PAC-Rom 4.4.3

NOTES:

1. Read the OP
2. I experienced numerous "screens-of-death" (SOD). They are caused by the lockscreen not appearing when coming out of sleep. Set the lockscreen slider to "none", and they are completely fixed. Until the issue is resolved, if you insist on having a lockscreen, don't let the tablet go to sleep. You can only recover by pressing the HOME and POWER keys simultaneously until the pad reboots.
3. Read the OP.


Enjoy.

Dafuq? Shumash back on tenderloin? With a 4.4.3 rom? Using a 3.4 kernel? Awesome! I'm terrible busy but will try this ROM as soon as I can and report back.

Thanks!

Loaded it last night on one of my HPTPs'. Seems to run good, I will mess with it more tonight when I get home. I did a full wipe over one of my Evervolv machines. When I installed it leaves the Evervolv uImage in the boot menu as default. You have to ge in and remove it from the boot folder.

Thanks for the Rom, good to see you back.

First, thanks Shumash for giving our TP's more options that help keep it going! More toys, cool!
To Jerry, Shumash and others...
When coming from Evervolv to CM, I used a zip by JcSullins via recovery that sets CM as default boot but modified it very slightly to remove Evervolv from /boot and set CM as default at boot. I'm out of town so i am not sure if Pacman installs as CyanogenMod or Pacman in the boot menu. It could be tweaked with 7zip and Notepad++ if needed.

We could avoid this issue if there was a consensus among the devs about standard file names in the /boot volume on the TP like there is on phones.

It installs as CyanogenMod. I'm not a great advocate of having a bunch of uImages cluttering up /boot. I may look at wiping out leftover uImages during installation, but I'm always wary that it'll wipe out some essential recovery or other irreplaceable file.

Then that zip in my Post 5 of my thread will work. Flintman's script does the same thing wiping out some common files from /boot at install, but unfortunately it is impossible to account for all ROM boot filenames without a standard.

Did you get a chance to look at my request to devs at the end of post 5 about the filenames? Flintman seems to have some interest but I haven't gotten any feedback from the others.

Installed last night and seems to run good. Will give it a few days to check it out.

A couple small issues I did run into were the inability to run the update.zip of my apps from TiBu, it would prevent the tablet from booting. Backup worked fine in the ROM no problem.

Every so often get a error having to do with themes and blame the split screen...

A very nice surprise was the BT devices that were seen but not connecting in Evervolv work fine in this ROM.

Have to see how it runs, battery life, etc over a few days to keep off Evervolv
Great Job Shumash!

I don't have any problem with a standard naming convention for the kernel and ramdisk uiImage, but I don't agree with overwriting an existing recovery. There are plenty of users who like to have both TWRP and CWM on their machines when backups and ROM installations hiccup. Additionally, that's the kind of thing that causes monumental problems when your new installation borks, and you can't get at your backups because someone overwrote the recovery that created them.

We can continue this on your thread. I'll monitor it.

Hi shumash,

This is awesome news... I had always wondered and hoped if HP Touchpad would ever get some PAC love, updated to the later builds... And you have fulfilled that dream!!! Thank you so much.....

The only downside is that its a DataMedia rom, and at the moment I'm non-DM, as I like things just the way they were... Gonna have to look into this DM stuff now, and see the pro's and con's. If it's easy to restore back to non-DM structure, then sure... I'll give it a bash!!! :D

Just I had issues with my Touchpad about a year ago, just before going on holiday and all my partitions screwed up and even WebOS Doctor wouldn't restore it... Had to manually faff about and get it to rebuild and then run WebOS Doctor...

But so wonna give this a shot though, so yeah... THANKS AGAIN :D

Use jcsullins TPToolbox. It's as easy as everyone says. 15 minutes, you're done; don't like it, 15 minutes you're back.

Sound is not working right inside the app but exiting app and sound in background works fine. Movies, videos and streaming are unwatchable because of this but music players are fine, kind of a deal breaker for me until this gets fixed (assuming I'm not the only one with sound problems). Everything else I have tested so far works except for sound. Thanks for this.

    PAC Official Status

    The PAC development group has approved the TP, and it will become official as soon as my gerrit commits are merged. Because we have a bluetooth cherry-pick (courtesy of jcsullins), the updates will be weekly, not nightly. The download link is to the PAC HP Tenderloin forum (you can download the ROM there from my Goo site until builds begin). In the meantime, I expect to be working on overclocking the kernel.

    Enjoy.
