It all depends on how the Tablet will be use for, all Kernels for all the Android ROMS for the HP Touchpad are available on this guide. All the ROMs perform very similar as all the settings are identical. The difference will be on the supported hardware.

I want to know if it is supported by this version.

Thanks

hi guys, i cant seem to get the GAPPS on to this ROM, anyone else got this issue? or has anyone got a fix?
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
There is no problem with Gapps as of today's built April 8 of 2020.

Attached are picture of a fresh flash!
[TouchPad Development] Steelskinz:
Nope it is not.
[TouchPad Development] SMUchacz:
I am getting this same error: Incompatible GAPPS/ROM versions None/9

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

I tried using the GAPPS build from April 8th and that didn't work either.

I have the Evervolv build from 2019-08-30

------

Got everything working... Youtube tutorials FTW!!
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
As posted with pictures of current install, it does work.

Possible reason why is not working for some users:

The Open Gapps Web Site by default select ARM 64.

IT MUST BE ARM, exactly as the picture I posted.

Don't think we have forgotten about you guys. ;-P We have been busy bringing our daily devices up to snuff and learning the ins and outs of android 10. We currently are putting effort into breathing life back into this device. So far we have made some progress but nothing that is able to be tested (Not even at full boot yet). So hopefully in the coming weeks we will have something for you to play with. Don't hold your breath though, this device is fighting us tooth and nail.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
If all of YOU get Android 10 to boot into the HP Touchpad that news will overtake anything going on in the Planet!

2021 will be the 10 year "Hardware Anniversary"

Android 10 running on the 10 year anniversary, it will definitely be written in gold ink in History books!

In the mean time I have been working on "rejuvenating" the HP Touchpad battery to it's factory full capacity or very close.

Hopefully (( IF )) all of this comes together in fruition, we will have "A fresh up to date Android 10 with a restore battery to full capacity !"

Any chance android 10 or 9 will get working bluetooth and camera functionality?

Hi, I've been running Pie-9-evervolv since late mid-September, overall good experience but do get slowdowns over time (when up after a few weeks - I sometimes use it as a picture frame with the Fotoo App) Thank you all who put this together. My question is regarding the standard Android monthly security patches; The last build for the touchpad was 2019.08.30, Is there any planned updates to include the latest Android security patches (I believe new rom's are needed to get the fixes from my understanding)? I know there are four critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the April Android Security Bulletin alone, plus others in previous months. Thanks in advance!

I want to give many thanks to all the teams who work on this awesome tablet which i haven't change yet the lithium battery in ten years ! I'm waiting for the next release or will stay on the extisting roms until it support correctly my favorite apps. Cross my heart, Hope to die ; )

Hi guys,

I have lately rediscovered the interest of the Community for this glorious HP Touchpad.

Mine is running on CyanogenMod since 2011, even if it suffers from a huge battery drain (well, now in 2020, I guess the battery isn't in a good shape neither), Team Xron made a really nice work.

Now... I am asking myself where to start from? I was looking for tutorial from my Android version but I have only found from Kitkat version. So any help would be appreciated !

Best !

PS: some information I can provide you: there's ClockworkMod v5.0.2.6 installer, a moboot version 0.3.5 (... at boot up), and Android Gingerbread (2.3.7).

It has been almost 10 years and now flashing any version of Android is just a touch and is done, is that simple. Thanks [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION] for updating TWRP, is too easy!

Follow this guide:

Click HERE to flash All Android ROMS

Download the Automatic_ Wipe_All ( selected the swap file version of your choice )

It will wipe out ( delete, reformat the internal storage ) and at same time flash the latest TWRP by [MENTION=3716175]flintman[/MENTION].

The Tablet will reboot, get into TWRP and flash the ROM of your choice, there is nothing to worry about the Tablet will never get brick no matter what mistake you can make.

Have fun flashing !

I still love my TP with Evervolv 9.0 and here's a Couple suggestions for new and old users.

1. Check out and follow "HP TP Optimize for All Android ROMs with Swap Partition" thread - Helped clean things up setup swap, root, and optimize for Evervolv 9.0.

2. Xda Labs and F-droid - rocks and should be downloaded for great information and apps that make the TP work better.

3. Alternate Apps - Use slim downed and polished apps that don't have all the lime light. Like Slimsocial download via F-droid, is Much Smaller then the full FB application and can be logged out of and kept from tracking my life when not being used. I use Slimsocial on all my devices and don't need FB bloated collecting data app running all the time.

3. Browsers - this part is super important choose your Web Browsers wisely. F-droid will help you load and install fast and small browsers like Lightning, Foss Browser and IceCatMobile that only require a little space to run and don't lock and tag required resources on our slower TP systems.

Tenderloin can drag heavily with the wrong apps (browsers, Google Play, etc) and I realized that other apps like RBDigital magazine reader worked perfectly. RBDigital downloaded a recent issue for something of interest. It flew through the process, downloaded the magazine, and loaded, page flipped, text view and zoom worked perfectly. Why does this app work perfectly and traditional web browsers crap out in 2.5 seconds??? Firefox practically breaks my HP TP needing so much Ram, Processor and pounding storage cache same as many other apps. But what's the point of using Firefox when my TP works much better with smaller faster options.

Heck, I may try Lightning, Foss Browser and IceCatMobile on my OnePlus 7 Pro that super fast and see bout replacing everything with faster interfaces on all my Android hardware. Less requirements means more storage space, less memory usage, and probably longer battery life.

Would love input of what other have been using too enhance their TouchPad's? Thanks, Sorli...
[TouchPad Development] Chromatic:
[MENTION=8005714]HP_TOUCHPAD[/MENTION], thanks a lot for your feedback !

Seems like I need to read a bit, that's ok ;)
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The Touchpad is a very special device thanks to all developers that created all the different Android ROMs.

The Tablet can be set up in many ways and also be use that way, to go over all the possibilities, it will need it's own thread, but here is just a couple from the thousands !

The Tablet is 100% unlock, can be rooted easily and will never get brick. ( this is the most important of all )

1. Google play store can be use as a normal device, it will slow the tablet but if use properly it does the job.

Options not using Open gapps ( google play store )

2. Use Aurora Store to download Apps.

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/galaxy-playstore-alternative-t3739733

Great browser ( Bromite )

https://www.bromite.org/

Youtube alternative: NewPipe

https://newpipe.schabi.org/

Use Racoon to download Apps from the Google store to PC and copy to Tablet to install.

It allows to run the Tablet with Apps only, just like laptop.

https://raccoon.onyxbits.de/

Due to the size of the screen, all Microsoft office Apps works 100% free and very useful.

Too many options, look for how you will like to use the Tablet and you will find a way to do so !

---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

You are welcome [MENTION=1929454]Chromatic[/MENTION],

There is a lot to read, as there are many different OS ( WebOS, LuneOS, SailfishOS, different Android Roms,)

Not all Tablets are configure the same way and the user must be aware of the process.

But is just very basic: Automatic_Wipe_ALL ( Does it all ) it setups the tablet to be use as a 100% pure Android device.

Then select the ROM to flash and follow the flashing order to get all working properly ( All can be flash at the same time )

Reboot and the Tablet will boot into Android, all is done nothing else to do!
[TouchPad Development] bsorli:
Aurora Store is new to me and Bromite, I'll check them out and thanks. YouTube Vanced is by far my favorite YouTube app and it's a little complicated now too install, but it still works perfectly.

Either way, thanks fir the reference, Sorli...

Update - Bromite browser download didn't work - com.android.webview_81.0.4044.127-1587600620_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

Do you have a link that works on Tenderloin?
[TouchPad Development] Chromatic:
I really appreciated using webOS. A friend of mine gave me a Palm Pre for testing and I loved it.

Something that bothers me far more than playing with custom ROMs (well, it doesn't, in fact!) is the spare parts for this tablet. The back of the Touchpad started cracking at some places, and no way to find suitable solution except tape. Maybe for now...

Regards
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
There are so many tablets out there, you can even find them in the trash almost intact and fully functional.

Take a look on ebay:

Most of those tablets works perfectly, the user does not know how to resuscitate.
[TouchPad Development] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
I was on twrp 3.1.0 with dirtyunicorn v13 20190328 installed (and also webos) and planned to swith to evervolv 9.0 pie rom

I flashed the twrp 3.2.0 from this thread and then rebooted recovery but it failed to boot twrp with error message:

Selected: 'boot Recovery'

Loading '/boot/uImage.Recovery"... OK

Checking uImage... Invalid Size

BOOT FAILED!

Press Select to continue.

Now I can still boot into dirty unicorn 9.0 pie rom but not TWRP anymore.

Anyway to get twrp back?

Unfortunately, I don't have root in dirty unicorn 9.0 pie rom so I can not use root explorer to replace the uImages in /boot/.

One possible way is using adb to replace the twrp 3.2.0 uImage with twrp 3.1.0 while I am in dirty unicorn 9.0. What is the specific adb commands?

Edit: I think the initial issue is that twrp 3.2.0 is larger than twrp 3.1.0 in size which makes the /boot/ partition with only 2K left (total size is 30.98 MB for /boot/partition).

So my second question is how to use twrp 3.2.0 while keeping webos, and android.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The /boot partition did not have enough space for TWRP 3.2, the flash process will show that all was copied, but it did not.

When trying to boot into TWRP 3.2 the file size is incomplete.

There are two options:

1. Clean up /boot and make sure there is enough space to copy 3.2.

2. Use the novacom driver on a PC to load TWRP 3.2 into the Tablet's memory at boot time and flash Pie. ( Every time that TWRP needs to be run it must be load it from PC )

To repair load TWRP 3.2.1 into memory:

On a PC with novacom dirver install.

unzip TWRP 3.2.1 rename uImage.Recovery

connect tablet to PC in WebOS Recovery mode ( USB Symbol )

open a Terminal command from the location of the unzip TWRP files and type:

novacom boot mem:// <uImage.Recovery

TWRP will be loaded into the Tablet's memory and can be use to flash any ROM and does not need to be copy in the /boot partition.
[TouchPad Development] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
I booted into webos and replaced the twrp 3.2 uImage.Recovery with the smaller twrp 3.1 uImage.TWRP and now I can boot into twrp 3.1.

What files I can delete in /boot/ to get more space for twrp 3.2?
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
In this post I listed all the /boot partition details of dual boot WebOS and any Android version plus TWRP 3.2.1

I have this rom installed.

I am trying to install microG. I can not use magisk to install microG since magisk doesn't work with our device (flashing magisk fails with error code 1 of "!Unsupported/Unknown image format" when unpacking and patching the boot.img).

The other method to install microG is using twrp to flash NanoDroid with microG, which requires the rom supporting "signature spoofing".

So my question is: does this rom support "signature spoofing"?
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Magisk does not work on the Hp Touchpad, use SuperSu v 2.82 for root access.

MicroG works on the Hp Touchpad, read this post:

[TouchPad Development] CCreativeCND:
Touchstone

Does the Touchstone wireless charging work with this rom? If so, does the 'dock' functionality work as well?
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The Touchstone is software independent. It charge the Tablet regardless of the ROM, it even works in TWRP Recovery or completely off.

Yes the dock functionality works well with this ROM and all others.
[TouchPad Development] elginsk8r:
None as of yet, I just moved into a new house so I don't have reliable internet access outside of mobile data. The older devices tend to require more work than I have had time for between moving and work. Once I get access and a few minutes of free time I will be plugging away at legacy devices (Touchpad, Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2015), and maybe even Nexus 5/6/7). I believe flintman has or is pretty close to having full boot on TP, something is preventing the fstab from being read and mounted properly.

To be quite frank the device needs a new kernel base, 3.4 kernel is getting harder to update every release cycle. There is a 5.0 kernel floating around that looks promising (uses mesa rather than proprietary blobs for display) albeit missing some key hardware support in it's current state. If anyone would like to take a look at the kernel sources and see what can be done it can be found here https://github.com/flto/linux/tree/msm8660. Building and booting instructions are here https://github.com/flto/linux/wiki

[TouchPad Development] PieGuy128:
Cheers for the mention! Though in the interest of giving credit where due, flto had a large chunk of work done that I'm building off of.

I'm currently trying to work out a bizarre video artifact issue I've run into - waiting on some gear to make a headphone jack to serial cable to see if there's any kernel errors in the background.

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
Hey all, long time no talk. It's been a few years since I've touched one of my TouchPads. Had a desire for a tablet, though, and thought I'd give a look and see what's happening in TouchPad land.

Having some issues with this build -- namely, that sound seems to drop out after a few minutes, 100% consistently. It makes beeps and bloops when I touch the buttons shortly after bootup, but by the time I get anything actually running, sound is completely crashed and not happening. It seems like the sound crashes out sometime during loading the first app to run -- if i just stay in the launcher all the time, i can get sounds working, but as soon as i launch something, it's dead.

Anyone else run into this, possibly come up with a fix? Or able to suggest a release that does work?
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
There is no problems with sounds with Pie or any other ROM, sound is SOLID and the best feature of the Tablet due to the speakers, is like a BoomBOX.

The attached screenshot is of today, a fresh flash of the ROM post it here:

ROM was flash as is.

Touch sounds is active as soon the Tablet boots into Android OS.

All sounds can be configure.

To test streaming the following App was installed:

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases/tag/v0.19.6

Attached are screenshot of streaming live and it can be like that for ever.

If Bluetooth is need it to stream to other device, then Evervolv 7.1.2 Android Nougat will do the job.

On this link, all ROMs can be download and flash in anyway, sounds works on ALL.

[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
I've been around here a long time, and I've seen my fair share of roms that had varying issues with sound, as well as with pretty much every other piece. You don't need to defend it so stringently.

I installed this build on two different TouchPads last night, and both exhibit the same problem -- sound works until an app is launched, and then it is dead. I don't presently have a machine with any of the dev tools installed, but my guess would be that the logs would show the sound service crashing out. I can check on that sometime in the next few days, but I figured I would ask here in case anyone had a quick fix for it. I remember the same thing occurring frequently around the 6.x builds, as well as in the 4.x builds, but I don't know what the eventual fixes were to see if that was something i could quick tweak. Or if there's just a way to bring the sound services back up after they go down.

I'll probably try out the 7.x 4G build since one of them is a cell capable tablet, although i've never used it with a functional sim ..

(btw, if you blast the speakers a lot, you'll crack the casing of the tablet.. )
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
I have set the maximum possible volume using Apps to boost the level and sometimes when it goes on a very high tone it could reboot, but that's about it.

Developers spend a lot of time getting the ROMs working and it has been incredible how reliable the Tablet works with Android.

I am trying to clear any confusion in reference to any ROM not performing properly. There are users that are trying to flash this ROM, Pie using the ToolBox, an impossible task.

There are too many guides out there on how to flash Android ROMs for the Tablet, must of them never got updated on using TWRP by [MENTION=1137185]flitman[/MENTION].

Providing wrong information does not help nobody and that is why I will defend it so stringently.

If anyone has a problem, the user should list all the steps on how the ROM got flash the Apps been use.

The ROM as "_is_" works, other modifications add on or changes is up to the user to find out and fix.

Here is a link of a screen record of this ROM, sound was never a feature to validate as it always worked.

How is the Tablet set up ( flash )

Using Open gaps?

What App is use to play the sound?

Thanks !
[TouchPad Development] maroonmoon:
So here is how I installed the ROM. I was dualbooting with webos and luneos. I used hptoolbox to clean all partitions.

When I tried installing the latest 3.2 twrp, I realised the toolbox no longer supports it. So I used HP_touchpads iso to install twrp. Then I followed the instructions to install the swap partition script, ROM, 17xx frequency patch and pico gapps, all from the thread provided by HP_touchpad. The ROM is definitely faster than last time I tried android on the tablet (v5 lollipop I think) but there are definitely bugs all around. E.g. sound, launcher, camera and Bluetooth are known bugs.

Not discrediting the work of anyone, but just letting the developer know. May be someday we might have a fix.

In case anyone needs logs, please ask. Do provide the instructions to do so as well.

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 AM ----------

Wow you are quick. First of all thanks for all the work you have done. I keep falling in love with my tablet because of the amazing work of the people here.

I tried pluralsight. It worked for sometime. Then I minimized the app. When I returned back after sometime, the sound was gone. I tried headphones which also didn't work.
[TouchPad Development] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Well you have tried WebOS, LuneOS so you are experience on flashing and setting up the Tablet.

You probably flashed the Automatic_ Wipe_All to reset all the partition and have a clean install.

I just looked at pluralsight:

https://www.pluralsight.com/product/downloads

Is that the App you are referring to?

As posted by the developer on the first page:

Camera and Bluetooth is a work in progress ( not working )

The Camera does work at first then starts misbehaving.

I will suggest to use 7.1.2 if you need Bluetooth and Camera.

( You are very welcome )

We all trying to provide the support and help that got neglected by the Tablet manufacture at first.

I think the Tablet been a "USER Device" instead of a "Corporate Device" turned out for the best.

There has been all kind of support for almost ten years and who knows if it goes into " Unlimited Lifetime "
