There is a nifty YouTube video that shows how to (and how not to) disassemble the Touchpad. It is fraught with many dangers where you can severely damage the unit. A special tool is needed to slip into a very thin seam to release the plastic snaps and a special two-sided tape is need to put it back together.

WARNING: Be extremely careful! This operation is not recommended for the faint of heart or shattered nerves. Patience is a virtue. Go slow and don't force anything.

Good luck! Let us know how it comes out. As these units get older, we will also likely be faced with our own repairs somewhere down the road. [emoji4]

[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
FYI people. I just wanted to let you know that a bunch of pages back I did mention that I had some orphaned files when I did a disk check with touchpad toolbox version 4.2. I speculated that it was just the one tablet possibly experiencing a failing flash module.

However that seems not to be the case as I have experienced the orphan files now on all three of the tablets that I run this ROM on. i do dirty flashes everytime and I wipe cache and Dalvik cache using the Evervolv update tool to dl and reboot to TWRP

Previously I had been checking every time between flashes to look for orphaned files but I had found none for quite some time.

After the August 22nd flash I decided to check one and saw orphaned files and I checked the other two and they also had orphaned files. They wind up in the data partition.

Sometimes after I do the touchpad toolbox file system check and then reboot you'll see applications updating on start up again

One of them did this the other two didn't update any files when booting back to Android after the TPTB fsck.

So for what it's worth I figured i'd mention it.

KSFO AM 520 streaming app seems to crash now also since 8-22

Other than those issues the ROM is a winner as a daily driver

Going to try VPN now and see how that goes...haven't had a login password or pattern yet so we will see how that goes since you have to have it fot VPN

Our Last ev_Marshmallow?

It looks like development's shifting to the 7.0 branch, so unless there's a specific flaw(s) which can be addressed, we're going to have to savor every last bite of the 8-22 Evervolv Marshmallow. (Either that or we need to develop a consensus on which of the previous nightlies we should run with)

Before people start going bonkers and demanding their Nougats, they should consider that we had about 5 months of "testing" versions of ev_6.0x, followed by a few months of "nightly" polishings to get our palette-pleasing tenderloin Marshmallow.

Amazing work by Flintman and the Evervolv team, considering my oldest HP TouchPad is coming up on its 5th birthday. Wow!

Great work, guys!
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
When you generically say "development" in this post you are meaning that GOOGLE'S dev on Marshmallow is now considered to be at stable release at 6.0.1, thus all the projects....like EV....CM and the like have also moved onto the 7 branch I gather? Thanks.

Fabulous rom. Thanks so much devs. Kudos Flint.....really decent work.
[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
As far as I'd take how it was said, the EV devs are moving forward to N since the new api and changes will make the indestructible HPTP faster than plenty of new released tablets. I truly hope I understood/inferred correctly. I enjoy this device more than any others I've had including my current other LVM based Oppo Find 7.

HPTP Forever!!

Devices born running Android are just too monotonous and plain.

Hey, if you want to stress memory management, you gotta hit it with lots of graphics or a bunch of video. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Yes. UC Browser renders the site incorrectly. It appears as 3 dozen tiny photos along the left edge of the screen and a dozen larger photos across the top of the page with the rest being whitespace. It had issues with the gifs in Reddit too.

Eventually, UC goes into a stall mode, locking the browser and UI. If I'm lucky, the process gets killed and the system recovers until next time. If not, it's time for a death grip reboot. All of which makes me suspect the memory leak goes beyond Dolphin...

I installed Evervolv for the first time a few months ago and loved it.. Although lately, it seems with every build I install, the TP becomes extremely sluggish. Immediately after installing, it'll do the unlock screen reboot for a while and stable out after that.. But performance is nothing like it used to be on this rom. Is anyone else noticing this? Did I do something wrong? I don't understand how performance took such a huge hit and it isn't really being discussed unless this is something specific to me.

[TouchPad Development] TaylorV:
Unfortunately, it doesn't fly for me :( I've let builds sit for a couple days and the sluggishness still remains.

Dont forget the KSM (kernel samepage merging.......swipe left when on performance page in the EV toolbox off settings. KSM ON.

Also, your performance trouble MIGHT be related to filesystem errors in the form of orphaned files

Run the Check Android Volumes in the touchpad toolbox version 42
[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
Excellent idea on the quick fschk which I'll be doing in a second. Does anyone else have wifi issues with latest MM builds where it loses connection then when told to connect it just eternally tries to to obtain ip address until wifi module is restarted? I've had the issue since KK and currently set to using legacy dhcp client so I'm wondering if it's just low end hardware available in the Philippines or if it's something I can fix in settings or update to the build from the 22nd.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Thanks lippy, I am not sure I have ever dealt with KSM nor orphaned Android files. Could you help me understand with a bit more info and also the steps to resolve? With KSM you simply turn on? With orphaned files does the tool identify and automatically remove? Thanks in advance!
[TouchPad Development] w1ll1m:
I agree. There are a few who don't run gapps, like me, who wouldn't mind testing this
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
- Boot Touchpad Toolbox v4.2

- Scroll to Repair Android Volumes

Orphaned files will be found and fixed automatically. If orphaned files or any other filesystem errors are found run the Repair Android Volumes again

- Go to settings

- Go to Toolbox (evervolv toolbox)

- Select Performance

- Check that SMARTMAX / FIOPS is chosen

- Single finger touch / hold / and swipe finger to your left

- Turn the switch for KSM (kernel samepage merging) ON

[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
You running f2fs? If you aren't I'd have to say you have some unknown trouble there.

