The commit referenced allows directly flashing the latest supersu without having to flash an older version and then immediately have to update it after booting.

You can try this in a TWRP terminal session:

export SYSTEMLESS true

then flash the older SuperSu. Once booted, you can try to install Magisk. I haven't tried it so I have no idea if it will work or stick.
[TouchPad Development] jkmartindale:
Ran the export command, flashed SuperSU 2.46 on the 2017-05-18 nightly, booted into Android, downloaded Magisk manager, pointed it to mmcblk0p13, installation failed. Booted into TWRP again and tried running the command again and flashing Magisk there, but it didn't work.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
Ran it myself. It's not going to work because Magisk can't unpack the boot image. You're going to have to send it off topjohnwu at his github to get him to fix it. It seems an awful lot of work for not much.

Hello,

I've recently moved from CM13 to Evervolv 7 and I am having issues with mounting a samba share. The share mounts fine from another computer and is also accessible by ES file explorer on my touchpad, but I am unable to mount it (whether with busybox or not). The CIFS module seem to be there, but I get "mount failed permission denied", using the same command that works on a computer.

I personally don't care about using samba/cifs or NFS or sshfs, I just want to be able to mount a share from my computer, so that I can stream things to my tablet. I used to do it with cifs on CM, but if there is another way here that would be very fine too.

What should I try?

Thank you!

Did you get that error running some application?, or did you get it trying to install a ROM?, its usual protocol in these threads that if you want help you have to be more precise with the steps you took to get your error.

Like it if was on the install, state the 3 Zip files you used, and what method did you use to install Nougat.

That will give Nevertells2 more information, and he knows alot and can be very helpful if given more information.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Yes, I had this also with the latest df's end of May. It just started at one time with no particular trigger, it just came up at that time. It popped up while using apps or when closing them. I could not track it down to a specific app.

I then decided to do a clean install of the 05-29 ROM and actual gapps (which make a hugh climb up at that time from some 70MBs of the ZIP to 125MB!) on all of the TP with that fail (but also due to other reasons) and everything works fine again. :fingers-crossed:
[TouchPad Development] w1ll1m:
Okay...

It can be any app, I recall it happening on redreader, show box and kernel aduitor.

Plus i only install the main rom, no gapps and sometines the kernel.

Yeah it seems i might have to to that, but i have a ton of links in my reading list that i need to work through before i can.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The ROM supports casting (as do most of the ROM's where you have asked this duplicated post, which BTW, is considered bad form.) Whether it works with your hardware is up to you to find out.
[TouchPad Development] musafir84:
I am sorry to post to multiple threads. The HP TouchPad is being used by my parents and I need to make sure I have a stable ROM on it that just works like clockwork. They use it primarily for browsing but want to also use it for watching shows on the TV with a miracast adapter.
[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
[MENTION=4218955]musafir84[/MENTION]

Your statement that you want a stable Rom that works like clockwork tells me that this Rom is not want you want on your parents TouchPad. Don' t get me wrong, the Evervolv folks make an outstanding Rom, but because of the age of the TouchPad and the advanced state of the Nougat builds, there are all kinds of little bugs and issues that the Evervolv team are trying to work out. That's why they are called nightlies rather than release versions. In fact, there has not been a true release version of Android on the TouchPad since CM9, Android 4.0.4. There have been lots of great builds that could have been considered release builds, but Cyanogenmod stopped supporting the TouchPad after CM9. IMHO, if you want a stable Rom that works like clockwork, you need to go back to an older version of Evervolv, like here: https://xdaforums.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-5-0-0p1-data-media-t2949521 or try J.C. Sullin's CM11 here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712680.

I see you have been around looking for an answer to your Miracast question including one that specifically addressed the issue and it was stated there that Miracast is not supported. I also have a Chromecast dongle and I am able to screencast to it. But it has been my experience that because of the age of the TouchPad the hardware does not do well screencasting. I have found that after a few minutes, the video gets bogged down and starts to pixelate and lag on the TV screen. If I cast using my Nexus 6P, works great.

