Are you kidding me? You mean there is no GPS chip in LG G Pad 8.3 GPE? I'm using stock firmware and google maps (offline area maps) + HERE we go maps (offline maps). They all work fine as GPS Navigation when I travel (no WiFi around). If this CM doesn't have a working GPS, then it is a deal breaker. :(
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] unpaiktable:
Apologies! It was my understanding that the tablet didn't have GPS capabilities to begin with. I then too installed HERE maps and realized it does indeed have a GPS sensor. When it comes to the CM build, I believe that location services are still not working. Unfortunately I don't own this particular tablet any more, I have upgraded to a SONY. Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
Guess we're not getting nougat huh.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
Why is this tablet not supported? Is such a good tablet. Good specs prey much a nexus device. Figured it would be one of the simple ones to mod
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] luigidk:
I agree - bummer. Also - as a GPE device - was expecting more from Google.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
I'm just as surprised that no one is developing ROMs for it. I would love 7.1 on this. ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] siopaor:
What was the latest version available with with CM for the V510? Looks like most recent files have been removed from the download link in original post.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] chrizt4adam:
I think the last build was cm-12.1-20151017-UNOFFICIAL-palman.zip but I can't find a mirror anywhere.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jbmatson:
I found the zip for the 20151017 build on my tablet, so I've uploaded it to my Google Drive for anyone who needs it:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4wb51nsphnILXhyeGxjYThMTXM/view?usp=sharing

I've also got an old gapps from around the same time that I assume still works if you have trouble with the newer builds. Just let me know and I'll put that up too.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Albert1208:
You save my life OMG
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
I'm not having any problem with downloading, so I suspect the problem might be on your particular device. Tell me how it goes when you get to test it. If you still have the problem, please provide a logcat at the point when the error occurs.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
My guess is that it is due to using a dirty flash where I kept data. No worries. Next time I will try a clean install.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Clean install fixed the problem. Should have in the first place!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Missed a step?

Have just done a wipe and installed the rom and gapps.

Email and contacts are not syncing. Also, trying to restore user apps and data with TiBu, but the app is just sitting there at 0% of the first app restored.

Did I miss a step?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
I would not restore data just app with tibu I actually setup separate folders to tibu different roms to. I have had issues restoring data from mismatched roms, I know it should be fine but it's not 100%.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
I was just about to update that flashing a recent version of SuperSu helped the TiBu restore issue, but I may have spoken too soon. The restore got past the first app (and data) but then it got stuck again restoring Xda free (of all things). I'll reboot and try it with just the apps, but somehow I think I'm going to get stuck again..

EDIT: So TiBu restore of apps only also hangs and I still don't have email or contacts synced. I did verify that sync is turned on.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Are you on TiBu 6.2.0.3 ?

I am sure I used it to restore some apps, will try later and confirm.

Also clean wipe system, data and both caches before install?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
OK, I can confirm I can backup and restore fine with titanium backup and also can send and receive email using Gmail and Hotmail including full calendar active syncing.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
I am on TiBu 6.2.0.3. I'll try another wipe and see how I make out.

I'm more concerned about the issues with contacts/email syncing than restoring apps.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Still no good. After a wipe, and installing the rom and the Lollipop gapps from the OP, syncing of existing contacts and existing gmail does not work. So TiBu has nothing to do with this problem.

I had tried the Jan 23 build and the Jan 25 build, and both exhibit the same problem for me. Any helpful suggestions on how to further troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Can you confirm you have WiFi working?

If so I would try a different gapps, I use pa-gapps (I personally use MINI MODULAR PACKAGE)

http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Wifi was definitely working. I'll try the pa-gapps and report back a bit later today. Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
To update from one build to another simply flash without wiping? Or?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Well, did a full wipe (system, data, both caches) installed the rom and pa-gapps package and.......the behavior is EXACTLY the same as before!! Syncing of contact and gmail data is not working :crying:. The ROM does appear to run very well on the device besides this issue.

