Hi

Did the 2/13 update . Decided to do it again after updating to TWRP ver 3 , was on an early 2.8 version. I've been FS2F file system since the 5.x series. Flash took much longer than normal whatever it did seemed to help.

Everything is good . App's seem to install much quicker / normally now. Like the new look/background . Thanks for all the releases.

Only issue I've seen this morning paused a youtube video and wouldn't restart after fetching a coffee.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Flintman, the new release isn't visible in Updater (yet). I refreshed both nightly and testing tabs.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
It should be now. Sorry takes me a minute to log in and update. 8)
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Seems to work as long as I don't select 720p resolution. 480 works just fine, before it didn't. Thanks!

Marshmallow 6.0.1 related 2/16

No joy, Flintman. Did a dirty flash, wiping only /system partition. Titanium Backup still crashes the network services when it reaches 96% done (trying to backup the list of saved WiFi connections). Log attached. Look around 12:10 to 12:20pm. Only work around is to reboot and not use Titanium for now.

Also, the network does not connect automatically after reboot, I have to nudge it to start then runs well and holds the connection for long periods.

I'll next try a full clean install, painful as it may be.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I just backed up and restored my wifi connections. Maybe an app your running or just something corrupt. I have 3 touchpads and all working fine. With that being said do a clean install. You may have a corrupt backup from titanium causing the lock up.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I believe I mentioned it here earlier to someone else, after a clean install, do a data only restore with TWRP from your last full or data only backup.

[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I have been restoring my apps for several months using TWRP restore function. I full wipe, flash rom and gapps, reboot to recovery then restore data. Works great, much faster than TiBU.
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Dirty flashed 2/16. YouTube and Facebook not playing videos. The Facebook video was a cute gopher being released into the wild. It made me sad I couldn't see it. Very smooth and fast. If nobody else has video issues I'll try a clean install.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I use mxplayer. I watch a video on that first. I think it may install some codecs. After that Youtube works great.
[TouchPad Development] vik5:
Try wipe cache and dalvik cache
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Did that twice.

Everrvolv freezing

Hi all. I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this. So please forgive me if it is not. Has anyone else noticed that evervolv 6.0.1 for tenderloin is extremely slow to respond, and often freezes up completely requiring a reboot to restore usability of the touchpad?

I am running a completely clean install and dd not restore any data or apps from previous installs. I maade sure to wipe the cache and dalvik cache when doing the clean install. Yet my touchpad constantly freezes up on me.

I am running build ev_tenderloin-eng 6.0.1 MMB29T eng.root.20160131.134734 test-keys
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Video error

So i reflashed and YouTube worked great. Tried to play a facebook video and got bkack screen. Went back to YouTube and got problem playing please retry. I think this is what happened on previous flash as i thought i originally tried YouTube and it worked. Strange.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I have it installed on three different machines ,the latest version, and it flies. I would suggest updating to current build.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
All just want to make a note. We are having an issue with our upload log service. I'll be applying a temp fix in the newer builds but if you are going to upload logs you will need to select last_klog as an option this forces the upload to be in a different format that works. If last_klog isn't select as part of the logs I will get nothing.

Thanks

Big bad bug in Google glibc module

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35592916

Do we use this function module in TP?
[TouchPad Development] Hikikomorikruge:
I strongly suggest formatting you data and cache to F2FS using the steps in the opening post. It provided a massive speed increase for me.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Android is not affected
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Thanks I will try that.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

I believe that i do have the latest build installed. Or at least I am bot able to locate a newer build. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
WiFi stopped

Now using related 2/13 and experienced the network turning off around 4:30pm and not restarting automatically. I was able to kick it On manually. I gave it about 15 minutes to reconnect before I stepped in. Log below.
[TouchPad Development] chris5s:
Prolly just gonna get shot anyway, right?

Latest build seems to be more stable, less touch non-events requiring screen off/on, wifi stable, good stuff thanks!

Peace.
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Ok. So I have followed the OP steps to format everything to F2FS and have installed 2016.01.31: ev_tenderloin-6.0.1-nightly-2016.01.31.zip

Still it is extremely slow and freezes. Sometimes I can hit the power button once quickly to turn the display off and then bring the display back on and it will become responsive again for a bit. Other times I have to press and hold power & home to force a reboot in order to get it to unfreeze.

Any other suuggestions?
[TouchPad Development] Hikikomorikruge:
The newer test builds have been faster so I suggest you try the 2-16 build.
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
Hi Flintman,

I've tested your 02/16 test build.

WiFi is ok but there are unfortunately furthermore problems with HD videos.

All videos with HD material will not play with MXPlayer (HW+ decoder) and also HD material in some mediatheques here in Germany.

Just Amazon Prime seems ok but there I can not see the video type. I think this is SD material ot HD

Back to 01/04 test build all is ok.

I will try to make a log. Do you need this as a logcat log?
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Same problem here. Mx player says hardware decoder is not supported. Hardware decoder worked in 5.1.1 and earlier 6.0.1 builds. I wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and data before flashing the 0216 build.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
So i need some help when was the last working build that you didn't have issues with hardware decoder?
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
I've tested only the 6.0.1 builds.

The last build without the hardware decoder issues was the 01/04 test build. All later testbuilds had this problems, also the 01/31 nightly build.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Ok ill look into it.
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
I did a clean install and still had YouTube not working. Rebooted and cleared caches and now it works. Facebook video works, too. I used LocalCast to chromecast a movie last night flawlessly and MX player works for me but I only tried it on one move. I have noticed Wifi dropping a few times but it picks itself back up immediately without having to manually reconnect. Very fast and smooth. Battery drain seems to bounce around from -28 to -40 with battery monitor widget and i have wifi set to stay on always but will change that to never when sleeping and see how it goes. Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Did you install the right decoder? The built in decoder will not work for touch pads.
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Ok. So where do I find the newer builds? When I go into settings and update the newest build it finds is 1/31/2016. Likewise when I go to http://evervolv.com/devices/tenderloin the newest build I see is2016.01.31: ev_tenderloin-6.0.1-nightly-2016.01.31.zip

If you could show me where to get the newest vuild it would be very much appreciated..

Thank You for your help. ?
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I did the following to solve the mx player hw/hw+ codec issue:

I downloaded the aio pack from the following site:

http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254

I then installed the aio zip file under mxplayer's settings->decoder->customized codec

It has 4 libffmpeg.so files in the aio zip file. Not sure if there should be a similar one in our system's lib directory.

Update:

I extracted libffmpeg.mx.so.neon.1.8.0 ftom the aio zip file and copied it to /system/lib. I renamed it to libffmpeg.so and rebooted. I can now use hardware decoder from another app to play the tv stream. I believe my hw decoder problems are solved now.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Nightlies are having issues. Look at the first post.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Thank You very much flintman. It never dawned on me to look at the OP for updates. Derrrr ?
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Set wifi to never when sleeping. Turned back on an hour later and no connection. Went to wifi and it was on and searching for networks but did not find any. Turned wifi off and on and in five seconds it found ten networks and automatically hooked up to my home network.

Latest v3.0 recovery is not being accepted in toolbox the rest come back ok, any help?

Wth? So before ROM and gapps was going through but not recovery. Now I get my hands on a recovery that goes through but not ROM and gapps.
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Facebook and YouTube videos worked and then they didn't

Uncheck WiFi Optimization if it is there.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

You can always use a recovery that TPTB likes, get your Rom and Gapps installed and then use recovery to flash the v3.0 recovery you want.

NT
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Please discard my solution. The reboot is the temporary fix on the hw decoder problem, not the aio codec pac. After a while, the hw decoder problem surfaces again. This is similar to the auto rotation problem happened earlier. But this time, it happens randomly and so far I could not find a pattern. When it happens, youtube, mxplayer, and other tv app, all fail to play the video or the stream due to hw decoder issue. It seems a storage overlay somewhere.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Logcat attached. Thanjs
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I don't think its 100% but i can view HD video on youtube at 720p now and jump to different movies and all displays without issue.

Let me know 2-19-16 test build.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] schwatter:
i think i read somewhere using AOSP-5.1.1 base instead AOSP-6.0 give faster flashing in TWRP.

WiFi failures on different router

On the advice of other contributors here, I added a different WiFi router to my home network, a Netgear b/g device. I used only default settings for everything except the broadcast name, password, encryption and channel 11 (to separate it from the AT&T router). On the TP I turned ON the developer extended WiFi logging option after connecting to the new router. It showed a signal strength better than -60 dB. I then set it aside and didn't use. The network service dropped the connection within about 10 minutes. Logs attached; look at the time interval of 12:15 and 12:20 pm. I've experienced the same when roaming around town and connecting to a wide variety of routers. I'm still not convinced the router model is the cause of this disruption. My laptop and my phone do not exhibit this kind of failure anywhere.
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
Hi Flintman,

I'tested this testbuild. Sorry but the HW+ decorder dont't work.

MXPlayer 1.7.40 with deocder 1.7.39 and custom codec 1.7.32.

Also with the newer 1.8.3 MXPlayer with custom codec 1.8.0.

Also some other mediatheques here in Germany dont't work.