I have connected my Touchpad to my 5G Hz network and did a speed test. I only see about 22Mbps download. But if I use a newer model device to perform the same speed test, I see over 100 Mbps download. A big difference. Not quite sure it's hardware or software related, or both. I have checked the devs base thread once in a while and I have not seen any posts from flintman for a while. I hope he's ok.

[TouchPad Development] real_sl4cker:
I've been using this ROM for some time now and am very impressed that this old device is capable of running the latest Android version so smoothly. Thank you very much for keeping our device up to date.

Recently out of a sudden I face the following issue: The notification bar is no longer transparent but black. Pulling it down makes the whole screen black with only the notifications showing. Lockscreen also has a black background instead of the default one (I never changed the default background). Browsing in Firefox also overlays the websites with solid black. Scrolling past the edges reveals a bit of the website behind it.

I upgraded to the latest build (August 1st) and cleared caches but the issue remains. I'm running this ROM without GApps or root, just F-Droid, Yalp Store and MicroG.

Any ideas?

Installed today replacing 4.4.4 with clean install and Titanium Backup to restore primary apps and minimize huge amounts of download.

So far, working well and curious how Bluetooth works and I'll post an update after I see how things go. WiFi initially took an additional reboot, but 2.4k and 5.0k are both reporting (5.0 wasn't available previously in 4.4.4) . Restoring apps now and let you know how new build goes. Thanks for the continued support from a 7 year old TP user! Sorli...

PS - all I had to do beside clean install was expand System to 1500mb and install the latest TWRP recovery.

Update 1. System finally installed with previous Titanium Backup restoration and another hour downloading updated Nougat compatible apps. Only app I had to purge and reinstall was Defender 2, that simply did not work and is now running. Bluetooth working perfectly so far for audio and plan to test keyboard tomorrow. My 5GHz wifi is no longer available, but my router has been acting up and probably needs replacing. Thx again....

Update 2. Does anyone know if this is being updated or fixed? Posting feedback doesn't serve much good if no one is reading and making changes. Also curious, if anyone has a fix for Nougat's WiFi problems and timing out and disconnecting automatically with this Evervolv build? Thanks for the feedback and other then that...system works pretty darn well!

Final Update. Bluetooth Headset and Keyboard (using now) working perfectly. Only problem with this build is with WiFi timing out on occassion, but nothing obvious (screen timeout, etc). Been on for 1 hour and hasn't hung up so not sure why it happens more often and simply intermittent. Either, I'm pretty happy and thanks for the work..whoever is working on this!

Now I'm not clear on what version you are running. Are you running Nougat or Oreo? If you are running Nougat, I would try installing it again over the top of what you already have installed and then Gapps and see what happens. If the problem still exists then do a clean install. If you are running Oreo, I'm not surprised you are having a problem. The Evervolv team just started working on it and it's going to be a while before it's worth using. It's full of bugs and has all kinds of issues right now. The reason I asked if you have TWRP installed, you can make a data only backup and after a clean install restore just the data only.

Wifi vs 4G

What are the benefits of Wifi vs 4G?

I installed the Wifi version today... I am giving my HP to my brother to use for casting shows to his tv..

Should I fall back on a more reliable rom? This is my first time with Evervolv.. I followed shumash on here for the previous builds.. Up until pac rom which is no longer supported.. so I figured I would jump here and giver a go... Hoping all is well.. I would like to give praise and thanks to all the folks involved in keeping this tablet running with current/up to date software... I really appreciate it..

Thanks,

Treybone
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
First question that comes to my mind is do you have a 4G tablet? Do you even know what 4G is? Have you ever tried screen casting with this tablet you plan to give to your brother? I don't find the TP particularly reliable at screen casting. After a period of time casting, the picture starts to break up and eventually freeze. Evervolv builds good Roms, I think it's just a limitation of the hardware in the tablet itself. Keep in mind too that this Rom is not a fully debugged, mature build. It's a good Rom, but does not necessarily work as well as some of the older builds of previous versions of Android. Also, mine is probably the only answer you are going to get. Read the post just above yours.

