Touch not working on Touchpad

I've flashed the ROM 2/21 .

No problem at all with the process and the TP successfully came up.

I've had a problem where touch was not working on a couple of places on the screen. I'm stuck with the initial setup now as the "Next" option comes in the part of the screen where touch is not working.

Could someone let me know what options I've to proceed with the initial setup? Will connecting a mouse with OTG cable be of any help? Will OTG work with this ROM?

Did you try rebooting into recovery and clearing caches or re-installing if that doesn't work? My touchscreen (the entire screen) was unresponsive today (1st time but I've heard others having this problem) and I turned it off and on and everything was fine.
[TouchPad Development] ukim:
Thank you. I've tried rebooting. But no luck. I did not try re-installing.

How do i clear cache? Am afraid I've not done that before.

This is working for me: gapps-601-base-20160120-1-signed.zip (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960689640).

Dear flintman, if it is possible - will be nice to change Introduction and Description and to include tricks about clean install from TP Toolbox, like:

1. TP Toolbox installation should make with 2.8.3.0 TWRP recovery with MTP support, after this to update to last one.

2. Do not know for other people, but for me GAPPS from http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano are not working during clean install with Toolbox on two devices, with this one https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960689640 no any problems.

Thanks in advance!

Ukim, boot into twrp recovery and click WIPE, advanced, select cache and dalvik only, then swipe to wipe. This should take only a minute or less. Then reboot into Evervolv. BTW, after you finish the flash operation, twrp offers an option to wipe these two areas. It is strongly recommended to invoke this every time you flash a new rom.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
On latest ROM (clean install) I can watch TV again with the Xs4all webtv app. That was a while ago on this ROM. Next thing to try is MXplayer with HW+ #fingerscrossed

EDIT: no HW and HW+ yet on my device (1080p)
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Evervolv related to 2/24

I flashed a little differently this time. I used the settings-updates-testing tool to download and flash the new rom. It worked great.

Just before bedtime I downloaded the image, backed it up to my Nas file share server, copied it to the /media volume/partition. Next, I allowed the updater app to take control of the unattended process (selecting cache, system and dalvik wipe, plus a pre-flash backup by twrp to /media area just in case). Then went to bed. Next morning, everything was done, WiFi was connected to my router, mail was collecting new inbound messages and BT could connect to previously paired Logitech keyboard. Avast secure line VPN works normally as expected.

Some new observations:

- I took the device to breakfast at a fast food restaurant and it would not connect to the Internet, but did connect to their router. It appears in this one location that Hotspot that impose a local browser login to an otherwise wide open site doesn't work. It might be this one particular site was down or not functioning right. Anyone else see this at Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, Panera or other open Hotspot?

- WiFi still occasionally flags the link as no Internet with exclamation mark beside the WiFi funnel in top right corner. But the Internet really works, even through VPN.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Several hours after testing I have no problems at home with WiFi (multiple routers/repeater on same ssid)

No problem so far reconnecting after standby/sleep
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I tried the new build 02/24 with similar results as before on youtube 720p, hw and hw+ issues. After I dirty flashed the new build, youtube 720p, hw/hw+on mxplayer were all working for a while. After TP came back from a deep sleep, none of them were working anymore, not even playing a youtube video with 480p or lower resolution. Even multiple reboots could not get any of them working again. I even tried clearing dalvik cache and cache and they did not help on previous builds.

Would the issue on the HAL module remain after a reboot?

It's mentioned that 01/04 build did not have this issue. But I could not download that build anymore. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
I guess you didn't read my what doesn't work 8P 720P would cause those issue you stated above

Well i think i got all the issues i can now view 720P video last night and today tried again still going. i have switched through a bunch of videos and watched netflix and jumped back to youtube videos all at 720P.

In regards to 1/04 build i tried that build and no luck on any video including netflix didn't work. Im going to test a little bit more but 720P videos are playing fine so far
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Hi flintman. I know that you indicated 720P does not work. But it seems a reboot fixes the problem for you, but not for me. I just don't want to miss out any info to you for your investigation. Sorry for the redundant info.

Very good news 720P videos are playing fine now. Thank you very much for your great work . Much appreciated.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Was just messing with you bud. 8).

