New recovery and modified ROMs
Hi there,
I've been able to successfully build a new CWM 6.0.5.1 which works with 4.4.2 ROM for our HP Slate 8 Pro
I've also modified the old recovery so that it can be used to flash old 4.2.2 ROM (changed the product name to fig)
The sad thing it that CWM 6.0.5.1 is too large to fit into the recovery partition.
I have no clue neither on how to reduce its size, nor on how to increase the recovery partition size on the Slate.
Therefore, it is bootable, but it cannot be flashed.
Also I have modified the 2 ROMs (4.2.2-1.00.09 and 4.4.2-1.01.02) according to the following:
Changed install_script so that ROM can be installed thru CWM
Removed all built-in apps that can be installed thru Play Store (eg: Gmail, Youtube, Box, etc.)
Added AOSP browser on 4.4
Added AOSP bookmark sync apk on both ROMs
Added CM LockClock widget
So, we have now the choice to install 4.2 or 4.4. Here are the ways to do it:
Installing 4.2.2
Download recovery 6.0.3.7 from here:

Reboot in bootloader mode: adb reboot bootloader
Boot recovery 6.0.3.7: fastboot -i 0x03f0 boot cwm_fig-6.0.3.7.img
Install ROM thru sideload: adb sideload android_4.2.2-1.00.09_20150102-groumfi-fig.zip
Install SuperSU thru sideload: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip
Do a full wipe and reboot
Notice
After a while, OTA will occur and upgrade your tablet to 4.4.2.
You can prevent this by applying the solution described here:
