I just installed the latest 7.1.1 nightly.

I must have done something wrong after making changes in settings. Whenever I boot into Evervolv, I get a blank screen and it never prompts me for the password screen, I just get a blank screen. When I hit the power button, I get a two-line box that says:

A.	Power off

B.	Screenshot

And at the bottom of the box, it has three lines.

A.	Bell icon with a line through it

B.	Icon looks like a phone icon

C.	Bell icon

Could someone please explain what I did wrong, or do I have to reinstall from the beginning?

A couple of weeks ago I had a super stable version with the most amazing battery life. But then I flashed the latest nightlies starting on 12-29 and I'm getting bootloader or random reboots on all of them. And now I can't remember which one I had before. Anybody got any recommendations for me? Thanks!

Do you make backups before installing new builds that could have questionable results?

Look under >Settings - 'Evervolv', >ToolBox

This ROM is Snappy on my three here, that I'm running it on.

It is quicker than any of the 5.x or 6.x versions that I've dinked with.

Some apps are laggy but I believe that's a problem with the OS being Nougat and the apps are flaky.

The install method _has_ to be followed to a Tee. Any deviation and all bets are off.

Since Android changed to the Data-Media layout I always try to make my /System at least 2x larger than recommended.
[TouchPad Development] athlonxp2300:
12-22 was stable for me but now every nightly since has had random reboots. Even complete wipe from twrp and flash didn't make it past wifi setup before it rebooted. Most times when i turn the tablet on it reboots 1 or 2 times before it stays at the Homescreen without rebooting. Unfortunately i wiped my 12-22 nightly and my twrp backup of that by mistake. I've tried capturing a log using the built-in bug report, but it just stays forever on fetching logs. Goi g to have to load a log cat app i think.

Anyway(app) to resize system partition with out using tp toolbox?
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Today I install your latest version and the latest gapps version.

After my device boot I choose my country and the option I want to recovery my apps from my Google account. After I type my wifi pw into the screen and after that every time it reboot.

How can I fix it?

[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Possibly. In (TWRP 3.0.2) under >'Wipe' >'Advanced Wipe' >'Repair or Change File System', there is an option for 'Resize File System', but I'll be darned if I can remember how right now. And ext4/f2fs might factor into it's functions.

Which version of GApps did you flash?

Can anyone confirm whether or not Netflix works on Noughet?
[TouchPad Development] cwstorm:
Yes, I can confirm that Netflix works on Nougat.

Thank you

Thanks AlwaysLucky! The issue was that I missed the 1312MB system partition. I swear that I set it, but it still showed 800MB when I checked it. These steps are excellent!

Got netflix and plex working great. This is amzing. Totally worth trying out. Having an issue when chromium asks to sync account info so instead of asking for password it goes to add new Google account and when I enter credentials it says "account already exists".
[TouchPad Development] measle:
Yes, had the same happen. Also Dolphin browser f/c with some frequency. Overall real smooth and already my daily driver!
[TouchPad Development] crutzulee:
Yeah...I had the same issue with Chromium... No issue syncing plain old vanilla Chrome...

For Canadians, Rogers Anyplace TV does not work but I suspect that has more to do with Roger's developers not being ready for Nougat..
[TouchPad Development] Rioplatense:
Also what detrrmines if an app is compatible in split screen? I can get plex and the browser in split screen hit play then try and browse and the video stops.
[TouchPad Development] nARMstrong20:
That's because the app isnt 100% compatible with split screen yet. My understanding is that plex it will act as if you've fully switched to the browser when you tap on it so it stops.

Quick note on Nougat app compatibility

I've found a few apps that are not yet Nougat-ized. Others may also be discovered later.

- andSMB: doesn't see external volume with ttinstall , TWRP, Android and other directories

- andFTP: can't connect to Filezilla Server on LAN PC

- Total Commander LAN add-on: doesn't copy files/directories to remote pc on local home network

The programs appear to work, but didn't really communicate or sync data between remote server. Still looking for remedy or work around.

