[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikcas:
oke, testdownloads are up on my website

You will find (unsorted order)

recovery.img ==> TWRP recovery (only works with updated TA bootloader)

omni 5.1.1

AOSP 5.1.1_r13

boot.img ==> boot.img for AOSP

Option 1:

You can download and install omnirom. I recommend you use TWRP for it. Only questions on installing with TWRP I can answer. I have absolutely no experience with CM recovery.

To install twrp, update your bootloader with emma (see faq on my website) and flash recovery with fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Option 2:

Download and install AOSP. Remember, currently the updater does not flash the boot.img correctly! You will have to flash the boot.img from downloads manually. See FAQ on my website on bottom of page.

Option 3:

Only download boot.img and flash on your current aosp. I donot recommend this as the ramdisk is changed last days!!

As a wannabe maintainer for omni I'd like feedback on that :angel:

Known important issues:

no camera

pink/green overlay on videoplayback (really need to remember how I solved that on my previous device)

(donot tell but as these are testdowloads, gapps are included in roms :P)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
nice :D

I'd recommend you post this in a new thread though, as posting builds in Q&A might not be the best course of action :silly:

Oh, and your fix is on gerrit http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/106132/

[MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION] [MENTION=4699153]rzlatic[/MENTION] I have updated the patch on review. Can it be tested to be sure?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wassupdog:
Hello, I'm currently using Nexus 4 which after few drops, broken screen and water, not good enough for daily use anymore.

I'm looking now for a new phone, I prefer smaller phones so I thought about iPhone 5S but now thinkning maybe settle for a bigger phone but new one.

I'm now thinking about LG G3 or S6 Edge.

Which one should I take and way?

I'm not a gamer or anything but I'm afraid of one thing which is Roms/XDA support.

The S6 has Samsung's cpu which in my understanding will be a problem with roms (I don't like Samsung's UI and want to flash rom as soon as I get it).

Thanks in advance.

Kirek50 No. There is not any Recovery for LG v490 on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop yet.

because i have a little experience on linux and coding i am trying to find ways to install CWM PhilZ recovery. When and If i find something i will inform you guys.

This Thread has and will have All you Need for LG G Pad 8.0 :)

mescalito83 It might work for many LG Models. Those Guides on this thread are tested and are working on LG v490 i don't know if all of these guides are working on other LG models that's why i don't write that this guide is working on other models. You can write if any of these guides is working on other model but first test it if it works good and then post it. Thanks.

Thanks for the topic, we should have one for LG G PAD 8.0 V490. I dont have any expectations for roms. I know that's different hardware but it's pitty cause nobody cares for the tablet. It's nice though that we have atleast root for lollipop.

[G Pad 8.3 General] sconkel:
This root method did not work for my tmobile G Pad F 8.0 (v496). However i was able to root it by using the newest version (4.1 i believe) of kingroot (in english i might add), still trying to find a custom recovery that works. I have cwm flashed now but it's all jacked up lol
[G Pad 8.3 General] tlxxxsracer:
All jacked up how? :confused: Ill look into the kingroot :) thanks

Are you aware of any roms thatll run?
[G Pad 8.3 General] kvanderberg:
Really? Post #3 worked like a champ on my T-Mob v496, except it wanted to install something at 18% not 50 like it says. Haven't messed with recovery yet though, really just need my adaway :). Anyone think we'll get 5.1 on this puppy?
[G Pad 8.3 General] sconkel:
It pulls up cwm when i boot into recovery but anything i hit takes me to a black screen and i have to hard reset. I down know of any roms but i can't say I've looked really either.

The root method on post #3 gave me a red sad face after like %40. Not sure what it actually said since it was in chinese but i tried once again with similar results so i found the latest version of kingroot (4.1 in english) and it worked for me

[G Pad 8.3 General] MaxiM_PL:
A little adendum to my previous post. The ROM keeps getting updates - that's the good part. Also you can enable root by downloading the official LineageOS patch that enables it - just tested it today. Only downside is that screen auto rotation is sketchy at best - right after installing 14.1 it works for a bit, then when you wake up your device sometime later it's gone, never to be seen again. I'm using Rotation Control Pro for the time being, hoping for a fix. It seems that rotation problems are not exclusive to LG G Pad but rather LineageOS 14.1 itself is the cause, since I've seen complaints about this issue from Galaxy S3 users as well. If you can live with that, the ROM works beautifully and it's so much faster than official 5.0.2. Helluva lot faster.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ashirviskas:
