The 20150112 version has brought full Youtube functionality for me (can't say anything about Netflix, since I don't have an account). Great job!

Correction: YouTube only works up to 360p, anything higher than that will still fail.

I'm noticing a strange issue. I use an app that downloads movie. At seemingly random intervals while downloading, the wifi will tank completely. When opening settings-wifi, no wifi points are found and/or listed. Toggling does not help. So far, only a reboot gets it back. I have only had this occur while making a lengthy download. Small downloads, basic browsing (chrome, facebook..etc) have not as of yet been impacted. The timing is random, so i'll do what I can to get a logcat. Until then, has anyone else had this occur?

Got it to work with - UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip - installed in TWRP.

It has root built-in. It's off by default now in CM, but you can turn it on in developer options.

I haven't noticed that. Does toggling airplane mode work? That works on my phone when the WiFi toggle won't.

Hearthstone using Evervolv 5 runs fine but this ROM won't handle a match without freezing mid-game, which is surprising considering how responsive everything else is.

How long to boot CM12 on Touchpad?
I saw a post that said "a LOOOOONG time". Can anyone provide me with an estimare as to how long I should wait before I consider the device hung, please? It's been almost half an hour. Thanx.

Everything works fine. I can even see AC bandwidth and was able to connect. The only main issue that still not fixed is that it does not recognize all BT devices. It is also slow first time with most of the applications.

Upto an hour depending how big your gapps package is or in my case 3 hours as I was also reinstalling 60 apps.
But you should be able follow the progress by connecting to play store and your apps to see what is being downloaded /installed.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][5.0.2][3.4 Kernel] CyanogenMod 12.0 Nightlies
How can i instal the new Lollipop 5.0.1 in my HP Touchpad. I downloaded al the pa.gapps.pico, FLITMAN, and Cyano 12. This is what i did.
I use the TPtool, complete data reset, and transfer the 3 files but i get an error message. How can i rezise the partition or how is the way to do it?
Do i need to add those 3 files in the Tpinstall folder and do a TWR recovery or wipe the data and install the OS with the new cyano 12?
Thank you

touchpad 4g
I have a Touchpad 4G model. Does this build work fine on it? I don't care about 4g data connections.. just wifi is good enough for me.

... considering that ART cache is way bigger than Dalvik cache (way bigger), and that our old TPs have very low eMMC performance, both sequential and random (iops), could it be that ART on the TP is/feels slower than Dalvik ?

That may limit the benefits a bit but I still found ART on 4.4 quite a bit more responsive, and now 5.02 is just super smooth.

Just wanted to say thanks, this rom gives the HPTP new life, if this had existed three months ago I wouldn't have bothered updating to a tab pro, and I have a feeling the tab pro and it's idiotic hardware navigation buttons is going to be gathering dust now.

My TP must not like LP then. First of all, games are slower here and there. Just a minor framerate drop, nonexistent on KK (Example, Motoheroz)
Then, the common stall, like TP is waiting....
At least for me, KK is still faster, and it's not placebo. It's the difference between a pleasant experience or a unpleasant one

First of all thanks for the great post.
I successfully installed the latest rom 31-01 but after a while it freezes and needs a factory reset.

Hello Team,
I have all over all a little bit a different feeling. Is it possible, that the kernel is the problem of buggy stuff? Why:
- I tried the cm11 with kernel 3.4, it was really instable.
- I tried cm12 with kernel 3.4. The same issues.
- On cm11 I go back to kernel 3.0 and cm11 by milaq, working quiet ok.
- The same with cm12. Milaq's Version is based on kernel 3.0 and it is running.
Can it be that the kernel 3.4 does not run on all HPTP?

Hi, im using the lastest build, its working great, very stable. However, im facing a problem that is the time for charging battery is really long. It did not happen when I used the CM11 (4.4.4) build. The fact that I do not use the original charger. How can I fix this problem? Thank you.

Nightly builds are published test builds and unsupported. They always have been. They are experimental, volatile and too many issues come and go to be clogging up the bug tracker (intended for releases) with them. These are NOT primarily for users; they are to test the build process and for developers and device maintainers to evaluate. They are shared with users under these conditions, so you can use them or not, but issues with nightly builds are categorically rejected in the bug tracker. Hence; threads like this.
If I'm running the RC0 now, do I just flash it on top or do a clean install? And are the subsequent nightlies flashed on top or clean install every time?
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
The nightlies aren't for everyday use, and they can also not work at all (i.e bootloop). If you need to ask questions, chances are you should probably stick with RC0
Like attn said the nightlies are for devs and device maintainers, and more advanced users who are interested in the very, very latest code but they are totally unsupported releases, hence the no bug reports & questions angle. If a particualr nightly gives good performance increase or a new feature that is sought after, you will probably hear about people using a particular nightly n the forums, in which case it tends to be safe to flash it like a normal ROM (yet still totally unsupported)

Had issue #1 in the nightly #1 (06/24) as well. On Nightly #2 (06/25) and I still have that issue and have noticed another one. Can someone confirm if they have it too?
1) Switching cameras (front to back and vice versa) freezes camera. Camera doesn't work until I reboot. Once rebooted, the camera shows the image from the camera you selected fine. Might be an issue with the code not properly initializing the camera from which data is to be taken or not properly releasing the camera being used first.
2) In the music player, the progress bar seems a bit off.. there is a disconnect. If someone can tell me how to take a good screenshot, I will
A (rather) lame way to show it in ASCII would be..

Yeah there is some camera bug in the latest nightly, worked fine the first time after flashing, but black screen and crashing since then.

Nice to know it wasn't just me.
It lasted me 19 hours 50mins from 100% to 48%. 3 hours later, it went to 8% and needed a charge
Flashed RC1. Let's hope it does well Charging up the battery now
Camera works well.. No issues with it so far in a brief test.
Had noticed another issue in Nightly 3. Was playing music and the phone auto switched off for power save. A couple of mins later I hit vol up for vol increase and the player skipped to the next song
Wasn't able to reproduce it since.

Flashing Nightlies is such an addiction, and the battery life seems stable and the decrease is steady, no drastic reduction.

[Q] Tried Everything - Touchpad Screen Unresponsive (CM9)

Hi
Looked for this issue on the forum and can find instances of it happening occasioinally, but not with the frequency that i have. Symptomns are that the screen will stop responding to input. I.e the screen stays painted but does not respond to my pokes or pros. Flicking the screen on and off for a split second fixes it. I believe its related to software or resource usage -sometimes i can go for ages without issues, however in the last half an hour this has happened around ten times. please help!
I have tried isolating it down to a particular app with no success, and also changed the CPU governance settings, asgin unsuccessfully. I have no such issues in WebOS.
Thanks.
ps running CM9 alpha 2, but had same issue on 0.6
flash the latest nightly.
screen unresponsive281]flash the latest nightly.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the reply. I may consider doing that, guess that with a Android backup I don't have much to lose. Would like to avoid it if possible as not being as widespread they aren't as proven and I've ironed out all other issues in alpha 2 such as wifi etc ...
Thanks
the latest nightly offers quite a few fixes.....
including vibration from sleep and tons of other stuff. not much can go wrong.

There has been loads of improvements in CM9 wifi has been fixed sound distortion when the screen off is fixed many speed fixes we now have themes working
Do a nandroid backup in CWM then copy that to your pc for safety then wipe system partition DO NOT FACTORY RESET OR WIPE DATA or you will lose you data, then flash latest nightly and latest gapps then wipe dalvik cache/cache partition's then in advanced fix permission's and reboot system
Well.... I dip my hat to you guys.
Went ahead and installed the latest nightly - even if it doesn't fix my issue, I was suprised by how polished it felt compared with Alpha 2. Typically with bleeding edge stuff I'd have expected to have more issues, but alls I had to do was reinstall YouTUbe and flash the gapps-fixer zip for my Calender sync, plus I see lots of lovely new settings to play with.
Will report back if the screen hangs again, here's hoping...
Frustratingly this issue has started happening for me again running 31 May nightly - touch screen has become unresponsive half a dozen times in the last ten minutes.
Maybe trying wiping it and doing a brand new flash from the latest nightly. (I know it sucks to reinstall stuff, but maybe there are some leftover codes that is causing trouble.. )
i agree either to wiping data or up your min cpu speed as it might the amount of apps you have installed that auto start/resume when turn on the screen..

Moving to Q&A
I only had that problem once. Rebooted by holding home and power never had it again.
Sent from my YP-GI1 using XDA
Had this issue yesterday for the first time since installing cm9 6(?) months ago.
Tried a nightly build as suggested, but given the rarity in the first place, can't be sure it's fixed
This happens to me all the time across all ROMs I have tested.
This happens in OaT's and turning the screen off/on, fixes it temporarily.
This happens in Butta, but turning the screen off/on does nothing. I have to reboot using power/home.
I have also been unable to find a specific app that causes it, but it does seem to occur more often in graphic intensive games.
I can go for days without it happening, then BAM, it stops responding to touch, from that point forward, no about of reboots or full shutdowns seems to fix it for several hours. I'll reboot and sometimes it'll be immediately, sometimes it will be 3-5 minutes, but it will happen again.
Then a few hours later it'll stop happening and I'm good for a few more days.
Do those of you using CM9 find that screen off/on fixes it, or do you need a full reboot?
I am running the night lies and have to say that the only time I experienced this was with the may nightlies. I have not experienced any issues with the 7/04 nightly.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Interestingly enough I think I found out what causes the screen to stop responding. When the TouchPad is locked in landscape and then I turn it portrait while its still locked, then the screen becomes unresponsive. Does that make sense?
Sent from my Touchpad using xda app-developers app
I take it back. The screen became unresponsive even in landscape mode. There goes my well formed and thoroughly investigated theory.

I've been using Nova Launcher ... I switched back to Trebuchet and it appears to be working normally. Of course I may be spouting this half-cocked like I did before. What launcher are you using?
I run SPB 3D launcher and do not experience any response issues with the latest nightlies. I use my touchpad constantly as a laptop replacement so mine gets a workout every day. To my knowledge, no one was ever able to find any one app that was responsable for this behaviour but it was noted in earlier builds.

Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I too still have this issue - as per others, fine for days, then it will occur consistently and I keep having to screen off/on and eventually it stops of its own accord. Am sure its a software issue, but someone here says they also had it in WebOS and HP provided a replacement.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20740-screen-unresponsive-in-cm9/
For me as simply flapping the screen on/off fixes it and I've never had the issue within WebOS, it has to be software - this started as soon as I first installled CM9.
Bump - still no fix identified for this by anyone with this issue please?
To anyone still following on, followed nevertells advise and completely started again from scratch and it happened after about twenty mins of using the stock browser. I think i've tried not using that app before so am just going to assume that this is either a software bug or a hardware issue that only manifests itaelf within Android

Very good ROM
Only 1 issue - couldn't turn off NFC, neither in notification bar, nor in settings. It would just pop right back on. Had to disable it in app settings. In battery info it's showing NFC to take up 40% of the power.
If someone is uncertain - this is IMHO good for daily use, no crashes so far.
One thing, when screen is off Battery Monitor Widget shows +875mA current on 2A charger. But when I'm using the phone (mail, web browsing) it shows that battery is discharging "-100mA", even though it's connected to charger. Is that software related, or I need to replace the USB socket/charging circuit in my 4xHD? I have it since yesterday and I instantly flashed CM :/
NFC: Read and you'll find it out. Otherwise trying the most trivial idea regarding any software would work as well.
Charging: No problem there, the system lowers charging current when the device gets hot, i.e. when you use it.

Are you sure about that? That's the first phone that did this to me. LG GT540, and LG G2 were charging pretty fast, even when under 'heavy' usage (playing games, etc), and 4xHD have dissapointed me utterly, when it has screen on and I'm just using dictionary/whatever (Wi-Fi and mobile data off) it's slowly discharging.
Man, I think I'll cry after G2's battery life and features in a while.

Problem with Wireless
Hi,
I have a problem with my wireless. Especially with the wireless network eduroam which is used by several universitys. It uses 802.1x EAP with PEAP and MSCHAPV2. It seems when I'm changing my location the wireless crashes. I'm not able to turn it off and the whole configuration and mobile internet crashes too. After crashing there is a information that the configuration was terminated. I'm using the version 11-20140916-SNAPSGIT-M10-p880 but I also tried the newest nightly. Sometimes the wirless crashes in my home Wifi. Is this bug already commited and what I'm supposed to do?
Thx.
I have no problems with eduroam, just used it for around half an hour without issues.
I'm using Official CyanogenMod 11 M10, and the phone is pretty much rock stable. The only things I would like changed are:
1) Boot time to be shorter
2) Battery consumption to be more efficient
Can we expect these problems to be solved on the next Stable/Snapshot build?

Flash CM11, I'm on 20141018 nightly and it's pretty much usable as a "daily" ROM. Just get recovery (AFAIR you need at least 6.0.4.4 to flash KitKat ROM), flash it, copy ROM and google apps to your SD card, wipe cache, data, format system partition, wipe dalvik (I don't even know if all of this is necessary) and you should be good to go. In recovery thread there will be tutorial on how to flash it, and as you flashed a ROM already you should know how to do the rest

Hello, anyone else noticed that your WLAN-MAC changed during upgrading to latest firmware? I was updating from 20A_EU-->20C_GER. Phone originally came with Telekom Firmware (German). New Baseband works okay for now, crashed yesterday 1 time, but maybe it was related to me hitting the traffic limit on my contract and getting throttled. I'm using the nightly from the 27th.
data connection loss
Hi!
I've been facing this issue for a long time now and i tried a ton of roms, switching back and forth from the cyanogenmod 11 to omni and others... I find almost impossible using my data connection 'cause every time i switch it on, after about 5 minutes i end up having no connection at all (no service). Sometimes my phone asks me to reenter my pin number and everything seems to work fine for a couple of minutes, then i have no service; sometimes it doesn't even ask me the pin code and i have to reboot my phone in order to make a call... How can i fix it? It has driven me crazy, i searched all over the forum for answers but it seems none has my problem.
EDIT
In addition, since i keep off the backlight of the buttons on the bottom, i noticed that whenever this bug occurs, the backlight goes on and keesps staying on 'till i switch it off again, even if i reenter my pin code

No nightly's?
Hi,
I am currently on the Liquid Smooth 20.10. go, but I am surprised that no new versions are on the go. Is it so that only a new Nightly appears if there are changes?

Remove battery for restart.
Hello,
When i charging my battery power off, i can't restart with the power button.
I must remove my battery for restart.
Somebody have this same problem ?
Thx
cannot install liquidsmooth rom
i'm still new in installing roms. i was able to install rxtreme rom, i would like to try the LS rom. i downloaded the latest nightly rom, and it prompted installation aborted.
i compared the rxtreme rom that i downloaded, it was 1.2gb. but for the LS, it was just over 200mb. i hope someone here can provide me detailed instructions on how to install Liquidsmooth rom on my s3 i9305.
systemui crashes
Hi guys,i just installed the rom and after the reboot i enter the pin code and that message about systemui pops up every 3 seconds.
EDIT:SO i installed the previus version and everything seems fine exept some random camera issues and the notifications
swipe to left functions most of the times doesnt work or maybe it has to do with spesific apps.Can i upgrade to the latest nightly version without doing a hard reset?

Read the instructions at the beginning of this thread. It's all there.
It is a little different to rxtreme.
You will need to download the ROM and GApps. I'd download Milestone version - read earlier posts for location.
Go to recovery, flash the ROM then GApps.
Hope all goes well.

Thank you for your reply. My battery is original , it has to come from that.
LliquidSmooth Cameria Issued
I want to thank you for this great Rom, and after many many thank you thoughts i want to ask you if there is something i can do about the camera. After taking 4 pictures camera freezes and can't connect anymore. Thanks again!
Review of the liquid smooth i9305 ROM 4.4.4
I've been using this ROM for the last four months and my verdict is...
...it's ****. S. H. I. T.
So bad that I've gone back to the stock ROM. Maybe it's because the i9305 is a relatively unknown phone (compared to the i9300). Nevertheless it's evident here that little effort has gone into research and testing of this ROM. Here are all the issues I came across during my usage of what is the most terrible android experience I've had.
Battery life: This ROM basically chews up the battery faster than a fat kid in a candy store. Seriously sit back and watch, throughout the day, as battery percentage slips lower and lower until it knocks itself out. And then that brings me to the next problem,
The phone will not charge when the battery is completely dead (phone off): That's right the phone has to be on, before this ROM realises that it should be charging the phone.
Camera: The camera will take about 4 shots, sometimes 10, if you're lucky before it completely fails. The only way around this is by performing a soft or hard reboot. Super fun when you're at a party and when taking a group image, the camera ****s itself. Even with third party camera apps the problem persists.
Microphone: I don't know how a ROM could possibly **** up the microphone, but this ROM succeeds in doing just that. Any recording performed sounds like a 1950s CB radio. This is an experience that you force on everyone you call by having the audacity to use this ****ty ROM.
Multiple Application Incompatibilities: Several big ticket applications fail to run with LiquidCrap. For example Skype refuses to initiate and Viber will not make video calls. That leaves Google Hangouts which for some reason decides to induce a 4 second lag in every word in your conversation.
Video playblack: Wow a custom ROM that refuses to easily work with flash video. The developers solution here is to force you to use dolphin viewer to browse and run some flash mods to work. Unfortunately none of that works. And it's not just flash that refuses to run. Any HTML5 gif or video will not play. Then there are some videos where only the sound will play but nothing else. Good luck watching anything on youtube which is not accessible by the youtube app. Which surprisingly works well.
Random restarts: Oh were you typing in something important? Would be a shame if I just...restarted right now.
Screen Rotation: Lags.
So if you're 13 years old and get a kick out of changing colors in status bars; by all means get this ROM. If you actually have responsibilities and need your phone....to work. Then avoid this ROM at all costs. Hell, avoid every custom ROM for the i9305. Unless it's a slightly modified stock Samsung. This as this there's less chance that something is royally ****ed as in the case here.

Hi Guys! Im fairly new, I only flashed about 10 roms. Using this rom for 5 days now, I have a lot of problems, bugs. But I want to give it another try, because I heard very good things about this rom. so...
garbled "mosaic like" graphics on locksreens notifications only when Im moving them with my fingers
garbled notification bar icons when running tinder
strange scrolling in play/own apps during app updating - app rectangles in the listing seems to detach from the scrolling background, moving slower/faster.
various gfx glitches too fast or short to recall
camera is unusable, ugly FCs, "cant connect"s, even reboots, or phone freezed up for several seconds. using power button release seems to make it worse.
it was clean install, full wipe (FR), + cache before and after flashing. (Philz Touch)
installed:
LS-KK-MileStone-3.2-i9305.zip
Liquid_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.1.zip
I came from stock KK, it was the NEE version (I9305XXUFNL1_I9305NEEFOA1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME). and some others before that.
Can I make an "even cleaner" install...? Can it be some things left from other roms causing these problems?
Or any advice, so it would work like on your devices?
thx in advance
ps: sorry for the previous post
Hi guys, I have been gone through previous thread but still can't find a proper way to fix the charging animation problem. When turn off my phone and charge it I can't the animation....Do I need to try other Roms?

Have you had any luck on sorting your problems out? I've found this ROM to be amazing.
It's fast, smooth and everything works well.
I've played with lollipop ROMs but they have issues so keep coming back. Though when aicp 5.1 is sorted, it is a decent option; very fast and smooth.
Anyway I am using TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery and stock kernel that came with the ROM. I do a full advanced wipe them factory wipe. I also use SuperSU.
If you're still having issues you could store your files in an external SD card, totally format your internal storage and start again from scratch.
Hope that helps.

Hi! thx for the answer, but I did everything, apart from I left below. What do you mean by total format? How its done, with what app, and how the carrier/region etc related content is put back after that? I have latest philz touch, and I do dalvik+cache+full wipe before AND after each flash. Im not concerned about my files, everything is on ExtSD and cloud.
Yes the rom is much cooler than CM for the first look, but after 5 days heavy use I got serious problems just like the angry guy mentioned a few post above. after I moved in all my apps and stuff, it lost its smoothness, FCs, and hard battery drain with hot phone.
But the main thing was after I wrote my post, I realized that this rom is not maintained anymore, which is a problem for the 9305. U gotta use what is maintained, so the last day was so bad with this rom, I went back to CM immediately! Which is a dream in simplicity, speed, and battery life, and the latest only few days old!
of course Im still interested in the total format you mentioned, and in this rom, if it gets sorted out...

There are different ways to fully format your internal drive but you will need to backup any important data files to your SD card first. A full format will wipe it clean. I don't use philz these days but from memory you mount system, data etc and format them. Other options are files like those provided by Agni developer for F2FS will wipe it clean as well. As I use twrp it is different again.
I've been on this ROM for months now. It's fast, smooth, no FCs, and with decent use through the day I get 2 full days out of the battery before a recharge.
I use Greenify app, turn off fast dormancy and if there are drainage issues it's generally about finding the rogue app. Titanium backup is another must have app to backup and restore apps. It makes things so easy.
It's not maintained as you say but I don't see that being relevant; it's a well cooked 4.4.4 ROM! You can use other options such as F2FS +/- ART to tweak performance.
The only ROM I'm playing with at present is the 5.1 aicp which is super fast. Only had bug with Apex launcher my launcher of choice.
Have fun! Cheers

PAC ROM on Tenderloin/ HP Touchpad
Hopefully, I am not the only one with this issue. I have searched around but no answers
I installed the latest PAC ROM on my Touchpad and have been able to update it to 4.4.4. I moved over from Evervolv and the performance jump appears to be significant. I do get the sense that the screen resolution/display is a bit reduced and not as high quality as the Evervolv version but it could be a simple case of my eyes deceiving me.
Regardless, here is my question - I have set up multiple users with me being the owner/administrator and the other accounts set up as restricted users .
The device works fine under the Administrator/Owner account. However, the restricted user accounts do not work. I have setup three different accounts and selection of any one of them after startup causes a reboot. Switching from an Administrator/Owner account to the restricted account also leads to a reboot.
Would appreciate any help/guidance/suggestions on how this can be fixed. Thanks.
My device take so long to reboot and also big lack when I use power or home button to wake up the screen. Other than that I love this Rom and using in severeal devices. Running latest 10-31 here.
PAC ROM and Multi-User setup

Any one wanting to help me? Or do I have to post 10 of these silly notes to get to post to the real forums?
Hi
Thanks for the rom, I've had a coupe of issues, hope this feedback helps. The first one was after installing the 3.0 kernel 18 nov rom, mounting the ext partition on Windows 7 was flaky. Attempting to copy large chunks of data back to touchpad would freeze after about 100 to 300 mb. However, plugging in since had worked fine. Strange.
Trebuchet was scaling icons on home screens and drawer. Switched to nova and all looks better.
Next is the pac settings. Just enabling halo once has messed things up with the button bar. Back stopped doing any actions. The button settings section is broken, with buttons and lastly sub menu having top headings of rearrange/settings repeating every time you switch to the settings app. When it's like this neither rearrange our settings respond to key press.
After a reboot back button works for a while, and then stops working (across all apps and launcher).
Flashed 24Nov, back button issue still there, now considering to remove user data. If there's an option to restore pac defaults I might try that.

Or your issue is so specific that no one else has reported it, and since it's not repeatable, no one can help you. Most likely any issue with multiuser in CM11 is with Android itself, not the ROM. Try some other ROM and see if you have the same problem.

Very valid.........or it could be that there is a problem with the ROM?!
I had a different ROM about two months ago and multi-user worked fine on it. I switched to this ROM for performance. Although I was able to setup multiple users on this ROM, I cannot log in to the additional user accounts that have been setup
Hoping it is a bug with this ROM and I can get educated on the option to fix it. Please help and bump to the regular discussion thread where I can post my request.
Thanks
shumash, thanks for posting the query to the main forum....no answers but that is not the point. Thank you for being helpful and for taking the time. Appreciate it.
Hopefully, there will be an answer OR it might that the ROM does not support this feature. Via a terminal window, I have verified that Android is reporting the max number of users that have been setup. So, have to think it might be bug in the ROM.

I just setup another user account (not a restricted one). Rebooted and logged in with no problems. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be with the ROM.

Good golly, that is good news indeed!
So, I retraced all of the work. This time, instead of restricted users, I setup up regular additional users. Kept my fingers crossed, waited for the planets and the stars to align and watched the screen closely. No go. So, something is not quite right then at my end. shumash, thanks for the confirmation.
I did the next best thing. I updated the ROM from Oct 13 build to the latest. Cleaned the cache, installed the ROM and GAPSS and restarted......and then waited......and then waited.......and then some more......and then some more......did I say I waited for the boot process to complete?!
Finally, the screen is up, and I setup the additional users and then selected the new user to login. It worked! Deleted the new user and setup a restricted user. It worked! So, only thing I can figure out from this excitement is that the old ROM had a problem which has been fixed in the new ROM....or some gremlins were out to get me and they are now gone.
Either way, thank you. I have a working device. Will play with it some more and share feedback if u like....but here are a couple to consider - the start up process is taking almost five minutes....my PC boots faster! The Oct ROM was a snap to boot up but this is on the slow train to nowhere! Not sure what happened last night but I went to bed after the update around 2:30am....turned the device on at 9am and found the battery had run down completely. Not sure why.
Seems there are some compatibility problems with online audio streaming and blue tooth speakers? I cannot get TuneIn to work with external blue tooth speakers. The stream is lost and TuneIn craters......will give it a try for a few more days. TuneIn itself works fine. But when I try to stream to an external speaker via BT, it is goodbyesville.
let me know if you want me to share feedback.....and if u bump me into the main forum, I can post it right there rather than this rookie holding space!
A bit of an update......figured a few more things in life with this ROM
The battery issue was a one-time thing. Have not seen that drainage issue again. So, good news. What I did see is some thing is not quite right in how the battery is getting charged. My completely drained battery was fully charged in less than 30 minutes.....something that takes quite a few hours normally. I can only chalk it to something not quite right with the code in the ROM regards battery charging and capacity. Backing this is the Battery Doctor app.....while it states the battery is fully charged, the ROM indicates charging is not yet complete. Not sure which one or if both of them are getting inaccurate read on the battery in this ROM. Will keep an eye on it for a bit more time but no issue with battery drainage
Same story on the wireless streaming on BT. It was a bad call. All is fine but I seemed to have lost all of my bookmarks in TuneIn. Had to set them up again but will keep an eye on them.
Now if only I can get excited about watching paint dry or the grass growing while it reboots.....sigh!
Another update.....there is still something funky with the battery charging. I thought it was a mistake and a non-issue in my update yesterday. There is an issue. My tablet went to deep freeze last night. Cannot quite figure out what the issue is.
The tablet was at 65% charge when I was ready to call it a night around 2am. To be sure that there was nothing else that would cause problems, I rebooted the tablet and set it aside. The battery charge went down to 64% after the reboot. Set it aside for the night to check on its performance. Tried to turn it on @ 9am approx and the device would not come one. No sign of life when placed on the charging stand. Not even the dead/empty battery sign. Left it there for a few hours and still now sign of life. Did a hard reset of the tablet and it came one and displayed a charge of 13%. That is after it was on the charging stand for atleast 3 - 4 hours which accounts for the little bit of charge it showed. Took all day to get full charged. Did not touch it until it was fully charged. I am going to do the same tonight i.e. reboot the tablet and set it aside. Will see what happens.
Anyone experience this with the Dec release of the ROM? I installed the Battery Monitor widget to see if I can figure out what is going on. Will share an update when I see a bit more information.

