The last CM release for the TouchPad was CM9. Anything since then has been build by independent developers like Flintman, Shumash and J.C. Sullins. The only development team that I am aware of that has continued to support the TouchPad is the Evervolv team. They only build true AOSP builds where the CM team does a very tweaked build. J.C. Sullins was the developer who built CM12.1, but the build was never officially recognised by CyanogenMod.

You can get an unofficial CM14.1 ROM from invisiblek's download site. It would be bad form to discuss it here in any further detail (it's probably bad form to have mentioned it at all.)

Up and Running!

Thank you so much AlwaysLucky! Your guide (I believe post 3) was a god send.. up and running. So, in the future should all new flashes take place in TWRP?

LS Powers
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
Correct. From now on you should be able to use TWRP for all of your Touchpad flashing needs. However, one time I got mounting errors while flashing in the new TWRP and had to start from scratch again using that guide I posted. So it's probably a good idea to hang on to those TP Toolbox compatible files in case you ever need to do the same in the future.

I'm so glad I could help out. Enjoy! :cowboy:
[TouchPad Development] knightnz:
FWIW - I have a similar issue to Superbonbon. Audio worked fine with the last 6.x Evervolv I was using, (at least) the last 3 nightlies have all had flaky audio however, this is after a full Toolbox-level wipe & reflash of all components.

It may be impedence-related;

Soundmagic MP21 - 12 Ohm - Audio works sometimes

Xiaomi Mi Piston 2.1's - 16 Ohm - Audio works sometimes

Sennheiser PMX-60 - 32 Ohm - Audio works consistently

Sennheiser HD280 Pro - 64 Ohm - Audio works consistently

So at this stage, it doesn't seem to like the Pistons for some reason although they work fine in everything else I have handy to try (Redmi Note 3 phone, Topping TP32 headphone Amp, Toshiba laptop). Even when they're not outputting audio, I can still hear a faint hiss through them.

Audio from the speakers seems to work fine. I can "break" the audio by unplugging the headphones while playback is happening then plugging them back in.

I am in the 11/24 7.1 build. Have 1512mb system partition. It's still very slow and lags. Is there anyway I can turn on swap to get more memory?
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
What settings do you have in the performance section under SETTINGS? I'm not experiencing the lags.

I've used:

SMARTMAX

BFQ

1782 MHz

Also have the kernel swapping turned on as well. it's fairly stable and I haven't seen anything bigger than a 3-3.5 *C change in temp on my TP.
[TouchPad Development] Hikikomorikruge:
Turning on 'Kernel samepage merging' found under Toolbox -> Performance -> General should free up some RAM. Also I believe the current suggested processor settings are:

I/O scheduler: FIOPS

CPU governor: SMARTMAX
[TouchPad Development] harpin14789:
Do you mean kernal samepage merging?
[TouchPad Development] Magoogle:
Just installed latest nightly. I am having issues where the "Touch" drops and no longer functions. All hard buttons are still working. After doing a force reboot using home/down/power the touch function is restored.
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
Yes, sorry for the confusion. Also, as posted a few posts back, it's FIOPS and not BFQ. I use BFQ on my original Nook Color as that kernel doesn't have FIOPS or the SMARTMAX governor.

[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
I don't believe it is. Personally, I've used it on my HTC desire...only long enough to root it, and I don't like it. Not as intuitive or robust as TWRP or CWM. TWRP is most preferred for this ROM anyway.

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I am not particularly familiar with DSL WiFi, but as long as it supports standard WiFi protocols, it should work. What Rom do you have installed? Try a different AP like at a neighbor's or Mickey D's or the library. Try a complete reset of your router. What about other WiFi devices connecting to it? Phone, laptop?

Keep getting an error

I installed the 12-2 version of 7.1 onto my touchpad. But once I restarted my tablet it started saying system UI is not working. It does not matter if I clear dalvik and cache, it keeps saying system UI is not working. What can I do to get it working? Reinstalling 12-2 does not seem to help.

Edit: More Information: I can boot TWRP and WebOS recovery but I cannot sideload anything in those two screens. Is there a way I can load an older version of 7.1 onto my touchpad? Anything else I can do to make it work? Would clearing system help? We can operate under the assumption that I am dumb and did not backup.

