[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] joaomac7xda:
Hello everyone

I have in home 2 Xiaomi mi 8 with Global version MIUI 10.2.3.0 stable. Both have the same configs for locations, etc...

But in the phone of my wife the GPS is not working as expected. I can have it working in google maps and uber but not in all the other apps. I already check all the permissions, battery restrictions and nothing that can originate this problem.

Any idea how to fix?

Thanks

Joao
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] benjaconb:
The only thing left for you to do is restore factory.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] joaomac7xda:
Already did !

Can't be installed with TWRP 3.1.0.

Error message is "wrong device".

Does it include swap partition (as latest DU build)?

Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
I'll investigate when I get time tonight. The swap partition is not updated yet to match DU, however the rest of the performance enhancements are.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I was able to install the ROM using TWRP by removing the following code from the updater-script

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "tenderloin" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tenderloin" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: tenderloin; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
ui_print("Target: hp/hp_tenderloin/tenderloin:6.0/MRA58K/2256973:user/release-keys");

But it goes into a boot loop, it does not work.
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
what twrp are you using? im using twrp 3.2.1 from flintman
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The TWRP version I am using is 3.1.0-0 from Flintman from here:

http://downloads.codefi.re/evervolv/misc

The ROM install after removing the verification for the device, but it won't finish booting not even the animation starts, then it reboots again.

Can you provide the link to the TWRP 3.2.1 from Flintman?
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
here you go. I'm going to recharge my device and make sure I posted the build I have running on my device.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I flashed the TWRP 3.2.1-0 version and flashed the ROM file you posted.

It does not boot into Android, after selecting Android from the moboot menu it displays and active screen but black, after a minute it reboots.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
That's probably because the Android uImage isn't being removed, which is what the DU uImage is named. Delete it manually and reinstall the ROM. Then you'll have the Evervolv uImage to boot.
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
So after testing and rebuilding, it looks like i forgot to push a bionic commit which is breaking libs. So when I resynced and rebuilt before uploading the commits never got pulled in
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I always test a new ROM on a complete clean Tablet, nothing in boot.

But by looking at the updater-script, that is what would happen.

package_extract_file("moboot.splash.Android.tga", "/boot/moboot.splash.Android.tga");
package_extract_file("moboot.default", "/boot/moboot.default");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "/boot/uImage.CyanogenMod");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "/boot/moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "/boot/uImage.Dirty-Unicorn");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "/boot/uImage.Evervolv");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "/boot/moboot.splash.Evervolv.tga");

It should removed everything and then copy the new uImage.

I did installed it manually, with the same results.

Good to know you were able to find the needle in the haystack!
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Here are the settings that I have applied to get the most out of the Tablet, is very basic and simple if you decide to incorporated into your ROM it will be as fast and stable as the current DU v13.

The Boost Optimize settings for all Android ROM ever created for the HP Touchpad
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
new build uploaded that actually boots, swap was added as well
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
This is to confirm that the new posted build of Evervolv 9, boots and works!

It also using the swap partition, is fast and smooth.

I will take more time and report any suggestions.

Thank you for providing this new ROM!
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Extremely important:

If the Tablet goes to sleep or standby it will not wake up, the user may think that the Tablet is brick (is not).

A hard reset is require and the buttons needs to be hold down for long time.

I also notice from the Ramdisk files that KMS and CPU boost are enable. From my testing, those modules create more problem than the benefit it try to provide, more useful on a phone.

The idea of using the swap partition is to allow Android to place processes there without killing it or creating an unstable system. KMS is the opposite to swap it will Kill anything to make more RAM. The CPU Boost will make the CPU jump to a higher frequency only when touch, that will create double tap when typing and not an smooth user experience. Once the governor is set to performance the CPU will work just like it does on a PC, the way all computer works.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
BGrosse flashed the Pico Open Gapps and the Android Keyboard (AOSP) keeps stopping.

I can verify that is does happen with mine as well. That is an easy fix, a flash zip file can be provided to fix the issue as I do with the other ROMS.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

@elginsk8r

If you allow me I can apply all my settings that I have done to all the other ROMs and all should be fix.

I only need a direct link to the specific kernel version been use for this ROM, and I will re-compile a new version.
[TouchPad Development] 44quattrosport:
Not tested now, but thank you!
[TouchPad Development] androfanatic:
thanks a lot for the rom
[TouchPad Development] sireangelus:
Ksm does not kill anything. Is called the kernel same page merger and it allows for any program to share common pieces of code in ram instead of creating duplicates and it has a purpose in reducing ram usage. I use it on servers and it does wonders you can run 24 VMS in the ram space of 6.in no way it's involved in the oom mechanism
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Correction: I double check the kernel modules and all is removed.