Despite other claims to the contrary, the Touchstone charger has always been funky for me. Try using the usb barrel charger.

I will have to dig for it somewhere.....not sure if I have it anymore! I think I do, but not sure where it is.
I have been using the Touchstone charger for a couple of years now without problems......so, unless, we have an extraordinary coincidence, I would not think that is the problem. But again, strange things have happened......will post an update when I have figured out more clues.

The Barrel charger comes with the Touchstone you just need a decent usb lead.

Thanks, sstar, for the tip. Fortunately, I found the original charger cable and barrel. As I suspected, the issue was not with the Touchstone. I have charged with the barrel as well as the the Touchstone. I seem to have stabilized the issues with no more surprises. No more run down tablet with no charge left, no more blue tooth streaming issues. Have not played with the camera, etc. but that is not an active need for me.
Multi-user works well, device streams well, blue tooth works well, battery charges well (with the charger as well as Touchstone). All is well in PACROM land., atleast from where I sit at!
Open items from my end is the long boot time. As I mentioned earlier, the October release was a snap to boot/reboot. Less than a minute. This version takes almost 5 minutes - one minute of a blank screen followed by over 3 minutes of insert coin. I am sure there is a reason for this change and that smart folks are working to get this improved. I did notice that the boot sequence often fails and starts over once or twice before settling down to complete the full five minutes of startup.
Now to the mystery of what could have discharged the battery completely - I have no clues here. Atlease once, I did not see it complete the full boot sequence, so perhaps, it crashed during the boot sequence and bled the battery dry. Other times, I know it was a fresh boot that had completed fully. I have installed battery widget to monitor the battery charging/discharging and have noticed an anamoly atleast once which could be simply attributed to an application/measurement error. The widget reported a battery charge during the middle of the night when all creatures big and small in this home had gone to bed.....excepting the gremlins who volunteered to plug in the tablet for a charge for a brief moment!
Thanks to all of the good folks behind the PACMAN ROM. It is a wonderful and capable ROM and is an excellent demonstration of the community putting its best foot forward for the betterment of life! Thank you all again. Kudos and keep up the good work.:good::good::good::good::good:

Probably not a ROM issue. With latest build, mine boots in 40-50 seconds. Don't know what your problem is, but sometimes it's a network issue. Turn off wifi, boot with it off, and see if the boot time improves. If not, you may need to go the complete clean and install via TP Toolbox.
Disable NavBar on HPTouchpad PACMAN Rom
Hey All,
I've installed PACMAN Rom KK RC-3 dev recently with kernel 3.4 and it works very well. Battery live is very good and everything works a bit smoother than with my old CM11.
I choosed PACMAN because there are a lot of customisations... so i liked to get rid of this navbar! Can't count how often i hit HOME instead of spaceon the virt keyboard.
i planned to enable pie on the bottom border left side.
Now i have trouble getting rid of the navbar. In the Past pacman had customisation oints for AOKP, paranoid settings now there's only PAC settings. After Googling i can't find these settings (maybe because these posts where from jan-jun and an earlier pacman version)
ROM control > navigation bar > menu location > don't show
Hybrid Properties --> Interface, under Workspace drag the slider for "Navigation Bar Size" to 0%
installed build: pac_tenderloin-userdebug4.4.4KTU84Qeng.shumash.20141201.130846 test-keys
Can someone point me to the correct settingspage or give me a hint?
Do i have to wait for a newer release?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work, you've gained a follower for this ROM