The install goes fine, wifi is working fine, no other software is on the device EXCEPT for the mini modular gapps, and nandroid/tibu backup data on my SD card. Should I be ejecting the SD card while I install the CM ROM? That doesn't make sense, but neither does the rest of this. Once again, any suggestions. I'm going to let the device sit with CM on it for a bit longer in case there is some larger issue going on with sync, but I doubt that this is the case.

When I revert to AOSP stock Lollipop (which I've done twice in the last 2 days) sync of contacts/gmail and everything else works fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Crazy indeed, for giggles have you tried turning off, pull your ex SD card and reboot. Not sure what else to suggest, it is a v510 (gpe) and not a v500 right.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Definitely the GPE version of the tablet.

I unmounted the SD card, powered down, and pulled the SD card out. Then powered back up.

Still no change :crying:. I guess I'll keep experimenting with other gapps packages, but I'm not optimistic.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
I really want this to somehow work for you because it is so great to finally have a working CM on my v510 (thank you @aidfarh) , so really pulling rabbits out of my hat here but...

(maybe try opt three 1st)

1. to eliminate it being or not being gapps maybe try a flash with no gapps and use the native email

2. try this one (looks like cyanogen approved CM12 gapps)

http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/

3. will sound crazy but it is kinda what I did, install your stock lollipop get gmail working then dirty flash the CM12 over that (yes no wipes other than caches), again sounds crazy but who knows if the androidgods :angel: smile it might work and my initial flash was dirty and it has been fine (not sure if I wiped system or not I may have but you can experiment).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Theoretically for updating, no wipe is needed.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
So far I'm only seeing techinv reporting this problem. Does anyone else have the same problem with email and contacts syncing?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Thanks jk8260 for sticking with this and apologies to aidfarh, and others, for cluttering up this thread (a bit) with my issue.

In any case jk8260, tried option 3 and the android gods did not smile. I ended up with a blank screen with the time and wifi status showing in the the status bar and the back key (only) lit up on the nav bar. Hitting the back key did nothing. I tried a couple or reboots and a power cycle, but there was no change. So I'm back to AOSP for now, will try option 2 tomorrow and give an update.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] FER0X:
First off, thank you for the great work you are doing! It's much appreciated! I too am having issues with syncing. Unlike techinv, my Gmail is syncing fine, but my Google Play Music refuses to sync. I've tried the GApps in the OP, both minimum and full versions, as well as PA's Pico GApps with no change. I wiped before testing each GApps suite (front to back:laugh:). I also noticed that freshly downloaded apps don't appear in the app drawer until the launcher is force quit. This was the case for both Trebuchet and Google Now Launcher. Thanks again!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Indeed. No problems with flashing over older version. Thank you!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
I can't test Google Play Music sync since it is not supported in my country. If you can provide a logcat then maybe I can try to see what the problem is.

As for the second problem with the app drawer, are you using multi-user?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Mystery solved I just flashed the latest version and no sync for me either now.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Still testing mixed results
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] FER0X:
Ok, sounds good. I will try to pull a logcat later tonight. Do you want me to post it or email it to you? As for the app drawer, I am the only user on the device if that's what you're asking.

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Just attach the logcat in a post here.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Need clarification here. Are you saying that you were running the Jan 23 build without any problems and you're seeing sync issues after flashing the Jan 25 build?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
I was on Jan 23 (didn't realize there was Jan 25) flashed it and lost sync intermittently. Still testing various things as we speak. More soon.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
OK, first understand I use two email accounts Gmail and Hotmail exchange active sync. So when I first tested email issue I was on Jan 23 build and sent and received email and checked setting calendar dates between my v510 and phone all was fine. But I forgot I was using my Gmail app on v510 for Exchange active sync Hotmail. So I assumed it all worked. To make this short here is what I found...

On Jan 23 build... Using Gmail app only

Gmail - can receive but can't send email

Hotmail - send/receive fine

On Jan 23 build... Using Gmail app only

Gmail - No send/receive or sync

Hotmail - No send/receive or sync

On Jan 23 build using Gmail app for gmail and Nine exchange active sync for Hotmail.

