Hi

I upgraded to the 14July Build. I downloaded with the update tool in System. Added the minimal gapps from that pre-boot screen and chose to wipe both caches and data. Only issue I can find is Youtube won't play video in the app or browser , did get some audio only. Got a very fast boot the second restart , no loading apps screen yet. Whats with the GMO Wheat background. LOL

Hey flintman, do you also have a OTG Version of your ROM?

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I do know how the OTG support works, what I don't know is if this kernel supports it. Since I do have another TouchPad that has the original webOS kernel that does, I can at least verify if my OTG hardware works using that, and then see if it works in this particular thing. I still need to obtain a OTG cable that does power the right way, though, since even though I have a powered hub, it still appears to depend upon the +5V line to signal it to work.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Actually, it needs the +5 volts to power whatever you connect. The touchpad does not supply the 5 volts to any connected device.

Flintman should be able to tell you if OTG is supported or not. What say you Flintman?

NT
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
The hub itself is powered, and supplies power to devices plugged into it. But it only turns them on when the hub itself is connected to a cable with +5V on it. Plug into computer = mouse lights up, plug into Nexus 5 with OTG cable = mouse lights up. Plug into TouchPad = no light on mouse. Unplug from any devices = no light.

None of the following gapps are working with the TP Toolbox

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-android-5-1-gapps-minimal-medium-and-full-75491/

Can anyone recommend an alternate. Or is there a older version I should be using. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
There is otg support in the kernel. I haven't tested it in a little bit but was working a few months ago. You need an external power hub as the tp doesn't support powing devices. I have hooked keyboards, mice and USB sticks to it without issue(a few months ago). Sorry all i haven't been to active my day job has kicked into third gear and my free time over the next few months are min at best. Hopefully Google will have there sh1t straight when i get some free time as this has to be the worst release of android yet.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Does OTG also support exFAT filesystems?

Because it didn't work for me
[TouchPad Development] EnderIII:
exFAT did not work on my Xperia, only FAT32.

I'd suspect exFAT doesn't work on the Touchpad either.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
That's bad, because my sony sd card is formatted in exFAT
[TouchPad Development] EnderIII:
SD Card is okay as exFAT, but for some reason USB is not.
[TouchPad Development] DemonicHawk:
Just did a clean install and everything seems to work great for the most part. Double-tap issues are gone, but the touchscreen still freezes every once in a while, though it can be fixed by just turning the screen off/on.

One thing that's been bothering me though is that Evervolv can't use the updated webview from the play store. Meaning our webview is horribly outdated. CM patched this a few months ago, can we get this in Evervolv too? See here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6509
[TouchPad Development] yohaskan:
Exacte. I do that too when is coming, by reflex:eek:
[TouchPad Development] Bisiburger:
Same problem since this Rom is alive.

Does Video playback working for you? For me with 07\14 it doesnt. No YouTube, no Video in Chrome or Amazon Instant Video.
[TouchPad Development] EnderIII:
Not him, but...

Doesn't work at all for me, not even Plex.

No "Settings" after 10 clean installs with ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.07.14.zip

Hi,

I tried more than

10 clean installs

with ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.07.14.zip, "Settings" still not work, and double tap issues are back.

Go back to ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.06.19.zip, and everything is okay.

I have a HP Touchpad 16 go.
[TouchPad Development] DemonicHawk:
Yeah same problem actually, YouTube app just gives a "There was a problem while playing. YouTube in chrome will play the audio without video.

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Hey updater picked up a new nightly on 5.0.2 dated july 28.. Whats the story there? :)
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Sorry all i haven't been able to do anything. 5.1.1 just plan sucks and i have been working 10-14 hour days. 5.0.2 i think is the best out of the lollipop builds. I don't expect to be back to programming for at least another month and maybe into the next release of android. If I do have some free time ill peck away at it. There is a video issue with the latest release unsure what the cause is.
[TouchPad Development] flinkisme:
I used TPTB to do a complete data reset and re-installed CM12. VPN works fine, now.

