Ad hoc connections

Hi,

Does Lollipop allow connections to ad hoc networks?

Because the ToutchPad can only see them if I modify the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

Indeed, the TouchPad is only able to see them if I do not write "mode=1" (so ad hoc) in the wpa_supplicant.conf file, and even there, it cannot connect to the ad hoc networks.

So the TouchPad can only see ad hoc networks, and it try to connect to them until failling.

Thanks.

Hi all. Attempting to use the links in the OP, with the recovery, I get that TPToolbox doesn't recognize it as a valid file .. so I went back to my prior recovery, PhilZ CWM, and then I get "ERROR: Incompatible GAPPS/ROM versions 5.0/5.0.2" .. looks like the links in the OP are not entirely up to date. Thanks :)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricBlade:
ok, I did get this working by popping into my existing Recovery, doing a sideload of the 12/24 rom along with the linked gapps. I had to do a full reset after, otherwise it came up with constant errors about one of the services dying. Not a big deal, this isn't my regular use device (yet).

It works surprisingly well, although I am noticing what seems to be a very tiny bit of lag between touching something and the touch being picked up. Not sure if it's just my brain, or eyes failing me, though.

Great work!

Not working: 4G. Data doesn't even seem to be recognized as being a thing in the UI anywhere. logcat is spewing fairly constant:

D/StatusBar.NetworkController( 3714): refreshViews: Data not connected!! Set nodata type icon / Roaming

Odd glitching:

- Daydream mode works (which it doesn't on any of the "official" Lollipop devices, as far as I can tell!) but pressing the "Home" button doesn't simply clear Daydream and return to wherever we were before Daydream happened.. it clears Daydream, then goes to the home screen. This takes long enough that you can see it close Daydream, then it backgrounds the prior app, then it goes to the home screen. I'd sort of expect it to just clear Daydream.

- First use has a lot of weird flashing going on in it.

Now, just waiting for the extremely long time that it takes to re-download everything before I can report anything else :)

Thank you so much!

* edit: Looks like almost everything is working fabulously, besides Data and Bluetooth. I have only tested keyboard devices with it, but I've got three -- original HP keyboard, a Belkin one that came in a Galaxy Tab case, and a standalone Belkin one. The HP doesn't seem to be recognized at all, the Belkin from the case it asks me to enter a security code, but it never pairs, and the other Belkin works, but it's extremely slow at grabbing input, and if I type at it too fast, then Bluetooth restarts. I also paired it to my PC and attempted to send it some files, but the Bluetooth would restart after a couple percent transferred.

The first time I ran "Pixel Dungeon", it crashed out, but it's been fine ever since. Abyss Attack works great. Battery drain seems a little high when either of them are running, compared to my Android 4.1 touchpad. That could be the 4G, could be the battery is in different condition, or calibrated differently.

I also do note, now, that Daydream mode doesn't seem to remove the currently running app from the foreground. I don't know if that's normal for 5.0, as I've never seen Daydream in 5.0, but it definitely didn't do that in 4.4 on my phone. Going into daydream with Pixel Dungeon running leaves the music playing.

Other than those, this is amazing work. Thanks for everything you do!

* further edit: Noticed while using it more last night, that the keyboard delay doesn't seem to be entirely Bluetooth related -- VKB input is extremely slow as well, it can barely keep up with me 2-thumb typing, it can't even come close to keeping up when using anything other than just my thumbs.

Wow, what useless answer

About what?

About Bluetooth that does not work in «Evervolv | 5.0.0p1 [AOSP 5.0]»?

But wait, this tread is exactly about Evervolv | 5.0.0p1 [AOSP 5.0]. Strange isn’t it?

And wait again, flintman said here about Bluetooth :

Unbelievable, my question is always about Evervolv | 5.0.0p1 [AOSP 5.0] !

And finally, I asked about connections to ad hoc networks with Lollipop. And guess what? Evervolv | 5.0.0p1 [AOSP 5.0] is based on Lollipop! Amazing!

Wow, what useless answer you gave me, next time, forbear yourself …

Upgrade from KitKat

Finally took the plunge and upgraded my TP from KitKat to Lollipop:

- Connect the TP via USB and copied Flintman's TWRP to the sdcard ttinstall directory.

- Reboot to recovery (CWM).

- Install Flintman's TWRP.

- Wipe system.

- Wipe cache and Dalvik

- Reboot to recovery (TWRP this time).

- Install latest Evervolv preview and gapps from OP.

- Wipe cache and Dalvik (not necessary?).

- Reboot to Evervolv.

- Wait...

Works really well so far. Kudos, Flintman, awesome work!

Any fixes in the BT area in 03/15 build? I am not able to see any of my new devices (headphones and speakers)?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricBlade:
On 1-3 build, WiFi data seems extremely slow (taking several minutes to load Facebook or Google), Google Play services are crashing occasionally. Once Facebook finally loaded, the font is terrible (looks non-aliased, very chunky, blocky, bad). My Bluetooth keyboards still not working as above -- one isn't located, one won't pair, the third one is extremely laggy, and typing too fast causes a bluetooth restart.

VKB lag is slightly better, but now it's dropping keys when I type too fast, instead of just taking a very long time to catch up.

Battery drain overnight/idle was around 30%. Eeeek! :D

Sound didn't work on two of four boots, and as soon as I'd launch something that needed sound, the system would freeze, and then reboot.

This is on a TP4G, btw.

Still getting 972 play store errors on testing build 2015.01.03

I just bumped my TP up to the ev_tenderloin-testing-2015.01.03 build via the Update tool, and have tried re-installing gapps-lp-20141109-signed several times with cache wipes in between - haven't tried a complete wipe yet, but it sounds like that is having little effect.

Is anyone else still having the same error? Things I've tried:

Delete data + cache for Google Play Services

Downgrade Google Play Services (as it seems to be complaining a lot about needing an update, but the 972 blocks this)

Disable Google Play Services

Re-install gapps via CWM

Really trying to avoid complete wipe and re-install if at all possible, but if that is definitely the only way to get it to work I'll give it a shot.

Running 2015/01/09 build. Can I help by testing anything.

New to forum.

Picked up an extra 32gb touchpad on the weekend to test lollipop before replacing ICS on my 3 other Touchpads.

Used TPToolbox to load KITKAT first, then did a CWM install to the Evervolv 01/09 build.

Kept partition sizes at default for TPToolbox.

Have tested bluetooth with external keyboard - WORKS.

Have tested YOUTUBE casting to Chromecast - WORKS

Tested CAST SCREEN. Does not recognize presence of Chromecast at all.

Seems to lose 1% per hour in sleep mode.

Evervolv Lollipop New Build

i am on the latest build of TWRP/Evervolv/GAPPS as per your posts. Google play was working before and not in our latest build. BT does not recognize all devices. Can you please check whether the cache is actually cleared after every reboot? What i have observed is the following. If i have some programs opened and when I reboot, the programs still remain opened after reboot and are not closed. If the system tries to open the same programs after the restart from where they left off earlier then it will cause a lot of slowness. I don't see this behavior after a new flash. I believe that the TWRP does some cleaning that is not happening during restarts.

"no sods or random reboots."

I have to disagree with that -- I did end up doing a complete reset and reload from scratch, as my Play services had stopped. Got everything back up and running, installed all my Apps from the Store (because apparently it hasn't backed up in 2 weeks), come back to it, and it's just at the green background screen. After sitting there for about 5 minutes, it showed the status bar, and then rebooted to the HP logo.

Once it rebooted, I cleared the lock screen, and then the screen turned to all blue lines, and I was forced to do the two-button reset.

The performance difference is absolutely astounding, but the stability doesn't seem to be much changed from the previous builds, perhaps a tiny bit less stable.

My collection of apps for this device, in case that might show off anything that shouldn't be even installed:

MAME4droid, Splashtop XDisplay, FB, FB Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo mail, APK Installer, Abyss Attack, Tapatalk, Motley Fool, SetCPU, Twitter, PokerNews, Skype, Pandora, Evernote, Box, HipChat Beta, Dropbox LinkedIn, SpeedTest, Chrome

I'm getting inconsistent results in WiFi Speed Test, also.. My Nexus 5, as well as my Android 4.1 TouchPad and webOS 3.0.5 TouchPad get 22Mbps down consistently, 11 up. This is getting widely between 10 and 25Mbps down, and a consistent 12 up. The previous build was closer to 15Mbps down consistently, 10 up.

Best bet is to do a full wipe using jcsullins toolkit the rom can be installed via this toolkit and already has all the information needed for system size. This rom runs at 800MB but 1024 is fine as well. Also you can try and go into mounts and see is system is checked if so uncheck it.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricBlade:
i know this isn't really a fair comparison, but i've had my former #1 useage webOS tablet and my Evervolv tablet sitting here off their touchstones for 3 days, idling, WiFi connected, so they've been doing their normal syncs and everything. The Android setup is configured as close as I possibly can to the webOS tablet, minus about 5 different sync accounts, since Yahoo on Android only supports a single account..

The webOS tablet is still sitting at 71% battery, the Android tablet flatlined hours ago. I really suspect that there is a fairly significant battery drain occuring on the 4G hardware.. when this 4G was running webOS, it's battery time was slightly better than it's much more frequently used-and-abused cousin. (This 4G was originally taken out of it's box end of 2012, and was hardly ever charged until just before I put Android on it.. Dr. Battery said that it had an 89% battery health, and it says there's a 90% battery health on the WiFi one .. but the 4G would outrun the WiFi by a couple of hours when idling in webOS, if Airplane was on)

Anyway, just something to think about. I'm wondering if maybe the radios are in some sort of low power mode (they're obviously not running at full power, or the drain would be insane) since there's not full data support in this Android..

Latest update seems to be getting better and better. However, WiFi was disconnected when i woke up, no idea when it happened. Could've been my junk extender dropping the connection, though. The virtual keyboard is fast enough finally that i can two thumb type in portrait without it lagging behind. I still need to install Google keyboard, though.

So i installed a couple of hardware test apps last night, to see what all is working.. It looks like we are missing camera, microphone, and compass heading -- the other axes compass reports work but heading is clearly not working for me. For 4g devices, it reports that data is working (despite it being not supported on the softywasre side mostly) but GPS not present.

Sound sometimes completely drops out, particularly in the first boot after an upgrade, and any time an app attempts to play sounds, it ends up freezing and having to be killed. In not able to replicate this with any regularity though.

Lollipop Installed but what a Ride. Now what?

Well I truly spent all day on this and driven to drink now that I have got the 5.0x build installed.

First I did a wipe of Webos as I have no need for it anyway and opted for the benefits of the DataMedia build.

For clarification I installed the following Zips in case my wording is not clear.

- ev_tenderloin-5.0.2-testing-2015.01.29.zip

- gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip

- update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612.zip (This cased no end of trouble finding a compatible recovery package!!!! Easy 3-4 hrs on it)

I used the Toolbox 4.2 package which checks the above (you all know that but I didn't). Also initial attempts failed since I copied extracted Zip files onto the TTINSTALL folder and not the original which I figured out a lot sooner. Thankfully but there did not seem to be a direction in the many Youtube guides or install processes for the DM & 3.4 kernel install which seemed most current. I am very tired and a bit blurry eyed at this writing as I had two computer going side by side with the Touchpad connected on and off to one and used the other to find, read and watch videos to no avail. I seemed straight forward until one gets into it. Then Murphy steps in and what finally took minutes in comparison to the day it was done.

There is an updater part of this install but all seem old builds and Google Play updated many installed apps as it does on an Android phone so that part is done via google play.

Now what?

It seems ok other than learning the navigation or app switching process here.

Don't get me wrong I am happy to read further just not now and where to find out what I might need to do. This A6 flash I did read some about appears to imply that part of this may be unstable. Data or apps lost ?? not sure as I had not focused on it much.

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. No camera is showing so I must have overlooked something but its not important at this time.

Thanks in advance.

W0w NICE R0M MIST3R!

Dude all I can say is wow! Just to be rude to the machine I decided to do this post with speech recognition. It seems to be working quite nicely and smooth. Thus far I've only see one necessary correction. Thanks so much Flintman!

The last two releases of this rom are nice and snappy. HD video streams from Netflix flawlessly at a normal 1512 megahertz clock speed. I've actually gotten away with bringing all my applications from my cm 11 by jcsullins.

I did a filthy flash of your cm12 from 1 19 2015 on top of jcsullins cm11. From there I updated all my apps at the Play Store and proceeded to execute a nandroid backup. Then using TP tool box I wiped the tablet and clean installed your 1 29 2015 ROM.

After booting the ROM once to allow it to set itself up I booted TWRP and restored my data partition from the cm12 over cm11 ROM that I described above.

I wiped the cache and the davlik cache and rebooted out of the recovery. It executed the updating Android script an updated 110 applications and bang there it was! This is the rom that I am using now.

I was seeing 29 to 40 milliamps of power draw during deep sleep with no applications launched on the previous roms. I'll let you know what this one shows.

Also, can you think of any reason why CPU z only shows cpu1 at 1512 Max no matter what my max clock is set to in the evervolv performance page?

Thanks again man. I'll be sure to donate when i'm able.
