[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
I probably do. I was thinking M5 for G Pad may still come but it's probably to late now. I'll wait to see if M6 appears before trying M4 now. M4 will be 2 months old by that point :-|

I heard that. Thankfully I prefer using the original remote than a phone or tablet.

Ah so backing up your stock recovery and stock image are two different things?

Thanks. Will do.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibzzz:
Hey, been runnig the M4 release for the last month, got an auto update to the m5, which ive been running for the last few weeks, been stable, no problems so far, no idea why the release isnt listed on the cyanogen site.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruibing:
You usually override the stock recovery with TWRP (or CWM) before you reboot to recovery to backup then flash over your stock rom. In other words, you are backing up your stock rom through TWRP as your recovery, you've already lost your stock recovery. When you restore your stock rom, you will still have TWRP as your recovery. It may cause an issue if you try to install a future LG OTA update.

On the other hand, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can use stock recovery backups from other users.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Thanks. That's great news. I may still wait for M6 now, not being long away now though. Definitely good to read though.

And I can use Flashify instead of TWRP or CWM? Is Flashify stable/easy to use? Thanks again.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Could you let me know if you've had any problems with either M4 or M5 in these areas? -

1. Wireless

2. Bluetooth

3. GPS

4. Crashing

5. Slowness

5. Random Reboots

Thanks

p.s - Thanks for the screenshots. It's great to see the Multi-task button present and correct. I'm always using it and holding down Home is such a pain.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibzzz:
Hey, no problems with wifi, I run Spotify with a set of bluetooth speakers off into problems, also no crashes or random reboots. I think it's def faster than stock rom and yes the standard buttons are sooo much better, but I think it's perceptibly slower compared to the nex 5, doesn't bother me though, il try post a benchmark later. Also flashify works great, it's not a substitute for Cwm or twrp, just let's you send and queue commands to recovery from an app, so u still need a custom recovery with it.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibzzz:
Antutu on cm11 m5, no other mods. looks pretty good! Interested to see the difference with stock rom? Could anyone post stock? Cheers!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Great stuff. Thank you again. I can wait a wee while longer for M6 now but will definitely be "upgrading".

Are you running AnTuTu 4.4? Did you restart the G Pad before you ran the test? (I did). As oddly my LG G Pad 8.3 (UK Wifi Only model) running Android 4.4.2 OTA from LG (no mod/root or anything) is higher :confused: -

p.s - I'd expect the Nexus 5 to be faster, it's got a newer generation Snapdragon CPU.

Yep antutu 4.4, consistently get 25200's, not much higher, even after a reboot run, interesting that stock scores higher!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Now CM11 M6 is out, I have a few questions please:

1. Should I first install Flashify to backup my Stock Recovery?

2. If so, where do I find Flashify?

3. Then ClockworkMod Recovery?

4. Then perform a Nandroid backup using ClockworkMod Recovery?

5. If I did want to Restore my Original Stock ROM, is it simply a case of going into Recovery and restoring it?

I want to be sure I can revert back to exactly how my LG G Pad is now before installing CM11 M6. If I end up doing this, I'm overly bothered if I need to Factory Reset after/before restoring the stock image though.

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruibing:
1) Always good idea to backup everything. If you backup your stock recovery before installing a new recovery image, it makes going back to full stock easier.

2) It's on the app store.

3) I don't think CWM supports this tablet anymore. Use TWRP 2.7.0.1

4) Yes, backup your system, data, and boot, then do a factory reset (in TWRP), and then flash the new rom.

5) Yes. Then if you want to restore the stock recovery (if you backed it up), do it through flashify.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Here's the exact process I went through (I posted it somewhere awhile ago). Keep in mind I came from stock 4.2.2. If you come from stock 4.4.2, you need to use the ioroot method to root.