Old: Thank you for the heads up on that. I've begun having VPN issues (I can connect to VPN services, but there's no further connectivity until I quit the VPN) and I was looking to update my ROM, too. It's way out of date.
[TouchPad Development] ludvball:
TP has been sitting a while. I went to use it, the other day after having to charge it. It would start to boot, up to the Evervolv logo, and then flash a blue screen. Then the screen went black. I can't get it to do anything, other than doing a hard reset. I had been wanting to update to the newest build, so I did a full wipe and installed the latest build. I still get the same result when booting.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Explain what you mean by "so I did a full wipe" and how you installed the latest build.

http://evervolv.com/get/ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.08.11.zip ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.08.11.zip OK Elginsk8r fixed a bunch of issues like setting menu not display. With that being said today I got some time together to fix video playback. I have been using this build for about a few hours and pretty happy with it. I don't have the time to really dig in and play around. Let me know what you think
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Just wanted to throw on a screenshot of the awesome Evervolv keeping my TP relevant. Continued thanks to [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] for keeping all our touchpads up to date and running smooth.

I am having com.android.phone force close for the recent two build. Anyone know how to fix? Apparently our touchpad should not have this com.android.phone process.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I had the same problem after dirty flashed the new 08.10 ROM. I then clean installed ( wiped caches, data and system partitions) the new rom. I do not get that message now. But i am encountering frequent WiFi problems. I need to turn off and turn on WiFi to get connection back. It seems to be a new problem.
[TouchPad Development] yohaskan:
Installe v_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.08.11

I have the setting menu on this one

No problem yet....
[TouchPad Development] Bisiburger:
Same problem here. Getting a loop of force close.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Clean install? (Wipe data and format system) What model. Also try different gapps. This sounds like a dirty flash issue. Also if you have an issue logs are what i need.
[TouchPad Development] Bisiburger:
First I will try a clean install.
[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
When can I find the settings for quick setting tiles?Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] Steelskinz:
Really smooth build. Great job again Flintman ! :)
[TouchPad Development] viskon:
I got the same issue with a dirty flash . Had to revert to an earlier build. Sorry I couldn't remember to get the logs.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
If you have an issue with dirty flashing do a clean install. This is still a test build. The source was completely reworked. Hopefully no more reworking and u can dirty flash on the next builds but like i have said a bunch of times if you dirty flash and have an issue do a clean install and then if you have an issue let me know. Unless other wise noted.

Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] MossyLawn:
Agree about clean flash

Running latest (8/11) with clean flash. Running 3 days now.

And new download of apps from play store (not TiBU)

Running smooth so far

Thank you Flintman
[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
I did clean install again and no more com.android.phone force close.

But now the issUE is that I can not use mybackup pro to restore my apps. I am using the same app mybackup pro to restore my apps data without issue on other devices running lollipop. So the problem seems like to be this ROM.

Anyone else using mybackup pro on this ROM with success?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Are you using TWRP? Did you make a Nandroid backup before clean installing this latest? In TWRP, you and restore just the data portion of the backup and that should give you 99% of your apps, settings and data. Or before any major changes, make just a /data backup with TWRP and then restore it when done. I've done that with TWRP and CWM many times. Works good.

[TouchPad Development] kane91z:
Was having the same force close problem, fixed it with using a 5.0 gapps.
[TouchPad Development] DemonicHawk:
Just clean installed the latest build and it seems good, YouTube works again and Chrome doesn't have the red box flashing anymore. But can we please get support for the PlayStore Webview? The AOSP webview (v39) is a huge security risk AND significantly slower.

Patch is here: https://github.com/F-AOSP/platform_frameworks_base/commit/8e860f44d54685012c93d0394a84538ce14fe24b

Running a build with it now. Also going to try and use nuplayer pulled the flag to use awesomeplayer Hopefully it runs takes about an hour to build on my slow machine 8) ill let you know with a new build if it works.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Its up. 8-15 build. Its funny when i think im not going to have spare time it opens up 8)
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Clean install on the 15 Aug build and so far it's running smooth. Youtube works. I haven't tried playing video files yet though. Hopefully this build stays smooth and fast for some reason some builds were molasses slow and pretty much made me quit using my TP for a few months and actively start looking at replacing it with something newer. If with this build I can go back to using it for the basic stuff I need then yay! :)
[TouchPad Development] yohaskan:
Chrome have always the red box flashing on my TP, after a dirty flash from 11 Aug to 15 Aug Build

I'll try a clean install next time

It seems to me a Dirty flash fix rarely what it does, no?
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
The red flashing has been there a long time. I just ignore it.
[TouchPad Development] garux:
I recently got another TouchPad and would like to try Evervolv 5.0.0p1. Using the TouchPad Toolbox, with the latest Evervolv rom:

ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.08.15.zip and using TWRP: FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-2.8.4.0-01-17-15.zip

However, I’m not sure what gapps to use, could someone please give me a link for the gapps?

Once installed, I plan to use Titanium Backup to restore the apps.

** update **

Can I use this as the gapps files: gapps-lp.20141109.zip?
[TouchPad Development] DemonicHawk:
I use TK gapps (http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347), but I recall that the TP Toolbox is pretty picky with gapps, so it might not accept those. There's also a link to GAPPS in the first post you can try.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Clean installed latest, home button doesnt work at all. Settings button and all settings icons in drop down disappear about a minute after boot. Swipe up doesn't get recognized as anything. Search is missing completely, and apps are not being added to launcher after installing. On bright side the keyboard double taps appear to be completely gone, but its a bit hard to use like this without home working. Clean installed twice just to make sure.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
You are not doing something right. Use gapps provided in first post. Format system and if you are using a 4g model (I can't support ATM as my 4g is dead). Has anyone else experienced this?
[TouchPad Development] wf201626:
I dirty installed the 8.12 build. it took forever to load. then I had to boot to recovery and wipe all partitions to make a clean install. the result was same. it took forever to boot.

when I tried to recovery from early backup, the early saved backup cannot boot either.

the last try was to wipe all partitions then clean install last build in June. it brought my TP back to normal.

did anybody have the similar issues?

thanks

Frank
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
No issues like that. Been running great.
[TouchPad Development] Bisiburger:
Clean install 15/08, everything is working for me. So far no problems.
[TouchPad Development] curtisimo:
How did you get it installed? I can't get past the gapps unrecognized/unsupported error. What files did you use?
[TouchPad Development] bluedream:
I used Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150814.zip from another rom installation thread, it works without problem.
[TouchPad Development] Bisiburger:
I use gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip
[TouchPad Development] BlueKnightedDragon:
Just clean flashed the newest build. Works great except WiFi won't shut off unless I restart the touchpad
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
.. So, i ended up trying a dozen different images, and they all had same problems. Clean install on each one. Finally, i loaded the tp toolbox and reformatted everything, loaded 8-15-2015 ROM and now its fine. Looking good at some brief usage, will give it a workout the next couple days. So, onward to 6.0? ;)
[TouchPad Development] viskon:
Clean install on the new build, and I must say this is the smoothest my TP has run in a long while. Thank you, flintman .
[TouchPad Development] eKeith:
Also clean installed (formatted System and Data), working beautifully. Thank you flintman!
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I am getting random lockups at 44 min after some hour. Keyboard is extremely sluggish if device isn't rebooted regularly. Have no apps other than happy, reddit is fun and tapatalk. Otherwise its great so far.
[TouchPad Development] vmahe53:
It there any way 'shareit' or xender app to work???

I can connect to other devices but I can't create group
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I suspect the freezing may have been due to using black hole live wallpaper. Keyboard problem no idea. Just picked it up after many hours idle, and keys were slow and laggy, but then the keyboard aosp app crashed and restarted and now its fine. Going to install another keyboard as default and see if it goes away
[TouchPad Development] SolarBlue:
Clean install and working great so far! Very snappy. Haven't tried maps or the camera yet though (neither are very important in my use case).

The only issue that I've noticed so far after a day of use is that I am getting some lag with screen draws only in Chrome on the tablet. When drag scrolling, the bottom 10-20% of the screen freezes for a half second before catching up with the rest of the screen. Not a critical issue, but annoying considering how much time I spend in Chrome...
[TouchPad Development] EnderIII:
I just did a full clean install of the new rom.

Other then some minor hiccups gettings a working gapps, it is up and running now.

Youtube works, but Plex is still unable to play videos.
[TouchPad Development] DemonicHawk:
I just noticed this the other day after having it installed for so long. It only happens to me in portrait mode (which I don't often use), in landscape everything is perfect. Is that the same for you?
[TouchPad Development] SolarBlue:
You're right - I only get the screen lag in portrait mode. Browsing in landscape is just fine. Weird and annoying, but not a stop-the-presses situation.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi Flintman, the official version of Xposed for lollipop 5.1.1 is available now. Any possibility this ROM will work with the Xposed for lollipop in the future? Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Update on my system halting and very laggy keyboard response time after several hours of idleness:

Replacing the AOSP keyboard with Swiftkey solved the problem entirely, except that I would often get messages saying that Android Keyboard AOSP had crashed, when Swiftkey came up. Swiftkey pretty much sucks though, when you're used to the Google keys, and having error correction that works to a reasonable degree, instead of attempting to autocorrect EVERYTHING.

