Anyone recommend a good note taking and calendar app. I would like to use my touchpad as a digital notebook/ art maker so I can take my notes and doodle on my free time. Thanks

Recently sold my Touchpad but this is driving me crazy. I put many many hours into this game.

There were several different colours (maybe 4 or 5?), You picked a colour at the beginning, and you had a bunch of little particles that followed you around. As you absorb bases, you get more particles. You can absorb the other colours' particles. You won when all the particles on the screen were your colour.

It may have been called IceBreaker? I'm thinking Ice something but I couldn't be wrong. If you've got it could you post a screenshot of it so I can confirm that's the right game? I'd love to find it on iOS or Android

Hello,

I got the dreaded left and right flash on the home button and I have not been able to do anything about it since Saturday. Things I've tried:

• Leaving it on the official charger for over a day.

• Putting it on the touchstone for I forgot how long. That was connected to the official charger.

• On top of the touchstone, connecting it to to another charger (but I'm not convinced that even works) for over a day.

• Let it charge on USB3 then USB2 ports of my computer for over a day.

• Hold PWR+HOME, PRW+HOME+VOLUME for a minute, press HOME/PWR ~60 times while holding the other.

I tried a few different cables that are fine with my other devices as I don't have the original Touchpad USB cable anymore.

I believe many years ago I had a problem, not sure if it wouldn't charge, or just start, but I was able to fix it with some software. Maybe it was tpdeblock? Not sure anymore, but just in case I tried it again. Alas it ends up with this:

ping check failed. setting ip addr and retrying...

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Second ping check failed. Aborting.

Also since the first failure with tpdebrick, the home button does not flash anymore so I feared it was bricked dead, but tpdebrick does see when the unit is plugged or not, and when I've pressed the buttons or not, and then it does its full routine till above failure, so probably not.

I would appreciate any idea on this.

Thank you!

I am either having a major brain fart, or my touchpad is starting to finally malfunction. I pulled it out of storage, and got it to turn on and boot to cyanogen mod Android. I can't figure out how to turn it off or boot it to WebOS. Ive tried holding the power button, but it doesn't do anything other than turn the screen off / lock the device.

Any suggestions?

Not sure if anyone is still following this touchpad thread, but I have some questions about installing Android on my TP. First, do I need to use a PC to install as all I have is a Mac? Is my TP supposed to have Android 4.4 already installed and is it needed to install other versions? How do I go about finding out if Android 4.4 is on my TP? I see that there is a video and a set of what looks like complicated directions for installation at the XDA developer's forum. Is there somewhere on the net that has a less complicated set of instructions as I am not a developer? Finally, any suggestions about how to proceed or even if it is worth making this change to my TP would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi, are there any good, slim external touchpad for windows 10, something similar to the Apple magic touch trackpad, but not as expensive. I don't want one that has buttons, I want one that I can click on the pad itself.

Suggestions would be helpful, thank you

I found my old touchpad and I am trying to get it working again for my kid to use. I need to bypass the activation, but the devicetool comes back as no device found.

​

I am able to see the device in the device manager under "Other Devices > Palm". It has a yellow exclamation point in a triangle over it and states the drives aren't loaded. I have found directions stating to uninstall it and then when it is reconnected it should be found by webos doctor, but everytime I reconnect it, it shows as a Palm with no drivers and the doctor or devicetool won't work properly.

​

Any ideas?

Does anyone know this Keymecher touchpad or own it? I saw it on Amazon

I am wondering how I can factory reset my touchpad, right now it has a version of Evervolv on it, and its practically useless as it always crashes or freezes up. I just want to browse the internet and was thinking that the OG version might be best?

I have a touchpad someone gave me currently running a Lineage Nougat rom. I'm wondering if I need a different firmware or if maybe the Touchpad isn't the right device for us.To explain my use: We're in lockdown in upstate NY, and my kids are learning piano with the help of an app. The app plays sheet music and then listens via the mic for mistakes and notifies the player like a DDR style game. This app works fine from a phone but the screens are too small for sheet music. The Touchpad running Lineage N installs it fine, and the screen is much better than a phone. But it seems to randomly stutter and lag, sometimes so badly it kills the real time experience of the game, causing major player frustration. I'm noticing the system just sort of runs like that sometimes even outside of the game. Even opening a browser seems impossible at times. I did a hard reset already and have nothing installed aside from 2 apps (a document learning one and this one). Is it just a bad rom? Or are all of the Touchpad roms this bad? Is this just not the right device for this task?Money is tight with all my jobs cancelled until after the Corona epidemic, so I'm trying to make do with what I have available. Thanks!

EDIT: Fixed it!
I have no idea what the previous owner did, but it was slow and laggy and bordering on completely unusable. It seems to be a common complaint, yet I can't believe there would be development still if it were THIS bad (sometimes the lag would get so severe, something as simple as bringing up a keyboard would take 10+ seconds to appear, and often would get stuck for longer unless reset again).
But thanks to this thread I was able to clear everything off and start over:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/hp-touchpad-optimize-android-swap-t3901773
It was actually remarkably simple. I didn't need to install any of the TP tools on my desktop, it was just a matter of copying zips over USB and flashing them in twrp as per the instructions there.
First zip reset all internal data and set partition sizes, etc, even installed a newer twrp for everything that followed to work correctly. Then I picked 7.1 Evervolve as I had heard good things about it, and continued with the instructions to flash their kernel (started off with the lowest OC kernel 1674, just to be safe). NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERNCE!
Sure, it's not going to pass for a flagship performing device in any sense, but it can handle simple tasks like a champ without debilitating lag. Screens even seem to scroll smoothly (scrolling through a list felt like a slideshow before). I'm not sure if others had similar experiences and given up, I strongly recommend checking out that thread!

