How long wait the first boot after an update ?

I hold the booting animation "Evervolv" about one hour and nothing else
[TouchPad Development] emms007:
No more than 5 min for sure.
[TouchPad Development] franckDST:
Hi,

I was enthousiast to test android 6 on my touchpad particulary for a reason : the new USB MIDI protocol, usefull to rock solid connection between tablets and music production software

I have tried to enable it in the menu appearing at usb detection or in the developpers options but it doesn't fix my choice and switch automatically to another option.

I know it is for sure not a priority but I would like to know if it's something I could make work doing something special or if it's easy for evervolv to improve it in future releases.

Thanks for your work.

Clean install? Need to wipe data if you are coming from another ROM.
[TouchPad Development] coolfi:
Can anyone tell which version of gapps to use with 2016.01.18: ev_tenderloin-6.0.1-nightly-2016.01.18?

I've tried lots of them, some don't install and those that do give me the keyboard crash error.

Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] schwatter:
The last time i installed gapps was last year with open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20151212.zip.

After that i just installed romupdates without new gapps. They updated itself over playstore.

Till now all fine.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
OpenGapps mentioned already works for me. Make sure you are flashing the Gapps at same time as you are flashing the ROM.
[TouchPad Development] coolfi:
Thanks, but I am doing fresh install from kitkat,and rom is version 6.0.1 and link in the first post is to open gapps ver.6.0.0 and gives out error, needs to be for base 6.0.1. open gapps.

I need a link to an old rom 6.0.0, which I can then use for a gradual update to the latest, or 6.0.1 open-gapps.
[TouchPad Development] yohaskan:
From Evervolv, but 5.1.1 with dirty install... Yes I know... it's bad...

Just a try

If i wipe data partition, is it the same partition where is all my stuff ? like Book, movie, ect...

or just another Data for android ?

in another word, Wipe data, delete all my personnal files?

because

i can't mount this partition with MTP

i see only the SDCard1 partition (with TTinstall)
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Yohaskan , be sure to take a very good backup of all your data in the Data partition before proceeding further. Like to your PC using andsmb or some other WiFi protocol. When I purge /data, I take three backup styles. Once you reformat the /data partition, you can't recovery it from only the TP. Be patient and be careful.
[TouchPad Development] coolfi:
Fixed, the problem was with /system, did a format and re-flashed the rom after that flashed open gapps, and it worked.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
WiFi link dropping fixed (maybe)

It's been three full days now and I haven't dropped a single WiFi link connection, so far as I know. It has stayed up solid as a Sherman. Here's what I did :

- use a WiFi frequency scanner/monitor (such as WiFi Analyzer) to determine the lightest used channel in your router vicinity.

- log into the AT&T provided WiFi router as Admin and force the WiFi channel to the best one from above (channel 4 in my case).

- save the settings in the router.

- trigger the router to reboot/restart (I hadn't done this previously), being aware of restart process impact on your other household devices that might be downloading or uploading something important (child's homework, Microsoft patches, movie viewing, etc.).

- verify the tablet connects to the router. It should be automatic if you have saved this router previously.

Notice on your tablet that the right channel is being used to match the router selection. You might need to jump to another channel if your neighbor's home network changes as a result of your channel movement. I had to hunt thru three settings before finally settling on my solid link. All of my home devices are happy, including two TPs, a Windows Phone 8.0, a WiFi direct printer and Windows 7 laptop.

I don't know why Android would be more sensitive than Windows (which never dropped a connection), but I'm now able to move on from this nagging, irritating issue. ?

Good luck!
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
There is a new nightly coming out today. Fixes for all the theme stuff so themes are 100% working now and a bunch of updates. I recommend reverting theme back to stock before upgrading. If anyone has any issues you may need to clean install. I had to on one of my TPs but i was hammering that one with alot of changes back and forth so that could have been the issue. If you can't access just the theme app. Go to settings and clear data and cache on Theme app and Theme provider and reboot. That fixed it here for me. There are a few WIFI update in there as well. I haven't experienced any issues before and these wifi updates nothing changed on my end but maybe the ones with issues may help, let me know. I pulled away from BT for a few days i kept spinning around. Ill be going back at it again this week. Hopefully ill get something to connect.

Happy Flashing when it comes out Probably in 2 hours 8)
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Theming is possible? :D Flintman, you're the man!! :good:

Update: theming working perfectly. Great job Flintman!
[TouchPad Development] johnjingle:
What themes do you find the best?
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Theme preferences are pretty subjective, and to be honest, I tend to prefer layers theming more than CMTE theming. The one I am currently using is Euphoria Dark, but one I also like a lot is Material Glass, partly because I can use it on both CMTE and Layers ROMs. Though I prefer Layers, others prefer CMTE and to be very honest, I am thankful that I can have any theming on my TouchPad.

Other CMTE themes I like include Coalfield and Thyrus' Dark MTRL. I've also used Lynes, Merzee, and Vibrance in the past.
[TouchPad Development] schwatter:
I quickly found some cosmetic error. The navigation triangle disappear when keyboard pop up.

No clean install, do i have to do that?
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Weird, good eye... same thing is true with mine (clean install).
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
This artifact occurs with SwiftKey input app as well.

Same odd artifact occurs with SwiftKey input app. Did a full clean install.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Additional note on network situation: even though I've identified and saved my home WiFi router connection, the TP will not automatically connect. I've set the network to remain On during sleep periods. The link does tend to stay On much longer and seems to see a stronger power link with the router, meaning a smaller negative dBm rating overall (as seen in WiFi Analyzer app. I used to see -60, now seeing -50 dBm consistently.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Dream time clock broken

Settings + display + dreamtime + clock + setting = analog; settings + display + sleep = 5 min. Results in device going to hard sleep while on charger (cable or touchstone). Expected the display to show the clock that moves around every so often, but it doesn't. Is there any other setting needed for the dreamtime clock? I have it working correctly on Lollipop 5.1.1 for quite some time. Is it broken on marshmallow 6.0.1 version 2016-Jan-31.
[TouchPad Development] Yeseshvi:
I've been away for a while.

And I'm quite pleasantly surprised tht Evervolv nightly build is here!!!

Thanks for keeping my TP alive...

Will flash and report :)

Update :

I've flashed it using TPTBv42 after a complete data reset.

WiFi is good; animations are smooth. But the app opens up faster when I close it (back key) compared to when I keep it in memory (home key).

Rayman Fiesta Run runs really great (but the navbar won't hide, not a big deal), Dungeon Quest is smooth too. But Temple Run 2 just freezes the screen every time I play and I'd have to do a force restart (power + home buttons). I'll try out other games a few days later and report issues, if any. :)

I too have the back key disappearing issue (and the Play Store FCs).

In the status bar, the WiFi icon is placed a bit lower compared to battery icon.
[TouchPad Development] supercarrera:
I don't know if it's just me but wifi keeps constantly disconnecting on this latest nightly build (1/31). Wifi on the previous nightly build worked okay. I did a completely fresh install.

UPDATE: I rebooted my router and wifi works fine now. Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] Yeseshvi:
If u like the material colors, u can try out H2os cm13/cm12.1 theme. That's my fav, had been the standard one for my N4. :)
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Network dropping/not reconnecting

I've noticed with 1/31 release the network connection pointing out there is no Internet even when the WiFi link is active. Apps appear to to take no notice of the Internet absence and continue to perform normally (email, browser, xda, Dropbox,...). It seems to be a flagging error for the WiFi connection. If this shows up on your WiFi link icon (as an exclamation mark beside the funnel), you can go into settings + WiFi and shut it off then on.

Additionally, I've noticed the WiFi does not reconnect automatically when the device encounters a known, saved Hotspot. I have to manually force the connection to come on. I thought it used to automatically come on by itself.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
It should connect automatically. Now im wonder something what type on encryptions do you use on wifi. I use wpa and never had an issue.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I use WPA encryption of my home WiFi. It connects well when I force it manually. But it never connects automatically.

BTW, it does alert me when I'm out and about when any nearby WiFi signals seen. But even when I save the location, the TP will not reconnect automatically. So it's not just my home WiFi router at issue.

Update: here are the logs for an event of loss of Internet while retaining the WiFi link. It occurred some time between 6-7pm est.

I included a screenshot of the lost Internet connection (if it can see the top right corner in the frame).
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
When I first flashed the latest it had one instance of not automatically connecting to WiFi but ever since always connects. I have mine set to keep WiFi on during sleep only when plugged in under Advanced.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Yes, Nomad, I have the same setting..
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I'm running 01/31 build and using wifi wpa encryption. Wifi does not automatically reconnect after every reboot too.
[TouchPad Development] wingerxda:
It's router dependent, not WiFi password type dependent.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Just put up a test build. Did a bunch of updates to wifi repos. Let me know if that fixes your problems with auto reconnect.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
With the test build, wifi still does not auto connect after a reboot. But after a wake up from sleep, it auto reconnects. An improvement! Thanks.

This is not a big issue to me. I will include my logcat in another post.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Log attached.

2/4/2016 test release findings

I flashed the 2/4 release after wiping only the system partition (along with gapps kit). Reboot was successful. I then turned off the legacy Lollipop WiFi setting in the developer section to be sure of using the new WiFi logic (also stopped and restarted the WiFi to be sure it was fresh activation). Now still seeing WiFi drops and Not reconnecting known, saved hotspots. Am also experiencing the exclamation mark beside the WiFi funnel in the top right corner, indicating WiFi is connected but not the Internet , even tho apps can still use the Internet (like right now in xda). See attached logs and screenshot.

I'm not seeing much difference from the Lollipop release, as it relates to network. Still dropping connection every hour or two. Definitely over night.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Wallpaper disappears occasionally

I just experienced the background wallpaper disappearing.. Attached is what it should look like and the black background when it disappeared. I had to go into settings to re-establish the background wallpaper again, as it didn't refresh in a reasonable time (15 minutes). Also see logs attached. Using release of 2/4.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Running 01-18 here, no issues with the wi-fi on this flash, but I've only had it at home and not at any hot spots.