Ya a reboot sometimes fixed it but a wipe of cache always fixed it. I want release a new build tonight i would be curious if hd+ is fixed but i know i can watch 720p on you tube. Bascally all i did was bump up the heaps a bit as i was running out of memory.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
Thanks for the update on the solution. If 720p issue is fixed, hw+ issue should be fixed. My experience is either all three work(720p, hw, hw+), or all three don't work.

Is it the dalvik.vm.heapsize that you increased? Thanks.

[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
mxplayer hw/hw+ videos and 720p youtube videos are running fine, even after a few deep sleeps. The new build makes a big difference. I believe the 720p issue is fixed. I will do more testings later on. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Just a reminder to everyone. Sullins has pointed out in his TPTB thread that the toolbox does not work with most Gapps packages out there because the folks that build them leave out an essential file that the Toolbox checks for. His solution is to use a Gapps from here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368

Once you have Android installed, then you can use recovery to flash whatever Gapps you want. Same thing goes for TWRP. I've seen a couple of folks complain that they could not get the 3.0.0.0 version to install. Use a CWM or TWRP that Sullins recommends and once you have the install done, then flash the TWRP or CWM that you want. Or you can try one of the older TWRP's in this thread's OP to get the install done. I have not personally tried MM yet, but see no reason why as long as a compatible Gapps and recovery are used, you should be able to use TPTB to install MM.

It's a data media Rom and needs /system set to 1 gb. I would even think that as long as you have a previous Evervolv data media Rom installed. and /system is set to 1 gb, you should be able to use recovery to install this MM build as long as you format /system and cache, but not data. I believe I have seen it discussed previously in this thread how someone used TWRP to correctly prepare the volumes and then flash this MM Rom.

Currently running 02/24 build and I cannot restore anything using Titanium Backup. I have tried cache wipes and it is no help. Please let me know what might be needed to help diagnose and I will try to provide it.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
I my case, other than experienced by [MENTION=4396896]nevertells2[/MENTION] I had not only to wipe but also format /data to achieve a real clean install. Gapps after flashing 02/24 and again wiping cache/dalvik.

Flashing from updater in Evervolv left me with a lot of flickering screens, no sound and green video's. Hw+ with mxplayer works now for me! #great!

HPTP overheating

Hi flintman,

Good job!:good: Evervolv 6.0.0 for TP is awesome, but my tab is overheating with this ROM.

Somebody else has the same problem?

See the screenshot

[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
No, no overheating problems after half a day of use...
[TouchPad Development] futr_vision:
Wow! Been awhile since I touched my Touchpad. Lat night I noticed new builds in my update center. Went ahead with the most recent and had nothing but problems. Kept getting errors. I finally managed to roll it back to Evervolv 5.0.2 (build ev_tenderloin-eng 5.0.2 LRX22G...) but I'd certainly like to give 6.0 a try again the right way. Looks like I am running TWRP v2.7.1.0(jcs 2014-06-12). So from what I have read so far(and it wasn't everything here) I need:

1. a different version of TWRP

2. A specfic GAPPS pakcage found on this page http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368 - (Is it this one? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759887409)

3. And of course the Evervolv ROM (not sure which one)

I have read something about using the TP Toolbox. Sounds very familiar and it may have been what I used when I first installed Evervolv in the past. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[TouchPad Development] LRGB:
Ok, first off you need to update twrp. Get version 3.0 (link in first post). You cant use the toolbox for this, so you either download the file directly into the touchpad or you transfer it via usb/bluetooth.

While you're at it get the latest ROM version, this one: ev_tenderloin-6.0.1-testing-2016.02.26.zip (link in first post) and the gapps linked just under it in the first post also.

After you get those 3 files in your TP, reboot into recovery and use your current TWRP to flash version 3.0 that you download.

Boot into twrp 3.0, wipe cache, dalvik cache and data (make a backup if you have stuff you want, or you can try a dirty flash but it might cause problems) and then flash the ROM, and then Gapps

There you go
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I'm running 02/26 build. I can restore an app usung titanium backup with no problem. You might want to ensure you are using the latest version of TB. Also go into Settings->Apps and select TB. Then select Storage->CLEAR DATA and try restore again. I hope this helps.
[TouchPad Development] futr_vision:
Kind thought it might be that easy but I'm now back to the same "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" error. Dismissing it I briefly see an "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" error message and then the com.android.phone error pops back up. Endless loop of those two error messages.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Futr_vision, you might need tptoolbox to resize the /system volume to at least 1gb. I also bumped up the size of /media to hold twrp backup in order to ease clean flashing process. I goosed it up to 4gb. I also changed the format of cache and data to f2fs just to try the new style, using twrp. Not required, just experimental.

