Still using the last build that popped up in the Testing feed.

Ever since installing that build, I've been getting my "DaydreamCalendar" app crashing nearly constantly a few minutes after it starts. Around about the same time, Google issued an update for Calendar app, and I received some calendar events that were slightly abnormal (had attachments in them from Exchange, as well as a LOT of invitees). So, I have absolutely no idea if it's the calendar data, the app, or the rom that is causing it. I've also seen one cold reboot today on it while it's just been sitting here on my touchstone doing mostly nothing.

Logs, if you want to have a look: http://paste.evervolv.com/view/521aaca9
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
What is the date of the test build
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Uninstall that app and reinstall and see if that fixes it
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
It's the 3/2 i think. Uninstalled the app, got busy with something, went to reinstall it, and my sound was crashed. Managed to get logs, but the lock screen came up while i was loading this forum to send the link, and I can't get it to let me back to the upload logs app. If I let it start to daydream, I can very briefly see the app under it, hoping I can see the link long enough.. sigh. :D weird. Clock daydream comes up, then after a few moments, the back and home buttons are viisble. If I press back, then I can briefly see the app that was running before the lock screen comes up. But then the lock screen locks up, and i'm stuck waiting for it to go back to daydream.

i think it's 8417fa5f .. yeah

so, that's http://paste.evervolv.com/view/8417fa5f

i hope. because it just rebooted on it's own :)

Yeah, that's it.

I did a little experimentation last night with the adaptive backlight. The minimum brightness when adaptive backlight is on is much lower than when it is off. Sometimes, it ignores the main Brightness adjust when Adaptive is turned on. I think I just need to find a quick-switch that I can stick in the launcher to turn adaptive on and off, and I'd be perfect with that. Adaptive brightness enabled + Lowest Brightness setting + Pitch black room = perfect brightness level on device. :)

I haven't tried Bluetooth in the past several builds, think there's any improvement there?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I never really see why you are loosing audio. Seems thats its fixed on others. Question do you use the mic alot. I have the newest test rom running on three different touchpads 4g and 16/32 wifi model. None have lost audio and i have alarms setup they work every time, i tired alot of differnet things even using the mic. Also you running anything out of the norm. Need some more help to the steps required to loose sound.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
damn. I really don't use the mic very often. Sometimes if I need an extra alarm clock, I'll tap the google now thing and say "Set Alarm for 9am" but other than that, I really don't use it much. (i do that because I haven't the slightest idea where the Android alarm function is.. lol) It's pretty much mostly when I let the screen go off while I'm using it, and then immediately turn it back on, or happens after hours sitting idle (usually on charge) that I notice it.

This one time that it just happened, was the first time in a LONG time that I've had it crop up when it wasn't already at the lock screen, so I could actually get to the Settings->Toolbox.

Maybe I should try a totally clean install again from this test build? (the daily build hasn't moved since the test build has it?) Is there a way hiding in here to force a backup to Google? Last time I did a clean install, my Google backup on the device was over a week old, so it was a bit of a pain in the butt to get back to full state.

Not really doing anything out of the ordinary as far as I know.. app list: Abyss Attack, APK Installer, Box, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Google Calendar, Chrome, Clock, COntacts, Dev Tools, Downloads, Dropbox, Email, Evernote, Facebook, Gallery, Gmail, Google, Google Keyboard, Google Settings, Google+, Hangouts, HipChat, LinkedIn, Maps, FB Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Mint, Motley Fool, Music, MusixMatch, Nextdoor, Pandora, Phone Tester, Photos, Pinball Map, Play Games, Play Movies, Play Music, Play Store, PokerNews, Settings, Skype, Speech Recorder, Speedtest, Splashtop, Splashtop XDisplay, Taptalk, Themes, Twitter, Voice Search, Wunderlist, Yahoo Mail, YouTube, Z-Device Test.

I've never done anything weird to this install other than logging in from "adb shell" and catting files or "adb logcat". My comfort level poking around inside Android is not very high, so I don't mess with anything that's not in the Android UI itself.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I just titanium backup my apps and reinstall. Pretty easy and as long as you backup before a wipe most up to date apps.

