I have been using the HP TouchPad since fall of 2011, loaded CM9 in 2012 and worked perfectly since until about a month ago, wireless stopped working (will not even bring up any wireless network), just stuck on "turning wifi on".

Browse forum, tried many solutions like removing /data/misc/wifi & DHCP etc, nothing works.

Loaded a few different ROM, a couple of them after initial reboot was able to access wifi, then after a day or so, it will stop working, yesterday, decided to try loading 7.1.x using instructions here, after loading kitkat 4.4, again, wifi worked for a while, then this morning it stopped and stuck on "turning wifi on" again, continue upgrade to Evervolv 7.1.x successfully, unfortunately, again, wifi is stuck on "turning wifi on".

Reason why I kept trying and not chalk it up as HW issue is that wifi connected perfectly in WebOS, it stays on for days and never lose connection after Android OS started to have issue, nothing on Router (Netgear R7000 on DD-WRT) setup has been changed in last year, all other 11+ wireless devices work fine.

Can one of the expert kind soul here shed some light and help me with this? Really puzzle me..., this will be my last hope before finally giving up on it.

Thanks

After initially booting evervolv I get to the "Welcome to your Touchpad" screen. When I choose either "Copy your data" or "Set Up As New" I get the "Setup Wizard has stopped" message and I cannot progress past this.

Any ideas on how I can get past this.

Only other comment is I get the clock app not working message before anything else...

Thanks so much for any help

I have flashed 3 toucpads with Lineage OS and overclocked. They work for the most part. The issue That I am having is with the mic. I try to use the touchpads as intercoms but without success. I am unable to use the mics. I am connecting the touchpads via bluetooth. I had read that one of the things thats wasn't working was bluetooth connectivity so I downloaded a voice recorder app to see if the mic worked in that app. It did not. I also use the touchpad to interface to my home automation and use the Ring doorbell app. I have no issues communicating with a person via the app, so I know the mic works. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Thanks great the Evervolve ROM tablet runs smooth. But I have audio issues meaning no sound neither internal nor via audio check. After a clean install it was there but disappeared. Reboot, clear cache, reinstall with ROM kernel or SKZ kernel did not bring it back. Others having same issue? Ideas?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2alex:
Found a solution myself via devs-base.com forum maybe others can benefit from and do not need to reinstall several times for nothing.

Using latest Evervolve ROM now and all good.

When there is no audio I plug out headphones/audio cable and reboot. Then I need to play some sound e.g. notification sound or music from the built-in app, only afterwards plug-in the headphones/audio cable while playing to get everything back to work. When just unplug, reboot, plug-in and then play a song it did not work for me.

Lol can't believe the headphone jack is still an issue, I remember hearing people mention this back at rootzwiki. Thanks for posting the solution here

Hi what rom are you currently using? try connecting to a different network if possible, local coffee shop for instance, to see if the same problem is with the device or local network.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerriton:
Great presentation and I have manage to install it on my Touchpad.

But there is a problem. After rebooting I got the evervolv text and a message Clock has stopped and I have to close the app.

After that I received in my language (Dutch) to start. See the text Welcome at your Touchpad and I have two options:

Copy the information from Iphone / Android or Cloud

Install as new

When I select one of those I have got the message Installationwizard has stopped, close the app.

After this he returns back to the Welcome screen in Dutch.

I have tried to change in to English but the same result.

Do you have any suggestion to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Novacom Installer Error

Hi, I have 3 HP Touchpads, 2 with Cyanogen Mod 9 and one still with WebOS, that I would like to breath new life into. I am running Windows 7 and have Java version 8 update 151 installed and I get an error that the "Driver Installation Failed". Next, I ran it from an command prompt to see the actual error and it states that "java.util.zip.ZipException: Not in GZIP format".

Has anyone seen this and is there a work around?

Edit - After more digging, I found that I could just download a tgz file, open it with 7zip, and run the MSI that is in it all from: downloads.codefi.re/jcsullins/webos/novacom. Followed the rest of the instructions and I now have 7.1.2 running! Great job guys - thank you!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbking67:
Well I installed the Evervolv build and I have to say the youtube tutorial is very good. I took the latest nightly build of 7.1.2 and after amazing initial first impressions I am having severe slow-downs and lockups. it's too bad--I love the features in 7.1.2. Unless there is a way to deal with the issues Im probably heading back to 4.4.4.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleStuff:
Some people like to use a new SKZ Custom Kernel that can be overclocked, and by doing so gets rid of lots of the lag. I have found success using this Kernel ( by Shumash )

read about it here: https://xdaforums.com/hp-touchpad/development/kernel-skz-overclock-kernel-evervolv-t3513534 ( and this will direct you to another site )

My steps:

Root your device with this link: http://www.supersu.com/download

Then flash the latest SKZ Kernel from Recovery.

and you can even download an app called "Kernel Adiutor" ( yes spelling is correct ), that will help you fine tune the settings.

