[TouchPad General] smithylovestouchpad:
Are you able to install those Apps with the traditional set up with no swap?

Before I started testing your files, I had this tablet set up, using J.C. Sullins CM11, with all my favorite apps including ADW Launcher and never had a problem with reboots, ever. I could install and uninstall any app and never a reboot.

Let me refresh your memory back to this post below. What I reported in that post was immediately after I flashed CM11, your swap file, Pico Gapps and SuperSu. That was all that was installed on the TouchPad. No other files except yours. No tweaks, no launchers of any kind.

"Last night I flashed the "Wipe and Create All" zip followed by the CM11 Rom, Optimized Kernel(1782) with Swap, and Pico Gapps. After all the reboots and installs, I had to flash Super SU v.82 to get root. It was late and the battery level was under 50% so I put the TouchPad on the TouchStone and went to bed. This morning I went to pick up the TouchPad and it was abnormally hot, I mean really hot. I looked at the battery level and it has only charged up to 82%. It should have been at 100%. I turned off the tablet and gave it around an hour to cool down. When I booted it back up, almost immediately started spontaneously rebooting. Not a boot loop, but randomly rebooting. I decided to connect it to a HP wall charger to see if it would charge up to 100%. I had it sitting on the counter and it was doing the random reboots while just sitting there recharging, but it finally did charge up to 100% and did not get hot like it had previously, just warm which is normal. I decided to flash the next slower speed file(1728) and the rebooting kept happening. So I flashed the slowest file(1674) and I thought that was helping, but then it started the rebooting again. I copied the TP Toolbox UImage in to /boot and checked the partition sizes and they were all correct. Finally, I flashed the file to disable/remove swap and now the tablet is stable. I've charged it on the TouchStone, did not get hot and been using it for several hours and no reboots. One other symptom of a problem, trying to play YouTube videos, they played very erratically and would cause the tablet to reboot. After removing Swap, they play normally. BTW, after flashing remove Swap, I went into setting/performance and used that to bump the speed back up to 1782 and no reboots after several hours of using the tablet."

I think you would have everyone believe that the over heating and rebooting is a problem with an older Rom, CM11. How do I explain the behavior of this tablet, which worked just fine, with CM11 and any application I wanted to install. Just sayin'.

P.S. If I were to try one of the other Roms, which one would you say I would have the best chance to having the least problems?

P.S.S. I've been reading your OP and noticed that when you rewrote it you left out the keyboard flash file and comments on which Roms need it.

Did not feel like waiting for you to check in, so I wiped /system, /data and /cache with TWRP and started over with Evervolv 7.1.2. After install, seemed stable so I installed several Google Apps and still stable. Flashed SuperSu and as soon as tablet booted up started having problem with tablet freezing. No reboots with this Rom just freezing. I had to force a reboot by holding home and power buttons. Would work for a while and then freezes again.

Gave up on Evervolv and moved on to DU Pie. Wiped /system, /data and /cache with TWRP again and copied all the

DU files over to /Media and flashed Rom, Swap and Pico Gapps. At Moboot, as soon as the tablet tries to start, I get

"Failed Boot", hit select to continue. So I wiped again and just flashed DU Rom and get the same thing. I suspect the file from your source is bad.