Are the latest nightlies updating correctly or should we still stay with the test builds ?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Still haven't pushed all the changes as we need to test on other devices. Ill let you know.

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I switched back to the 3/2 testing build. It's a lot harder to make the audio crash with that. It does still happen, though.
[TouchPad Development] gtallmadge:
I was having some intermittent problems with audio but was using the Google Now Launcher...I knew better but used it anyway. Switched to the Launcher3 and since then

have not had any audio issues. Not sure of the launcher you are using but if it is the Google Now there are problems.

Since rebooting with Bluetooth on and forcing the OK Google completely off, using the 3/2 testing build, I have yet to have a failure. It's been a bit over 24 hours now, I think. I wonder if it's the OK Google thing, considering that I did see in the log that it was enabling and disabling it with the screen, even though I had it set to only activate when on the Google Now screen.
[TouchPad Development] Atari-San:
Well, that would explain it for me too back in december. Was using Ok Google alot thinking that kitkat bug was finally fixed in Lollipop Build. If someone would try to run Google Now with Ok Google detection off from the setting in language or keyboard and run it for 24-48h and report if it still happen. I remember it was a big problem for most device on Kitkat and maybe for Lollipop too. Was happening on both my Skyrocket and Tenderloin in Kitkat.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Yeah, in KitKat, just installing the Google Now Launcher was enough to break everything. Sadly, the only ROM that I had played with that claimed to work on the 4G also came with Google Now Launcher, so it was a pretty serious issue.

Two days now, zero crashes. So, it seems like (fingers crossed) turning off Google Now detection completely is the key.. ? Does that give us any clue as to something that can be fixed, or are we just stuck with hoping Google will do something about it?

And is there anything more that I can do to help diagnose Bluetooth problems on 4g? I'm about to charge up my LuneOS and install this on it (I'm planning to swap it to my daughter when I see her this weekend, I'm not dumping Lune :) ), so hopefully bt will work (she uses the TP keyboard extensively) and then I can maybe compare the two somehow?
[TouchPad Development] scifan:
I've been putzing with this the last day or so, and what I've experienced is that if I'm downloading something, my bluetooth keyboard is "connected" but not responsive... (is that expected behavior?)
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Today, I picked up the tablet, started to mess with it, and it flashed up a notification that it was updating apps from the Store.. and the entire thing was completely unresponsive until it completed the download, and then it continued on as if nothing weird happened. That was very weird.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
That is why I don't allow the Play Store to update automatically. I have two different tablets and when the PS is updating, it makes them pretty much useless.

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I'd never seen a total freeze like that before, though. Sure, it normally gets a little spotty when it's on the "installation" phase, with all the disk activity and cpu cranking, but it doesn't normally bring the entire UI to a halt.

btw, still running after 3 days, no crashes. :)

I see the nightly builds have kicked back in .. do they have the changes from the 3/2 test build now? Without those changes, I'm still crashing regularly.

Philz Touch: error installing 5.0.2

Hi, I am using Philz Touch 6.21.2, CWM 6..0.47 and facing error in installing the new 5.0.2 nightly or even test build.

Anybody else facing this issue?

Error message:

mount: failed to mount /dev/store/cm-system at /system: Invalid argument

unmount of /system failed; no such volume

Installing Evervolv

E: Error in /data/media/0/EVUpdates/nightly/ev_tenderloin-5.0.2-nightly-2015.03.11.zip

Wipe Data/Factory Reset and clean for new rom installation both performed before installation.

The older version 0f Evervolv 4.4.2 roms gets installed though.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
touchworks,

Have you increased your system size to 800MB +?
[TouchPad Development] touchworks:
How can I do that? If it's not default then I don't think I have done that. Is there any way to check?