Unfortunately, TPTB doea NOT support f2fs. So you need to use the TWRP recovery software to check your file systems if they are f2fs vs linux ext
[TouchPad Development] scififan2715:
Yup, that seems to be it, thank you! TWRP worked fine, it either didn't detect any problems to repair, or fixed them without telling me :p

CCleaner video artifacts on 8/22 build

Anyone else here use the app CCleaner?

It only runs in Portrait mode (like Speedtest from OOKLA).

When I upgraded to the 8/22 Evervolv build, there are some nasty video artifacts now.

I don't see it on Speedtest, but the latest CCleaner seems to be pretty bad.

I did notice the latest log for 8/22 says:

[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Big drawback for using F2FS

On the advice of Flintman, I went to change the /system volume size and found the TPtoolbox does not like f2fs (as noted recently again by others). But this goes beyond. The toolbox checks all volumes for size, format, etc and prepares a table for adjustment of sizes. However, because f2fs is not recognized or supported, it fails badly and throws you back a level or two. It will Not let you adjust just those volumes it does recognize. Thus, totally blocked.

I had to reformat cache and data to EXT4, then resize /system, reboot (as-is or flash OS again w/gapps in TWRP ), and recover /data contents from backups (or, as in my case, just treat this exercise as a full clean upgrade).

So a word of caution: take good backups and test them for validity regularly. You never know when you'll need them in a bad way!
[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
TPToolbox does some unique things when f2fs is around and if I hadn't bricked this machine for over a year before I'd still be surprised. Somehow after changing data and cache to f2fs through twrp and trying to install a now corrupted EV zip and watching as TPToolbox reformatted everything back to ext4 and with no available OS due to wiping my system/dalvik/cache and my backup showing up nowhere mysteriously, the thing still booted up like nothing ever happened and actually ran better. Terrifying, exciting and perplexing but nothing else could make me love the Touchpad even more.

Overclocking

I've increased the CPU clock to 1620mhz and enabled Kernal samepage merging for both my Touchpads and so far I've had no problems. I do notice the back gets a little warmer but nothing crazy.

I'm wondering if anyone else has overclocked to 1620mhz or higher and had any problems? I'm nervous to go even higher, but has anyone else had success at a certain mhz? I want to push this old tablet to the limit!

Also, fantastic ROM! Excellent work!
[TouchPad Development] viskon:
I'm at the highest (1780MHz?).No issues at all.
[TouchPad Development] w1ll1m:

[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
Awesome! I've raised mine to 1782mhz as well. Do either of you have the Kernel samepage merging under the Performance/General section enabled? Do either of you notice a difference if Kernel samepage merging is on/off?

First off, Thanks to JCSullins, Flintman and RolandDeschain79.

I switched from 4.2.2 (CM6) to 6.01.

Used the following-

ev_tenderloin-6.0.1-nightly-2016.08.22

update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612

gapps-601-base-20160606-1-signed

TPToolbox v42

The following did NOT work for me via TPToolBox-

FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.0.2.0-4-27-16 (Unsupported/Unrecognized)

open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160828 (does not match the ROM or some such thing)

Wiped system clean before I started.

Its looking good.

[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
I so wish JC could rewrite TP toolbox to V43 to include F2FS. Is there any chance that just including Kernel support by swapping out the kernel that Touchpad toolbox uses and the fsck binary to support F2FS? It sure would be nice to reap the performance benefit of F2FS but without being able to boot Touchpad toolbox and run file system checks regularly, going to F2FS seems a non starter to me. Anyways just a thought.

HIGH JC!

And I mean HIGH not Hi!

Lippy,

It's been over a year and a half since TPTBv.42 was released. I seem to remember that at one time Sullins said he intended to update TPTB to add some additional features it did not currently have. I doubt that if he ever does, F2FS compatibility will not be a feature he will add. He still lurks around these forums, I've seen evidence of that, so maybe he will eventually do something. Usually when he does release something, he does so with little or no fanfare, so we will just have to keep our eyes open and hope someone catches it when he does.

Just FYI everyone, I have now noticed with the last 2 or 3 nightlies that the power draw is even LOWER at idle.

Recommendation for which Nightly Version to Use

I would like to take a step back and install this on one of my other TPs.

I installed Nougat on two but am having some minor issues/problems.

Then the last week or so one of the others, running CM12.1/5.1.1, decided to start doing random reboots,

so it's going to get nuked.

I'm leaning towards flashing 6.0 onto it.

Might I get some suggestions on which nightly release to go with?

Thanks Gang, _D.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Read OP #1 in this thread. Note there is an improved TWRP with the same version number (confusing), but the version documented is quite sufficient to get you going.

PS - I've found the new Nougat release to be an improvement over Marshmallow with few issues. Did you document your observations in the Nougat thread for research by Flintman and engineering team?
[TouchPad Development] mlkmade:
Got it working! Updated from 5.0 I believe and fixed many issues I had with that.

Any idea what the best dpi is for marshmallow?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Have you read this thread from beginning to end? I don't believe I have ever seen it discussed. Is there some issue you have with the default dpi?

In fact, I don't believe I have seen it discussed in the last two or three versions of Android. If you think you just have to tinker with it, you should find

apps on the Play Store that will let you adjust the dpi. Just remember, you could break the ability to connect to the Play Store or other apps you already have

installed.

You can change dpi using the Evervolv Toolbox in Settings.

Just got some old Touchpads out to play with. I'm using the 8/22 nightly. Both Touchpads have the same issue... Once they sit for a while with the screen off (charging or not charging) they lose the WiFi connection. It shows connected to the AP but the WiFi signal icon is just an outline. Changing to a different AP doesn't help. The Touchpad must be restarted to work again. I also loaded the 8/20 nightly to see if it made a difference and it does not.

Since it's happening with two devices (and all my various APs) I have to think it's not an issue with my specific Touchpads.

Any experiencing this or have any thoughts?

Thanks!