Gmail - can receive but can't send email

Hotmail - send/receive fine

So bottom line is Gmail receive is OK but send is broken. Exchange active sync OK both ways.

Tried three different gapps same results. Plays store, google+ OK Gmail contacts and calendar broken, on exchange they work fine.

Done :) exhausted....
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Jk8260, I need to send you a beer (or whatever beverage you like) for this. It looks like your results echo mine. On the second batch of results that you listed, I think you meant Jan 25 build, correct?

In any case, without contacts and calendar working, I will have to hold off on using CM, even though I really want the speed and customizations.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Until it's solved I am now using the brand new Microsoft outlook app from play store that fully supports Gmail it's really nice, I can't go back to kk love lollidog too much.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

Also of course I turn off Gmail contact and calendar sync from Gmail since the outlook app handles it fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Interesting. It's always nice to have options. Will check it out.

Just to be sure, are you staying on the Jan 23 or Jan 25 build?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Yep staying on Jan 25 build other than sync it seems very nice and stable.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
I've uploaded a new build, dated 20150131.

It still has the Gmail sync problem, though. I'm puzzled why the 23 Jan build was ok, but the problem showed up in the later builds. There's no significant change in the device tree after 23 January.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Hmm, I discovered something interesting. If I disable Location, then Gmail sync works fine. Try disabling Location in Google Settings and reboot and see if Gmail sync works for you.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Aidfarh, nice find. I've flashed the newest build and the same mini-modular gapps that I've been playing with the past few days. I turned off location services, and gmail, contacts, play music, and calendar all synced up nicely! I'm currently restoring a tibu backup. Once I get to test a few of my apps, I'll report back further, but you helped eliminate a major obstacle in me using CM.

EDIT

Working fine. Only blips were that tibu would not restore my backup of the XDA app, so I reinstalled from play store, and my streaming video app from my cable TV provider gets stuck once I start viewing a program. Nav bar controls don't work once streaming begins, so I have to reboot the tablet to stop the stream or change channels.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Genius ! That is the key, I disabled google location, rebooted as you suggested and lightning fast Gmail sync, awesome. I tested this on 1-25 build and will flash latest 1-31 tomorrow but just wanted to test and share. Great catch...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Landscape nav bar unusable (far right of screen) on 1-31 with either dirty flash or clean flash just me? Restoring 1-25 is fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
I think I've seen that on the video streaming app from my cable TV provider (noted in my edit above). That is one of the few apps that I use in landscape mode. I'll move back to the 1-25 build and see if the problem goes away.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
This is occurring in the ROM itself and in three different launchers. On the plus side 1-25 build has been great with Google location turned off. All small prices to bring CM12 to this great device.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Yeah, I also noticed this. It's due to recent CM12 source code changes. It seems it's been fixed and I'll post a new build in a few hours.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] FER0X:
Can't post the log cat until I have posted 10 comments. I'll try to make relevant contributions and post it when I can
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] galaxys:
Did you try it with aidfarh recommendation to disable Location?

As for 10 posts, just hang out in the Off Topic forum! :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Looks like it's going to take a bit longer to get out a new build. I don't know what the CM team did but with latest synced sources my device won't even boot.:(
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Aidfarh, understood. Can I dirty flash Jan 25 on top of Jan 31?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
I would say do a backup, try it and restore if if does not work. Never heard of dirty flashing back a version or two but in theory might work. I would still wipe system and caches. You should always backup before flashing anything.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Build 20150204

New build uploaded, dated 20150204. The landscape navigation button is fixed.

I've also added exfat support, thanks to Sleekmason for some pointers. However, I've not tested it, since I don't have an exfat-formatted sdcard. Also, I've realised that usb otg storage is not working. I'll try to get that to work, hopefully soon.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Good stuff, new build running very smoothly. Decided to do a clean full flash for a new start.

Edit

Three hours later and all apps reinstalled and system is very crisp and smooth.

Still no GPS and location off fix still needed for Gmail but other than that really loving this build.

And thank God for the dark cyanogen boot ani my cat can finally come out from under the couch....

