Ok, I'm on it. I managed to get the correct version of Java installed (just had to find the right repo). It's trying to build, but I'm getting a couple errors:

Not good, but it keeps building until:

including ./external/dnsmasq/Android.mk ...
build/core/base_rules.mk:134: *** external/dnsmasq/src: MODULE.TARGET.EXECUTABLES.dnsmasq already defined by LG-V510(GPE)_Android_KK_V510_10d.Android/external/dnsmasq/src. Stop.

I haven't looked into either error yet. I'm going to take a look at /LG-V510(GPE)_Android_KK_V510_10d.Android/external/junit/Android.mk first to see if there's an obvious solution.
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Ok, two problems solved. The first was easy -- the compiler didn't like parentheses in the folder name. The second took some digging. It turned out that there were two files in some cases: one from the AOSP source and one from the LG code. So I archived the duplicate folders in the AOSP code and deleted them. Problem solved.

Now I'm stuck on this error:

including ./tools/external/fat32lib/Android.mk ...
make: *** No rule to make target `external/junit/Common.mk'. Stop.

The fact that the filename is Common.mk and not Android.mk as the prior statements used is significant. Obviously the compiler is trying to finish one step in the build process, and it's choking for some reason. I've been digging through internet help pages, but I haven't found a solution yet. I'll keep searching, but I'm sort of stuck here :( Any advice? I know this won't be too complicated.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
What model are you trying to build for? Make a basic build or a nexus build. If you do a nexus build make sure you have all drivers in place.
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
I followed these directions: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

The one thing I did differently was to grab the 4.4_r1 code, as LG's directions specify, like this:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4_r1

I'll go back and take out the LG code and see if it will build.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Demetris:
[MENTION=3989321]GTabJosh[/MENTION] You realise your building v510 kernel right?

Try follow the guide there, look at the readme ;)
[MENTION=4218641]AndroidUser00110001[/MENTION]

The reason wifi dont work when you crossflash it might be the prima firmware, could be signed :eek:

Try pushing V500 wifi blobs back to device tree after flash :angel:
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Sure, I follow the readme. The one for V500 is even more useful. But I'm building the ROM, not the kernel. The kernel shouldn't need to be merged with any code.
[G Pad 8.3 General] dadsterflip:
Quick question. Was this successfull in converting to gpe?
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
We're working on it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] dadsterflip:
Thanks. I might grab this tablet today.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mindspin_311:
Can this be used to simply revert an unlocked, rooted, custom recovery GPE back to stock?

I am RMAing my device, so I would like to send a stock appearing device back to avoid potential issues.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Were you able to make a successful build yet? LOL my desktop finally died the other night and am contemplating if I should build a new system but I would rather use money for other toys.

I can't believe I don't care if I have a PC or not. I have had one since I was about 9 years old and was so into building custom machines when it first started to get popular. There was a time I would run out to be the latest 3DFX card as soon as it came out or even going back further when I was so excited to get 2400 baud modem. Boy how times have changed. Now I am satisfied with my phone, tablet and work issued laptop. No wonder why PC sales are going downhill...

Anyways...if you have made a successful build then let me know. I can still out together the device tree for you if need be.
[G Pad 8.3 General] autoprime:
the tot would work... but apparently the dll isnt working for ppl.. a new dll would be needed.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mindspin_311:
Hmm, any other way I can at least get the stock recovery back on here?
[G Pad 8.3 General] autoprime:
ya with root you would use adb shell and dd command to flash the stock recovery partition which is linked in the OP.

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/nameofrecoveryfilegoeshere.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
No. I removed the LG code I had merged, but it wouldn't build the base Nexus ROM. I resynced the repo, so I should have had all the files. It still seemed to think something was missing.

