Used to have CM11 on with WebOS.

Did full wipe using TPTB (jcsullins) and increased cache to 1MB.

Installed Evervolv MM via TWRP 3 (recommended version from start of thread) and flashed recommended gapps via opengapps.

...nothing unusual about that. Don't know why it's misbehaving so. All other ROMs I've ever put on it have been more or less okay. It's had CM7, CM9 and CM11, jcsullins MM, Ubuntu Touch, all sorts.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Did you increase /system volume to at least 1GB? That's mandatory,even with the Pico version of open Gapps. More if you want to load a larger version of Gapps.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Before you give up, I have suggested to others to try what I did in post #897. I know, it's a pain starting over, but until you try this, you are not assured that some little remnant is left over from an old install that is causing you problems. Several have posted that a complete, clean install using TPTB is the way to go. That means "Complete Data Reset", "Install Android" using the files I did and see what happens. Don't forget to increase the /system volume to 1GB when asked if you want to make any adjustments. And you can always change to whatever recovery you want afterwards.

NT
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
Sorry should have been clearer. I meant 1GB, for cache (typo)!!

I did do a full TPTB wipe reset uninstall WebOs and start again when I put Evervolv MM on.

I'll have a look at post 897 though. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I do hope you mean 1 gigabyte of memory for the /system volume, not the /cache volume. You are really wasting a lot of memory by increasing /cache to one gigabyte, it's really not necessary. Touchpad toolbox sets it at 200 megabytes and I've never had a problem with not having enough /cache memory.

The reason I asked what method do you used to install Marshmallow, is you said in your post previously that you installed it via TWRP 3.0.

NT
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
Yes, that's what I mean. 1GB system and 200MB cache. Trying to do this from memory...and failing...apologies!

So you're saying to put the MM EV zip in the ttinstall folder instead? Rather than flash the zip with twrp 3 (the recommended one)?

Would this explain why flashing the MM EV zip was very very slow? Much slower than any ROM I've ever installed. Could there be a permissions issue?

Also,none of this explains why EV 4.4.4 works like a charm on my TP????
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
First things first. Before trying any of what I have suggested below, make a Nandroid backup of your current installation and save a copy on your PC.

Now, I'm saying use TPTB to do a "Complete Data Reset". This obliterates everything. Completely resets the memory, and starts you out fresh. When prompted, copy the Evervolv MM Rom you want to install(either the latest testing or nightly), the MM Delta Gapps from here: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368, and this recovery, update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612b from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=14847 to the ttinstall folder. When asked, increase /system to 1gb and finish the installation. Once the installation is done, boot up MM and see how it behaves now. I would suggest you get it set up and play with it for a couple of days before you start installing your favorite apps, especially if you plan to install a different Gapps. You can also flash TWRP 3.0 if you wish. Now, as to the Gapps you would prefer to use. If Delta Gapps does not do it for you, you have two options. Install any additional Google apps you want from the Play Store or flash a different Gapps zip. The best way to install a different Gapps is do a factory data reset from recovery and flash the Gapps zip you want. Now you can start installing all your favorite apps and setting up your TP the way you want it.

So you ask why do I have to use the different recovery and Gapps files? Because TPTB v.42 does not like most other recovery versions and most Gapps developers leave out a file that TPTB looks for to have a successful installation. The good thing is, once you have Evervolv MM installed, any new Rom updates can be installed through recovery. And don't forget to make a Nandroid backup once you get your new installation configured the way you want it. Save a copy of the backup on your PC for safe keeping. And like I have said previously, I have installed Evervolv MM enough this way, I know it works. Hope that clears it up.

NT
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
Thanks NT, very clear instructions and background info. I will do this soon.

I won't need to repartition the TP though, as the system is already 1024MB.

EDIT:: I did need to repartition again upon re-install. I thought it would be presistent, but I guess the Full Wipe in TPTB repartitions the drives.

