I'm looking for a stock 4.4.4 or 5.0 rom. No CM, just straight aosp compile for vk810 4g.

Willing to pay for it.

Also willing to place bounty for someone to get Cast Screen working with Chromecast on Cyanogenmod 11 or 12.

I'm working with paperWastage on taking over this project. As it stands, I plan on continuing with CM11. I'm not ready to jump to CM12 yet, mainly because I use xposed framework and need a few things that it provides. My first goal is to bring the existing CM11 build up to ver. 4.4.4. The next major goal is going to be enabling 4G.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] spiceditup:
thanks for the update. i'll be on a lookout for future updates.

[MENTION=3580585]N00b-un-2[/MENTION], no pressure but looking forward to trying anything. Even de-bloated, this tablet is kinda sluggish and it would be nice to try CM in case it would run faster. I don't have a great need for the mobile data on it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] razgriz8426:
I also think a kernel with overclocking would be great. Not for exteme overclocking, but at least to get it to 1.7 like the other models.

As I had mentioned in my prior post, I am taking over this project for paperWastage. Here is my first build. Aside from the update to Android 4.4.4, there are no major changes. Anything that didn't work before (4G, IR sensor) still doesn't work. I'll begin working on getting mobile data working soon.

As usual, flash in recovery. Since this is a version upgrade, you will need to do a full system wipe and factory reset or else it will not boot after flashing.

Flash Gapps as usual. Please contact me with any found bugs

Which version of TWRP are you using? You need to install drgravy's 2.8.0.2 (loki flash 2.8.0.1 and then flash 2.8.0.2 in recovery like normal). Also, you need to do a full wipe of everything to install this ROM. that includes system, boot, cache, data... Just doing a standard factory reset is not sufficient when changing versions of Android.

which ROM are you running and which version of GAPPS? If you are running my CM11 build, the standard CM Gapps is what you need. If you are running the stock firmware, you need to flash PA Gapps Stock or Modular package

It's working great. I love it! The tablet's much more responsive now like it should be. I'll donate too, I just have to wait until February to do it.

Thank you!

I'm guessing the light sensor either isn't working or the values need adjusted (can adjust in settings) because auto brightness is extremely dim. Manual adjustment works great, though.

This isn't a big deal to me but just wanted to report, the cLock widgets never display the weather. You can configure it but as soon as you're done configuring the widget, it only displays the date and time.

Like I said, not really a priority for me, but just wanted to let you know. Also have to re-test for a couple of small issues I'm having - might be my fault.

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
This is because mobile data and GPS are not enabled (fully/properly) yet (device can "see" them, but I haven't sorted out the libs and kernel stuff yet), and since there's no way to set it to wifi only for location like you can on a device that has no mobile connection, apps that rely on mobile data or GPS for location info will not work.

It's on the to do list...;)

Oh, I see - I didn't realize GPS wasn't working fully. :) Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mitchbaria:
When you sort the radio and other issues will the updates be sent to the device as nightlies or just continue add builds to this thread? I'm dying to have this rom go mobile! Thanks again for taking up this project.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I could be wrong (please correct me if I am) but I'm guessing that only official CyanogenMods can get OTAs, at least through CWM's system.

Personally, I think this build should be added to the official CWM builds if they're not going to have their own for the VK810, although it doesn't matter to me one way or another.

Back on the HTC Droid Eris, we users championed (I think it was) @workshed's unofficial build of CyanogenMod v7 (again, I think) to be qualified as the official build, and it became so eventually.

[MENTION=3580585]N00b-un-2[/MENTION], you've probably already observed this but just for the record, when I have auto-brightness set to off and it's set to maximum and I reboot, initially the screen is bright but you can notice it getting steadily dimmer and dimmer as you watch, at least after unlocking. Screen touches and manually adjusting the brightness slider don't change anything. If you lock the screen and re-unlock it, then brightness is again restored to normal.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mitchbaria:
Your probably right but,,I've noticed on my one max that I'm getting the nightlies direct on the phone and flyhalf205 had just posted the original cm11 build. It seems like no time at all i discovered under the "settings-about phone" the "cyanogenmod update" section was working to check and install new nightlies,,i don't know how he made that jump? Anyway I'm just thrilled to see this development.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
the only way that that would ever happen is if CyanogenMod picked up the ROM as official. The built in update functionality is designed for officially supported devices. It's my understanding that they won't even considering accepting an unofficial ROM unless things are more or less 100% functional and don't cause any conflicts with existing device trees. As it stands, this build piggy backs off of the V500 device tree (which is officially supported) but changes some configs. Until I take the time to properly port the device tree and rebuild, this will be a hacky unofficial ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
I began working on porting CM12 as well and almost immediately I discovered that I have a very LONG road ahead of me. The way that the git repo is set up, the device tree of the VK810 doesn't really exist, because the way you're supposed to start a port (by pulling the boot.img from the original device firmware and extracting the kernel and configuration files) is not how it was done. Basically the original developer started by pulling in the V500 sources and then making a fake device tree for the VK810 that just points to the V500. And not even the official CyanogenMod V500 device tree. While they share quite a bit of similar hardware, some notable differences between the two are the presence of GPS, 4G modem and a different power controller (hence all of those things not working properly). What I need to do immediately is to make a new build of CM11 using only the mainline CM11 V500 device tree and then port the entire device tree for the V500 over to the VK810 (properly, not the hackish way it's done now) and then I need to get my hands on the LG source code for the kernel and device tree and start properly porting things using a complete and correct device tree. The only other option would be to research what chipsets those non-functioning devices use, figure out which android tablets/phones do have them (and have already been ported to CyanogenMod) and patch in those device files into the existing VK810 device tree, kernel configs etc.

