Nope, can't think of much else. If you like Milaq's version of Lollipop and have tried the others available and narrowed it down to his, then you are where you want to be. I personally think Lollipop is still a bit too experimental for me and have been sticking to Mr. Sullin's latest CM11. Any version of Android installed on a TouchPad has it's risks, Lollipop has the most. It's unfortunate that your trusty TouchPad finally decided to die. I've had mine for almost four years and do not look forward to the day it goes to that big tablet heaven. I have a newer,quality tablet and my TouchPad runs circles around it. Good luck keeping that last working one alive. Hopefully it is not one of those prone to bricking whenever it feels like it. :D

I'm addicted to the Touchpad and purchased a couple more in like new condition. I took your advice and decided to try JCs 6/12 CM-11 version for stability. It works great and is real stable BUT the (MTP) is stuck in ADB mode regardless of settings not allowing me to download any of my files via USB. I moved some of them via WIFI. I have posted the problem on his thread. Any way I am back to daily driving on CM-12 as Milaq does a great job of making this a really great ROM. I do a lot of email and really prefer CM-12. I have looked at some of the new hardware available and can not justify replacing the touchpads. Thank you and Milaq and JC Sullins for keeping my addiction going.

Is everything working on milaq's cm12?
[TouchPad Development] johnbelloh:
I'm back to running two touchpads with the same apps, one with Milaq's daily 5.0.2 and the other with JCs 6/15 cm-11. I solved the USB issue. It was really strange. CM-12 would connect in MTP mode on my Widows 7 laptop but all versions of cm-11 would connect in ADB mode even though MTP was enabled. I had to reinstall the Windows MTP driver and now both CM-11 and CM-12 connect in MTP mode. The only reason I can think of is that while trying to unbrick my old touchpad the wrong version of ADB got installed in Windows. To answer your question. Milaq's 5.0.2 is still unstable. the biggest problem I find running my apps is in Facebook. It is running smoother than earlier versions but still hangs up when selecting a link to a video. CM-11 is slow to link but works. Overall CM-11 is running a lot smoother than CM-12. I have to thank all the developers for the fantastic job they are doing. I will assist any way I can with testing. I now have a stock pile of TPs.

May I ask the link where you got the MTP driver to reinstall?
[TouchPad Development] daedric:
Question, I've always notices heavy dithering on this device, even though it's lcd should be above average (for its time).

So, are we using RGB565 or RGBA8888? (Does the GPU even support RGB8888?)
[TouchPad Development] johnbelloh:
select device manager in windows and install driver. in the popup select your hard drive and it will find the driver.

[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
Battery life seems very short on Lollipop ROMs. I had Pac ROM installed and now this one and on both, what seems to me, a shorter time before I have to recharge them. It seems to me that the battery lasted longer on KitKat (also Milaq's).
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Personally, LL just has too many little glitches such as your observation about battery life. What else, camera, mic, ART, Bluetooth just to mention a few that do not work as well as a good KitKat Rom. My favorite is Mr. Sullin's latest KK build which is a Milaq build tweaked to Mr. Sullin's preferences. The developers that are working on LL are doing an amazing job. But I don't think they are going to be able to work out all the bugs before the next version is released by Google ("M") which will start the compatibility cycle all over again. Our four year old device is getting too long in the tooth to be expected to handle these super advanced versions of Android. Personally, I think CM10 or 10.1 was the sweet spot, but CM11 does an admirable job, especially with the advent of DM. Everything I need to work does on CM11.

The major problem is with the kernel, not LP. With the 3.4 kernel, everything works with the exception of the camera and bluetooth, which is caused by Google's total PITA source. The 3.4 kernel has always had worse battery performance than 3.0, so it remains a WIP.
[TouchPad Development] JustMeToo:
I can't believe I'm defending NT but in this case I have to. I too think that that is not what he meant.

I understand but this ROM is with the 3.0 kernel. With this ROM I had a drain of 13%, at sleep, in about 2 - 3 hours. Now, back on CM11, I have a drain, in sleep, of 3% in 7-8 hours.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
3.0 kernel LP (not milaq's). And for those of you who are worried about NT's wounded psyche, that's why we put emojis on our posts so that we aren't taken too seriously ...
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You will never see me do that. :p You guys do an amazing job and provide something on the TouchPad that I doubt any other devices out there as old as it are getting. I support you guys 100%! :good: I try to keep my comments as generic as possible and not piss anyone off, though that gets difficult at times. :( If you think I ever cross the line, please PM me.

Well, I'm not as well versed on all the specific terminology as I would like to be, but I could have sworn that somewhere in the past I saw it mentioned that you based your builds on Milaq's github, commits, device tree or something like that. So you say that's not the case, then I stand corrected. I think I make it pretty obvious that I favor your builds, have nothing ill-willed to say about anyone else's builds and that I think it's Google's builds that make it next to impossible to overcome working out all the bugs on the TouchPad.