On the last build the HW+ decoder on MXPlayer work with SD Material but don't with HD material.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Could you get me a logcat. After you try and load hd go to toolbox and upload a logcat want to see whats going on. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
After a clean install (wipe/format cache, dalvik, data and system) also have HW+ decoding issue and apps like DSvideo wont work. Strange thing is that after clean install rom and gapps and fresh welcome screen etc. i installed all my apps manually through Googleplay. But, for instance, Tinycam Monitor Pro seemed to remember my home-cam instead i had to restore it from dropbox. Very strange...

Also spotify does not workon latest Testing-build reporting that 'No Storage Area Found'. Did not have that problem ever before.
[TouchPad Development] schwatter:
No problems with 19 build and 19 opengapps combined with spotify.

edit:

clean install of course
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
I hope this helps.

paste.evervolv.com/view/1faf9751

Thats an start of MXPlaxer with HD material. There is the message - the hw+ codec is not available.

There are also new wifi problems. After standby wifi don't connect automatically.

I must go tho settings-wifi an switch off and on the wifi. Then it finds the wifis around and connect.
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Same here with wifi. After standby it does not connect and it sees no networks until turned off and on then it auto hooks to my home network. Netflix not working, too. Hope this helps and is no way interpreted as complaining. Why can't I get spell check to work? Am i missing something?
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Ok..latest build (02-19) made Spotify work ok again! #yeah
[TouchPad Development] Versatil2010:
That's just what I ended up doing
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Dirty flash of 2/19. Netflix, yes. YouTube, yes. Facebook video, yes. Awesome. Still hangs on wifi on startup after standby needing off/on.

Wifi seems to stay connected if i leave it on always.
[TouchPad Development] Chevyguy85:
Dirty flash of 2/19 and initial testing has youtube 720 working fine. MX player hardware setting works and 720p videos play fine. My TP doesn't seem to like 1080p videos in MX player or 720p @60fps on youtube. They play but are stutterying as all and pretty much unwatchable. Thanks for the great work! I'll let you know if anything changes.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Flintman, this release 2/19 rocks! For the first time in six months the wifi automatically connects to my home router straight away after booting and stays up for long periods. I think my problem may have been carriied over from something snarky in 5.1.1, which also has link drop out issues. My sincere apologies for doubting you.

What I did different this time (since everything was going to be dismantled anyway in a full clean upgrade):

- backed up all of /data partition with andSMB to a local NAS file share on a home PC.

- booted into tptoolbox to reduce data partition by 4gb and increase /media partition by same (this extra will hold the twrp backup).

- booted into TWRP.

- took a full device backup, placing the output files in the /media partition (this will become evident later).

- wiped /system, cache and dalvik.

- converted /data and cache to F2FS format.

- installed new rom 2/19 and gapps 1/20.

- recovered data only from files in /media to new /data.

- wiped dalvik and cache again.

- rebooted to Evervolv.

- device started normally AND AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTED TO AT&T ROUTER WITHIN 1 MINUTE.

I'm golden now. I spent several hours testing apps. Most were perfect, but a few needed to have minor touchup, such as login or minor setting tweaks. But all were there and working.

Now the bad news. The twrp restore did NOT recover all of my data files. These are my personal collection of various material accumulated over years (photos, music albums, ebooks, documents and user guides for a number of home tools, like chainsaw, garage door opener, home theater, small garden tractor, etc, etc). But I had saved all of these in my NAS file share and I was able to retrieve them all within an hour or so.

Performance is good, maybe a bit better. Wifi network achieved 715 Kb/s peak, 707 Kb/s steady state throughput. Screen is smoother scrolling. Apps launch quicker.

I'm still testing with alternate router, memory speed, rest of apps, and other matters. But for me now, this release was a major breakthru moment. Thanks for persevering on this project.

Edit: SwyftKey keyboard input is balking at downloading the English language module. Wifi seems to turn off when the device sleeps, but it connects to the home router almost instantly when awakened. I verified the wifi setting is to keep the link ON always when connected to power. This impacts some scheduled tasks overnight, like backups.

Edit: Mia culpa, my bad. The firewall did its job well. SwyftKey was being blocked from Internet access. Once I opened that access channel, the English language dictionary downloaded properly as expected. This was my oversight and not a real issue. Sorry for the false flag.
[TouchPad Development] N!njaDuck:
The ROM is great. Thanks!

When I try and play Sniper Fury on it, all I get is a black screen with overlays for the weapon controls. Any suggestions on how to get the video working?

TIA
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Good news!! Neither TWRP nor CWM back up personal files like what you mention. Backing them up on your NAS to be later copied back to your TouchPad was the appropriate thing to do. TWRP and CWM are not like PC backup programs that back up the entire hard drive. In my experience, I am not aware of an Android app that does.

NT
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Thanks, NT! I dont recall ever seeing that stated clearly in these apps. Or offer a viable alternative. The novice user might be deluded in thinking their precious photos were safely protected, when they are not. ?