I have just charged my Touchpad for the first time in a very long time and the screen is unresponsive, except for one corner. I have an old version of Cyanogen Mod installed and I can access the boot menu and load either that or WebOS. Can I factory reset it using just the physical buttons?

I will probably eBay it but I want to wipe it completely first.

Thanks

I have revive my hp touchpad by re-installing webos on it.

I wanna install some old webos games on it but nowhere to be found.. I remember playing Need for speed hot pursuit on it when I first got the hp touchpad and it was great...anyone has a backup of this game or other webos games?

I tried evervolv and lineageos. Evervolv was very slow, lineage was annoyingly slow. Before that, I had Cyanogen ICS and it worked great but not too many apps supported it anymore. To that end, if there is a usable rom above kitkat, I'd try that.

Both my Lenovo Legion Y530 and my partner's device (Surface Go) have a touchpad as primary mouse controls. While gaming (any game, with wasd movement and mouse as camera controls) it seems like palm check is active.

I have tried EVERY single darn option I found online but the two devices only show the option of HID compliant mouse and driver in every single option menu. And there is no Synaptics options in properties. Also there is no synaptics in regedit/hkey_local_machine/software.

Downloading synaptics driver and trying to install it also went unsucessful, because "There is no available synaptics device" or sth like that.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, installing new drivers, etc etc etc.

So the touchpad does not work when buttons are pressed and it has nothing to do with synaptics as that doesn't exist on our devices.

WHAT TO DO?

I have a wacom tablet, also labeled as HID device in the device manager, that does work when buttons are pressed, so it is not a general problem but one regarding the touchpad and only that.

Mine is a gaming laptop, there must be an option to disable palmcheck, mustn't it?

Please help me I am struggling with this thing for months now and it drives me crazy. I am not this incapable in IT stuff usually but I'm not the most tech-savvy person either for sure.

Please if you have any idea, help me, I am so mad at this point

I recently order a laptop with a Synaptic touchpad with I cant find the control panel.

The Elan have that for example.

Hey folks, since I haven't used my TouchPad for a long time now, I'd like to give it a second live as some kind of kitchen dashboard. I'd like to use it for YouTube, Spotify and to show me recipes while cooking. Now I'm searching for a fast and stable ROM that doesn't take minutes to open an app and crash every 5 minutes. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm not even sure if I'm spelling those ROMs right and I'm not even sure how many people still browse this sub. I found my old TP and want to get it updated. It's running Cygan 9 with Android 4 I think (At work and it's at home to confirm). After googling it seems there is a way to get Android 9 on there with Evervolv. I found instructions on it and the downloads but want to know if I need to remove Cygan before or anything. I don't want it taking up memory if I'll never use it again.

Can't seem to find steps or tutorials on how to go from Cygan to Evervolv. I'm not a developer of any kind but I can get by if I get good instructions, I mean I was able to have Cygan 9 installed before.

32GB Touchpad for sale. webOS 3.0.5 Had Cyanogenmod 9 on it. Cannot fully uninstall it because I only have a Mac & cannot find ACMEunistaller on any website. She turns on and holds a great charge. Comes with a leather case. Private Message me if interested!

I was just looking for an OEM charger because my Touchpad doesn't charge well with the AC adapters I have (lost my original one years ago). I messaged the seller and he confirmed it includes the AC adapter along with the charging dock for $15! That's a steal considering the only other listings for the OEM AC adapter without the dock are ~$12-13 and ship from China.

It looks like a black grid that you move the plate that to put you finger on instead of sliding your finger tips on it.

What are they called?

I have not opened my touchpad in a long time. But trying to de brick it per jcsullins tpdebrick process. But I always get stuck at netchip mode when I try to bring the touchpad back to life through PC. Anyone familiar with netchip mode error and debricking touchpad?

Hi,

I have 3 HP Touchpads here. They have no use as tablets to me anymore (and I'm sure they'd never charge anyway!).

Has anyone seen any project that use their hardware? I'd like to try something with them if there's opportunity to do so rather than binning them.

I would love to try turning them in to stand-alone touch screens for a PC, something like the DIYPerks video on recycling old laptop screens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfirQC99xPc).

Has anyone seen any projects/uses for old Touchpads?

Thanks.

I applied the following ROM sets on my Touchpad a few weeks ago:

cm-11-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20141231.zip

Every time I boot up my Touchpad the Android browser starts up on the Google home page. I can easily flick it away but it's still a bother. Also, performance isn't as snappy as I remember ROMs that I used originally back in 2014 on this machine.

Can anyone recommend a better set of ROMs that I can install? It'd be nice if it supported more recent versions of apps that this set does, but performance is more important.

Thanks!

Hello

I have a Touchpad running CM hat I decided to dig out of my drawer. It mostly works, but for some reason, I can't use the play store because it always asks me to login.

​

Should I ditch that version altogether and upgrade to something newer? What is the best guide to do so? I wasn't able to find anything complete.