With the errors you are seeing you need to do a full clean install.

Yup, just run "Resize Android volumes" and it will report what the current sizes are. Just remember, you have to take away the needed memory from /data first then give it to /system next.

[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Does the TP feel hot or is it that app just displaying the temp. Im curious if maybe the app is reading it wrong.
[TouchPad Development] Do Not Touch:
^^ If the temperature really was 82C, you wouldn't have been able to hold it -- that's almost 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe it's a bug in the program, either in reading or in displaying a "C" when it meant to display an "F".

Encrypting entire tablet

Has anyone tried to encrypt the entire tablet in settings/security? What was your experience? Would you recommend this? (Just curious after the recent Apple / FYI legal case raised my interest level)

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Jundaigrind, is your CPU still running hot? That is getting very near water boiling point. Extraordinary. I noticed the processor was being used 99% at highest frequency. Can you run something to list what service/app is chewing up the CPU (like 3c tools) to isolate this bad boy? Immediately after flashing a new rom, there's a bit of thrashing for a short period (maybe 15-30 minutes). If it's still running heavy after that, something is wrong or lost. You need to find what is doing this. Have you rebooted since noting this hot behavior report here?

I see you are using CPU Temperature by mooncakes. That app reports my device with a temp range of 36-42c on CPU, fwiw. Have tried another app?

Vanishing Back Button

Flintman, I've noticed the Back Button vanishing act a few times, in various apps. The only thing that seemed to be a common thread was that it would have been when the Back Button changes to or from the Hide Keyboard (down) Button. Could that have anything to do with the problem?

Also, I've run into the same double-tap problem that has been reported, but so far, it's only happened during the initial setup -- when I had to enter my passwords for my account and router. It seems to be okay thereafter (knock wood). Is there a different keyboard handler for the initial setup, or was it just a matter of luck (bad luck that it happened during hidden passwords, or good luck that it hasn't happened since)?

Thanks for treating our TouchPads to Marshmallow. Looks like it's really close to being ready for Prime Time.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Do not Touch, the disappearing/reappearing back button seems to be related to activation of the keyboard, and any keyboard, and soft or physical. The function underlying this key still works even when the key is invisible, if you know where it is located. It might just be a simple icon lost when the keyboard overlay is activated. I'm confident flintman will find this and fix it soon.
[TouchPad Development] futr_vision:
Yup. Figured it out. Did a resinstall that I thought was hung up but turned out to be fine. Looks like it is all working now minus some display issues. Occasional flickering and partial black screen.

Got a new question. My second touchpad has CWM and Cyanogenmod installed on it. Do I go ahead and replace CWM with TWRP and then go from there? What's the best way to do that is that is the case?
[TouchPad Development] LRGB:
Yep, that's it. Just make sure /system is large enough.

There shouldn't be any display issues, did you do a clean install? Wiping data?

Hi flintman, TP is hot but APP is reading temp wrong. 82°C before a6 firmware reflash (battery) and reinstall evervolv, for now it reports 67°C (so bad app for TP). I test with others APP temp is ~43°C with WiFi on and ~36°C WiFi off, always confirmed running "acpi -t" in terminal (i had forgotten busybox:rolleyes:)

Thanks

82°C is really absurd, the case would be burns now :D. Maybe it's a bug, but now i m using others apps:thumbup:. This APP from mooncakes works in my others devices in the past, but not in TP.

Thanks

Thanks for tips! I reflash a6 firmware for better battery performance, wipe and reinstall evervolv. Mooncake APP continues wrong:( Using others apps works fine;)

Sorry my bad english :D... I m trying improve them.

Thanks guys, regards!

I updated to the latest build, 02/26, wiped caches, checked version of TB, cleared data and cache on TB. All to no avail, still cannot restore. I have tried just App and App & Data, no difference. I guess I will read this entire thread tomorrow to see if I can gain any insight.

