[MENTION=3265523]slebit[/MENTION]: could you add the advanced reboot option under developper ? (reboot/soft reboot/recovery/bootloader).. not sure if it's easy to add this feature...

can't wait for your next built.. keep up the good work!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
You have it under Settings - Security - Advanced reboot.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
shame on me, I dint see it the first time.. thx for the quick reply :o
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vimesUK:
Thanks for building this, although I have yet to try it.

Is this built on a 4.2.2. base or a 4.4.2, just asking to avoid brightness issues.

Also is it compatible with either of the two available custom kernels, if people wanted to use them...?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
This is based on 4.2.2. Some people have problems with brightness if they use 4.4.2 based kernel with 4.2.2. I have actually never had any problems myself. But I guess some people might have.

The two compatible kernels will work, but might have some problems with brightness if you use 4.2.2 base. So if you would like to run one of these kernel, I would suggest that you use 4.4.2 base.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vimesUK:
Thanks for the reply.

I am already on a 4.4.2 base and so I would need to use a custom kernel if I wished to try out this ROM. Sometimes I wish that there was only one common base to build from, saves potential issues.

I have had the brightness issues, until it was found that the base files contribute to that problem, so I am wary of making sure prior to testing ROM's out etc.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] atlharp:
Running like a dream. Sweet. ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] :
Changing the base is just a matter of seconds...

Any ideas whether app to SD card work on this ROM? Mine always show storage full. Thanks you.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I have actually the same problem. I never put my apps on sd card, so I haven't noticed it before. Do you know if it worked on any other lollipop builds?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joseph168:
Maybe it related to cm12 bug. I tried infected ROM but still same :(
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vimesUK:
Yeah I know, thanks :)

I just wish that there was one common base.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
[MENTION=575567]vimesUK[/MENTION]: when LG release an official lollipop rom, we will all have the same base!

@ slebit: read couple of time that dev recommanded to format sdcard when you switch rom (cm/aosp, etc..) its maybe related?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
What do you mean it's related to? Do you mean that you can't move apps to sd card?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
New build is up. This build is compiled with Sabermod toolchain. I use sm-4.8 for ROM and sm-4-9 for kernel. I notice a great boost in performance. Due to this new toolchain, i highly recommend a full wipe. You might try without wiping. But if any problems occur, please wipe your device. I hope you enjoy it as much as i have for a couple of days. Enjoy!

Download: Removed due to some random reboots
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
I dont move app to sd card, just read it somewhere... example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57014954&postcount=16

Damn, changelog was promising, hope you can fix it.. we'll wait patiently ^^
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Dom182:
Hi all guys, what do you think about this rom despite of the stock one?

I'm on the KitKat all stock again (no root) and maybe it's time to unlock :) But before I would be sure about a good rom without bugs. I had this rom (kk version) on my Nexus 5 and was lovely.

Many thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] :
Then you should wait a few months longer. All lollipop custom roms (e.g. LS, CM) are at the beginning stages.:D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Dom182:
And a stable rom, better than the official one, also no-lollipop?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jasenko:
I think the ROM is great and so far very stable. Yes there were few bugs but no showstoppers for me so far. Comparing to stock, there is plenty or available space for all my stuff so "move to SD" not functioning yet is not a biggie.

And the latest move to CM theme engine means we can try all the cool themes. I will test this one tonight:

I got stuck at liquid boot animation after flashed 21 build. Any advice thanks you
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Full wipe?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joseph168:
Wiped system and dalvik.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I would suggest that you wipe data also. If it's not working after that I don't know. I made a full wipe before this build, and it's working fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
I've got a small bug too.. not small, just giant icons ;)

see attachement: first boot with huges icons.

last pic: I change launcher (google now launcher), icons are fine.

I did a "very clean flash":

On twrp 2.8.4.0: Wipe dalvik/cache + factory reset. Flash your rom, gapps (banks), supersu.

Reboot, setup is ok, just huge icon.

I change launcher with apex launcher: icon are fine.

2nd test (screenshoots):

reboot to recovery, format data yes, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset, reboot... same problem with the slimlauncher.

I've install google now launcher from market, icon are ok.

Previously, I had some bugs with slimlauncher (cant remove shorcut on launcher) but now its working in this built.

I'm just installing my apps, but this new version feel faster than the previous one, very nice.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Wow! Hehe, I totally missed that! I saw there was some commits for slim launcher. I guess there are some bugs to fix for slimrom team! :)

But I guess bugs are to expect. Lollipop is still in pretty early development. There are a lot happening right now with the source.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
eh eh, maybe a dirty flash+ juste wipe cache should be fine!!

I'm staying with this setup (built 21.01+ google now launcher) for a couple of days but i'll try next time previous built+dirty flash 21.01 to see if bugs appears.

thanks for this rom anyway, its fast!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
The bug with slimlauncher seems to be related to the screen size. I have the same problem with my Nexus 7 that the icons are really big. But with my LG G2 it's looking great. Weird...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
ok, next built will probably fix that (i'm looking a the liquidsmooth changelog but sometime its too technical)

Rom is fast, battery is good so far... no bug to report, thanks slebit!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I haven't seen any commits related to slimlauncher in a few days. But there have been a few other bugfixes and new features added. It will be awesome! But it may take a few days before I build a new one. I'm not feeling that great right now. But in a few days I will build a new one.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] atlharp:
No problem. Take it easy and get better. ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Dom182:

No need to task in every thread! Ask in the correct Q&A thread. And if you don't know what to do you should stay away from flashing and routing... Sorry.

First of all I flash since 5 years, and I flashed on 10 differents smartphone or tablet about. I'm not a modder or a teacher, but neither a stupid!