I originally used twrp 3 from the start of this thread:

..is this not correct? You are suggesting I use this instead:

...because of the reasons where a file is left out that the TPTB needs to work. Maybe this is why flashing was very very slow, with almost no progress showing on progress meter (even unreliable "computer time" progress!) << JOKE.

Anyway, I'll try your suggestion and then use the device or a few days first.

Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
So, its installed from fresh and just minimum gapps and xda, es etc installed. Seems to be working okay. A couple of odd pauses as the device settles in, especially when I put Google Now Launcher on, but overall working well so far. ? Thanks NT.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Yes, you should give it time to settle in and even a couple of reboots later you should see the difference. Remember, this version is 100% ART now, no switching back and forth with Dalvic anymore. I think ART is the reason it takes the install time to settle down. Glad you figured out the install. The only reason you need to use the Sullin's version of TWRP is it is the only one I found that TPTB seemed to like. You can go ahead and flash TWRP 3.0 now if you want. Keep us apprised of your progress.

Are the blue vertical lines during screen initialisation at boot up normal behaviour?

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

I imagine this will require a complete reset, and wipe, just so you know. The system partition is modified, and to unmodify is not something that can be achieved in a straightforward manner whilst keeping all data.
[TouchPad Development] SithBoxer:
There is no need to unroot. Follow these instructions and you should be good to go:

1. First grab Xposed (xposed-v81-sdk23-arm.zip if you are using this device/ROM) from here: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/

2. Transfer zip to your Touchpad, reboot into custom recovery and install the zip.

3. First boot after install might take a little while, but once booted up, install the app (XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

4. Reboot after running the app at least once.

5. Lastly, install this module from the Xposed app: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak2

You should then be able to hide root from those specific apps.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I have seen them before on my TP. It seems to depend on which Rom you have installed. Some do it, some don't.

This would be a good question for Flintman to answer.

NT
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
My understanding is that you will get bootloop installing xposed on the tp with the 6.0.1 rom. I tried it and failed before.

Have you really tried it yourself and worked? Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
I get them on every boot, and whenever (it seems to me) the display resolution is refreshed / rescalled.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Wish I had an answer for you. :( Hopefully Flintman will see this and chime in. If I remember correctly, it happens right after leaving Moboot and before the boot animation starts.

[TouchPad Development] Hikikomorikruge:
I just tested and xposed does indeed cause a bootloop.

Is it possible to get microG working on touchpad? Freeing up even more resources should be useful.
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:

[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
So, reinstalled it all again as per the precise instructions...not using twrp 3...did full clean wipe with tptb etc. and I am still getting odd freezes, hangs etc sometimes need a force reboot! Launcher 3 is the only launcher that works with any degree of reliability. Nova and GNL are largely unusable. Glad I made a backup as I feel I need to return to KK rather than MM.
[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
although it's been quite a long time since i have installed a build, i always solved that by turning off Google Now detection completely. (if you watch the device logs, Google Now detection still keeps the mic open constantly) Might help?
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Can't say you have not given it the old college try. ;) [MENTION=4301044]EricBlade[/MENTION] is correct about Google Now. Before giving up completely, you should disable or turn off Google Now. Actually, it's the "OK Google" detection that has caused issues.

Are you talking about the option to turn off Superuser Access? Already tried that. The app still detects that my device is rooted.
[TouchPad Development] Hikikomorikruge:
I have been unsuccessful at getting signature spoofing working on Touchpad. I was hoping test the impact switching to microG would have on Touchpad.

flintman would it be possible to add signature spoofing to the rom? The microG topic links this and this as patches needed to enable signature spoofing.

I believe if you go to settings, developer options, root access, and select disabled is what he means.

Hmm. I don't have anything called 'root access' under developer options. I only found what he said in Settings, Toolbox, Superuser.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
If you download the SuperSU app from Playstore, it has a "Full UnRoot " in settings. It clears root. It may work for what you need.

[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
Are you using "open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160328.zip"?

Try the MM Delta Gapps from here: http://xdaforums.com/andr...107-1-t2997368, and this recovery, update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612b from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=14847, do a full clean wipe with TPTB and copy the above files with the ROM to the ttinstall folder.

