[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
Brightness wise the N7 2013 seems to be a touch brighter, sharpness wise text looks just as good as the N7 perhaps even sharper, screen quality seems to be good overall no light bleed, that I can notice as of yet, no dead pixels, screen color is a touch warm but not overly warm like some of the nexus 5 screens were.

Just finished backing up my GPE Stock Rom which is solely for restoring purposes, as for converting the regular G Pad to a GPE Rom, I'm sure that will come soon as more Devs get their hands on the device, as of now I'm the only one with a GPE in hand it seems, unfortunately I am no developer. Patience is key, as more devs should be hopping on board now that there's GPE.

I'll put up a post with a link to the TWRP build i was handed in the twrp room on irc.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I mean I want your back up (if you removed all your stuff of course ;))

The warm screen can be adjusted through the app trickster
[G Pad 8.3 General] karandevilocs:
hey guys

i just heard about the news and god all my impressions changed about this tablet i just want to migrate from N7 2013 to it!

BUT ... here we have REGULAR G Pad 8.3 so i want to buy that and install THE GPE rom on that is it gonna be possible ?!

cause as u can see there are not so many developer supporting this tablet MAYBE this GPE will get some attention it needed from developers but i must be sure that i will able to run a GPE rom on the regular one as soon as i get it and i will sell my Nexus to get this one so is there anyone who had both N7 2013 and G Pad ?! is it good to change it ?! i will get it for most of the Micro SD storage and 8.3 Screen and a bigger battery and GPE made it easier to migrate !

and are there any issues on G PAD that i should check ?!

tnX guys!
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
I can upload my stock back up later tonight after I get off work, perhaps you can just TWRP restore it to the regular G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
My thoughts exactly :) worth a shot!
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
The thing that may keep it from working however is the kernel. The regular G Pad relies on Loki to boot anything that isnt signed by LG i thought. So if you flash something that doesnt have a Lokified kernel on a regular G Pad it probably won't boot. The GPE doesnt need loki obviously.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Sensamic:
Yeah for the video!! A youtube video would be awesome.
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
At work atm can't make a video till later tonight.

[G Pad 8.3 General] Drgravy:
ah oh well thanks anyway
[G Pad 8.3 General] Stu C:
Since the GPE ROM is released by LG, not Google, won't it have an LG signature?
[G Pad 8.3 General] mevensen:
What about the blue line issue seen the the standard version of these tablets? (thin blue line appears in many tablets after about 20-30 minutes of actvitiy, such as movie viewing).

Tread about it here, if you haven't heard:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531715

Hoping that this is a software issue that does not extend to the GPE version, which would also bode well for a patchable fix for the standard.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
I'm still tempted to snag one of the GPE devices and return my current non-GPE device. Given that I was able to take advantage of the Best Buy $280 deal last weekend, it will end up costing me $70 extra (more if I rush shipping), but I just really want an AOSP experience without the little nits that always seem to come with custom ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc.). I'm not disparaging the incredible work of the guys who make these ROMs, but I just feel like I've always wrestled with things like sleep-of-death, flaky wifi and/or bluetooth, etc., on custom ROMs even after months of refinement. At some point there's a value to having a device that's exactly the way I want it from the manufacturer...
[G Pad 8.3 General] whoamigriffiths:
Isn't it funny how we all have such varied requirements.

I have the original n7 and not only have had vanilla aosp but also flashed many of the available roms too and the ease of it has been dull.

On the other hand my phone is pretty poorly supported(HTC Desire C) and I've had a whale of a time. More so I think because of the sense of community we had whilst trying to get things done.

It's one of the reasons I chose not to wait for the GPE.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
And I've done exactly that on the Nook Color, the Touchpad, and the Nook HD+. It was fun for quite a while...heck, I became a flashaholic! But I also started to notice the amount of time I was spending doing basically nothing. These days my spare time is much less due to kids, work, other hobbies, etc., so I just want something that works and works well. It's the same general process that led me to abandon maintaining a home theater PC and pick up dedicated consoles and set top boxes. But to each their own...they're both rewarding paths!
[G Pad 8.3 General] rjrobins:
Bought this tablet last night and I'm expecting it sometime today. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Being a G2 user, I wish Knock-On was kept though...
[G Pad 8.3 General] whoamigriffiths:
Haha good quote.