I'm bumping against my bandwidth limit, but I'm going to try it again, step by step. It kills me that I can't do something that seems so simple. Argh!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mindspin_311:
Normally, to get into adb, I would use the following command, which is what I used when working on my Nexus 5.

cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools

Does that sound correct?
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Did you just resync to same folder you downloaded source or start from scratch from new folder? Make sure you use the binaries for the nexus device too.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Canadoc:
Pardon my naivety, but how far along is this coming and what are the current issues/obstacles?
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Well, I went ahead and downloaded the source again, following each step precisely (using the exact same directories etc). And then I set it up to build. You know what I noticed? It started eating up disk space and didn't stop. I mean a lot of it. What the hell am I building, exactly?

I didn't want it to run all day, only to choke for lack of disk space, so I shut it down after I was sure it had progressed much further than last time. I'll probably run it tonight; it'll probably run out of disk space.

Right now I'm running it in VMWare Player on Win7. I think I can create a new VM with more space, then copy my current Linux OS file into the new VM files if I'm careful. Or I can just go dual boot...

The problem is that the brains and the brawn are not well connected at this time ;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] cpanos:
I'm pretty sure the source alone is like 8GB and you will need up to 30gb for it to build.

[G Pad 8.3 General] Mindspin_311:
Is the DLL found in this link the same or different than the one you reference?

http://www.lg-phones.org/stock-lg-g-pad-8-3-v510-rom-firmware.html
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
I think I'm going to switch to a dual-boot setup. I'm reasonably satisfied with my Linux OS setup (meaning that I'd rather not reinstall loads of software). Can I simply copy the files from my Linux system drive (which is actually a single Windows VMWare file) to another drive, install a true Linux setup, then copy the files back? Or is there some issue that requires apps and system files to be registered, like Windows and its registry? Basically what I'm asking is how to setup a dual-boot system and copy my current Linux OS drive over to be my new OS drive?

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 General] autoprime:
not sure. you'd have to download both and compare md5 sums.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mindspin_311:
File names are the same, so it seems logical that they are. Ugh, this is frustrating.

Ok, so the DLL you posted is 411kb, the DLL from the link I posted is 6.5kb. MD5's dont seem to match. Im not sure how large a DLL should be.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Plus space for ccache.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Doing in VM might be an issue too.
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Also, I get the whole 8G ram all for Linux. I want to switch to a dual-boot setup, but I don't know how to copy my existing OS & apps (which is actually a single Windows file in VMWare) to a new drive in a dual-boot setup. Can I simply create a Linux install, then copy the files over? That doesn't sound possible. Maybe I can make a basic Linux install on one partition and create a second, empty partition. Then I copy the files to the second Linux partition and make that my Linux OS drive? That sounds possible, as long as simply copying the files over is enough to create a system drive.

I've got two problems: I don't want to have to set up all the apps, libs, and currently working build files again. Second, I won't have the bandwidth for almost two weeks. Do you know if there's a way I can reuse my current Linux "drive"? It might be a lot of work, but if it kickstarts this project, I'm up for it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] drzoo2:
I'm taking a total stab in the dark on this but I don't think there are any VMware tools to convert to bare metal. You could possibly use dd or imaging software to clone root to a drive or partition.... assuming all of your folders are in root and not in other partitions. It would have to be done outside from a bootable CD.

Swap may be an issue if one was created during install. Also you will have to install grub taking into consideration how you are managing your duel boot process. Linux should easily handle the hardware change.

Possible....yes but difficult.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Demetris:
So..

After some research and some fruitful thinking i came to the conclusion that we need to elaborate more deeply than a discussion thread.

To achieve this i took the opportunity to start an organization on gihub called Gpad2Gpe so we can work together as a community.

Any members interested can post here or pm me so i/we can add them as team members or collaborators.

Link:

https://github.com/Gpad2Gpe

My initial thoughts are.

1.Reverse all new commits from Ricardo that forks us away from our gpe brother.

2.Add in Gpe blobs replacing ours

3a.Patch kernel to be up2date with I9505 and/or HTC One(they are the almost the same anyway)

3b.Use Gpe kernel and fix it .

