There already is an AOSP/CM11/4.4(x) build posted, by yours truely..

what i need is someone to extract a system image, but seems without the offsets, or someone with a v510 that might not be possible?
[G Pad 8.3 General] C0BRA01:
Silly to take risks, when it is now an OFFICIAL Google Play edition Tablet, the stock Google ROM will be out soon if nothing else.

[G Pad 8.3 General] autoprime:
check my v510 stock partitions folder in about 10 min. i will leave the file up for an hour or two.

the gain here wouldnt be AOSP.. but to escape loki.
[G Pad 8.3 General] C0BRA01:
So what are the differences between the V510, and V500?
[G Pad 8.3 General] nycbjr:
awesome, I'm downloading it now, it says 40 minutes so don't remove it yet!!!

thanks man!
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
If he gets rid of it or you need it again in the future, I downloaded it as well and can send you my Dropbox link to it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] nycbjr:
sweet, only 5 minutes to go, bites "fingernails" lol

Got it!
[G Pad 8.3 General] asbesto:
sorry but your idea is not very clear to me; have you obtained a V510 dump and are you fully recovering it on the V500? How to recover it in that way?

And moreover --> Is it working?
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
I'm guessing nobody has tried directly flashing the boot partitions yet?
[G Pad 8.3 General] nycbjr:
Im looking at his system dump for clues on how to fix the few things that aren't working, such as camera
[G Pad 8.3 General] asbesto:
so right now no camera and what else?

why is the camera not working? isn't it the same module?
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
He's talking about his ROM in the original development section.
[G Pad 8.3 General] asbesto:
Oh ok so probably there was a misunderstanding; I though he was recovering a V510 on a V500 WITHOUT mods; but now I have understood that he is trying to improve his rom with the V510.

Am I right?

So the 2nd question is; who will be so brave to load a V510 stock onto a V500? :) :) :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
Since this was already done on an LG device, wouldn't it make sense that what worked for the Optimus G would maybe work for us?

[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Actuallty, these days Intel HD graphics are so powerful you don't need a dedicated one of you don't game heavily, as the 4600 runs casual games pretty good. Anyway, compiling isn't GPU related and he isn't going to game on this machine so he definitely doesn't need a graphics card.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Ajsh:
Actually he can compile using his GPU...
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
I believe that's not cost effective as cpu compiling and he was on a tight budget
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
It might even be faster too...

---

My plan was to run RAID 0 setup but then got a SSD Samsung 840 Evo 250G and thing is so fast. I put my windows set up on it and may get another SSD for Linux side but not sure if it will kill drive fast from all the read/write operations. So I am stuck if I should go with RAID 0 for Linux or get another SSD.
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Told ya it will be FAST! ;)

I always care for your wallet and recommend you the budget option and you always wind up getting the pricier better option :P

GPU can help compiling, but do you have enough money to buy a good one?
[G Pad 8.3 General] gasgiver:
Take a look at the Samsung 840 Pro, this one can stand the heavier count of write operations. It is made for that, Samsung even claims it can be used in a server environment. I have not tried that as of yet. We still use SLC SSDs for that.

[G Pad 8.3 General] cpanos:
I know, that wasn't my point. A great deal of custom made PCs are gaming oriented, so seeing one without a dedicated GPU is out of the ordinary for me. Looks weird, that's all! ?
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
I get what you're saying ;)

It is unusual, but I like seeing the on-board graphics used for once, people always pay for them in the chip's price but never actually use them
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Ha! I have been around long enough to see 3Dfx release their first graphic chip and run out to buy it so I could have played Virtua Fighter on PC. This is my first custom built rig with no graphics card. I plan on getting one (maybe two) down the road. I got lucky with CPU, this i7 4770K is stable at 4.6. Ran OCCT over night without any issues and temps hovered around 75°c.

Anyways...back on topic. Getting second SSD today or tomorrow for Linux so I can get back to ROMs soon.
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Definitely SSD. They rock.
[G Pad 8.3 General] jcagara08:
Yep they are and have it on raid 0 setup for blazing read and write times, better yet ROM compilation and FPS gaming on the side too
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Sooooooooooooo

Look what came in mail today from LG. My replacement v500. I thought they turned me down :)

And

I just got back from picking up the SSD for my Linux side of new PC. May pull an all niter to get Linux and dev environment setup.
[G Pad 8.3 General] sga999:
Wow, that's great news! So they sent you back the bricked one weeks ago, and now they sent you a new one? Or did they keep the bricked one all this time? (I thought they sent it back to you....if so, that must be why you thought they weren't repairing it or giving you another one). So you now have a good V500, good V510, bricked V500? Congratulations!
[G Pad 8.3 General] haasgo:
I hope you get things sorted soon to start the conversion :)

BUT as I can see there are no real advantages from the GPE rom over the LG stock rom. There even might be some features not working...we would ne some kind of a hybrid rom with certain "cherrypicks" to be able to use the IR blaster, miracast, case support, knock on/off....

Is this possible? Because from what i have learned the AOSP roms out there for GPE are lacking features where the cm11 team is working on it.

Wouldnt it make more sense to support stock lg rom and make additions or changes to that to have full support? I am just wondering....
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
GPE ROM works best with hardware. Period. Creating a GPE+ rom with extra features would be nice
[G Pad 8.3 General] FrutasX:

[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:

Arrggg!!! Having trouble setting up the build environment for AOSP

Edit...Google really needs to update their AOSP for setting up build environment. Finally got it all working. Now I am thinking of changing my hardware config. Making RAID0 from the 2 Samsung 840 EVO 256 SDD for Ubuntu and use the WD Black 1TB for Windows. If all goes well on first build after the source finishes downloading I may go for the hardware change so I guess I have to re install all OS and software again. One of the main bottle necks for compiling AOSP is all the read/write from drive so I might as well put it to use since I am will not be in windows much :)

Edit 2...38 minute clean build time :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] ekterion:
Secure booting error

I had stock room+root and got massage about firmware update, I dl it and try to update. My device rebooted and show for few second: secure booting error cause: device unlock!, so boot success! And than entering to the twrp (v2.6.3.0). Now everytime when I tring to power on my g pad happen the same.

Any idea how to repair it? Im stuck. I tryied reinstal rom and done full wipe, but nothink changed.

[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
OK now that I installed Ubuntu on my RAID 0 setup I am ready to start cooking with some serious fire. BTW, RAID 0 made no difference whatsoever in build time. I guess 1 SSD was fast enough for the read/wrtie. I used -j8 switch and all 8 threads (4 cores X 2 threads per core) were running at 100% during entire build with max of 3GB of RAM being used. I should have kept the setup as is before RAID and saved time installing OS and software again and should have got 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB to save some money :)

Anyways...I am off to build some kernels to see if we can get the GPE ROM working on v500.

I may post a how to guide for setting up your android development environment for those that might be interested. Google's directions are a little off so I kept notes while getting the routine down.

Edit. BTW...my final system specs are:

Asus Z87-A Motherboard $114.99

i7 4770K $249.99

Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP 16GB DDR3-1600 $129.99

WD Black 1TB $79.99

Samsung 840EVO $179.99 X 2 $359.98 RAID0

Corsair Hydro Series H80i $95.99

Corsair 300R Case $69.99

2.5" to 3.5" HDD adapter $4.99 X 2 $9.98

2 SATA 6GB cables $10.00

Corsair CX Series CX750M 750 Watt $64.99

Grand Total $1185.89 plus my local tax.

I also have about $80 coming back in rebates.

Well I had the V500 and V510 so both of them had no use for me, I hardly use a tablet anyways. New monitors serve me better.

Anyways...if anyone wants to give this a shot here are some quick directions to build new kernel for v500 to see if the GPE ROM will work.

Download the source for kernels from LG website.

