[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
So those who had sdcard unmounts in previous builds got it fixed in latest build, and those who didn't have issues in previous builds have sdcard unmounts now? It would be great to get more feedback on this, stating which of both is your case. I also wonder why I never got sdcard unmounts in any build (and probably other users didn't either).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] giovaorama:
I used to have unmounts with the stock 4.4.2.

With this Rom i see the first unmount just now. Maybe i had also before but i never noticed.

Today I install BBS.

EDIT: i just check in the logcat: 5 unmounts in the last hour. The tablet was sleeping in the meanwhile

It's difficult to provide any useful feedback when you haven't experienced the problem. I have had no problems, but I don't move any apps to SD card, using it mainly for TWRP and TB backups.

The only time I have had SD card dismounts on a regular basis (I can't remember the device or ROM I was using), it turned out to be an SD card issue. Changing the card cured the problem, but that card worked fine in a PC reader and displayed no issues with a file integrity test. I do remember that I was not alone and others with similar issues were blaming the device or the ROM. Worth a try for those experiencing the problem...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
In the logs, I've noticed that an sdcard unmount usually occurs directly after a Wi-Fi disconnect.

The Wi-Fi module on the v500 is also combined with Bluetooth.

It is possible that combining Bluetooth and Wi-Fi activity simultaneously, causes a high cpu load, which makes the device hang, and triggers the sdcard unmount.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] scaramonga:
Already off in my case.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
I

am one of those that has never had a sdcard dismount with any build from Fefifofum from day one

, but of course I use a 8GB card...which must be one of 1000's of different combinations of mini-cards out 'there'.

IMO this ROM is as solid as it can be. Everyone can never be pleased. That is the way it is with complicated software and hardware.

I am also another user who hadn't a single SD card unmount with the older drivers and had one (just one) with the new ones from palman.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cronot:
Well, I'm one of those unfortunates that had SD card unmounts with both old (lg) and new (palman) drivers. The last time I remember NOT having issues was back with CM11, some very old build, one of the Milestone/snapshot builds.

With the old driver the unmounts were frequent so I used the workaround to disable suspend for the emmc controller that I mentioned previously in thread.

Strangely, I first detected the unmount with the new driver only after about a couple days after I've updated to the latest build. After then, though, the unmounts were also frequent and were accompanied by other strange issues related with wallpaper that I've also mentioned before. I've since gone back to using the workaround mentioned previously.

For the record, I've tried so far:

reformatting the card with a single FAT32 partition (it had a Fat32 and ext4 partition before)

uninstalled Link2SD completely

None of that helped. I can provide logs if you want, both in the form of logcat and dmesg, although I've already inspected them and the unmount is clearly logged, but there's no context in the log (that I could see) that could help identify why the unmount occurred. Let me know if it's ok to post them here.

Wonder if a particular SD card brand is better. I have sandisk.

My MicroSD is the Samsung 10 of 32 Gb class 10, with the Stock 5.0.2 was this problem of MicroSd disassembly, now with the ROM Exodus had no time this problem. Perhaps you can check with the staff exodus some solution for this.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Since I disabled WMM power save on the router, my tablet has not had a single Wi-Fi disconnect.

Edit:

Sometimes the logs still have a "Bad Network" message, but it recovers now without disconnecting.

New build released

with sepolicy denials fixed. Thanks everybody for your feedback about the sdcard issue, this release has no changes related to it, so we have more time to test and decide what's the best solution.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

Does fixing the mm-qcamerad selinux denials fix any functionality with any of the camera applications? Thanks for the new build!

BTW, I'm not sure why, but since I have fixed the wifi disconnect problem, my sdcard unmount issue has also been miraculously solved as well. The only thing that changed on my tablet was that I disabled the bluetooth service and formatted .android_secure.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
It doesn't fix any functionality by itself (that I'm aware of), but we'll need it when I finish the camera wrapper. I've been very busy lately and didn't have much time to experiment with it. About sdcard and wifi, I thought your sdcard unmounts were fixed with palman driver. Anyway, I don't think they are connected.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The palman driver does behave much better than the LG driver in my case. With the LG driver, I am unable to download any large torrent files. With the Palman driver, I can download everything without any problems. But, both drivers still showed some unmount in the logs. The LG driver just had much much more unmount issues.

Although, since the Wi-Fi has been working without any disconnects, I have not seen any unmounts in the logs.

Any service that can potentially hang the system can cause the sdcard to unmount.

Edit: I also just noticed that my old Bluetooth 2.0 headset hangs the system during video playback. The new Bluetooth 3.0 headset does not hang the system during video playback. Maybe some of my unmount issues stopped when I switched to a Bluetooth headset that works properly and stopped hanging the system.

I finally flashed 'cm-12.1-20150921-UNOFFICIAL-awifi' to my LG G Pad 8.0 (V500) and everything is running smoothly, contrary to my previous experience with stock V50020d (KK 4.4.2), which lately got to freeze completely while playing video, for instance, forcing me to hard reboot the tablet frequently.

