Continuious EVERVOLV Screen

I had to start from scratch as well. I did it as said here. and went online installed as said in above, yet my screen remains on the boot EVERVOLV.. any Ideas?

on another note, why is he saying best to use jc toolbox if it cant be done?

the over the air is only option I have had that works least to this end?

Im just stuck in boot loop maybe? its been almost an hour no change..

here is the steps I ran in order,

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

10. Worship [MENTION=2763462]jcsullins[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION], as they are your gods.

Yes so mant Thanks to Flintman and JC Sulivan, theres no way I'd been so lucky.. thanks to you as well. please let me know what I may can do? thanks..

Will this work with my TouchPad Go?
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Unfortunately not... I would have gone for a TP GO when this would work, but it does not. TP GO is a different hardware and so will these ROMs not work for the little brother.

W0w them Gapps is PHR3SH!

Oh my LORD hehe so much activity. Stepped away from things for a few days and you are onto mostly stable releases of this 7 shizm00? 8)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am going to boldly PHILTHY PHLASH this onto one of the three Aug 22nd 2016 AOSP 6.0.1 Touchpads I am running. I will first run the file system checks and I am staying with EXT partitions all around for stabilities' sake and for having access to the TPTB v4.2 Check Android Volumes fsck script. Can't beat that with a stick! Heh.

I will let you know how the PHILTHY PHLASH goes.

OH MY LORD Kodi with the Exodus plugin is fabulous. Whips screens of tiled video title pages up nicely and scrolls them nice once loaded. Movies pop right up on 1080p and skating around the timeline is close to instantaneous. Absolutely stellar. The playback seems flawless as well. Absolutely flawless. Heh. Looooooov3 it!

Jeeze Flintman AMORE!

AMORE!
[TouchPad Development] alan242:
Well, I flashed it in a slightly roundabout way. This may not be the shortest path, but it worked for me.

I have a 32GB Touchpad. It only had WebOS 3.0.5. It did have other ROMs on it but I had to wipe it completely more than a year ago to clean it up before the auth servers went away. I know, I'll wipe WebOS some day, but for now it is good to have a backup OS in case things go south. With that in mind...

I ran ACMEInstaller3 to create the Android partitions. Next, TPToolbox was used to resize the partitions like so

Media down to 24392 (-1748)

Cache up to 456 (+ 256)

Data up to 1792 (+ 256)

System up to 1536 (+1236)

Unalloc 16 (+ 0)

moboot_0.3.5.zip and update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip were copied to a cminstall directory on media and ev_tenderloin-7.0-testing-2016.09.09.zip, FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.0.2.0-09-06-16.zip and nano-gapps were copied to the media root directory.

I then ran ACMEInstaller5 to install moboot and CWM. Rebooted the touchpad and selected CWM via moboot. CWM was used to install TWRP over CWM. Rebooted again to launch TWRP. Then once in TWRP, I flashed evervolv and nano-gapps. Then rebooted to evervolv. I have since upgraded to the 09-11 ROM and TWRP.

So far the only oddity I have had is Chromium freezing when some tabs are closed. Turning the screen off and then on again seems to fix it. I thought it might be a Chromium bug, so I installed Chrome from the play store and had it freeze too. When the browser freezes, other apps remain responsive and I can switch to them without having to turn the screen off/on. I have wiped both caches to see if there is some corruption that is causing the freeze. If it comes up again, I'll see if I can get logs around when it happens.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Better start over and read it all the way through. You're going to have to use TPTB to partition for Nougat.

Go read post #54 and then take a minute sorting out the procedure.

use the v09.11's for everything.

You didn't provide any details on which ROM you are coming from or if you're attempting a Clean or Dirty flash.

I Wiped everything with TPTB then set up the partitions, then flashed older three files as mentioned, and then came

V09.11 of the ROM and then GApps.