[TouchPad Development] tpuserhp:
I use es file explorer (network->remote manager). It works well with filezilla to copy file to or from pc. I just tested it. You can set root directory in its setting to / to see all directories under root.

Sorry, it seems filezilla can only see /sdcards directory tree.

Glad everyone is enjoying and thanks all for the feed back. New ALPHA build is out it moves Evervolv Toolbox back to settings, Better battery life, Fixes Galley crash on boot, Move BT completely back to AOSP from CAF. There is probably a few behind the scene things as well but don't remember them all 8).

Probably via TWRP, but it's so easy with TPTB, why are you looking for an alternative way? Have

you ever used TPTB and removed WebOS? If so, you should be able to put the TPTB uImage in

/boot and run it from there, so you would not even need a PC.

Might try reflashing the GApps, make sure the MD5 checks and verifies.

Did you flash the GApps right after flashing the ROM or after booting the ROM once?

I've been trying it both ways attempting to determine which might be best. Haven't figured it out yet.

All three are acting flaky on r01-04....

[TouchPad Development] Manichee:
I am having this same issue with the latest build. I flashed over a previous build and it would go into a reboot loop. I wiped in twrp and installed. Got to the wifi setup screen and as soon I put password in and it connected to wifi it restarted, and is in a constant loop now.
[TouchPad Development] middle_road:
Might want to try re-re-flashing it again. Include an MD5 file for verification.

Last night one of mine was rebooting afterwards. I just re-flashed it a second time and it's been stable today.

Battery has been pretty good also - low single digits.

Touchscreen does go dead though still.

[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
It is a rom specific problem. I try it without flashing gapps I got the same problem. After I type my wifi pw into and I got a ip from my router my tp restart itself.

Can someone upload the 12-22 version?

Perhaps this one should work.

What router/nodem are you using? I'm referring to the IPv4 vs IPv6 debate and am wondering if may be that's the problem.

Did you by chance try skipping over the WiFi connect screen? Just wondering here.

I've got a copy of r12.22 & am looking for a place to upload it to... Send me a PM.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile on mine.

I took #Three last night - wiped it and clean installed the TESTING version of 12.21.

Battery overnight (8hrs) was in the double-digits.

On tablet #One which is on r01.04 the battery was in single digits. #Two which is also on r01.04, was all over in single and double digits.

On both #One and #Two the Launcher keeps wiping out my wallpaper and replacing it with stock. (odd)

Running Nova on one and Google Now on the other.

Touchscreen keeps going dead...

Once again it might be time to do clean installs...
[TouchPad Development] racenrich:
hello everyone...ive been keeping up on the latest till around xmas... back at it again; did a FULL clean install of the 1-1-17 build and i also experience boot-loops, constant.

did a complete wipe again, same issue, currentyly running 12-19 with no boot-loops....however i also have the touchscreen going DEAD...required hard reboot to correct.

All else seem to be working great, video, music, games, internet connection works fine for me, here and there i get the no internet, but that only comes after sitting for awhile.

Please continue this great work...This tablet has been awesome since ive owned it!

cheers,

[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
A lot of people seem to be having all kinds of trouble I am not seeing, I am running it on 4 tablets on various versions.

People are making assumptions and mistakes in their judgements of things.

Perhaps my Tablets have a simple profile?

I will do a list of software on them. I am far too busy right now but probably before the end of the weekend. I cannot imagine my experiences could be that much more positive but I am, having a good ride on ALL these nightlies. I never assume a software bug is the ROM I just flashed.

This sport is just too nebulous for that.

Riding nightlies is SPORT for geeks....AKA GEEKSPORT!

Take it for what it is worth.........HAVE PHUN AND BE A PHILTHY PHLASHER LIKE ME!

The tablets are all individuals as well.

With identical restores of these various tablets Data directory to assure they all have the same APP suite, I run Quadrant Standard (play store DUH!) and benchmark the various tablets. The range now is now somewhere between 4100 to 4250.

