[TouchPad Development] Battlestorm:
stable wifi

dirty upgrade from ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.05.13 been using it for about an hour now and touch wood my wifi now works without dropping and dieing all the time :D

great job flintman

edit: looks like i spoke too soon, left the touchpad for a few minutes come back and wake it up, no wifi, turning the wifi off and on again restored

edit2: wifi definitely more stable, after dropping out it's come back and stayed connected all day :D
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Confirmed charging problem resolved. Thanks Flintman.
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Ignore me, did a full wipe, working great, reinstalling apps, no issues so far.

Thanks flintman, excellent work!
[TouchPad Development] Geomatic:
Is Bluetooth as well as camera working?
[TouchPad Development] Tripple-c:
Thanks I will search and collect the new set of zip files for a clean install then. WiFi is crucial since you can't so anything much without a WiFi connection. Updates, apps added etc.

Glad to hear it working now. I couldn't find anything in the threads as the power issue seemed to go back a long number of days and posts
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Performance settings not restored on boot

I dirty flashed 05.19 ROM to fix battery charging issue. I found the system hang couple of times. I press the power button twice to solve the hang issue. I changed the CPU governor to performance and increased the minimum CPU frequency to 540. The restore performance settings on boot was turned on. But after reboot, the performance settings were changed back to default. Not sure whether others are encountering this too. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] ergo911:
I think it's not hanging, the touchscreen isn't responding. Like if you press power nd wake it up then it's working again. Had like that ffor some time now. It only happens like once a day.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I've been having the touchscreen go dead while in use with the build that i installed most recently which i think was the one before the power problems became rampant.. Although i also had a power problem once with this build too. And the browser menu options don't work right as someone above mentioned. Upgrading to latest/greatest now :)

Sleep?

Anybody getting any sleep on their TP with 5-19 build?

I only have gapps installed (minimum package), wifi is on (even in sleep), TP is not sleeping at all.
[TouchPad Development] kane91z:
I'm seeing graphical glitches near the Nav bar in portrait mode games and some apps. Anyone else experiencing this?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
What are your advanced WiFi settings set to?

NT
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
No issues here, it's sleeping properly, I'm seeing ~27mA on sleep, no wifi drops, smooth performance with 95 apps installed. My nav bar is hidden as I use LMT, no glitches except the blue stripes when starting some apps.

I've installed greenify to keep some apps I want installed but not running on background (like facebook, twitter, etc).

As I said in a previous post, I had a lot of issues dirty flashing over the previous builds, after a system wipe, no issues at all. Camera is working (for what it's worth...), bluetooth is not.
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
i clean-flashed the 5-19 build (thoroughly clean - wiped ALL except external_sd partitions in TWRP), but sadly, the TP just wont sleep, thus draining power.

in fact, i couldnt get any of flintman's lately builds to sleep, most weird problem. my first thoughts were some of of my apps were causing conflicts and also because i dirty flashed.

therefore lately i have only clean-flashed the TP with minimum gapps installed, still cannot get sleep.

few hours back, i switched to shumash's PAC rom (5.1) for TP, exact same flashing procedures and gapps package as when i am flashing flintman's, exact wifi settings too, the TP sleeps without any problem when the screen is off.

i m none the wiser :(

(the only 'difference' in terms of setup for the 2 roms is partition format for /cache and /data - f2fs for flintman's and ext4 for shumash's [his rom does not support f2fs], can partition format cause sleep problem?)
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
default i would say, as I have never changed anything under the Advanced tap.

my wifi is WPA2 protected and the TP links to it via static IP, other than that, pretty much vanilla.

i m not the ultra power conservative type who wants to shutdown every last background tasks to squeeze every mA of juice from the device, just that the TP not sleeping at all is causing huge drain and i would very much like to resolve it.
[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
It could be f2fs, mine started having unexpected reboots when on it. fsck on twrp failed, so I decided to do a full wipe (including external_sd) to go back to ext4, 0517 + dirty 0518 were rough, no charging on screen off and weird issues like no notifications showing. 0519 is the one I've running now for the last 3 or 4 days, and coming from that history, it's working great. Maybe try this one on ext4?
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
thanks :) will give it another shot soon.

another plausibility, albeit a long shot, is camera.

flintman has it working on his rom, unfortunately for me, the module on my TP is shot (either hardware or connector not sitting properly; as I never have a use for it, problem is not major enough for me to warrant opening the TP up. read somewhere the clips holding the LCD front to the main case are fragile, probably even more so for a 4-5yrs old unit, thus i refrained), is it possible that there are some system services running in the background that are constantly trying to connect to it, therefore denying the TP its rightful beauty sleep? :)
[TouchPad Development] kane91z:
After more investigation I've noticed it's games that keep the Navbar up the entire time, doodle jump and Pinball arcade both do this, didn't see this with 4.4.4, the bottom 20% of the image just stays static and randomly refreshes. Other than that loving this rom.
[TouchPad Development] Pada:
Hi All . Touchpad 5.1

I Ran ToolBox and reset the device as there was a partition error. After finding the correct combination to allow Toolbox to install cm12 from the ttinstall dir.

I went back to toolbox and added another +256K to the System partition, so it should be around 1 GB. Installed Evervolve lastest and GAPPs Full from the Link.

Still takes forever to get through the setup wizard and it exits and hangs. I updated from twrp 2.8.3 to 2.8.4 and going through the wizard now might take another 15 minutes.

Not sure what to try next. ? Thx

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

UI error's completing install . I get the home screen is black but errors before any apps show. Trying reboot but stuck at the Evervolve boot screen for 10 minutes . Powering down .
[TouchPad Development] Pada:
Okay here we go.

I ended up trying the F2FS file Sys and didn't get anywhere . Switched to the 5.1 Build from the 13th instead of the (19th) and used gapps minimal. It's working now ! Nice Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] kane91z:
I was having the same problem - gapps minimal fixed it for me. I'm running f2fs and the 19th build.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
In Wifi /advanced settings change "Keep WiFi awake while asleep" to Never. If there is a "WiFi Optimization" option, make sure it is unchecked.

NT
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
thanks for the suggestion, but clearly wifi aint the problem here as FaberfoX has demonstrated in the post above; also in schumash's PAC rom which I m presently running, wifi is on when screen is off and TP sleeps like a baby.
[TouchPad Development] hunter_sephiroth:
Is there a possibility to host the file on another server? I'm not able to download it with normal speeds, always would take about 10-15 hours =(
[TouchPad Development] harminoff:
Kind of a weird question, but does Sims Freeplay work with this rom? (or any rom really)

Just wanted to know before I try and upgrade from Kit Kat to this.
[TouchPad Development] ergo911:
Not a dev related quastion but, Yes sims works well, but you won't get to download it form market.
[TouchPad Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Great ROM however I'm experiencing slow writes I guess cause if apps update and I try to do anything else it crashes completely and reboots.. Maybe I need to use f2fs format?
[TouchPad Development] johnjingle:
No matter how many different Gapps and the latest two build of this ROM, I keep getting: "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped."

I have wiped everything multiple times.

Any help is appreciated.
[TouchPad Development] sindizzy:
Can I dirty flash this over Milaq's CM12.1 or do I have to clean install?
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
No..do a clean install. Might be good to read the thread for answers as well, that is why it is posted.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
No, do not mix CM Roms with AOSP Roms which Evervolv is.

NT
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
While looking to reduce power consumption in sleep i update some board files and reconfigured the memory heaps and got a noticeable increase to performance and went from 14000 to 15000's in benchmark test. Test build is posted let me know what you all think. want to see if its just me. 8)
[TouchPad Development] pyroman512:
I don't know when this happened. Possibly after I switched to F2FS and installed an early May build. I can't access internal storage to flash updated builds in TWRP. For example if the build is in downloads and I boot into TWRP, internal storage is blank.

I also get some random freeze ups that cause the battery to hit 0 from like 80ish percent on the 05/19 Build. Using battery monitor widget, all was normal and something caused it either to freeze or shutdown around 80 percent and then the battery was completely drained. Battery Monitor widget said it was missing data for about an entire day (time between it draining and using again). This one could very well be my hardware as I have had this problem in the past.

Anyone noticing these issues?
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Running great so far.

Screen cast using Chromecast

Hi flintman, 05.31 ROM seems to run better. I have an app which streams live TV program from another country that I have to use VPN. It works when I don't screen cast to TV using Chromecast. But I don't see the live streams on tv when I use Chromecast. Other parts of the app still cast to TV ok. Only streaming part is not showing on TV.Using 05.19 ROM, I can see the live streams on TV when I use Chromecast screen cast. Are there any changes in this area in 05.31 ROM? I both dirty flashed and did a clean install and system's wipe with the same result. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Possible let me look
[TouchPad Development] chmcarro:
Flintman, thanks for everything. You are keeping the Touchpad alive. Really appreciate the updates as I'm sure everyone here is as well. Would it be possible to have your latest testing ROMs placed in the Updates Settings? Maybe it's there and I'm not seeing it.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
All set always forget to run the generate file to generate the manifest for that. All set. you can now download via evervolv updater
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Can u get me logs right after this issues happens i cant seem to duplicate on mine.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi flintman, the logcat is attached. Let me know if you need other docs. Thanks

Facebook messenger phone call issue

Hi flintman. It seems 05.19 and 05.31 ROMs have problems to use phone call feature within the Facebook messenger app. I seem to recall it worked at one time under 5.1. I will provide logcat if you can't duplicate the issue. I have a logcat that is too big for the upload. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I just tar the logcat text file to make it smaller for nthe upload. Thanks.

