[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] CuraeL:
No matter what, XMBC is a piece of software. It's probably not as important as getting the rom itself stable and iron out kinks and implementing rom specific features. I see where you're coming from, but MX Player does a pretty good job of playing hi-res movies. So until then you should be able to make due.. It Certainly isn't something that everyone uses. I prefer MX Player, so I for one see the features of the rom way more important than a fullscreen issue. Surely it will get fixed at some point, when it's a priority.

For the record I have XMBC on my media center. Music and movies on the go, I prefer simpler interfaces. But it is a nice system, on that we can agree.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] zahir32:
We Can Agree!

Yes, getting the rom stable - and up to its true potential - is key. That is why I'm concerned by the apparent lack of dialogue between our great devs and the XBMC crew. Obviously, something in the GPU drivers on these custom roms is amiss. The fact that XBMC will run beautifully on my 4.2.2 Nexus 7 (and on the stock LG pad rom) means the problem isn't native to Jellybean or Kit Kat but lies somewhere in the screen interface on these unofficial roms. The XBMC team should be invited to look into this.

BTW, XBMC is much more than MX player could ever be. It's a powerful content aggregator that brings the media universe of the Web to one spot on your device. It's far more versatile than a media player; indeed, the XAF build of XBMC hands off all the content it can stream to MX player, which then obediently plays it back.

two small issues so far

Over the last few days of using this rom I've noticed two bugs.

Just like the other poster, I'm seeing the right most icon disappear from my dock upon rebooting.

The second issues seems to happen most when watching a video in landscape. Sometimes the tablet won't rotate back to landscape afterwards.

That being said, I'm loving this rom compared with stock :)

I flashed the latest (Beta 4) a couple of days ago and it didn't see my SD card (64GB SanDisk SDHC). It ran great and everything I tried seemed to work, but I have a bunch of app backups and other things on that SD that I use to restore to my normal functional configuration. Really that's the only thing keeping it from being a strong candidate for my daily driver at this point. Great work!

No problems bro.. Thanks for the update...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Drgravy:
well I put this off for a few days waiting for BETA 2 to drop. ** New build uploaded **;)

looks like Pie and Peek will be available to us in a week:fingers-crossed:

some good news from PA's G+ community:

Last week, we introduced Peek which provides a quick glance at your notifications from your lock screen. As with most first releases, there were a few bugs, namely a held wake-lock impacting battery life. Hopefully we have that sorted now along with some additional tweaks and fixes to the UI. You can now dismiss notifications from Peek with a simple swipe and as requested, a small preview of the notification's text is shown and the clock is centered.

In addition to the improvements made to Peek, 4.2 Beta 2 also includes:

- Quick settings: Dual ringer and volume tile

- Custom lock screen wallpaper

- Improvements to immersive mode

- Improvements to the download notifier

- Improved listing of apps in AppsOps

- Various translations and translation fixes

Also, Pie code is finally being released (most of the kinks should be worked out).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lightpsycho:
Hey there I figured this might be of some use to anybody wanting the ultimate "ruggedized" protection for their Note 3.

It is well-known that the added thickness of some tempered glass screen protectors will prevent some of the most rugged cases from being used (as is the case with Otterboxes apparently). So, should you be stuck with a cheap TPU case while having the best protection for your screen??! No!

The usual rule of thumb dictates that any case with hard plastic parts that snap together (front and back) will not work, alas if it covers too much of the phone's face. It cannot flex so it cannot clip closed. Futhermore, if it DOES close, it might put a lot of pressure on the phone or protector, as well as potentially make your protector lift. We don't want that.

There are, however, 2 rugged cases that you can use with glass protectors. I did the tests with a MIME USA Ghost glass (0.32mm thickness) so any protector of equal or inferior thickness will work.

1: Ballistic SG MAXX

2: Trident Case Kraken AMS

With Ballistic's case I'm pretty sure one would be able to fit one of the thicker protectors such as the regular Spigen (0.4mm), as you only have rubber corners going over the screen.

Hope this can help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
Does a ruggedized case really give you that much extra protection or is it placebo effect? I've dropped my phone a bunch of times onto either my tile floor or garage asphalt/sidewalk and never had problems with screen or body damage- all without a "ballistic" type of case. In fact all I do is put a tempered glass protector on it and a bumper around the edges- because when you drop your device, it's usually those areas that are the vulnerable points.

