The reason I asked, is the developer, in this case Flintman, will update the OP when any initially reported bugs have been corrected. I know reading through these threads can be tedious, that's why I always suggest that you always read the OP first to see what the current situation is about a given ROM. I have also found that using search in XDA is about useless. Hope that helps.

If you followed the instructions exactly, there should not be a problem. Please describe in detail what you did. I suspect that you missed something. TPTB completely resets the memory on the TouchPad. With WebOS removed, there is more than enough memory available in /boot to install all the needed uImages with enough space left to add TPTB as a uImage too. This is the best I can offer without knowing more.

[TouchPad Development] petsander:
Thx for your help!

I could fix it. For me, it was a little bit simpler to do so. I booted into webOS and I was able to delete the old uImages with Internalz Pro by navigating to /boot.

Now I have Android M on my old Touchpad!

HP Touchpad 4G MM build

Hi Flintman!

Great to hear again from you! You did a 4G build? Fabulous! I am really excited about that! :D

But unfortunately I cannot find the 4G build on the evervolv site... Where do you host it? Do you have any link for downloading?

I only get an update on my WiFi TP (2016.04.30) through the system update utility, but I think, this is for WiFi only, right?

Please let us know, where to download the 4G build also.

Cheers & thanks again and again for your great work! :highfive:

[TouchPad Development] DJRobNM:
Thanks!

I just signed up to give Flintman thanks for producing an awesome rom.

I did a clean install and everything works shockingly well, even more so than the cm10 I was on before.

I don't know how, but even wifi range has gone up. I stay connected in my building's workout room downstairs, something none of my other devices can do.

The only issue I can find is sporadic stuttering when I stream bluetooth audio.

I have tried adjusting performance, turning off wifi, and using 4 different bluetooth devices, but the stuttering persists.

It's honestly so sporadic that I think most won't notice, but I'm using the touchpad primarily as a spotify, amazon music, google play streamer so I might need to go to something else.

I'd really hate to because everything else works so well. Anybody have ideas on stopping the stuttering?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Well i found the issue for certain situations when the screen flutters when you touch it after watching HD content, have a live wallpaper, and a few other things will cause it. Just trying to get the permanent fix should be today

Camera.....

I notice this dude has our kernel in his repo, he has an msm8660, and he did some massive changes for marshmallow..

Seems evervolv patched bionic in lollipop for libmmjpeg.so????

Guess that doesn't fly in marshmallow... but he uses MACH_HTC in the kernel and some other qcom stuff we don't use.. I thought his setup didn't use libmmjpeg.. but it does via a qcom daemon that runs in init.pyramid.rc....

interesting.

Cheers for the 4g version! I haven't got data working yet, but I've got my tablet powered up and running for the first time in weeks, with it :)

Not sure if this is somehow specific to this device, but Play Store isn't letting me into any of my paid apps from the device -- it's forcing me to pay for them all again. I am definitely on the same account as all my other devices. Anyone else see this with any other android thing? Policy change from Google? or is something just messed up?

* edit: nevermind on that question, apparently that data comes in on a slower channel or something, they all show as "Purchased" now. Took about 5 minutes or so.

* further edit: just tried a pair of different sims that i had here. One a fresh AT&T sim, another one without a brand label on it. Neither seem to get data up and working. Did select the "broadband" APN. Any ideas? Getting "No service" and "Data service is blocked" messages.

I'm using TWRP 3.0.2 and it's working great with the TWRP Materialized theme!

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

@flintman, any chance you could release TWRP as an .img file instead of .zip? This is a prerequisite to changing the TWRP splash screen in TWRP Materialized.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
TWRP 3.0.2 flashed here just fine.

yeah.. so.. my ATT SIM and unbranded one both come up with No Service, one with "Phone blocked" and "Data blocked", the other with "Data blocked". I put in a known working Straight Talk ATT SIM from a functional GNexus, and when it comes up the phone app crashes, and I show a connection, but it doesn't work. :| Maybe I'll swing it by a ATT store and see if they can get it online.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Hi Flintman!

TWRP 3.0.2 works flawless in my setup - no problems so far.

