yeah i definitely like this rom way more than the others and donated but i have tried chrome, boat, aokp, next, and several others. it may vary for different people and per unit but 80% of what i do is surf the internet and i am stuck with stock because for my tablet personally it is miles ahead. no lag, fast loading ext. Jake is an amazing dev. I'm sure he will let us know. If it is a personal preference I hope he can change it especially as i believe the browser he has included can be installed through the play store anyway i believe.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
That hide when log pressing the settings button is a g2 xposed feature. You have to turn it on
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] im_high_tech:
OK I looked through the entire xposed module list and could not find anything about the brightness and volume slider... What's the name exactly?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tribemac:
Just search play store for " g2 xposed"

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] cnims:
You have to install the G2 xposed module, activate it, then reboot. Now go into the G2 settings app (it's just called settings), under Notification panel and status bar and its the second option, Status bar drop down modifications.

I'm working on 1.2.6 to fix a few of these issues. Hoping to have it out tonight.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Wow, sounds great!

Mind if I try to make another AROMA installer for it?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
I selected this do I select the settings in the gear or hold the settings key On the device?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] haasgo:
Why dont u just share it with us? Or make a mod of the upcoming 1.2.6 with aroma to have more choices what to install and what not.

[MENTION=1102929]okibi[/MENTION]: why not just include all lg apps from scratch and let the user deinstall/deactivate them? A choice with aroma wud make it even more customizable. This wud enhance the whole experience imho. Nice work tho!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
I would like permission from [MENTION=1102929]okibi[/MENTION] first, before I post anything.

If and when I get permission to post anything, I will need all the different parts (ROM, LG apps and gapps) for 1.2.6 first and make sure the changes since 1.2.5 are incorporated correctly.

My goa is to have an option to just wipe cache and dalvik (after flashing) or data too (before flashing), and of course optional LG apps (yes/no) and gapps (yes/no).

Maybe Xposed framework (optional: yes/no) will be added too.

But first things first: 1.2.6 will need to be ready and released first and [MENTION=1102929]okibi[/MENTION] needs to be ok with this.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] haasgo:
I wud be greatful if u could share this with me :)

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Share what?

There's nothing to share at this point.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] okibi:
I'm fine with it, if it's something you would to contribute. I'll be uploading 1.2.6 this morning with the intent to release tonight.

As for why I separated them, many people didn't like downloading close to 2 GB every time the ROM updated even though the LG Apps and GApps weren't changing. It made it easier for the users to just download the updated ROM part.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jmill75:
I agree with having things split up. Quicker and more bandwidth friendly....
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Thanks!

Then the AROMA installer would be an addition to the seperate downloads offered by Okibi in the first post.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
In the updated ROM that will be coming out today, can you give a brief summary of what the major changes will be? For instance will it have some of the missing LG apps that are not in the current ROM such as the weather widget etcetera?

What other features or changes will it have? Will any of the performance related? Will any of them be to the kernel which would allow adjust of things like the gamma settings? I know those settings were available to be changed by other kernels on the LG Nexus 4 phone
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] haasgo:
U both make my day! :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Not sure when I have the time, once it is released...

But will be on it a.s.a.p.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] davito42:
Can not wait this is far the best (stable) rom until now with good battery life.

Bedankt voor je goede werk ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Thank you, but I haven't done anything yet.

Right now I'm just a user waiting for the next release.

When [MENTION=1102929]okibi[/MENTION] releases it, I will try to make an AROMA installer for it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] kushinan:
Hi when do you think you are going to released the 1. 2. 6. Thank you for your working
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Pootch:
Hello.

Does smart cover screen of/on work on that rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Maelstr0m:
it works
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zarrick19:
Oh well, the 1.2.5 isn't working for me, bootlooping every time I try to install it. Dowloaded it many times, still doesn't working. So I must downgrade to 1.2.4 (which is still a stable and great ROM!). Seeing the development is dead (or at least looks like) makes me sad...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Mercvtio:
Did you per chance wipe system before installing 1.2.5? I did once and it sent me into bootloop. In my experience, flashing cm11, then performing a factory reset, then flashing the rom always fixed it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zarrick19:
I've always wiped cache, dalvik, data and system - always bootlooped. But the 1.2.4 is still fantastic, its smooth, fast and has LG apps (Q-stuff). I see no reason to change to a Kit Kat ROM. I really really hope there will be more modified stock ROMs
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Mercvtio:
I wasn't saying you should switch to KitKat, not in a stock modified rom thread. No, I was just suggesting you flash CM11 before wiping data - not system, mind you - and flashing 1.2.5 again. Each time I would wipe system, this would be the only way for me to get Malladus to boot. But hey, if you're happy with 1.2.4, it's all the better for you!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Yeah, it looks like the bootloops are caused by wiping the system partition.

You could try once more by just wiping cache and dalvik if you're all ready on a Malladus ROM version (like 1.2.4).

I you like, I could upload the 1.2.5 ROM with an AROMA installer.

It's a single zip file you can flash in TWRP an you can choose what options you want, during the install (like LG Apps and Gapps).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] haasgo:
It seems that okibi dropped support for this device. I hope more devs get attracted to this very sleek device :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LeighR:
I like this ROM. I flashed CM11 but I actually like the LG skin.I had to flash the ROM twice - one of the download links had a very slightly different file size and although it flashed, the ROM went a bit haywire.

Now the ROM works great, except it won't switch off, it will only reboot :/
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
Malladus 1.2.5 AROMA installer with Gapps and LG Apps (optional)

Well, here it is, as promised:

Malladus 1.2.5 AROMA

(Malladus 1.2.5 combined with Gapps and LG apps, wrapped in an AROMA installer.)

The AROMA installer provides a nice interface while flashing and makes it easy to (re)install this great ROM.

Warning:

- Flash at your own risk. Although I tested the installer extensively, I can't guarantee it's perfect. (But works great for me!)

- The Wipe Data option hasn't been fully tested yet. It's designed to wipe the data partition without wiping Internal Memory and/or External Storage. Potentially it could wipe the entire device. (But it likely won't.)

- The AROMA file manager shows some funky colors. Don't know why and how to fix it. It works though.

- If you're already on the Malladus 1.2.5 ROM, this won't add anything new, except for the great experience for flashing with an AROMA installer.

Download:

Mega Link

Instructions:

Download the ROM and put it on your device (Internal Memory or External Storage).

Boot to recovery.

Make a backup (for safety).

Copy the backup to your PC (for extra safety)

Flash the ROM with the AROMA installer (no wipe before needed).

Please provide feedback!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] totohtc:
Ok thx for AROMA :D thus full wipe flash before the AROMA ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rvdgeer:
No, no wipe needed before you flash the AROMA installer.

During the process, you can choose a full wipe or just dalvik /cache.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] MisterWB:
issu with wifi mac address ?

Hello,

I installed malladus v1.2.5 after full wipe (date,system, cache ...).

I added LG apps and Gapps.

Since my Wifi Mac Adress as changed, as if it was define somewhere into the rom.

Now my mac address end with ...:B5

Did-you notice same thing on your tabs ?

Update of 23pm:

I found that we should edit binary file : /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

and change the 3th and 4th word that contain mac address as show bellow.

FF FF FF FF / 00 00 01 02 / 01 01 8C 3A / E3 4E 25 B5 ....

I performed this change on my side and that works perfectly :) My original mac address is back !!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ikenvape:
I hope not. This Rom has been go to ever since I got the gpad. It appears his last post was here on the 18th. I hope he's doing ok.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] azcamm27:
Wifi working on 1.2.5 but not detecting my network as soon as i flash back to stock it sees my network does anyone have any ideas please
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] MisterWB:
For me Malladus rom change original wifi mac address (see my previous post of yesterday evening)

If you have mac address filtering on your wifi access point, it becomes impossible to get network access.

In my case wifi was connected but IP layer was blocked and I can't obtain ip address.

Hope this can help you in your investigation.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] azcamm27:
Thanks for the reply still no luck cant see my wifi network so flashed back to stock was looking forward to the rom but kept getting force closes.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hasona:
I hope we do get an update when kitkat arrives. As it stands now I really dont need anything else into this rom so 1.2.5 is fine by me.

On another notice is there a good reason why this device doesnt have bigger support? Sure its new but still.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] RaiderWill:
Not going to happen...:cool:

Grab either a 2012 Nexus-7 for $130 - $140.00 or catch a N7 - 2013 16Gig on sale if you are a flashaholic.. :cool:

That's where all the action is.. This has been out almost 4 months now.. We've been lucky to get the few ROM's we have.

This will never become a "Developers Tablet".. And that's too bad.. This is a pretty solid Tablet. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hasona:
I am never repeating the mistake to buy a Nexus 7, I had so many problems that the 2013 was out of the question. Besides the G PAD looks miles better and feels better with the size.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] whoamigriffiths:
It's amazing how our perceptions are coloured by our experiences.

I agree with you, wholeheartedly, that the gpad is a great device.

I came from an original N7 and whilst the gpad is a big upgrade, my experience of the 7 is completely different and I would happily recommend it to others.

My old 7 is now being used by the missus, who loves it.

I'm not disappointed with the variety of roms for the gpad.

Yes a few more choices would be nice, but with the help of xposed framework and addons like gravity box, we can pretty much tailor roms to be exactly as we want.

If you want more options than this rom can you not try LRS Gpad rom by letschky?

I see he's also just released a rooted stock rom. Use that with the xposed G2 addon or gravity box and you should be good to go.

If you want more options have a browse of the xposed repository and you can cherry pick the best addons for you. (I'm doing this with cm11 nightlys)

All the best rich
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hasona:
Yeah the difference in opinions between users is pretty apparent :P

The thing is I liked it for what it was - a simple 2012 tablet that worked as it should. Then again the resolution is bad which makes my eyes hurt now that I wear glasses, performance degraded quickly even after updates and the G PAD looks miles better.

