The md5 I have after download is 7f0c634124fe0b40c35dad8e9047c03a

Can anyone else confirm? I just confirmed it from the other thread...
[G Pad 8.3 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Will I still receive any official ota updates after I flash this kdz (if there'll even be any in future)? Say like minor updates and bugs fixes?
[G Pad 8.3 General] deepongi:
yep, its official firmware.

regards.
[G Pad 8.3 General] derekk75j:
First impression after update? Does It worth?
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
If you are still running the official stock before lollipop it is a definite improvement, however LG should be releasing the actual official release here sooner (starts trying not to laugh) or later.

Oh who am I kidding, we aren't seeing the official update until fall here in the states for the V500.

LG's non phone updates are difficult to forecast to say the least. They seem to be primarily focusing on their phones (G2, G3 and now the G4) the tablet business appears to be an afterthought.

The QPair stuff seems to finally be working for me after testing this weekend. In previous situations it could not handle disconnections and reconnections very well. Now that both devices are running lollipop and the latest version of QPair things seem to be working better... In addition my problem with SDCard's perpetually unmounting on stock 4.4.2 appears to have gone away with lollipop. My problem after a long amount of research, only occurred when the pad sleeps in a certain way. I do not have to root and disable a certain sleep mode anymore with the new release (so far with one week of testing the Korean v500 release).
[G Pad 8.3 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Can u be more precise about the issue? I didn't understand what you're trying to say.

I'm gonna update with the Korean version as I can no longer wait for the update, but time is preventing me :(
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
There is a thread about it.... Basically the sdcard starts unmounting uncontrollably. It is now (as of this evening) confirmed to still be present in the Korean release. Which means as before I will avoid the LG built kernel... If you want you can monitor your tablet with the app called sdcard monitor by Ahmed Moharram in the play store. If you get bad removals without rebooting your tablet you have the problem.

The thread that I was thinking of is linked below, and other threads/posts are referenced in my post in that thread... I find that running certain roms or kernels avoids the issue completely which really bothers me since it means that the devs know this tablet better than LG actually does... I know it isn't a hardware problem since the 4.2.2 original release of the software for this tablet does not exhibit the issue...

Thread here:

[G Pad 8.3 General] Fullmetal Jun:
I thought the notification names and related were changed to English default in this rom, but it isn't.

There's a qvoice app which displays everything in Korean. What's that?

Better battery life yes, but takes time to set up again!!;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Chestanuky:
can it be dirty install?

Can this rom be dirty install without problems? Much obliged for your intention and answer.
[G Pad 8.3 General] :
Dirty install over what? Not over a KitKat ROM.

[G Pad 8.3 General] Reno_79:
If I were to flash this over my existing rom (stock 4.4.2) I'm guessing I'm going to lose all my old data?

Yes. Backup internal memory.

I used LG Backup tool on the tablet to backup, then installed V50030a, all my datas were automatically restored :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Cappelletti:
Didn't work for me.

The .kdz is flashed. The phone reboots. A korean language screen appears, like the updating apps screen. Then it reboots. Boots the system and the screen alternates between a blank screen and one with the virtual buttons on. But it does not respond.

Tried the two flash methods. And also a hard reset.

Any idea?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Chestanuky:
did you do a CSE Flash or Normal Flash? Normal flash is not recommended as yo can get boot loop when flashing ROM that differ from current ROM on your phone or MOD ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 General] fax11:
I used this method :

It worked well
[G Pad 8.3 General] Cappelletti:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanderN:
Hello everyone!

I have a quick question: why do all the reviews talk about 6+ hours of screen on time in "real-life usage conditions" while my M8 only seems to get around half of that? I'm usually down to 10% when my screen on time is 3,5h or somewhere around that depending on what I was using it for. Do these reviewers turn all the connectivity off? Or are they in airplane mode or something? Brightness all the way down? Mine is on wifi almost 100% of the time, google now and location reporting and such enabled. I know I can turn these off to get better battery life, but can you still call it a "smart" phone, if it doesn't even know where you are? It takes away all context awareness applications.

This isn't limited to my M8, I saw this trend on all the phones I've owned, so here's the main question: do I have bad luck and are the batteries in my phones always bad ones? Or am I using them different than those reviewers? (I mostly text, use facebook messenger and browse the web)

Looking forward to hear about your answers!

Note: I know there are a lot of battery life threads, but I thought this would make more sense in it's own thread.

I'm running the latest HTC Stock firmware (5.0.2).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic_garden:
Google Now eats battery for breakfast. Even with syncing all my possible accounts (eMail, Google, WhatsApp, Threema, etc.) and having WiFi or 3G usage lots of times, Google Now (and especially in High accuracy-mode) is still #1 battery consumer. Did you have a look inside your battery usage using some tool like GSAM Battery Monitor?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanderN:
Yes, i am regularly checking gsam, but the kernel and system apps seem to be eating the battery the most. Screenshot attached.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic_garden:
yes, huge parts of the location service go into the "Android System"-group. Just try setting the location accuracy a bit lower (or disable location services completely), just for one day, and compare the results.

i m getting 4.3 hours screen on time with 1% battery drain per hour on standby... stock lollipop... google services eating battery
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirreer:
Here is the bomb, brace yourselves:

My current setup:

Latest S.ROM (Stock Android 5.02 + Stock Kernel)

No facebook (disabled)

Wi-Fi Scanning Always On: OFF

Location mode: battery saving

No google account

Mobile Data: Always On

Brightness: Auto

Everything else: Default

I get:

7+ hours screen-on time

18 hours of usage, AND

By the end of the day, I still have 10-20% battery leftover.

It turns out Facebook is a battery parasite (, but having a google account is the true mother of all battery hogs. From my own experience, Google Services uses about 35% of my juice. After removing the google account entirely, Google Services use only 5%

Opinion:

Google services are cool, but NOT cool enough to sacrifice both my privacy and a high-quality phone experience to. I now enjoy my phone as much as I please for as long as I'm awake.

To remove a Google Account:

Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Google

Tap the 3-dots menu next to your name, select remove.

You might also want to clear the data for Google+, Google Now, and Google Play Services (must deactivate ADM first).

Good luck.

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] HITMAN-CREED:
The smileys pngs are in SecSetting.apk

Go to System/prive-app/SecSetting & Copy your SecSetting.apk to your desktop, then extract it using winrar, then find the smileys pngs, and download a pack of other smileys, and rename them to the original smileys name in your SecSetting.apk.

after that open your setting.apk and don't extract it, just push the new pngs (that you have renamed) there and copy your SecSetting.apk back to its original place and chage permissions.

Note: Dont forget to backup.