_Dan
[TouchPad Development] deafasheck:
I was coming from those three mentioned in the starting from scratch. how do I upload a debug file?
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Upload might be busted for some users. I've haven't been able to upload any type of file. You'll probably end up having to upload it to GDrive or something similar.

I've done three tablets so far and while it does take awhile to boot up the first time, I haven't had it go more than 10-15 mins.

You did the "Complete Data Reset" under TPTB? I would load TPTB or TWRP and verify that /system is around 1500. Mine came out at 1322MB.
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
The OP states to use the TP Toolbox for increasing the System partition only, and only if you already have Moboot/TWRP installed. Otherwise you would have to use my guide.

But, correct me if I'm wrong [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION], the newest ROM has an integrated install script that increases the System parition size for you while in TWRP if the partition is too small?
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Min cpu speed changes on reboot

Flintman, please check out this observation with Nougat 9/11, gapps as listed in OP.

* in settings, toolbox, performance, min cpu speed, set to lowest figure=192

* set max cpu speed to highest value=1782 (or thereabouts)

* verify the small toggle switch in lower right corner is switched to the right (same color as bar background, hard to notice it) to reset values on reboot

* reboot TP

* go back into performance menu to verify the values for min/max cpu speed

* I've found the minimum speed resets to high value, around 1190. Max cpu speed comes back as I had previously set it.

Why would the min cpu speed change to a much higher value? This has the effect of consuming the battery MUCH faster. I now have to go back into this menu to reset the value manually after every reboot.

I had understood the cpu speed would float automatically as usage needs; so if I'm not using any app, the system slows down to the minimum and as apps run and need attention, the cpu ramps up to the maximum set in this performance settings. Am I wrong in understanding how the TP works at a fairly low level?

Is there any drawback to choosing the min/max values with greatest separation to give the battery longer life for a lightly loaded device and snappier performance when needed?

WiFi dropping

Anyone else having WiFi disconnects randomnly?
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Yes. Me too... Just did a complete wipe and started from scratch with 09/11 ROM, 3.0.2.0-09-11-16 TWRP and pico-20160912 OpenGapps.

Worked around 2 hours now on the tablet and got 3 lost WiFi connections. Selected it manually again and connection immediately was there again. No further problems so far.

Will have to test more...

Thanks [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] for your efforts! Keep up the great work! :highfive:
[TouchPad Development] tahawk69:
Clean installed 9/11 rom, pico Gapps and pixel launcher. No wifi problems or issues w/ CPU frequency resetting on reboots. Battery drain is nowhere as good as Marshmallow, but just reflashed A6 firmware. Hope that helps.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

On a side note pixel launcher is running great on tp. I like the edge swipe for Google now.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Just a thought, but it might help if we list our router make/model#.

I swapped out routers yesterday and now just (2) of the (3) TouchPads are dropping, (maybe). I haven't pinned it down quite yet.

Still having other issues so it is probably not the ROM's fault.

Previous Router:

Netgear N300 WNR2000v2

Current Router:

Netgear N900 WNDR4500v2

Off Subject: Did you know Google polls and stashes your router's MAC address and uses that for 'Location Services'?

The N900 is used and most of my devices show this router's original location in G Maps, and in apps needing location.

Yet another frustration. :)
[TouchPad Development] deftoner:
A friend just gave me this hp touchpad that found in a box on the attic. I came here looking up for help, since I couldn't use it, all the time "no internet" error, and searchign the web I found that HP cut off the support for the webos, so the tablet was unable to login and check thru the HP server. I follow your guide and did it perfectly. TANK YOU SO MUCH :) Its hard to take the time to make a guide and nobody take the time to thank it either. so, THANKS :)
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Dang, sitting in an attic and the Ol' TouchPad didn't have the "HPTP Battery Woes"... that's luck.

If you haven't done so already boot it backup into TPTB and perform the A6 Flash on it. Thread -=-HERE-=- if you need it.

_Dan
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
You're very welcome! I really appreciate the gratitude. Enjoy your "new" Touchpad! :cowboy:
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
I only get drops when the screen has been off a while (deep sleep, possibly doze). No disconnects during usage.

Router - Netgear Nighthawk R7500 AC2350
[TouchPad Development] Globaltraveler5565:
Have you checked the setting to keep the network On all the time? The default setting might be turning off the nic when in sleep mode. Just a thought...
[TouchPad Development] rebel1699:
Yeah, keep wi-fi on during sleep is set to "always". Its default. Honestly, it doesnt really bother me. A quick tap and it reconnects without issue.
[TouchPad Development] deafasheck:
I redone it and then done as said to do, yet I remain in EVERVOVL loop.. Flashed the twrp, wiped sys partion, installed the ROM and Gapps.. I can't find out how to save SD card to pc? If I can, then I will do fsf2 thingy.. I guess!

Totally out of my league.. But a guick study.. Thanks for the help..
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
Yes, I get them on both of my Touchpads. A manual reconnect temporarily solves it for me, but they continued to happen anywhere between 5 to 60 minutes. In an ADB terminal with Superuser root access I used the following command:

settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

This prevents the OS from dropping the Wifi connection if it thinks there is no internet. It seemed to reduce the amount of disconnects dramatically for me, but the issue still persists.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
[MENTION=6061535]AlwaysLucky[/MENTION] - Which router are you running on?

-=-

I went and swapped back to my previous router around 5pm. The google location snafu was bothersome.

Need to figure out how they are tracking a router that was hard reset, and completely re-configured.

Neither of the three have lost connection in the last 6+ hours. :good:
[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
I would have to agree with the likelihood of WiFi router/modem/etc being the cause of the drops. My 32gb WiFi model dropped connection often from JCSullins CM 4.4.4 to dirty flashed Evervolv MM and now that I finally clean flashed the Evervolv Nougat of my dreams there's a vast amount less issue. I experienced none of these drops before I moved to the Philippines and started using a Mobile WiFi Hotspot. Now when things do misbehave I have to reboot wifi hotspot or I obtain IP address forever and ever and never actually connect. The DHCP software on this so called alpha release (09.11) seems to be quite stable. I don't like suggesting it since it's a hassle but for constant repeating drops if you're not buying a new router/modem/etc then full wipe and completely fresh install with new downloaded files of rom and GApps. Also I'm suggesting this while using Banks Dynamic GApps instead of OP suggested Open GApps and having no problems.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
What type of encryption do you have on your wifi (wpa wpa2 etc)? Im trying to pin down the cause and I'm leaning toward an encryption problem. Im on wpa personal and never have the issue. Also how is your signal straight. I run a full mesh network on my house so i always have a strong signal. The logs aren't much help on this matter.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
In my case I am an a fresh install, WiFi is done atm with DHCP, TP has direct sight (max. 5m within the same room) to the router. Router is fixed on channel 8, WPA2 encryption. Additional repeaters are online, too. So I also have strong signals everywhere around.

Will test auto-channel configuration on the router until tomorrow to get more information. As a matter of fact, I just tested this TP with the WiFi Hotspot functionality of my good'ol HTC Sensation due to no other available WiFi Router atm. With the HTC as the connected router, the WiFi does not drop (at least for the last 2 hours). Hmmm... The HTC is configured to use WPA2 with AES encryption...
[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK on my mobile wifi that only drops connection a couple times a day and connects after rebooting said wifi.
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
For me, I've already ruled out the router/AP. It occurs to my Touchpads on both my routers, my phones hotspot, my gfs phones hotspot, and the hotspot in our SUV. I further pinned down the cause as the Touchpad when testing some app code I found the Touchpads would drop TCP connections, usually while the CPU/SoC was under load, but sometimes when idle. I assumed these two symptoms were connected somehow. However, after changing that setting, the issue is reduced for me to about once per 1-2 days; a tolerable level for me. Didn't really investigate why that helped and I had no idea others expierenced it too. I may be able to whip up a coded workaround for us. I'll also note that I only use a MAC filter and no encryption on my home router, and the issue occurs on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. My neighbors and the road arn't close enough to get the signal :)
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
Thanks for all of the investigation and your terrific tether app. It's a joy to add more to the touchpad list of tricks.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

