Check a few posts back (#656). I've fixed the backup scripts and some installation issues that I've found in other available gapps packages.

There are two main gapps versions I posted, a minimal version with only the base files necessary, and one that also includes some of the basic apps like gmail. There is also a small separate installation package for Google calendar. Any Google apps that require replacing stock apps will be available separately in small packages.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vimesUK:
Thanks for that. Even though I have bought acalendar+ I do believe that it runs over that of Google's own and so I have just grabbed that as well.

Next time I will flash a ROM I'll give them a test.

Lost Root and Recovery

Hi All

Just installed the latest version dated 06/01/15 and have lost root and recovery. Tried terminal method to boot into recovery but no joy.

Initial boot screen reads secure booting error, cause :Device Unlock. so boot success, but I cannot access root neither will SuperSu (Pro version)

work reads (bineries not installed). HELP

Edit: Cannot get into recovery using the key method either. Just goes into Hard reset mode.

Stransky

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

Update.

Used Hard reset and this allowed me to go back into Recovery. Installed the Rom and Gapps (post 656)

and same result. No Root and unable to enter recovery and gave same result. Going back to CM11 until

I can find a sure way of maintaining Root and access to Recovery and SuperSu.

Great Rom BTW works very well but need the versatility that root gives.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] s1m4an:
Or just read through the thread and you'll find a post explaining to flash the latest supersu after you flash the rom, and you'll have root.

I've uploaded a new set of gapps packages with one small cleanup change. This removes a few left over directories upon initial installation.

Even though mine was bought in the UK, the US 20D works better than the UK 20B - the brightness remains consistent through boot and controllable properly.

Yes.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rshahzad17:
Mine is 20d from UK and exactly same stuff and not a single issue so far...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
The unmount problem could be related to the compiler (all roms made with sabermod). Do you have unmount problems using official cm12 with 4.2.2 bootloader? The official cm12 uses a more stable compiler.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rshahzad17:
No not at all, I hv had such issue with stock 4.4.2 with the same card I use, its 16 GB sandisk class 10.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Arterial Carotid:
SD card

Any way to solve this problem? The only firmware without this issue is stock 4.2.2 V10B. And I am still on that firmaware, but it's too old.

Haven't tried CM12 yet but I have unmount problem since updated to kk.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
I had problems too, but then I went back to 4.2.2 boot loader and official cm12 and no more problems.

I really am starting to think that things compiled with sabermod are causing strange things to happen sometimes.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rshahzad17:
I hv had similar issue with 4.4.2 on 20d but this rom doesn't have that issue.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
Every device is like a snowflake, but it sure seems like there is less trouble with the stable compiler.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:

It could be just your sdcard. Have you tried a different one?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
This helps indeed but battery drain is significant, going down by 45 degrees.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] domg73:
This depends on the kernel... looks like v500 kernels do not allow to use C2 state instead of C3...

It's up to kernel devs decide to allow it... this would reduce battery drain alot...

C3 is know to cause issues on many devices (not only gpad) and that's why it's usually disabled by default.

Huge screen usage

Hi Guys,

This - attached - is what I meant for huge battery drain. I've picked my tablet around 730pm with 95% battery, did a little browsing for about 1 hour, played about 30 minutes a game ("Tapped out") and when I finished I noticed (around 9.30 pm) that I had about 35% battery.

I don't have many apps installed (not even Facebook Messenger which has an insane memory/battery consumption) and I had my tablet with 50% brightness.

I've used to have almost the same usage that I did yesterday with my old Asus MemoPad HD7, and when I had it I only charged the battery in intervals of 3 days...

Any advices of what I can do here? I have the version of 20150104. I don't know if it's relevant but I bought this pad with stock 4.4.2, and never installed the "base 4.4.2" files.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] alfienoakes63:
I flashed the 20150104 version a while ago and everything was ok. Except I lost root - so I 've managed to flash aosp_v500-ota-eng.adrianomartins_20150106, and gapps, and superusersu and it seemed to go ok and I got root back.

But when I check the version number it says:-

kernel version: 3.4.104-aosp_lollipop_v2.0 adrianomartins@ubunto#7 Tue Jan 6 23:13:53 BRST 2015

OpenVPN

First of all, thanks for the ROM. It solved some of my problems I was experiencing with my tablet!:D

I have one question though, since I updated to this ROM I've got problems with OpenVPN and connecting to my server @ home. The exact same configuration profile did work on a KitKat ROM and on my Note 3, also running KitKat. But I am getting connection errors when trying to connect through this ROM. The error I am getting:

LZO-ASYM init swap=0 asym=0
EVENT:RESOLVE
Contacting x.x.x.x:1194 via UDP
EVENT: WAIT
Transport Error: socket_protect error (UDP)
Client terminated, restartin in 2....

It keeps spamming that same block over and over and OpenVPN reports zero incoming & outcoming bytes. Maybe somebody knows how to solve it or if it is even solvable at this very moment?

Thanks in advance!

Error in ROM installation

I am on software version V50020b. My tablet is rooted and I can get the TWRP recovery to work. But when I select the ROM for install, I get the error message that says "error executing updater binary in zip" followed by the ROM path. I have tried to install rom from both the internal memory and SD Card. I am using aosp_v500-ota-eng.adrianomartins_20150106.zip with 2.8 TWRP. Any help is appreciated.

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

And I have made it worse. I rebooted the tablet in TWRP without restoring the backup. Now it would not bootup because there is no OS and I don't know how to get to TWRP recovery without loading Android OS.

