Just an FYI on that. 2 of my 3 that I am running this rom on have experienced orphaned files when checking the file systems in TPtoolbox (AMORE JC!)

One back on a flash to the 7-13 and one on the 7-16 fix last night.

I am doing all three of them simultaneously when a flash comes down the pipe

Getting TPtoolbox on the MoBoot menu is a VERY useful hack if you haven't done so.

The new ES File Explorer has a REAL nice root file explorer addition now that makes things super simple to get the TPtoolbox on the MoBoot menu.

- Get the Version 42 TPtoolbox zip (if you dont have it go to androidfilehost.com and search on JCSullins and then go to his profile and select the Touchpad...it is his only device listed)

- Extract the .bin file from the zip

- Rename the .bin to anything you would like it to appear as on the MoBoot menu and PREpend the file name with uImage.whatever using a CAPITAL I in uImage and remove the .bin from the end

- Use the root file explorer feature of ES File Explorer to mount /boot as Read/Write file system and copy the uImage.whatever file to /boot

You will then see it as an option on the MoBoot menu.

I am now always checking the filesystems with TPtoolbox before and after every flash to chase down file system errors to be sure they are not causing grief.

It doesn't take long and it is well worth flashing the A6 while you are in TPtoolbox (AMORE JC!)

Thanks Flintman.

I AM PHILTHY PHLASHING the 7-18 right now.!

And on the first tablet it Optimized 40 some odd apps and came right up snappy.

NICE!
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Flintman, when you say clear recent apps, you mean us to... Do what? Remove them from the system? Erase some list? Navigate us with a hint, please.

I just flashed 7/18 successfully via the internal updater/TWRP. After the flash, it booted, did some app optimizations (8) and rebooted once more. The rotating Evervolv lights lasted about 12-15 minutes each time and came up proper. Everything seems to be working great, but the camera.

Can you educate us what actions are being done during the Evervolv banner display at the beginning of a boot sequence that takes so long? I have about 70 apps installed, if that helps. Thanks for the great work on this tough old beast.

Update: I had previously converted the cache and data volumes to F2FS format, which I still use today. All other volumes are native ext4 format.
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
Is the F2FS format that much faster/better than EXT4 to warrant a change ?

Thanks, I am just curious.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
NO more of go into the open/recent apps (far right software button at the bottom) and clear all. I’ve noticed that helps
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Anything past the 17th on builds has broken bluetooth. Due to the summer months I have limited time with developing. No time frame on fixing this issue at this time. If you want BT use previous builds until I can get around to fixing.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
That is for the update and all your ongoing support. We'll be patient..
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I haven't noticed any problems related to the f2fs structures. As to speed performance, it depends on your own unique usage pattern. Predominantly sequential reading mix is about the same speed as ext4. Heavy random reading of databases can see an improvement of maybe 15-20% boost. It depends on your personal mix. This file system structure is still experimental and subject to revisions and unexpected results. I wouldn't use it in a production environment at this time, but only in a test situation. Other folks may have a higher/lower tolerance for risk. But for now I'm using f2fs on my tablets to provide field usage results. It's been good for me so far. WARNING: very strong backups is critical and should be off device.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Probably Merge tag 'android-6.0.1_r54' into HEAD
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Nope and got very lucky, an easy fix. Running some test builds now
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
Thanks Mr. Flintman!

We appreciate your efforts more than you can imagine!

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Thanks for that explanation Globaltraveler5565.

I think I will stick with the old ext4 for now.
[TouchPad Development] Scott in Bristol:
Hi all,

I had a build running from not long ago (a date in May?) and it was okay, but I had an alert popup a few days ago via the built-in updater that a new build was available (it was suggesting 2/7 and I didn't want to try the 14/7 version given comments here).

I decided to give it a go with the auto and let it run, but it got stuck in a loop at the first boot, infinitely scrolling the colours on the Evervolv logo (I left it 2+ hours).

I tried going back to TWRP and re-flashing it. No change.

I stuck the 18/7 build onto it tonight and updated to that from TWRP. No change.

