For the trebuchett crashing issue, make sure to use the latest version of the Rom. See post just above your own.

Finally as for the YouTube playback issues, use a third party app like Newpipe and play all videos through that.
[TouchPad General] caliboyrich:
Ok i have tried every one that i can download, none of the recovery zip files work for me, i get an unsupported zip file error. any ideas?
[TouchPad General] bsorli:
Think I had similar problem using 64bit version of Google Apps, but not sure if it's the ROM or addons you're having problems with. Sorli...
[TouchPad General] SilentSwordfish:
on nougat, the only problem so far, is Youtube, it often crashes..and some game apps.. any advise?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
From your screen captures the Android version is Android Kitkat and it can be from this two developers:

CyanogenMod 11 Android KitKat by Jcsullins

LineageOS 11 Android KitKat by Milaq

YouTube plays with no problem, but I will recommend to update the Android version

Here is a guide that has all the links for the different ROMs:

https://xdaforums.com/t/hp-touchpad-optimize-for-all-android-roms-with-swap-partition.3901773/

I recommend to use Evervolv 7.1.2 Android Nougat

Also a youtube alternative is :

https://newpipe.net/

You could try just installing that App if you want to keep your current system as is.
[TouchPad General] trevevs:
ok gonna try evervolv....
[TouchPad General] middle_road:
Running well here. Sound working under youtube. Settings/sound is fine also.

Interestingly though is that google device manage can not locate it. It can ring it though.

Using Swiftkey keyboard without any crashes.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I can confirm that sound is working on the latest build 14.1-2017-01-23.

But the FAT32 Partition is not accessible by the setting, storage explorer ( Android file system ) or the File Manager.

It has never worked. Will this be the way this room works?
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Installation worked pretty well, up to and including replacing AOSP keyboard with Google keyboard, but now I can't add my Google account. I just end up at a white screen. I can use the tablet otherwise (as in backing out of the white screen), but this keeps my from reinstalling apps from play store.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Everything works, no need to replace the AOSP keyboard, do not create any problems.

Install the latest ROM exactly as is, also make sure you wipe EVERYTHING before you install it!
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Sorry to report that I installed the 20170123 ROM after factory wiping (coming from Evervolv) and AOSP keyboard kept crashing on me. I had no choice but to install Google keyboard, I couldn't get on Wifi otherwise.

What do you mean by "wiping everything"? Even data/media?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Wipe format everything ! Copy the information that you need to your PC then format wipe everything, then install it and 100% guarantee that will work.
[TouchPad General] middle_road:
I was about to say, where the devil did you get r01-23 from? I don't use updaters, and the tablet was showing r01-15 available

and the was the one I was running already.

Then an amazing thing happened - I updated (reloaded) the browser window that had 'invisiblek.org' on it.

Downloaded r01-23, going to go flash now...

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

That has been a bug with CM for quite some time now.

I spent a couple of hours last night trying to find a work-a-round and failed - so far.

I then get in that 'chase your tail' mode, where one figures that since Android is based on 'Nix, then this should work - and doesn't.

I too would like to have access to that partition. We shall figure it out! (else, someone more knowledgeable will step forward with the solution...)
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Where can I collect on that guarantee? I did exactly as you said: Saved my stuff to my PC, wiped everything, installed LOS and Google Apps, and it behaved exactly as before: AOSP keyboard keeps on crashing, and attempting to add a Google account blocks with a white screen.

I guess I'll wait on another build.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
What ROM version did you installed?
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
The latest one: lineage-14.1-20170123-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
CHECK the website for the new version which is:

lineage-14.1-20170126-unofficial-tenderloin
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I installed the latest version : 2017-01-26

Same as previous version, sounds works everything seems normal.

The USB Media External storage is not accessible in any way, even when connected to a PC.
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Installed the 20170126 version. First attempt, it got stuck on the boot animation. So I wiped again, and installed again, and it behaves exactly like 20170123. Is there any way to get the Google account set up another way?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Did you installed the ROM only?

