Perfect did that and autorotation came back. Thanks so much for your help

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RyanEJ25:
Is this compatible with my original 4.2 os. I know on my g2 I had to bootstack to 24a (4.4) from 11b (4.2) do I need to do that on the g pad or can I just flash from 4.2

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] k1silver:
You can just flash Mahdi from 4.2. You can see the related topics here.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] muiriddin:
I spent some time and got my V500 back on Mahdi last night. So far the reboot was the way to fix auto rotation like was stated above. The other thing that I want to mention is that adb reboot recovery will not work if you leave the cable plugged in. I have seen this mentioned in other threads when you switch to the A revision firmware but had forgotten it when I was trying to convert from the latest stock to the older boot firmware. So if reboot recovery is not working for you remember to take the tablet off the charger.

Just making sure people are paying attention, apparently you are the first. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Seems WE are paying attention...but how about you?? We request change-logs -- you request donations? ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
When have I ever requested a donation?? Ummm let's see NEVER! don't come in here spouting garbage! I've never and will never request donations! No one on the Mahdi team has ever done that nor will we ever do it. Wow you found a typo in one of the many threads we have and you've got such a huge issue with that you need to speak lies of me or the team? Uncalled for. If you want a change log then make it so you and others can read! No one is "REQUIRED" to provide that to you nor are you required to be here or use this ROM! No one is holding you down and forcing anything. So please feel absolutely free to leave.... Have a wonderful day!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] iruiz2:
Way out of line, man...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Sorry if my statement was taken wrong, and I appogize to Moose.

Reason I said what I did about donations was related to the 'Donate' box under his user name. Meant nothing negative, and sorry it was taken as it was. Other's had reqested change-logs - but the link, or changes were never provided.

Hi !

Nice rom and great work, thank you !
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] slebit:
It's working for me. I downloaded earlier today.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheTeek:
Works great, but still audio and frame drops micro stutter in video and games.

Was also noticable with CM11 and Slimkat (both from infected and confirmed others had it)

I'm on the bootloader of 4.2.2 which is worse then 4.4.2 in my opinion, anyone else with the same problem?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] iruiz2:
How do you know what bootloader you are on? Sorry for the off topic...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] lbretth:
I'm running this ROM on GS4 and I love it, so really glad to find I can run it on my GPad too. Thanks Mahdi!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheTeek:
If you did not install the OTA update to 4.4.2 and you did not install the bootloader yourself you are on 4.2.2.

I was on 4.4.2 before installing twrp, but I had the dimmed screen on boot, so infected told me to go back to the 4.2.2, there are numerous topics on how to go back.

After i'd done that my ROM was reset to factory default ( :( )... and i had more issues regarding the stutter of sound and frame drops.

I will try to go back to bootloader 4.4.2, the dimmed screen is only at boot, but if the "stutter" error will be less it is worth it.

Now it is really irritating me.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:
Let me know if it is an improvement, Im new to this rom so have not noticed the stutter yet.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheTeek:
In a normal day to day use like browsing the internet, i do nog have issues.

Im only having problems on watching movies or sometimes while playing games. Yesterday i was whatching the worldcup final from a stream. That caused a lot of stutter and sound probs. And no that was not stream related. It only seem to trigger the fault a lot faster.

But i now installed the newly released adreno gpu driver which is in the android rom development section. I will let you know if probs are solved... ?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:
Anyone have issues running plex on this rom? wont even play for 10 seconds...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] iruiz2:
On the 05/20 ROM, no issues. I haven't installed the new one yet.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] matt1500:
Absolutely love this rom. Can't understand why peeps spend so much time trying to port the GPE rom when this is sooooooo good.

Two small bugs if anyone can help

Play store now says Amazon app is not supported on this device????Strange!!

Secondly when my device wakes sometimes the background on the lock screen is just black. Any ideas???

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheTeek:
Same goes for "angry birds start wars 2"
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:
I tried slimkat rom too which also had issues playing with plex, reverted to stock and plays fine, hopefully this gets sorted as this rom rocks apart from a few things.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] muiriddin:
Amazon and angry birds is a dpi issue either use xposed module called all apps in play store or edit build prop and change dpi from Mahdi default of 270 to 320.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] y0bailey:
Just wanted to post and say that this ROM is FANTASTIC. Owned my G-pad for 2 days before I became sick of LG's default interface/bloatware.

Rooted/TWRP/Mahdi rom install and all of my gripes are now gone. It now feels like my Nexus 4, just a giant version.

Now to decide on a case. Keep up the good work!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I updated to the latest Mahdi version from the 4/25 version a few days ago. Everything is good, so far, but it seems that the battery life is a little bit less than the older version. Has anybody else noticed this? Did anybody tweak anything to improve battery life after flashing this version?

Good battery life is one of the things that makes this a great rom!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:
Can someone please try and watch a downloaded (rather than streamed) tv program from bbc iplayer or stream hd with plex media player see if it works for them. thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] rpete76:
I didn't have any iplayer content downloaded but streaming was fine. I had a local mp4 file which played fine, but plex was unwatchable. Really stuttering which wasn't an issue on the previous version.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:
Yes iPlayer steamed fine although looked lower res, downloads in iPlayer are normally better quality. So I'm thinking it's nothing to do with network but maybe hardware video decoding but only certain types. I've managed to play fine from dlna media servers direct with mxplayer.

Hi there, i using Dalvik in Lg g pad and its fine...but i use Art with my nexus 5 in Mahdi and its cool...is there any bug or any problem in this device??

Awesome ROM moose!! ;) :D

Soooo much customising I get lost haha.

Can't comment on battery life just yet maybe a day or so...

anyone looking for the AIC kernel link

Swyped from my Gpad
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] javierpierola:
Its strange, because i havent the apk google camera, and dont let install...i think its a bad flash...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
At this time I couldn't say because I haven't played with the kernel enough. The battery life seems great so far... can't comment on gameplay etc just yet. Will report back :)

Cal I sent you a message and sent and couldn't see it sent. Was peed of to say the least haha.

If you didn't get the message ill try and break it down so it's less typing:

Kernel benefits so far:

.Battery

.Temperature

.General UI

Reason for Mahdi

.Customisation

.A lot more stable then earlier realeses

.Same performance as CM11 (both same)

Kernel Installer

.Pick Base (Stock OR AOKP/CM)

.Then pick Base Android version 4.2.2 OR 4.4.4 (Related to dim boot issue I think)

I picked 4.4.4 because that is the ROM I flashed to :D

Hope the quick bulletpoints aren't a pain

It is updated to the everything Mahdi has pushed to github.

https://github.com/Mahdi-Rom?tab=activity

The newer device tree is on my github as the one that is on Mahdi-rom is outdated.

I've communicated with Mahdi786 and I'll be building for the v500 whenever there is updates. So from now on we will be getting updates a lot faster than what we were getting before.

I'm not sure what you mean by its dated 7\20.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] rpete76:
Tried the latest version but still got issues with plex. Anyone else?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] one_love_420:
Which ROMs for the v500 does plex work properly?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
OK. On my next full charge I will do a gaming binge GTA or something.

I will then recharge and watch YouTube videos with a CPU monitor in the background and bluetooth on etc.

for another test to see how screen on time is.

Then we will both see :D if it's good enough.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] uzi2:
The changelog for the update to 4.4.4r2 is dated 0720, so I guess it is not included in your build dated 0719.

Good to hear about the regular updates...

... and good to see that you are using a screen density of 320, so I don't have to change it before flashing :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] one_love_420:
Yeah as soon as Mahdi merges the 4.4.4r2 up streams into his git I'll build a new update for us.

Edit: it seems its already done. But now I got to figure out why the animation options are not showing up in the display settings.

Front and rear camera working here on a fresh install of Mahdi ROM over latest KK OTA. What issues are with the camera anyways on this ROM that others are experiencing?

Only reason I ask is because I may flash back to JB to fix the dimming issue with this ROM, so I want to know what problems people had with the camera and if I might experience the same thing. I can live with a broken camera, but the dimming problem is damn annoying.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:

So, being a new Gpad owner, looks like this is a more popular ROM. Willing to try it, read through last 15 pages or so. Should I flash it from 4.2.2 base (to avoid dimming issues?) Or first OTA to latest 4.4, then root, CWM and flash using latest (7/20) built? Any other things to watch out for?

Is there a debloat guide or LG like ROM which is better then stock? Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gffmac:
Update all the way, root, flash recovery, flash 4.2.2 base file (in other thread) update recovery, wipe, flash Mahdi :)

Best reboot recovery after each recovery step to avoid any issues.

Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
GApps need flashing again.

If its from the same Dev no, Just wipe Cache and Dalvik.

(From what I have read. Any build from May onwards has had a new Developer doing the builds.)

Check the Changelog and see if it needs a full wipe.

I personally do a full wipe everytime.

(So I can have a clean slate, and chance of a mess up is like 2% lol)

Its takes me an hour max to set up everything again.

That includes Games, Apps and seeing the ROM customisation options etc.

If your gapps are pa-gapps & current, just dirty flash.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] annoyingduck:
Be careful, I know that there was a recent updater script error in one of the PA gapps packages. Read the past 10 pages or so in that thread before dirty flashing.

On another quick note, I'm always one to recommend clean flashes, especially on a tablet running aosp. It's not like a stock rom that has so much "stuff" or your phone that has a pile of other "stuff".

Using titanium for my user apps/wifi passwords/Bluetooth pairings, I can clean flash any aosp rom and be completely set up the way I was in less than an hour from start to finish including a nandroid backup/ti backup/flashing new rom/setting up rom/restoring ti backup...