I wiped the system within TWRP ("factory reset") and re-flashed the 18/7 build. No change.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

7/18 release daydream to full sleep mode

I've recently noticed the TP going directly from daydream (analog clock) mode directly to full sleep mode when the screen is touched. Logs attached. This doesn't happen every time, just once in a while. Maybe four or five times a day. Pressing home button or power button wakes the TP as expected. I haven't seen any obvious correlation of prior events when this occurs.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth seems to not be working in the latest version as of 07/18/16
[TouchPad Development] Moody66:
Geesh dude. He just answered that. Reading is fundamental.
[TouchPad Development] TheZztalk:
where? I didn't see anything, no need to be rude.
[TouchPad Development] charleypick:
He wasn't rude. You didn't read just a handful of posts before yours Flintman said BT is not working on builds after a specific date. FM has done tremendous work for the Touchpad. We need to take efforts to figure out some of the details ourselves, and yes read through mounds of posts here. He spends long nights after school / work digging through code for us. Now go back one whole page and read his post.
[TouchPad Development] ivanich:
Actualy there is a simple fix for bt and Flintman should consider apply it from my github.

REMOVE_EAGER_THREADS wasn't added to evervolv BT repo so no need to make it false. I am going to work on bring up that repo from caf so ill probably have to add that after. Thanks for pointing out.

Looks like Bluetooth is working in the 7/20 version.

Thanks Flintman

7/20 release and Bluetooth

After flashing 7/20 via internal updater/TWRP the TP rebooted, optimized 4 apps, rebooted a second time, ran for 10 minutes and rebooted spontaneously a third time. Seemed normal after that. Sorry Flintman, I forgot to flush the recent app usage list before flashing. I'll be sure next time.

Bluetooth connects to my AYL SoundFit speaker. However, the continuous music play (via Pandora) is choppy, with playback gaps of about one second occasionally. This effect is more pronounced in duration and frequency when doing something on the network (reading email, checking weather, stock market, etc). I have a top cpu speed set at 1.512Ghz with fiops and SmartMax performance.

Otherwise, this release is very good. Thanks, Flintman!

Update: unable to hold a pairing with my Windows Phone 8 device. It shows connected, then after a few seconds it goes to disconnected. The pairing showed the correct random number and held the link long enough to put the device in the successfully paired device list. It doesn't attempt to reconnect unless I force it to retry. I've rebooted both devices with same results. Should this be possible? Or are they fighting over who is master/slave?
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
On this 7/20 ROM the FIOPS, SmartMax and max 1782 MhZ are all already 'selected' in my experience. Great ROM and a huge step forward again [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] !
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I don't see that as the case on my devices. After each new flash I must manually go into setting/tools/performance and re-select what I want. By default it comes with bfq, interactive and 1.512. these are easy to update and only takes a few seconds. Just be sure to check the button in the lower right corner to reapply the settings on boot.

I also saw a general tab there with one choice, but I don't know what this does or whether I really want it.
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Ive been staying on 7/17 while the bluetooth issues got sorted out. Those on 7/20, have you noticed other enhancements or improvements?
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
So far both my Jabra headset and HP keyboard are connecting just fine on this 7/20

Also a new function 'Do not disturb' in pull down menu. Nice and needed....
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
I am seeing WAY less constipated response times on application launches and graphic wipes on this 7-20. My tablets have all been staying on Smartmax and FIOPS.

AMORE FLINTMON!

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

7-20 Seems to run Firefox WAY WAY better. The response to the keyboard in this XDA post box is hardcore NIGHT AND DAY. Humongiloid Maximus!

Load times on these XDA pages was powersuckwad previous to this 7-20

I am still flabbergasted as to the actual REALTIME response in this quick reply post box to my typing.

NIGHT AND DAY to ANY other Touchpad rom i have used Firefox on.

Thanks a lot Flintmon! Kud0s!

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Trying a post on the 7-18 now and the textbox for quick post is lag0rific. Dropping characters if I try anything much better than slow typing, so i'm not imagining it.

Night and day
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
^^^ LOL, ok, you sold me (and I decided to quit being lazy and see for myself). I still went ahead and did a full wipe before flashing... hopefully it works better (or at least as well) as 7/17, which was working really well... btw, just to see if it makes a difference, I did clear all apps before wipes and install.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
7/20 spontaneous reboot

I just caught the TP do a spontaneous reboot at 10:32 pm this evening. See attached log report. Right before the reboot I was trying to launch have an app (myfitnesspal) and it didn't start right away. So I clicked the app again and noticed a lingering touch circle on the app icon for several seconds, then the reboot. It was like the system was doing something really intensive.

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57903a8f53b68/2016-07-20_22.50.zip
[TouchPad Development] Steelskinz:
Great ROM as usual. Thanks again Flintman ! :)
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
I flashed (clean) 7/20 onto my TouchPad. After a few initial blips (seems the last few build acted funny... takesa while before the touch screen lets you proceed to choose your wifi network, also it acts weird when you choose not to automatically copy another devices apps but instead manually download your apps... I always choose this option, and the last few builds it seems to not allow you to do this, giving you an error but when you choose skip, it goes ahead and downloads and updates your apps from Play Store. Weird, but it works so no biggie).

Once completed, the Touchpad seemed a little "laggy" but everything was working, so I swithed kernel settings (to fiops and smartmax) and let it sit overnight and recharged it this AM. And overnight, someone must have broke into my office and switched out my Touchpad with a newer technology tablet, because OMG is the thing fasterand smoother than its ever been. I thought 7/17 was smooth. XDA is significantly faster. US Browser is significantly smoother and faster. Google+ is smoother and faster. [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION]... what magic or witchcraft did you cast a spell on this dinosaur device?

Anyone who hasn't updated to 7/20... do it. NOW. Thanks Flintman and the entire Evervolv team.
[TouchPad Development] MikeFRG:
Nomad u made day :) ....

iam om 7/17 and it its realy smooth since ever, but now iam courius to find out, if i put 7/20 on it, the same thief that this marvelous thing did with Nomad's, come 2 me........

Thanks Flint!!!
[TouchPad Development] Raverrevolution:
Ok, now I can't wait to go home and update as well. I REALLLLLLY realllly LOVE this dev community. I cannot believe we have a great working Android 6.0 on our Touchpad dinosaur. Godsend!! Thank you Flintman so much!! Genius!!
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Someone asked me a bit ago about what the battery drain is like when off, after you hold power + press home 20 times to trigger the "everything off" state I was talking about a bit ago..

I just powered up my Evervolv 6 TouchPad (with the first working 4G data build, whichever one that was) ... after not having had it on since May 18th. It reports 93%.

Hey Flintman, is there any possibility that you might be interested in taking a brief glance at seeing if you can make the zRam option in Performance work without randomly crashing?
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
W0W man you want MORE?

YOU ARE ONE GR33DY HAX0R PHIELTH AREN'T YOU MISTER BLADE SIR.......

8o

All i can say is this has pretty much stepped into what can only be described as "Buttery" territory with that last 7-20 flash.

Asking for more is just.....well.....lacking class? (Oh my Lord PLEASE understand that I'm joking here heh)

8)

Ok i win asshat of the thread!?!?

P.S. This tablet is running 6 pretty much as nicely as my Verizon S5 which is surprisingly a decent stock rom.

The phone being a quad core 2500 mhz next to a dual core 1800 mhz, obviously the benchmark results fall short of the phone's, but as far as usability / smooth operation they feel very similar, especially with being able to post on XDA with the tablet now. Typing works SO much better now on an XDA post box in Firefox on the 7-20 flash.

Nice effing work people. Sup00rd00per nice.

Can i say "Schwing!"?

It is positively nothing less than "Schwing" now since the 7-20

Major league non-constipated execution now

Running Smartmax / FIOPS and 192/1782 min/max

WHERE IS THE ADRENO 220 OVERCLOCK!?!

Chip can't take it huh?

Heh. Honestly knowing what I know, having started computing in 1976 and the internet in 1989 on a SLIP (serial line IP) modem connection and the arpanet previous to that on SUNY/AB dial in shell and Compuserve, I CANNOT EVEN BELIEVE ANY OF THIS **** WORKS ANYWAYS!)

Much love devs. Thanks so much.

Kudos!

So i just fired up KODI and loaded a 1080p using Exodus and that was almost a guarenteed crash previously but the stream was flawless.

Tablet got quite lagged, but it worked.

And the user interface on it scrolling through tiles of images to select stream is now usable fast enough to be real. Transport controls in KODI weren't working but "goink" it's KODI heh.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I only brought that up because I figured the zram thing was a kernel issue that wasn't really device specific, but it hasn't been fixed in like the year i've been turning it on and off to see if it ever gets fixed. :P

I just got the Jul20 build booted up..