Other than protecting the edges and front glass, why make a device thicker than it needs to be with a $50 case if the back cover itself is $5-$10 to replace?

Hi, I got a notice on CM updater that there was an 10.2 update so I dloaded it and let CM do its thing. Upon reboot everything seemed a little squirrley so I decided I was just going to do a clean flash.

Booted into recovery, wiped everything, but now every rom I try to flash gives me "set metadata recursive: some changes failed. Error executing updater binary n zip [path]" no matter what I try?

Any clue as to what is going on here?

edit: I can get in and out of recovery. I can push via adb. Also wiped via fastboot -w.

I like CyanogenMod for the same reason, it works, it does what I want it to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stein5830:
CYanogenMod FTW

CM 11 - It's slick and most of the basic features are fairly stable... even on the nightlies. Its got a huge contributing base and its fairly quick to fix bugs. Also its got just the right amount of customizability for me. I like to keep my phones limited to a few widgets (CLock, PAndora, Audible, Keep) then just a few folders for my heavy used apps and contacts... so 2-3 homescreens max. No wallpaper, disabled animations, the phone is almost always very responsive and has fairly solid battery life (especially when "profiles" are configured to turn on and off data based on Wifi connections).

Received the GPE yesterday. Also have the Nexus 7.2, I can return either tablet.

The screen size of the GPE is an immense upgrade. My old eyes or whatever, but if a web page or magazine doesn't allow zoom I have to work to read on the 7. Nowhere near an issue on the GPE.

Everything else, though, is a definite downgrade.

Before I decide which tab to keep, are there are apps/tweaks for the GPE that might improve a couple of things:

display: Whites are "dingy" with a yellowish cast. I have screen adjuster installed. Adding blue helps. But it only allows for adding color. Is there an app that has the color slide set in the middle as opposed to at the zero point so I can subtract as well as intensify one of the colors??

Also, it's pretty dim. Is there a way change the sensitivity of the auto brightness, ie so that at a given ambient light it sets the screen brighter than stock?

scrolling: It is a little more "ratchety". Odd, since it's the 600 v 400 processor in the 7. I have 4.4.2 installed. Would rooting help even if I don't use a custom ROM (the 7 is rooted but running stock)?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualpine:
1. The display is what it is. I have been waiting for a higher resolution 8 inch tablet for over two years. This is the first and probably will be by itsself for a long time, others would have been released by now for the holiday season. This is not to excuse LG for skimping out on the display, they make the retina displays for MacBook Pros and iPads for goodness sake. However, I am going to keep it over my Nexus 7 2013 because the size of the display is worth the drawbacks for me.

2. I assume you mean scrolling in Chrome. Beats me why it is always jerky, has been for years. Good news is that the AOSP browser is now in Google Play without needing root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser

Install it and you will have a much smoother experience.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
You can try Lux Auto Brightness or a similar app.

The auto-brightness on LG devices seems to work differently than on other Android devices. The brightness slider still has an effect when auto-brightness is checked. I don't know whether the value chosen with the slide acts a a max level or if it provides some kind of "base" for the auto-brightness algorithm to work from. But if the slider level is set low turning on auto-brightness won't make the screen as bright as it will be with the slider at a higher value and auto-brightness on.

My display is pretty good. the auto-brightness is too dark but it is on every device I've ever used, so that's not really an issue for me.

Scrolling is as good or better than any Nexus 7 2013 model I've seen. I think the Ars and Verge reviews said basically the same thing. Also, the Nexus 7 is not a snapdragon 400. It's an S4 Pro. The specific S4 Pro in the Nexus 7 is a 1.5 ghz quad core krait 300 with a ddr3 memory controller instead of being a 1.7 ghz quad core krait 300 with a dual channel ddr2 memory controller in the Snapdragon 600 in the G pad.

Hey, I WAS an apple fanboy. Since 1994. Couildn't wait for the iphone to get to my city. Ran right over and "up"graded.

Do you know most are not aware of the "direct call" widget we have that they don't? That's just the most obvious and ridiculous demonstration of where iOS has gone with their Gates'ian control of their ecosystem.
