I have a 4G Touchpad and willing to test.

Currently I have Moboot 0.3.8, Clockwork Mode Recovery and Cyanogenmod 11-2015013-Snapshot-jcsullins-tenderloin (4.4.4) installed.

Point me to the right direction and I will make the jump to Marshmallow. Very excited to see that this device is still getting this kind of support in 2016!
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
Install TWRP from top, make backup, copy backup to PC, download last build zip, 2.8.3.0 TWRP recovery with MTP support (additionaly for future download 3.0.0.0 TWRP recovery with MTP support and F2FS as well) and gapps (I success only with gapps-601-base-20160120-1-signed.zip from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960689640).

Now you will need TPToolbox-2015-01-08-v42 and Novacom drivers installed on PC.

Do I need to describe it more?
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Julius, do you have any key data files currently on the device you want to keep? Like, music, ebooks, photos, documents, etc. These personal files will Not be preserved by twrp or cwm backups; you must copy them off the /data partition to your pc using an ftp or smb file share protocol before you proceed with the flash operation. Free apps like andftp or andsmb can be configured to do this job. Welcome to the TouchPad testing community.
[TouchPad Development] chris5s:
Or just plug in the USB cable and transfer those files straightaway. The USB cable your gonna use to load TPToolbox and transfer the installation files with, right?

Peace.
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
Last update working great! WiFi auto connection working, Bluetooth hands-free connecting well, now trying xposed.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Chris5s, no. The only partition that Windows understands is the /media partition (fat32). The other partitions are formatted typically as EXT4. There is a newer format, f2fs, we are experimenting with good success so far. So, I haven't been able to mount the /data partition via USB cable. Even though WiFi is slower, and it's the only mechanism I've found to do this type of backup/restore.

I suggest that Julius read all the replies in this thread carefully before starting. There are gems and nuggets of brilliance scattered throughout that will save time in the end.
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
Hi Flintmann,

thanks for your work.

WiFi works great also with autoconnection.

But... Sorry, HW+ decoder don't work.

Here is a log

[TouchPad Development] bmac1191:
Is it normal to have an external_sd partition or should it all be internal storage? I have ~500MB in external_sd. I was on an older version of android before updating. I thought I set the system partition to 1GB before installing the rom but I'm not sure what happened.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Or you can just connect your TP to your PC with the USB cable and copy the files to a save folder.

NT
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
On the TouchPad there is only one bank of memory, all of it. But by convention a small section is partitioned off for /media to act as a temporary storage for new roms while they are being flashed. This partition is mounted on /media directory and called external-sd, even though it is not really external. Other partitions (system, cache, and dalvik) are also carved out of memory and mounted on their respective mount points. The rest of memory is allocated to the /data partition and is usually the largest space. The /data partition can be formatted in several styles, the most common is ext4, but can be made into f2fs, fat32 and other older ext variants.

Flintman can probably provide a better explanation and guidance on changing partition formats. Performance of the different partition styles is the most significant aspect, I imagine. F2FS is showing especially good results.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
That may be the case if you have formatted /data to f2fs. And it may be the case running this Marshmallow build, which I am not. But running CM12.1 or CM11, I can see and transfer files between the /data and /media volumes.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

The external_sd is the /media volume which TouchPad Toolbox requires to install Android.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Just for the record, Mr. Sullin's made it clear in his TouchPad Toolbox thread that the correct name for what we have been calling "partitions" all this time is really "volumes". Note the menu for TPTB, you will see the functions that affect mounting, resizing, repairing and creating all refer to doing so to "volumes". If anyone wants to take issue with that, please do so with Mr. Sullins. ;)

We also might want to clarify the TouchPad has one gigabyte or RAM(random access memory) also called volatile memory and depending on which you own, either 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of eMMC or flash memory which is also sometimes called a SSD. All the volumes are located in the flash memory. Depending on the function of the volume, it may be formatted differently than the others.

Odd problem... all of a sudden, I can't access XDA Premium app. Seems to e a problem with security and access the XDA servers, can't load forums. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling and reinstalling. Able to access it on the PC and other devices. I haven't seen anyone else mention it so it must be my device.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I have been getting server errors while trying to save replies and flash errors while browsing XDA forums too.

Still getting wifi not connecting after deep sleep. Had wifi symbol with question mark. Set to always in wifi/advanced.

http://paste.evervolv.com/view/d528b44a
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Same here with xda app, but the Firefox browser still works fine from the TP.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Flintman, I've noted two additional issues:

- when the device sleeps, the WiFi sometimes disconnects, even though the setting is to always keep the WiFi on. Then, occasionally, when the device is awakened, the WiFi is dead, says it is on but doesn't see any routers. Most times the awakening just quickly reconnects and bobs your uncle. But when the WiFi services don't wake up, and I have to shut down the WiFi and restart it. Then it connects fine. I've turned on the developer WiFi extended logging, but the event hasn't occurred since. I'll post the logs when it happens again.

