in. Its a work in progress as I understand it. Although in my installation the Mic is working (I dictated most of an email, LOL) after hitting the mic button accidentally. But it and the Camera are in a tug of war along with Bluetooth to get various device added to the working list. I'll wait until a better build appears or revert to a 4.4 Data/Media build where its all working.

Issue with the updater

First download from the updater.

Then pick the file downloaded. You Will See in the upper right, a lightning bolt. Touch the lightning bolt.

Then, you should be able to choose the flashing options. (Choose "Wipe cache" and "Wipe dalvik-cache")

Finally, touch "reboot".

But I encounter a problem when I try to reboot. The updater always fail to reboot the Touchpad.

So I have to chose to reboot to the recovery. At reboot, the update start without any further action.

Hi

I have the build from the 3rd Feb. Its pretty stable apart from continual Facebook crashes.

Thanks for the rom
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
Thanks, I could not find anything other than yesterday a process which appears using the Toolbox 4.2 again and making the right selections. Whatever they are...

I decided to wait for a better Rom which Flintman is working on and might be done this week.

Wherever that backup app got installed is a mistery I only saw something about backup up some info and wifi stuff to Google. I don't like that but have nothing much on the Touch right now as its in a testing stage anyway. I don't trust putting content in the cloud or Google. I save locally only and keep contacts in local storage and NOT a Google contact as some phones want. I hope that's not the case with this build of 5.02 so I can only store locally in its Ram.

Nice to have the camera working for the odd photos, & Skype but I never shot video on it before and likely never will. Its a front facing camera so it does not make it great for that purpose. My Samsung S3 has dual cameras and I'd us it for that purpose if I needed to. I don't use Facebook at all so I am good there. Just need to have the Camera and Mic working then rebuild with desired Apps I'd want on had and build the contacts for emailing. (Somehow, I'll think about that since Kies stores them in a file and I may be able to use it later on)

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
Ok, found and downloaded the 02-06 build package. I did not see any other package or update for GAPPS and wonder if the recommended one "gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip" is still the best. It seems I'll have to get a filemanger to access the folders for deletion off the Play Store as one isn't included. I have trouble finding out where to go to find the files and after a lot of hunting eventually find a link to them where I don't expect to find it. I am going to start and wipe from Toolbox 4.2 again and likely increase the system partition at least since the default is MIN and maybe should have increase those sizes out of the gate. I have 32GB Pad so memory is not a problem.

Any suggestions are welcome to this newbie. I am going to try the "FLINTMAN TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-2.8.4.0-01-17-15" backup this time to see if it takes as it did not in what I got installed right now. It was flagged as not compatible contrary to what I read. I renamed it this time removing the Flintman text to see if that through it off. I will loose whats on it but I'll worry about a backup another time since its not showing itself or I can see its launcher.

Android Mail and POP

Having gone through it again with another full install. I see the Android Mail client allows POP as well as IMAP etc provide you select MANUAL setup out of the gate. Otherwise it does not want to let you out of the loop to change out of it. At least that's what was happening to me. I installed the Feb 6 build and tried it and in the Manual mode you do have that ability. although I opted to use my Yahoo. Apps client for now.

Its a work in progress.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Well so far everything is working. Although it appears to be a bit sluggish. I did go through the Android partition customization and increased various partition whether it stayed when the install script ran I am not sure. I can.t see its settings within android. I have installed a number of PLaystore apps including Skype but not connected to anyone yet. The Camera is working although the image is distorted (stretched depending on which way you are holding the Pad.) The actual image is good though with normal aspect ratio. I'd be looking for a better photo app though if I was to use this often. Its very poor and the take picture button is a the top of the screen. Horrible placement. Anyway another app would sort that out I am sure.

More testing though. I just thought I 'd add to my previous post for now.

Oh during the install using the Flintman 2.8.3 build installed but there were some RED lines or error in the script. I am not sure what was happening. I was disconnected from my PC which is normal IMO. I am not worried about that until I attempt an Android backup down the road.

Great job!!!

