[HTC Startrek] Survivant:
I found this nice little registry tweak to remove the roaming icon (triangle) on HowardForums.

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableRoamingIndicator

Set 1 to disable the triangle

Set 0 to enable the triangle

I now have a square E or G icon instead :)
[HTC Startrek] bostik:
same problem

hi mix,

i have the same problem. this behaviour happens only with sims of vodafone (128), with old ones (64) no.

this happen also with qtek 8310 with the same sim vodafone 128
[HTC Startrek] mix:
Hi Bostik,

I've finally found (some time ago anyway...) that this is due to the fact there is the PIN code activated on phone startup...

If you remove PIN code lock on phone startup, then the ROMAING triangle disappears...

I believe this is a O.S. fault, not within the phone itself...

Should be checked with other machines with WM5 PHONE on (but may differ due to OS different builds...).

I decided to risk removing my PIN code... (I can recognise my phone being lost within minutes usually and I can then block SIM and phone very quickly).

It's annoying, but this is our life... ;-)

Happy new year.

This occurs when swithing from 900 to 1800 networks of the same operateor, its a bug
[HTC Startrek] Tweakecho:
I have an O2 Wizard G4 not CID unlocked I cannot get my roaming Icon to dissapear due to its looking for a tower from the UK. That is from the O2 guys and the Registry Tweak has no effect for me either it automatically changes back to Dword 0 after Soft reset.

Roaming Indicator Solved for Tornado

Thanks Mate!!!!

Been driving T-Mobile crazy about this Roaming Icon and its gone. Worked for my T-Mobile SDAII aka HTC Tornado and following this simple instruction( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1717878&postcount=3 ) now I don't get the Roaming Warning and Outlook works fine. :o)
[HTC Startrek] mennosmit:
I tried applying this trick to my Kaiser. My provider (Telfort) got bought by another (KPN) so now all Telfort users "roam" on the KPN network. Anybody know any other tricks I could try to get rid of the roaming triangle icon? Thanks so much!!

my precious...2nd post.

Original build.prop from release (unmodified)

Known Issues & Fixes:

Boot loop when booting into TWRP with USB plugged in
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ASW1:
Can you make an EU version too?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nsmart:
Do we only have to change the build.prop (like in previous version) to make it the eu version?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
Not sure if that's the only change.. However I do have the official KDZ for GB (which hasn't been released yet) as well.. Can look into it tomorrow. In the mean time I can post the unmodified build prop from that build.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
build.prop on this one is wierd..

Locale is set to US and English by default:

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

Yet target country is SCA

ro.build.target_country=SCA

ro.build.target_region=SCA

Anyways, for those waiting. Upload failed halfway through and had to restart it.. Going to bed now and leaving it uploading..

It will appear in this folder when it's finished. I'll update the OP in the morning.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Moe5508:
Is that bug present when rebooting to recovery while device is plugged into USB port?

Downloading now, I see the file is ready... :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
So how certain are you that this is really the US KK if the build.prop says otherwise?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] annoyingduck:
You are the man! Downloading now
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
First of all, many thanks for the quick work. It installed smoothly and without a hitch. At first view, it is all working fine.

After installing, it did display English (US) as the primary language, though the Keyboard layout was strangely in Portuguese by default. The LG Apps are all good except one: QVoice is missing.

Another sign this is not the real US version is the QRemote. The US Qremote usually has TV and Cable Box. This one has the European defaults TV+DVD+Blu-ray.

That said, the version is unquestionably KitKat, but my initial suspicion is that this is a doctored European version, hence the lack of English language QVoice, and the above details.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
So to be clear is this in fact the official US version or is a modified European one with a US build.prop file?

I ask because qvoice and the Qremote are 2 features I do like on 4.2.2 and am wondering based on what I am reading here, if they will work or exist in this version?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] djcody:
Working great, thank you again :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
There is no Qvoice at all, and it is not listed in the LG Apps available for download.

Qremote works on my LG TV here in Brazil, just as the original US Qremote did, so no issues, but there is no cable box option (I never used it anyhow). I have an LG G2 phone, and the monster selection of equipment and brands it covers has always made it a more attractive choice for Qremote to me anyhow.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
But that is just it, the cable box option is in the US firmware. It is not in the European firmware. Q voice also is in the current firmware 4.2 .2 US version
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
You are all correct, this indeed does not look like the Official US build or at least not the final one. Strange thing is I did infact download this directly from LG servers and left the build.prop untouched (just as it appears on the second post.) I have removed "US" from the title and post since we are unsure what this version really is.

