Is very important to read the following guide about swap:

Click Here for the guide on HP TOUCHPAD Optimize for Android with Swap Partition and SKZ Kernel_ Flash Files_

As posted on the Guide:

For users that have webOS and Android

​

WebOS has the swap partition and it can be share with Android, there is no need to Flash the file Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition.

But to use Dirty Unicorns and Evervolv the Android /system partition must be 1400 MB, is a requirement of Android whether using a swap partition or not.

There are two options to resize the Android /system partition.

Inside webOS using Tailor: Click here for Tailor

Using the ToolBox: Click here to download the ToolBox​

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526788942

After the Android /system partition have been resize Flash the ROM and all the zip files in the order listed.​

Android 9 just need to be flash as is no extra kernels or keyboardfix files are need it.​
[TouchPad General] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
My android system partition is already 2GB. Do you mean my touchpad is already setup with swap with the latest Dirty unicorn V13 and I don't need to do anything else?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
If you have WebOS installed and the Android partition is over 1400G as yours is 2GB.

Yes, the only thing you need to do is Flash DU v13 Android 9 the same as all the ROM before, you are all set.
[TouchPad General] muerte33:
Thanks for the help in getting everyone to Android Pie, I still don't have it on my Moto Z3 Play!

I did the Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition via TWRP, then applied the newest ROM and Nano Open Gapps, and I am up/running.

If Bluetooth gets fixed, this will be a great ROM.

Thanks for everyone involved!

greetings I want to ask for guidance if the videos and you tube work properly I have not had luck open youtube but it does not run
[TouchPad General] rickpub:
Hi, thanks for the great work here. I was wondering if you would (or could) give us the option of using an over clocked kernel. Last night out of curiosity I flashed "SKZ_Swap_Optimize_Tenderloin_Kernel_DU_Cpu_Freq_1836000.zip" and found it to be very responsive on my 64gb Touchpad. Of course the problem is that flashing it broke wifi for me but it the added snappiness was very nice. Anyway, I restored my original setup in TWRP but figured I'd give it a shot in asking. Thanks again for all the hard work!
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
What type of Open Google apps did you installed?

How many individuals Apps did you install?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The maximum frequency for the stock kernel is 1728, with the SKZ kernel made by [MENTION=1009123]shumash[/MENTION] three extra are available 1782, 1836 and 1890 plus the a higher GPU frequency. Android 9 is stable is up to shumash to provide that extra kernel.

I have created a Hybrid with the stock and Skz kernel that allows for the extra frequencies. I will post it with more optimize settings.
[TouchPad General] rickpub:
Thank you. Much appreciated!
[TouchPad General] Beeve:
What am I doing wrong? I can't get gapps to load. I tried flashing 8.1 and 9.0 versions, and I tried to download from the updater within du, but I get errors every time. Thanks
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Keep it easy and simple:

1. Download the ROM DU v13 3-28

2. Click HERE to download the google Open Apps

Make sure the following is selected:

(Top Left) Platform: (( ARM ))

Android (( 9 ))

Select the version you want.

Variant (( Pico )) 98.19 MiB

Flash ROM first and do not Reboot, when done, flash the GApps.

When done Reboot.

The Tablet will be properly setup as an out of the Box new device for the first time.
[TouchPad General] Beeve:
Ok. Thanks. I think I know what I did. The Gapps link defaults to the ARM64, and I'm pretty sure I didn't change that. I'll try the correct gapps in the morning. Cheers!
[TouchPad General] Gborg3:
Anyone tried this with mindthegapps?
[TouchPad General] anonxlg:
Is it possible to have multiple android partitions?

I'm thinking of keeping my ICS android and I can also boot into this rom and help test it.

This is what it says in tailor:

Partition Size (MiB)
USB media	15152
Android system	600
Android cache	200
Android data	12240

I don't see anything about the webos partition in here, so I went into the settings in webos and it says it has 5.5GB available.

Do I have swap partition already?

I can resize usb media and android data to free up space.

Thinking 6gb for ICS, 6-8gb for PIE, whatever smallest amount for webos (4gb?), 8gb for a linux, the rest for data partition.
[TouchPad General] steffensammet:
Can somebody give me some guidance on the swap partition.

I am running WebOS and Android 9 on the Touchpad. As described earlier, I used Tailer to create 2 GB for the Android-system and installed the image.

When using the command free -h it shows me a swap of zero.

However, when booting WebOS and running the lvm command, it shows clearly a swap of 512 MB.

Why is the swap not showing up in Android ? I though the two system shares the swap partition ??

Many thanks,

Steffen

I am having an issue with massive double tapping going on. Is there any way to fix this? Even typing i get massive double taps and scrolling or anythjng it will just randomly click on stuff.....

Also i tried using bittorrent to download and it keeps shutting down over and over again.... so apps crash regularly
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Attached is a screenshot of the Super variant of OpenGapps for Pie. All the OpenGapps Variant works with no issues for the HP Touchpad custom ROM.

There is no need to create confusion or issues when everything is working perfectly.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Take a look at my guide about LVM on the HP TP: Click Here for how to take complete control of the HP TP partitions

All the partitions must be created manually, there is no App that will do it. It is very simple and fast, you should practice on an empty tablet to figure out how LVM works, or on a Linux virtual machine. Here is the example from my guide of how many partitions can be created.

A tablet with WebOS installed the only thing that is need it is to have an Android /system partition of 1.8 Gb. Then flash Android 9 as is, nothing more.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Can you post the link to the google play store of the bittorrent App you are using?

All OpenGapps variant , Super, Full, Stock works perfectly even the game HearthStone works with no issues or crashing.

Attached are screenshots showing 47 installed Apps and the HearthStone game completely with also the 9 extra Heros.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Videos does play and work, there will be new Optimize settings to flash this week that will make the Tablet work even faster and better.

If you are having any issues with videos it will be fix.
[TouchPad General] Kamiccolo:
Im using the app bit torrent. I think my tablets dying mabe... it seems to have problems with every rom except jc sullivans works perfect and the only main difference is the gpu overclock using an unlocked kernel but even underclocking the gpu dosnt stop games from crashing. The bit torrent app works for abit really well then just closes no errors of pop ups literally just disappears even from the top left so something happening with that. Which tablet do you have? I have the 1gb ram 16gb hard drive with wifi only. Its old now from 2011.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

Not joking the crashing got so bad after bit torrent started crashing then the whole tablets home screen started crashing over and over again. It even was crashing when doing nothing on the tablet. It even crashed when trying to copy pac mans 4.4.4 rom over to flash back. I had installed it using f2fs on data and cache by the way.

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

Ive had these problems on both 8.1 and 7.1.2 that i tried flashing this week.

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

And thats with and without f2fs but i figured f2fs would work fine mabe im just wrong but the new 9.0 does eat up more base ram again than any other rom so far ram usage just keeps going up with the next rom. Was eating up about 512mb of ram just doing nothing with pico installed which only installed playstore nothing else. So no apps running.

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

It was crashing so badly it wouldnt even restart had to force the restart of the tablet. Then flashed back to kitkat

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

And the double tapping got so bad i could barely hold my finger on the screen without it auto tapping

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

Both jc sullivans 4.4.4 and pac man 4.4.4 touchpad tapping works perfect zero errors or doubletaps ever anywhere. Using 7.1.2 or 8.1 or 9.0 all have the same tapping issue where i cant even scroll in playstore without it auto tapping on a random app

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Yeah its using the was using the swap function partition
[TouchPad General] Kamiccolo:
So far 7.1.2 is now working perfect for me with updated files!!
[TouchPad General] sheezydontleave:
First of all I just want to say thank you! this rom brought so much life to my touchpad! i was running CM on it and it was basically a paperweight! thank you for this!

However I am now having a problem with my wifi disconnecting every few minutes. I tried reflashing multiple times and wiping. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
[MENTION=7238175]sheezydontleave[/MENTION] I had the same issues with WiFi and also though it was a settings issue and is not. All three ROM will keep the WiFI connected. This was the issue for me and hopefully yours as well.

The problem at my end was the router, I had it set up manually to 2.4 GHz band bandwith 40 mhz and other manual settings thinking that it was optimal. My advice is to look at your router configuration and also check for interference level on the selected channel. Try the Auto settings on most part. Using 5 GHz provides faster speed but less range. 2.4 GHz slower speed but longer range. Also restarting your router, give that a try first but the ROM should not be the issue.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Great to know that it was not a hardware issue. Your tablet if properly charge can last you 10 more years!

[TouchPad General] roboticman:
Not the smoothest (only tried youtube using chrome), but better then nothing. I'm comparing it to my smartphone/ipad air... which is probably not a good comparison.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
As far as I know only SuperSu works for all the HP Touchpad custom ROM.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
After the Tablet is setup and boot into Android, it takes time to finally finish and complete setup. It may look like is all done, but is not. The best is to leave the Tablet on charging with WiFi all the time.

Open Chrome and keep it open all time, go to youtube and it can be use to play Movies, music or whatever for hours or days continuously, it will not reboot or crash. Using the native youtube app, works better.

It takes time to settle, but keep it on and every time you need to use it, is ready to go.

how to install this ROM

there is only one tutorial of install android on touchpad, should I follow this thread? it seems not the same requirement.

In fact, I've installed android server times years ago, and now have 5.x on my touchpad, what's the best way to accomplish these:

1. First the ROM

2. Boost Optimized Kernel

3. Flash the Open Gapps ARM version 9
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
All new ROMs starting with Android 9 Pie a swap partition is required otherwise it will not work, the Tablet must be setup using the Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap.

Is very simple and install exactly the same way listed to download:

1. First the ROM

2. Boost Optimized Kernel

3. Flash the Open Gapps ARM version 9

DU v13 by [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] is stable and not a Beta ROM. In this Guide it shows:

[TouchPad General] Gborg3:
I have been running into odd issues with freezing up during use so I redid the partitioning for swap. Now I am not sure if it this computer I am trying to use or what but I can not transfer any files to the tablet while in TWRP so I have no OS and am unable to do anything about that. Any suggestions to get out of this quandary that does not require TouchPad Toolbox from the computer? 'The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected' is the only message on Windows 10 pc I get when trying to transfer files.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Does both storage shows in the PC when the Tablet is connected?

Once TWRP has finish booting, connect the Tablet to PC, that is all that needs to be done.
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
Obviously Im not good at this. I followed all steps, but the toolbox keeps saying that the TWRP is unrecognized. I tried different variants of it and still the same....

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

Wondering if this note on the other tutorial has something to do with it: Note: Flintmans newest TWRP builds cannot be installed with the TPtoolbox and must be flashed from an older legacy recovery.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Can you provide the link of the guide you are using?

On this Guide there is no step on using the Toolbox to do anything.

What version of Android do you have on the Tablet?

Android 9 must use a swap partition.

[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
You did a complete data reset using the Toolbox?

Do you know how to load the Toolbox from PC to Tablet?
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
Yup, Im using the toolbox right now BUT the conflict seems to be between TWRP and toolbox...
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Using the Palm Novacom Driver (the same as loading the ToolBox)

If the Tablet does not have any Recovery Install, or fail to boot into any OS or if it has the original WebOS and want to completely and easily make it an Android tablet.

unzip the file http://www.mediafire.com/file/jnc64szi0tv7a31/Automatic_Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition.zip/file

rename the boot.img (19.1MB) file to uImage.wipeall

Place the tablet into recovery mode

Tablet off not connected to anything

Press and hold at the same time

Power button and the Volume key (closer to the power button, left) until the Big white USB symbol shows.