Did you install the gapps with it at same time?

Can you be precise?
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
I installed lineage-14.1-20170126-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip first and open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170126.zip second (in one go, without rebooting) with TWRP 3.0.3.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Wipe everything again. Then install only the ROM and be patience it takes a while.

You will see everything will work. After you have everything configure then go back and to TWRP and install the google apps, make sure is the latest and for your version. Good luck!
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Alright, if I only install the ROM, everything works fine. As soon as I install GApps, the keyboard starts crashing, and the problem with adding the Google account is still there. OpenGApps 7.1 pico is the recommended version, though. And the tablet is not particularly useful without the play store.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Yes you are correct, I did install the Micro opengapps from today and the Keyboard do not work. I am downloading now the full open gapps and will install it, see what happens. Most of the times you got to find a work around by trying different things. I am sure there is an alternative keyboard out there that it can be install to overcome this issue for now. Will report back!
[TouchPad General] taescience:
I can't get the setup to work

When I try to come back and set up after I got the keyboard installed, I can't get the google sign in page to load. I have the most up to date play services, I've tried clearing cache, etc. Reboot doesn't help.

Anyone else have this problem?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I wipe clean everything, installed the Rom then installed the FULL opengapps from today 1-27-2017. The Android Keyboard (AOSP) keeps stopping.

Only option is to close app. There is no other Keyboard option in settings.

The Android Keyboard works with the ROM only, but not with opengapps even the full install.
[TouchPad General] middle_road:
Use Swiftkey. I keep reading that some are have headaches with the stock keyboard - ditch it.

Though all of 7.x evervolv and both of Invisiblek releases I just go straight to Swiftkey - I install it straight from the APK right off the bat.

I know that MS bought them out and the rankles, but heck it works - for the last few months of messing with nougat.

[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Yes, this is exactly my problem, too. Haven't found a workaround either.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Tested the latest build 01-27-2017, everything is the same, problems with Keyboard and the USB media partition not showing.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Tested the latest build 01-28-2017, everything is the same, problems with Keyboard and the USB media partition not showing
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Solution to get Google Keyboard (Gboard) 100% working even after installing any version of Open Gapps:

You will need a PC, Windows or Linux, both should be able to open zip files. You can use 7-zip.

1. Download the latest LineageOS at the moment 01-28-2017

2. Download Google Keyboard, you can obtain the app in different ways.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

3. Open the LineageOS Rom zip file (do not extract).

4. Click on system, then App, then LatinME, this is directory structure:

/system/app/LatinIME

5. Delete LatinIME.apk is about 47.9 MB

6. Drag an drop the Google Keyboard app to the LatinIME directory " com_google_android_inputmethid_latin-25607916.apk is about 31.3MB

7. Close the zip file and safe changes when it ask to.

8. Install the ROM and your favorite open gapps all at one time.

Note: You can change the Gboard Theme, but when click on the settings it will stop. But the keyboard works with no issues.

Hope it works for everyone as it did for me!
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Tested the new build 2017-01-30 and the same problem persist with the AOSP Android Keyboard.

This is the LatinIME.apk that somehow is compile wrong or has something missing.

Replacing this file as mentioned previously will give you a full working keyboard from the beginning to set up the device.
[TouchPad General] garux:
As an alternative to go back and forth from TP to PC, you can download WIFI File Transfer as a bandaid to communicate to TP and PC.

Just my two cents.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Thanks for your input, and yes you can use Wifi file transfer. But you need to modified the LineageOS Rom (zip file) as explained on a PC. Also the LineageOS does not mount the Fat32 Partition that is use as external media. If you copy the ROM Zip file to your internal storage, you will have to move it to external in TWRP, otherwise it will get wipe and can not be install.
[TouchPad General] garux:
One reason I brought up WiFi File Transfer is you can use it to transfer your Nandroid Backups, TitaniumBackups and other files to and from your PC as an alternative until things are working for LineageOS.

