A big thanks to Paper Wastage for trying to get this ROM working! We appreciate the hard work. :good::good::D:D

is anyone working on any other vk810 rom? with 4g working. this rom is a great start id say. thank for the first vk810 rom.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
I was wondering the same thing. I just bought my gpad 2 days ago still running stock. Is it pure cm11 without mods or LG features?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] paperWastage:
As op said, it's pure cm11, with some lg features ( no ir, knock off broken, knock on works)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] RPelham:
Knock Off will more than likely forever be broken as I'm pretty sure it is part of the LG Launcher. When changing Launchers, even on the official ROM, knock off seems to break.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
Is this a daily driver ? Coming from stock I should root, install twrp, backup n,, wipe then flash rom& gapps?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
I'm still running 4.2.2 I'm trying to root using kingo but the USB debug option isn't highlighted I can't turn it on.

I want to run cm11 I have the lte gpad
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] cobra7361:
In order for kingo to see ur device you have to select internet and then modem and make sure u have USB debugging selected and

Unknown source selected..

And in order to install twrp u will have to have adb on ur computer

Also with this ROM there is no 4g yet....just wifi
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
I totally forgot about adb I've been flashing Samsung for so long. Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
Is this rom stable?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I haven't tried it since it doesn't have GPS or LTE working. The last I read it's still a little unstable.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:

I don't understand twrp installation
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I flashed the ROM. I am unable to connect to my Google account, so email, calendar, etc. are not updating. I get an error about the wrong version of something but I'm not sure what it is referring to because I cannot see the entire message.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:

There is only one person working on this ROM - paperWastage. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
I'm use to flashing Samsung roms I'm rooted running 4.2.2 jb no custom recovery. I don't know how to install twrp cuz I don't know what or where terminal in located. If I ever get twrp installed and flash cm11 will this give me kit Katt? Is external SD supported? Is it stable enough to be a daily driver? I only us WiFi or Hotspot so 4G or knock won't matter. Thanks for any feedback
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
To answer your questions:

Installing TWRP - this thread - "terminal" is Command Prompt in Windows

CM11 is based on KitKat so yes, if you install CM11 on the vk810 you will have KitKat.

Yes, external SD is supported.

It is NOT stable enough to be a daily driver IMO. I had no luck getting to my Google account with it.

Rotation works, but to get back to portrait I must sleep my device.

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

You need to factory reset, then manually wipe system,data,cache,davlik. Then I format system. Then install ROM, install gapps, wipe cache, restart. You should be all good. Unless you don't understand which model gpad you have.

Thanks paperwastage works great except GPS/LTE , all worked my first try!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I know which gpad I have; the big VERIZON logo on the front is hard to miss. :p

I am giving it yet another shot right now. I don't see an option in TWRP to format system, though.

EDIT:

Still no luck. If I try to connect via Calendar, I get the "Couldn't sign in There was a problem communicating with Google servers" error. When I go to Settings => Google => p********d@gmail.com to see my sync settings, everything is checked but each item has a sync icon next to it. And nothing is syncing.

This is so frustrating. I just want CM11 on this damn tablet!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ibawanzingee:
It sounds like you're not aware of the fact that wifi and data do not work on this rom at all yet. At least that's why some of us haven't even bothered flashing it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
It sounds like you're not aware that WiFi DOES work on this ROM. Thank you for your snarky and useless comment!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lilmeanz:
I have been using this ROM on WiFi no issues for 3 days now
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I GOT IT WORKING!

I read some other posts about similar issues and the suggestion was to shut down, remove the SIM, and reboot. BAM! All my GApps started syncing. I shut down, replaced the SIM, rebooted, and I'm still working. I am getting an error on startup about Calendar, but it is syncing and working properly.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] CreativeEmbassy:

Yes I am sure it is vk810. Anything i install, it boots me back in TWRP.

Ive noticed that everytime I attempt to install, "no MD5 file found"
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I hope PaperWastage finds more time to devote to this. So far this is an excellent port and I'd love to see all the functionality of the vk810 hardware working in CM11.

Unfortunately, my vk810 suddenly stopped working. It won't take a charge nor turn on at all. I'm shipping it back to LG to have them work on it. In the meantime, I bought a v500 on eBay and have CM11 purring along on it. When I get the vk810 back, it's going to my girlfriend's son. Here's hoping that LG won't tell me I'm SOL because I rooted, replaced the recovery, and installed a custom ROM....
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Skizzy034:
That md5 thing is normal. If the Dev doesn't add the md5 to the zip, the recovery just skips the check.

You were not real clear about your issue so here is what i got for you i appologize if im off topic of your issue however your post needs clarification.

First you must unlock developer options and then enable usb debugging and then connect as if for a network using modem once prompted. makesure all drivers are installed for yor device on your computer and that adb is coming up correct in device manager

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] gg48gg:
Just wanted to say thanks for the development effort. My VK810 and I are hopeful.

To be honest, I just assumed the GPad from Verizon came with KitKat since it was so new and since there was a Google Play Edition. I've been Flashing ROMs and using Android for 4 years now on a half dozen devices, and am embarrassed I didn't verify that before purchase.

I just assumed unlockable bootloader, Google Play Edition, sweet device, LTE capable, company paying for it, easy decision. Disappointed in Verizon.

Once you have LTE working, I will be happy to help test, send logs, etc.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] R1150GSA:
Looked at my VK810 today and there's a message that the Verizon KitKat update is ready to install. I really wasn't expecting this since it sounded like they weren't going to be updating the VK810 GPad 8.3 (at least not for awhile). Nonetheless, I hit the update button.

Unfortunately, last week I installed TWRP using the method in this thread. Now I'm caught in a never-ending loop that keeps returning me to TWRP on every reboot.

Yes, I did nandroid backup before installing TWRP. Yes, I did try a restore (with cache, system & Dalvik wipes). But still no luck getting the tablet to open.

Is there any way to get back to stock recovery?
