-Each Rom requires a corresponding Gapps package for its version of Android. 4.4.x Roms need 4.4 Gapps, or 5.x.x. Roms need 5.0 Gapps.
-Each Rom has notes about its details and a rating for the battery drain during deep sleep.
-Three recovery types are available to choose from; each does the same tasks but the interface is different, CWM, Philz CWM, TWRP.
-Check the Rom Developers thread for their recommended Recovery file downloads.
-Once you've transferred the files to the “ttinstall” folder close it and safely eject the HP Touchpad from your PC.
-Once its safe to remove your hardware select “Unmount Media Volume” from the TPToolbox menu on your HP Touchpad.
Note:
-Be sure to use only all data media files or only all non data media files, do not attempt to mix the two types.
-If you accidentally mix the two files types you may need to run the Complete data rest or the Erase USB drive procedure again to fix the issue.
TPToolbox checks your File's
-The TPtoolbox will now check the files for compatibility then begin to set your partitions/volumes based on the type of Rom you’ve selected. If it fails to run it will display which file is incompatible, start the install again and replace the offending file(s).