Regards

NT
[TouchPad Development] Treybone:
Thanks NT for the quick reply. The screen casting works great with no issues. I see that this forum no longer supports questions related to the build. I see this hp tablet is not 4G as it is outdated. I like the build so far but this tablet will only be used to cast screen so the BT isnt a big deal. I might go back to a previous build if they have any issues. Thanks again
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
FYI, the 4G TouchPad and the WiFi Touchpad have a spring loaded simcard holder on the side of the tablet. On the 4G model, when the holder is popped out, you see the slot to hold the simcard. On the WiFi model, there is no simcard slot, but there is info on the model number printed on the holder surface. There may be the model number of the 4G model printed on the holder, but I've never had my hands on one to look. The 16GB and 32GB models each have different model numbers printed on the holder. I believe the model numbers are:

32GB - FB356UT#ABA

16GB - FB355UA#ABA

32 GB/4G - FB354UA#ABA

And there was a very rare white 64GB model - FB425UA#ABB

P.S. you should have been on these HP Touchpad boards a few years ago during the "Hey day" of development, there were developers, there were testers, they were people "in the know" like Nevertells2, and YouTube video instruction guys like RolandD, and these boards were shaking and baking....sadly there boards now are just a trickle of people now and then.

[TouchPad Development] gnucoder:
Thank you :) That works, not very stable, a lot of things crash bu it works ^^ I'll may be look for a more stable Android 6 ROM. Actually I've known those "hey days" and my parents TP was working just fine with Android L. Now it's become really old and most applications refuse to run and update... I'm just trying to save some money and get extra life for the TP as my parents are not techies at all, they just need something stable to surf the web and see some youtube videos.
[TouchPad Development] DoubleStuff:
I will take a page out of Nevertells2's playbook and tell you that KitKat4.4.4 is probably the most stable of the ROMs. Yes you may find Android Lollipop fairly stable, I had JC Sullins version some time ago and it was good. Not sure why yours refused to run and update. You might just want to remove and re-install same version.

But as the ROMs moving forward to Android 6 and Android 7 and now Evervolv even started Android 8, it seems like development was in its final stages with a few bugs on these versions, but then developers moved on to the new release, and left the previous ROM "as is".

There has been various arguments as to whether this old HP Touchpad Hardware ( circa 2011 ) and RAM can handle anymore higher versions of Android. There is 2 camps, the Nevertells2 camp and the Lippy camp, I guess only time will tell where it ends and depending on your tolerance for bugs, its maybe different for everybody.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
And then there's this
[TouchPad Development] DoubleStuff:
Yes Shumash makes a good point, it looks like Flintman and Evervolv are working on Android "GO" which essentially is, "a special version of Android 8.1 Oreo that is optimized to run on low-end hardware."

( i.e. I think the 2011 HP Touchpad with 1 GB of RAM, would qualify )

Also Adam Conway has created some sort of Go patch, read here --> Android 8.1 Oreo Go

but this seems to be for newer budget devices that has 8.1 ROM already installed, so HP Touchpad owners will have to wait for Flintmans release.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Maybe they will release a flashable build with the patch already applied. One can only hope. :p

[TouchPad Development] DoubleStuff:
I was reading the below thread about the "low ram" patcher, and apparently it works on any Android Rom, 4.4 and greater. So I might try it this weekend on Nougat see if it gets rid of the lag, or maybe try it on JC Sullins 4.4.4 and it might really fly....but I wonder if developers like JC. Sullins ect validated the low-RAM UI changes?

snip from OP of below link...

The target system is Oreo, but the low-ram property was introduced since Android KitKat 4.4,

therefore it should work on other versions, unless the ROM developers (official Stock OEM, custom ROMs, ...)

did not validate the low-RAM UI changes (recent apps UI mostly) against the additions they made.