See post #987 for more details.

[MENTION=4197654]exProphecy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6098223]Globaltraveler5565[/MENTION], if you get weird flashing on first boot when you press the HOME button, just reboot and it goes away. It's a work in progress! ;)

AT&T speed upgrade

I've had an interesting day. Sometime this morning both tablets started dropping the WiFi link and would not reconnect; even a manual reconnect would only stay up for a few minutes. I was just about to throw a hissy-fit on AT&T when I received an email from them telling me they had granted me a free upgrade of speed to "elite" status (whatever that is). I've previously been seeing speeds of 3mbs down and 750kbs up as normal operation.

So I checked the Internet speed on my monster pc and found it was still the old speed. Rebooting the router for two minutes of cold outage stabilized the speed at 7.5mbs down and 1.3mbs up. Looks like they approximately doubled my apparent usable speeds. And now the tablets are connecting and staying on for longer time (no dropouts at all over last four hours).

Advice: if you are frequently losing WiFi connectivity, try resetting the router to a complete cold start, and let it settle into the network for a few minutes before restarting your TP device. Who knows, it might even work. ?

BTW, I've set the router to use channel 6. I've tried each/all the other channels without much success. The link gets dropped often on everything but the middle of the range. If you have the router set to auto channel set, you might see it opt to channel 11 all the time. Try forcing it to channel 6 and see if it improves anything. You will need the admin password to make changes like this. Good luck.

Just to report that I have some WiFi disconnection .... Don't know if it's due to my provider or the last ROM version

[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
Mine soemtimes drops wifi...and if i force find its there and working okay. Other than that on Smartmax and fiops its working quite well, as long as i stick with launcher3 and avoid google voice search (which causes me huge issues).

Also dont like this AOSP keyboard. It doesnt seem to autocorrect even though all the options are on, ans word suggestions is also broken. Youll notice a distinct lack of apostrophes and so forth in this post because im lazy and autocorrect / suggestions arent working.
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Does anybody else also have trouble streaming HD1080 video onto TP with this ROM?

I seem to remember I could use the TP just fine with apps like Kodi, Plex and DSvideo to play files from my Synology NAS.

Now I have mostly a green/stuttering/blocky screen while the audio plays good. It's not pauzing or buffering, just 'hulkish' with a lot of blocks/artifacts and not watchable at all.

Sometimes it works shortly after a fresh install or complete shutdown-restart. MXplayer with or without hardware codecs (1.7.4 or 1.8) doesn't help either and before I could throw virtually everything at it.

Maybe somebody can shed a light onto this and/or point me I the right direction and maybe knows if it is ROM related or just my settings.
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
I'll test this and let you know. If you don't hear from me, it's working fine and I have no suggestions other than fresh install as per post #987.

Yes, I have similar experiences. It might need some video heap size optimization in the ROM.

Do you realize that streaming 1080P video on a screen the size of the TouchPad is really a waste of bandwidth? Where you really need 1080P is on a 55 inch screen and larger. Even 720P on a 55 inch screen looks really good.

Nope, I only have B and G on the router provided by AT&T. I've thought about buying a private N or AC router that would be hard wired back to the AT&T device. Any suggestions for a reliable gear?
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
I'd just get anything N that has good ddwrt support and go from there.

Check out the ddwrt router database and then use a popular auction site! ;)
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
The speed that data moves at(802.11a,b,g,n,a/c) has nothing to do with the frequency on which it moves, either 2.4ghz or 5ghz. The 2.4ghz spectrum is becoming extremely crowded. We are fortunate enough to own a tablet that can take advantage of either band if one owns a wireless router that has both. And I did say "If your router has a 5ghz radio".

Don't waste your money on a router that supports the a/c standard unless you already own or plan to own a WiFi device that uses a/c. You are going to be spending $150+ for a decent a/c router. Beware of $49 a/c routers.

