I know I'll get shot down for asking this so thanks in advance but when android l goes open source on Nov 3rd will Mahdi bring us his amazing rom again to the Lg G Pad. Love this Pad its awesome
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
Possibly, it might be another dev cooking the ROM with Mahdi's concent and releasing it in this thread, unfortunately I won't be able to test as I may be selling my GPad on Monday and saving up for a Tetra K1 device (most likely the Xiaomi Mipad)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] indian84:
Not asking for ETA, But will Tinted Status Bars be added to this ROM before we get a final version?

I'm using Mahdi's Final build for OnePlus One.. And TSB is an awesome feature to have..
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Final build is up thanks to Manelscout4life, changelogs are in the OP.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] k1silver:
Thanks Mahdi and Manelscout4life!

Without this awesome rom, I couldn't fully enjoy this tablet.

I'm looking for new Mahdi rom based on Lollipop, with using this final build.

Thanks again Mahdi, u are the best!!!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I'm a bit confused about which base (4.2 or 4.4) works best with this rom. Seems to me that I've seen suggestions that there are different issues that arise depending on which base you use. Can somebody clarify for me?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] bjcrj:
4.2 base for the ROM and its kernel. 4.4 base if flashing Mani or Red kernel after ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] matt1500:
In my opinion Mahdi is the reason I have no desire to update my LG G pad. Works like a dream on your Rom.

As soon as Android L is released on Monday does that mean G Pad developer will be able to start cooking straight away or will it take a while for source codes to come out???????

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Moe5508:
Guys, I really have an issue with my External SDCard disappearing intermittently irrespective of which AOSP-based ROM I run...no such issue on LOG stock ROMs once I have applied the SDCardFix thingy...but on AOSP after some reboots the external sd card randomly disappears and then I have to reboot to get it back and access my files. I have a 64GB KIngston Class XDHC micro-SD card...I really wanna run a Mahdi ROM permanently...Please any hints/tips will be greatly appreciated...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] :
We will have to wait and see if the source is released simultaneously. And you need device specific drivers for a full ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jt1998:
I'm on this ROM with a 64gb external sd card that works. I had to install the xposed module "KitKat SD card full access" for sd card though. After installing and rebooting it works flawlessly. Good luck!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] matt1500:
So who provides the drivers then????
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] :
Good question...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Drivers (libs or blobs) are provided by device or SoC vendor. If device vendor didn't modify them, drivers can be taken from another (for example upgraded to L), device. Of course old kernel must be adjusted, system, etc... Or modify Android to work with older drivers and kernel.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
I had this with a 64 GB card.... Turned out the card was on its last legs lol

Got a 32 and all was good...

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] psychotropicfx:
I had the same thought with my 32gb Adata card. It was constantly being rescanned, which I thought was the source of my battery drain (which it was). Replaced it with a new Samsung Evo 32gb and it stopped giving me the ejected/inserted/scanning media notifications, but the battery drain persisted (on both PA and Mahdi). I gave up and now I just keep it removed until I need it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] iruiz2:
I never had issues with my 64gb microsd card, not with the stock or the madhi roms...

Can anybody tell me, why chrome beta is the once app, running as a window?

How can I change this? The rom itself runs supersmooth with red-kernel.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] slebit:
Press home button when you have chrome beta open. Then press recents button and enter chrome beta again. Now it will be okey.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Meisterqn:
Works fine, now.

Thank you very much.

I like this rom but can not connect the tablet to the PC. Unable to SD memory card or internal memory. I installed all the drivers.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] e34v8:
Is there some kind of built in thermal throttling in this rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I have the same problem with the new Chrome version opening in window mode. Opening it from recents fixes it temporarily, but the problem comes back again when I open a new tab from a link or if I open the browser from the icon. This is a real PITA. I tried the Chrome beta app, but it has the same problem. I finally just downgraded the Chrome app to the factory version to fix the problem.

I've read that other users on different devices and ROMs are having the same problem, but apparently it doesn't affect all devices or ROMs.

Does anybody else have a solution for this?

pls: add switch to DISABLE smart-cover

HI there .. thanks for great rom .. just installed it (first had to force it back to 4.2.2, elst twrp wouldnt install).

i have trouble with my case (with magnetic cover) - i know a lot of guys asked to have this feature included in the rom (which is nice), but there should be a way/switch to disable it.

