That is correct, there's no need modifying tptoolbox.cfg in the Rom zip file.

I was able to use HP Toolbox v42 using the following Rom, Gapps & CWM without any problems:

update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20150703.zip

cm-12.1-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip

gapps-511-base-20151114-1-signed.zip

I have Bluetooth working with Keyboard, Mouse & Headset. Still checking CM12.1 out. Taking some getting use to using.

Thanks jcsullins for all your hard work you put into giving as a ROM the works right out of the box.

Strange behavior when battery is down

I'm on the Jan 9 build and I am really impressed!

The battery seems to last a day longer than before. (Or some power consuming apps have not been restored :p )

However, I m not 100% sure whether my settings are a good idea: I've left WIFI on in standby, and I did not tamper with WIFI optimization settings like it was recommended on CM11. That makes it easier if you wake it up from standby, but I noticed a strange behavior when the battery is running down low and the touchpad shuts down: I sometimes cannot turn it on and get it back to work again by simply charging it. The touchpad won't even notice its connected to a charger. Not even after hours. It'll only wake up when I connect it to a laptop or a computer (which gives me a Windows USB connect sound), wait for like 10 minutes, boot up again and then I have to be quick and connect it to a charger, before it shuts down again. It will then charge as if nothing has happened.

I'm not sure whether this also happened on jcsullins cm11 builds.

Any recommendations regarding the WiFi settings? Does this sound like flashing A6 firmware would be of any help?
[TouchPad General] bsorli:
Yes I've had issues with FB across the board and basically have disabled most of the features including messenger to make it work. Kinda defeats the purpose, but then I'm having issues with most everything I use regularly (YouTube, audio, video and email) and now limit my TP use.

Not by choice, Sorli...
[TouchPad General] Carey4782:
Same build. I set wifi to "only when plugged in" and am seeing -6 mA drain over a 6 hour period. I have had a similar, not same, experience re what seemed to be a dead TP. It would not restore with the HP charger untill I put it on a Touchstand for a couple of hours and then on the HP charger. I am now trying to prevent it from going completely dead by using "Automateit" with a Shutdown at 5% trigger. If it dies again I will try your computer USB port trick.

On a separate note some folks have expressed concerns about Developer access for overclocking access. The Jan 9 cm 12.1 build is set at interactive 384MHz/1.78 GHZ. What more could you want?
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
I am running the same build as you. Strongly recommend that you don't let your TP drain down until it automatically shuts off. TouchPads are notorious for bricking if you keep doing that. It did not matter which CM build you are running. It's an HP TouchPad thing. As for WiFi settings, "Keep WiFi turned on during sleep" set to "Never". Uncheck WiFi Optimization. I have no problems with WiFi reconnecting with my TP set that way. You can use an app like AutomateIt or LLama to set the shutdown threshold to a higher percentage like 20% to avoid what has been happening to you. Flashing the A6 has to do primarily with high battery drain while the tablet is asleep. Normal should be -10mA and under. And you should use Battery Monitor Widget by 3C to keep track of battery drain while your TP is asleep. If you start seeing consistent readings like -40 to -150mA, reflashing the A6 should help. If you have a rogue app that is causing a wake lock issue which causes higher than normal battery drain while asleep, there are apps and websites to help sort that out.

Here is a bit of info about lithium batteries. They don't like being consistently fully discharged. They don't care what the battery level is, at the end of the day, recharge them. Unless you use your TP for a radio, clock or something like that, at bedtime, turn it off. If you do use it for something like I just mentioned, have it connected to a charger or TouchStone. The TouchPad is close to being a 5 year old device. The battery is close to being at the end of it's useful life cycle. So be nice to it. I'll be amazed if mine makes it to 5 years use in August this year.

Are you having problems with FB Messenger on CM12.1 in general or on all CM builds? What about Skype, the camera and other apps that use the camera?