The wakelock settings is different and causing the Tablet not to wake up.

You are correct, is the Low Memory Killer ( LMK ) and not Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM)

Both are removed, but settings are present in the Ramdisk files, but are not active anyways.

Tested the ROM and youtube videos does not play, audio does but not the images.
[TouchPad Development] SomeDooD123:
Thank you so much!! This did it for me. Very much appreciated.
[TouchPad Development] AllanSim:
Thank you

Thanks for this, i'm running Everevolv Pie now...who knew that we'd get so much utility out of a tablet bought in a 2011 fire sale??
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
My 32GB runs pretty good but my 16GB one that I found in the ewaste bin at work runs like garbage. I will toss it soon.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
There is no difference in performance between a 16GB, 32GB or 64GB.

Performance is all about the settings ( software )

For example the Tablet can easily play videos in HD 1980x1080 resolution, but the HpTp_MaXtreme kernel must be use.

Question:

What is the set up of the 16GB Tablet?
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
I think I have Evolve Pie running on it. It stalls pretty bad. I flashed it using the same files as my 32GB one. I have firefox, youtube, youtube kids loaded on there.

ev_tenderloin-9-userbuild-2019.08.30

Super_SU.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Not all Tablets can handle the same overclock CPU frequency.

Using the correct CPU frequency the Tablet will never freeze or reboot.
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
It boots up slow but once you let it bootup fully, the navigation is a bit slow but not unbearable. Youtube plays videos just fine and no lag. So yes this could be my daily driver on my 16GB tablet which I was about to toss out. It's amazing that this tablet is still being supported by xda community.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
All Tablets can be use with no problems, for streaming videos or music and will work the same with ALL ROMs.

Yes all Developers have done a great job with every single Android version and special thanks [MENTION=2219132]elginsk8r[/MENTION] for the incredible PIE !

There is no need to use any google apps or youtube, with the basic ROM install New Pipe a youtube alternative and 1080 videos plays like 480 !

[TouchPad Development] TouchpadXDA:
Big thanks to everyone involved!

Does anyone know if the hidden SSID connection issue is on the roadmap? It was never resolved in the last version. System limitation or just low on priority list?
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
My regular visible hidden SSID can't even stay connected. I have to restart. I don't think it is my network because I have other devices connected up without problems.
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
I don't reboot after each flash. Only reboot I do is after I do the all wipe file I reboot so that it wipes it then I just go in order of the files each time doing Dalvik/Cache wipe as I load each file. I'm moving back to Nougat since my 16GB seems to have wifi issues running pie.
[TouchPad Development] smithylovestouchpad:
Keep in mind that you are trying to run modern software on a 9-year-old tablet. There are bound to be some issues.
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
I am well aware just trying to fine tune what I use the tablet for and the rom I'm using. I've been flashing hardware since the Galaxy S3 and HTC One. :D

I just don't have any programming skills of the folks to are smart enough to port newer versions of android to work for so many different devices and actually making them run so well.
[TouchPad Development] smithylovestouchpad:
That is what I am getting at. These newer versions are designed to run on a device that has a lot more ram and much more powerful processors that what the TouchPad has. There is just so much a developer can do to get the OS to run on a device that never got any support from the manufacturer driver wise.
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
hi ppl...

i get this error after flashing this rom & trying to boot into it.

any hint?
[TouchPad Development] BigJinge:
Netflix block Evervolv 9.0 / Dual boot both Android

Hi,

So have the August 9.0 Evervolv build running on my HPTP 16GB. I've read about Netflix blocking this flavour from working with the latest build of Netflix, I've tried various sideload APKs but none work. I take it no one has a workaround for the latest Netflix builds.

As earlier Netflix builds work with earlier Android builds, 4.4 for example, is it possible to dual boot both 9.0 and 4.4 with both using the same swap space?

TIA

BigJinge
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
any hint / help ? :)
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Difficult to guess without any further information provided. But I would guess it is either a bad/corrupted download/installation or your /boot folder was already full when installing the ROM.
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
thank you for reply :)

tried with 3 different ROMs, so that should not be the problem.

i allways wipe system, data & cache partition before flash.

i was on android 5 before.

system partition size i tried 1400mb, 1800mb & 2000mb.

cache partition size is 1000mb.

twrp is 3210.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
That might be the problem: you only formatted system, data & cache, but never setup the partition system new from scratch OR manually formatted /boot. Formatting system, data & cache does not clean /boot and so every kernel which lies in /boot will still be available occupying the space.