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

Instructions I wish I had as a Novice user

I was able to install this ROM and is very nice, but it took me a day for a process that should have taken less than an hour. Only reason is the lack of novice instructions (i believe). So here is what and how I did the install:

Files to download on your PC:

File 1: Download the file in step 3 of the OP in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698267

File 2: Download the file in current build of the OP in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2551499

File 3: Download the ROM (not GAPPS) in the OP in thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-android-5-0-lollipop-lrx21m-t2941207

File 4: Download superuser file from here http://download.chainfire.eu/641/Sup...erSU-v2.40.zip

File 5: Download latest GAPPS from the thread http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 There are several options. I used micro as it is pretty lean install without google crapware. this does not have camera or keyboard that you can download from the playstore.

Install instructions:

1. Make sure your tablet is rooted. My software version was 20b. It was 20d initially, but I downgraded it to 20b even though I believe this was a waste of time. Cannot say for sure.

2. Copy all files you downloaded, except file 1, to your tablet--internal memory or the SD Card--location does not matter.

3. Extract file 1 in a folder. Run file runme.bat

4. Your tablet will reboot. You will have LG logo with some sort of error message in the top left hand corner. This is a good thing. I kept turning my tablet off after this, but do not. In about 1-2 min TWRP will load. First thing is do a backup in case things go wrong. They did for me. Many times.

5. Update TWRP: once in the TWRP menu, click on install, from your internal memory, select file 2, which is the current build of TWRP.

6. Reboot tablet. My biggest trouble was how to get back into TWRP when I do this. May be there is a better way, I used hard reset using buttons. With your tablet turned off, press and hold volume down and the power button. When LG logo appears, let go of power button only for a moment, press volume up button and power button (again). So, now you should be holding three button--volume up and down and power. Factory hard reset option will appear. Press power button twice and TWRP will load again.

7. Click wipe and remove cache, delvik cache, and data in advanced. then do factory reset to remove existing OS.

8. Click on install and select three zip files in this order: file 3, file 4, and file 5.

9. Install and you should have the new ROM installed. Remember that the first boot will take about 5 minutes. If you have ANDROID written on your screen, magical things are about to happen.

Again, hope this helps someone. If this messes up someone's machine, I am not responsible. I am just trying to help.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sga999:
Thank you for these explicit instructions. I succeeded in getting this installed about a week ago, and your details would have helped! I have a couple of questions.

1. You said you downgraded from 20d to 20b, but you weren't sure if it was necessary. Did you do this because some threads seem to say that some versions of TWRP can't work with 20d? What were you checking to see whether you were on 20d or 20b?

2. For file 2, current build of TWRP, which one did you choose? There is a title in that thread that has a file below "Current Build",

v500-TWRP_2.8.0.0-recovery.zip. But after that, there is a section with "These builds are for the 4.4.2 bootloader", and it has a file called

4.4.2-v500-TWRP_2.8.0.0-recovery.zip. I attempted to understand something about 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 "base" in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762526. But I'm sorry to say that I can't quite figure out what this is all about. Do you how I can tell which bootloader I'm already on? I definitely had installed a 4.4.2 rom before going to this new lollipop rom, but I don't think that had anything to do with the bootloader itself.

Sorry if this is confusing! Thanks for any clarification.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sgoyal333:

Ans: Yes, there seems to be a lot of confusion if TWP works or not and/or the ROM fully works or not. I am not an expert but, considering there is no part of the old OS left, I do not think this matters much. But I could be wrong.

2. For file 2, current build of TWRP, which one did you choose? There is a title in that thread that has a file below "Current Build",

v500-TWRP_2.8.0.0-recovery.zip. But after that, there is a section with "These builds are for the 4.4.2 bootloader", and it has a file called

I definitely had installed a 4.4.2 rom before going to this new lollipop rom, but I don't think that had anything to do with the bootloader itself.

Ans: Bootloader seems to be a tech term for the software version that you can see in the about phone option (last one) in the settings app. It seems they imply that different TWRP work for different bootloaders. However, I found out that TWRP is more device specific than the bootloader specific. As long as you have V500 version of GPad, you would be okay flashing (or installing) the most current build of TWRP built for V500.

Hope this helps.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] CheopsChefren:
Just a stupid question. How long more or less will the first boot take, after having installed both the rom and gapps?

I didnt do any wiping.....
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
You are unable to see the version number of the bootloader in software -> about section. You just have to know which one was applied last. Some ROMs will update the bootloader and others will not. You just have to check the contents of the zip before you flash it, or flash the bootloader separately.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Feed Me:
Up to 10 minutes

Wiping is recommended if you come from another ROM ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] CheopsChefren:
Hello, I probably do something wrong.

When I connect my V500 to my PC, it doesnt recognize it at all. Before I flashed it with this ROM it worked well, but now it isn't recognized anymore. The PC doesnt even try to "load" the drivers for the V500, and they even dont show up with yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager on my pc. What can cause this?

I'm running windows 8.1 64 bit and the latest version of this ROM.

The standard ROM V500 got recognized on my PC when i connected my V500 via USB to the PC

I'm on this rom for a few days now and it's been a great, smooth experience so far, really enjoying it.

I was searching about customizing the nav bar and came across this ^post above^ and it's exactly how I feel, I was gonna post the same thing. On stock I preferred placing the back button on the right side and it's taking a little getting use to having it back on the left. I also prefer different icons for the nav buttons. Minor gripes though... but as I understand it, these can't be change at the moment. I guess that's a question but more of a statement. Looking forward to Xposed working on Lollipop.