The camera on the TouchPad is a piece of crap to start with and getting it to work on any CM build going all the way back to CM7 has been a struggle. If

there was a build that it worked particularly well for you and FB Messenger and not having it is a deal breaker, then for now, you will have to use that

particular build. As newer CM12.1 builds are released or if by some miracle Marshmallow becomes a workable build on the TouchPad, you could then try

them and see if there is any improvement. Good luck

NT
[TouchPad General] picassokat:
Yep, never let TP battery runout. This goes back to webOS. If it does you have to charge sometimes for 12 to 24 hours, depending on its mood, before it shows signs of life again, but it will come back.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
Maybe five years ago, maybe now, not so much. :)

NT
[TouchPad General] exProphecy:
I love how everything seems to function correctly on this ROM. Even the camera works perfectly TY

I think my only issue is there is no performance tab in settings but people may download 3rd party apps if they really wish to make such changes.

Me on cm12. 1 20160109 clean install
[TouchPad General] bsorli:
Same here and I can see from my install looks like system and apps are using too much memory. TP has been a beast for years, but the RAM support has come and gone. I suspect most of my problems stem from this issue and the latest software and updates (Gapps, FB ) becoming larger then the TP can handle.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
I have been running cm12. 1 20160109 for about as long as it has been out and the only issue I have is tends to lag from time to time, but not often enough to bother me. I used TPTB to increase /system to 1gb. You can also use TPTB to check /system for that size and increase it if need be. Yeah, it would be nice if the TP had more than 1gb of ram, however, settings/apps/all/ shows I have 125 apps installed and settings/apps/running/ reports that with system using 236mb, apps using 123mb, I still have 440mb available. Maybe you should consider doing a little housekeeping and getting rid of a few infrequently used apps. Since I installed this build, I have not had one reboot, crash, lockup, WiFi issue or BSOD. I don't particularly care for ART, but that's a necessary evil if you want to run LL or higher. Just out of curiosity, what does settings/apps/running/ show you have for available Ram?

NT
[TouchPad General] bsorli:
Very similar with 264mb for system apps and 305mb free. Cached processes show much less ram availability, but now that I've done some house cleaning and killed about 10 apps running in the background (Autorun Manager Pro helped out bunches) for no reason things seem to be running more smoothly.

Either way, need to purge items like Facebook and Amazon Prime (Amazon Video, Music, etc) apps I don't use anymore and run overrun in the background. Thanks for the suggestions and I'll let you know in a day how things are working. Sorli...

If this is your first time installing a Lollipop Rom which replaced Dalvic with ART, then it is best to give your tablet several hours and a few reboots before it settles down which seems to be exactly what happened to you.

Sorry if this has been answered on here before, I did a search and didn't find anything. I've unlocked dev options and checked build.prop for ro.build.type set as userdebug but I don't see an option for Multi-Window. I'm assuming that it isn't built into this ROM, although I thought that it was built into base Android at this point. Any way to get it on here?

saw this last night and did a fresh install on a BNIB TP, used TPTBv42, fast and easy., given that i did this for a friend and used my gmail/playstore/gdrive credentials to access apps and download pstore apps, whats the best way to de-log my account but leave the apps for him to use?

thks to all once again, this site and the super resources and time and effort of so many individuals makes we want to buy everyone a drink!

EDIT: in retrospect i could have sideloaded via a usb drive but..
[TouchPad General] lisztophobia:
multi-window is an experimental option provided by google in android 6.0 (CM 13 is based on android 6.0) which developers may or may not choose to enable.

this ROM is CM 12.1, which is based on android 5.1.

afaik, multi-window is not a built-in feature of android 5.1. and it's only a standard feature of samsung touchwiz devices (even running android versions prior to 6.0) because of samsung's proprietary customizations to the OS.

otherwise (barring "6.0 or samsung"), probably the most commonly used option is this: user enables root and installs a third-party app called "xposed framework," then installs a module inside the xposed framework app called "xmultiwindow." however, i've seen many comments saying that xmultiwindow doesn't work reliably on android 5.1, so... you might just need to move on to an android 6.0 ROM if you really need multi-window, or else settle for not having that feature.
[TouchPad General] FastEddie422:
Ah ****, I haven't paid attention to CM for awhile so for some reason I was thinking 12.1 was based on Marshmallow. That explains it, now I feel stupid. Thanks!