I was suggesting that you switch to the 5ghz side of your router, of course if you owned one. Like I said, it's not crowded in 5ghz land. :)

Screen Flickering

Hey all, I just did a clean install of the 6.0.1-nightly-2016.03.19 build on my touchpad and have had screen flickering issues right from the start. I grabbed relevant logs from dmesg, ksgl-3d0 freaking out here: pastebin.com/CFaC86zv

Not quite sure what triggers this, I don't see a pattern on what apps are affected, however for me, it is quite reliable to trigger this on powering off the screen (as seen in dmesg log). I'll check up on earlier testing releases and see what other versions have the same flickering. Regardless, anyone else seeing this sort of thing?
[TouchPad Development] ZeroZorro:
Yes, i realize, thank you very much for that information. Thing is that i happen to own a '55 inch screen and larger' so i have 1080p files stored on my NAS. Getting 720p files just in case i would like to watch them on my TP would be a real waste of bandwith i think.

I mostly view those on my big screen but sometimes i want to watch on my TP. I don't mind if files need transcoding but even then i have trouble playing/streaming those files.

So maybe i can learn from people that have similair setups and can stream just fine. As stated before, it worked before and if it is possible i would like to get it working.

And if i can narrow down that it is not ROM-related i can leave this thread alone and look elsewehere for a possible solution.
[TouchPad Development] tedrogers61:
Nobody on my street uses 5ghz band either...it's lonely looking on the wifi monitor....all on my own on ch. 36 too! Doesn't cut through walls as well though, so I do still flip to 2.4 now and again.

Quite impressed that the TP uses 5ghz though...

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

I was just mentioning this a few posts ago...just restart, and it should go away. It happened to me on fresh install (every time!). It's a feature! :cowboy::cowboy:

Do you also get blue vertical lines on boot? I expect you do.

Don't install Google Now Launcher, or at least disable Ok Google - it proper borks the ROM. Other than that it feels okay.

...and don't expect BlueTooth to work. Mine is choppy on audio, but sort of working. BT file transfer doesn't work at all.
[TouchPad Development] eKeith:
Had similar WiFi dropout issues and eventually determined I had Roku interference issues as my remote sat next to my touchpad.

If you have a Roku 3 or 4, the remote uses WiFi. It also uses the same band as that used to connect the Roku to your router. If you use the Ethernet connection, it apparently uses the 2.4GHz band. There is no way to manually force a setup on the Roku.

To reduce interference, setup your Roku to connect via the 5GHz band. The remote will then use the 5GHz band and stop unnecessary interference on the 2.4GHz band.

Hope this helps...

I've occasionally seen this related to Firefox when I leave the app. When I use 3C tool to force terminate Firefox, the issue goes away. It doesn't happen regularly or often. I haven't seen it happen with any other apps, so it might be Javascript or java. I'll try to catch the logs when this next shows up.

Please explain what you mean by a clean install. Also, you need to give the installation a few hours to settle down, and probably several reboots and your flickering may go away.

[TouchPad Development] ahelper2:
Sorry, clean install -> I mean a complete data wipe on TPToolbox, then flashed the build (and recovery+gapps, of course). First flickering started on the first run guided setup in Android. I'll keep playing around with it today; already have been rebooting to see if anything changes, no dice yet.

Yup, I've had the blue lines across different ROMs. About the google now launcher, I didn't enable the Ok Google detection in it, seems disabled by default. No issues with it otherwise.

And yeah, BT is a bit lacking, but I don't plan on using it :)
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
If not being able to stream 1080p video on your touchpad is a deal-breaker, then you may have to revert back to an older ROM on which it works. Flintman is the only developer producing an Android 6.0 ROM for the touchpad that I'm aware of. It is highly experimental and not everything is going to work. Flintman does not have as much time as he would like to work on this particular build, so those features that do not work well or not at all may take time before they are working. And because of the experimental nature of this build and the minimal amount of support available for it, they may never work. And remember, this is a five-year-old tablet. We're talking dinosaur in tablet years. :)