Connect Tablet to PC

Open a Terminal window and enter this command from the directory where the uImage.wipeall is located.

novacom boot mem:// <uImage.wipeall

That process will wipe out everything, all data will be erase and everything will be created then just copy all the files from this guide and flash it in the same order.

will download a different one

Thanks for your patience!
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Only install TWRP using the Toolbox and reboot, the ToolBox can not be use to install Android 9

Reboot and select TWRP

You must download TWRP 3.1 and then flash the Automatic Wipe All as the guide I sent you.

Follow this Guide after you flash TWRP 3.1 using the older TWRP version you install using the Toolbox.

[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
Toolbox will not let me install it. It will fail saying that there is an invalid number of ROM ZIP (0). I dont think you can install the TWRP as a stand alone with toolbox. Correct me if Im wrong
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
It could be that it needs all the zip files to install it.

Well is time to make it easier,

go to to windows folders where the toolbox files are un-compress, where you click the file tptb_v42_win.bat

In that same folder there is a file TPToolbox-2015-01-08-v42.bin RENAME IT to: Original_TPToolbox-2015-01-08-v42.bin

copy the uImage.wipeall to that folder and rename it to: TPToolbox-2015-01-08-v42.bin

Now, connect the Tablet as to load the Toolbox and click tptb_v42_win.bat

Now it woul load the Wipe_ALL and everything will be done!
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
Even if I change the name windows identifies it as a disk image, not bin
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
That is due to the settings on how to display the files names in the folders. Windows is not showing the complete file name that is why even after you rename it still has an extension that you can not see, which is (.img)
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
Got it... wiping now....
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Perfect, all will be done and TWRP 3.1 will be available in the boot menu.

Download the ROM

Download the selected speed ( flash 1728 )

Download the Open gapps of your choice ( Pico is recommend )

It must be flashed in that specific order, all at once with no reboots.
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
ok doing it now. Love your patience man. if you are ever in the Orlando, FL area let me know and I will buy you lunch.:)

[TouchPad General] Gborg3:
Neither internal nor external sd show up on the computer when booted into TWRP 3.1.0-0. I had trouble getting files onto it the previous time I repartitioned it for swap also. I think it is a computer based problem. I need to buy a computer instead of using the one available for my short use. The one available does not work quite correctly. Or, can you suggest a bootable OS that can transfer the files to my TouchPad? That could work if it exists. If FWUL works with only a 1gb flash drive as that is what I have available at the moment.
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
All done and working perfectly. Cant believe we rescued this tablet. Many thanks!
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
You can use Ubuntu:

https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#0

Try this, boot into TWRP and select Mount ( second from bottom left)

Cache / Data / MicroSDCard ( should be selected with a check mark and the box is cyan color)

If those partitions are not mounted, touch on the square and it should allow to select them and deselect.

If nothing happens then your partitioning did not finished successfully and is the Tablet not the PC.

If /Data and / MicroSDCard both are selected then connect to PC, if nothing shows up is an issue with the drivers on the PC.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Great to know you are another happy user, the HP Touchpad can not be BRICK by any user error and all of them can easily be restore. Make sure you keep it on and charging to maintain the battery. Use it for anything, is a great device to stream music, ( great speakers ), Youtube can be running all time, or as a picture frame!
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
Just FYI I have the same issue... wiped everything three times. TWRP installs and mounts the SD and when a flash the rest of the files, SD is unmounted and you cannot mount it back.... No access to internal o SD from three different computers
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
This is how it needs to be done:

Flash Wipe_All ( When done Tablet will Reboot into TWRP )

When TWRP is loaded, connect Tablet to PC.

Both Storage will be available.

Copy the ROM and Pico with the Kernel files to the USB Media ( 500 MB)

Disconnect Tablet from PC

Flash all files as listed ( ROM , Kernel then Pico ) reboot to finish install.

From all those steps in which step in where there is no access to the internal storage?
[TouchPad General] Redmanuy:
I will do a fresh reinstall after I finish dinner
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Is the internal storage not available:
