Any chance to get Android 5+ on Razr i one day?
Got CM12.1 working on it, but it can't be called a phone anymore. Just a dump device with a touchscreen and video playback without sound.
Without some proper work of someone else, LP won't be a thing on XT890.
Newbie here. I've been an avid WebOS fan since the first Palm Pilot. My TP just isn't being used anymore, so this week I used JS's Toolbox and installed Lollypop cm12 on my TP. It works pretty good and thanks to all who worked on the project. I have noticed however that the team is now working on Marshmallow. Does this mean that development on CM12 is coming to an end? (and that the camera may never work on CM12?)
I would ask in the development forum but as a newbie I can't post there yet.
Thanks again to all.
CM12 for touchpad was dead long time ago.
I am typing on my touchpad running marshmallow which runs better than lollipop.

So everything was working on CM11 but CM 12 they never got it all to work so they moved on to Marshmallow? OK I guess I try and install Marshmallow and see how that goes. Lollipop is working fine but just has no camera so if there is no camera in Marshmallow then whats the difference.
Thanks for your reply.

Actually, camera does work on some lollipop roms for the the Touchpad. I have previously used flintmans Evervolv lollipop rom which has camera working. You could give this a try if camera is a priority for you, although the camera quality on the Touchpad is just not that great. There is only one marshmallow rom so far for the HP Touchpad and it is a Evervolv Rom not a CM rom. Even tough there are still some bugs, its solid for a alpha build. Its worth giving a try.
Do you happen to know which ROM the camera worked with?

The latest build for this rom has the camera working:
[ROM] Evervolv | 5.0.0p1 [AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1] [3.4 kernel] [TESTING] With DM
I used a cm ROM, that's why. It's working really well so I might just wait a week or so to see if Evervolv Marshmallow gets the camera working first, if not then I'll try the other one.
Tx for the reply.
WAS working well until....... I changed the keyboard color and turned off the sound for the keyboard typing. The very next time it went to sleep it bricked! Now how do I unbrick it?
Does Bluetooth load right

Tried a hard boot three times, nothing.
Tried a three button hard boot 5 times, nothing.
Plugged into PC, nothing.
Opened WebOS doctor, connected TP, nothing.
Started Doctor and did 2 more three button resets..... on the last one (obviously) the USB symbol showed up..... and WebOS Doctor Crashed.
Then the HP logo showed up, so I left it...... overnight and in the morning the HP logo was still on and hung.
Did another hard three button reset and the tablet booted normally into Lollipop, go figure.
Using cm-12 tenderloin
So it crashed again, went to sleep and wouldn't wake up with connecting it to a PC and doing the three button tango. Time to try Marshmallow.
Got it running again, went back to the default white keyboard and turned sound back on. Haven't had a crash since.
Interesting. I need to dust off my Touchpad and put some Marshmallow on it
Leaving it off the charger but asleep for 28 hours, battery is still at 94%. I think thats pretty good.

tpdebrick will do the job.
edit:

If you have an original hp charger, put it away for emergencies. Get a 2-3 amp charger for regular use and hold that hp charger aside for emergencies. I've had an occasion when the hp charger was the only thing that would charge a bricked tp. If the battery is too far gone, the charging circuit won't work with a generic charger. However, generic chargers are fine the rest of the time.
If the tp is bricked, just plug it into the computer (with drivers, web doctor, and novacom), run tpdebrick, and follow the instructions. If the tp wasn't in USB mode, it'll tell you which buttons to press and even when to let go.
If it says there's no TP and you know the TP was previously recognized by that computer (indicating good software setup), then that's when you bring out the hp charger. Let it sit for a couple days and try tpdebrick again.
One final general note. The TP is real sensitive to power spikes, so be very careful when inserting or removing the power. If the USB connector shell gets deformed and allows the plug's pins to short across the connector's pins when plugging, it's 99% likely that the tp will brick.
You guys didn't read my last post, after connecting to the PC, hard three button boot attempts several times, got it booted up, restored to default keyboard, turned keyboard sound back on, and haven't had a crash since.
Nice to know about the HP charger. I don't use it but I have it. I have my TP docked on the TP touchstone charger.
This thread has seemed to get a bit off track. To address the question, TP on L versus M, I recent switched to Evervolv 6.0.1. There are a few glitches (ie. camera and BT not working), but otherwise its been smooth sailing, and the main improvement I have noticed is the battery life improvement (seems Doze works on the TP). I wouldn't use the camera (originally it was pretty bad anyway), and the only BT device I miss so far is the original HP BT keyboard. I have a hunch the dev's will sort out the BT issue eventually.
btw, pretty amazing that my first device running Android 6.0.1 would be an vendor-abandoned 4 year old tablet intended to run webOS.
With cm12....1110 I get awesome battery life, no crashes since I mentioned the above keyboard issue. but no camera. Haven't tried pairing bluetooth to anything yet but it runs. Only issue is wifi cuts in and out inconveniently. But I always had that with WebOS on this tablet too.

Camera works in jcsullins' Lollipop CM12.1 20151116, so I'm not sure if I understood your post correctly. I haven't had any WiFi trouble beyond the WiFi trouble that occasionally crops up in any of my WiFi devices, Android or otherwise.
I'm impressed with flintman's Marshmallow (still in Alpha testing, as of this writing). I think it holds great promise, but it doesn't have a working camera or Bluetooth, yet.
So I really only use my tablet to view pdf documents so no intensive gaming or anything. So recently my tablet has been crashing randomly, showing these multicolour bars down the whole screen and after about 15 seconds it shuts itself off. After it shut itself down I am able to turn it back on and it runs normally again. I have no idea why this is happening and I am unsure whether it is a hardware problem or software. This happens everyday I use my tablet. I am running the teclast ROM that was installed when it arrived. I have never changed ROM's but I am willing to do it if it will fix this problem. Also I have never flashed an android device before so a noob friendly tutorial would be really helpful.
EDIT: Here are pictures of my tablet crashing, any help would be appreciated

I got the same problem since I bought it a few months ago man, nobody could help me back then and thus my tablet is in gathering dust here ... I hope someone can fix it

Have you tried changing the ROM?
I have the same problem. Flashed different roms including dualboot windows 10 (I have 32 gb version) but it's still crashes everywhere. Be careful if you want to install another roms, it can crash during the flashing (mine crashed when I was installing windows 10 for the first time). Also it looks like the tablet works fine after powering it off properly and charging for some time. It also not crashes if it's charging constantly. Can't find any other fixes unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply! I will try powering it off and charging it completely but I am not very hopeful.
For my tablet I still find it crashes even when charging so that does not work for me
I also have the same problem... did someone find a solution until now?
Bump

Presumably this is a hardware problem although the stripes alternate 'good' / 'bad' with each crash (first stripe normal, next stripe corrupt then the next crash the first stripe is corrupt, next stripe is normal) and it happens both portrait and landscape. It is also becoming more frequent - used to be every 2 hours; now every 10 minutes. But I like this tablet with the cut down google ROM. What would be a good alternative in today's market - x98 air ii ?
Been running JCSullins CM11 ROM on my TP for a long time now. Pretty much just use my TP for Perk TV these days. However, CM11 doesn't work well with Perk. It get a black screen with infinite spinning indicator most of the time, and other times it'll play an ad and then just get stuck (frozen). Thinking to switch to anything else. Anyone have experience with other ROMs and Perk TV?
instaled full version of pigasus the other day, works brilliantly.
Now tho after upgrading my phone to android 7.0, oculus demands WQHD to be enabled other wise it wont run
Now playing 3d vids occasionally works as it should, but most of the the time its completely stuffed (freezes, tearing, blank screeens etc)
anyone noticed similar ???