Also, I've added a mirror in the OP and links to the KDZ file this is based off of.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
Do any of the versions that you have access to have the quick voice app? I tried to install the 4.2 .2 version into system and fix permissions. And even after a reboot they do not appear to show up.

Also one other interesting things, is that the Q remote app does not show cable box as an option, so it is acting more like the non American version. However what is interesting was I previously had a remote setup including the cable set top box for my home TV. Ironically even though I cannot set up a new cable box, the previously set up when I have remained and is functional. This leads me to believe that there must be a setting somewhere that can be changed that with open up access to more devices on our Q remote app

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
I just flashed the GB version and it has a working QVoice.. I'm going to post a Flashable zip of the GB EU version as well.. then we can look to see if a simple build.prop change can give you the US version of Q Remote, which has Cable Box option.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
Been using the GB version for the last hour and everything is working great.. all features including Q Voice. I am uploading the flashable zip now and will have a new thread opened shortly.

I was able to get the US Q Remote version (with Cable Box) working with just a couple build.prop changes. This might just be my daily driver until we get the Official US version.

Cheers! :good:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mmd1989:
Can i dirty flash it or must wipe
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Moe5508:
Depends on what you're running currently, I guess. But this release auto-wipes Dalvik and Cache I think so you can do a dirty flash if on a KitKat stock variant...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
You can do a dirty flash from any LG Stock version, 4.2.2 or 4.4.2

If you have TWRP working it's assumed you are already using the V50010a ABOOT, so you should be fine.

PS.. new thread is up.. I am very happy with the GB build so far... Very stable and everything seems to work.

I'll make a new version of my build.prop toggle flashable zip for those of you that want to use US Q Remote version.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
Since I don't need the GB after using the one uploaded earlier as a gb version, would just like what was missing, I.e. q voice and q remote features.

Can you make a zip of just the QVoice?

Can you elaborate the build. Prop changes?

Thanks!!!!

One curiosity I have is whether anyone has tested this and 18a to see if there is an improvement in the color profile. The 4.2.2 has a yellow bias to its color profile (like almost all desktop monitors). I know that the previous 'US' KK still suffered from this.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
Not that I ever had this issue but if you are rooted you can install trickster mod and adjust colors
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
Nm
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
Actually, if you have not color corrected your displays with calibration equipment, then you have the issue on all of them, whether it be phone, tablet, laptop, or other. Your eye conditions itself very quickly to not notice this, but it is so. In my experience, based on a few dozen calibrations, laptops all seem to have a blue bias (some more than others), independently of the brand or quality of the screen, whereas desktop monitors all seem to suffer from a yellow bias. People whose equipment I calibrated, but unaware of how bad the issue was, were all quite shocked at the before and after results. FWIW, I am an amateur photographer, and one of the first things you learn outside technique is that you cannot correct a single picture until you have calibrated your screens. After all, how can you say it needs less yellow, when you are not sure the problem is with your screen, and not the picture?

Anyhow, phones and tablets have more varied issues though, and my LG G2 phone has a blue bias, while the G Pad has a yellow bias. Correcting them is tougher, but yes, I plan to use Trickster combined with SpyderGallery, and then compare with one of my calibrated screens (I use Spyder4Pro). If I find a decent profile, I'll share the values here.

-VZW LG G2 VS980
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fgcchevy:
Is update zip ready? Tia
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
Not really sure why these stock KK builds have had issues 3rd party launchers. I think I tried Go Launcher and it didn't have the icon issues, so maybe it's something the devs need to adjust in their app.

Uploading now.. should be up in the next hour or so.. Takes a while to upload on my slow 2 Mb up connection.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] NYCguy2020:

Weird.

My note 3 has excellent connection on 5ghz. Lg won't connect. Tried factory reset with no change. Maybe the modem is different and my router doesn't play nice.

Can you provide the modem from 20a . can try to flag it see if it makes a difference

I'm doing the full kk upgrade recovery option via the lg mobile support tool for the US version. [MENTION=3210378]id10terror[/MENTION] how can I manually dd the 4.2 aboot and manually dd recovery. I only want to change the partitions that need to be changed. I also want to use [MENTION=4557482]Drgravy[/MENTION]'s OTG twrp 2.7. For my g2 the process was fairly simple, but unclear of we need a modified recovery or if the commands would be the same here.

-VZW LG G2 VS980
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
You can use this script.. it will flash 10a ABOOT. Just replace the recovery.lok file with the version you want to flash.

Try rebooting your modem and routers? Mine works great on both 2.4 and 5ghz

I tried to flash the boot image I had for 20 a it Boyd to black screen so went back to the us 20 version. It can connect to 5ghz it seems but it is a much shower and weakerconnection than my phone. And won't connect where my phone has a150mbs connection.