I would appreciate any advice!
[TouchPad Development] TP User:
Hello,

I am having the same problem as the poster before me. System UI has stopped. This is a clean install of 7.1 12-2 as well with the recommended gapps and TWRP as provided in this thread. No apps were installed. All was well immediately after the install. I then place the TP on an AC charger. When I returned to check the battery level and start the fun part of installing apps, the TP immediately returns the pop up with the error. I tried to reinstall the same ROM using TWRP but no joy. I wish I could offer a catlog but I cannot access anything other than TWRP and webOS recovery.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have two TPs and this one is the test device so if there any requests for testing, I am open to that.
[TouchPad Development] db_white:
It's been my experience that hitting the power button to put the Touchpad to sleep, then waking it up again is sufficient to bring the Touch sensor back online. Your mileage may vary...

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

Not to worry! Download a prior ROM version (from Evervolv site, for tenderloin) on your PC. Boot the Touchpad into TWRP. Hit the Mount button, then mount the USB drive. Connect USB between TP and PC. From the PC, copy the replacement zip into the ttinstall directory on the TP. (You may need to delete a prior zip from the directory; there's not a lot of room on the partition.)

Once copied, safely eject the TP USB drive from the PC, to make sure the data is written, then unmount the drive via TWRP.

Proceed with flashing, this time using the replacement zip. TWRP thinks the ttinstall directory is located at /external_sd/ttinstall - ES Explorer sees it as /storage/1C68-5201/ttinstall . Either way, you should find it quickly from TWRP.

For what it's worth, I try to leave zips for a known good ROM and GAPPs in the ttinstall dir so the parachute is ready, in case of just such an emergency.

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

Save a catlog while it's misbehaving. Revert your ROM as described previously. You can then upload the saved log from the recovered TP. (You could transfer it via the USB trick, but there's no urgency once the log is saved.)
[TouchPad Development] deathsaber99:
It worked! Thank you so much.

11-29 came up with the same system UI is not working issue. However, 11-24 worked fine.

So to sum up: 11-29 and 12-2 come up with a system UI issue. It does not say system UI immediately, but after a few minutes it shows up.

Wifi efficient auto reconnect

Hello,

I use the touchpad for an always-on tablet that shows home-control buttons and play music. I was almost considering getting rid of it, principally due to the wifi always disconnecting and the tablet being therefore nothing more than a an idling clock.

Eventually I managed to found a solid workaround for the wifi. Objective is simply to force Android to resync with the wifi as soon as it gets disconnected, this is performed in a heartbeat and similar to manually going to wifi option setting and reconnecting. The trick is to create a script that will perform the related wpa_cli command line call whenever it losts the wifi.

Based on standard rom version, here is how to proceed:

1) Add to the base version of the wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf file the below line so it creates a socket, allowing wpa_cli to interact. The origial /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf has been erased and simply replaced the following:

2) Erase current setting so a new file will be created, using the above ctrl_interface definition

rm /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

3) Use android wifi setting screen to reconfigure the connection to the wifi AP

4) Create a script to reconnect upon disconnection. "automate" tool was used for such (script is attached)

Script process is:

=> analyse every 5 seconds if wifi is disconnected, else launch reconnect command

=> fork a listener that will react upon wifi state change and launch same command

the reconnect command is to be launched as root:

I also spend some time working at further smoothing the tablet speed experience. Here are my current settings:

> Android dev setting: no more than 2 background process

> Android dev setting: animation disabled

> Choosen android Launcher: Evie (light and fast)

> Wake lock Power Manger (used as widget): Wifi full speed activated all the time

> EX Kernel manager: settings for aggressive Low Memory Killer

> EX Kernel manager: smartmax CPU with 1512mhz minimum

> Startup Manager: All useless user app and some android services not related to my usage of the table disabled on boot. Spotify to auto start on boot

> Android Screen saver set to 2 minutes of inactivity with "Website Daydream" that is showing my home control webpage
[TouchPad Development] beerninja:
Just installed 7.1 and overclocked the TP and it's running fantastic but I can't figure out how to get the new netflix offline content to show up. Apparently they are only allowing offline content on select devices. Is there any way to trick the netflix app into thinking that I have a different device so I can access the downloadable offline content?

p.s. is there any way to fix the double-tap problem? Sometimes I'll scroll and it will tap randomly and sometimes when typing on the keyboard it will double-press letters.

thanks
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
If you know one of those select devices, the practice used to be editing the build.prop to reflect that device. The build.prop is located in the /system folder and there are several references

to the touchpad and tenderloin. Which ones you have to change I can't tell you. Previously, folks did this to get certain apps to run on the TouchPad that would not otherwise do so. Maybe

someone here remembers how to do this, or you could try Googling "Editing the build.prop".