As for the 4G testing build, I found theses few things so far:

1.) Wifi is stable so far when used continously. But when I let the TP rest (several hours, i.e. over night) in standby, WLAN won't turn on automatically when used again the next morning. I have to select my WLAN manually - then it directly connects and everything is fine again. My WLAN setting is "WLAN activated in standby" (forgive me the wrong translation - I don't use the english setting, so I cannot write down the exact strings here).

2.) When rebooted, it sometimes comes up also with WLAN disconnected.

3.) I also get a "Process com.android.phone was terminated" pop-up after reset (sometimes).

4.) After a reboot the data network is sometimes not available ("no SIM card") - see 3.). Then data service never came up again. In this case I only get it to work again, if I boot into TWRP (3.0.2) and wipe Cache & Dalvik. After the next reboot (takes much longer of course with optimizing apps), the data service is back again and working fine.

5.) Once the data service is up and running, it really works fine without any problems!

6.) The stand-by current is about 60mA. I think this is more than in the non 4G version of your 6.0.1 build, right? Are there any chances to get it down?

I hope, this helps.... If you need any further infos, let me know. I will try to help whereever I can to get this fixed. :fingers-crossed:

Once again: Great great work! My TPs are getting new life with your fantastic work! :)

[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
The trick is to read read and read the dozens of threads related to the Touchpad and Android installations... Most of the people around here have done this process 100 times since the last years, so they are familiar with the "how-to". And for those who are not, some really helpful guys have written some really helpful guides and did a lot of videos.

The most helpful for you may be this one http://rootzwiki.com/topic/179730-rom-guidehow-to-install-android-5xx-44x-with-jcsullins-tptoolbox-the-super-easy-way/

You just have to replace the rom, the gapps and the recovery files from there with the latest ones you can find in this thread for Flintmans Evervolv 6 release. And then you should be good to go...

Let us know how it goes for you!

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Flintman,

one another thing I encountered today (my 4G TP rests beside me actually) are multiple random resets. Actually I am charging it since 2 hours and the TP is rebooting, rebooting and rebooting. Min. 5 times right now. Did you encountered that too at your side? Maybe this is only, when connected to the charger... have to keep an eye on this...
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
The Straight Talk SIM is an AT&T SIM, it's currently being used in a AT&T locked device, and I've used one in a TP4G before in webOS. . before I converted to miniSIM for my Nexus 5.

Use the TP Toolbox(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756314)

It makes it SUPER easy to partition the drive and add the files and flash.

Takes 5 minutes and then once you have TWRP up and running you can flash other ROMs or updates to Evervolv!

So I pulled the uImage.TWRP out of the TWRP .zip file and renamed to .img. However, it would appear, this is not a standard image. Here's the error when I attempt to run unpackimg.bat from the Android Image Kitchen:

Is there a reason the tenderloin TWRP images don't have Android boot magic? Any way to fix this? (In other words, how did you create the TWRP uImage?)

OK, I made some progress by extracting the uImage. It looks like there is both the Linux Kernel and TWRP uimage embedded. Can you advise on how I can go about unbuilding and rebuilding after making my changes?

What was the name of the Gapps file that you used?

NT
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Flintman,

I found, that the 3G/4G data connection is sometimes lost when in sleep and sometimes restored, sometimes not. Sometimes with a lost SIM card, sometimes not. Therefore I captured a logcat with CatLog app and filtered it with "phone". The resulting txt file is attached.

At first I enabled air plane mode and disabled it. Then the data connection symbol in the status bar changed to "no SIM card", holds for a while and after some time he finds the SIM card again, but needs again some time (minutes) until he get the data connection back on.

Does this help for tracking down? Please let me know, if I can do anything else to help fixing this! :)

Once again: thanks for your great work! :good:
[TouchPad Development] DJRobNM:
It's pretty amazing if you ask me. The 03/09 version I installed on a buddy's TP seems to have occasional wifi issues but my 04/15 has none.

The only issue I continue to have is occasional dropout of Bluetooth while streaming music.

I thought it was a wifi issue, but it seems to occur when something else is being done on the TP (opening another program, turning up the volume, changing track).

When I just let a playlist play and the screen goes dark there are almost no dropouts.

I've found that opening the Bluetooth page (which scans for other devices) makes the dropouts absolutely bonkers.

I'm going to update to 04/30 and see if that fixes anything.

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
TP4G not so useful update: brand new (second brand new) AT&T SIM results in "No Service" with a "Data service is blocked" message.