[TouchPad Development] xendig:
Hi All,

I am running into a problem getting additional users with restricted profiles to work. I am able to create the user just fine. Switching to the new user hangs with black blank home screen with the launcher not responding. I also get erros about 'System stopped working'.

The factory reset didn't help so I essentially started afresh with tptoolbox and 9/9 nightly. I am pretty confident it's something to do with the ROM.

Has anybody noticed this issue? Would anybody try creating a 'test' user with restricted profile and see if they can recreate the problem?

Thanks,

Moe

What is the last version of Android(JellyBean, KitKat, Lollipop) that you could do this successfully?

NT
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
When setting up the restricted profile, is there an entry called "HPROF"?

If so, enable it.
[TouchPad Development] xendig:
Yes enabling HPROF works. Another way, I found was to install and enable "Google Now" but HPROF approach is obviously simpler. I wish this was enabled by default though.

Moving between restricted profiles crashes some times and the touchpad resets. Is there any way to capture the reason for the crash (kernel dump or something relevant)? I see the random crashes now and then and I would like to help with chasing them.

Thanks for all your work jcsullins.
[TouchPad Development] jcsullins:
For kernel crash (goes all the way to moboot and restarts), the /proc/last_klog file. Otherwise, logcat.
[TouchPad Development] xendig:
My touchpad is rebooting randomly but frequently.

Here is the last_klog.. There is a SysRq coming from user space to reset the device but it's not clear who is initiating this.

I am running 12-20150909-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin version. May be it's touchpad if no one else is seeing this issue.
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
hello everyone.

Finally took sometime to redo the HPTP to Lollipop...after testing the 3 main ones, ive settled on this for daily use...for now.

This ROM booted perfectly, runs very smooth and seems to be working well. NO lock ups, sound, video, interface...etc. all working correctly.

Two things i have found thus far after 2 days worth...SERIOUS battery drain...like 50% in less than 12hrs. Fully charged yesterday, with minimal use, say 30 min surfing, down to 46% this am.

Second, WiFi will not toggle on/off. Tablet has to be rebooted.

Other Roms tested: 5.1.1

Pac-Man...tablet rebooted constantly, and when is use, froze up alot, unable to correct.

Evervol...worked well, but froze up all the time, would come out of this, but still a pita. SErious battery drain as well.

All roms formatted thru Touchpad toolbox (awesomeness) with full clean installs of everything.

Just $0.2 worth, but wanted to offer up my findings thus far.

Keep up the great work.

Gotta love a 3yr old tablet running the latest and greatest!

You are really kind of comparing apples and oranges comparing LL 5.0 w/3.0 kernel against two LL 5.1.1 versions with 3.4 kernel. Have you read the OP from Milaq's LL 5.1 thread? http://xdaforums.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightlies-t3108853. Huge warning not to mention you won't see much activity in that thread.

NT
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
NT.....hello there. I guess i should have been a tad more detailed.

sorry about that.

Evervol is a 3.4 kernel and the Pac-man ROM has both 3.4/3.0, I've tired all three.

My assumption the kernel has something to do with lockups, hesitation, etc?

(i did ramp up cpu and set min to 432)

Currently running CM12 5.0.2...very smooth and seems to be working well.

Battery drain continues and WiFi does come and go occasionally, but overall a daily driver for now. I'm still loading apps and doing some testing.

Again thanks to all the Devs for keeping us not to savvy occasional hackers up to date!

Cheers,

[snip]Removed now-irrelevant questions[/snip]

I can't install apps. The GAPPS package I'm using is the latest opengapps pico, but I don't think that's related; I've tried installing from the play store, which fails (504 error)--but I've also tried installing from the sdcard, and that doesn't work either.

I would get you a logcat (and try to debug myself first, as well), but I'm unable to access adb--adb on the computer tells me alternately that the device is offline or unauthorized, but the device never prompts me to authorize it. I've tried using adb locally as well, but it constantly shows offline. (adb is enabled. I have tried using adb both over the network and through the usb cable, and even tried adb connect locally).

Edit: Just saw update, installing it now.

Edit: Updating to 9-16 version didn't help. I also tried flashing (and manually copying) apk files (xposed and 3c) into /system/priv-app, but that didn't work either.
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
The latest Evervolv update has been good for me. Very few lockups and bluetooth is pairing a lot better. BUT, I've only been able to use my keyboard...other devices pair, but do nothing.

Flintman has his eyes set on Marshmallow :).

CM 12 on the 3.0 kernel is darn good also, but i was impressed at how the Evervolv team got the camera working (minus video) and the BT a bit further along.

