[TouchPad Development] iknight8:
Sorry, I meant Android and WebOS :)... I wish it was iOS and WebOS...

But I think after reading through it looks like the installation will only affect the Android partition or am I wrong?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
A couple of questions, do you still use WebOS? What version and build of Android do you have installed? Do you understand the steps needed to install Evervolv/Lollipop? Have you ever used TouchPad Toolbox to install a data media Android Rom?

Depending on what version of Android as well as which recovery, you will be able to install Evervolv 5.1.1 and keep WebOS. Not sure why you would want to keep WebOS. Getting rid of WebOS frees up around 5gb of memory for Android to use.

Guys i have tried to install the last nightlies of the rom 6.0.1 and i have tried to install the GApps nano and stock but the touchpad toolbox always say "the GApps/ROM are not compatible" wtf ! I'm about to be crazy help me please
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Guillaume, flash the TWRP 3.0 recovery, boot into twrp and try flashing the new rom and gapps again. You did increase the size of /system to at least 1gb, right? The tptoolbox is mostly useful for resizing memory layout, but I still keep it loaded in /boot. There are reports of some issues with it and the newer roms.

Has the 3.4 kernel battery life improved on this build?:confused:
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Generally, battery life on 3.0 kernels is much better than 3.4. Best way to find out if it gets what you want is to install it and use it for a few days. Make a Nandroid backup before you start and if you don't like what you see, restore it and no foul. What are you currently using?

[TouchPad Development] psychotropic:
Breathed new life into my TP. I might try Marshmallow if this works out. Wonderful build, just had to install the ROM and Gapps separately. When I installed back to back in TWRP without rebooting, it gave me a boot error with invalid uimage size. Working well so far with no problems.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
6.0 Marshmallow is getting -2mA draws i haven't added to this build as i usually don't go backwards. This rom (Lollipop) was still running -26mA
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
What do you suppose Google did on their marshmallow build that improved battery life so dramatically using a 3.4 kernel?

I understand your reluctance to go backwards, why lose the improvements in the 3-4 kernel just to improve battery life. Personally I don't believe a -26 mA draw is that bad anyway. I have always said that the best battery saver in the world is turning it off!

And, there is always the exception to the rule, that is why I used the word "generally".

Rootzwiki has been acting weird lately. Sometimes it acts like the forum is offline or down and today, it asked me to reset my password which I've had for over four years. Anyway, send an email to Kyle N. at mobile@vssupportqueue.com and explain the problem you are having. If anyone can fix you up, he can. He is one of the mods for Rootzwiki.

[TouchPad Development] irha:
Is this ROM still being maintained? I went from jcsullin's KK ROM directly to the build posted in this thread and it seems to work fine so far. However, I noticed newer nightlys from the built-in updater, but it went into some sort of a bootloop, so I went back to the prior build. Are the nightlys currently broken?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
The Evervolv Team is currently developing Android 7.0, Nougat. However, you did not explain how you tried to move from a CM Rom to an Evervolv Rom. They are not compatible, so you must do a clean install of Evervolv. Best way is use TouchPad Toolbox, do a complete data reset and install Lollipop. If you did not do it correctly, that is most likely why you got a boot loop.

NT
[TouchPad Development] irha:
I used TPToolbox to do a complete wipe (including partitions), and then while installing Evervolv, I adjusted the partitions such that system partition is at least 1GB (instead of the default 800MB). I then used ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.10.02.zip and gapps-5.1-2015-07-03-13-41.zip to install LP. I couldn't install gapps directly, as TPToolbox didn't recognize it, so I first installed pa_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1-20150418-signed.zip and then immediately (before the first OS boot), went into TWRP and installed gapps-5.1-2015-07-03-13-41.zip. After using for a week or so, I noticed the availability of the the nightlys in the updater tool and decided to give it a try. That is when I got into a boot loop.

Interestingly, the Evervolv logo is quite different in the nightly compared to the in ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.10.02.zip. The former was quite cheesy, while the later looked nice and professional.
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing and before rebooting?

Also, if you went from 5.x to 6.x or even nougat, you should do a nandroid, then a clean install and restore your data and see if you have any issues that way.
[TouchPad Development] irha:
I did a full wipe with no partitions left, so there is no need to wipe any caches.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I would stay away from using the updater and just use recovery(TWRP) to flash the newer version you want to try.

[TouchPad Development] HankB:
Install woes: I'm following the instructions on the front page using Touchpad Toolbox v42 2015-01-08 (*) I started with a Complete Data Reset as there is nothing I need to save. I tried loading the following files:

Touchpad Toolbox seems happy with ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.10.02.zip but complains about both versions of recovery and gapps with the unrecognized/unsupported zip error. I've checked the integrity of all of the zip files and they are good (according to 'unzip -t')

Suggestions for how to resolve this would be really welcome.

Edit: Found a working recovery at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756314 (FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-2.8.3.0-12-23-14.zip)

Edit.2: Found a compatible gapps: pa_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1-20150418-signed.zip

TWRP install is proceeding. :D

Thanks!

(*) Aside from the fact that Touchpad Toolbox is an incredible bit of S/W the use if an ISO-8601 format date warms the cockles of this old man's heart. :D
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Just for the record, TouchPad Toolbox v.42 will only work with the recoveries and Gapps recommended in the OP of Sullin's TPTB thread. Once you have the Rom and

recommended Gapps installed, you can then use the installed recovery to change to a different one as well as a different Gapps. I believe if you read enough, you will

find that this has been discussed in this thread as well as Sullin's thread.

[TouchPad Development] chinesestunna:
Great job on a solid ROM! Long live our TPs :)

So I think I might be missing something here but I've tried both the PAC-ROM 5.1.1 and the Evervolv 5.1.1 ROM here, but Chome will force close upon launch, no matter what I try or how many wipes. Any clues folks?
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Try Puffin or Firefox...

Which GApps did you try?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You might want to try explaining in more detail how you are installing these Roms. Are you using TPTB or recovery? Have you tried a clean install after using TPTB to do a "Complete Data Reset"? Do you know that development on Android 5 based Roms has stopped? We are up to Android 7 based Roms now. So any issues that exist with the current Rom, last Pacrom build was Dec. 8, 2016, are not likely going to get addressed or fixed. Understand, the higher version of Android you try, it's likely you will run into more issues. The more details you provide, the better one of us can help you.

NT
[TouchPad Development] chinesestunna:
Oops apologies for the lack of details. I originally installed PAC-ROM 5.1.1 using TPPB and removed WebOS along with resizing /system partition so it's large enough for 5.1 ROMs. It suffered the same Chrome bug I'm describing above and I dropped down to a KK4.4 CM based ROM in which Chrome worked fine but Plex did not. I then did a full wipe from TWRP, /system /data /cache dalvick and installed this build so I believe it's a clean install.

I'm open to moving to Nougat but purposely stayed back figuring the last LP builds would be a more mature/stable for daily use.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Have you ever tried Kodi? I guess the question is what are you looking for, a stable, mature Rom or something bleeding edge? Most builds past KitKat are going to have little gotchas you will have to live with.

NT
[TouchPad Development] chinesestunna:
Yep I was a Kodi user before but Plex just manages my library much better with a centralized DB. Anyways, the glitch with KK4.4 ROM and Plex seems to be related to the WiFi driver performance, intermittently dropping connections without actually showing it on the icon.

I was trying to find a LP 5.1.1 build that had working chrome, which would really complete my ideal experience as at this point, the TP is more of a night stand display/hub

NT
[TouchPad Development] yeahman45:
Ah ok will just use firefox then. Working great so far and YouTube is much smoother on this rom
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You could always switch to a different Rom. I've been running J.C. Sullin's CM11 without any browser issues. I use Chrome on it all the time. Have you tried clearing cache and Dalvik? What about uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling? What about restoring a Nandroid backup? You did not give much info on how and when the problem started or what you have done to try to fix it.

One thing I can't figure out though is if additional user support is in. I go to settings and see nothing, but if I search "user" in the settings menu the options for setting up additional users is there however selecting it brings up a blank page.