0) Download custom rom, twrp, and gapps to SD card

1) Rooted it using Kingo Android Root

2) Installed flashify

3) Backed up stock recovery using flashify

4) Flashed TWRP recovery using flashify

5) Rebooted to recovery

6) Backed up boot, system, and data

8) Wipe data, cache, etc (factory reset)

7) Flashed custom rom then gapps

9) Wipe cache

10) Reboot

Restore

0) Reboot to recovery

1) If you want to backup your custom rom, back up boot, system, and data

2) Restore boot, system, and data from your stock backup

3) Wipe cache

4) Reboot

5) If you want to restore stock recovery, restore using flashify

6) If you want to unroot, either use the root tool or flash back to stock 4.2.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51466025)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Firstly thanks for such a detailed and helpful post.

This is Flashify right? - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

Yes I've upgraded my G Pad OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, so noted thanks. Do you have to root the G Pad? This guide doesn't mention it:

http://true-android.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/update-lg-g-pad-83-v500-to-android-442.html

It even says: "NOTE: Root is turned off by default in CM ROMs". Although I see I'd need to root for Flashify anyway.

It's really that simple?

Thanks again.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruibing:
That's flashify.

You have to be rooted in order to use flashify and flash recovery.

I believe you can enable it from CM11 from developer options.

I may be wrong on the unrooting, especially for this tablet. I thought I did a factory reset once for something else and it lost root. I would try using the rooting tool, they usually have an unroot option. Otherwise, use LG's tool to flash a 4.2.2 stock kdz. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51466025.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Ah thanks. Oddly that guide I posted doesn't mention that :-|

A few questions regarding the steps please:

I presume I follow the instructions here to install IORoot, under the DIRECTIONS section? - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703825

1. Do I follow the instructions under the section "If you are on the 4.4.2 OTA this is the build you want:" in this link here? - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2551499

2. It says to also follow the instructions in STEP 3 here if you don't yet have TWRP installed? - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698267.

3. Is that correct? My LG G Pad is a UK Wifi only edition running 4.4.2 OTA remember.

4. I presume it's okay to use TWRP 2.7.0.1? I've read I need TWRP 2.6.3.1 for the LG G Pad (or does that refer to the G Pad running 4.2.2?).

Sorry it's getting a little confusing. Thanks again.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Ah sorry it looks like you've answered my questions above with this link earlier on, which is basically what I've said above is correct.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruibing:
I didn't go through stock 4.4.2, so this is just guess work based on some research I did back then.

1) Root with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703825

2) Install flashify and backup stock recovery

3) Install TWRP using step 3 in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698267

4) Update TWRP to 2.7.0.1 to resolve the dimming issue with the "4.4.2-v500-TWRP_2.7.0.1-recovery.zip" file in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2551499. You can either flash it in recovery or use flashify.

5) Good to go
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
I've finally got around to Rooting my G Pad and installing TWRP 2.7.0.1 (both installed perfectly) BUT forgot to install Flashify and backup my Stock Recovery before I installed TWRP.

Is there any way to restore the Stock LG G Pad 8.3 Recovery and/or download it from somewhere?

I once rooted my old phone (HTC Desire) and after doing this could no longer install OTA updates (cannot remember if I installed a new Recovery too). I doubt I'll ever be reverting back to the G Pad Stock image but just in case. I'll be making sure I backup the Stock Boot, System and Data still. Which are much more important anyway.

It's taken me this long to get this far I was about to install CM11 M6 but am finally going to wait for M7 before installing that. With any luck it should appear in a few days now anyway.

Thanks.

p.s - Glad I installed TWRP 2.7.0.1. The TWRP 2.7.0.0 dimming bug is rather disconcerting, it looks like it's crashed.

[Verizon LG G2] pwshadow:
Is there a way to enable ART on stock rooted 24a via build.prop? If so what do we need to change?
[Verizon LG G2] liteon163:
Yeah, I've been scouring the web for this as well. I can't even find a decent guide to what all of the build.prop parts do, much less where ART is hiding.

Anyone out there know anything about this? I hope we don't have to wait for Android L to do this, because you know Verizon will be the last carrier to allow it.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
I don't think all the LG legacy apps are compliant with ART, specifically quick remote, something to consider if you use it.
[Verizon LG G2] liteon163:
Yeah, there's that... Maybe we're better off waiting until LG updates the G2 to L, as ART will be the default.