If I try this modem and it is no better what would I need to restore from my chutent twrp backup to get me the 20 modem?

Oh and a big thanks for everything you have done for us gpad users! !!

Hey all. Anybody use the stock video player for movies? For some reason my movies do a small split second skip but I don't remember if 4.2.2 did it as well. Its like the playback needs to catch up to the audio. I tried MX player and it plays smooth there. I do like the stock player UI.

Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
Go into recovery and wipe the caches again. I had weird problems on build 20a with the stock player until i clears the caches again.

Let me say wow another build is out, I'm impressed!! I've been using my g pad more than my phone. The interface changes plus the screen tweaks have almost killed my all issues. I use SwiftKey in one-handed mode and LG needs to add that kind of options to this tablet. Now if they could start adding a stylus to their devices I'd buy more LG! ;) I like that LG is not going tablet crazy like samsung is.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
hm.. what problems did you have? i'll clear cache again but I think i did that already..lol. :confused:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
I have been using BS Player for a few years. When MX Player hesitated or choked on some films (on lesser-powered tablets), it came through. It doesn't hurt that it plays every format there is.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Has anyone noticed that after you run LG updates the LG keyboard crashes in landscape? Is there a fix?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
When I'd run the stock LG video player it would randomly register screen presses while watching something and changing the sound volume. Yes I wiped the dalvik cache and the regular cache before installing the rom, but it didn't go away till I wiped the caches again. I had rebooted the g pad a few before I decided to wipe the caches again, but each I'd launch the video player the problem would come back. I'm glad I didn't have to wipe the data and start fresh.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Motawa88:
thx
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
Changing the volume sounds like you are rubbing a finger on the right side of the screen or very close to it, probably while holding the tablet. It will register even if you do not touch, but just very close. The video player can increase or decrease the volume by swiping up and down on the right side of the screen while playing a video.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
I'm not sure if it is the US version of this rom but since switching from the Great Britain version to this one, my battery drain has gotten significantly worse. I used to be able to go on and tired night with the tablet asleep and maybe at most use one percent battery. Now I'm using about 5 percent battery every 3 hours which seems quite excessive. I have not installed any new apps are changed any settings that could explain the difference. Anybody else notice a significant battery drain the standby with this ROM?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hhhstonehhh:
BUG..? sometimes Gpad cant read External sd card
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
When I had the problem it would start randomly after I started playing a file and I could lay the tablet on a flat surface table/bed and it would do it without me physically touching the device. It has not happened since or I'd use my phone it take a video of it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ATGAdmin:
Just a heads up.

Busybox is not installed on

LG-V500_KOT49I.V50020a_Stock-BB-Rooted, nor on LG-V500_KOT49I.V50020B_US_Stock-BB-Rooted.

A quick trip to the playstore for busybox fixes it though ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
That's definitely not the case. The busybox script properly installs busybox and symlinks all it's tools. I have confirmed this several times and always test my zips before I release them.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ATGAdmin:
Just letting you know what happened twice on each ROM, that's four installs. Maybe I should call a Catholic priest for an exorcism? ;)

EDIT: Just had time to look at your script. You have it set to install busybox before extracting the system image, so anyone doing a complete wipe before installation, as I always do when installing a ROM will not have busybox installed. You might want to re-title your threads to "Upgrade" instead of "ROM" , or fix your script so it installs busybox, and sets permissions after the system image is extracted?

Just a suggestion ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] id10terror:
;) wrong again.. In the updater-script on line 114 is when busybox is actually installed. It executes a bash script which performs the install\symlink process. I think you're getting confused with the extraction to the /tmp directory and granting the busybox binary and install script rwx permissions earlier in the updater-script.

The updater does the following:

Extracts busybox binary to /tmp to be used for dd and other functions

Partition Images extracted

Partitions flashed

Dalvik\Cache wiped

BusyBox installed and symlinked

SU binary and SuperSu installed

Temporary files cleaned up

I appreciate your keenness to point out an error, but in this case you are mistaken. As you can see busybox and root are installed AFTER system image is flashed to partition.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ATGAdmin:
You're right, and I apologize for not looking further down the script. It still didn't explain why it doesn't install busybox if you do a complete wipe before install, so I looked further. Your script installed busybox before su, I just flip flopped the install of SU and Busybox in the script (as it should be) and it now installs busybox if you do a complete wipe before installing (tested and working on a clean wipe prior). It's attached so you can test it and use it if you want, or whatever ;)