Just my 2 cents.
[TouchPad General] taescience:
Are you able to successfully finish setting up the device? Are you able to add a google account?
[TouchPad General] crcontre2003:
play store

Yesterday i update mi tablet hp touchpad to 7.1.1. using the roms/recover/gapps from xda, all work perfect, except for the play store, when i try to load it said "comprobando información" (spanish) and then the screen remain in white.

I install gapps two times, and the problem persist. (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170201.zip)

Any suggestion??
[TouchPad General] shumash:
Do a complete wipe, including system, then install the rom and gapps in that order without booting in between. Try gapps nano or micro instead of pico.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I was able to use the Google Keyboard ( have input ) from the beginning. I do not have a google account or use google, can not test it. The recommendations is to have a working keyboard.
[TouchPad General] Steelskinz:
Got the same prob as above. White screen after trying to add google account. I already wipe, clean flash as shumash said. Too bad it seems it doesn't lag when i type keyboard as evervolv continue to do.. :/
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
Yeah, I'd switch to this ROM in a heartbeat if I could get a Google account set up, it feels significantly more responsive than Evervolv.
[TouchPad General] crcontre2003:
I do all that you suggest and nothing, the same behavior. I think the gapp is the problem. I will install the open_gapp-arm-7.1-pico-20170202.zip may be this works
[TouchPad General] aserraric:
So I gave it another try with the 20170203 ROM and matching pico GApps. Unfortunately, nothing has changed: AOSP keyboard is unusable, and if I replace the keyboard, I get stuck on a white screen when it comes time to set up the Google account.
[TouchPad General] Steelskinz:
Does invisiblek read the thread ? Roland could you contact him or you're not familiar at all ? It is a good point to have 2 different nougat's rom. Could improve both project mutually.
[TouchPad General] Dude905:
I had no problems installing it but it very unstable, it's like a beta tester
[TouchPad General] Dude905:
is there a delete option for post
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Dude where's my thread

Dude you really must read this tread and watch the video, lots and lots of detail is offered here

[ROM GUIDE] How to Install Android 7.x.x Nougat builds on the HP TouchPad

[YOUTUBE]ISWZ0c48gNA[/YOUTUBE]

Edit:

I see you found the link, just one of each file:) Don't worry about the post happens all the time here.
[TouchPad General] Dude905:
I have seen the video and he didn't mention whether if all 3 were needed or not, but I kinda figure it out any ways .... Now that I have installed this version I get the following >>>>

Trebuchet keeps stopping and I can't go any further. It wouldn't go away
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Dude please take the time to read the info and watch the video. I did indeed only use one rom file in the video and the forum thread further specifies the use of only one rom. I can only provide you with the information, you must choose to read and follow it.

Download Android 7.1.1 Nougat install files(Rom, Gapps, Recovery):

Note: Select only

One

Rom .zip file to download

I'll add this note to the OP here.

Rom:Download the latest Evervolv 7.1.1 Nightly build(Wifi)

Recovery:Download Flintmans TWRP Recovery 3.0.3.0

Gapps:Download Open gapps 7.1 Pico

Note: Do Not unzip the files.

Are you currently using the Evervolv rom or the Lineage rom? Trebuchet is your launcher so you could either replace it with another one from the play store or try relashing an older build of that rom.
[TouchPad General] Dude905:
Okay . I know I made one mistake, the resize partition., I didn't this time around . So if one does the reformat / wipe it will restore the partition back to original size . I now doing it over and making the partition bigger, crossing my fingers lol
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Good luck this time, thats an important step. Using the TPtoolbox to do the complete data reset and then installing android will rebuild the partitions for you, all part of the guide:cowboy:
[TouchPad General] Dude905:
Ok, what I have done was redo everything over and I mean everything from downloading all the zip files for KitKat to 7.1.1 Nougat builds .... Everything when good with the install but once LineageOS loads I get >>> Trebuchet keeps stopping and I'm only left with one option ( Close App ) but it doesn't go away, I can't go any further . I try rebooting but only get the same pop up Trebuchet keeps stopping

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Well, I was messing around with it and I'm finally able to get into setting, though once I try doing this

>>> Note:To enable super user you will first need to make the developer tab visible by going to Settings/About tablet and clicking on "Build number" seven times.

