As long as there is enough room in the /media volume to accommodate the files you could put them in the ttinstall folder or on the root of the /media volume. Only catch would be that TWRP is able to see the /media volume. One way to find out, try it and see what happens. Like I said, you have to wipe the /system volume to get rid of the previous Rom and Factory data reset does not destroy any files on the internal SD card.

So Devs Base is the forbidden link that the mod removed. Looks a lot like XDA, how come the move? Did you guys have a falling out with XDA? You guys have been on XDA forever.

Anyway, thought I would point out that the link on Google+ to the website does not work. Secondly, to post one has to register with Devs Base. I went through the process and it said I was going to receive an email to finish the process. Never got the email and now when I try to log in, forum says my user ID is inactive. I'm supposed to contact an admin for help, but don't see any links to do that. Are you an admin on Devs Base? Or can you help me out with a link or contact method to an admin?

Thanks,

NT

Update: OK, I stumbled upon the resend activation email link and managed to get an email this time, so never mind on that issue, thanks.

Changes Noticed

I'm hoping this is in the correct forum.

I have been using "Settings - Updates" to keep up with things. My HP Touchpad is now at

Android version 7.0

Android security patch level October 5 2016

Kernel version 3.4.112-tenderloin+ ev_nightlies@evervolv.codefi.re#1, Friday Oct 21 06.52.28 PDT 2016

Build number ev_tenderloin eng 7.0 NBD90Z test-keys

Questions

1.	Apps load and work. The back triangle key takes screen back to the App menu. With the app running, the circle key goes to Home. The white square key has no function at any time. Should it? It appears that the circle and back keys close the current screen.

2.	Under Settings, there is no Update item to select new releases.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
The little square at the end of bottom center should take you a vertical list of recently used apps for quick reactivation. I don't think there's an upper limit to this list, but I've seen a quit huge scrolling list after continuous use for several days. This list survives across reboots, but probably gets dropped on OS flash. It's not critical to the operation of the system, in general; just a nice convenience for the user in some situations (like bouncing back and forth between two or three apps quickly).
[TouchPad Development] insteadof:
Yup used to do that

Thank you for your update to my question. Sorry, I should have indicated that the functionality disappeared with the update. It was useful when reading an article and then bouncing to the weather forecast.
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
If you don't mine, would love to be on this list for downloads.

Thanks much,

Rich K.

Side note..installed 7.1, full clean install, ROM-gapps (pico) and SU 2.78 and a couple side apps (root explorer, VLC,) and all seems to be working well thus far.

Only hiccup i've come across (last night testing) is video sometime choppy on BROWSER only...VLC perfect video is great.

Again, you guys amaze me...Kudos to the devs.
[TouchPad Development] tokyoexodus:
Hi everyone, newbie here. Haven't been updating my HP Touchpad and by chance bump into this which is a huge discover. Did not know that the TP can be updated to Android 6 not to mention 7 now. Just curious if where should I download the latest stable version (7.1?) or the link in the first page is the latest stable?

Is there a huge learning curve to get this setup or very much just follow step by step can get my TP updated to Nogut? Thanks very much for helping out here and look forward to hearing more exciting news! Feel like my TP is now revived! Thanks a million! :)

Android 7.1

I can't seem to find any download links for android 7.1 and every time I try and download it from the updates section on the touchpad it always only partially downloads it.
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
So are the HP Touchpad devs and XDA admin at loggerheads now and this is not going to be where to follow them? I am a bit confused from what I read the last few days. I went to the other site and what a mess the threads are. Can't tell which post is which the order of the posts seems not to be nice and linear like it is here. Is it just me? Thanks.

And is the 10/31 rom the end of the road for 7.0??? Thanks.

Recording doesn't work (yet).

I know you guys look at getting the camera working as a challenge to over come. But I would hope you would put getting all other features working 100% ahead of getting the really crappy camera on the Touchpad working. If there was one camera function that is worth it would be getting it working with Skype. Getting video recording to work, really big waste of time. Just my two cents worth.

Where do you take from anything I said that I am telling or requesting any developer do anything other than what they want to do. It was just a comment on my part and I made that perfectly clear when I said, "JUST MY TWO CENTS WORTH." I get tired of people twisting my words!

[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
What the devs can put in the priority list is not your business at all. What you said doesn't worth even 1/100 cent. Devs are not your employees. It is quite rude to tell them what they SHOULD do first, and what they SHOULDN'T, and question the value of devs' work when they put tremendous free time into it.
[TouchPad Development] Do Not Touch:
^^ To follow up:

NT's input should be valued, but what some people have a problem with is the tone. We've already lost one of our top TouchPad developers because he was offended by the tone of discussions aimed at him. It's great to see helpful posts for noobs, but it's unfortunate to see some driven away after being eviscerated for not reading a post several or many pages back. The TouchPad is a product that went through its end of life cycle 4 or 5 years ago, so at this point, every developer and every end user is important to the community.

It is possible to request a feature without using inflamatory words and phrases like, "crappy camera" and "100% waste of time." Only the developers can say what is a waste of time and what isn't. Even with a dwindling user base, there are still a lot of TP users out there, and they all count. If even a small percentage of the user base wants to use the camera as a security camera, a web cam or for Skype, it still adds up to a lot of people.