Can JCS CWM recovery 6.0.5.1 (update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20141231.zip) work with this rom?
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I think TWRP is the way to go. I use Flintmans version for all my touchpads.
[TouchPad Development] heavyt:
I am having that problem also with CSipSimple. The program states it has stopped when I try to make a call.

Love the 5.31 ROM so far, BIG Thank you flintman! :good:
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Finally got around to updating from 5-19 to 5-31. Solid build and very fast. One wifi disconnect, but clean otherwise.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Does anyone know an app which shut down the touchpad after a non using time, like on every pc?
[TouchPad Development] real_sl4cker:
Not a dev question for this ROM.

You can find automation apps which can do that for you on Play Store, for example Tasker, e-robot, AutomateIt etc.

[TouchPad Development] venkythegeek:
I was wondering if "ok google" from any screen is working for anyone reliably. Should I downgrade to a different version where it is more reliable? Seems like an amazing feature if and when it works.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Using the microphone at all in 5.1.x is an invitation for a crash for me. Worked fine in the last 5.0.x build, as long as auto detection was shut off completely and Google triggered by touch. This has been a problem ever since 4.x when the now launcher came out. Sometimes happens on my nexus 5 too.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
New build up. While looking through the kernel I fixed up a few warnings in the logs. There are also some google updates from AOSP in here as well.
[TouchPad Development] floxigen:
Is bluetooth still not working ?
[TouchPad Development] branpurn:
I wasn't able to see a newer 4.0 bluetooth speaker but I haven't tried any other devices with it

'Ok Google' seems to be working ok for me on 5/31 build
[TouchPad Development] vik5:
Bluetooth not working.HP touchpad cannot see any device,but phone will see touchpad but wont connect.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
BT has always been touchy on the tp. Working some BT stuff ATM in the kernel. Hopefully get some more working on
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I've used a 4.1 build that was perfect on BT.. But 4.1 is a ux\ui nightmare.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
A lot in Bluetooth has changed over the years with dropped support from android. To me BT is low priority as my speaker and keyboard work and i don't even use them. My big issue is power consumption and that is what i have been focusing on. Bluetooth is one giant hack ever since the drop of bluedroid.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
+1, other words would be kludge or abomination.
[TouchPad Development] chmcarro:
Flintman, still pretty stable on the latest release. Some comments... I notice on some games the screen flashes blue with lines before it loads the game. Games developed by King run very smooth, but Crossy Road is has quite a bit of jagginess.

When I was on vacation using a different Wifi, I think I ran into the known WPA2 encryption issue. I can't confirm if it was WPA2, but I can say I was getting failed when typing the correct password, which was long and contained both numbers and letters. If I used a short number only inccorect password, the credentials were accepted and saved in the connection file, but could not be modified to the correct password. Hope this helps.

Also, can you make a recommendation on a more recent gapps? Seems to take some time for them to update in the playstore after a dirty install.

Thanks for everything.
[TouchPad Development] BuffMcBigHuge:

I'm really loving the performance of 5.1.1, I came from milaq's 5.0.2 build, and I've discovered a boost in frame rate and overall responsiveness. Kudos!

But as with all the Lollipop builds, I cannot get xposed working. I've tried flashing xposed alpha 4 here, along with installed the APK here. I am able to get xposed alpha 4 working on my 5.1.1 CM HTC One m7 and 5.1.1 stock Nexus 5.

I get performance drops, process UI crashes, and other oddities on the Touchpad. I guess I can't have it all. I'll keep testing. :fingers-crossed:

By the way, Viper4Android audio mod works fantastic, and is highly recommended! Learn more here.
[TouchPad Development] venkythegeek:
so is it reliable for you from any screen? I have found that the mic works sometimes then it stops working and sometimes it crashes the whole touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] RBJ26:
Same here, good to know it not just my touchpad.

Other then that, latest build is working great.

Thanks Flintman!
[TouchPad Development] giorgoxxi:
Great release, very stable. Few comments:

- The mic sometimes stops working, needs a reboot to make it work again.

- I had problems with the touchstone, kept on crashing Clock

- Does anyone know how to get MX Player working with HW decoding? Or recomend an alternative video player?