Was able to successfully get a data connection for about a minute using the better half's Straight Talk/AT&T SIM, before the tablet rebooted. :|

* Further update: was also able to put all of these SIMs into my Galaxy Nexus, and get a functional signal. Only functional signal on the TP4G was with the Straight Talk SIM, but it crashed after a very short time period.

Will a log of some kind be helpful?

"the MM Delta Gapps from here: http://xdaforums.com/andr...107-1-t2997368"

Nevermind, this worked.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Glad you figured it out. Like I have said before, most if not all Gapps except the Delta Gapps won't work with TouchPad Toolbox v.42. The people that build these other Gapps.zips leave out a necessary file that TPTB checks for and that is why the install fails. Once you get Evervolv MM installed, you can always do a factory data reset from recovery and then use recovery to flash the Gapps you want. You really need to do the factory data reset so that you don't get apps from one Gapps causing issues with apps from another Gapps. Same thing goes for TWRP. Use the one I recommended in my post #897 and once everything is installed, you can flash the latest, 3.0.2.0. via recovery.

[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION], I was able to accomplish the TWRP customizations with the splash screen. My biggest problem was with the cpio command to create the ramdisk archive. The files don't sort exactly like yours. My system's 'find' puts the underscore in a different sort order. I don't believe this is an issue, but its different than yours. This allowed me to place the entire TWRP Materialized theme with custom splash screen in the uImage.TWRP file.

1.) put ramdisk files in cpio folder

2.) change directory to cpio folder

3.) find . -depth -print | sort -d | cpio -H newc -o > ../CWM\ tenderloin\ Ramdisk.cpio

4.) cd ..

5.) python uImage.py -c -A arm -T ramdisk -C none -n CWM\ tenderloin\ Ramdisk -d CWM\ tenderloin\ Ramdisk.gz CWM\ tenderloin\ Ramdisk.uImage

6.) python uImage.py -c -A arm -T multi -C none -n CWM\ tenderloin\ Multiboot -d Linux-3.4.110-tenderloin+.uImage:CWM\ tenderloin\ Ramdisk.uImage uImage.TWRP

Thanks for the new test release, Flintman. Just installed the 5/13 version via the Evervolv.com imbedded updater without any issue so far. That worked slick and took about 25-30 minutes, including a nandroid backup before flash. Did not install Open Gapps, but rather allowed the previously loaded Gapps kits to be picked up and used. The WiFi network auto connects and holds the link. I'll begin the regular testing today and post findings as uncovered.

Again, thanks for the updated release.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:

[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
I must have had a bad flash of 5/13, since it wouldn't install, so I re-installed the prior version. Seeing GlobalTraveler had no issues I will delete the bad one, redownload and try again.
[TouchPad Development] heavyt:
Can you tell me where is this Evervolv.com imbedded updater? Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Under Settings, called Updates, grouped with the Toolbox and Themes. It was under Nightlies.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Sure, go into settings, scroll down a line or two and look for updates on the right side. It's built into the ROM. Once it starts, select the testing tab and refresh the list. Select the ROM you want to down load and click the downward arrow in the top right corner. The ROM image will be downloaded into the directory EVUpdates/TESTING. After the download completes the updater automatically verifies the hash checksum to be sure the image is complete and accurate. Then you have a choice when to flash it by manually selecting the newly downloaded image and clicking the lightening bolt in the top right corner. This will start the largely automatic process by asking you what optional action to take (volumes to wipe, backup current storage, which recovery to use (TWRP or several others) etc). Last, click the reboot button in the bottom right corner.

After that it takes over by rebooting into the selected recovery and feeds it a script to run the nandroid backup, wipe the selected volumes, flash the new ROM, and reboot back into the newly installed OS. Give it some time to finish setting itself up and finding everything (5-10 minutes after the reboot). You might be able to optionally select a new version of open gapps to be flashed at the same time, but I don't, as the old gapps are discovered just like your already installed favorite apps and personal settings. I guess this would be called a dirty install, so if the old version is working fine, the new flash will also work fine. If you are having problems in the old image, you might want to go the manual, wipe everything and clean flash method.

This procedure worked for me on two TP devices for the last several releases, both nightly and testing. Just be sure to take backups before or along the way.

Edit: BTW, I'm using TWRP 3.0.2