I have trouble with it, as when i have the cover turned all the way to the back of the device it often triggers the magnet and the display often switches off and back on during normal use/handling.

Also i am having sound-bugs .. eg during playing Sky Force.

The extra buttons in the Navigation Bar (like Notifications/Menu) dont turn to black on the dynamic colour-change-thingy .. dont know it those buttons are drawn or bitmaps.. maybe just the black bitmaps are missing or the change-colour-of-the-buttons-onthefly routine misses the extra buttons

If you're running with Dalvik and not ART, you can use xposed + xhalofloatingwindow module to blacklist Chrome and prevent it from using floating window mode. I have this running on my V500 atm and it works a treat.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Chrome floating window bug

For those of you who are annoyed by the recent Chrome floating window bug, here's an update:

The Google Code website has this info:

Chrome beta and now release are setting the Intent flag: FLAG_ACTIVITY_RETAIN_IN_RECENTS = 0x00002000; which was introduced in Lollipop

and is non existent on KitKat. That flag was used to start apps in Floating mode for custom roms that added that feature.

Hence why it starts in floating mode for those roms.

=> The best would be that Chrome test the API version and set only that flag on >= Lollipop, because that flag is not supposed to exist on KitKat

In the meantime I migrated the floating window flag to another free value in the KatKiss rom.

Custom roms can do that as a workaround.

Another post indicates that this is scheduled to be fixed in Chrome v41. My workaround until it's fixed is to uninstall updates to Chrome and then turn off auto update in the Play Store.

Update on Lollipop?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RaiderWill:
A Classic...

I Don't Even Know Where To Start.... :cool:

I feel fortunate that I was given the opportunity to obtain Mahdi & Moose's 5-20-14 version of this ROM.

It is the ONLY ROM I've run on my 8.3 since the 4th week of May 14'...

It has NEVER force closed, rebooted, lagged or hiccupped in any way.. shape.. form or fashion.

It Was ( And Is.. ) PERFECTION.

Any ROM that stops you from even considering flashing anything for over 7 months now, deserves to be mentioned again..

Mahdi.. Moose.. It was your Greatest Creation.. *And It's Still Magic To This Day*. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I've been using the 20140805 release for several months now. Most things work well. I do get occasional reboots and sometimes the screen is unresponsive after a reboot. Overall, this has been a great rom for me.

Since there hasn't been a new release in a while, I'm wondering if a lot of people are still using this rom or if some people have moved to something else. If you were a Mahdi user who switched to something newer, please report what you switched to and how it compares to Mahdi.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] iruiz2:
Still here, REALLY happy with this ROM :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] yojimboj:
Another fan

Same here, I see no reason to update from Mahdi unless a really smooth Lollipop build shows up, and I'm not holding my breath on that. A really great rom, thanks guys!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] katsika:
My only problem is that i hear sometimes a beep when im playing a game or watching twitch and the graphics get messed up for a few seconds. I am absolutely sure that this is a kernel related problem. Can someone of you guys recommend a good kernel for this rom? thanks in advance

I had mahdi rom since it was released and i didnt have a single problem except for the fact that the twitch app was freezing very often. I tried cm 12 a few days ago to see how android 5 is. I didnt like it at all as i found it really minimal compared to the customization abilities of mahdi, twitch was freezing too and when i tried to update the rom, using the built in updater, it semi bricked my tablet. After a lot of hours trying to find the proper drivers I reflashed the rom using twrp's sideload, i reinstalled gapps as you need to reinstall them everytime you update the nightlies and then i found that all of my apps were messed up. Ofc im not complaining about the cm12 as it is a new rom, but i found a lot of bugs. I tried then to flash a stock based rom (LRS) but twrp 2.8 couldnt install it and i didnt want to install an older version of twrp. So finally i moved back to mahdi!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I have a problem with using Chrome on this rom. Every time I try to "share" a web page in Chrome, the tablet freezes. I think this problem is related to Mahdi, because I haven't had it on any other device or any other rom. I'm using Mahdi with Redkernel. Does anybody else have this problem? Or, if not, would anybody be willing to test? Just go to a web page in Chrome and attempt to share the page (you can share using email, or whatever). Thanks for your help!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] iruiz2:
Just tested it. No problems here, Chrome shares just fine. Running Madhi final 2.9 with Redkernel 10. Latest Chrome version.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Thanks for testing. That probably means that the problem is not with Chrome or Mahdi, but with some other app on the tablet. I'll have to do some more testing top find out which one it is.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Does anybody know of a kernel that will support using an OTG cable while charging the G Pad at the same time? Right now, it seems that you can send power to the attached device, but you can't charge the Pad. I don't know if any other ROMs can do this, either, but I think the capability can be built into a kernel.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RaiderWill:
Never Seen That One Woody...:cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] zedorda:
One of the differences between a regular usb cable and the OTG is the reversal of the power flow with a physical change in the wiring in the OTG cable. So I believe it would be real hard to allow charging through an OTG cable without the tablet being intentional built for it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] rumpleforeskin:
Is there an option to disable "knock on" or double tap to wake? I thought it would be under Settings>Display but its not there.

If I disable it via the terminal emulator my standby battery life increases from a couple of days to almost a week, but if the device gets rebooted it restarts the knock on function.

Any ideas?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:

Great rom, thank you...

Problem I'm having is that adaway wont work on this rom, anyone else having same issue and is there a fix? I've tried searching this thread but couldn't find anything.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] channeledbymodem:
I'm pretty sure Adaway is broken for the time being. Try Ad free. *Do not* check the symlink option.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RyanEJ25:
Has the battery life been improved? Also I saw the active notifications was fixed, so does that mean the active display is always on when you have notifications. I noticed on mine the active notification would display on a new alert but if i didnt swipe when it popped up it was gone.

Again thanks for all your work devs and other people just here to help out :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] clemson77on:
Dolphin browser is crashing a lot for me in this ROM. I don't know if its the ROM (which I absolutely love BTW) or if it's something else. Is Dolphin crashing for anybody else? FWIW, I haven't flashed the latest version of the ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mzfckr993:
AdAway does, in fact, work, but it might require some patience. First, uncheck the "check for updates" box in preferences. If that doesn't work, then from here on just retry until you succeed, however, there are some things that I did that may alleviate this problem:

Disable xposed

Disable "verify apps" in settings

Delete Adaway's SU permissions on every retry

Reboot every few tries

Also, perhaps, don't let the screen turn off and, of course, force close AdAway when retrying. Sometimes it works on the third try, sometimes it's the twentieth, all in all it's pretty random. Good luck!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RyanEJ25:
Great ROM so far. All i did was wipe the cache and dalvik and booted right up. I did have to reload setting from gravity box and the Xposed to reboot but works great. Also knock on on the notification bar is set to off and must be turned on. No other issues I have found yet but only flashed about an hour ago. :cool:

Edit: also has anyone used ART instead of dalvik? Some swear by it on the Nexus 5 and the KitKat build.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
I have, it seems faster
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RyanEJ25:
Thanks ill try it. The warning about not being supported by the rom and may cause data loss and restarting scared me lol.

I haven't had a single problem with this ROM. Runs like butter for me.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Mauijpm:
This is a development thread. If you don't like how the ROM is running either aid in developing it to make it better or don't say anything. Honestly, This ROM is a gift and much better than LG's stock 4.2.2, and it doesn't cost any of us users anything. We should all thank the devs and help out where we can. Opinions won't make this ROM better.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Linus_BE:
Weird :) But the ROM is the best available currently so I can live without the 2 games that don't work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
stupid question. I'm coming from samsung tab and I always liked their stock video player. Now the LG stock video player has some real cool features but I'm pretty sure it needs to run on a lg rom right? just like most samsung (if not all) apps? This is my 2nd lg device since the G2x. (I say 2nd because the nexus I don't considered LG since its supported by google). and the g2x left a real sour taste. :(

Since the latest update the battery life has been exceptional and I still use greenify. But I do have a problem with HBO GO.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ikenvape:
Check out Malladus, smooth and stockish with smart cover and other LG features.

Restore back then get titanium backup, you would definitely want the premium version. Then go to menu in app,do a back up of user apps (not system apps and/or user+ system apps)

Wipe and flash this one, download titanium from the store then restore user apps.
