It's ready for use alright. Been ready for over a year now. I've been running the 20151201 version since last January (2015).

Daily driver, K9 Email, Dolphin, YouTube, all work fine.

Was running great up until a Google Play (or related) update in December then system started to act up.

Flashed 20160113 but it's still not as good as it was. I'm going to completely wipe and re-install 20160113.

Considering this tablet was designed around WebOS (5) years ago and here we are able to flash to the latest version

of Android, speaks volumes for the Devs that commit their time and energy to keeping this tablet viable.

And the Kidz love the boot animation...

Maybe I missed a step and it didnt work for me. And yes its true that the the developers who work on these things do great work.

In any case, I'm running another rom (linked here) fine now (by Jcsullins who also made the Touchpad Toolbox). I ran the Toolbox again and reallocated the system partition to 1GB and did a complete data wipe ('complete data reset', using the Toolbox).

This one works ok but the camera doesnt seem complete. Hopefully the dev fixes it.

I Shumash, i installed your roms, coming from Kitkat and i have the keyboard double character bug. I tried like you said the July 8 2015 to install Google Keyboard, it still happen, tried Shiftkey beta, still happen. Is there anything i need to disable for it to not happen ? I am using the lastest 3.0 kernel build. Do you need a logcat ? It's really annoying to need to verify what i type everytime since i am more of a physical guys than virtual touch stuff.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Change to smartmax governor in kernal adiutor --> cpu --> governor.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
A complete date wipe seems to work best IMO, and setting 'cm-system' to 1GB sure can't hurt. - Size does matter :)

Seems to me that Android keeps getting hungrier and hungrier for space, just like every OS before it.

The camera on the TP is, too put it mildy, bloody lousy to begin with. HP designed and manufactured one heck

of a piece of hardware and then skimped on the camera.
[TouchPad Development] Atari-San:
I already did that at first, maybe 1914Mhz might be too high ? Minimum's 432Mhz, did not touch Governor Tunables setting. I selected bfq as Scheduler since it might be the best for offline MKV file reading on MX Player and Read-ahead at 4mb, otherwise, i did not touch anything else.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Drop it to 1782 and see. Since I don't have the problem, I haven't got any other ideas.

OTG Support

flashed your ROM using the TPToolbox... super easy! thank you so much.

Hello, this ROM is Also compatible with the HP TouchPad 4G version (FB354)?

do I need to do anything special to upgrade from an old CM 4.0.4 ron?
[TouchPad Development] dhomas:
I'm pretty sure this ROM doesn't support USB OTG. The hardware itself has limited OTG capabilities. IIRC, you needed to use a y cable to get your USB device to connect to both the HPTP as well as to an external power source. I never ended up using it, since it was too complex a solution.

It's a lot easier to update one's TouchPad since J.C. Sullins created TouchPad Toolbox. But, you need to educate yourself on how to use it and decide which version of Android you want to install. A little tip, if you want a mature, stable and reliable Rom, Sullin's CM11 builds are where you want to go. There is nothing wrong with Shumash's Roms, I am just partial to Sullin's work. You are welcome to try any of the current Roms around.

Hi folks. Is the bluetooth still a work in progress? I had an older HP TP that connected fine to a BT speaker and my newer one running this rom doesn't see any BT devices. My computer can see it but won't connect.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Best of my knowledge, most LL Roms have BT issues. May see the device, but may or may not connect. From back in May Shumash said,

"I did a factory reset install from recovery, but you can try just cleaning caches, and see how it goes. Report back. Keep in mind that this is beta and KKK is not. Bluetooth is a WIP and I've been experiencing some random reboots."

NT
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Bluetooth works as well on this rom as it works on any LP rom, i.e. no guarantee for any specific device.

Swap use & other questions

Hello

I am running pac_tenderloin_LP-MR1.Unofficial_20160108-120253-3.0.zip

On my Touchpad 32gb.

I have been trying to use Roehsoft Ram expander to create a swap file and "increase ram". Roehsoft has as compatibility checker that shows it is compatible with my setup.

However, whenever I have the swap active it causes random reboots after only a few minutes of use.

I have tried making the swap as small as 312mb and as big as 4gb. I have tried setting swappiness anywhere between 10-50. In all cases the reboots persist.

Any ideas on how to use swap without this issue?

Also, I have noticed that Chrome Browser and Gmail app are extremely slow. Any suggestions to speed them up?

Lastly does anyone have any suggestions of optimal performance settings using the Kernel Adiutor that is built into this ROM?

