[G Pad 8.3 General] Sean09:
I have emailed Wayne Park to have the concerns about updates for the Gpad and G2, so hopefully a reasonable response will be forthcoming. I have also directed them to this posting as well as their social media (ie Google Plus) where users are either trash talking LG, or posting begging for updates. Has anyone else heard anything or tried contacting LG for update information without success?
[G Pad 8.3 General] HrLaursen:
Respons! Lucky you

Hi!

At least you got a respons. In Denmark LG do not offer support... only a noisy answer machine, no one ever picks up. The connection get disconnected after 3-5 min.

Lucky for me, I'm still happy about my G Pad, but I really want a better software/rom. So much default good has been kept out. Anyone know a working custom rom?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about LG. Pretty soon Google is going to buy South Korea, saw it off from the peninsula, float it out to sea, and anchor it off Marin County on giant Android shaped pontoons.

Thank you, thank you very much....I'll be here all week..don't forget to tip your server.
[G Pad 8.3 General] votinh:
You got the response from LG and still saying "poor"?

I bought the Surface tablet which running Windows 8.1, I called Microsoft and demand them to release Windows 8.2 and pressed them to support this device when they release Windows 9 in the future and they didn't even respond.

I called Apple and told them that i would buy their iPad Air if and only if they would tell me when they gonna push iOS 8 onto this device, otherwise I wouldn't buy it.

Are Android users too spoil?

I've seen too many xda members saying "I'm not gonna buy it since poor support, late update, ......." So many excuses.

Just don't buy it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Geordie_Ahmed:
You actually sent them an email saying “remember who pays your salaries"? Wow
[G Pad 8.3 General] Sean09:
I don't feel it is unreasonable to hold them to the same standards other manufactures are providing.

I also feel that if they can find time to post useless things all day on social media they can invest time in product updates for the people who pay for their products.

seems like I could not get it on shop.
[G Pad 8.3 General] HrLaursen:
Hi!

Not yet. Bilka might get it in the store next year, but for now no... :) I took the chance, and even through the software would be better of with some Samsung adjustments, I really like it. Long battery time, great size, fast and the Knock on feature is used daily. :)

[G Pad 8.3 General] henrik.dk:
Maybe I should just order it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] testadeferro:
This tab is just fine, even with android 4.2.2. They should to fine tune it a bit more instead of get claiming android system updates.

I own a S4 and to tell you the true 4.3 don´t brings much over 4.2, and somehow battery is draining faster in 4.3 as in 4.2. Same happened with my N7 from 4.2 to 4.3.

I know it´s legit to claim updates, but better LG take time and bring stable updates as the tab know is. LG software and the tab itself are awesomwe.
[G Pad 8.3 General] HrLaursen:
I have a S4 as well, and it's able to run for 2 days +, if I don't use is all the time. I think the 4.3 update gave more speed, fixed some bugs and gave better battery.

The LG G Pad is great. But I miss many features from Samsung. I hope a 4.4 will come in Q1 2014, it could be great, if they focused on optimization and everyday features. 4.4 is self should be a lot faster than 4.3.

[G Pad 8.3 General] situman:
As the saying goes, vote with your wallet. That'll get their attention quick or they just quit this segment of the business...
[G Pad 8.3 General] testadeferro:
I never managed 4+ h screen time on s4, with s3 you get more then 5 hours screen time. Two days you can manage with no use or soft usage. Its known in many devices that 4.3 heats more juice then 4.2. I saw it first on n7 then on s4. And now on s3 too. Faster ok but more juice.

What you miss from samsung? Knox? Warranty bit? Secure bootloaders? Touchwiz full of crap? LG is touchwiz like UI and with less crrp...

If you need help in anything concerning ROM you may ask me outside XDA. you got that for inserting ROM banner in signature which is very appreciated.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArnisHoti:
no problem, i have faced this "bug". i disabled the navigation bar and rebooted the phone, but enter the app drawer all the icons of the apps that were installed in sd, are disappeared, the apps are still there but the icons are not, they've got full transparency or i don't know. I have fixed this uninstalling and installing to phone memory. But still the best ROM i have ever flashed in my lt15i. hats off :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
i just did that and nothing happened, i guess because there was no app on SD card ( i have a 1.9 GB internal space ) anyway, i moved one app back to SD card and it's appearing fine in drawer, so you try to move back the apps to SD and see if this fixes the launcher bug.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedyvirus:
how much system partiton is needed for installing this rom?

if it is less than 310mg i can help you to port it xperia play
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArnisHoti:
thanks it worked, - respect
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sunsqare:
Happened to me. Clear data, icons reappeared.

But left 1 thing, launcher menu, calendar events are totally transparent cannot see text.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
im not sure if 310 will do, couldn't you do some tests ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] weaponXandroid:
Hi Omessy7 tested your rom since evening and few feedbacks,

First of all Rom is very smooth compared to previous build. No issues except,

1) when I stop a running process in settings>apps> Running then it refreshes and take me back to Downloaded tab instead of staying in Running tab.

2) My launcher keeps refreshing when I goto home from any app.

and loved the rom. great battery. ( see the attached image)

Would have loved to see the modified Xperia Launcher from the previous rom. That was really looking great.

Thanks.

(My first review in Xperia Arc S community) :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
what kernel are you using ? and are you on the LT15i FW ?

i have been using the ROM for quite a lot and to be honest i haven't faced a single launcher redraw (refresh) .just now as i was typing this reply i stopped 3 processes and everything was normal.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theanelfro:
[MENTION=4913069]Omessy7[/MENTION] bro can you share only the osb cuz i flashed another systemui.

by the way your rom is masterpiece so far i doesn't need another rom.

the speed is WOW! not even a single lag.

great job bro! :D :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theaks30:
check in the developer settings whether you've enabled "don't keep activities". If yes, uncheck it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
Thanks man! hmm,the OSBs are found in XperianZe systemUI :( i can give you the PNGs needed for your own use if you know how to implement them in your SystemUI.apk :highfive: ....out of thanks! will give you when my 8 refill. enjoy the rest of your day

EDIT: also [MENTION=4432994]theaks30[/MENTION] good idea. didnt think of it since i hate that option.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] theanelfro:
hh ok bro, i can live without them :highfive:

;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
its totally portable to xperia play if he uses a debloated installation..but on play i really think we have a similar rom and already built..:cool:

hi, when I flash last version with new rush kernel it stucks after kernel logo(black picture) and restarts few time like its bricked...I did everything like usual wipes, check md5 even tried to flash rush kernel v14 but still nothing...when I flash other rom with rush kernel everything is normal. Please help and thx for hard work

are you on LT15i FW ?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mariobl:
I install Rom but first apk from Sd card dissapear in launcher than after reboot and wipe data apk is show but still superuser apk doesn't work, and I can't open root browser to install 5*4 Z1 launcher because I don't like this launcher. Everything other is perfect smooth speed specially battery life.

Edit: superuser root rights work when install ROM but when I do backup data via cwm than superuser doesn't work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
Kindly follow the guide by me in my signature "Arc to S" this will solve your problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
if you are facing an app that is disappearing from launcher (launcher bug-on other launchers this does not happen), move the apps to phone, do a reboot then move to SD or keep on phone. to install another launcher simply install it like normal apk,then choose it to open by default and using an app such as "chef freezer" you can uninstall system apps as well as freeze them.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mariobl:
I can do that when superuser works before cwm backup recovery apps, but after backup data and cash superuser doesn't work. I don't know why that happens why superuser permissions wouldn't work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
you could use other methods to backup your things ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kanelk:
[MENTION=4913069]Omessy7[/MENTION] I use your rom since you released it.I can tell that you're a ''theme monster''! Battery life is very good and i like the features of this rom a lot.The only thing that I'm not familiar with is the launcher but this is solved easily.Unfortunately i can't use the kernel optimized for this rom.I have a Neo V....But with lupus kernel all runs fast and smooth.Keep up the good work!

By the way I saw you're a recognized themer now.Gongrats!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
Thanks a lot mate... would you like the old modified Xperia Home ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kanelk:
Yeah the old modified launcher was awesome! I extracted the launcher from your previous version and installed to this version.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
Modified Xperia Home

in case anyone would like the modded Xperia Home found in older versions. Make it a system app.

-Weather widget can be found in OP.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JukiCro:
I used that lt18i fw and now its fine, thx for keeping our phone alive and will report If I find bugs:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
it's in AROMA. pick Xperia Ray in your installation.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JukiCro:
everything is good for now except the trasition: after pulling status bar down while I am on launcher home page, settings ect.

it shakes somehow like screen goes up and and then down in normal position, maybe it is becouse of full screen systemui...I dont know

one more thing: when low battery message pops up I noticed that text is black, its hard to read it...but can live with that :)

and launcher has 4x4 app drawer, 4x5 looks better but that's my opinion :P ...and clocks widget dont work for me but all this can be solwed by replacing with other launcher or similar apk's...

anyway love your work keep it up:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
yes that's because of the full screen toggling.

aware and didnt look much at the battery error as myself disable it.

im aware of the clocks and i guess as said before, if you want the widgets install them normally from ra3al's launcher thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JukiCro:

First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I've flashed the kernel and the wifi modules, wipe davilk and cache, but my wifi doesn't turn on.

I had the same problem on rush kernel V14. Tried a few times, and never succed with wifi. :(

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Omessy7:
If you are an Arc/S user with LT18i FW, the rush kernel should work...follow instructions as given in OP and don't forget the proper wifi modules. if for some reason you are still facing this wifi problem, use LuPus kernel which is still a great kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ppino:
Thanks for your answer.

The ARC S is my wife's phone, so I don't mess with it too much (only a little) ;)

It was on lupus kernel, but had some problems with a new game, so I tried RUSH V14.

With RUSH the game was ok, but wifi doesn't work. I red the thread a saw a few users talking about replacing files and giving permission, but don't know really what to do.

I've red that there was a new version, with your rom, so i tried with XperianZeRusHv1, but the problem is the same for me.

I returned to lupus v16, and messed a little with the rom (not yours, Jader's HD) so now wifi is working and the game too.

My wife's happy, so I am ;)

Thanks again for your attention,