Edit:

Just pushed the Gpe kernel :)

https://github.com/Gpad2Gpe/android_kernel_lge_v500/tree/gpe_kernel
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
What about the ROM? Available for download or work in progress? By available I mean the zip, not the source ;)

Edit: Working source will do. When I said source, I meant the publicly available source. Or will that work on the V500 with no mods? That would be nice!
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Great idea!!!
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Is there a GPe ROM ready to go for the V500?
[G Pad 8.3 General] jugglingandroid:
There is an alpha ROM in the android development section if you look but Bluetooth and WiFi are not working.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
did you quote yourself? Anyways guys keep up the good work! My dreams of booting a google edition rom are still alive?
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
It makes me feel important :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Demetris:
Looks like will be a one mans show :eek:

That hurts.

No one expressed any interest at all.:confused:

ok, so i started working on kernel for time been expect some new kernel releases soon.

[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
I think I am getting a new workstation this week so I should be able to get back to this.

Have not built a system in years but these are the specs I am going with.

Asus Z87 Plus or Pro motherboard

Core i5 4670K or i3

16GB RAM

2 WD 1TB hard drive in RAID 0

The MB and CPU options are depending on how much I can/want to spend.

Have to get case and power supply too...

Hopefully I can get my bricked v500 going and see what can be done having both devices.

It's going to be fun compiling in less than an hour...
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
What cooling are you going to use for overclock?
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
No overclock. Just stock cooling. May get less expensive motherboard and get i7. Funny how i5 does not support hyperthreading.
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
If you're not gonna overclock dont take a K series... They cost more and are only better for OC
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Yeah I saw but K series is on sale and not much more than regular.

I want to build system built around compiling. So I need lots of RAM and fast drives so I am going with 16GB RAM and RAID for drives. i7 has multi threading which will help so if I can save somewhere else I'll get i7.

Have not built system in years. What power supply would you recommend? I don't care about SLI or video cards. Just need on board video. Suggest any other motherboards? Solid but not pricey?
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Anything by ASUS will be great, they're the best at the moment. The only difference between H87 and Z87 is the ability to overclock, so if you're not gonna do that buy H87 and save money.

PSU: Try to get something that has an 80 PLUS certification. They're more effecient. You can use a PSU Calculator to calculate your needs:

[G Pad 8.3 General] pix_fax:
I beg your pardon,..........................Off topic?
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Hey, he asked!

And it's not totally off topic as this machine will be used for compiling the ROM
[G Pad 8.3 General] afrikanac:
above 600W and a 80+ power supply, dont try saving money here its the heart of your future machine. one suggestion though: why not 8core AMD? you shall save money from motherboard and core and put it in a cooling system and voila you can make wonders with it:eek: im not off topic because i really want AndroidUser to come back in a best way and help our Gpad forum:cool:
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
I think a hyperthreaded 4 core i7 (8 threads) will beat an 8 core AMD. AMD cpus are years behind intel.
[G Pad 8.3 General] anomalous3:
Even my old i7 compiles super quick. Hyperthreading is especially useful for that. K series also has some virtualization extensions disabled, might not want to get it, invest in an ssd instead.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I agree, SSD will change the way you think of a fast PC... TRUST ME, it is worth every penny
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
They seem pricey and can't blow budget. Will look into it...thanks for suggestions.
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
SSD is indeed a great performance boost.

Not sure how it will affect compiling though... It will make a huge difference in regular use

I didn't read that LG confirmed it. The article says, "LG is allegedly planning to skip the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for some of its smartphones and move them straight to the latest Android 4.4 KitKat, according to a report from PhoneArena."

The word

allegedly

suggests to me that this is not confirmed.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
Indeed. While this leak seems promising and I'm excited about it (as most of us are), I won't believe it until an official release from LG is published, and even THEN the true moment will be when that update notification appears on my screen!