As for battery, I haven't notice a major difference in drain on my TP. But I'll keep an eye on it.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
How do you track battery drain?

[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
I use 3c toolbox...i paid for pro quite a while back...it has very useful tools for me at least.

That is a heavy duty app! I just use his battery monitor widget which of course you have in his toolbox. Great way to keep track of battery health and battery usage.

Hi, I flashed the current nightly and the touchpad works as expected except the Wifi: The wifi switches off itself each minute or so. Is it a known problem of this ROM?

Thanks for supporting.
[TouchPad Development] onlinespending:
is there a trimmed down gapps that will work with this ROM? I tried pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-20150315-signed.zip, but it complains that it's attempting to flash over an incompatible version of gapps. So for some reason, even after wiping everything clean and flashing the latest nightly of this ROM, it's detecting an existing version of gapps that prevents the pico version of gapps from installing.

I simply want the Google Play Store and supporting services. No Gmail, Google Maps, etc. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Wipe system and caches, then reflash rom and gapps.

Hi has anyone else had WiFi problems? Mines keeps turning on and off when I'm streaming videos. And also anyway on how to over clock the CPU so it can run a bit faster?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Please verify which Rom you have installed, how long you have had it installed, how you installed it and any other useful info you can think of. If the developer did not build the ability to change the cpu clock speed in his Rom, there are numerous apps on the Play Store that will do it. Did you turn on developer mode? Once done, besides seeing developers options in settings, you will be able to see an option called "Performance." Under that tap "Processor" and under that you will see options to change min and max cpu speed. Make sure "Set on boot" is checked. All of this depends on the dev including this.

Well Mr. D***, you would be amazed at how many times people ask questions in the wrong thread.

NT
[TouchPad Development] Efreak2004:
Absolutely, yes. It doesn't connect to wifi automatically when it reboots. It also won't connect my bluetooth keyboard after a reboot, meaning to get mine working I need to use a usb keyboard/mouse and powered usb hub to get it connected again (touchscreen dead, I only use it for music).

There's dozens of apps available for this if you don't want to use the built-in functionality. I've used setcpu (very simple, easy to use) in the past, but these days I prefer the 3c toolbox free/pro utility, which has support for a bunch of other things as well. You should be able to easily make a launcher shortcut to the cpu control popup window, or (as I do) use PBMC xposed addon to make it pop up above whatever app is open when you double-press the power button.

Other apps that I know are popular include No-frills CPU Control and CPU Control Free/Pro, but I've never used either.

Any options for Bluetooth support with your nightly?

I've tried other 5.1.1 builds (PAC-ROM 3.0 and 3.4, Evervolv... much older build) and this is the only one that has shown success and stability. BT works with them, but if interface locks up every 2 minutes it doesn't make since to use it.

I have this installed as the only OS on the tablet. it wont let me charge the tablet without the genuine charging cord in android. Is there a way around not having to use this genuine cord?

[TouchPad Development] mschumacher69:
U can't charge the tablet on a USB port. The tablet needs 2A to charge, USB ports can only supply 0.5A. When u say genuine cable, do u mean genuine charger? Because I doubt the cable would make any difference. U need a charger that can supply 2A at least to charge the tablet.

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Like [MENTION=2642571]mschumacher69[/MENTION] said, you can't charge a TP from a PC USB port. Also, HP did something that cripples trying to charge from other 2.0 + amp chargers. You have got to use the genuine HP charger that came with the TP. You should be able to use any USB cable as long as it is capable of charging any USB device. There are some USB cables around that are data only. Just be careful you are not using one of them. If you can charge your phone or another tablet with a USB cable, that cable will charge a TP. When I first got my TP, the charger itself was bad. As long as the TP was turned off, I was able to charge it with a charger for a phone(.5 amp). Plug in the charger first, then turn off the TP. It's going to take a long time and the charger will probably get very hot. I still see genuine TP chargers on Amazon if you don't mind spending $20. I see then on Ebay for around $15, but looks like then are shipping from China. Shoot, that is where HP was getting theirs from too.

NT
[TouchPad Development] mschumacher69:
The tablet shouldn't restart if u plug in a charger that cannot supply enough power. But I guess there's a bug in this CM build that is causing a reboot when a low amp charger is plugged in.
[TouchPad Development] Tracks650:
I had an original Palm charger. The TP said it wouldn't charge with it but it really did. It just took longer. I mostly use the TP docking charger, it can't be 2 amps, but maybe it can??? (even with Android)
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
If you are speaking about the HP TouchStone, it is rated at around 1.5 amps. You say a Palm charger, do you mean one for a Palm phone. That is a .5 amp charger. That is what I used while waiting for HP to replace my original charger. It took like 12 hours, as long as the TP was turned off and the charger got very hot.