Yes it can quickly become a time sink without you realising, that is, before the wife points it out :P
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm sure you can use the same kernel as the other one at some point
[G Pad 8.3 General] flinx1:
That's a hardware issue, not a software one. Not all of the regular tablets have it, so hopefully it's just the first batches that had it, and they fixed the quality problems at the factory.
[G Pad 8.3 General] naruto.ninjakid:
I like to keep my options open. I usually don't go for nexus devices because I like to test various manufacturers skin. Say touch wiz on my note 2 when I get bored or tired of it I flash an aosp Rom . Plus manufacturers always have a few really good features you don't want to go without. In the case of my note 2 it's spen capabilities. In having both This gives me the best if both world's. I'll definitely buy the v500 and test out LG's interface. If I get bored and don't like it flash I will just flash an aosp rom. I like to have choices. But to each his own I guess.
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
Screen has no blue lines, no dead pixels, no noticeable light bleed, the screen is a little warm on the temperature side, pretty much like the N5.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
same thing for me on the regular one. No issues just too warm for my tastes, but easily fixable
[G Pad 8.3 General] Duncank:
Is there someone who has this tablet already (GPE or LGE) who can confirm that infrared remote apps work with it? I've contacted the developers of Smart Remote yesterday and they told me they can't get their app to work on the LGE of the tablet because the data to the IR-sensor is encrypted.

I really like this tablet and am considering of buying the GPE but I like the QuickRemote function of the original one...
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
Quick remote is stripped out of the GPE, I havent tried reinstalling it on my GPE, so I can't comment if it would work or not.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Duncank:
I know QuickRemote isn't available on the GPE, and it also isn't available on the Play Store to install manually. But can you, or someone else, confirm if other IR-apps are working? I'm interested in using this one: Smart IR Remote on Play Store
[G Pad 8.3 General] rjrobins:
Received tonight. Stock - Running Nova Prime. First 2 hours initial thoughts:

1. Benchmarks - Quadrant: 9276 (My G2 at the same time was: 17,378)

2. The screen is bright, colors are clear, not noticing "yellow" tint

3. Love the build quality. Fingerprint magnet with the aluminum brushed back. Feels light in hand. Great form factor

4. Vanilla 4.4 Kit Kat on board. No NFC, Wireless Charging, or any LG Software enhancements (KnockOn/QPair) Has Bluetooth & Wireless Display for casting

5. Sound is much louder than the Nexus 7 2012. Google Play Music & Hulu Plus sound great.

6. Icon Pack looks beautiful

7. Comes with a weak selection of wallpapers and it's very hard to find one that doesn't look distorted. No Kit Kat wallpaper.

8. Impressed with the speed. I'm a G2 user and this feels comparable despite having the 600 vs. the 800 and a much lower Quadrant score

9. Battery is not the same as the G2. It's not bad by any means but is definitely pulling faster than the G2. I would compare to the Nexus7

10. GPS is spot on. I know this is stupid but the G2 sometimes has issues so this was great to see.

I was shocked when I ran the Quadrant benchmark next to the G2 at first. But after playing around and throwing many apps on, I did not notice one bit of lag. Twice though AnTuTu shut the tablet completely off which I've never seen before. Other than that I've been impressed with it. Lots of customization to get it similar to my Nexus but now that it's complete, time to enjoy. Ask any questions...

I have the G2 and the QuickRemote IR is fantastic on it. There is nothing like that on the GPE GPad tablet unfortunately. I tried several of the free "Samsung" IR apps in Google Play and none of them worked.

So how long until we can manually flash this bad boy on our regular G Pads?

[G Pad 8.3 General] zrgiu:
Dev from Smart IR Remote here - would you (or anyone else with the Google Edition G Pad) be interested in testing specifically our app to see if works on this device? If so, just send me a PM and I'll give you an APK with a license key. Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Have you tried the QRemote package for the LG G2 for AOSP based ROMs?

I am getting my G Pad later today :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Frantik508:
I ordered my GPE Wednesday night, received it Thursday afternoon thanks to overnight shipping.

So far, I really like it. The screen isn't as bright as my 2013 Nexus 7, but strangely, the picture quality for some things are better. Games like Dark Knight Rises seem to just look much better.

I was excited to use an IR app, but unfortunately, none of them work. Wondering if Google completely disabled that feature.

The only thing I don't really like is how little bezel there is. When typing in portrait, the lower part of my thumb/palm always seems to hit Enter. But that's nothing to really complain about, I'll get used to it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] tonokeemon:
Hey zrgiu, I've bought your app twice for the HTC One. So I think I already have a key. My GPad 8.3 GPE should ship next week, I'll try it then.
[G Pad 8.3 General] zrgiu:
Awesome, thanks! Please email us at colortigerapps@gmail.com if you have any problems installing it (like if the app doesn't show up in the store for you).
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
I purchased the app for my One and S4, I have the GPE Tab I'll test the apk if you want to send me a link via PM.
[G Pad 8.3 General] altusan:
I bought the App for my Samsung Galaxy S4 and it Works GREAT. I'm really happy with it. I have the G Pad 8.3 LGE and I extracted the App from my Galaxy S4 and installed on the Tablet. It runs but when I try to restore the remotes I backed up, it throws a message saying: La aplicación se ha detenido.