Used Evervolv 4.4.4 on my HP Touchpad for a while.

Tday just have installed Evervolv lollipop via JCSullins ToolBox V42.

Used ev_tenderloin-5.0.2-testing-2015.02.06.zip and FLINTMAN-TWR...0-12-23-14.zip,

Made a clean installation.

So far so good, seems to be quiet stable one.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
I am wondering about the partition. Toolbox during Android installation does not set the partions as per the minimum I notices on my second install of Lollipop.

This is from the Install Guide:

Lollipop/Kitkat DataMedia Volume (re)sizing criteria

system: MIN_SIZE: 800MB

cache: MIN_SIZE: 200MB

data: MIN_SIZE: 1500MB

data: also takes any free-space "media" has over 600MB

I did not look for this while installing but increased the partition more than double the above spec's. I find it sluggish in response. I am going to run Toolbox 4.2 again later and see if I can read the partitioning without destroying the installation. I figured it would be snappy with a big cache and system partition around 2.5MB. I believe the default was 800MB. So why is the default so low (below min)?

I am still learning so wiping again is not an issue. I did a erase reset via Toolbox before this install just to be clean over the 1st 5.02 release. Other than the slow response (about 2-3sec per selection) it all seems fine. The first release was faster and I did not make an partition changes at all.

Hey guys, I read all the instructions very carefully and understand them thoroughly. I've been using Evervolv on my Touchpad successfully now for the last 2 years. Recently, I can't get my PC to recognize the touchpad when I plug it in via the USB cord. I know the cord is good, because I use it plug in other devices such as my phone, and it recognizes it instantly. I also tried plugging it into the wall charger and it won't charge. If you're wondering how I charge it normally, I have the keystone charging dock and it works fantastically. Anyway, getting to the point, I would really like to upgrade my evevolv build from kikat to lollipop. I've downloaded all the files, including the toolbox but because my touchpad can't connect to my pc, I can't do the normal install. My question to you guys is, can I download the files directly to somehwere on my touchpad, and do the install from there?

Also, I've booted into webOS and a tried to connect my PC and still no go. Thanks in advance. Love your guys work.

02/14 build

I did a fresh install (including F2FS) based on the instruction given at the beginning of your thread. I have been flashing and testing most of the latest builds. Here is what I observe when I use Z-Device Test. I did a clean install but i still see old information displayed. It displays all WIFI that I have used in the past with the device. Also after each install I do a Wipe cache and Dalvik Cache. But I still see the applications opened before restart when i press the square button in the bottom. I had to go and click the X for each application to close it. Even when an application crashes and displays a box asking me to close the application i still have to go and click on X to close it. For BT i am able to connect to most of my old devices that i have connected in the past 3 years. It does not work with any of the new devices. I also see when it fails on pairing keys it does not allow me to enter new information. BT worked with my old Motorola headset and old Logitech key board. It was able to recognize HP BT mouse but could not pair. Beyond that it does not recognize any of my BT speakers or new BT headphones. Also, I still see lost of WIFI connectivity even though my other tablets work fine from the same distance to the router. I have allocated 1 GB for system but when i use Quick System Info Pro it is showing up as 800 MB.

Here is the link to the logs-paste.evervolv.com/view/445e4e15. Thanks for the great builds.

Headphone issues

HI,

I am using the 5.0.2 evervolv 06-02.2015 build. The only issue I have noticed so far is with the headphones as follows:

1. If you disable "other sounds" and reboot, speakers and headphones get disabled.

2. to re enable speakers you have to enable other sounds and reboot . However hedphones dont work.

3. To enable headphones you have to plug in the headphones and reboot. Speakers work if you unplug headphones and vice versa.

Any help would be appreciated.