Thank you.

Screencast works! It sure hasn't with stock. I'm using the new build with my kernel and everything is lightning fast.

This has become my default system now.

Where is the setting for the battery saver?

And, does anybody know how to reverse the back and recents buttons?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:

Build 20150210

I've uploaded a new build, dated 20150210. However, I haven't gotten the chance to test it yet. So make sure you make a recovery backup before flashing.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Always willing to be a tester, have it loaded now with sleekmason's sleekcyan3 kernel at it is running very smoothly and stable so far.

Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] galaxys:
Just dirty flashed (rom, gapps, su, nowipes) and all seems good so far! Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Aidfarh, not asking for a full changelog, but any information on what's updated in this build would be appreciated.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] galaxys:
I have not tested these yet, but From the github it look's like GPS and USB fixes....

Update: just tested my location in Google map's and it was spot on! ;) (But look's like sync still doesn't work with it on)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Just guessing here but I always assume that they will encapsulate nearly the same as stock cyanogen builds change logs for a any given day. If I can find my link to that I can post it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Mainly I've synced the CM repos so whatever is updated in CM12 is reflected in this build. I've also added support for USB disk but it's still buggy. Other than that, just a few minor code clean-ups.

You can see the changes I've made here:

https://github.com/aidfarh/android_device_lge_palman/commits/cm-12.0

https://github.com/aidfarh/android_kernel_lge_palman/commits/cm-12.0
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Some elaboration on the current bugs:

USB disk works once when you plug it in using OTG cable. There's no notification but apps can access the disk. However, the disk doesn't show up in Storage Settings so you cannot unmount it. If you unplug the USB disk and then plug in the same disk or another disk the disk is not mounted unless you reboot.

Location Services/GPS still doesn't work. I can't find any useful information in the logs and have no idea what's wrong.

If anyone can give any ideas on how to fix the above bugs they would be very much appreciated.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
I am still seeing GPS issues ie... not working on stock cm12 in the forums for most devices here so it likely has more to do with them. I have no GPS problem on my 1+1 using darkobas aosp but not sure what he is doing different with his builds.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Maps works for me too but if you download GPS test you will likely see GPS is dead. I believe it's a wide spread cm12 issue.

Thanks for pointing that out. Reading through the thread it seems GPS is fixed in some custom kernels. I'll scour those kernel threads and see if I can find the fix.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll check it out.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
I would think this would have more to do with the ramdisk rather than the zImage. My lollipop Ramdisk is broken apart on github HERE.

for gps

is location working via google maps?

download an app for gps and look how many satellites you can find.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Gps is not working. Maps was using the location service off of towers. The GPS.conf in /system/etc may be the issue. The settings for the sensor needs to be the same for our device. Compare from stock.

Otg devices must have their own power source in order to work. Was this taken into account? Sounds like it could be a permissions issue in init.palman.rc, or maybe a fuse issue?

I've uploaded a new build, dated 20150219.

There's a problem with the xda download system, so I'm putting the new build on dev-host. Download from here.

I've been working at it, but still can't solve the gps and usb disk issues.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
The GPS issue is not due to the kernel. The sleekai lollipop kernel for stock works with CyanogenMod as well, and still no GPS. GPS definitely works on stock lollipop with the sleekai kernel. There could be however, something that needs to be added to the kernel for some Cyanogenmod requirement but I doubt it.

That being said, this sure is a stumper. I notice that clicking on the icon for location in the status bar does nothing as well.

Have you talked with any of the other ROM devs?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] galaxys:
Status bar Quick settings Location toggle works for me and I can use Google Maps (not GPS). I'm on airfarhs latest & tried with its stock kernel & your kernel cm5. It does take a few seconds to turn on (then as before Google sync doesn't work).

Airfarh could contact/pm [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] whom are very CM12 knowledgeable with their v500 roms.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
To test GPS, you could try installing SELinux mode changer and setting the Rom to permissive mode, just to test if there is a problem with the sec policy.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Tried this as well with no success. Another clue is that sync becomes disabled when location is enabled.
