Hello sakdriod,

Nevertells2 and I worked on a link about a year ago, and I just updated it on 2/1/2018, so it has 3 version packages to install: Oreo, Nougat or Marshmallow its your choice but I updated all links needed to install any version of Android.

Maybe I will also include Lollipop and KitKat at a later date, but these two version usually can be installed by TPTB....

Nevermind, I got it to work, but when I say boot Evervolv, it is on a black screen. Please help!

[TouchPad Development] ThatAnonymousGuy:
Yeah, that's the way I flashed it, so it didn't really help. Anything else that could help me?

TouchPad Toolbox was never updated for versions of Android much past KK. Try this method, it works great for any Rom of any build of Android:

[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Seems folks trying to flash Evervolv 7.0 via TPTB are having difficulties. Which leads me to the question... why are people trying to flash via TPTB? Seems flashing ROMs using TWRP is straightforward, easy, and successful. Coming from a different ROM, wimply full wipe (system, data, dalvic, and cache), install ROM, install Gapps, wipe dalvic and cache just for good luck, and boom, there you go.

Am I missing why flashing via TPTB is needed?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
TPTB is only needed if you want to completely wipe your device meaning removal of webos, you messed up your device you messed up recovery, and of course flashing A6. I only installed via TPTB once, when it first came out to remove webos.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I've found TWRP (newest) boots up Much quicker than the older version in getting to a usable menu, like at least 30 seconds faster. I've noticed the OS also boots through the initial, colorful Evervolv logo much quicker to get to the basic menu.

External SD memory volume

I noticed when booting the device that a USB trident icon appears in the upper left corner. This seems to be the new way to mount the FAT32 external memory of volume, which contains ttinstall, Android, TWRP and a few other directories. If you dismiss this icon, you also dismount this volume and lose access to this data by various apps UNTIL you reboot again, when it comes back. I don't know if any initiative will be started to bring back the old silent volume mount procedure... Or even if this idea is possible. As it is, the little icon only takes one position in the top bar, so no big deal to leave there. Once this icon is configured to share data (top, first choice), all data seems to be visible to all apps.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Same. If someone is already running a version of android, the only thing tptb is needed for is resizing partitions to get N. Twrp is used for everything else
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Exactly, wipe the tablet, re-size the partitions, and then flash on a version of TWRP that can then in turn flash

the latest from FM.

BTW, I tried flashing OpenGApps-'Mini' and it worked.

I cranked my processor down to ~1200 - No BlueScreen in the last hour. A tad doggy at 1200 vs. 1500.

Need to figure out the cause of the BlueScreen.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I've been running at 1728 since yesterday, and never seen a blue screen. Not had one at all on N, even before overclock. Super zippy at 1728
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
The BlueScreen has been happening on this one since I picked it up. CM11, CM12, and now Nougat.

It has to be hardware related.

While it's booting up it'll flash the bluescreen right after moboot selection but doesn't lockup.

The lockups occur while in use.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
I've been setting processor min to lowest setting and max to highest setting. As the OS throttles processor speed based on demand, it ramps up and down all the time. Unless you are running some extensive analysis program (boinc, seti@home, etc), the processors will go fast when needed and slow down when not urgently needed. So they don't run hot all the time. I've been using this for some time, without obvious harm to the hw or performance impact.

If anyone has better advice why this shouldn't be done, please, please bring it on.
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I see what you are saying. Yeah, I get blue screen on boot but I don't pay it any mind. I have always figured that was due to the bootloader moboot mix. As far as the lock ups, I had one this morning, but not since I installed the leaked Nexus launcher. Not saying its related, just not happened since.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Google play services missing

I'm seeing Google play services appear missing. Screenshot and system logs attached. Even though various apps (BlueMail, tapatalk, etc) complain about push service missing, they still seem to work OK once you get through the initial pop-up.

I flashed the new 9/9 release of N over the 9/6 version using newest TWRP in manual mode (I miss the updater) around noon today.

Ops! Tapatalk won't let me select the syslog zip file to attach. I'll add it when I figure this out...

Update: I've rebooted, same experience. Tapatalk app and web site can't seem to read the zip log file to attach here. I will next go back to refresh the same version from 9/9 this time with gapps nano included. I didn't include it today as well it was just installed a day or so ago. I thought it should have carried over the gapps utilities. Oh, well, live and learn.

