Thank you so much for this guide. I followed it as is in the video (and kept WebOS), but I'm running into an error.

I can get 4.4.4 to install just fine, but after going through the process to install the following files:

ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03

FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.1.0-0-5-09-17

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180726

I get the following error when I try to boot Android from the moboot 0.3.8 screen:

Selected: 'boot Android'

Loading '/boot/uImage.Android'...OK

Checking uImage... Invalid Data CRC

BOOT FAILED!

Press SELECT to continue.

Any ideas why this might be happening and what I can do about it? I'm not real great with the proper terminology, but following the video was very easy.

Will the Touchpad run smoothly with Android 8.1? I'd really like to upgrade. I'm running Android 5 now, and some of the apps are slow. If I try to turn the volume down while an app is loading, the app will close. Some games are jumpy.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawford69:
I installed Android 8.1 last night on my Touchpad. The install went fine. I used Kernel Adiutor and used the recommended settings. The UI freezes at times. Several games will not play. I'm very disappointed. Guess I'll have to go back to an earlier version. The Touchpad just can't handle these new versions.

I've done the Kitkat update and everything seems good. Thinking about trying to update to 8.1 but not sure I downloaded the correct files. Here are the files I downloaded, it's the ROM file I'm most worried about not having right. Thanks for any help here, and whether I should just leave well enough alone.

"du_tenderloin-v12.5.1-20180920-1118-RC.zip" "FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.1.0-0-5-09-17.zip" "open_gapps-arm-8.1-nano-UNOFFICIAL_july.zip"

Have a second question, There's a handful of apps that either won't install (Goggle play store) say it's incompatible with my device. Or if it lets me install, it's either very glitchy or doesn't work at all. Would you think it's due to the fact of having an older android version (Kitkat), or the fact the my device is now rooted. For example, the Netflix app is a no go and I can't even get it to work through the browser. The exact same thing with Hulu. And Vudu actually say, "can't play media on rooted devices". Also can these apps that the play store says are incompatible be loaded sideways, assuming I can find them?

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplegreendave:
Is there any life left in this tablet/forum? I just booted mine up for the first time in a long time. In About Tablet it says CyanogenMod Version: 11-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin. Rom works ok but I'm thinking of flashing something else, it's a bit laggy even with <10 apps installed. I realise it's an old tablet with not much RAM but is there anything remotely snappy out there, that doesn't have wifi issues when it sleeps? I would prefer a newer android version than kitkat but if that's the best that's out there I won't update
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gborg3:
I have been using latest Evervolv N build and SKZ kernel with Intelliactive governor and Fiops Scheduler, slight overclocking on maximum and 1 or 2 steps up on the minimum, Toolbox kernel settings set to dynamically adjust as needed and either performance or the one below it. I use the L Speed app and set it for more resources towards active app performance instead of multitasking, and I have as few apps installed as possible. Facebook and YouTube I keep off this tablet and I use the lite versions when possible if needed at all. Pixel Dungeon is the only game installed and there are less than 90 apps installed. If you keep less 10 apps installed then it should be even more smoothly functioning than mine. When I finish charging it on the dock, I power off then back on and when things are too unresponsive no matter what, I will use TouchPad Toolbox in boot folder so it is accessible from moboot to Repair Android volumes then TWRP to repair the system partition. For me this is smoothly functioning with negligible freezing and lagging. On some networks, some of the time(not often) I still need to need to reconnect to wifi after charging but that has only happened after it being on the dock a small portion of the time and that is a power off and boot freshly time anyway. You can try it and clean install the build with correct partition sizes and hopefully that is worth the energy and time for updating.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplegreendave:
That's a lot to take in, I have a busy day ahead of me!