That being said, I take encouragement from the fact that I have an 80-85% functional ROM as it stands. With any luck, there may even be a similar LG tablet that has the same 4G modem, but it's going to take some time.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] paperWastage:
whoops...

well, the hardware core was similar enough (with the exception modem/cpu-binning), so I did it the devicetree way.. common core with some differences

the kernel is indeed a hack... no idea what's the proper way to do a kernel bring up.. maybe you're supposed to identify the qualcomm kernel root version, then go from there?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mitchbaria:
My hats off to both of you guys....anyway to stop the daily attempts by Verizon to send some kind of update? I'm rooted and using the new CMrecovery. I thought after rooting they'd wouldn't send out anymore OTA updates?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! That question has nothing to do with this non-stock ROM - you should ask questions like this in the Q&A section. I didn't do a search in these sections and since I'm currently running this ROM, not stock, I can't check if this applies but maybe this will help http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2832917.

Thanks...You are so right...bad form on my part...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
Please don't take that as criticism. I'm merely pointing out that while we do have a mostly functional ROM, in order to fix the remaining issues like GPS and Modem, a complete rebuild of the kernel from source will be required, either that or reverse engineering the current configuration and figuring out what drivers are needed and how to inject them into the existing device tree, configure the software to use them, etc. It's going to be a lot of work, and to be honest at this point I'm not 100% sure what all that is going to entail.

as for building an android kernel, you have to remember that despite all of it's differences, it's still just Linux, built with ONLY the kernel modules (drivers) needed by the hardware it's running on. I used to have a netbook that ran awfully slow on a standard Linux install, but after compiling the kernel using a custom config that only included the drivers for the exact hardware I was running, I was able to substantially improve the netbook's performance. On a full fledged desktop with CPU, RAM and storage to spare this doesn't matter much, but on a device with limited resources like android phones, since the kernel is loaded entirely into RAM, this can have a huge impact on overall performance, even on higher end devices with multiple cores and decent amounts of memory. The tradeoff there is that you lose plug'n'play that we have come to expect from computers. We expect every device to just work when we plug it in, or at least after installing the vendor's software. On Android, it's not that simple.

That being said, There is one crucial difference between a traditional Linux kernel and the Android kernel, and that is that in most cases you can still add drivers (*.so files) to a compiled kernel and force the new drivers to be loaded, whereas on Android, the kernel is a single binary blob and there is no "easy" way to add drivers without access to the full source code from the original ROM and a full recompile with the proper kernel configs.

Long story short, I am working on it. No ETA on when I finish it

EDIT:

It occurred to me just now that when you look up the system information on this tablet, it says baseband unknown. I still need to figure out the modem/kernel stuff, but I'm willing to bet that the modem.img (radio, baseband, whatever you want to call it) ALSO needs to be flashed. Since a full system wipe is required in order to flash my ROM, is it possible that there is no modem.img since the V500 doesn't have one either? so the question now is how to go about extracting the modem.img from a .kdz? Or possibly pulling it from a tablet running official firmware.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That was very educational, thank you. I'm very techie but even though I've toyed with programming / compiling for over 30 years, I've never had the patience or drive so far to go the distance on any platform I've owned.

Might be easier to extract the modem from a nandroid, or might not even need extracting if backed up with no compression. Going to test this...

Edit: nevermind, don't know why I thought I had a nandroid of the modem. I know I recently noticed but didn't read a google search result having to do with extracting a KDZ on the PC.

Edit 2: when I restored the TWRP nandroid of stock the baseband is listed, and the nandroid doesn't include the modem so the modem (as would be normal and expected) must be still there under CM11 too.

Question: WIFI doesn't use the modem?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TheForceUnleashed:
I was wondering about the kernel situation myself. I've made the device tree independently for the altev, and all is well except some kernel errors I'm getting (mostly syntax such as issues with the static and non-static declarations) which I have appeared to fix but I'm getting linker errors (which is probably on CM's end)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
No, the wlan is a separate kernel module. One interesting thing I ran into very early in the process of porting lollipop is that you select what type of device you are developing for, ie; phone, watch, WiFi only tablet or tablet with data. This is one of the reasons I am convinced that a complete rebuild from the ground up is going to be necessary.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TheForceUnleashed:
The N7 LTE uses the tablet wifionly config, and I found that the previous init used did NOT set the correct permissions for the radio/modem.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] N00b-un-2:
how did you go about creating the device tree? You may have done the next step I need to do which is to extract an official firmware from a KDZ file and then decompile a boot.img. It's basically the first thing that needs to happen with any port. With any luck, creating a proper device tree, it shouldn't be too hard to diff the created one with the existing V500 device tree and fill in the gaps ala "Jurassic Park". It seems to me that abandoning the current device tree and creating a full and complete device tree incorporating the correct parts from the V500 and the new parts from a heretofore unknown device tree specific to the VK810 is going to be the only way to progress.

I'm pretty good with compiling and figuring out errors and such. I've built LFS (Linux From Scratch) as well as compiling custom kernels (on Linux mind you) but the concepts are the same. This is my first attempt at porting a ROM so any help I can get is appreciated.

I'm going to be really really busy for the next two weeks or so between my job and the National Guard so I won't have any time to work on this for a while.

you should be able to find a stock kernel / modem image.... I used the ramdisk info pulled from these kernels for the cm11 kernel build

I don't think it's something to do with a missing modem.img (maybe it has something to do with kernel/ROM talking to the modem.img firmware)

in TWRP, I don't think my stock ROM backups include the modem.... when you go from CM11 back to a stock rom TWRP backup, modem/LTE works again