Extract both kernel folders

Do a text compare for awifi_defconfig and palman_defconfig

In palman_defconfig search for "# CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is not set" without quotes and that's where the changes need to be made.

from awifi add line CONFIG_ARCH_MSM8930=y to palman and add module file you may need to go with it

change line CONFIG_MACH_APQ8064_PALMAN=y in palman to CONFIG_MACH_APQ8064_MTP=y

copy line CONFIG_MACH_APQ8064_AWIFI=y from awifi to palman

Compare rest of files and folders and you will notice what other modules you will need to carry over to the palman build.

MSM8930, not sure why that it is there and what made me think once before that the hardware can be slightly different.

Build kernel and test.

EDIT...Don't forget to loki the kernel before flashing.

There might be a couple of more lines to change but it needs testing. You want to have the GPE ROM installed when testing.

I'll try to get to this when I can and yes, now I do regret selling the v500 I should have waited a few days but needed the funds :D

[G Pad 8.3 General] aicjofs:
Well that was a long 44 page read...

I know this topic long since moved on from flashing using the LG Flasher, and moved to software workarounds but I still find the flasher method interesting. I have worked with quite a few Nvidia tegra devices and nvflash, so I have been reading an learning how Qualcomm Snapdragon does low level nand work.

It seems the major hurdle of using the flasher was the "download user image is only available in the online environment". I tried some different .dlls for other devices and they don't have that error but fail the CRC checksum of the TOT(expected). In this topic about the Nexus 5 there was the same issue and it was suggested that the .dll have SVC in the name and the error could be alleviated.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515760&page=5

If that is correct then the .dll posted here can only be used in the online environment. The .dll posted on the site below does have the SVC and a seems to be December dated, instead of November.

http://www.lgbbs.com/thread-5803-1-1.html

Problem is that it's a Chinese site that requires registering, and any searches for the file LGV510_SVC_LGFLASHv160.zip come up empty in Google. Would be interesting to see what it did though.

Personally I am a little leery of trying it myself even if I had the .dll. With nvflash you give the processor a bootloader to work with and then are completely free to make partitions, etc. Basically totally unbrickable except for hardware failure. This LG Flash seems to work off aboot, and if the flash goes wrong it's over. I understand there is "qloader" or something that sounds like nvflash where you could download a bootloader and do similar to nvflash but that information seems sparse. One way or another for a true conversion the nand is going to have to be repartitioned and on most newer devices I have seen the partition table is locked when in user mode(no gparted, etc), so it will have to be done at a low level.

I think everyone has passed on the idea of that method but just sharing what I found in my searches. I've only had a week to read up on the Gpad, looked through some source, some downloads and I have seen the software mod is somewhat stagnant but demetris and androiduser have some decent ground work laid out. :good: I really don't have that large of an interest in the conversion but an unlocked bootloader interests me just for the simplicity of having one when testing things.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

The bootloader is unlocked. The partition tables are different on the v500 and v510. There might be a small hardware difference too. I posted what needs to be changed in the GPE kernel for it to work properly on the GPE so we have working sound, WiFi and Bluetooth. I think most of us just want a GPE ROM working on v500.
[G Pad 8.3 General] PorkMoon587:

if there are files from the V 510 that would be useful just let me know. This includes if you would like, the ramdisk ripped apart and all the files separated, or any other files that may be pertinent to helping you get the 500 moved over to the 510.

I would for sure be helping you guys if I had a 500.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
OK something strange...

So I finally had some free time and decided to start making device tree for AOSP based ROMs last night. After I pulled all files and started whatever I needed too do, I decided to make a stripped deodexed version of the stock ROM. Did what I needed to do and BAM...no WiFi, Bluetooth or sound just as when trying to install V510 ROM to V500 but the is V510 ROM going back on V510.

So now I am back to thinking something wrong with the updater-script that is not setting the proper permissions but I got the permissions from the 4.4.2 OTA update file.

<scratching head>

Once this is figured out than maybe the V510 software can be installed on the V500.