2017-11-03 is the last Evervolv nightly on 7.x is that the one you're using? I mostly want it to read comics & graphic novels, I have a kindle for epub (and I hate reading print on LCD).
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gborg3:
Yes that is the build I am using and the general purpose of mine as well. I use Naked Browser or OH Browser over Chrome for online manga/manhwa reading and Line Webtoon as my go-to app for the same. I use Ruthless Launcher and that makes a noticeable difference compared to Nova but I have not compared to the stock launcher yet in light use of resources. I disabled multiple system apps that were unneeded along with the heavy ones like Chrome but I used Titanium Backup for that. Your TouchPad is waiting to surprise you and we will see what the future holds on stability of Android 8.1 'O'.

My first recommendation for you is to use this alternate install method, because it will create a SWAP

Don't know what's wrong at your side, but it must be something specific to your kind of setup/files/touchpad. I installed EV9 yesterday new from scratch and everything works like a charm (as far as it could - of course the ROM is not yet perfect). But never ever have there been any crashes.

screen locked and can't be unlock while installing 9.0

hello

I am new on the forum

I followed very successfully almost all the process to install PIE 9.0 on my good old HPTouchpad.

I perfectly went through the Kitkat step

I get stuck close to the final reboot with the last version from the evolver build ev-tenderloin-9-userbuild-2019.08.30.zip

as the screen get locked during the installation , and as the swipe button is not reactive any more,

I cannot respond to the last question about wanting or not the TWRP apps updates,

there is now two superposed swipe buttons, none is active

and so the machine is stuck , the screen gets dark, then I just can reactivate the frozen menu,

but I cannot go any step farther, I cannot even turn off the Touchpad

What can be done to regain control?

How then is it available to step in that deadlock

It seems that the touch on the screen (on the swipe software button) is not even recognized one the padlock symbol appears

Thanks for your help

no sound with evolver 9.0 on my HPTP

Hello

this installation report just follows the short previous note on the locked swipe button during installation.

Even though I was unable unlock the screen with the swipe screen button

it seems that the installation process had reached its end.

I was able to unlock the HPTP with the long combination of pressing simultaneously

the power button and the center button.

Then when I turn on the HPTP power again, it proposed me to " boot android" and it boots showing the evervol pulsing logo

Then, checking through : Settings / About tablet, I am confirmed that Evervolv version is 9 (Actinium)

I used the rom dated 2019-08-30; That's great.

My problem is that I could not ear no sound from the HPTouchpad. I also installed VLC and copied a few mp3 files Through the USB.

VLC run but no sound can be heard, even though that pushing the volume button shows the volume bar on the screen

Now, after two reboots the sound works!

I think I am going to try the previous refernce ROM: du_tenderloin-v13.0-20190328-1316-RC

to see whether things are more stable and straightforward

Longshot that I'll get a reply after all this time, but I'll put this out there just in case. Pulled out my old Touchpad on which I had already used the Toolbox/ Roland Deschain79 video to install KitKat 4.4 years ago. Wanted to try to update it somewhat and decided Evervolv 7.1.2 would be the most stable. Assumed since I already had KitKat on it, I could just flash the 3 files (Evervolv Rom, updated TWRP, and Gapps Pico) without re-doing the earlier steps from the video. Updated TWRP & to Evervolv fine as far as I can tell, but I keep getting an Error 70 when trying to install GAPPS...stating along the lines of there is not enough room in the partition. I've tried deleting apps, but continue to get the error even though there appears to be plenty of storage available. Is there a quick way to increase the partition to enable this installation without starting at the beginning of the instructions and re-doing the whole process, ie. the Toolbox part? Thanks!

into the USB_MEDIA > TTINSTALL directory through the micro USB port from the computer. I flashed the build, Gapps, SuperSu, MaXtreme optimizer in that order and everything booted up with no errors. Since the first zip wipes everything, there are zero errors as long as the USB connects to the computer and gets the files onto the TouchPad without error. Even if you do nothing with the TouchPad after the wipe all zip for months because you need a new computer to transfer files onto it, things still work great.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gborg3:
You should not be having issues with too little space with those GApps. I would flash the wipe all zip again to redo the partitioning and go from there with the TWRP it gives you, transfer the files from computer to TouchPad, flash them and boot. SuperSU is for root access management. Maxtreme is a zip that gets rid of some background processes and sets the tablet to function more efficiently.