[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Probably should have gone back and read...

Too cold to do anything outside so I figured I pass some time updating my TPs. It's been several weeks.

I might have missed something.

(2) tablets @ 10-29 version.

Grabbed 12-02 and dirty flashed it over 10-29.

They are both booting up OK, screens were reset, but then Playstore, then Calendar, then Hangsouts crashed.

I select 'Mute until Restart'

Play Store won't come up.

Chrome won't run, comes up and then CTD, w/o any error messages.

Dolphin does function.

Drive just loops & loops.

Can not really do much of anything on them.

Is there something I missed jumping from 7.0 to 7.1?

Sorry if this has been addressed in a previous post, I'm going to try to make some time tonight to go back and catch up on postings.

Have you installed the appropriate version of gapps?
[TouchPad Development] beerninja:
Thanks! I edited the buildprop to various confirmed working devices and then rebooted and resintalled netflix but unfortunately it didn't work. Some guy on reddit told me that netflix offline content requires widevine level 1 so I did some searching and apparently (as far as I could tell) no custom ROM in the history of custom ROMs has ever been able to pass widevine level 1 so I guess no netflix offline content for us. Oh well, I guess I'll continue taking the less legal offline content route then ;)

The Rom is not the problem. Widevine requires support in hardware which the HP Touchpad does not have.

NT
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Yep, yep...

Not thinking clearly here I guess. hehe.

On this Tablet I had originally used the 'mini' version so I flashed it with the 7.1 version of that.

Looks solid so far. Booted up and loaded without any errors at all.

Now for an interesting effect that I won't even pretend to understand, I launched Playstore after the system came up, and browsed around

a bit and then returned to 'Home'.

Get this: the screens that had been reset (or so I thought) were all back the way I had them yesterday before updating to 7.1.

(3) instead of the (2) screens that I had a few minutes ago before flashing.

Off to do the others now... Let's see if I can remember to do the GApps this time...

Thanks Gang,

this is great for everyone who still used their hp touchpad and completely annoyed with the wifi disconnect

When posting about problems with WiFi Disconnects please post the following:

- Make and model of your router, whether it is stock or has a modded ROM on it.

- Xbox, PS's, TV's any other devices connected.

- Other Android or Apple devices.

- 'Puters

This will help debug this problem.

I have (5) HPTP's. (3) on 7.x, and none of them are suffering from WiFi disconnect. (I probably just jinxed that...)

I'm starting to suspect other problems that are affecting the TP's connection.

I was over at an acquaintance's house this week. They had just put in a new modem/router from TDS, and are having all sorts of connection

issues on darn near everything. I took a quick stab at it and just changed the channels on the 2.4 and 5 ranges.

Managed to get the phones and tablets, (Android & Apple) and the PC to connect, but didn't bother with the game consoles or the two TVs...

Then last night I was over on dd-wrt looking to mod my latest Netgear acquisition and was reading one thread where they were discussing devices disconnecting from the router due to a myriad of factors.

So I wonder if perhaps we're looking in the wrong direction.

We do need more detailed input and then maybe we might find a solution for this problem.

Maybe the radio on the TP is getting nailed by something newer...

Hi Dan, nevertells2,

I have a Proximus (belgium) BBOX3 which is a Sagemcom F@st 3864.

I have a dozen of devices connected frmo iphone, PC's, Android tablets, Touchpads in earlier versions, all fine

Only this latest "evervolv ev_tenderloin-eng 7.1 NDE63X 215 test-keys "doesn't connect to it.

I tried another router, and yes it connects to it ... so seems there is some kind of incompatibility.

What I noticed on the Tpad:

It shows 1Mb speed, while I'm just near the router, and all other devices have much higher speeds. 2.4 Ghz, WPA2 PSK, signal strenght excellent.

It goes in Connected, Obtaining an IP address rssi:50, score=57, tx=9,4,0n0n0n0 rx=24,9 , NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_DHCP_FAILURE=1, 2, ... then then ends with IP Configuration Failure (1) : NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_DHCP_FAILURE=5)

hope this helps :)

This particular incompatibility may have to remain an unsolved mystery. You have a unique piece of hardware that a developer would have to have one of to be able to sort out the incompatibility between your DSL Wi-Fi modem and this Rom. Your solution may be to have to use an older version of this Rom since you state that they work. Good luck.

Interesting modem/router. Came up with a bunch of search hits in Australia.

It would appear that the 'F@ST' is a misnomer. :) Seems like it might be a bit of a lackluster device.