[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
I was not aware that you could cross synchronize sensitive data like password credentials and the like between Google accounts. Be sure to let us know how it worked out.

I'm curious, if your friend already had a Google account why did you use yours to set up his TouchPad?

NT
[TouchPad General] a in yul:
you re perhaps right, i dont think cross synchronization works, basically I wanted to give him a tablet but wanted to set it up for him before; at least with some of the side-loaded apps that is; and then let him play around with the tablet and discover it as he goes; at which point he could/would set up his own gmail account, etc.

i may have to clear all apps and d/l apks on a usb, or email them to him and then set it up for him after.
[TouchPad General] chris5s:
As long as the apps you're loading are free from the play store you can go ahead and give your friend the TP with preinstalled apps, and when they connect with their play store username the preinstalled apps will update/work as normal. I've done this before, similar scenario, and all should be good.

Have not tried this before, but I would think that if you were go to settings and delete your account and sign into his, hopefully, any apps already installed would still be there. If not, since he has just started using it, should not be that hard to reinstall from the Play Store or side load any apps you have given him.

Update, nope, you cannot delete your Google account from settings.

I suspect, that on a TouchPad that has many accounts established, deleting that file will delete all of them. Under Settings / accounts, I have 8 accounts. So be careful if you try this.

Mine died a year or so ago (dec 2014) ... thought it was gone forever.

A friend prodded me, and I dug it out, and took it apart ... battery was severely distorted and expanded ... completely fried.

Put a new battery in, and after a tpdebrick session, it came right back to life.

Probably gonna toss this on it ... have no idea what I'm gonna do with it, but the ol' girl lives again nonetheless.
[TouchPad General] mobiapps:
Hello,

Thanks a lot JC!!. I lost my Touchpad during moving. Recently i found it, i am glad to see the great work from JC!. Quick question its currently running 4.4.1, can directly flash it to CM12 = Marshmallow ? Please advise...

Thanks,

Mobiapps
[TouchPad General] geearf:
At least wipe system and cache (/dalvik).

Also get the correct gapps.

That's why I did and it worked.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
A couple of things you should be aware of. There is only one Marshmallow build out and it is not a CM build. It is an Evervolv build maintained by Flintman. You cannot mix them either. There are a few things to think about such as how are you backing up your data? How big is your current /system volume? Which recovery are you using? Have you ever used Sullin's TouchPad Toolbox and if so, understand how it works? Are you still running WebOS? Are you ready to become a beta tester as Flintman's Evervolv MM build is a work in progress? Have you read through some of the threads such as these:

http://xdaforums.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-6-0-0p1-dm-t3238427

http://xdaforums.com/hp-touchpad/help/rom-guide-how-to-install-android-4-4-x-t2912820

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756314

Or you could use recovery to upgrade to one of the latest CM11, KitKat builds.

You should use TPTB to investigate your volume sizes and if /system is not already set to 1gb, you need to do that first. If you still have WebOS installed, TPTB can remove it freeing up around 5gb of memory for Android.

I think if you so some serious reading in the three threads above, that will answer most of your questions.

Almost forget, the version of Sullin's KK you are running is not the latest one. Sullin's KK builds are solid, well tested and stable. Flintman's MM like I said is a work in progress. So you can expect all kinds of little issues that you may not want to deal with at this time.

NT
[TouchPad General] _litz:
I will add that it's probably safest to clean install this, rather than attempt to upgrade.

I haven't had a single device that upgraded from 4.x to 5.x that worked correctly after the upgrade ...

(for that matter, 5.x to 6.x, same thing)
[TouchPad General] mobiapps:

Care to elaborate a bit. What did you do, how did you do it, what did you install?

NT
[TouchPad General] mobiapps:
I was running 4.4.1

First thing i ran JC's Touchpad Toolbox partion tool.

Second did a clean data reset.

Third flashed the current JC CM12 Rom.

One hicup i am seeing Clockmod boot and Phils boot as well. I want to get rid of Clockmod. Rom is kind of slow.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
You should do the complete data reset first, then do the volume size change. The best I remember, complete data reset sets the /system volume to 400 mb.

If you have two clockworkmod versions in your boot folder, you are going to have to go in with a file browser and delete the one you don't want. Just be careful when you're browsing around in there that you don't delete the wrong one. And your browser will have to have root permissions to be able to delete the file you get rid of. I consider Rom Toolbox lite one of the best tools for doing this.

NT
[TouchPad General] theronkinator:
Think I'm going to wipe my touchpad tomorrow and load this rom, it's on a CM11 from Oct 2014 and it's got a battery bug so it drains 5% an hour so it's pretty useless.

Incidentally I still have a brand new 32GB Touchpad never used with the plastic on it sat in it's box, don't suppose it's really worth anything now...
[TouchPad General] _litz:
Battery usage on jcs' builds here are simply amazing ... one caveat, though ...

If you are using the Google Now Widget (Genie Widget), uninstall it, and use the swipe-up gesture instead to access google now.

Widget as of a few weeks ago is a major battery sucker (it apparently sits there 100% of the time listening for you to say "OK Google")

Is it a J.C. Sullin's CM11? Why don't you try his latest build from Nov. 2015? Have you looked at Amazon or Ebay? People are still trying to sell them new on Amazon for $275 and up and on Ebay, $175 and up. There is one moron on Ebay trying to sell a new 16gb one for $355. Wish him luck. :p

This ROM is amazing for me on the TP. I tried a lollipop ROM before which was really buggy, with lots of problems. I installed this clean with the TP Toolbox and everything works great. It can slow down a bit when opening apps at times but that's to be expected on an old device. Really happy in general, and battery life for me is fantastic too! Thanks JC Sullins.

[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
If you did not increase the size of the /system volume to 1gb yourself, TPTB does not do that automatically. You can check it with "Resize Android Volumes" function of TPTB and change it if need be. I think you will find it currently at 800mb. And fyi, I'm not quite sure why Do Not Touch increased the size of cache to 1gb. I have not seen anyone complain that the 200mb that TPTB sets it at not being adequate I would consider that a huge waste of memory.

NT
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
That's probably it yes. I will try that out.

Totally agree, a 1gb cache seems like a massive waste, so do you recommend setting to 200mb and can this be done manually in TPTD resize volumes?

Someone (not me) needs to port gparted to android! ;)
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
If you used TPTB to install the Sullin's CM11 you already have installed, then the cache volume is already set to 200mb. In fact, I would not be surprised that the cache volume size has always been 200mb. Do Not Touch is the only person I have ever seen who seemed to think it needed to be made larger.

If you need to change volume size, what's wrong with using TPTB vs. Gparted? It's quick and easy. I keep the renamed TPTB .bin in /boot so it's available to do that or reflash the A6 from time to time.

NT
[TouchPad General] tedrogers61:
I'm just making a comment about what is familiar to me. Never used TPTB, but have used gparted/clonezilla on various desktop OS's. It wasn't meant as a serious point. I'll be fine with TBTP when I've taken the time to investigate it.

I do hope my cache is already set to 200mb. I seem to remember this figure when I went through the slightly more convoluted process of preparing my TP for CM11. I want to keep WebOS though, if possible. It does have its uses.
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
When you run "Install Android" from TPTB, it will leave WebOS alone and only prepare the Android side for the install. At that point, it will set all the volume sizes and at a certain point, it will allow you to adjust them before installing Android. At that point you will see a report of all the volumes and should change the /system volume to 1gb. It's not hard to do, you just have to pay attention to what you are doing following the instructions on screen, take away memory from /data first, confirm and then add it to /system and confirm. Then proceed with the install.