Update 2: refreshed same OS 9/9 version + gapps again and Google play service errors are gone. Problem solved, but issue with tapatalk not picking zip log file remains open. Is it forbidden to upload zip files to this forum?
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
Love how you can do a split screen in Nougat!
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Edit: Sorry, thought it was a question, lol
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
It should only be be needed once. But on one of my Touchpads, the System partition wouldn't mount in an older TWRP to flash anything. The TP toolbox full reset saved me.
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Very minor observation on background image

Nougat 9/9 with gasps recommended in OP

I've noticed whenever I exit any app and go back to base desktop, the top icon row briefly flashes orange, then goes to whatever my background image should be. It's only for a second or less and might be related to my use of Nova launcher tool. I haven't tried the default launcher3. Not a problem, just an observation. Very, very minor thing that's new.
[TouchPad Development] db_white:
Screen freeze log w/ 9-9 ALPHA

Here you go... Wasn't up long before the touch sensor went offline, so shouldn't have much to wade through. (Again running Flipboard when an ad popped up.) There's at least one SEG fault in there. This occurred while Touchpad was overclocked to the max. Will reduce the max clock back to 1500's to see if it makes it less likely to occur. Thanks for all of your efforts!
[TouchPad Development] sdemun:
Ok... So I dirty flashed 09-09 on top of 09-06. 09-06 was a clean install.

Everything seems lightning fast and very smooth.

However, BT is still a no go for me. Now when I try to pair a BT device BT turns itself off. I have tried this in normal mode as well as safe mode several times to no avail?

You guys think I should clean install 09-09? Or maybe go back to 09-06, pair BT devices, then dirty flash 09-09 again? Or maybe something else I should try that I haven't thought of?
[TouchPad Development] muerte33:
I dirty flashed both of them.

On the 9/6 I could not get BT to work.

On the 9/9 it works.

I only used my external BT speaker though, I have not tried the keyboard or mouse.

UPDATE 9/10/2016:

Turned on my HP BT keyboard and my Logitech BT mouse, and they both connected immediately.

Looks like BT works fine on mine.

Thanks Flintman and crew!

On another front.....

Have the September security updates been released to AOSP yet?
[TouchPad Development] wingerxda:
Flintman, I noticed the same system size issue with your nougat from.

Before flash your ROM, I resized the system partition to 1500 MB. After flash your ROM, the system size eas reduced to about 1260 MB automatically.

In the past with your marshmallow ROM, system partition was also always reduced to 800 MB after flashing.

The issue is not from happening because reflashing only gapps won't resize the system, only when I flash your ROM.

Can you look into why flashing the ROM would reduce the size of system?
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
09-09 is out?! I gotta pay attention...

Been messing around with all of mine all day and didn't even notice that Flintman had released it this morning.

I'll attempt a (hopefully) clean install since I'm still trying to figure out this BlueScreen lockup problem.

It has to be a problem with the hardware, most likely the system board, since I swapped out all the other boards.

Question gang: Which launcher should I be using? It's prompting for Launcher3 or Google Now Launcher wheenever I hit the home button.

Never even heard of 'Google Now'...
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Could not hurt to try google now launcher. Since I installed and started using nexus launcher instead of launcher3, I have not had a single screen lockup. A little over 24 hous now.

HPTP owner and lover since the beginning! Always waited to do the updates to give them some time to iron out but no, couldn't wait had to install Oreo...all went well with no hiccups...

full format and fresh flash, no gapps installed or SU.

The however....battery life is less than 24hrs and that's without even using it, it sat idle and was dead the next day...fully recharged and overnight was down to 44% in the morning.

Re flashed back to 7.1 for now.

Kudos the devs and there dedication, making this tablet holds its own...honestly now, is there any other tablet today that can do what this tablet has done!

Hello Rich,

Yes Nevertells2 gave you the best link for Oreo, but also there is a small thread starting on XDA here: DIRTY UNICORN 8.1

Also Here is my experience with Oreo so far....My battery is fine, at rest getting about -5 mA see pic below in download section.

Also once in a while when HP Touchpad is sleeping, it gets around -135 mA and it does drain the battery quickly, but to fix this run "Reflash A6 Firmware" selection from the TPTB, and this fixes it.

See pic in download section below. Run this every few months for good battery maintenance.

Please install the app "3C Battery Monitor", and give us a snapshot of a period of time, and lets see what your drainage uA is....

See my 3rd download below for my example of a "bad battery drain" for me....
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
Hey all thanks for feedback, been a busy week, not much time.

I'll switch over to the new thread, read whats there and see where i can improve.

Going to flash the A6 firmware and see if that helps as well.

Thanks for the support

Include at least a mention of the procedure used for flashing and files. If audio functions on one build but not others then it sounds like something possibly done outside of the normal process that's causing the audio to not work.

My media I keep larger and I have less less data but but beyond that everything looks good. I'm not sure what's causing the sound issue. If that doesn't help it then fully wiping through TPTB and starting fresh is always fun. TWRP and Titanium Backup are your friends.