The Nougat ROM has had dropped Wi-Fi on me only 2 times that I could notice immediately after flashing. Once I gave it time to settle,I don't encounter drops at home,work,or my mobile hotspot. I have WPA2 for all connections.
[TouchPad Development] fraydz:
being on WPA too, i didn't noticed any issue with wifi. it used to disconnect with evervolv 6 but so far so good.
[TouchPad Development] rm571:
The 6.0 ROM works very well after it gets settled in...I was on Lollipop then reset my partitions before installing the 6.0 from TWRP...worked very well as long as you do a wipe first...thanks guys....looking forward to DL the 7.0 when y'all get the kinks worked out...
[TouchPad Development] deafasheck:
Trying again

I followed each step you mentioned. if I can find out how to upload debug or info needed, also how to save sd card ? all I get as options to save is Internal or photos.. I''ll submit it. what I done in the installing was flashed the files that's all.. should I wipe any thing? reason asking is it shows wipe Cache Dalvik as an option I've wiped sys and installed, nothing. then I restarted and tried the wiped the davlvik it still remains in the flashing evervovl

I cant find this # 54 you mentioned.
[TouchPad Development] vik5:
9/11 build Wifi drops on mine too much security wpa/wpa2
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
If you booted strait into TWRP before letting it boot into the older version Android, there is nothing in the cache/dalvik to wipe. I'm not too clear on what the issue is for you. It won't complete the initial flashing of this ROM, or it won't boot to Evervolv?
[TouchPad Development] rfoster2009:
Is this a clean flash or a dirty flash? I did a clean flash and am not having major dropping issues like I did with 6.0.
[TouchPad Development] AlwaysLucky:
Possible workaround for Wifi connection drops

I whipped up this extremely simple signed app to attempt to reconnect the wifi once a wifi disconnect is detected. I also added an option to change the Captive Portal Detection setting (aka Internet detection). Disabling it helped my issue a lot. Hopefully a combination of the two options can help some of you out. It seems to be working great for me, but let me know if it works for you, or if your issue persists.

Edit: I just had 2 disconnects within an hour, so its back to square one I suppose.:(
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Almost 24hrs now after swapping out the N900 for the previous N300.

Neither of the (3) running during that time have lost connection.

My 4th one that I managed to get flashed around 5am has been solid also.

Could it perhaps be a combination of items?

_Dan
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Thanks! I will give it a try and report back tomorrow.

But remember that Captive Portal Detection disabled means, that you MAY not be able to connect to most of the public WiFi hotspots in hotels, airports and so on, whenever these hotspots have a captive portal for registration or similar. But having an app that could simply turn it on or off is beautiful for now of course (if this really solve one's problem with lost WiFi connection)! Thanks for your efforts! :good:
[TouchPad Development] deftoner:
Yup was dead, I leave it charging for 2 days (yup...) and the second day the wild screen recommending the original charger appears, an hour latter I could start it :D

Thanks for the advice, I will do that too. It works perfectly with android 7.!
[TouchPad Development] Gborg3:
The HPTP's simply hibernate for odd periods of time. Mine refused to 'wake up' for a bit over a year then randomly started working again. On EV 7 it works much better as long as I remember to reflash A6 battery firmware somewhat often and after updates.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