Trying to decide whether to flash 01-31 or 02-04Testing... May just roll the dice.

The only real issue that I seem to be suffering from is the touchscreen going out. I haven't read through all 56+ pages of this post yet though.

App loading is slow. Seems to be using up a bit more RAM.

What we wouldn't give for 2GB of memory now -eh?

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Not quite sure why manually picking channel 4 seems to help your situation. But if it works for you, who am I to question why. I'm linking an article about picking the best channel you might want to read. The general rule of thumb is you don't want to pick a channel that overlaps with other channels. Companies recommend channels 1,6,11 since they don't overlap with any other channel. A router will automatically pick one of those three. And if your router supports 5ghz, you will find you probably have that spectrum all to yourself. Including 5ghz support is one of the few smart things that HP did when they built the TouchPad. I'm the only one on 5ghz in my area.

NT

Oops, sorry, forgot to include the link: http://www.extremetech.com/computin...your-wifi-speed-by-choosing-the-right-channel
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
My neighborhood is saturated with AT&T routers, so I'm not so lucky as you. At any given time I can see up to a couple dozen router signals within a 100 meters, all competing for those precious 12 channels. So there's a lot of tussle amongst them. I don't know precisely how these sort out the overlaps/collisions/retries/etc, but mostly it works, kind of, sort of. Right now channel 4 is giving me the best strength signal and holding it for longer times. Which could quickly change if another neighbor changes from cable to AT&T broadband. If anyone can offer another alternative, I'd be open to listening.

As you can see in these screenshots, there is congestion galore. My router is QWERTY2 in red. There are No 5Ghz devices around.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Yeah, my neighborhood is overrun with Verizon Actiontec routers. BTW, who is your ISP?

Does your router support 5ghz? That would be the obvious place to to if it does. You know your TP does, right? Actually, my area is about as crowded as yours. Sorry, I forgot to include the link, it's there now. Those so called 12 channels is in reality three, 1, 6, and 11. Read the article and you will see what I mean. There is one tab in WiFi Analizer that actually shows you the channels that everyone is on. It's the one just to the right of the meter tab. I see you on channel 4. Who is the dip on channel 9? And Channel 11 is all jammed up. I would pick chan 6 if it were me. But like I said, if 4 works for you, go with it.

Here is the link again: http://www.extremetech.com/computin...your-wifi-speed-by-choosing-the-right-channel

There is one solution you could try if you have cable in a room , say the bedroom for a TV. Actiontec makes WiFi extenders that connect to the cable rather than trying to resend the WiFi signal from the home router like most WiFi extender do. Have a look here, http://www.actiontec.com/305.html and do some Googling about the WBC3000N. It is a dual radio router, 2.4 and 5 ghz. I've been using mine for around 6 months. It's nice to have 5ghz all to myself. ;)

NT

P.S. I just stumbled onto this: http://www.actiontec.com/312.html

Looks like you connect it to an AC outlet near your AT&T router, connect an Ethernet cable from it to the router and where ever you plug in the second module, you have dual band WiFi in that area. No coaxial cable required.

Hi flintman, I've done some testing on the new build. It fixes the crashes of es file explorer and titanium backup. I can restore some apps so i don't need to customize them again.

I had the following issues before on a tv streaming app- the app did not stream with hardware encoding; the video stops quickly with audio only when i used software encoding. Now the app streams ok with software encoding. Hardware encoding still have issues.

Chromecast screen mirroring still has problem. It seems to relate to codec issue, similar to the above streaming app issue of using hardware encoding.

Facebook messenger seems a bit better but still crashes. This time might be related to crypto.

Chrome is now more stable. Before it crashes after a while.

The new build is much better. Thank you!

I can live with the above issues.

If you have time, I can send you a logcat with just thd above issues. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] 4GivenByChrist:
Flintman, MM is running well on my TP - Excellent job! One thing I have noticed is the updater keep notifying of 5.0 updates. Is there somewhere I can turn the 5.0 notifications off?
[TouchPad Development] w1ll1m:
I have a slight issue.

When trying to install the new ROM via twrp, twrp finds the internal storage empty. But the external storage is visible with previous ROMs.

In es file explorer, the external drive appears empty.

This drive was created via the touchpad tool.

Quite a weird problem

Stuck at patching system image unconditionally

I'm using the twrp recovery provided, and I resized my system partition to 900mb, but it stays at "Patching system image unconditionally" forever. What am I doing wrong?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Try a format of system partition through the recovery. if not i would need a log http://rootzwiki.com/topic/24120-how-to-get-a-log-from-twrp/
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
At the current time negative. It will let you know all updates. That was one big reason for the change in file names after i believe kitkat. Before you would get a New update and not know what version it was. At least now you can see if its 5.1 or 6.0 There will be no more updates for the 5.1 roms as i have moved over to 6.0. Unless i find something in 6.0 that would help 5.1 but i will let you know. I will put that on my list of ideas to add to the updater but for now the answer is not at this time 8)
