Yeah, Flintman is a tad busy with other things along with taking care of the nightlies for here.

Roland has some valid links in his post over -here-

Sometimes development moves faster than posts can be updated.

I was just about to dirty flash another of mine to 12.11 when I noticed in your post that 12.13 was available...

so now I'm going to go grab 12.13 and flash it and then I'll check out calendar on it and see if I can get any of these to show the wi-fi issue.

We were doing a movie night last night and I'm laying there with three TP's surrounding us - surfing with them trying to get the wi-fi issue

to show up to no avail. The Roku however did start buffering quite a bit.

(And my Honey did ask if maybe, just maybe I was a bit overboard with the tablets. :) )

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Just dirty flashed the remaining two.

One from 7.0 to 7.1.1/12.13 w/ 7.1 GApps 'mini' -- the other from 7.1/12.02 to 7.1.1/12.13 also

Calendar is functioning fine on both. However both are laggy as heck.

I may just melt both down and re-do 'em like the other.

I need to come up with a log script to poll the wifi and see if I am getting _any_ disconnects.

I haven't seen any disconnects so far on any of them.

I flashed the last two yesterday afternoon. Then last night I decided to install a gigabit switch into our network.

It would seem that when disconnecting and moving around the netgear router (3x), various devices would of course disconnect.

The three tablets on v7.x would not reconnect automatically as well as an old Moto phone being utilized for pandora.

Main phones and other tablets (v4.x & v5.x) along with the Roku did however reconnect fine.

So perhaps a bit more controlled testing of this and I might be able to determine something.

Hptouchpad is a dual band WiFi capable device. Hence my request for the developers is to try to provide the same in this great rom by evervolve.

Dual bands (2.4g and 5g) work for me with this rom.
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
hey everone. IMO for my usage this ROM is 99% perfect for me...the 1% is i dont get video from various sites...vine, veimo, hub, nfl, yahoo.

Yet Youtube website works fine, all others no so good. I do see the video popup with arrow showing to start. tap that and nothing happenings.

Decided to check video on all versions....

I ran the gambit of ROMS back 2 back to check video only, (thanks to the Toolkit and Rolands links)

These Roms were all installed complete fresh with proper open_gapps pico version, 4.4 (jc), 5.1(pac), 6.0(evervolv) no video issues

7.0 and 7.1. Both still have the video issue within the browser,

chrome, dolphin, firefox,

Would anyone know what could cause this or another way to confirm outside the bulldoze of ROM flashes

HPTP fan since the beginning.

thanks much,

I tried installing all of the December builds of 7.1.1 as well as the 12-02 and 11-29 7.1 builds, however, every time I install those builds I get a "system UI is not working" error. I am unable to install the newest versions of Evervolv to my tablet for some reason. Does anyone have suggestions?

The only version that worked was 11-24, but that is not available on the nightly page. Does anyone have a link to the 11-24 build? I do not have it anymore, unfortunately.

I would appreciate either a suggestion for how to fix the system UI not working or an upload to the 7.1, 11-24 build.

Thank you!
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
By the sounds of your issue, I would suggest doing a clean flash with updated gapps.
[TouchPad Development] deathsaber99:
I tried wiping system and flashing 12-15 with 7.1 gapps, but it still gave me the same error. I went back to 10-27 because that is the earliest link I could find in the OP. Do you recommend just completely starting over (wiping all my data) to flash the latest nightlies? I never had an issue flashing until 11-29. 11-24 ran perfectly for me.

I flashed 11-24 and used it for a week, then I flashed 12-02 and system ui kept stopping. Then I flashing 11-24 once more and it worked nicely. And now I tried to flash every rom since 12-02 and the system ui keeps giving me an error. 10-27, however, does not.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Your GApps is whacked. Same thing happened to me. Installed EV7.1 without paying attention and also installing the OPEN GApps for 7.1

Version mismatched. Need to flash the latest GApps.

Then I'd do as Elginsk8r suggested - Clean install. I'm attempting to finish my three tablets tonight...

Sounds like maybe something went wrong with the clean install and 'wiping'. Something must have hung around.

DRM and Widevine

Hello,

Sorry for the innocent question (I haven't found any relevant post in this thread) but is it possible to make DRM work with Evervolv ?

I am especially interested to have Widevine on my HP Touchpad in order to be able to see some protected TV stream.

Thanks in advance,

I installed the first 7.1.1 evervolv build, but the new emoticons aren't there. Does this build just not include the new unicode version?

Widevine requires support in hardware which the TouchPad does not have.

[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
I do not know what 'Widevine' is (my bad) but I'm wondering if PlayOn might function as a work-around.

We have it installed on a Win7/64 box and use it to feed the Roku, Touchpads, and Nexus' (and the Kidz phone when he comes around.)

One downside is it costs around $40(lifetime), which is a bit cheaper than I paid a few years ago....