As for development, well it's been almost 2weeks since I posted that post and in this time I have downloaded XPosed and installed a bunch of features and the fact that the only thing I want is HD Netflix is why I think I want 4.4.

I usually like the SW as the manufacturer intended and that's why I never install any other Rom than Stock based ones both on my Xperia phones over the years and my Tablets. I do however like what developers do to keep a device in the game even after it's life support fom the OEM is already dead
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] RaiderWill:
I Agree,

Each of your opinions have merit.. Again, my suggestion was made on the assumption that "Development" was desired for the G-Pad 8.3..

I'm sure we are all *VERY THANKFULL* for what we have here ***FOR FREE*** from the Developer's that have been nice enough to Share their work with us.. couple that with Xposed Modules and yes.. you can make your G-Pad 8.3 your own..

But despite the Pros & Cons of the Nexus-7 2012/2013 all it takes is a visit to their section here on XDA to see the PLETHORA of ROM's & Kernels you have available.. From refined 4.3 to cutting edge 4.4.2 there must be over 40 ROM/Kernel Combos you can create.

For those that get "Bored" with just switching Themes with Xpose and want Totally Different Experiences.. There Is No Equal to the Nexus-7 Line.

I love my G-Pad.. the 30% increase in screen size makes it the *Perfect* size Tablet in my Opinion.

But lets be honest.. It is a somewhat Boring Experience as far as what you can do with it.. Kinda like June Cleaver.. the Beaver's Mom.. :)

The G-Pad is a Solid Tablet.. and does NOTHING wrong.. But like with June Cleaver, you can only Freak Her to a point.

The Nexus-7 is the Hot Chick in the Tight Red Dress that you know will let you do ALL the Freaky-Deaky shiit you want to.. so you'll never get bored.. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hasona:
Ohh man do I love the analogy at the end!

But yeah I have to say the experience with stock rom right now is super solid for me but then again I like to have everything solid without countless of unnecessary - at least for me - features. If countless of features is the thing then its as you say - nexus is the choice for that.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ikenvape:
To add to the hilarious metaphor..

Even though the Gpad isn't slutty like it's tight red counterpart, she's the type that doesn't need makeup to show off her natural beauty and don't get me started on the ass.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] RaiderWill:
You prefer stability?

You desire a "Stock" experience?

You get what you need with Xpose?

May I suggest you do a Full Wipe including a System Wipe.. and install the Mahdi-ROM (2-9-14)

You'll have the same stability of stock with superior speed..

I just want to note: I Do Not make it a habit of mentioning another ROM in a Developer's thread.. but support or comments from the OP in this thread seem to give the impression this ROM is no longer supported.

If I am wrong I apologize.. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hasona:
I actually converted over to Mahdi Rom yesterday because the latest update is supported over there. Don't get me wrong Okibi had done great work until I guess he decided that he would stop support for the G Pad which is completely understandable. The answer to the three questions is yes btw :P

The highlighted part is the part that nails what the G Pad is all about!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] whoamigriffiths:
Haha yes the gpad has a great ass.

I like to keep her dressed in rubber personally :P

Is this rom still under development? I'm liking it very much. The CM roms always without fail screw up my wifi and make it terribly slow. Good work on this, I love it!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hasona:
I would say no but then again there is nothing to really fix. We could also wait and see 2hen kitkat comes out if the developer continues the project. Personally I love it right now!

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] annoyingduck:
Update: aroma opened, but it didn't boot back into twrp and actually flash the rom. I tried several configurations, all the same result - stuck on boot because no rom installed. FYI. I'm using the latest twrp 2.6.3.3. Not 3.2 @ time of publishing...

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ej_424:
Agreed Thanks for making this ROM! I think stock just runs better and enjoy some of the apps, but definitely a huge step up from stock. Performance tweaks make this tab usable again. Thank you and wish a full/quick recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Moe5508:
Just flash the ROM again without any wipes...it'll go through this time successfully...Experienced a half flash a couple of times as well...not sure what the matter is with the AROMA installer on this ROM but it does a half-cocked flash, boots back into Recovery and only on the second flash does it go through successfully...

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] kokotron:
Hello, can someone confirm if this rom improves the sound of the original stock rom? If you use a rom like CM11 the sound becomes vastly improved. If this ROM had the sound quality of CM11 then it would be the best rom ever. :) There must be some weird DSP work at stock rom that makes the sound all tunelly and muddy, which is "fixed" with CM11 (probably because CM11 doesn't apply ANY dsp effects by default).

Will you update to new 4.4.2 please ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] okibi:
As mentioned in the PM you sent me, yes I will be updating this ROM to 4.4.2. Now that Malladus 2.0.1 is complete and ready, I will put it on the G Pad 8.3. I'm almost done porting the work over and will likely have it up this weekend.

Also, sorry for the hiatus on this ROM. I've had a lot going on personally lately and focusing on one device took all of my time.