My scores on Quadrant Standard since I have been following Mr. Flintmon since the 5.0 ROM went from like 3100 or so on the later Flintmon ROM's of Android 5 up to now usually 4200+

I am running 192 Mhz Min 1782 Mhz Max in the Performance Control in the Evervolv Toolbox and Left swiping the display on that performance page to reveal the KSM (Kernel Same Page Merging), which I have on and everyone should be running this unless you have a known bug with the KSM on as the Touchpad has 868 megs of RAM or thereabouts, so you all have to understand, the fact that this is running the current OS is close to a friggin MIRACLE! heh

That being said, I do not leave apps up after I use them. Otherwise they pretty much remain up in ram albeit suspended but still taking a hunk and some CPU here and there.

If you are PHILTHY PHLASHING (Dirty Flash) ROM over ROM over ROM like I am than it is VERY important to clear the slate completely into the next flash. This way when the new ROM launches there is not a lot of stuff trying to auto load on next boot.

Simple logic but considering I started computing on a TRS-80 with a cassette drive and 4K bytes of ram and an 8 bit 1.77 Mhz Z-80 processor, and that my Dad and I , Dad being an avid General class Amateur operator back in the 50's he got it when a General used to mean something as far as skillsets,.......I know low capability computers and the Touchpad is an INCREDIBLY capable computing device.

You just need to use it properly within it's capabilities and usually I am finding most of my stuff works reliably enough on all these nightlies. PHUN PHUN PHUN PHUN!

Thanks Devs!
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
OK Lippy, here's what challenges I have been facing the last few weeks, and since I appear to be the only one having the problem, it may just be a sign of hardware failure in my TouchPad. Regardless of date version of Evervolv 7.1.1, I have been having a problem where the system UI appears to fail. I get a black screen, and while pushing the Power button does bring up the Power Menu, the menu itself has a strange jitter where it moves up and down about a quarter inch. Ocassionally the UI failure gets a notification (says something to effect I have a UI failure and prompts me to click on "OK". Screen goes black, and I have to reboot into Recovery and try to reflash the ROM and GApps. And the only way I can get a working system is wiping everything (cache, dalvic, system, and data). Which of course requires me to reflash ROM and Gapps and start all over again. Which gets me to a working ROM, but at some point (could be hours, could be days), the UI issue appears, and I have to completely start over again.

I have even gone so far as doing a complete wipe (wiping cache, dalvic, system, data, AND internal storage). Then transferring the ROM and Gapps over from my laptop. Works for a while. But again, the black screen randomly shows up. I've tried TWRP 3.0.2.0 and 3.0.3.0. I have tried Open Gapps Pico 11/1/16 and 12/07/16. I have tried various date versions of Evervolv 7.1.1 ranging from 12/22/16 to 1/1/17. And I have booted into TPTB to confirm I have over 1200 system partition.

And I have tried the Performance settings you describe above (plus kernel changes to FIOPS and SmartMax). I have tried flashing Shumash's custom kernel. Any performance change, or the custom kernel, immediate causes the UI problem (black screen). So I have been leaving completely "stock".

So, short of trying some other ROM (perhaps going as far back as CM11 from JC Sullins, I don't know what else to try. I posted this issue on the Dev Base site with hope someone might recognize and have some ideas. I have been flashing various ROMs on the TouchPad for the last 5 years and been on Evervolv (6, 7.0, and now 7.1) for a while. Maybe my TouchPad is ready for retirement.

btw, I just tried a new wipe combo (simply Factory Reset, and reflashing ROM... that is a fail, since its been stuck at the Evervolv boot animation for 20 minutes.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Nomad: don't you have another TP at your hands to flash that one for testing purposes with the standard procedure you flashed your own TP a dozend times yet? Just for testing if it is really your specific TP which has this problem? From my experience with electronics sooner or later there might occur problems with the solder balls of various chips such as the uP, the flash or RAM chip.

Try to pickup another TP and flash it like you did with yours and tell us how it behaves.

Don't we have it set to 1312MB min.? I remember some set it to up to 2GB and never had problems.