Other than it reporting that my SIM is blocked for data and voice, and reporting no signal, it seems to be running great. I'll definitely have to start messing with it again.

Seems like Mic gain is really off - I have to be about 4 inches from the tablet when speaking at a normal voice, for apps to hear me. Also, after testing that once, the mic stopped working until restart. Seems like the mic problem is same as it has been for a long time -- trigger it, it'll work sometimes, but other times it'll muck up sound completely, and then you have to reboot.

Pinball Arcade runs phenomenally on it, after turning off their mipmapping option. YAY!!!!!!!!!!

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Clarify if you would please, again. You are using the word "off" when I think you mean asleep. If I remember our discussion previously, you stated that when you do the hold power + press home 20 times, this puts your TP into a lowest power usage sleep state. Or did I misunderstand you and prior to turning your TP off, you do the power + press home 20 times? Flintman and others have been reporting that this Rom has been achieving -2mA battery drain just by putting their TP to sleep and that is with a 3.4 kernel which has not always been known for it's good battery drain performance while the TP is asleep. The Evervolv Lollipop Rom only gets -26mA battery drain with the 3.4 kernel.

Thanks, NT
[TouchPad Development] WildKun:
Does KSM setting under performance have any positive/negative influence ?
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
While there were a bunch of people talking about sleep state, I (and someone else I was talking to) was talking about the various combinations of button presses that do things in hardware.

Power + Home 20 x is supposed to (according to hardware documentation) be a lower power drain mode than selecting "Power off" from the menu. Useful for forcing a reboot when nothing else seems to work, and for long-term storage. The doc I read referred to it as "disconnecting the battery".
[TouchPad Development] ankorez:
thanks guy it's worked !
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
Is anyone else having stability issues when using a pop up video player (e.g., BS player and chrome at the same time)? Basically the player either randomly closes with no errors (as if the OS is instantly killing it at random times), or the tablet reboots.

I mainly like to run BS player and chrome at the same time in order to catch up on various shows while browsing the web.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Only problem so far is very slow charging, if charging at all.

Of course this does not have to be ROM related, I experienced the same occasionally before.

Now it took one night to charge from 10 to 78 percent.

Mostly when put on the TP-charger screen is dimming (with clock) but not charging. Also BMW says connected to AC but Discharging, mAflow -193mA

The same with several USB-chargers. Can anyone shed a light on this? Flashing A6-firmware didn't help for now
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Did you use the original barrel charger from HP for both the Touchstone or USB charging?

If not, the TP will not draw full charge current due to the missing resistor network between the USB supply and the data lines, which all other than HPs original chargers do not have.

If yes, try another USB cable with thicker copper lines (AWG22 or similar, but always WITH data lines in it, not only supply lines!). If it's not better with that, your battery may have reached end of it' life. Normally this ends also in blowing up the battery and you may notice a black spot on the display, where the blowing up battery is pressing the display from inside onto the digitizer glass.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Yes, using original HP charger/ USB-cable and the wire of the Touchstone is not removable. BMW says battery is healthy, does that mean anything?

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Will wait to full charge and see how much it lasts....
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Hmm... let's focus on USB charging first. Under all normal circumstances the battery should be getting completely full within 4-5 hours from <10% to 100%. Everything else means, there is a failure.

Do you have a USB monitor at your hands to track the real drawn power from the USB charger?

Like this one: DROK-Multimeter-Amperemeter-Voltmeter

Another question: do you use the same barrel charger for USB charging and Touchstone charging? Maybe the charger is the problem... If TP is down below 50% of charge, it should draw 1.7 - 1.9 amps from the charger @ ~5volts. If the voltage drops because of an erroneous charger, the TP cannot get enough current and thus cannot charge at the normal speed.
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
Is anyone else able to get the F2FS working?

When ever I try to install android and gapps, it complains about there not being enough space on the system partition. I have it set to 3GB,but whenever I install the android ROM, it resizes the partition to 787MB, thus I am unable to install gapps. How do I get it to install android without shrinking the partition?

Edit: I think I got it working, have to do the resize partition option, the restart the device.

Sadly, this doesn't help too much since I can't get past the initial setup, After connecting to WiFi and selecting that I do not want to transfer data from another device, the gapps basically crashes, taking me back to the WiFi page.