I just use the regular Evervolv EVToolkit to set mine to these settings:

1782 MAX MHz

648 MIN MHz

Governor: SmartMax or DanceDance

I/O: Tripndroid

Set on Boot: yes ( but don't do this with higher MHz or if it freezes you might get stuck )

KSM: Enabled

Similar symptoms as bbking67

Similar to bbking67 I upgraded to evervolv nightly 2017.11.03 from 4.4.4. It's very responsive when first rebooted. I use it for about an hour in the morning, and let it rest for the rest of the day. By the next morning the tablet is very laggy and unresponsive. Essentially unusable. A reboot fixes the problem, so I've set it up to reboot at about midnight and I'm looking forward to the next nightly release.

Reflashed the kernel as described above and see a world of difference. I'll post tomorrow if it becomes laggy by tomorrow morning.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbking67:
Thanks so much for the suggestions.

First of all, the original post instructions are very detailed and the accompanying video is very well done. This process is far better than what I have used in the past.

After installing 7.1.2 I was impressed with the stability but not the performance. I flashed and configured the device using SKZ, the overclock tool (plus the required superuser tool). The instructions were good and the performance was considerably better. *Almost* good enough for me.

Two apps that I use regularly gave me grief (in that they were slow and laggy): Facebook and Plants vs Zombies 2.

I wiped everything and reinstalled using the prescribed partitions, etc., except this time I stopped after the Lineage 11. It's been a while since I used a cyanogen/lineage nightly build. Previous builds that I had success with (though often with minor issues) were the JC Sullins build and Pac-man.

This time around all I can say is HOLY SH*T!

My Touchpad had never been this responsive. Video playback is much better and I have no issues transitioning from full screen to the menu bar, etc. Pvz2 runs with no noticeable slowdowns (and it was always a bit slow on the TP). the CNN app plays videos (which were an issue on some builds). I haven't tried Chrome yet, but Chrome has been very problematic--though I use Puffin 99% of the time now anyway.

I wish I could run a newer build than 4.4.4, but I think this is a far better compromise for me. I certainly understand the benefits of 7.x, but it's a huge hit. These are old devices with limited CPU and memory, so I guess I need to be reasonable in terms of expectations.

Thanks again for the amazing work and support from the community. I still love my Touchpad!

4g help

I cannot seem to get 3 files Gapps/Cyanogen/TWRP that work on my 4G HP touchpad. They will not pass as compatible in the toolkit.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleStuff:
Well if your just using the TPToolkit only, you can't install Nougat 7.1 directly because some of the files will be incompatible. So the old method was to install versions like KitKat, Lollipop or Marshmallow first, because they have compatible files, and then once you have those installed you can flash the Nougat files, and I believe RolandD goes over this in his instructions and video. Actually at 4:06 timemark of the video. Where he installs KitKat first....

4:06

But good news, there is a new method since Rolands video was made, and in this "Alternate method" you don't need compatible zip files. So try this link below to see the "Alternative method"

Great information as always by you and kudos to the teams that keep on giving to us TP owners so far down the road.

I have followed your install guide and read extensively on running Evervolve 7.1.x on the TP.

To Roland or anyone else willing to help me out,

I do have a few additional questions I have not been able to find answers to:

1. In Kernel Adiutor there are a few settings you mention above that I cannot see :

1. GPU 2D Maximum Frequency = 266MHz (I only have 200MHz)

GPU 3D Maximum Frequency = 320MHz (My max is 266MHz)

2. TCP Congestion Algorithm = sociopath (My only choices are "reno" or "cubic", "cubic" being the default)

Everything I need/want works but the interface is still choppy and lags, and it is generating double taps, double characters from the keyboard, and sometimes I have to do my pattern login several times before it actually traces it OK...

I am running Adiutor v 0.9.73.3 dated from Nov. 26th 2017

Evervolv Tenderloin 7.1.2 nightly 2017.11.03

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20171230

and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46

I have tried to install the SKZ-OC Kernel but I end up as others getting stuck on a frozen Evervolv boot animation. (Unless this is the key to get my performance issues fixed I will admit I have not put that much effort in finding a solution for that...)

If I can get rid of the "lag and choppiness" I will be a very happy camper as this release does exactly what I am expecting.

Best regards and thank you in advance for any help and insight.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
All those settings are only available in the SKZ kernel. Your issue with the frozen boot animation is the first I've heard of it from any user.

Excellent guide

Thanks for excellent guide. Yesterday I was able to install Android 4.4.x and then upgrade to 7.x (LineageOS) following steps in OP. I completely wiped WebOS from it. Installation was done using Windows 10 machine.

Previously touchpad was running Android 4.2.x.

Thanks again for detailed steps.

The last step (Note) in OP is very important. "Note: The first boot to android 8.1/7.1 can take sometime, Wait for it...". While installing LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.x), screen completely went black. I waited for sometime. May be 5-7min (or so I thought). Then started pressing home button multiple times. No response. Then tried volume keys. No response. Then power button. Again no response. Held power button down for some time. No response. I didn't try combination buttons. I started feeling device is bricked. I started thinking what to do next.

Then, touchpad came back to life. 7.x installation was completed without issues. Same black screen was shown while installing gapps 7.x

Great to hear you were able to upgrade and overcome that slight hickup. There are some big changes coming to the Evervolv Oreo rom, probably the reason you had issues with the latest build.