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Have been working the mic the last few days. New test build up. Read all under download. 'Ok Google" 8)
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Pretty sure I have the wifi issues solved. I have connected to every type first time. Missed one line in init.rc which I thought was there but somehow got removed somewhere. Running a clean build now without all my logs and if good ill release in the next hour or so.

BUILD IS UP.
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Thanks for your continuing outstanding work on the TP. However, after installing the 06/19 build, I am unable to shut off WiFi. While connecting is superb, I cannot disconnect either from the tab or from settings.
[TouchPad Development] heavyt:
Yes, WiFi can't be turn off
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Airplane mode works though right?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Wasn't aware. Just checked mine and clean install shut right off. What are you seeing when you turn it off?? Ill play around with it more tonight to see if i can duplicate.
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Still not shutting down after several reboots. I did a "dirty" flash after wiping cache and dalvik cache. Trying to avoid a complete clean reinstall but might have to.

From the pull down menu it does nothing when I attempt to turn it off, in settings I turn off WiFi but it continues to stay on.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
If you can go push a log right after you try and shut it down. Use the bug report in evtoolbox.
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Here is the link:http://paste.evervolv.com/view/ab78b54e
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Backup and try a clean install see if it fixes it if not you can restore without loosing anything if it fixes it just restore your apps via titanium backup.
[TouchPad Development] cwstorm:
I also did a "dirty" flash of 6/19 over 5/30 ROM after wiping cache and dalvik cache. I'm able to turn wifi off from the pull-down menu.
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Does this one work with the 4g version with data working ? Been a while since I fooled with ours. Thinking about getting a 4g version.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
No 4g data yet i need to dig back into that. I hit some dead ends. But may pick that back up. Have a new idea on that.
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Awesome. Which version do you recommend for a 4g touchpad. Seems you had it setup on 4.3?
[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
Thank you for your hard work.

Can you move the battery percentage number out of the battery icon, like next to the icon? The number is two small and can not be seen if it's put inside the icon.
[TouchPad Development] nemogamo:
can't wait for your work on 4G, flintman.. :fingers-crossed:
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
Did the "clean" install of 6/19 and now turning off the WiFi is working just fine. Thank you again Flintman for your outstanding work.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
My 4g is bricked. Must have drained the battery all the way down. Ill have to unbrick it 8(
[TouchPad Development] puhleez:
I have one too that is bricked (not 4g though).. Let us know what method worked for you if you are successful? I've tried almost all I can find save for taking it apart.

[TouchPad Development] FaberfoX:
Working great here, mine sits in the touchstone most of the time, previously almost always after a day on it, wifi would be disconnected and I had to turn it off and back on, a few times had to reboot, hasn't happened now so far.

Only thing I've noticed is that after dirty flashing, only about 20 apps (of the close to 100 I have installed) get optimized with the spinning anim, and then once I have a launcher I see dex2oat running for a long while (using my app on the sig, afaik, optimizing the remaining apps). Is this normal on 5.1?

Great performance after this initial time, that in my case lasts for quite long. I'm not using the mic so can't comment on that.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Haven't had a mic crash in over a day now. Have noticed problems in all apps using vertical scrolling -- moving a list up and down or scrolling a web page often results in tearing or stretching of the image. Having phantom touches on the bottom side of the screen as well, in all apps. Have been having issues with googles Inbox app swiping the wrong emails away. Also camera is rotated 90deg off.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Suggest when you dirty flash you also wipe /system. All your data is still there, but this eliminates may issues that occur when upgrading ROMs.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
{Phantom touches on a particular part of the screen can indicate a hardware problem, bad digitizer. One way to be sure would be restore a previous known good build and see if the problem still exists.

NT
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Yeah good point. Ill try that soon. Its appearing quite similarly to the keyboard problem that we had way back,but not nearly as often.

I woke up after saying i hadn't had a mic sound crash in a day and it was crashed. Haven't had one since.

The screen tearing when scrolling only occurs when I'm in portrait mode, landscape looks normal. Anyone else seeing that? Also I'm not seeing any phantom touches thru this entire message so i wonder if that is only occurring in portrait too.. Or if whatever did cause it went away otherwise.
[TouchPad Development] venkythegeek:
So the always on Mic for "ok google" is stable now? I have not updated for a while , was wondering if the mic performance is better now
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Did you read the post just above yours?

NT
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Its def better than it was, but I'm still seeing occasional sound drops and related crashes. I haven't used Google launcher at all though so i can only testify as to whether its working from the Google now screen

I ran into a minor issue today when I changed my exchange account password. The email app prompted me with a notification to change the password, but when I clicked there is no app opening to edit the password with, if that makes any sense. Is this a ROM issue?