[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
If audio is functioning in 4.4.4 still then fully wiping through TouchPad Toolbox and starting fresh with a full clean install for more recent builds of N or O with partitions reset for their correct sizes, is my best bet. It worked for me when mine was in a permanent boot loop. Mine has also refused to turn on for months at a time before. Try everything and always try it clean. These tablets seem to be immortal.

I am currently running the Nov 3rd 2017 compile of Evervolv (Android 7.1.2). Where can I download newer, working versions prior to the changeover to 8.x code base? I have tried the Evervolv 8.x versions from the updater as well as Dirty Unicorn and neither work correctly on my device nor have all the functionality I need. I would like to get my hands on the last couple of 7.1.x or 7.x.x releases before the 8.x switch.

Thanks,

[TouchPad Development] metai:
2017-11-03 was the last Evervolv nightly of 7.x before they moved on to 8.x and Dirty Unicorns. See http://archive.evervolv.com/builds/nightly/ So the answer would be, "nowhere."

And I agree with your sentiment. Compared to that latest 7.1.2 Evervolv build which is running great, all the 8.x builds, up to and including the second RC build of Dirty Unicorns, have been showing nowhere near the performance for me. I'm having real issues with sluggish UI and horribly choppy video playback. Which is curious because there are people saying "they are so much better than any Evervolv releases before."
[TouchPad Development] TheEditor:
Thanks for the info and the link to the archive. I have the 11/03 compile running and find it has some seriously sluggishness also. I am wondering if there is a good version prior to it? If 8.x didn't has constant failures of things like youtube and the keyboard it wouldn't be bad. Sadly on my device I get those errors while I don't on 7.x.
[TouchPad Development] Geomatic:
Try Milaq's KitKat ROM. IMHO it's better than jcsullins one; also due to the most recent security patches. Updated every 1st of each month.

On the latest N build I'm using the app L Speed along with Kernel Adiutor and setting things for single app functionality over multitasking with ram clearing happening to force things to stay quick. I've also minimized how many apps are installed and use lite versions whenever possible. It's not perfect but for a non android device originally from 8+ years ago running a recent version of of Android, this is definitely usable for me.

I forgot, I'm using SKZ kernel also for performance adjustability also.

The Everovolv 7.1.2 Has the lag factor but I have found out how to use it enough for a few streaming audio thing I do with it.

Have one on DU 12.5 and so far that seems pretty nice as Mr. Bill (Flintman) seems to have a way with these HP Touchpad Piglets.....

Hi Lip, I've sent you an email regarding your issue booting after flashing dirty unicorns v8 rom. Not sure you have read it yet or not.

I copied my email below:

Hi Lip, I saw your posts about having problem to boot after upgrading the dirty unihorns rom on your touchpad. I noticed your error message about CRC. I never got it resolved until tonight. I posted the error on the google plus community a few months ago without any feedback from others. The problem seems to be the boot partition running out of space. I deleted the tptoolbox file from /boot. I then flashed the zip files and was able to boot successfully. I did not want to register to get an account to post.

So i send you an email instead. Hope it helps

I got back a different way though.

I had an early backup of the EV 7.1.2 and I restored Boot and System and not data.

That got things working again and now I just flashed back the 7.1.2 2017-11-03 EV that was on the tablet before I got off track.

Questions is.....if I get rid of TPtoolbox and try to Dirty flash over the EV again......after the thing settles out and has the DU rom on it, will I have enough room to get the TPTOOLBOX back on the /boot?

I find the tool invaluable if just for the A6 flash routine.

I have the one tablet that I have DU on giving me -2 and -3 ma nominal standby current, which is totally optimal.....

I am still messin around. Thanks so much for the feedback / help.

[TouchPad Development] TopTongueBarry:
I've been trying to find the best overall ROM for my Touchpad 4G that would support the TV streaming apps like ABC and DirecTV, as well as Sunday Ticket. None of these run on KitKat any longer.

Other than setup crashing after trying out the vision settings before embarking on first setup, this ROM rocks! A restart solved the setup problem, just remember not to try out the vision settings before getting started with initial setup of this ROM.

Have not tested the camera because supposedly it does not work, but I plan to install open camera and will cross my fingers for positive results.

Thank you to the Evervolv team for keeping the 4G version current. I'm anxious to try the new DU version of Oreo for the Touchpad 4G if they can release it before they embark on Pie development for this device.

TTB :)

I was too hasty with this post. Video is so bad can't use it. everything else works pretty darn well, but after all I was expecting the videpo to work as well too. I am almost ready to give up on the HP Touchpad now. 4.4 KK is no longer supported by many streaming apps. IDK what to do except maybe hope the Oreo or Pie builds somehow resolve these deficiencies seen in everything built after JC Sullins 4.4 KK build.