Anyone else have thoughts?
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
if u know which build your titanium backup works on, install that build and restore your backup.

then boot into TWRP (or CWM) and do either a full or data (volume) backup, save the backup on your 'Micro SD' volume (or external SD - the name may differ depending on the recovery type and version; if there isn't enough space on that volume, u will need to save it onto the internal storage volume and copy it onto your PC or laptop after the backup).

after which format all volumes (except Micro SD) and go ahead to install the 0226 build and gapps.

let the TP boot as per normal, connect to your wifi and log into your google account. if you want to, you can let the TP settle for a while (around 5-10mins) after the first boot.

reboot the TP into recovery and restore the data volume from previous backup (take note to choose 'Data' volume ONLY even if you did a full backup prior). if the backup is not in the TP due to a lack of space, copy it into the TP's internal storage first to do the restore.

clear cache and dalvik; reboot the TP

you should now have the latest MM build with all your apps from your titanium backup.

on a side note, some of us seem to have unique problem on their TP even if they follow the instructions right down to the dot.

take my TP as an example (32GB Wifi; camera is dead, no other hardware problem AFAIK), even if it is a totally clean install (all volumes EXCEPT Micro SD wiped numerous times) of the latest build and latest open gapps nano ONLY (no other apps and no change in any default settings), the advanced settings tab (3 dots stacked vertically) under Settings does not work since a few builds ago.

this happens in both portrait and landscape mode, with the touchscreen being perfectly fine.

i believe no other user has this problem and am really at wit's end.

i am inclined to think that formatting the various volumes may not necessary erase all data in them, which in itself sounds improbable ...

HD videos in mediatheques ok so far.

HW+ in mxplayer not. There are green flashes and many artifacts. After closing mxplayer in new start it says HW+ decoder not available.

Sorry, I dont't have enough time for more tests yet.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I've checked the properties of the videos I tested. They are 1280x536. I found one 720p video and it has the problem you described. But I don't need to reboot to play other non 720p videos usIng hw+. So it looks like we need to increase the heap size a bit more. Thanks.

Hmm... Today after an reboot there is it not possible to play a HD video in mxplayer - HW+ decoder not available...

No picture, no artifacts but when I go to the home screen there are massive flashes and flickerings. After an reboot ists okay so far.

Edit: Amazon prime video seems ok but I think they don't stream HD material to an Android device. I'tested an other mediatheque stream here in Germany with ist app. The app can also not play the HD material and the TP goes to an unconditional situation. I must reboot to user the TP.

So just when I thought all was going well. Started the setup and imported select apps from my wife's account via the wizard. All looked good. Even her wallpaper. Them the wallpaper disappeared. I figured maybe a reboot would fix it. Now it gets stuck at the Evervolv loading screen indefinitely.

Things that were odd before the flashing. When I used tptoolbox the first time to resize partitions I got a message to fix errors that were found. I went ahead and did that. Took forever. All partitions looked fine before flashing. Now I go back into TWRP after this bootscreen lockup and I get the same error message when trying to see the partition sizes. Am I missing something here? Maybe I'm using the wrong format? Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
You might try reformatting the volumes again (not just wipe). If that doesn't cure the error, you might try changing the format of data and cache to f2fs and try to flash again. If that doesn't cure the error, others will have to chime in here.

Flickering display

I've also just experienced the Flickering screen with 2/26 edition, somewhat like an old celluloid film out of sync, with rapid flashing. I had previously just been using Firefox to view CNN.Com and it was getting slower and slower response. I shut Firefox down and the display started Flickering uncontrollably. I forced the device to sleep and wake up with same Flickering display. Rebooting seems to have cured the issue. I couldn't catch a screenshot or log. If it comes up again, I'll try harder to capture more evidence. Sorry. This was the first time I'd seen this effect.

One way to be sure your install is a "CLEAN" install, like you suggest, make the data only or full nandroid backup using your favorite recovery. Then use TouchPad Toolbox "Complete Data Reset" and after the Rom and Gapps are installed, restore data only.

[TouchPad Development] futr_vision:
So far it looks like the reformatting worked. Can the formatting of the data and cache be done after the reinstall?