UPDATE:

So im currently working on getting the touchpad 4g up and going last night i was able to finally get the RIL going on the 4g. I don't have a data plan ATM but going to be adding soon. There still is a bunch of work before we are at the level of kitkat. I'm working on the RIL on the 4g which is one of the last big ideas other then the camera. Once i get data working well which should be today i plan on hitting a bunch of the smaller stuff. Evervolv started fresh pulls with lollipop so there is bunch of stuff to add in but the group has worked hard to get alot going. If all goes good today ill have a preview of the 4g model later today or tomorrow. Camera is my low priority ATM. I do have some of the code done for the camera but i have it on hold for now. Oh one additional thing is i got the battery draw down to -23ma in sleep

[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION], any ideas on what is causing the massive slowness with the Lollipop UI on the TouchPad (compared to KitKat anyway)? Kinda curious as the Lollipop UI has been massively faster on all other phones I've installed various 5.0 Alpha ROMs on.

BTW, just installed the latest build and will check out the battery drain in idle. Awesome work dude.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Its on my list. I've been trying a few different things to speed it up haven't nailed it down yet. That's why i added over clock to 1.7. It helps a little bit. 1.5 seems to be the best. Ill get it, I'm determined. 8).

Nexus 7 2012 is much faater hardware and it still runs sluggish on them. I doubt lollipop will run like kitkat did. I know you know what your doing. And you will improve it. But keep that in mind. Rolling nexus back to kitkat.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Art is new its a lot different then it was in kitkat and i feel Google jumped the gun on it but with time it will get better dalvik was around for years before the switch.
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Lollipop and art were pushed out to early in my opinion. Three factory nexus devices here. With OTA lollipop. Not happy with any if them. So i agree with you 100% on jumping the gun. Happy for the devs here and helpful users to sort it out and make it what it should be.

[AirDroid] badplanet:
I like to tinker with wearables like Pebbles,Sony Smartwatches, Android Wear Watches, Meta Watch, etc. I have purchased about 8 of these and have managed write apps to talk to the Pebbles via WP8 and Windows 7.

I have a Nexus 7 Kit Kat 4.4 tablet and have been able to download the official companion apps for some of the devices. Google Play will not let me download some of the APKs because they require a phone and a tablet isn't supported even though it usually works.

So what I would like to do is purchase a low cost, contract free, Android phone that has at least Kit Kat 4.4 on it and download the wearable companion app on it. Then use the Air Droid app to pull the companions wearable APK off the phone to the Nexus tablet.

The question is would I have to root the Android phone to be able to use Air Droid to pull a copy of th APK?
[AirDroid] Hearst:
Google has blocked write access to the external SD card on Android 4.4. If you want to move files to the external SD card on Kit Kat, the phone has to be rooted. If you just want to copy files from it, this is supported.
[AirDroid] raptir:
That's not really true. Applications are not blocked from writing to the external SD card, they are just restricted to their own folder on the SD card. That said, it really has nothing to do with this topic since the OP did not mention using an SD card at all.

To answer your question, there are many applications that can backup APKs without using root like Astro, ES File Explorer, etc... I believe Airdroid is capable of doing so, but even if it's not there are other options. You could also definitely use Airdroid to get the APK off the device and onto your tablet once it is extracted using another application. Now, I can't answer the question of "will you be able to use the applications once you transfer them to your tablet?"
[AirDroid] badplanet:
Thank you! That answers my question perfectly.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Baldilocks:
So a few of you know that I can't stand how Google has tried to have us use their services by removing and or tying a lot of their built in apps with Google+. So, I have found a few great replacement apps and have pretty much made them look like stock applications.

I took some screenshots as you can see below as to how they look when installed and modified to my liking. (Many of them have themes and QuickPic is also working on themes for their app as well.)

Instead of Google Photos I use QuickPic. It's basically like the old gallery app but allows to you to move files. (You can also sync photos if you wish to do so.)

Instead of Google Play Music I use Shuttle+ Music Player. (For one thing, when you open the app you can have it go right to YOUR music on the device and even default to what tab you choose. No taking 3 or 4 steps just to get to your music or playlists.)

Instead of Messenger I use QKSMS+ (It just looks better, you can edit the themes and it has Quick Reply. And it looks very much like the stock Google app.)

And of course you can edit the app icon with your favorite Launcher.

What are some apps you guys and gals use? Do you use third party apps or keep everything Google?