And hopefully LG will use that as an opportunity to update their own apps.
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that Rovo figures out how to enable xposed on ART, I know I won't be updating until that happens. Xposed is too d*mn useful...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00114:
Hello everybody,

so now this is my first posting.

I took an advantage on ebay to get me a near new I9000 for a low price. I was interested to see how Android smartphones

work, what is inside and how to customize.

In between time and after reading much about ROM's and Kernels and so on i decided to go for the CyanogenMod ROM by pawitp.

When i finally got my I9000 to my surprise it was already rooted and had a CM11 flavor onboard.

So i took the chance and made a backup and did a full wipe etc.. and got the latest Nightly (2014_04_22) and the gaaps up

and running quite nicely.

No problems so far.

Everything is fine except the in-call volume on the handset.

Speaker volume and headset volume seem quite o.k. and are manageable through DSP Manager .

However, the earpiece volume is maxed-out but still much lower than on my stock S3 mini, which was given to me by my employer.

Stock and beyond any rooting or so...understandable?

So i read a lot and tried various apps (one after the other) (Voodoo sound, Volume+ to name two) as recommended here.

No avail. Volume of the earpiece seems to be quite a different beast.

What i did not try, and hopefully will not have to, are Meltus Volume hacks or manipulating values by the service codes.

So, does anybody have an idea if the CM11 will get around this problem one day or the other?

I do not want to use another ROM nor do i feel i want another Kernel to mix with.

Perhaps this thread is obsolete, so please put me into the right direction if so.

Or, maybe someone who is allowed to do so can transport this Q into the ROM thread of pawitp.

Thank you all for you attention and have a nice day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
It might be the highest limit to the i9000 (It's an old phone, at least appreciate it for even running). However, I suggest you do change your ROM once, just to check if it is a problem with your ROM. If you do change, I suggest trying Paranoid Android or OmniROM. At times, the Kernel might also make a change. If again you do want to change your Kernel, I suggest Semaphore 3.4.3 or Mackay Kernel

Hit Thanks if I helped!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00114:
Thank you for the answer.

Sure: You are right it is an "old" phone.

And i appreciate the work of the volunteers to keep it up and running.

Hopefully i will find the time during the next days to follow your advice.

Maybe i will even try to go back to stock and check how the phone behaves in it's original environment.

At the moment i am puzzled by another problem. I miss FM radio so much.

Seems as if this feature is missing in a whole lot of ROMs because of massive changes of the "ekosystem" to put it in my words.

But this is not the thread for that. I have to read and learn a lot.

Again, thank you.

Regards,

Frank
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
About the Radio thing, I think you can download another Radio app like this one. If that doesn't work, I'm guessing then Radio might be disabled in your ROM. Semaphore has the option of enabling or disabling FM Radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00114:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gokulbalram:
Any news yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00114:
Yes.

I went back to the stable release CM10.2 .

Somewhere on the internet i found a free beta from Spirit2 and installed it just for a test.

It did not run smooth but i could grab FM and listen by speaker and headphones.

What made me nervous is the "speaker damage" disclaimer...

As for the in-call volume: With 10.2 it seems to be louder.

Headphones and speaker are fine but earpiece (or handset?) still is a bit quiet for to use in noisy environments.

But anyway. Before taking further action i test a while.

I want to use this phone as a private phone when i am on commissioning jobs. I often work at industrial sites and since i am not allowed

to make any private calls off my companies' S3 mini i thought it was a good idea to carry a relatively cheap and reliable smartphone

with me.

Besides the academical aspect to know what makes a smartphone work i want a useful and stable operating system without any bloatware.

I will keep in touch with the CM11 thread and from time to time check if they finally achieve a stable release.

Maybe a shoot a second SGS off ebay just to look after OMNI ROM as you suggested. :laugh:

By now i will stay with the CM10.2 and see if it is stable.

And yes, i am going to root my wifes's Xperia Pro :cool:

Thanks again for your attention!