-Now go to the new menu located @ Settings/Developer options and find the "Root access" menu enable it for Apps and/or ADB.

The Developer options doesn't show ... And yes I do get the keyboard pop up as well ... Well I will keep messing with it ... reboots and so on to see how it will go

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Anyone know how I can get this app to work >>> Trebuchet ? or do I need to ? .... Also, I can click on the build a million times and the Developer options will not show ... Thanks ....
[TouchPad General] Dude905:
Well ... I have try many times with different zip files and all come back the same . The keyboard part doesn't bother me since I was able to install the Google one . Though, I couldn't get Trebuchet to load or run and there no options count down to 7 for Developer options, I click on build and nothing happens even after 6 or 7 times. Bluetooth doesn't work . I gave up and when back to 4.4.4 since this is working . If anyone has ideas what else can be try I would like to hear until than I'm with 4.... Thanks
[TouchPad General] bobcote:
Same here.

Developer options menu is never enabled and Trebuchet is constantly crashing.

Also, Home and Recent-app navigation bar buttons are not working.

I'm on Feb 4 build.
[TouchPad General] middle_road:
I'm running the r01-30 on my #three TP. Trebuchet Launcher has been fine for me (QUICK! knock on wood!)

It's not rock stable but I've been surfing on it and watching youtube videos.

Of course, if my Honey uses any of the three tablets, she has no problems except for the touch screen going dead. I use them and they act up.

Lip mentions over on the EV thread that maybe the base package has been messed with since the 1st of February.

Google might just be making changes to weed out older devices. They did just release news that they out retiring the Now Launcher this quarter.

I haven't really kept up recently on the inner workings of Lineage and so on, but it seems like since the end of January something has gone awry.

If I get brave I'll backup what I have and try lineage-14.1-20170204-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip
[TouchPad General] d0u8l3m:
[MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4597570]RolandDeschain79[/MENTION] WHY ARE YOU BOTH SO AWESOME, haha gonna try this now, I just found my TP sitting in a bin for a while, I don't even care if it works or not just the fact that you have a build for this device made is crazy cool.
[TouchPad General] chmcarro:
It looks like there have been a number of new builds for this release. Right now the latest is from 2/8. Are there still issues with the keyboard, bluetooth and camera? I'm on Evervolv 7.1.1 and it hasn't been updated in over a a week where there are typically nightlies. Considering it I should switch.
[TouchPad General] d0u8l3m:
I cant get the playstore to work on the 2/12 build it says checking info like its configuring my account or something and then just goes to a white screen. Also I remember in kit kat i had a performance option in the settings where i could manually select the cpu frequency, is that available for this rom? Thx
[TouchPad General] bujji:
Hello Guys,

Thank you for building this.

my Touchpad is back online with latest ROMs

I have installed Evervolv ROM. however i noticed that there is significant lag switching between apps or opening new apps.

i followed all the installation steps as per video.

did I mess up any thing? earlier i was on CM 11, it was very smooth.
[TouchPad General] GarfieldDC:
Does anyone have a fix for the white screen when trying to setup a Google account? The ROM is amazing smooth but I'm unable to setup my Google account or use the PlayStore or any Google apps. I installed the 2/12 build.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Thank you kindly

CM11 is still smoother than nougat, if you have issues I suggest sticking to CM11 till all the bugs are worked out. A lot of people have reported slow or unresponsiveness from the evervolv rom. Never hurts to post a comment at Evervols new home at Devs Base. Two threads are there [NIGHTLIES] Evervolv 7.1 and [TESTING BUILD] [AOSP Nougat 7.1.1] [3.4 kernel] but you'll have to google then as I cannot post links here.

Thanks for the post middle_road, not sure what the issue is but if you're having play store issues try using a different Gapps package. Below is the base package and two older open gapps package I had in my install folder. Please post back if either of these worked for you and I'll add a link into the OP

Edit: I found a solution, you can use any 7.1 gapps package but you'll need an older rom.

The solution:

-To fix the problem download and flash this older build here lineage-14.1-20170112-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip

-Once complete install the google keyboard here and log into the Play store, install any updates.

-Next download the latest Lineage 14.1 rom here and dirty flash it over the older build

-Now that you're already logged into the play store it will continue to work fine with the newer builds.

Alternate base Gapps package:

gapps-711-base-20170209-1-signed.zip
[TouchPad General] GarfieldDC:
[MENTION=4597570]RolandDeschain79[/MENTION] Thank you for the links to the older GApps packages. I just downloaded the 1/11 GApps & the 2/14 ROM, wiped dalvik/cache/system and flashed ROM & GApps. I'm getting the same issue. When ever I try to setup a Google account it shows "Checking Info" and then a blank white screen.

I will try again tomorrow with the other GApps packages you posted as well..

Thanks for all that you do.. it's always been your tutorials that have helped me in updating my Touchpad to the latest Android version and keep it running. I'm just not able to figure out the issues I'm having with Nougat.
[TouchPad General] Swifer:
Hello Guys,

I've tested with 2/16 ROM, wiped dalvik/cache/system and flashed ROM & gapps-711-base-20170209-1-signed.zip

But impossible to connect to Google account:(

I beginning and test with open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170123.zip same connect with GOOGLE :)

Dommage this room is quickly and sympatic:)

See you;)

Play Store Workaround fix for Lineage 14.1

Hey guys thank you kindly for testing the gapps packages, after reading your responses I did some testing of my own and found a working solution. :cowboy:

It turns out the problem is not the gapps but the current rom, I started from scratch and got the white screen problem when logging into google play. So I began to test each build until I found one without the play store white screen issue and I found it.

The solution:

-To fix the problem download and flash this older build here lineage-14.1-20170112-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip

-Once complete install the google keyboard here and log into the Play store, install any updates.

-Next download the latest Lineage 14.1 rom here and dirty flash it over the older build.

-Now that you're already logged into the play store it will continue to work fine with the newer builds.
[TouchPad General] GarfieldDC:
Roland... You are awesome!!! I tried the solution you posted and I now have a fully functional Touchpad again. All Google accounts setup and working.

It was indeed a problem with the ROM and not the GApps package.

Thank you once again! :D
[TouchPad General] sindizzy:
Roland, As always great video on how to install the ROM. One thing that I must have missed was that we are actually installing two ROMS. I must have missed that in the video because I went straight to installing LineageOS and had all sorts of issues. So this is a semi-dirty flash??? I think I was thrown off by the first part saying this was a clean install. Anyways I am up and working on the first successful boot. I have to go back now and try the older LineageOS to get the keyboard and Play store to work. I'll report what I experience.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Well I di a Wip>System and installed the older LineageOS and still some issues with trebuchet and now android.process.acore has stopped. Am I to take it that I need to start from the very beginning with CM11 and then LineageOS 20170112?
[TouchPad General] db_white:
Did the 0112 flash and wound up with something that couldn't boot. (uImage incorrect size) Tried removing obsolete images and TGA files to make more room in /boot, then reflashing, but same result...

It would be helpful if there was an md5 signature to check for corrupted downloads. I've had this problem before (possibly with the same ROM when it was first released) and walked away disappointed. Thanks!
[TouchPad General] sindizzy:
yes...me too. I got that same error flashing the new TWRP. If I may ask how do you remove obsolete images and TGA files to make more room in /boot?

I want to keep webOS which is why i dont use the Data restet in TPTB. I need to start over and it seems using ACMEUninstall2 deletes CM but not LineageOS.﻿