Second, even if anybody doesn't know what to do, can't learn?! So nobody would know modding!!! I can't listen things like these, it's really stupid.

Third, I'm really sorry if I ask same thing in different thread, but nobady answers "yes or no" to my question, when it is just what I'd like to know (not watch this thread, begin from this guide and so on).

Anyway I'm sorry for this.

I don't want to begin a war, if you can answer to my question I will be greatful to you, if not it's ok and we can finish here.

Sorry for my English too, I hope you manage to understand [emoji4]

I had to unlock the bootloader, downgrade to 20b and flash the TWRP Recovery. But I think you habe to inform yourself.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Dom182:
Maybe I had not inform myself enough, or maybe it's because of the english language that I'm able to understand less than I belive when I read the instructions ...but this is first time that I read it's possible to "unlock bootloader" for this tablet...o_O
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
thanks for the info of the incoming build, so much to read :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
New build is up. Since RRO still is pretty buggy. and that I can't get it to work. I have uploaded a version today with CM Theme Engine. Download link is in the first post. I have organized it in different folders, one with only CM Theme builds, and one with upcoming RRO builds and one with older builds. Changelog are also attached where download is. Enjoy!

I also wanted to add what LiquidSmooth team wrote:

"Flashing - Since features and changes are getting added and changed on every build, do not dirty flash your updates. Yes, we understand it takes a little more time to get everything all set up the way you like it, but trust me, you'll be much better off. Clean flash your updates. This includes the following.....

Use an up to date recovery

Boot to recovery

Perform a backup

Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system

Flash ROM

Flash gapps

Flash SuperSU (optional)

Reboot system

Profit"

Why I bring this up is because there is a lot happening right now. Sometimes it just won't work with a dirty flash. So please do these steps before updating to a newer build. And if you have any problems do a full wipe.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
thanks for compiling this new rom!!

I've try dirty flash... got bootloop :p

so back to recovery, wipe, factory reset, flash again.. and working fine ^^
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Yes, that is the case right now with lollipop. There is so much happening. Sometimes it does work, and sometime it doesn't. :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jasenko:
I'll stay away from any new builds for some time. I am running on the first CM12 theme engine build and apart from the SD card glitches, things are running more than fine. Very happy with the battery life, almost iPad like. I had the tablet in standby mode for about 24h yesterday and it only lost like 3%. And I love the ability to use all CM12 themes. I am considering switching to CM12 if LiquidSmooth guys decide to take it out.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Liquidsmooth will ditch CM Theme Engine eventually. Right now they do provide both. But that is only until RRO is working as it should.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jasenko:
Sorry to hear that. Seems like the guys are not sure which direction they want to take. I will probably switch to CM12 at some point to hopefully get some stability.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I was thinking that I should build a new one today. But after reading a bit in other threads I discovered that there are a lot of bugs right now... I guess I will wait a few days...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
different topic report problem with sd card mount-.Seem to be fix with the mani-kernel. so... do you built rom with custom kernel? :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I don't think so, at least not right now. You can always flash the kernel you want afterwards. But maybe I can incorporate the fix in stock kernel if it really is working.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] odjinan:
You probably read it already:

Because of some personal changes in my life, like work and stuff, I don't know how much time I will be able to work on this stuff anymore. I am also moving pretty soon, which is a lot of work.

then bank's gapps: gapps-L-minimal-signed-2-8-15.zip ( http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps )

and supersu 2.45. ( http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu )

Hi mate nice rom

But some bugs

Navigation button last app doesn't work

And rotate screen doesn't rotate
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I guess the first is a bug with liquidsmooth. The other one is solved by reboot tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tsirhcitna:
Is it normal that I can heard touch sound even if notifications sound and multimedia sound is at 0? And I have to turn off touch sound and screen lock sound? Also picking the photo for the profile from the quick notification screen doesn't work, you have to manually edit it in the contacts app.I know these are stupid problems, just wanted to tell you (I think they're cm or liquidsmooth bugs). Lollipop is beautiful anyway, so glad Google made this, I remember the (ugly) gingerbread days ;D Themed it with Rust cm12 theme, now I just need a kernel to see the boot animation, anybody has a suggestion?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
It's working for me. Have you accidentally locked you position? So that it doesn't rotate?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I am having some problems with my Linux installation. So I will probably have to reinstall and setting up my build environment again. It will probably take a few days before I can build a new one. But as the liquidsmooth team are preparing for a rebase on slim-caf, there haven't really changed anything since my last build.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I managed to fix my computer, so new CM Theme Engine build will be up in a couple of minutes. Not that much have changed in terms of features. But I have changed to official SaberMod toolchain for kernel and ROM, instead of uberutils toolchain. And I have also included a couple of other tweaks that you can see on my github. This version might be the best one so far. I am really happy with how this one is performing. Enjoy!

This is pretty much only a maintenance build. As the LiquidSmooth team are preparing for a rebase on Slim-Caf, there haven't happen that much since latest build.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GXGOW:
Rebooted it, but adaptive brightness still isn't working unfortunately. However, I've flashed a custom kernel (RedKernel), but I don't know for sure if that could be the cause.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Are you using 4.4.2 base with that kernel? This ROM is based on 4.2.2. If you want to use redkernel you should use 4.4.2 base, otherwise brightness issues might occur.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GXGOW:
4.4.2 stock was installed on this tab before I flashed this ROM, so I'm pretty sure it has the 4.4.2 base.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Then I don't now. It's hard for me to investigate if you not use stock kernel. For me it's working with stock kernel and 4.2.2 base.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GXGOW:
I'll reflash the stock kernel and see what happens.

EDIT: Low-brightness issue is back and adaptive brightness also isn't working. It's probably related to the 4.4.2 base, so I hope that flashing the 4.2.2 base could fix it.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