I currently have 4.3.1 (I think it's that) non-data build with webos on one touchpad. significant other still wants to keep webos. dunno why, i run lollipop completely with my own touchpad w/o issues. and since we can't re-install webos anymore since the servers are down, is there still a way to do a evervolv 5.x data build while preserving the webos?

i can do the acme uninstaller2 and resintall android from scratch using tptoolbox. but if i resize the partitions manually, i don't know if that'll impact the current webos install.

thoughts?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
I don't know why you'd want WebOS still in there. The OS is dead for this product as it is. I blew minge away in going forward with this 5.02 install. It seems to be working fine now although I can't say I like the Google product. I have used Android for years over quite a few versions and my phone is an S3 w/4.4 in it. Many things I don't like especially how wifi is handled. To see, select and connect you have to go directly into settings. The wifi pull down will not show any that are available. Switch apps is a bit cumbersome as well maybe it can be run on different panes of the screen I don't know. The Android camera is the worst of the worst. I found a good free one on the Play store after hours of searching and tried a few of which where no better.

I read that there is a 5.1 core out which may be a better foundation than this to work with. I will wait and see what I find out later.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
Well I installed the update 02-18 via the toolbox updater in the previous build. I selected two cache clearing options at the bottom. Clear cache and data, I did something like this before but this time I lost all my apps and back to square one. Oh well and haven't used it much other than testing the camera. I did not find the particular one I downloaded before but tried at least 3 other which had much better features. Once be zoom. If zoom is used to any level the snapped image is well corrupted in mostly green bands. This happened with all the apps it tried and did with the one I used before updating. A short video appeared to be ok but I don't see using it anyway.

I had Googles backup on for connections and wifi but did not see any way to retrieve or restore if it ever did take place since its suppose to be automatic.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flintman:
Well if you selected clear data yes your data will be cleared. You want to clear cache and dalvik-cache only. I just tested and had no issue. clearing data is a factory reset basically.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
Thanks, cache seemed safe enough but data I guess killed it. No big deal but didn't need to do it. Still learning, and I will not make that mistake the next time. Now to figure out how to do the backup and recovery since a full erase via Toolbox 4.2 is not likely necessary in the future. I don't want to spend the time customizing it all again later on. I only had a few apps like 6 installed plus the email setups at the time. Once I am confident I'll likely have more apps on it and data. EG Photos and maybe some music. Currently after the install I had just over 20GB free and the rest was taken up with other items by default on this 32GB machine.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrputtputt:
thanks flintman & triple i can always run acme unintall2 first to ensure clean install since this mixed webos/android i'm on an older evervolv. and then use tp toolbox to install evervolv 5 with data/media.

if i do an oops and webos is long gone.... oh well :p
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripple-c:
I believe I figured out the backup however I've not tested a restore (since if wrong it will wipe me. LOL). During the boot with Evervolv there is a TWRP select to boot to it instead of the default OS. Quickly select that and you are then presented with I believe 8 folder type icons. BACKUP and RESTORE are clearly there. Depending on your configuration with add-in apps you're backing up approx. 20mb or less to the SDRAM drive. I tested it and it went through to completion. However, I have added more apps and default email client configured for POP3 manually (with some difficulty I got it working) some setting I would not expect are required to get it to sync/download. I will have to do another but also delete the current one as well since its irrelevant now. I was not able to get the syncing to work without enabling a Sync Interval as manual did not work and the screen just said syncing email but nothing happened.

PS I don't use the gmail account. I have others which are accounts under Yahoo hence I used a other clients. I will be installing the Yahoo android app but just wanted to see how this one worked.

I post this to help others and using 2.8.3 version since 2.8.4 did not work with Toolbox 4.2 in the initial installs. There appears to be a way to load newer backup zip module as part of the update but again is not clear on the screen presented on how. Too many assumptions are made, at least for me to understand if I trying to replace 2.8.3 with 2.8.4. This appears to be working anyway and I am using greatly increased partition sizes with my installed configuration.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flintman:
In very confused on what you are saying. Backup restore works on all recoveries. In regards to email i never use stock and you can remove stock in the evervolv toolbox. But if you do use stock after you setup go into accounts under settings and select sync it will sync fine. I believe we use stock Google email client. And the issue seems to be in there. Ill double check that and maybe update and pull into evervolv.