I broke 7.1 by messing with the battery icon with toolbox settings and system ui crashed. Only fix was factory wipe. I didn't need to reflash system. As a matter of fact, it didn't help to wipe system and reflash. I had to wipe data.
[TouchPad Development] deathsaber99:
I have TWRP v. 2.8.3.0; I am currently running 10-27 which is 7.0, with 7.0 gapps. I cannot upgrade to anything past 11-24 or else I get a system UI failure. Which sucks because this never happened before.

Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

That is interesting, I also messed with the battery icon and system ui crashed after that... 11-29 added the messing around with battery icon and after that my system did not work.

Shouldn't there be another fix besides a factory wipe? It seems like it should be easy to fix....
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
Video playback in gallery (and possibly other apps) has been fixed. Patch will be included in the 12-17 build.
[TouchPad Development] athlonxp2300:
You should have updated twrp to 3020 as part of the 7.1 install.

There might be a way to restore system settings to default by deleting something specific from the data partition but i don't know what it is.

Flash the updated twrp, reboot to new twrp. wipe data and system and both cache and dalvik. Then flash 7.1 and gapps. Boot to system, setup the device without changing any interface. Then reboot twrp and make a nandriod. Then you can try customizing the layout and if you break system ui again just restore nandroid.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Just adding to what AthlonXP2300 stated, You'll need to have 3.0.2.0 installed. It needs to be flashed using TWRP in recovery and not with ToolBox.

Roland has links to Flintman's TWRP version in his GoBy thread -HERE-

You also need to be sure to use an Open GApps Package that is for version 7.1 and not 7.0

I flashed to 7.1 but didn't flash a proper 7.1 GApps and I had all sorts of crashes.

You could try flashing TWRP 3.0.2.0 and then flash an OpenGApps package and see if that cures your issues.

I was having issues with dirty flashing from 7.0 to 7.1 so I decided to start from scratch and start clean.

I wiped all three tablets and went from there.

Advance Wiped them. I had one of mine the other night that needed double wiping for some odd reason.

I had performed the system wipe and then had to also go in and wipe Data, System and Caches individually.

I was also converting partitions over to F2FS at the time so that might have been the cause of my issues.

[TouchPad Development] deathsaber99:
Flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0, wiped system and tried to reflash 12-16 with 7.1 gapps, same system UI not working message. Had to go back and restore to 10-27.

If I wipe data, is there any way to restore all of my apps, games, and books? Or once you wipe you lose all of your recoveries and data permanently?

Edit: wiped data, system, cache, and dalvik and installed 12-16, it works perfectly. It actually runs far better than 10-27 or 11-24 ever did. I kept all of my data, but have to reinstall my apps.

I made a backup so if I mess with settings I can go back.

Thank you for all of your help!

After a day of using 12-16, the biggest comment that I have is that the touch constantly cuts out. I have to turn off and on the screen fairly often, as often as the early day of android 6.0.

I could not find this information anywhere in this thread: I am currently on jcsullin's modification of Cyanogenmod 4.4.4.

USB issues

Has anyone looked into updating the USB driver? Guessing that the original driver was OHCI, UHCI, or most likely EHCI. Updating the drivers to xHCI would make it a lot more compatible for newer PCs as it would make it more likely for the host to switch to the proper USB 2 mode.

I found that my TP Nougat readily connects to older PCs that only have USB 2.0 ports, but has trouble with computers with both USB 2 and 3, or USB 3 only. Messing around with my BIOS settings suggest that it is an EHCI compatibility issue.

The three I've got on 7.x went stupid the other day. Didn't want to connect to any cable on any port on the back of the Mobo.

Two would connect off the front USB ports that were hooked to the USB2.0 header, but not on the other FP connectors that are on an adapter to the 3.0 header.

Then one won't connect at all anywhere on the desktop, but does on a ol' Dell Latitude.

The other two HPTPs on 4.4.4 work fine on all. Thought I was losing my mind.

Evervolv boots forever

Hi,

I just tried to install the latest version from 2016-10-27 newly on my Touchpad.

I did a clean install as described here and everything seemed to work fine.

But when I now try to boot the evervolv I just get a colourful blinking Evervolv written on the display which changes colours since about 30 minutes now.

Does someone has an idea, what went wrong and how I can get this version of evervolv to boot on my device?

Grab the latest 7.1.1 and the corresponding OpenGApps package and do a clean install.

[TouchPad Development] RolandDeschain79:
Don't forget to post in the new thread with bug reports

I'm testing out the Evervolv updater now, haven't had a problem yet but I'll post back if I have a reboot . Would you mind posting about the issue @ Flintmans new forums here: He will need a logcat or Dmesg to fix the issue, you can make one from Settings/Toolbox/bug Report.

Edit:-Nightly2016.12.26 auto flashed fine for me but nightly-2016.12.27 caused me to go into a bootloop. I was testing the newer TWRP 3.0.3.0, not sure if thats a factor. Reflashed the rom from recovery and it was fine.

Which version of TWRP? Did you check the MD5 of the Rom zip file? You said you tried flashing this Rom, you need to be specific. State the full name of the build.

Thanks NT,

Just came back on from a complete data reset in tptb. The problem was the lack of space in the boot volume. I guess it was because I had the tptb.uImage in there.

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Hum? With WebOS removed there is a lot of space left in /boot. Now that you have everything installed and working OK, check the amount of space left in /boot and see if the TPTB uImage will still fit. If it will, just copy and paste it in /boot. Some versions of TWRP are so big that they eat up too much space. I think Flintman created a reduced size version of TWRP that would allow you to still get TPTB in there. Just for the record, I have 1.9mb left in /boot using Flintman's TWRP, I checked and yes there is a smaller version on the OP. Worst case if you try to paste TPTB into /boot and it does not fit, the paste action will fail. The version of TWRP I have installed is 7.8mb in size.

[TouchPad Development] keenan316:
Hi NT,

The one I flashed is the smaller one he mentioned in the first post. I think I still have WebOS on it.. :eek: I'll have a look tonight.

Does this rom also have the cm theak that changes the volume button around in landscape? Looked, but couldn't find it anywhere..
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
You said you did a complete data reset, that removes WebOS. Try what I suggested and see what happens.

I'm not running this particular Rom, but I can't imagine that Flintman left out the ability to reorient the volume button. Maybe he'll jump in here and tell you where it is at. Being that this is a AOSP Rom, it may not have that particular tweak in it unless Flintman cherry picked it.

[TouchPad Development] ralforle:
Thank you,

with the first try I had the same issue, but then I found the mistake.

I tried to flash the ROM and the gapps in one go together and that doesn't work.

When I first flashed the ROM, booted it and then rebooted to TWRP to flash also the gapps, it works.

The only issue I have now with this 7.1.1 ROM is that it always shows the battery at 100% until the device suddenly dies due to an empty battery.

Is there any hint, why it does not show the correct battery status?

I have been having a few problems that makes the touchpad unusable with this rom. When zi say "this rom" I refer to the latest 3 nightlies.

If the touchpad has been in sleep for a while and waked for use there is no sound until I reboot.

Sadly, after the 3rd or forth reboot I get a "UI stopped responding" error which leaves the touchpad completely useless until I boot to recovery and wipe data.

Are these common issues? Can they be overcome?

Reset the tablet and I followed the steps giving 2048MB for the system using nightly 12/31 or 26th but as soon as I setup the WiFi, the tablet reboots and would at times freeze on the lock screen.

Sometimes (not always) my Touchpad will go to sleep and won't wake from sleep. I have to hard reset the Touchpad by holding the home and power buttons for several seconds.

I want to hide root from some apps, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I've tried installing supersu and suhide, but the install doesn't work for some reason. I've tried other su hiding apps, but none of them work. Is there a better way to hide root from apps?

I hadn't really tested the sound yet, so I downloaded YouTube on #One. I had sound but everything went crazy, and system stability went to h*ll.

I think that this is the first time I've tried YouTube in the last couple of weeks.

I have not yet had the pleasure of the ""UI stopped responding"" error. Has not shown up - yet on either of my three.

What thread were you following that had the 2048 steps in it?

All of mine have been running well with 2MB that I've had since the beginning.

Which GApps Version/Release did you use?

What is the make/model of the router that you're trying to connect to?

The latest is using 'SUDO' not SU or SUPERSU. Look under >Settings down towards the bottom.
[TouchPad Development] prican25:
2MB? I sure thats a mistake as the first page says to set it as 1312MB and I had mine set at 1344MB at one point but kept rebooting/freeezing and then I followed Roland's guide which suggested giving it more space. So following his steps was freeing 1024MB from data and the TPtool V42 already had 1024MB set for the system after wiping it again so now it's 2048MB. The Gapps I used was opengapps pico 12/31 and my router is an Asus RT-AC68U.

Edit: got it working now as before I didn't run the older OS when the install was done and I was doing a pure clean install which it doesn't seem to like. only problem I got so far is the clock not working for some odd reason.

This rom and device really are awesome. Year after year I still can't believe this thing is still running. Anyways, to that point my device is just running so slow these days. Is there anything I can do or any tips/tricks to speed this puppy up? What frequency min/max and governor are you guys using?

I feel like if I clock the max over 1400 it slows down to a crawl. I'm going to try that SKZ kernel.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Are you wanting a mature, stable well vetted Rom or something bleeding edge, highly experimental with lots of little bugs messing with you? If you want to stay with an Evervolv based Rom, try dropping back to an older dated build of 7.1 or even Nougat 7.0. You've got to read these thread thoroughly to get a feel for which builds run the best with the least issues. If Evervolv is not a priority, then I would suggest something like J.C. Sullin's CM11 for a rock solid Rom. And with most of these builds, you can clock it up to 1782mhz on the high end and it's usually recommend to keep the lower speed at around 400mhz. Most builds come set at something close to that already. As to tips and tricks, by reading these threads, you will find lots of them suggested by others that have already tried them.

Happy New Year,
