Just ran quadrant on both mahdi rom and PA.

Mahdi I get 9990+to 10100 and PA around the 10500 to10600 mark.

I imagine mahdi is slower as it has quite a few extras in it as std.

cm11 *due to technical issues :P

Xda app not letting me add pics at.

**edit 2

I've worked out what the discrepancies with some of your scores and mine and I hope would guess the stock LG rom too.

I just updated my PA rom and ran a few quadrant tests after. I was surprised to see scores around the 8k mark.

I then flashed the bionic and dalvik updates from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546120

My very first run was back up to 10.5k.

You can bet that LG already has these tweaks in its stock rom.

I will when I can flash just one mod at the time to see if it's just one or both that are boosting the benches (it's always felt smoother /quicker subjectivly since I first tried the tweak but I've never bothered testing till now)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mllacey:
I was having the same problem. This what I did to get the battey to perform much better.

1. Install Greenify and auto hibernate all apps.

2 .If not using GEL then Freeze the app via TB.

3 .Change location services to "Low battery use".

4. Since the Auto Shut off does not work with my case then I set the screen "Sleep" to 2min.

With these changes Im seeing much bettery life but via GSam Battery Monitor Pro I still see battery drain at the rate above 5% an hour with the screen off but the onscreen battery drain issue has been severely reduced.

Im now attempting to use SetCPU to limit the CPU speed btw 500 - 700mhz when the screen is off. My initial results show the "Screen Off Battery" use drop to less than 1% a hour from 5% an hour but the tablet became unresponsive twice in 4 days requiring a reset..

From what I can figure out, LG's Power Save function is basically what im trying to emulate via SetCPU.

Good luck.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
FOr me simply using greenify and sleeping all apps that I dont want notifications from and disabling google now from the GEL settings did the trick(I didn't have to uninstall), I went 10 hours and only lost 1%, I am very happy

Malladus

Could you please enlighten me? What serious issues did you discover with the latest Malladus build? I'm running it with no noticeable issues. It's smoother, quicker and leaner than stock yet remains compatible with XBMC, which no other custom rom is.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mllacey:
I've given up on SetCpu due to it casing the tablet not to wake up.

I've gone ahead and greenfield all apps and disabled Google Now with location services but continue to see huge battery loss while the screen is off.

I'm now attempting to used the power save function in the performance section of settings.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:

hold the power plus vol down and when the lg gets on the screen to continue holding vol down but let go of power and hold vol up

It will ask to factory reset press power three times and you'll be in the recovery

Well I followed the OP instructions and just flashed the Rom alone (cleaned nothing)...kinda wondered if that would work OK beforehand, but it did just fine for me. No problems at all. (Now I wonder

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I'm not sure for app you ask for but that usually happens if odex file remains in app folder or if you previously used lucky patcher or similar. Try to look in /data/app/ or system/app/ and manually delete file which causing error.

ah, thx. Hmmm I don't want a factory reset, so will a dirty flash work? I guess so, but what can I expect as a difference
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] NoLips:
I believe from the update on 24-4 and so on it's recommend to do clean flash. I always do a dirty one :fingers-crossed:

But I'm still on 13-4 update and have no reason to update because everything running fine for me....

You can do make a backup, which is always recommend and do a dirty flash.

When you having problems.... then go back and/or flash it again with the clean method.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sefirosu0522:
Thanks. I never saw this until now. I just ended up wiping again and it seemed to work. Very odd. But thank you for the advice. I'll do that next time it happens.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
I did a *really filthy* flash - wiped nothing. Using TWRP and installed the new updated zipped Rom. And all is fine here.:fingers-crossed:

This doesn't mean it will be for everyone that tries this method however...so to be safe, at least part-way, at least do the wiping of cache and davlik before the flash.

Just be *sure* and make a backup before attempting all this with TWRP, or your recovery app of choice, of your present running system first - then if you get a bad flash/loop/ or hang, you can do the volume - /power ditty to get into recovery and restore your last android backup and go again with a bit more wipes! :o

On this rom, the screen brightness is too low :(
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] filigi:
Hey, just installed this rom, everything's running fine.

Almost everything: No sound with Skype, Echo/Sound test doesn't work, no sound for real calls too.

Any hints ?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cubic25:
Just installed this ROM on my G tab. Looks awesome.

I must have downloaded an old version by accident (2.5 v500-20140326), because as soon as I booted it up, it told me there was an update via OTA. When I try to download the OTA, it gives me 404 not found.

Rather than doing it manually, is there a way to get the OTA to work? Do I also need to re-flash gapps after the OTA?

Edit:

After playing around with it I have found:

-screen brightness is too low, even on full. Screen brightness on this tablet isn't that great, but on this ROM, it seems worse.

-vibrate is very very weak. Almost non existent.

-as mentioned earlier, OTA link is broken.

Other than that, it is faster and smoother than stock.

Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dialmformostyn:
I found that after locking and unlocking the tablet a few times, brightness seemed to return to what you'd expect.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cubic25:
+1 to this. Brightness seems normal again. The other issues are still persistent though. The screen rotation one is especially annoying.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
What's the issue with screen rotation? This is the first comment I've seen about that? Also, is battery life as good with this one as it has been with previous releases?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cubic25:
My screen wasn't rotating until after I did a restart. Now everything is fine. It seems that this ROM needs a couple of restarts before it settles. Not sure on battery life yet.

Anyone know how this ROM goes on ART? Worth a try?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] i22mamad:
Screen rotation

With this version, I find the screen rotation laggy. Does it happen in yours?

Thank you.

Yup. It ranges from not-too-bad to noticeably slower.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] i22mamad:

Preety fed up of custom ROMs. Would love the vanilla android feel but no rom I've ever tried has been stable. Soo many app crashes and things no working as it should. Sadly LG rom is to bloated for me. In future will only ever buy nexus devices. This rom looks good but at the end of the day its all mickey mouse compared to pure android.

Well done for all the hard work though.

Aereo Streaming App not playing well with Mahdi 4.42.

Anyone have a problem with the Aereo TV Streaming app.

Im getting lockups with v05/20 on my Gpad V500 using when streaming live TV but not watching recoded shows. Ive gone as far as a full wipe, re-downloading the ROM & G-Apps and just loading the Aereo app. Also note I have no issues with my Verizon LTE Gpad V810 running stock rooted 4.2.2

The even stranger part is im seeing the same issue on the LG G2 with all 4.4.2 builds of Mahdi.

Any thoughts ?

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] meanoc:
I sold my Nexus 7 2013 to buy the Samsung Pro 8.4, sold that and bought the Gpad so I would disagree with that statement. If your only concerned with mostly useless updates then the Nexus is king. If your older and your eye site is failing the extra 1.3" is more welcome than any update. The Samsung has very small text that in most cases cannot be corrected. My only gripe with the Gpad is battery life.

The Nexus is always available on ebay for around $170, even lower for the 16GB version.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RaiderWill:
Since nobody has answered your question Woody.. I will. :cool:

It's impossible for anyone to compare April 25th's Mahdi with May 20th's compile now that we are basically almost in July.. your best bet is to go back and look at the change logs and see if anything was tangibly applicable to any applications specific to your device.

The easiest way really is to just back up April's release and try May's release.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] woody1:
That's what I'll do. I've just noticed that there was very little discussion of the May release and I was not sure if many people actually updated to it. The May release must have been very low impact based on the amount of discussion. Maybe that just means that nobody had any issues with it.
