I'm gonna try your ROM now, cm11 has issues for me
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sonjohn1:
Am I missing something? Am I required to use this dpi in 4.4? I'm missing the edges of my screen. I can't even delete widgets and apps because its not available to me, unless the process to do that has changed in Kit Kat. Also, where do I find the ability to delete the bar on the right side of the screen.? I hate KitKat's layout, we need a tablet UI badly. I'll take any help available. Thanks

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] channeledbymodem:
Newbie question re: wipe/reset

I am sticking with the CMB ROM until CM reaches a milestone. For some reason I'm not comfortable with nightlies. OTOH, CMB worked fine for me from the first iteration since I wasn't bothered by the camera and gps issues. Something like wifi would have been a much bigger deal for me and everything so far has been great.

However, I have now flashed all of the iterations in the past week and restoring my apps, data, and system settings is getting old. Mainly because every backup app I use freezes at some point of the restore (TB, Helium, My Backup Pro, Efficient Backup). To use TB I have to keep a list of which apps it hangs on when restoring and manually uncheck them before I begin. And then download and configure them again. It takes forever anyway and it's a PITA.

One of things I most appreciate about the CMB ROM is that it doesn't mess with my thousands of photos or my hundreds of ebooks which are challenging in themselves to restore. Now I realize that if I flash the latest CMB ROM with GAPPS, assuming I need to flash GAPPS again each time, *without* a full wipe/reset first (but with a Dalvik cache wipe after), I can update the ROM without losing all of my apps and data. I would like to think if the kernel is the same that this is a safe procedure and it is a huge time-saver.

Can I update that way or am I looking for trouble. In matters such as these I rely on the kindness of strangers. :)

Thanks,

Ron

Anyone else using Slimport Technology to output Vids / Games to the big screen..? I could not get a picture out on CMB but I can stock.. I don't have a MHL adapter to see if maybe that is more compatible with CM or not.. If anyone has any insight to this I would be thankful..
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I don't know, but I doubt that a regular MHL adapter would work on the G Pad, regardless of which ROM you're using, because I think the hardware supports one or the other. Wondering if anybody has tested Slimport on the CM 11 or on the GPE?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RaiderWill:
Also what's strange Woody is the G-Pad only outputs Video and not Audio through the Slimport Unit.. I've used a workaround to get Audio to my Receiver but when I owned a Nexus 7.2 , it fully supported Slimport Technology and output both Video & Audio ( as it should..) just through the Slimport unit.. So, I don't know if this is partial support the G-Pad is giving or what.. I'm back on Stock-Rooted because I got no Video or Audio on CM and I could not get MX Player to work as well.. even though the latest release is reported to support 4.4.. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I don't have a Slimport adapter to try out, but I think other people have reported that Slimport worked ok for them. Slimport without audio would be useless, so I don't think that's the way LG intended it to work. Maybe it's the adapter you're using or the TV you're connecting to.

Has anybody else used a Slimport adapter and did the audio work?

Are you talking about volume through the Slimport? Wouldn't the volume be controlled by the TV you're playing to rather than the G Tab?

Just installed this, working well, only issue is volume which is on the low side.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] evilhunter101:
Regarding your update strategy, that is always how I update my devices. I only wipe data and possibly internal storage when I'm moving between major android versions ie 4.2 to 4.4 or different roms like CM to AOKP. This has never failed me. However, I also always make a nandroid backup to external SD before flashing just in case. Usually a few days after the update, I go delete the nandroid if all is well.

When it comes to nightly builds and crackflashing, unless there's something I absolutely have to have if things go bad, I only nandroid once every 3 flashes or so.

No matter if I nandroid or not, I always backup everything to external SD using Titanium Backup prior to every flash.

Naturally, this information is just personal preference. You'll have to decide for yourself what method to use.

Good luck, sir
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] channeledbymodem:
No. I'm talking about the volume from the built-in speakers.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Zarrick19:

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Zarrick19:
Do I need to wipe data'n'stuff when I'm flashing only a newer build? I would like to keep my system, apps and stuff as it is right now. I remember I didn't needed to when flashing newer CM nihtlies, but it was a few years ago (actually a lot, those were the Froyo/GB times)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Nutsonfire:
No just install it over should be OK. I think you have to reflash also the apps though.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] channeledbymodem:
Definitely reflash GAPPS when updating ROM. Otherwise unless you are updating to a major version (4.2.x to 4.4.x) or moving from one custom ROM to another (CM vs AOKP) wiping the dalvik/cache after flashing will suffice.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] marvin02:

Just wanted to chime in and say Thank You for Sharing your ROM with us.. This ROM, out of the gate makes the Pad feel like it got bumped up to the Snapdragon 800..

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
All of the people with the "game issues" are experiencing the same problem I am with XBMC: no response to touch input within the application. I briefly tried all the custom ROMs in existence right now (CM11, PA, CMB) and none of them worked with XBMC (stock had no problem). First thought is something in the HW overlay, but I could never seem to capture a meaningful logcat to help diagnose the problem. If you install XBMC you'll see what I mean though.

Good job ! everything is faster and smoother than stock, it makes a hudge difference ! I find the sound a lot better too. It was really horrible with the lg rom, now it's correct.

I only noticed a few issues so far :

When I plug the tablet to sector or usb, it charges very slowly, maybe like 10%/hour.

The icon on the right of in the dock disappears everytime I reboot.

Lost Root

This looks like a great ROM. Great work! However, I flashed it once and lost root so I went back to stock. I re downloaded the Rom and flashed it again, and lost root again. Has anyone else had this problem?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] chadderbox:
Rebooting resolved the sensor issue for me as it didn't work after initial boot. As for root, need to read original post. This is based off Cyanogen ROMs and therefore root is disabled by default. Need to enable developer options and enable root
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sga999:
Thank you both for your responses. Actually, I'm back on the stock rom now....I'm switching around, just trying to get an idea of what each rom does and which one I like the most. So I never actually rebooted and checked the rotation! But I appreciate the advice and will probably be back to this great rom soon.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] whoamigriffiths:
The manual boot into recovery is a bit tricky.

With Device Powered Off And Unplugged

- Press and hold*Power Button + Volume Down

- When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only

- Now press and hold the*Power*and*Volume Up*button while keeping your hold on the*Volume Down button

- When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons

- Follow On Screen Indications and so long as you have a recovery installed you won't factory reset but boot into your recovery

IR drivers?

Guys do you know if IR drivers are present in this ROM?

I was able to install qRemote from LG ROM, select specific remote for my LG TV, but IR seems not working. Probably doesn't beam any signal...

It was working well on stock LG ROM.

Any ideas?

Other than that - this ROM works really good ;) The only issue I found is above one (IR not working) and second one is problem with SD card - it's not possible to delete / format it. It always cause soft reboot.

Hey guys, I am very interested in this project!

I only have some brief questions:

1) Although it is in beta stage, is this rom fully functional? I mean, pure android 4.4 for everyday use? No known issues, no hassles, no problems at all?

2) What if I don't like it? Can I revert to the stock rom? How?

3) After I flashed it and pressed 8 times to enable dev mode, can I have a *FULL root*?

Ciao from Italy!! :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gesamgr:
how go into recovery? :cyclops:

how root and install a new recovery? which is the best? :eek:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] EdenGottlieb:
1. Yep, fully functional. Everything up and running (I didn't encounter any problems)

Battery life seems worse than stock lg rom, uses a lot of battery when display on and almost nothing when it's off.

2. Make an NANDROID backup using TWRP, you can restore to it later

3. Yes, you can configure root access in the developer options. After selecting "Apps + ADB" Superuser will appear.

P.S. Keep in mind tham I am not the developer, just someone who uses this ROM as a daily driver, the developer might give you a different answer

Hey, thanks for the great work you do!

I'm a little concerned though, I got my G Pad about a week back and pretty much instantly rooted it and installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM. However it seems to be taking a lifetime to charge, it's currently at 60% but has been on charge for 8 hours.

I'm running the rc2a release. Does this sound more like a hardware issues as oppose to software?

I'm tempted to flash back to stock to see if it helps.

(mods can remove my other post, mine belongs here)

So i've been tearing my hair out for the past few hours trying to figure this out.

I've been trying to get my Galaxy S4 to update to 4.3, the newest 727.56MB update. I have tried to download and it downloads, reboots, and then loads to 25%.

I have tried deleting all of the busybox files in /system/xbin as well as uninstalling/full unroot on SuperSU.

I have, on top of that, ALSO done a factory reset, and STILL to no avail!

I don't know what to do at this point and am furious that I cannot get updates from AT&T if my device is rooted.

I still have the stock recovery on my phone, and no longer have root because I uninstalled it. (I rooted my device using the exFAT SDcard method a few months back in July)

So, if ANYONE could help me out that would be GREAT. I am so confused and now have a fully clean phone with all my information gone from it.

SO: If anyone can PLEASE inform me how I would go about updating my phone to the 4.3 update, that would be great.. please help me....

And, yes, i'm pretty sure that I can't update OTA anymore, but can ANYONE please tell me how to update then?! Please.

Thanks guys, hope to hear from anyone soon.

He said AT&T, which is SGH-I337, and I'm going to assume MF3 firmware (why else would he want to upgrade?).

As for the question at hand, there's a few download links for the update that people have pulled and you can reboot into stock recovery and try sideloading it via ADB or just flash it from your SD card. Just make sure if it's a .cfg file to change it to .zip before doing any of those methods.

Hope this helps!

I'm assuming you unlocked the phone with ADB/fastboot so you should be able to push and install custom recovery and flash SuperSU. You can't just download the SuperSU market app and expect it to install. You must flash it from recovery. After that it can be updated from the market but not installed from the market.
