grrrr. I forget Factory reset, so it is stuck in boot (turning colored circles) How do i get in recovery?

vol. down and power button doesn't work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dummy1001:
Hi,

Turn fully off your device. Then keep pressing volume up and down and power button.

From here you reach recovery again and you can do full wipe.

and 2nd how do i press volume up and down and power button? do you mean 3 buttons at the same time and when do I release which button?

Follow the factory reset instructions. If you have custom recovery, it doesn't actually reset anything. It just reboots you into recovery mode.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tomleeuw:
o.k. thx for that instruction. but how to power down without restarting imo I tried a lot of combinations but every time it restarts

:confused: ***feel nooby***
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsmitty166:
Hold the power button for 20 seconds

:good: Awesome, hero of the day!

Now the Mahdi rom is running, so far looking good >Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Thanks, I didn't know about the long press option. That works, but it's not well-implemented, because you have to cycle multiple times and the "Consent to location form" pops up while you're doing it.

In general, I'm not very happy with the notification and quick settings options in Kitkat. People complain about the stock rom, but it actually gives you more control over settings and they're easier to work with. The lack of a clean GPS setting is one example. I notice that the slider for the screen brightness doesn't tell you the % setting. Maybe I need to explore some other Kitkat roms and see how they handle notifications and settings.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mx82:
Mahdi Rom works fine, thx.

I've tried qualcomm optimized dalvik patch for cm11 , but the G Pad became slower (25k+ -> 20-22k @ antutu).

Has this rom already optimized dalvik libraries ?

Anybody know how to make the lock screen auto-rotate? I can't find a setting for it
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dEX2340:
Not bad, the battery life ... But I know, a tablet should be used ?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] katsika:
settings-customization-quick settings panel-tiles and layout and add an orientation tile. That way you can select between auto rotation and locked rotation for the mode you want. I saw at your previous post you said there is not a clear option for gps, you can add a location tile so you can switch between wifi, gps or both. I find this rom better than the stock rom, it certainly has more options.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of them give me what I was looking for. First, the location tile is enabled by default, so it was already there. Yes you can toggle through the options but the process is not very good, because you have to repeatedly pull down the menu, answer the "consent form" etc. Very messy. What's needed is a way to keep "location" turned on or off, but selectively enable GPS.

Also, the auto-rotation tile has no effect on the lock screen, which is the issue I was asking about. The lock screen doesn't rotate to landscape even when auto-rotate is on. So far, I haven't found any way to make the lock screen rotate.

As far as the Mahdi rom, the good things are that it's snappy and the sound is much improved over the stock rom. Slimport works great. Some of the customization options are useful. On the stock rom, the pulldown menu is unnecessarily cluttered, but it has all of the options I need readily available.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] katsika:
sorry my bad, you asked about the lock screen indeed, i also havent found a way to rotate it :( .
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sckc23:
Excellent rom, smooth and bug free. Decent battery life too. Much appreciated for your work.

Two things : will my sleep wake case still work with this rom. And secondly anyone had any joy using skygo app after installing a rom. Its kinda making me hold off but I really hate lg stock rom. Missing vanilla android so much
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
Fixed USB mouse problem

For anyone who's interested, I was able to fix the problem I had with a USB wireless mouse. The problem was that the right mouse button behaves the same as a left mouse button. Normally, a right mouse button click performs a "back" action, which is very useful.

I used installed this keymapper app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tincore.and.keymapper. It was a bit of a learning curve to get it set up, but it does the job. If you wanted to, you could use it to remap other mouse or keyboard keys.

I would prefer to see this fixed in the rom, but the keymapper app is a viable workaround.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Op3a:
I want to now this to. Anyone confirm?

Also, can I flash this over the CM11?

Enviado do meu LG-V500 através de Tapatalk
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Pman:
Yup, I use the IVSO case and the sleep wake works perfectly fine (also double tap works too).

I can't tell you about Sky go app as I don't have sky, but both the Sky go and Sky Go tablet apps are compatible according to play store.

If it runs well or not, that's another question entirely...looking at user ratings and issues with kitkat, i think it's pot luck.

Yes you can flash CM11, but you cannot do a "dirty" flash (ie flash over another rom, keeping same system settings, apps etc). You will need to backup your current rom to sd card and do a full factory wipe before you install CM11. If you change roms regularly, I would always set up each rom to your liking, back them up fully, and then switch around roms when you please (when you stick to one, you can update to latest version of that rom by dirty flashing it and then replace your old backup of that rom).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] alakiha:

QRemote

loved this Rom...it was my daily driver after hearing how crap the sound and how horrible the gamma was on the original Rom. The only thing I missed was the QRemote application. Now theres a Kitkat rom available, any chance of getting the qremote from it working on Mahdi?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] SS2006:
can you add the tap the screen to turn on like the LG knock
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Pman:
There's a better alternative:

HTC SenseTV

Says it's compatible with only my LG G Pad (with the Mahdi rom), so worth giving it a try.

Actually tried it now, doesn't work, but HTC says that there apps will eventually be working with all non-HTC devices

Hopefully one day LG will follow suit and put there dedicated apps on the play store like Motorola and HTC.

At first, thanks for your great work, Mahdi Rom is very stable and fast.

I have only one problem with my Micro TV Tuner http://www.elgato.com/en/eyetv/eyetv-micro With the stock rom, the TV Stick work fine, but not with Mahdi Rom. In the Play Store, the EyeTV Micro app is incompatible. I change the dpi in the build.prop to 320 and also the regional code to GB, but no luck. Can somebody to explain why?

Sorry for my bad english

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] matt1500:
Two things I've found. If you make a folder of apps on your home screen some times when you click on it it opens but it's all greyed out and transparent so have to click off it on back on. Very annoying.

Secondly double tap off works but can't double tap to wake. Actually a side issue when I open my smart case it turns g pad on but takes me to lock screen. Anyway to avoid this?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] m.mcrespo:
I am using this room and love, but one question. This room support app to SD? Or just data games race gameloft are very big.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] pemati:
We have an update! ? thank you!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Pman:
Yeh that happens sometimes, to fix it you will need Xposed app installed. Once you've set that up, get yourself the All apps in Play Store module and that will make virtually all apps compatible with your device without the need to change your dpi.

Not sure about the folder grey background, if you use a custom launcher (e.g Nova) you can change the background colour and transparancy of the folder open background.

Double tap to wake should work, it's double tap to sleep doesn't. As an alternative, there's double tap status bar to sleep:

Go to Settings > Customisation > Status bar > Tick "Double tap to sleep"

Yes you can avoid unlock to go to lock screen; you'll need to enable a Quick Setting first:

Go to Settings > Customisation > Quick settings panel > Tiles and layout > Tap "+" and add "Lock screen"

Once you done that, pull down the Quick Settings toggle (top right) and tap the "Lock Screen" tile so it's greyed out, ie it's not enabled.

Give it a try with your smart cover and that will work a treat for you.

Yes and no. It doesn't work if you stick in an SD card for the pad to recognise. But what you can do is format your sd card for an app to do it:

Follow these instructions carefully - Prep SD Card for moving apps

Make sure to only take a maximum of 20% of the SD Card as a partition, e.g. 32GB should have max 6GB for partition, keeps the sd card from failing.

Once you've done that, follow these steps to Link the apps to sd card - How to use Link2SD

Now a issue, but not a rom issue, but device issue:

I try use a hard drive WD My Passport 1Tb with a USB OTG cable, but doesn't work.

In my Moto G XT1033, Kit Kat, unroot, works perfectly.

I already try the stock, CM11, CM11 Infected, ParanoidAndroid and Madhi (including with dyn kernel), but nothing.

I already try another hard drive, with a external power source, and nothing.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Hibble:
I found a bug with pairing bluetooth devices. It seems that every V500 ROM has this bug, because it happened with Dirty Unicorns as well.

Here my the description:

When I have paired my keyboard, it is listed under "paired devices". To connect it again you have to push on the name of the device. But whenever I try this, nothing happens.

On CM11 of my phone this reconnect works flawless.

The only workaround for now is to unpair the device and to pair it again.

I have attached two screenshots for better understanding:

Hello Pman,

thanks for your help. My english is not so good, so I don't understand to install Xposed. But I think, it's the same as change the dpi and this dosen't help.I save the app EyeTV Micro app on my HTC One and install it on the G Pad. After open the app, I get an error like "device requirements are are not supported". Is that a driver problem?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
I haven't updated yet, but I have no problem pairing my Bluetooth keyboard using the previous version of Mahdi.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Pman:
No problem, have tried to see if it's compatible, doesn't seem to be.

The website states it works with Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, One X (Android 4.1.1 or later), Note, Note II, Note 3, S II, S III, S4, Tab 3 8.0 so might not work with G Pad yet.

Xposed + All apps in playstore doesn't change dpi as such, it makes your phone think it's a Nexus 5 (for example) so most apps are compatible with your device (even if it isn't).

If you do have problems with apps that are not compatible, you can follow these instructions:

1. Settings > Security > Tick "Unknown Sources"

2. Download Xposed and install on your G Pad

3. Open Xposed > Framework > Tap "Install/Update" > Reboot

4. Once rebooted, open Xposed > Download > Search "All apps in Playstore > Download and Install

5. Again on Xposed > Module > Tick "All apps in playstore" to enable the app > Go back to Framework > Reboot

6. Once rebooted, it will work for you!

Once you have Xposed up and running, you will only need to do steps 4-6 for any app you want.

No worries. Hmm yeh the only issue it can be is driver related if it used to work with stock.

You could try a different kernel. There's the dyn.kernel which has hotplug driver, it might be compatible with DVB.

Otherwise, there maybe someone kind enough to compile a driver for DVB-T to work with the Mahdi kernel.

Works like a boss. Although just a few issues and suggestions that would make this top notch:

- Enable volume key orientation when changing to landscape

- Noticed that for Pattern Screen lock, the "Show pattern error" doesn't show error when enabled.

- For the recents pannel, possibility to add the Clear all button in the nav bar as an option (or replace the recent button with the clear all button when pressed). It would make the ui look a lot neater.