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] reynoben:
Read full OP

It's all detailed out in the OP

+++

[INSTALL]

If you are new to lollipop your best bet is to install via JCSullins ToolBox. This rom will require TWRP 2.8.0 or higher. You will need a min of 800MB system partition for this to install also. Evervolv now has the backup tool in the install script so when your upgrading no more need to reflash gapps. If you have any issues let me know

+++
[TouchPad Development] touchworks:
I did read that part of the OP and also other posts by the people where they were using the same recovery and were able to install it correctly. Even I was able to install one from December or November but then I went back to 4.4 and then tried to install the newer versions, it shows error. I am planning to check the system partition next when I get home tonight. Any other suggestions and help will be appreciated.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] Tripple-c:
I did more than once a while back now but the Android install creates its own 800MB partition space and is reports as so. Others have commented on it as well. If I look with Toolbox 4.2 it shows the much bigger partition I created but it is NOT used. Why? That has not been answered yet.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
From the terminal emulator, type df and it will show you a lot of info including size of /system , or install the Quick System Info Pro app. From WebOS, you can use Tailor. You should be able to use the CWM version you already have if you have already previously installed a data/media Rom and increased /system size to 800mb. However, depending on what you have now, it would be best to select "Clean to install new Rom" from CWM before installing this Rom or flash TWRP2.8.3.0 or 2.8.4.0 from the OP and follow Flintman's instructions for flashing this Rom. Of course your best bet if you still have WebOS installed and would like to get rid of it is use J.C. Sullin's TouchPad Toolbox v.42 to remove WebOS and install Lollipop.

NT
[TouchPad Development] touchworks:
Now I am thinking of going for JCSullin's Touchpad Toolbox option. Only concern is that, in the original Touchpad Toolbox thread it is mentioned that "Installation of Android without Gapps not supported yet". Not sure what it means. I hope it's not a problem to install the 5.02 version where I assume Gapps is included and do not need to be installed through separate file.

BTW: I checked the /system size by using df from terminal emulator and it shows 590.6M. I am already using a data/media Rom.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
GApps is a separate file. There is a link for those in the op of this ROM and TP Toolbox.

Nightly Evervolv 5.02 works with an externally-powered OTG cable and a Touchpad. USB audio works well with "USB Audio" from Google Play Store.

But, I cannot get USB audio to work directly, even though its supposed to be supported in Android 5. Is this work-in-progress?

Never tested as have no USB audio device. Ill look at fixing it once all the 5.1 issues are fixed

Can someone help me install gapps?

When I tried install gapps, I get an "status 7" error

when I tried a differ pa gapps, I keep getting an "status 40" error, "installation aborted".

This is after I've newly formated, cleared data/cache.... etc.

I've also tried enabling signature verification and it still does not work. I've tried multiple time with no luck :(
[TouchPad Development] Tripple-c:
I am getting freezing as well when I go and even check Gmail. Works for one or two. The nothing, not response nor can anything be selected. I get back to home screen then go back again into it and it works. I posted earlier the whole system froze and couldn't wake it up even. I know work was being done for BT device but why is it affecting basic functionality. I think I will revert back to the previous week download I have. I did not see a problem with it.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You really need to provide a little more information. What were you using before this? What did you use to format and clear data/cache? Exactly what gapps are you trying to install?(give full file name) Have you been using Sullin's TouchPad Toolbox? Did you remove WebOS? Are you sure you increased the size of /system to at least 800mb? I don't know what a "status 7" error means, but if /system is not large enough, that would sure cause a failure. From terminal emulator, type df. That will show you a lot of information including how much space you have in /system. Or you can install Quick System Info Pro from the Play Store.

NT
[TouchPad Development] Atari-San:
If i remember, status 40's a result of a bad download, try to download again the gapps and try a smaller pack like the micro or mini from pa-gapps topic. Verify the size if they are the same as the server and if you want more, you can do a md5sum/sha1sum. Also, try to download from a PC if possible, using android seem to give corrupted file download sometime.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
As of tommorrow it will be. Sorry all been quiet. Working the lollipop 5.1 It was a start over but luckly alot of patches are going with easy. I have boot animation but no boot as of yet.

What is new in the latest current build of 5.02, 0318. I haven't seen anywhere where changes are posted.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
3-19 is the latest and the last unless someone update 5.02 source code. We are Evervolv and as soon as the next release is out we move on we are EVERVOLV -- ing . 8P. I have been hammering on putting back a bunch of features and then ill be working on getting sound working again. But if you want a usable ROM use the latest nightly 3-19.
[TouchPad Development] Tripple-c:
Very good thanks for the info. I'll push up to 319 then.
[TouchPad Development] fatboyslimerr:
Thanks for your hard work flintman! TP would be nothing but a paperweight with your (and other devs) efforts.

So far so good. The 3-19 has not locked up after nearly two days being on.

Thanks I hope its stable and my communications apps work until 5.1 if ready with the add-ins.

A Great ROM

This is the first time I try out the Evervolv AOSP ROM (using Mar 19 nightly). I had a minor issue with the installation of the ROM using Touchpad Toolbox V42. Somehow it does not like flintman's build of TWRP. After I switched to traditional CWM, the installation of the ROM went fine.

This ROM is great because the SELINUX mode is permissive which is required by Viper4Android that I am using. It also allows one app I use to play live stream connecting to a VPN server through the Openconnect client.. Two other Android 5.0.2 ROMs I used earlier gave me connection problems.

I am very happy with this ROM.

One thing I notice is that I am getting a blue screen pops up for a quick second right after the boot after the first Evervolv screen is displayed. I also see the same blue screen couple of times when the above streaming app is starting. If there's anyway to change the color of the screen to a black screen would be perfect. But no big deal.

I am just waiting for Xposed framework to be readied for Android 5.1.

Again a big thank you to flintman for providing this great ROM.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Flintman,

Everything has been working just fine and dandy for me for a couple of weeks now. Two days ago, I had to do a hard-reboot, as I was stuck with a black screen, and just the LED flashing (not in the "charging" pattern, just a regular blinking like a notification pattern), but other than that, it's been fantastic on the 4G. I do really need to start giving it some things to stress about, but I feel like it's really become ultra-stable (except for that one incident) since completely disabling OK Google. I am still getting the occasional crash in my DaydreamCalendar app, but I really suspect that to be an app fault, either the app not dealing with some of my less standard calendar events, or google's recent updates to the calendar internals.

Updating to the newest nightly right now. Definitely installing this on the backup, so I can swap it to the daughter. I still need to find some decent parental control software though, if anyone has any recommendations. I checked out MamaBear at another friend's recommendation, but it refuses to work properly on devices without working hardware GPS or phone numbers.

tpuserhp,

I've seen that blue-garbage screen on all boots, and when running any app that runs 3D graphics, ever since 4.4 builds of Android. My guess is that the video driver used to force-clear buffers at init, and now it's not, but just a guess.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The blue screen is an artifact on 3.4 kernel builds. It's not there on 3.0 builds.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Since the TouchPad does not have GPS, I use Fake GPS by Lexa so that apps that require GPS are fooled. Just remember you have to activate Developer options and put a check by Allow mock locations.

May I ask what did you use to get the 4g working ? I was in 5.0 it showed at installation the sim but no wifi went to 4.4.4 and runs better then expected except nothing on 4g recognition

your knowledge is greatly needed and respected

cheers
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
4g isn't running on it, nor is Bluetooth, but everything else is, and that's good enough for me. Oh, crap, though, I do need to make sure that bluetooth works on the non-4g before i give that to the daughter, though.. she needs use of the keyboard.
[TouchPad Development] ryandan1:
oh, not what I wanted to hear.. may have to ask the flintman
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I don't have a released for the 4g yet on 5.0. I cant get data.

I'm currently working on 5.1 so I'm hoping that issue is fixed once its complete. got audio working in 5.1 somewhat working. There are some weird issues with it. Hopefully ill release soon.

4.4.4 has working 4g. Make sure you download the 4g specific ROM. Its in a separate thread and only download from there.