Owning a LG optimus 2X i wouldnt get my hopes up:P . ICS took 1 year to be released and was really horrible
[G Pad 8.3 General] MylleZ:
And I am excited about this GPE port too, but it seems rather difficult to port a GPE based on 4.4 to a device that's on 4.2.

But that's me speaking and I don't know almost nothing about this matter.

If the official update was to be released soon (that doesn't seem to be the case), developers had things eased up a bit...

But I have faith in you. I would love to have a solid GPE ROM on my V500.

Cheers :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] voiceofid:
You do realize it wasn't LG's fault? The 2X took so long because nVidia dropped support for the chipset beyond GB and LG had to write the whole kernel and ROM from scratch to support the phone

So if you want to blame someone, blame nVidia
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
Why did they put so much effort in to the 2X, while now they take a lot of time to update when they have all the necessary drivers?
[G Pad 8.3 General] voiceofid:
Haven't you people read HTC's software update infographic? Tell me what other tablets right now are on 4.4 other than GPe/Nexus

Here's the webpage with the infographic

http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/
[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
I saw the infographic. I agree, it's not an easy proccess, but HTC and Samsung are about to release an update in the next few days, while there's no date for LG. What's taking them so long?
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
There is a pretty big size difference between these companies. LG just recently downsized their mobile division and scaled up their TV division. They did this to raise more money so they could scale up their mobile division in the future after they make a lot for TVs (because that is where they get most of their money). Ultimately this means slow and less support for us now... but maybe better support in the future? Either way we kinda figured it would be like this. Moral of the story... we need to get the GPE merged with our V500 ;)

Source: http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/lg-shift-focus-smartphones-tv-39562/ the article just mentions the G2 but at the time I think that was the only option. I'm pretty sure the mobile division would also apply to the tablets as well
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Or we need an AOSP based ROM that do not have issues like current ones. I guess the biggest issue is touchscreen not working in games. Is that still an issue? I have not put on a custom ROM since I got the v510

[G Pad 8.3 General] schalmers:
You can't put a custom ROM as there are none for the v510 but I am enjoying mine with the stock GPE software. Just needed Root and FolderMount to make it perfect :)

Coming from a Nexus 7, I am surprised though that there are no custom ROMS developed for the v510, I don't know enough to build one so I can't complain, just saying I am surprised....
[G Pad 8.3 General] jcagara08:
The biggest thing holding this is that the culprits yes the authors of this thread are still trying to build a pc wherein it would be powerful enough to make the custom rom otherwise brains for the project are all over the place..

[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
GPE devices get 1% of the support nexuses get. CM announced support for the v510, so its fine, who needs more. Xposed is more powerful than ever

[G Pad 8.3 General] autoprime:
i think LG Flash may say something about different models and not even flash. I have the V500 dll in my V500 folder which may or may not help in the situation. if LG Flash actually flashes it.. I think theres a good chance your tablet boots back up... and is converted.

if LG Flash wont flash it.. regardless of V510/V500 dll.. then manually flashing of partitions would be required. Thats where things may or may not go wrong.

As for the whole "secure boot" thing mentioned above... that's not always an issue... look at the LG Optimus G and Nexus 4. Both had the same board... and were signed with same keys... so when it came time to unlock the LG Optimus G bootloader.. a simple flashing of Nexus 4 aboot and sbl1/2/3 was all it took to have an unlocked bootloader on the device. And yes.. secure boot was enabled. Something similar may or may not happen with these tablets.

The aboot img files could actually be compared to see if keys etc match.. which would give more info before jumping in... and if you dont wanna risk a device you may want to wait a few days for that info.
[G Pad 8.3 General] iOSh8er:
Wouldn't flash...
[G Pad 8.3 General] dalingrin:
FYI,

*IF* you're going to flash this, then you'll need both the bootloader and the kernel. V510 uses a different mach type which means a V510 bootloader probably won't boot a V500 kernel and vice versa.

Overall, I'd recommend against flash this unless you are super adventurous. CM11/4.4.2 builds will be coming soon anyway.