So, I also tried Google Keyboard, and that did the same thing as the AOSP keyboard that the image comes with. Works fine for a while, then starts lagging like crazy, eventually either the keyboard crashes and restarts (solving the lag problem temporarily) or the device locks up. As the lag starts, the duplicate keypresses start getting more and more frequent, and eventually it just gets terrible.

Anyway, seems there's something going wrong with the keyboard in this image. Clean install of the most recently posted update, totally clean from a fresh system reformat. No additional apps installed other than Tapatalk and Reddit Is Fun.

If you like a PC style keyboard with good spelling correction, try Hacker's Keyboard.

I just took the update with just wiping cache, no gapps. Everything worked. Only problems is the latest facebook update is failing to install. This was happening prior to today's rom release. Also iDisplay crashes as soon as it connects. Haven't tested this yet on the new build.

Hey there. Wanted to say i finally took the plunge and knocked out a nice install of this ROM on my beloved HPTP. Been running 4.4.4 seems like forever, that worked very well, but have had the bug to upgrade to Lollipop.

Using the HP toolbox (awesome BTW), did a complete wipe; yep no more WebOS; install of Evervol 5.1.1; had to use Slim gApps and a TWRP 2.7...as the supplied gapps and Recovery gave me errors, stating they are not compatible.

All is working smoothly so far. Will test Wi-Fi and bluetooth when i get home this evening.

SO a large THANK YOU for keeping this machine running the latest and greatest!

Rich K.
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
ok, having issues with the ROM freezing up, tried the other 5.1 and having the same issue. Ended up with stock CM12 5.0...we'll see how that plays out.

I'll keep watching.

Thanks for the time and effort!
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
New update with R_18 and BFQ scheduler. A little boost to performance. Had running the last 12 hours playing music and working it hard without any issues. Let me know if you have any.

[TouchPad Development] ethaniel86:
i am getting unsupported error..any idea what version should i use? :(

this one not supported as well ++2.8.4.0 TWRP recovery with MTP support++..i have to use 2.8.3

That's more of a toolbox question. Unsure what gapps are supported as I haven't used that tool in a while.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Not a priority by any means but I've got a small request for the next build. Could you add in the option for battery in the status bar to have just the percentage?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Not sure but looks like Nick is working on that http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/15842/ I haven't looked at all the code but it looks like at quick glance its in there. It needs some cleanup but we have been working on some other updates to speed up the UI.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Thanks. Did a clean install of your latest test build (17th) I'll be sure to let ya know if I have any problems. No logs until I get back home next week if I do have problems though.

*edit*

One thing I've noticed in the last few builds, including the newest, is using toolbox to change the lcd density it always shows 160 and as far as I can tell doesn't change it either. If I change it via a build prop editor the lcd changes. Toolbox also reflect said changes done through build prop.
[TouchPad Development] Bisiburger:
Dirty Flash, no BFQ scheduler. Clean install required?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I did a dirty flash, was it not in the list under performance menu in toolbox? I had it there. I ended up doing s clean install cause I wanted to check a few things out.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
This has been mentioned in the past and best I remember, a work-around was to install on older Evervolv Rom, like a 5.0 version or maybe even a 4.4.4 version, and then just use recovery to flash this build. TPTB does not like some of these newer LL Roms for some reason. It used to be that it looked at just the name of the zip file, but Sullins change the way TPTB handles zips in V42. If you have problems with TWRP, install CWM first and then use it to flash TWRP. If some of you know how to contact Sullins on IRC chat, you may want to mention it him that v42 does not seen to like Lollipop builds.

And Flintman, can't these guys who already have a KK Rom installed just use TWRP to flash LL?

I suspect it's caused by the "(1)" in the file name. Try renaming it by deleting that and any spaces.
[TouchPad Development] InSaiyanone:
Just chiming in that I am running a fresh install smoothly (besides a small annoyance of double taps on the included keyboard while typing). I'll update my post as I continue to install apps and use them as usual. Definitely more snappy, I came from 5.0 CM12 (milaq). Thanks for the continued work on the TP! This is the only 5.1 rom I could install without any issue booting. One thing I did notice right away was adding a hidden wireless network would not save/connect. The same network or any others that aren't hidden don't seem to have any issues.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Thanks. I'll look at hidden networks.