- I saw the screen go into the no touch condition twice since flashing the 2/21 release. This is a lot less than prior versions, but still happening rarely.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
That log isn't even the 3.4 kernel Thats the 3.0 kernel. please confirm you are running the correct kernel. Since it is last_klog what are you running for a recovery?
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
XDA issue was an XDA server issue... stopped working on other devices including PC immediately after I posted and resolved it self shortly after. Thanks folks!
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
I'm using Philz. It says I'm running the latest build with the 3.4 kernel in about tablet in settings. Here's another afterna wifi drop.

Hey guys ! I have download the last nightly version ( I think ? ) dated of 2016-01-31 and when i try to flash it on the touchpad, the progressbar stopped and i get and Status 7 Eror. Please help me
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Latest version is 2/21/16, found in OP under test builds.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
I don't see it http://evervolv.com/devices/tenderloin
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Guillaume, go into settings -) Updates -) Testing tab -) refresh, select 2/21 release and click download. There has been some problems on the xda servers yesterday and today making for instability. I think you will like the 2/21 release. It fixes many longstanding issues and is more stable. Good luck!
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
The settings of my tablet ?
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
I wanted to mention that I also notice that the back arrow icon disappears when i cue up either my BT keyboard or the Google Keyboard that I use on screen. But...I can still tap on that same space to back out of anything. It seems to be a cosmetic thing...I hope.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Guillaume, I was assuming (perhaps in error) that you had a TP running some older version of Evervolv. So, yes, the settings of the tablet. Swipe downward from the top right corner and click the settings gear. Look for the Updates entry in the list (it should be near the top). If you are running some other os or very old release, there is a slightly different avenue to getting the kit and also flashing it. Have you read the very first entry in this thread? The chief engineer provides some great hints and advice there.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

RFoster, many have seen and reported this cosmetic gaffe related to any of the keyboard incarnations, internal and external. Flintman is investigating this matter. It is likely a simple fix involving lost icons or something.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
No it is not that, my problem is i'm on cyanogenmod and i want to put evervolv rom, but when i flash last version of the nightlies (2016-01-31) i always get an status 7 error
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
On first page you can download last build.

Also it is very important to make clean install.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
The last test build is stable for game ?
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
It runs my limited set of games just fine: 3D Chess, magnetic balls, jewels miner, and spider solitaire. "Your mileage may vary" with other games. I have no experience with interactive group online games to speak of performance over the WiFi.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Pfff i have all tried and I always get the same error ! What can i do ?
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Error 7 is saying the system volume (or partition) is too small. Read the first post in this thread before you begin. /system must be at least 1GB in size. Use the TP Toolbox by jcsullens to resize things.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Flintman, here are the logs for the WiFi stall situation that only appears rarely. Look in the period between 2:20pm and 3:04pm. I was using the device before the period, went away for about 30 minutes and came back to find the WiFi was ON but not seeing any routers. I should have taken a screens hot of that, I but missed my moment. Next time...
[TouchPad Development] scififan2715:
I'm on the 2/16 build. Did a clean flash from aokp kitkat, and converted to f2fs. It was stable for a few days, but now reboots after a few minutes booted into android. It will only happen while using the touchpad, i.e. if the screen is off, it's fine, but within a few minutes of use, it freezes then reboots.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Sci-fi fan, have you tried the latest build from 2/21? I've found it to be stable so far.
[TouchPad Development] scififan2715:
I'll try flashing that tonight. Unrelated, but does anyone ever get vertical blue lines when choosing Android in moboot, or sometimes when plugging in the charger?
[TouchPad Development] JhoonB51:
That's never happened on this end....
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I haven't noticed it, but I'll watch out for this. Thanks for bringing it up to the group.
[TouchPad Development] scififan2715:
It could just be my device, I think it's happened before on another rom (I'm not sure, hadn't used my touchpad for about a year before last week).
[TouchPad Development] gary93:
Tried to flash with JCS toolbox. It failed with the TWRP 3.0, 2.8.3.0 flashed through.
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
Yep, I have on my 2 devices same lines for 1-2 seconds on boot.

Not bothering me at all...
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Get the install done with a recovery that will work with TPTB and then flash the version of TWRP that TPTB did not like.

NT
[TouchPad Development] Johnvgt:
Blue lines.

Yep. I get those everytime I choose android in Moboot. Never on the charger but I only use a touchstone.
[TouchPad Development] scififan2715:
Ok, I just got concerned seeing it while the device was on
[TouchPad Development] jimjack:
Yes, I saw that also. I think it's an interessting effect. ;).
[TouchPad Development] axel_rex:
Effects from 80th on monochrome EGA display! :o
[TouchPad Development] potatohead:
I have a weird problem that is recurring over the past few builds (all clean installs with full wipe prior [except Micro SD and Internal Storage] and only open gapps nano as recommended) - there is no way I can get into the Adavnced Settings under each section of Wireless & networks, the 3-vertical-dots icon at the top right corner just does not respond to touch no matter what (applies to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Data usage). I have confirmed my screen to be working perfectly fine (no touch issue at that particular location / section) and tried the same thing in portrait mode to no avail. Anyone having the same problem?
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Not on mine...
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
What rom are you currently running?
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
I have all reset the touchpad so with tp toolbox i try installing the evervolv rom
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
They both need to be flashed in recovery, the rom and the gapps.
[TouchPad Development] Mathias Schmidt:
Any news on HW+/720p issue?

Any news on the HW+/720p issue yet?
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Sting i have not the recovery ! I need install android with tp toolbox and put recovery rom and gapps files. But when tp toolbox try installing android he says the gapps and rom are not compatible
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
How did you do a reset and what was your touchpad running before the reset?
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
I have do the reset with tp toolbox. Before i was running CM 11
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
Ok, can you get into recovery?
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
When i turn on the touchpad i see Boot, Boot webos revovery , reboot and shutdown
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
What does it boot to, CM 11 still?
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
That boot nothing because i try to install the evervolv rom after do a reset
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
My guess is toolbox doesn't like 6.0 so why don't you try using toolbox to put cm 11 back on then we can try and get you to 6.0.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Ok i go try that
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
If that does work you will NOT use toolbox to get to 6.0.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Ok cm 11 is installing, and in the same time i have resised the system partition to 1000 mb for be sure to put the evolv rom
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
Cool, that's a step in the right direction.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Ok now when i turn on the touchpad i have Boot TWRP, Boot CM, boot webos recovery, reboot and shutdown
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
Perfect. Now you need to download and flash in recovery the new TWRP that is posted in the OP. Than you can flash in recovery the 6.0 rom and the 6.0 gapps.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
The 3.0.0.0 recovery of the main post ?
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
That is correct. You will use that to flash the new rom, NOT toolbox. Flash the new TWRP, than do a wipe in recovery and than flash the new rom and gapps in recovery. DO NOT WIPE YOUR INTERNAL DATA.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Ok but how to put the file from the PC ?
[TouchPad Development] sting5566:
You should be able to transfer them with your cable, just put them on the internal storage.
[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
The touchpad don't appear on my PC :(

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

[TouchPad Development] GuillaumeL71:
Ok that don't work, i go download the recovery from the tablette to put in the internal storagr

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

The following is posted by adstraylight. It has a very good work around for rotation issue on nexus 7 2012 MM. I'm back on 5.1.1 on my TP and cannot try it out yet.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/develo...mallow-pure-aosp-t3226012/page48#post63708180
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
I'll give this a shot and let you all know.

UPDATE: the fix SORT OF works. When using the force auto rotate option, then setting the QS to landscape, the auto rotate is off by 90 degrees no matter which way you position the TP (minus when the camera is on top per the OP in that thread)

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I have just found that for my TP, the STOCK AUTO is cooperating versus the FORCE AUTO setting. Still changing the Quick Settings to landscape is a must. I'm going to reboot and see if the settings stick upon restarting.

UPDATE 2: OK, so after a reboot, the app started up and the rotation functioned after unlocking the TP. These steps helped me:

1. After installing Rotation Lock Adaptive, hit setting for STOCK AUTO

2. Hit setting button and make sure that the load at startup option is set to ON

3. In the Quick Settings on the notification pulldown, make sure that the rotate option is on PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE

Those things worked for me, but I'll keep testing and playing around with it.
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
The workaround keeps unraveling because the QS goes back to Auto Rotate breaking what the app has so nicely set up.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
WIFI works without problems? Has this ROM include root?
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
Yes EV is a rooted ROM whereas PAC-MAN is a ROM where you need to flash SU in recovery to gain root.
[TouchPad Development] Mchasard:
Thanks for this new adventure under marshmallow... I just have some troubles with videos the sound is not in phase with the images... Some latency...
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I restored back to MM. The rotation app is not working on TP. But it works well on nexus 7 2012 MM. Sorry.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Well finally got r26 merged in along sith some other fixes. I want to test this some more and see what has been fixed. If the rotation issue isnt fixed im going to dig into that next to solve that problem as it looks like the prority. 8). I havent run my tp long enought to encounter that issue but i will now 8).
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Try a build.prop editor from the store. This should lock the change in on reboot. Let me know if that works but i have it added to my list to figure a work around.
[TouchPad Development] schwatter:
Please upload the r26 build. We are here for testing :)
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
I'm crossing my fingers the rotation issue can be fixed in this upcoming build. I went back to 5.1.1 for now as my TP is my daily driver and can't get bogged down with usability bugs like the rotation.

But my testing of the M version of the Rom has been nothing short of awesome so far. I'll probably move up to 6.0 when a new build is posted.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Soon. Sorry working my shamu. I cant seem to get Lte. Ever since lollipop code from google has been crazy. The teams i dont think are talking. Hell marshmallow didnt work out of the box with shamu and it should. If not today tomorrow morning ill get another test out 8). I need to run a new build as i changed a few more things