It's amazing that the developers still spend time on the TP -- even if it's just for the challenge. At times it looks like some people would benefit from taking a step back to marvel at the developers' achievments. This is a development team that comes through. Patience and appreciation matters.

OK, I have updated to 7.x

What is the safe way in TWRP to clear the system cache. I think I cleared the DALVIK, but I am unsure if I cleared the system cache..

I don't want to lose all my installed apps. Thanks

TWRP lists:

Dalvik/Art

Cache

Data

Internal Storage

System

Mico SDcard

I think it is just Dalvik and Cache

Thanks

I get this message every time I boot.

I eject it on every boot, wish I knew what I was supposed to do for a permanent solution.

Anyone having any luck connecting an external bluetooth speaker?
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I doubt you could do much for it at the moment. That is the partition that was in webos and tp toolbox uses to install roms from. This is also a new feature N has brought. Adaptable storage. Im going to try converting it to internal memory to make up for what I removed from data to expand system. N is allowing all devices to do this with sd cards and usb drives, like the nexus player has been able to do since M

same issue

I, too, am experiencing this same issue. I tried both windows and ubuntu tptb on a 32g Touchpad and it errors on the flintman twrp zip file. "unrecognized/unsupported zip". I picked this tablet up off of someone else who had modded it to run cm at one point. I have two other 16g-- one running 5.0 and one running 6.0 that both installed with zero issues.

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

I had the bright idea to try to install 6.0 on the 32g touchpad since I had all of the files anyway-- I had no issues with that install. Once 6.0 is done installing, I will try 7.0 again.

For dirty flash from EV 6.0.1 just need to wipe cache, dalvik cache and install rom or do GAPPS need flashed also? And of course fingers crossed and backup made..

Some gremlins

Couple of gremlins - wifi winked out while using Flipboard, but was able to open up settings and reconnect immediately. An ad popped up in Flipboard, and touch sensor went offline. Had to use power key to put Touchpad to sleep. Touch back to normal after wake up.

While downloading nano gapps with Dolphin, it consistently eats the processor alive. System becomes extremely sluggish. Once download completes, its back to normal.

Managed to crash 2 browsers uploading the log, and the XDA app won't upload either. Recommendations?

P.S. - Google services has crashed twice over 2 boots.

P.P.S. - this was a clean install.

P.P.P.S - used AirDroid to send it to my computer, then uploaded saved log from there. Hope this helps!

Update 2

6.0 installed OK. I tried 7.0 again and the twrp zip still had the unrecognized/unsupported zip error using tptb. I went back and booted the twrp I had loaded from 6.0 and flashed flintman's twrp 3.0.2 zip from inside the old twrp and it upgraded on the touchpad, so I know the zip file isn't corrupt. Tptb that I am using is the latest version.

I am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the 3.0.2 twrp zip is not working in the tptb?
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
If you already have a version of android installed, there is no reason to install anything through tptb. All you need tptb for is to resize partitions. After that, flash new twrp through old twrp. Then, place the 7.0 rom and gapps on the tp and flash through newest twrp. Tptb has a slightly strict naming convention, and is only needed for installing roms and gapps if you are coming from webos and do not have twrp installed. Beyond that, tptb has not been updated since last year. It is no surprise that it wont handle the newer 7.0 zips. That is what twrp is for.

7.0 is running beautifully, flintman. Substantially less lag than 6.0. Very smooth and reactive. Excellent work, and thank you for yet another wonderful contribution to our touchpad. Five years and still rolling.
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Hey Flintman

Running 7.0 as a clean install on my TP 32gb Wifi model. It is fast and smooth. I am loving this beyond anything you have previously released.

Have only noticed one issue and that is with Bluetooth. I was able to pair a bluetooth headset as well as a bluetooth speaker to my TP. However, it took 5-6 times of turning bluetooth off and back on and then trying to pair again before the pairing worked. Past that I can get the TP to show that it is connected to my bluetooth device, and my devices also confirm that they read being connected to the TP. However, sound still comes through the TP onboard speakers and not the bluetooth.

Aside from the bluetooth issue this Rom is absolutely perfect in my view. Thanks again for the Great Work!!!
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I can confirm the bt issue. Read your post and realized I had not tried bt yet. Had a tough time connecting, and caused one immediate reboot. Once back on, it connected, but sound remains internal. Usually when a bt speaker is connected, there is a bt volume slider. That is not present either.

On another note, I just got a total touch freeze while writing this. Home/volume buttons functioned, but no touch. Turn off/turn on screen fixed. Similar to the issue we had when 6.0 was new. I want to say that I am seeing the "double tap" issue showing up every once in a while during typing but it is so infrequent that I can't be sure it isn't a "me" problem. I'll keep watching for it. Overall, freakin amazing for an alpha so early in the life of 7.0.
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
I cannot get sound to come out of my external bluetooth speaker either.

It worked fine on the previous 6.x roms.

Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Thanks for the confirmation that it's not just me. As for the "double tap" when typing. I have noticed this a few times as well. However, not nearly as frequent as 6.0 was. Honestly though, I have gotten used to the double tap issue being the way of life for all Android devices in my home running 5.0 and above, that I was no longer thinking of it as a bug. :p
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
Not weird at all. In fact, it's expected. As explained in the TP Toolbox thread, only specific roms and gapps can be used with TP Toolbox. (ie not this rom and not OpenGApps) :rolleyes:

If you already have TWRP installed, you should be able to flash everything from the OP in TWRP. You should only need to use TP Toolbox to either adjust partition sizes, or start from scratch if any partitions got corrupted or you get errors while adjusting partitions. Everything in the OP can not be used with TP Toolbox.

If you end up having to start from scratch in TP Toolbox v0.42, follow these steps:

- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible ROM

- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible GApps

- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible TWRP

1. In the TP Toolbox v0.42 main menu, do a 'Complete Data Reset' to start from scratch

2. Select the 'Install Android' option from the main menu

3. Copy the 3 above files to the install folder after the TP is mounted

4. When given the option to adjust partition sizes, increase the System partition to at least 1312mb

5. Finish install, and reboot to TWRP

6. While in TWRP, flash the 9/6/16 TWRP 3.0.2.0 or the smaller 9/11/16 TWRP 3.0.2.0

7. Reboot into the new TWRP that you just flashed

8. In TWRP advanced wipe menu, wipe the System partition

9. While still in TWRP, flash the ROM from the OP along with some OpenGapps

Hey all. Just a quick note regarding the BT issue. I have been playing with it and have not resolved it, but thought I would post what I have tried that did not work :)

Forgot paired BT devices. Rebooted into Safe Mode. Paired BT devices. Still no audio. rebooted into normal mode. still no BT audio.

Wiped and reinstalled 6.0 8/22/16 release. paired BT devices, confirmed that BT had audio. Used TWRP to do a dirty flash to 7.0. In 7.0 I found the BT devices still listed as paired, but alas still no audio :(

Am now back to a clean install of 7.0 and will wait for updates. :)

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
So, I'm back and up to date :) Got the 10/31 nightly installed on both my 4G (still don't have a working SIM) and a 16gb Wi-Fi unit. The Wi-Fi one is a completely fresh install, that just had webOS before, and now just has Evervolv. The 4G one was just a straight upgrade from 6.

Does performance seem rather lackluster to anyone else? Like Google Inbox app is lethargically slow. I haven't really tried much else on it .. I've been out of frequent tablet usage now for many months, so I don't really know what I want to do with it.. but figured I'd get them up to date. Both seem to be about the same .. overclocked to 17xx, and both running .. seemingly pretty slow.

On the bright side, against the general advice of, oh, everyone :) a straight upgrade from 6.0 to 7.0 seems to have worked perfectly, it's on f2fs, and i didn't resize anything.

I said nothing of what you have tried to twist my words to sound like. The only person with the authority to admonish me if I have said anything that violates the rules of the XDA forum is a moderator and that you are not. So the only thing I have to say to you is ONCE A TROLL, ALWAYS A TROLL! Keep it up and once again, the moderator will have to remind you that you continue to violate the XDA rules when you have been told previously not to. And in the future, if you think I have violated forum rules report me to a moderator or if you like I'd be happy to engage you via PM.
[TouchPad Development] googlephone:
LOL....

How did I twist your words???

"But I would hope you would put getting all other features working 100% ahead of getting the really crappy camera on the Touchpad working.": You asked/requested the devs to get all other features 100% working, and not to work on the camera right now. The developers spent tons of time getting camera working and you DO NOT NEED to say that the developers' work are useless, even if you personally don't need this feature. This is called respect, respect to developers and to other users who need the camera feature.

" If there was one camera function that is worth it would be getting it working with Skype. Getting video recording to work, really big waste of time. ".: You told the devs that getting video recording on the camera is waste of time. You are judging and questioning the value of the work done or being done by the developers.

Summary: No one can twist your words when you didn't say it. You are the one who was trolling here with nothing contributing to this community but driving away developers.

The funny thing is that you think you have the power to convince the moderators to ban me... LOL...

I am confident that I didn't do anything violating XDA rules. If you are talking about trolling, you are the one here trolling.

Recommendation to you: stop judging the others' work because you don't have the authority, and stop thinking that what your thinking is smarter or more valuable than others, especially the smart developers. I can guarantee you that if you keep doing this way, you will be the last and only one staying in this touchpad forum after all developers gone.

Hello everyone.

So nice rocking this PAD with the latest and greatest

I've had 7.1 loaded for a few days now (flashed 110616 last night) and all is well outside of video via the browser...any browser actually.

Firefox, Chrome, Slimperience.....i can see the video with the arrow to start, yet never does.

Is there a mod or a update i can do to eliminate this issue?

am i missing something? a check box? hardware acceleration?

I loaded up some videos files and play well via VLC.

CPU up to 1712 and min is 384

Other;

Wi-Fi will cut out if i don't use for a bit, yet will always reconnect upon tapping icon.

All apps loaded up have been working well, yet my calender app FC when i go to settings...

Thanks for the support and any info is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