I would suggest you delete every kernel in /boot manually (NOT the WebOS Recovery and of course also not TWRP!!!) or you start a complete cleaning process with HP_TOUCHPADs WipeAll scripts.

System partition of 2000MB is usually enough for every ROM available today and cache also don't need to be more than 256MB. More does not help more. Just for your notes.
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
how to do that? :)
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
In TWRP tap MOUNT, then select BOOT and then go back to the main menu. Go to ADVANCED and tap on FILE MANAGER. Get into BOOT folder and delete all files except uImage, uImage.moboot, uImage.Recovery. moboot.default and moboot.splash.*.tga can be left also. The other folders inside boot should not be touched.

Then try to install your ROM zip file again. It should work when it is not corrupted by itself.

Alternatively you can also try the BOOT partition cleaning script of HP_TOUCHPAD located here.
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
uImage.webOS i will keep also i guess ;)

what is uImage-2.6.35.palm.tenderloin, System.map-2.6.35-palm-tenderloin

and config-2.6.35-palm-tenderloin ?
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
OK, if U have and want to keep WebOS in parallel, of course you have to keep that files also. They are related to the WebOS kernel. So... as you can see you cannot have much space left in /boot when you also have WebOS still installed. Normally a maximum 1 additional Android kernel of your choice and that's it. If you kill WebOS, you can have 2 Android kernels (i.e. EV 7.1.2 and one Pie kernel).

Does installing and booting now work when your /boot was cleaned before?
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
well, smack my ass and call me judy ! :D ( that is from the comedy show friends )

lineage os booted... awesome

thank you very, very much :)
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Perfectly! Have fun! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
maybe i thing...

in twrp i saw that /system is ext4, but /cache is f2fs... is that normal ?
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
/system is always ext4, /cache can be ext4 or f2fs. For everyday use it makes no difference if one uses ext4 or f2fs. You can try both if you want - just test it by yourself. :good:
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
i downloaded a few simple games from playstore, like candycrush.

all of them crash after start, they worked before with android 5.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Difficult to troubleshoot... Especially because I did never use Lineage OS. What about the preinstalled apps of your Lineage ROM? Do they work?
[TouchPad Development] r2001uk:
Sorry if this is obvious to regulars but I'm completely out of the loop. I've just found my old touchpad and it's on Cyanogenmod Ice Cream Sandwich. I'm presuming this thread is for the latest stable version of Android available for the touchpad.

Is there a guide to get my touchpad from the state it's in now up to the latest possible version? I haven't done this kind of thing in years and I didn't want to make a new thread for what is probably a stupid question to you guys.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Of course it is there... Start reading here. Read carefully and follow the instructions strictly. In short:

- start WebOS recovery

- run HP_TOUCHPADs script "...WipeAll..." (eventually twice if you run into any problems when installing a ROM afterwards)

- boot TWRP and flash the ROM of your choice (most mature and stable is EV7.1.2, alternatively you can give EV9 or DU9 a try)

- OPTIONAL: flash additionally the HPTP MAX files for getting the most performance out of your TP

- reboot and setup your TP

- let it settle down for an hour, eventually reboot again

- USE IT AND HAVE FUN :highfive:
[TouchPad Development] r2001uk:
Brilliant, thank you very much - I'll have a go at this as soon as I can :D
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
youtube installed from playstore works fine.

will test some stuff, but none of the games that worked

on android 5 is working now.
[TouchPad Development] BGrosse:
Eventually you want to format again all partitions in TWRP and start over with another ROM? Just for testing... :fingers-crossed:
[TouchPad Development] paparansen:
did that already.

i got 1 game working, gardenscapes.... not playable, because horrible lags/freezes

every now and then for about 10-15 seconds. that didnt happen at all with android 5.

any hints?
[TouchPad Development] BigJinge:
Bump?
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
Most of the newer games will crash most of the time. I managed to play hill climb and a marble glass smashing.
[TouchPad Development] supaahiro:
I loaded the rom but it after the reboot, it is just stuck on the evervolv loading. Someone said 15mins and it's been more than that. Anyone have an idea? I've tried searching and can't find anything.
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
Depends which files you used, it might hang because of that. I had this happen to my 16gb one.
[TouchPad Development] supaahiro:
Hmm. So basically redo everything until it boots? I'll try to check which files I used. Thanks.

EDIT: I think I found the error I made. I'll add a new edit once solved.

second edit: solved. I added the incorrect ZIP for Reducer ROM. Loaded now but now it's stuck at the setup. Can't reach Google servers. Even if I try to skip, it won't let me. I'll mess with it more.
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
I ended up switching back to Nougat for my 16gb one because it just ran better and bluetooth works but Pie doesn't and it seems to run slower on it. Just try different combinations of flashing since it's so easy you just batch the files together and flash until your hearts content. I use to dread flashing it since it required all kinds of tools.
[TouchPad Development] supaahiro:
Yeah. Pie is definitely slower. I'll try nougat. RIP Touchpad but it'll be good for my kids when they get there.
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
My kids when they were old enough craw/walk surfed on the tablet and it still works so they are pretty solid. Try that with an ipad or samsung tablet. I don't know that it would survive. That's why I've kept it going for the kids to play with and I don't have to worry too much about it getting destroyed. By the way the HP touchpad with the recent flashing tools has been the EASIEST to flash compared to the Samsung or the Nexus 7 I have worked on.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
how can i use the netflix app in root mode?
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
I think netflix is blocked from use on some versions. I don't have a netflix account so i can't say if it will work or not. I think it works on Nougat but others will have to chime in.
[TouchPad Development] testycal:
newbie here....new in box 16gb TP....I have looked around for easy instructions to install android however I am confused. I do not need the newest build but the most stable...please point me in the right direction. Would like to keep the WEBOS as well if possible
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Is it possible that the speakers are not that load as in other roms?

It seams a little bit quite

Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
[TouchPad Development] ghst_dan:
after numerous tries it installed.

stuck on evervolv boot screen, after 5 hours it started. (I always have this bug any ideas how to fix???)

running at 1500mhz . screen has a delay on key presses and swiping (I can live with it , presume an overclock would fix this?)

after a few restarts to get video to work on youtube I have a problem

the sound makes a very loud hissing when playing any audio or pressing screen , or will often stop altogether. so unless there is a fix this wouldn't be a useable build for me. strange as it worked upon first boot.

also the launcher keeps crashing

I will wipe any try one last time
[TouchPad Development] ghst_dan:
2nd attempt and the same issue.

im sure if I remember there was a different audio device used across different touchpads. possibly this pie release does not include.

so im looking for latest stable release that I can use youtube/general browsing/home automation. and I need to put web os back on it. off to search the forums to figure out how

cheers
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
The 16gb one I have had strange vibe sound when I pressed on it when I wipe it each time but I think it might be due to internal damage. It was rescued from the e-waste bin but otherwise it works great for streaming hulu but when I plug in the headset into the audio, sometimes the audio would be lost so I just unplug and plug the headphones back in then it works just fine. So there are some quirks using it. It's a fantastic little device that can withstand all kinds of abuse like my kids stepping on it when they were first learning to walk.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:
Does your headphonejack work?

Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
Yes they do but I just have to replug them in for the sound to come back. Not a big deal.
[TouchPad Development] ghst_dan:
ny heaphones and speakers are the same . didn't happen in KitKat or web os .

is there a link so I can put web os back on to test sound?

any other roms you would suggest?
[TouchPad Development] dizzymon:
I wouldn't put back webOS. I would use Nougat. I don't like Pie. It's too slow.
[TouchPad Development] ghst_dan:
I will try and see what versions are available then with working links. im sure for audio to work properly I needed webos in background , unless this was an old rom I was using .
[TouchPad Development] johnleo:
I didn't see anyone bring about the error 6 message. Is it just me?

First, I saw the E1001 error and followed the instructions in this thread and deleted those lines, and then it disappeared.

But then I got a new error message: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 6. "

I can't find any clues as to this error message even in the whole xda forums. I'd be really appreciated if anyone can give some help.
[TouchPad Development] anonxlg:
when you wireless charge the touch pad, how do you disable the clock screensaver.

It turns on after touchpad idles and countless times, i've had the tablet leave its screen on over long periods of time... which isnt good for such an old device.

-edit-

nvmd, found it under display settings
[TouchPad Development] Fistandantillus:
Is pie even worth it? I am running kitkat and have been for the last two yrs almost. everything works fine some apps wont work from the play store but otherwise ive used it for n64 nds vlc etc etc anyone?