Thanks for all of your help.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I see a multitude of issues with what you are trying to do. I read the developers comments on Google Play Store and is designed to run from an external SD card. TP does not have a real external SD card. Where did you try to place the swap file? The /media volume is what HP invented as the substitute for an external SD card instead of including a real SD card slot. If you did not increase the size of the /media volume to a couple of gigs and place the swap file there, trying to use it on the internal memory(internal SD card) could be the issue. Second, the SD card has to be fast memory, like class 8 or 10. I also read some reviews on this app, and they were not very good.

Lastly, this build is highly experimental and you are trying to run an app that has questionable value on a build that has it's own issues because of it's experimental nature. It's a recipe for failure. You could try other LL builds or drop back to a KK build that is more mature and has less bugs needing to be squashed.

I use Chrome and Gmail all the time, but not on this particular build. They work fine. The build itself could be the issue.

Can't help you with Kernel Auditor, never used it. There are lots of other apps that work well for tweaking the performance.

NT
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Thanks for the feedback. I have been trying to create the swap in internal storage as the /media volume appears to only be 100 mb in size. I have been trying to figure out how to increase the size of the /media volume but have had no success. Any suggestions?

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Have you ever used J.C. Sullin's TouchPad Toolbox? It has a built in volume editor that allows you to move memory from one volume to another. Generally, memory is taken from /data and moved to /media. You can read up on TPTB here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756314

NT
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
I am very familiar with TPTB and would not be without it. I have only ever used it to do a clean install of a new ROM though. I never would have thought to use it to simply resize volumes. I will try that now.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
TPTB is very good a volume resizing. You may have already figured it out, but you have to TAKE memory from /data first which becomes unassigned and then GIVE it to the volume where you want it, in this case, /media. I believe if you move 2048mb, that will give you 2gb + what is already there to /media. If you want /media to be exactly 2gb, then you'll have to do a little math. Only difficulty with TPTB resizing is it only does it in specific increments, but I have never had a problem getting to the exact size I wanted.

NT
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Thank you NT for the suggestion. Yes I did already figure it out. I used TPTB to increase the size of the media volume to 8gb and then created a 4gb swap file. So far it seems to be working flawlessly.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Well, you have proven that it can be done with Roehsoft Ram expander. Can't imagine what it is that you do that needs that much Ram. Also, why did you increase /media to 8gb? Do you plan to use it for something else besides Roehsoft Ram expander? When data/media Roms were created for the TouchPad, it was to eliminate all the issues of /media based Roms and give the maximum amount of memory to the /data volume. The SD card location was moved to the /data volume and the only reason the /media volume still exists is to support TPTB so it can remove WebOS and still install Android. If it could be done any other way, I'm sure the /media volume would have been eliminated. I suspect if the TP had a real external SD card slot, /media would be gone. Too bad HP created a really nice tablet without an external SD card slot. :(

Did you make a Nandroid backup? Was the camera working then? Restore your backup. Did you read this thread to see what others had to say about issues with the camera? Any Rom by any developer much past KitKat, will probably have camera issues. If having camera working is a deal breaker, stick with what works.

Installing/rebooting ROM

First off, thanks for all the great work (to you and others who have taken on the project of keeping the Touchpad relevant)!!!

I installed JCSullins 4.4 and wanted to go to Lollipop. Your version sounded interesting so I wanted to try it but I may (or may not?) have run into some problems.

After install/reboot (cleared caches and resized (hopefully) the correct partition) I get the PacMan logo and a beautiful blue screen, then the screen goes blank. I've waited for a bit but then hit hard reboot (out of panic? :( and got back into TWRP. How long should I expect to wait on that 1st reboot after install? I've since loaded and booted JCSullins Lollipop and it also seemed a bit long at reboot, but never got any blank screen and it's now up and running.

Thanks in advance. Still interested in checking out your ROM.

Cheers....
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Not enough information to answer definitively, but generally, anytime you go from one developer's ROM to another or from one major android version to another, you need to do a full wipe (system, data, and caches). The easiest is to use jcsullins' TPToolbox, but that erases and installs everything and is picky about the match between the recovery, ROM, and gapps. If you want to do it from TWRP or other recovery, do a full wipe, and then install both the ROM and recommended gapps. Leaving an old gapps on a new ROM always causes problems. If everything goes right, you should see the blank screen for a short duration followed by the PAC-MAN bootanimation and a loooooong first boot (20 minutes or so).
[TouchPad Development] stephr1:
Shumash,

I appreciate the fast response. I never wiped the system directory (?) cuz I was never sure if that would take out WebOS (which I keep around as a solid fallback/"just-in-case"). Maybe WebOS is in a completely different partition and I'm just neurotic??