If you need someone to test anything, here I am. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] zrgiu:
That might have been because the app wasn't downloaded from Google Play. Can you try configuring a device from scratch to see if the IR Blaster actually works ?
[G Pad 8.3 General] altusan:
I just tried with two TVs but there are no codes for them so I used my S4 just to try and it worked. I suppose it's due to LG IR Blaster

QRemote working on G Pad 8.3 GPe

I accidentally discovered a workaround for QRemote missing from the G Pad 8.3 GPe. I'll do my best to explain what I did.

So I decided to use Nova Launcher on my G3 and after I was finished setting everything up I created a backup with Nova. I wanted to set up my G Pad up the same way. So I wouldn't have to start from scratch I used the Nova backup for my G3 on my G Pad. Once I did this I saw the icon for QRemote on my homescreen (in the same place as it was on my G3). I clicked on it and QRemote opened. I paired it to my TV and it works!

I'm not sure why this works but I'm glad it does! This was one of my main issues with the GPe of the G Pad.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AceofSpades117:
Hey everyone,

The Captivate Glide is my first Android device. I've had it since March 2012, but I haven't done anything special with it, not even installing a launcher. I have no experience with backups, flashing ROMs, rooting, etc., but I do have general desktop PC experience (I built the computer I am using to post this and am experienced with file management), so I'm not totally tech-illiterate.

I decided to get the PAC-Man ROM because CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, and AOKP all appealed to me and PAC-Man is a combination of them. However, there seems to be multiple builds of it floating around. There is kick buttowski's thread here, but he said on Nov. 28 that he "won't be supporting the i927 anymore" here in reply to bubor, who also has a PAC-Man build.

bubor's thread is here, and he last updated the post on Dec 2. According to the changelog in the original post, his latest build is from Oct. 28. However, if you follow the download link in the original post, the latest build is from Nov 28, while there is a "milestone" build from Aug. 9 here.

In addition to kick and bubor's threads, there is a "release" build from the PAC-Man official website from Jul. 31 here.

So, I would like to ask the following questions:

What are the statuses of each of the three builds?

Which one is the most stable and bug-free?

I also had some additional, more general questions:

Is rooting my i927 necessary to install PAC-Man?

Are there any special instructions/procedures to follow for the Glide?

I have a few apps installed on my MicroSD card; will they affect anything during the installation process?

Will the physical capacitive buttons still work? I know on the newer phones there are no physical capacitive buttons, only on-screen software ones.

Can I disable/remove the on-screen buttons so I can exclusively use the capacitive buttons?

According to this YouTube video featuring PAC-Man running on the Galaxy S2 (which the Captivate Glide is a derivative of), the physical capacitive buttons still function. However, the person in the video has Pie Controls enabled, so the on-screen buttons don't show up. I don't want to use the Pie Controls, so can I disable them and the on-screen buttons?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] wvhellbilly333:
I have many of the same questions and a "noob" when it comes to Rooting, Custom ROMS, etc. Although, I read enough to give my self enough confidence to try flashing a ROM, so I choose this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2436960 and everything seems to be running along smoothly so far, its only been one full day since I choose to try it. I installed it from a factory unrooted I927 running ICS. Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophy0:
After creating a ton of issues on my Verizon LG G2 after trying to update to 11.0 with TWRP 2.6.3.2, I've managed to get back into TWRP and do a system wipe.

I now want to update my TWRP so that I can install an 11.0 CM ROM. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do an update. No success with GooManager and can't find instructions on how to use loki to do a TWRP update vs. a fresh TWRP install.

Anyone able to offer guidance on how to do this?

Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophy0:
These are the best instructions I could find: http://theunlockr.com/2013/11/03/flash-custom-recovery-lg-g2-versions-video/

However, they apply to a fresh install. I get "# <-- [6n" when I enter "adb shell" and not sure what to do after that.

My plan is to:

1. Update to TWRP 2.6.3.3

2. Rewipe

3. Install this 11.0 ROM: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/lg-g2-development/258385-rom-wip-cyanogenmod-11-g2-vzw.html

4. Restore app + system data with Titanium

Unfortunately can't get past Step 1.

Also not sure if Step 4 will create all sorts of system conflicts or not... perhaps a bit risky to try to restore system data?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
If you go to TWRP site you can download 2.6.3.3 for your carrier its a zip so just flash in recovery and wipe cache and davlik afterward the boot......also if your gonna flash cm 11 make a BACKUP first the before you flash ROM wipe CACHE,DAVLIK,SYSTEM, and DATA then flash ROM and gapps then wipe cache and davlik again then boot....

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

The development forum for Verizon has cm11 night lies and can help you with any ROM issues you have along the way but you should basically follow the steps I posted so you don't brick or bootloop and if you do have a backup...and you need gapps....don't know if you have
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tophy0:
Thanks -- very helpful. So if I understand correctly I can simply flash the 2.6.3.3 recovery zip from within my 2.6.3.2 TWRP recovery screen? I just need to navigate to that zip file on my device and do the install from the device without needing to do any sort of command window stuff from my laptop?

Also, why is a backup necessary before I flash CM 11?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmileti:
Once u flash 2.6.3.3 u need to reboot back to recovery for it to take otherwise you will still be trying to install Rom on 2.6.3.2

Official Google Folio

Just released on the Google Play Store in Bright Red & Black $49.99

http://goo.gl/OQtpBS
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] desairs:
Just got it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] johnomaz:
Nice looking case, too expensive though
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] naturecannon:
:eek: Price is steep . Anything over $30-35 needs to blow my socks off, and this most definitely NOT
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] desairs:
I'll post some pics when I get it. Its exactly what I have been looking for!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] jonnythan:
This looks slick, but the price is crazy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] KS1G:
Overall, a nice piece of kit. I like the cloth exterior, sticthing is decent. There is a little cloth tab with the Google corporate colors. Well-made, plastic/silicon-rubber/some-synthetic-stuff brackets hold the tablet in place quite well (takes a little effort to snap in the 2 bottom corners). Cutouts for everything - rear camera, usb, speakers, power, volume controls. The cutouts for power & volume make them easy to locate by feel. Supports 2 view angles in landscape, portrait is near-vertical (almost useless). Does not add a too much thickness to the tablet, although it's more than the slots on some cheap folding tablet stands can accomodate. Removing tablet takes a little effort (those 2 bottom corners) but is not unacceptably difficult. It is as perfect a fit as I've found in covers available at local stores (which are usually generic 7" tablet cases, no experience yet with the Poetic covers).

There is no clasp or closure to keep the case closed. I may have found a use for old Livestrong and other charity wrist bands assuming they will stretch enough. Does not appear to be a magnet in the cover to make the tablet sleep or waken.

I do not have a Qi charger to test if one would work with this case. (PM me if you have one you would like to donate to the cause. I will give it a good home and daily love & attention. :angel: )

Price is ridiculous and without a BestBuy gift card burning a hole in my wallet, would have passed. Should be $25, $30 max.

Edit: Whoops - different case than what the OP posted. I have the Nexus_7_2013_Case_Gray_Blue case (forum not allowing me to post links yet)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] GSLEON3:
That's about what I paid for my case when I bought the 8.9 HDX, as it was discounted as an add-on item. HOWEVER, the HDX case is just cool. It uses magnets to perform functions, like launching the camera when you slide the tab up, it folds up pretty neatly, again using magnets, in an origami fashion (& holds the device at USABLE angles in both portrait & landscape) & lastly, it is made out of a very supple genuine leather. Not PU, LEATHER. Nice leather, that keeps getting softer & smells great, like a new mit.

For $5 I can get a similar case on Amazon. For $40 to $50, I expect it to be premium, like Amazon has done.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] jonnythan:
I had that case before my Poetic. The Poetic is superior in every way.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] waflsk8s:
This is exactly what I'm looking for with exactly not the right price. Hopefully they start making knockoffs of it soon. What I like about this (over cases by poetic et al) is it lets you see the back so if you have a skin or something you can easily see it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RayLovesick:
Just got it. Already took it back off and replaced with Asus Premium case. I have the LTE version by the way.

The bumper fit, but was loose on the sides with a bit of wiggle. The open back just didn't feel right to me when holding it. Cover was soft touch but felt a little cheap on the edges, and it had an odd smell. All these things combined just make the cover feel flimsy and cheap.

There is a magnet (finally!) that will wake the device, but it is not strong enough to keep the cover closed. A clasp or elastic band would have been nice for that.

Wireless charging works just fine with this cover as you would expect.

Not worth the money in my opinion. Doesn't feel right in the hand, which is all that matters to me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] E15i:
Thank god I ordered the Premium Cover back than :p, hope it will arrive soon.

And you right, what the point of open back? heh, it look's like the bumper for nexi 5 with a flip..:eek:

You say the Premium cover is indeed Premium at all?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] waflsk8s:
The open back could be used to reveal a custom skin. To me the bumper would mainly serve as a frame to attach to the flip cover which protects the front of the screen. As of now this seems like the closest thing to the iPad's SmartCover. Unfortunately this price is ridiculous; the product doesn't look "premium" at all nor is it made of any "premium" materials.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] briansuperduper:
My red folio arrived this afternoon, and I'm returning it tomorrow. I agree with everything above, except I didn't notice any smell. I just can't believe how cheap it feels:

1. The magnets don't keep the case closed

2. The fit is too loose

3. It feels as if the whole thing will rip apart with just daily use

I already put my poetic slimline back on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] ecnahc:
can either of you post some pics so the rest of us have an idea of what you're talking about?