Is there something like robocopy in the Android world?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
New Test build UP.

:)
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Never heard of Robocopy. Just for grins, I did a little Googling and found this, however, it is three years old:http://www.talkofweb.com/how-to-backup-android-smartphone-photos-sms-music-and-everything/

Best I can tell, you are going to end up paying for something eventually. But as long as you keep your photos, music and the like on a server or thumb drive, TWRP or CWM will take care of everything else.

I agree, the developers of TWRP and CWM should make it clear that personal data like pictures are not backed up. I can also imagine why they don't. How big do you think a backup saved to the SD card would be if it included all pictures, music, movies? I do have all my Android devices automatically save any pictures I take to the cloud.

[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
The new build fixes the hw+ issue. Also, I can pair TP with my BT speaker and get the audio from the BT speaker. I am very happy with the new build. Thanks very much flintman!

I speak too soon. After a while, hw+ and 720p from youtube failed like I reported before. I will do a clean install and see if it makes a difference.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

I did a clean install of the new build. But I cannot get hw, hw+, nor youtube 720p video working again. This could be my device problem. I will see how others are doing later. But BT works great for me. Thanks!

Since I only installed youtube, mx player and another tv streaming app for testing after the clean install of my touchpad, I decided to use twrp to restore the data partition backup. After reboot, hw, hw+, and 720p youtube work again. This is really odd. I hope this only happens to me.

Not working again ?
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
YouTube plays but sometime freezes. BT pairs and plays sound on my Samsung sound bar. Can anyone tell me how to get spell check to work on the android keyboard? Thanks again! (2/21 build) Never mind about spell check. I changed suggestion to aggressive in settings and it seems to have fixed it!
[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
With the 0219 rom, YouTube works except for some losing frames.

On the 0221 build, YouTube doesn't play at all.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Nothing really changed between those two builds video wise. Minor changes. Try and clear data on just youtube and see what happens.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
still trying to figure out this 720p issue. video works fine as long as you don't use 720p. Once you swtich it to720p you got a one time view then you can't watch any videos until you reboot. Still digging in.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I'm glad you can duplicate the problem. I was afraid my TP has problem. This problem is bugging me that I'm still up. I'm installing 01/31 build just to confirm no problem on that build. 5.1.1 rom also does not have this problem.

One more thing. Most of the time when 720p does not work, a reboot may not fix the problem. Sometimes I need to restore a backup from twrp first and then reboot to fix the problem. Really odd. Thanks for your help on this.

I found jimjack indicated 01/31 build also has this issue. This saves my testing.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
2/21 release is much improved

+ Did a full clean install.

+ BT works with Logitech keyboard and HP keyboard, through repeated power cycles no sweat.

+ WiFi connects automatically and maintains connection over night (it used to turn off hard overnight).

+ Apps launch fast even with Avast! running.

+ Firefox and related Tor variant work well.

+ Play store refreshes and updates apps normally.

+ Double tap key has not been encountered yet.

+ Network speed performance is about as good as WiFi variances permit.

Issues:

- Back soft button in bottom center trio disappears occasionally, but not with all apps. Still collecting list of impacted apps to follow.

- Daydream clock (in settings) does not activate on device sleep.

- WiFi shuts down during sleep, even though the setting is to stay awake always in settings. It resumes quickly on device waking.

Edit:

The following apps cause the back button to disappear:

- evernote (only when keyboard is used)

- xda (only when keyboard is used)

- SwiftKey

- AccuWeather (only when keyboard is used)

- ...

The following apps display the back button properly:

+ 3C Toolbox

+ GoComics

+ Blood Pressure - mydiary

+ 3D Chess

+...

Without testing all apps individually, it is apparent that the use of any keyboard causes the back button to disappear. The back function still operates normally, but the back button image is invisible. I've tested with both SwiftKey and the default android keyboard with the same results.
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
I got the 2/21 test build on last night and I'm just amazed at how fahe BT pairing has come. Thank Flintman for working hard to keep this amazing tablet rocking.

I will share my findings as I test things out.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Hey Flintman, do you think about the option to use /system as f2fs portions? it should bring some improvements
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I have. But haven't seen anyone do it yet 8).
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Someone try it at the SGS forum with performance improvements, but it need more space.

If the option is include i will try it
[TouchPad Development] vik5:
The wifi works ,Bluetooth works with my jam wireless earburds .the ROM looks good only on keyboard back bottom disappear and when touch any key volume is low thanks for your hard work.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Took a couple of tries but my original HP bluetooth keybord for the TouchPad works. :) There were a few special function keys that dont of course (eg one for switching windows), but happy to be able to use the keyboard again. Great job Flintman!!