Actually I am repairing some TPs. As soon as they are finished and got them in working order, I will test the flashing procedure with the latest 7.1.1 ROM and let you know (the latest I run atm is 7.0 which is absolutely fine with my setup).
[TouchPad Development] Nomad1600:
Don't have more than one TouchPad. Got this one during the original firesale. Don't think getting a second makes sense... my other tablet is a Nexus 7 2013 and its gteting long in the tooth. So if I ever do invest in another tablet I will get something newer and better performing.

My bad... just went into TPTB and I have System set to 1344. is it safe/better to increase to 2000? Happy to do so, but at some point does taking that much away from Data counterproductive?
[TouchPad Development] db_white:
I routinely have application / system UI failures after heavy use or a couple days between reboots, whichever comes first. Regardless of which type of failure, the Touchpad is pretty useless until I reboot it. But I don't need to reflash to recover. It sounds like you have a filesystem corruption issue. There's two paths, depending on whether you think Murphy was an optimist or not...

The easy path is to use Touchpad Toolbench to flash the A6 firmware, then reboot to TWRP and wipe the partitions. Before flashing, have TWRP repair each partition, especially system. After that flash as usual and keep your fingers crossed.

The "go for broke" path starts with the A6 reflash as before, followed by a removal / rebuild of the filesystems while in TPTB. Adjust the partition size, then let TPTB check / repair all of the mount points. At this point, you'll need to have TPTB create a USB drive so you can transfer files to install a ROM / recovery that's acceptable to TPTB. Install those, then boot to TPTB, transfer the Evervolv ROM / TWRP files. (Will need to remove prior install files to make room.) Boot to the previous recovery, use that to install TWRP. Then reboot to TWRP, adjust filesystem types (if desired), then wipe /check / repair via TWRP. Finally flash as usual, but this time cross arms and legs too.?

If neither of these succeeds in curing the need to reflash after your UI failure, it may be time to start shopping... Wishing you lots of luck!

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
As long as you have /system set to 1312mb like Flintman recommends in the OP, you should be fine. I don't think adding more will really help, but it's not going to hurt /data either unless you own a 16gb TouchPad with a ton of stuff already installed.

You might want to do a complete data reset and follow Rolandeschain's video in the beginning of this thread:

I have my system partitions all set to 1536 which is 1.5 * 1024 for an even and properly computer 1.5 gigabytes

I am NOT using F2FS as I suspect it is buggier than Ext although EXT is a bit slower.

Perhaps all the people reporting problems are using F2FS?

Could we please have everyone whom are having mad problems with this rom please let us all know if you are using F2FS and if you are please try EXT and see if that mitigates things for you.

[MENTION=702374]lippy[/MENTION]

Before 1/6 when the ifdef was changed, the nightlies were barfing on IPv6. If you were unaffected, it sounds like you don't have IPv6 enabled in your router.

I'm glad to hear that you're a happy camper, but not all of us have the same router, same apps, same settings. There's hardware variations too. Your Touchpad may love warp 9 while mine struggles with 1/4 impulse power.

And that's what this forum is all about - reporting what works and what doesn't, so the devs can determine where the trouble spots are.
[TouchPad Development] lippy lipkowski:
Not being sarcastic. I can't find ANY reason to use IPV6 for anything whatsoever. I shut it off on all my Windows machines. Leave it disabled on any Mac's. My routers are are simple bridges in a mesh, my NOC hardware deals with my IP Schema. I honestly don't think IPV6 will ever get implemented properly / ubiquitously / V4 Interchangeably / usefully / etc.... and I could certainly be wrong.

I am way bum on IPV6, in fact so much so that I would have to propose the fact that you have it on may in fact be PART of the problems you are having?

If anyone uses it for any purpose whatsoever on this forum please enlighten me. If that is you db_white than thanks!

[TouchPad Development] crawford69:
I installed Evervolv AOSP Nougat 7.0.0 ROM a few weeks ago and really liked it. I couldn't keep myself from wanting to install every nightly that came out. Most of them would cause my Touchpad to freeze when it restarted after installation. Other times the nightly would cause random reboots. I started having so many problems that I went back to JC Sullins' CM12.1 ROM. I'd really like to install a Nougat ROM, but I guess I'll wait until there is a more stable one.