Just yesterday I noticed that my wife, our daughter, and my brother in law are able to pick up my TouchPad and immediately start using it with no questions, confusion or anything. English is not their first language since Tagalog, Yakan and Chavacano don't count as English. Yes, they're using an alpha release of a very recently released android version in a language only my wife mostly fully understands on an ex WebOS device that was discontinued and the single thing I suggested to them was if the screen becomes unresponsive then just turn the screen off, wait five seconds and turn screen back on. It's incredible. They are realistically android amateurs and you'd never know on this tablet running the 09 11 build. Flintman and Evervolv team you are truly incredible for making this happen
[TouchPad Development] vik5:
Clean flash my other hp touchpad with 5.1 same network same security works fine. Will see in coming updates
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
OK, quick feedback: i let the TP sit overnight for at least 9 hours now and WiFi was disconnected and again does not automatically reconnect, although the app was still in memory (I first cleared the recent apps list and the app was also gone). So no luck with it for now... :(
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Im working on a build with some more debugging for wifi in it. We have one little issue need to work out then ill release for testing and some logs 8) probably sometime later this afternoon
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Thanks [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION]!

Another feedback concerning bluetooth: connection with my Jabra Revo headphones failed. While pairing, bluetooth is at some point shut down and up again, but no connection so far. Audio is also killed with that. Had to reboot to get it back. After that, everything is fine again.
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
Ya i got a few BT fixes in this current test build im using, i was having that issue with my nexus 6 as well and that is fixed now.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Woow! Great news [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION]! What I experienced while connected the Revo via wire to the TP: I was not able to change the equalizer settings in the AudioFX app. I mean, I could change the sliders, but this had no effects. The same is true for selecting the predefined profiles. I tried it only with the "headphones" profile. I think, on the MM ROM, this worked... :confused:

What are your experiences with the AudioFX app?
[TouchPad Development] flintman:
New update a little more debugging is included in this for WIFI plus other stuff. If you have an issue with wifi as soon as it happens grab a dmesg and logcat please.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] crutzulee:
Thanks Flintman, Wifi had been working flawlessly at home on my 5g network but has been randomly dropping at work (making Netflix a no go lol..)

I've downloaded and am installing this newest build...

Thanks so much for your hard work!
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Thanks Flintman. Will install 9/17. I have been having a problem connecting and using a few favorite apps like XDA and Google+. Sometimes they connect but sometimes its like they don't have a wifi connection even though the wifi icon is showing a connection. Sometimes it works then stops working (again, as if its lost wifi). Hoping a full wipe and installing fresh will help. But just in case... what's a good/easy app for taking and delivering logcats?
[TouchPad Development] tpmusicplayer:
bt on 17/9

Dirty flashed 17/9 over 11/9 and tried bt with my banyan go speaker...not working - devices pairs and then bluetooth turns off (similar reports on earlier builds). Might try clean flash later, but meanwhile here's the logcat... Hope it helps!

Cannot believe how smooth everything else is. N seems much more stable than MM. Great work.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
[MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION]:

Can confirm, that bluetooth audio does not work with my JABRA EVO. Still tries to pair, but turns off bluetooth after a few seconds then turn it on again and thats it. Seems like nothing had changed (at least for me). AudioFX app still shows no influence to player audio (headphones connected via wire).

Other things tested:

- Boot menu is correct now and every item works as expected.

- Performance settings of Toolbox are correctly applied after reboot.

- WiFi seems to be better now. Will captive portals still work with the 17/9 ROM or did you turn it off?

- Integrated Updater is back, but still shows only updates for MM ROMs.

Other apps tested successfully:

- Swype keyboard

- Holo Launcher (has slight problems with slide-up gesture - will not show recent apps list when set as slide up gesture)

- SD Maid

- 3c Toolbox Pro

- AppMgr Pro III

- HD Widgets

- BSplayer Free

- Poweramp Pro

- Opera mini

- Amazon Kindle

- ES File Explorer Pro

- WiFi Manager Premium

- Office Suite Pro+PDF

- QuickPic

Great work so far. Have to test the 4G ROM also, but wanna wait until bluetooth is working. Keep up the good work [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION]! Thank you sooo much! :)