I did get the short blank screen, followed by the PacMan flash screen (for some time), the blue screen for a short time and then back to a blank screen for what seems to be a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time :) If that seems off to you then I'll go back, wipe system/caches (I assume that's what you mean by a "full wipe") and try another install.

Yeah, I sort of got that about TPTool box. One other item....I noticed there are 2 source folders where things get installed from: ttinstall and cm-install. I assume that's dependent on which install program is used.

OK. Unless you can tell me I've got something seriously wrong going on, I'm off to try it again. I'll post back when I have some kind of results (hopefully good!!).

Again, thanks...and cheers....
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Wiping system gets rid of the last android system; it has no effect on WebOS. TWRP isn't even aware of WebOS. If all you've got is ttinstall and cminstall, you may not have prepared for a data media (dm) ROM. You'll need TPToolbox to do that. Read up here
[TouchPad Development] stephr1:
OK. Seems like I've developed some other problem(s) mostly unrelated to (but affects) getting your ROM up and running :((

1. When I try to download Lollipop and gapps from my system to the TP I get a message that I only have 138MB available and the files are ~1GB in size (iirc).

2. If I boot into recovery mode, I can see ttinstall directory, but cm-install seems to have vanished.

3. The TP doesn't always show up in Explorer (it does, however, show up as a USB device).

However, both WebOS and JCSullins Lollipop come up just fine. Seems like I/something glitched along the way. Feels like I have to go back a step or 3 in order to move forward.

Any suggestions for doing this the easy way? Thanks.....
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Make sure you have only the three files you want in ttinstall, using TPToolbox to install them. It won't hold anything more.
[TouchPad Development] deafasheck:
Is this tptb compatible or AOSP only?
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
That's like asking, "Which is faster, by plane or to Chicago?" But to answer the question, it's compatible and it's CM-based.

TP claims no space to download Android and GAPPS

I finally found some time to circle back around on this (had to remember what was wrong the last time :(

I booted the TP into TPTB (V4.2), mounted the media volume and then tried to load your latest ROM and recommended GAPPS on the TP (ttinstall). I get an out of space msg. Looking at it from a Win 10 sys, it shows total size of the USB drive mounted with only ~140MB of space left (out of 1.39 GB) and won't allow me to load the android s/w to the TP. Using TWRP I did a wipe of system, data and cache(s), and still tells me not enuf room.

I looked for the cminstall directory thinking there might be some files left in there and can't seem to find it even tho the TWRP wipe process references it.

Any suggestions? Thanks.....
[TouchPad Development] shumash:

[TouchPad Development] stephr1:
OK. Figured out what the space problem was. I discovered a directory called LOST.DIR and there were a number of files in it (I expect listing lost dirs). I deleted the files (not directory) which opened enuf space to download Android and GAPPS. Tried another install but same problem as last time...short PacMan bootup screen then blank screen (could tell it was on from a bit of backlight). Even went downstairs for ~1 hr and came back to find the blank screen.

My guess is that the LOST.DIR files indicate some mishap somewhere along the way. Maybe I should delete everything Android on the TP (want to keep WebOS...call me sentimental :) and start from scratch. Any easy and smart way to do that?

I may try JCSullins CM12.1 version and see if that can install, just to check it out.

Thanks and cheers....
[TouchPad Development] stephr1:
Update: I found a moment to install JCSullins Lollipop (CM12.1) version and it installed and came up and running quickly and without any problems. Seems like something in my Touchpad got altered to mess with the ability to install your ROM :(( Don't know if it means anything, but my TP was running JCSullins CM11.1 version when I tried to update to yours.

Would still like to check out your ROM. Any suggestions on how I can get that to happen (without things going haywire again)?

So, is there a recovery version for your ROM (like there is for the 1 I just installed), or do I go thru some kind of recovery process (using TWRP or TPTB) using your ROM as the recovery ROM (can you tell I haven't done this before :(

Curious....with your ROM any idea what the typical power draw is when the TP is in standby mode (not powered off). With the JCSullins CM12.1 ROM my TP shows about 8-10 ma (with occasional 16-18 ma spikes). That's comparable to JCSullins CM10 (skipped CM11) which sat around 6-8ma.