I'm also using the base Delta GApps 'gapps-511-base-20150915-1-signed' with the additional PDF and YouTube modules.

One glitch I'm experiencing with this setup is occasional random screen touch input without any physical contact, especially after long periods of sleep (like overnight). Anyone seeing this too?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The touch screen sensitivity is pretty high. Sometimes the screen registers a touch even though my finger is a few millimeters from actually touching the screen.

Do you see touches registered in the logcat while the tablet sleeps?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Giaki:
About the SD dismount issue:

With lg drivers experienced a lot of dismounts;

With palman drivers no more dismounts.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] pnin:
Thanks for answering. I didn't check for that (wouldn't know what to look for, really) 'cause that's not the problem I seem to be experiencing every now and then -- which is that sometimes while the Pad is waken, even if I keep my fingers and everything else away from the touchscreen, it still registers touch input, e.g., the notification tray will open and close.

Unfortunately, I didn't take logs last time it happened, but I sure will next time...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] neodraig:
Thanks a lot for your ROM fefifofum :)

Today I finally decided to flash my LG Pad and installed the official Cyanogenmod ROM but the wifi wouldn't work.

After a couple of hours trying to fiddle with the settings and flashing again and again the different nightlies asnothing worked I finally gave up :(

Then I tried to find another solution and that's how I tried your ROM.

Now everything seems to work fine, thank you !!!

Hi there, am I right that the WiFi disconnect bug is still present in the build from September 28th? When devices goes to sleep there will be no WiFi after wakeup.

I was able to fix it with a setting in the router.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Glatzi:
Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that this problem is router based. WiFi seems to be connected after wakeup from sleep, you can see the traffic symbol for incoming & outgoing traffic, WiFi says it is connected. But there is no network communication possible. Someone in this thread said that this problem also exists in the official CM 12.1 sources if I remember rigth.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I had exactly the same.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] giovaorama:
I can confirm that in my case the sd unmount happen very often with the new palman driver.

With the lg one i never noticed them or anyway I never found the tablet after a deep sleep with the notification that the sd was unmounted. Now at least one time per day i see this notification.

The strange thing is that when i check in the logcat, these unmounts seems to be burst events: they happen, let's say, 5 times in half of an hour and then nothing for hours. They are easy to filter: look for sucessfully (with just a c) ?

Anyway, at the moment these unmounts are not a problem for me.

wifi on channel 13

I do have a request regarding wifi on the v500: my tablet does not see APs on channels 12 and 13, although I have configured the wifi region code on the advanced wifi menu. My other CM device connects fine, so this seems to be tied to the v500.

Please take a look if and when you have the time :)

Thanks for this great rom.

New build released

with upstream changes. I also added a sensors library what we might need (flo and mako have it in their proprietary file list), although I didn't notice any change after adding it.

I don't know what to do about the sdcard driver. You have more unmounts with palman driver, [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] has more unmounts with lg driver, [MENTION=2404541]DSC05[/MENTION] has the same unmounts with both drivers, and [MENTION=2057337]dsbnz[/MENTION] and I have no unmounts with any of both drivers. I think it's better not to change the driver anymore until we find out what's the real cause of this issue (unless most of you agree that we should use lg driver).

I've been checking with Wifi Analyzer and I can see APs on channel 13 (there are not APs on channel 12 in my neighbourhood). Send me a logcat and dmesg so I can help you.

First I would like to thank you fefifofum for your hard work. Your ROM is perfect! Second, I have a problem with Chromecast. Video and audio transmission with Play Movies & TV, Play Music, Google Plus, YouTube and option Cast Screen / Audio works great. Yesterday's update Photos from Google adds ability to use Chromecast. And there is a problem. When connected to TV, screen on TV turns black. Despite change photos on tablet nothing changes on TV. This problem does not occur with my LG G3 with Stock ROM. I'm inexperienced and don't know if this problem is with Photos or your ROM. Sorry for my bad English. ;)

This is the procedure I used:

* factory reset

* reboot and setup

* reboot

and got dmesg and logcat -b all via adb just after the boot.

After a factory reset I cannot see APs in channels 12/13, which I could before, so it must be some setting we are missing now. Lately I've been doing some tests with aosp 6.0, and my phone got a new kernel release, so I'm kind of busy lately. I will try to fix this wifi issue when I have some time.

I have always had only one issue with this ROM, and that was my taptowake would never work correctly. I always had to hit a certain 'spot'. It seems to be getting harder. In fact too hard to put up with so I've gone to the power switch for on and tap to sleep (which the taptosleep) works just fine. I think it's nothing to do with the ROM...just thought I'd mention my only 'quirk'. :)

Any hints on how to set the sensitivity a bit stronger? However, I did read the screen 'touch' is already sensitive...but not on my 500. But can't have everything! ;)

This is interesting. During the weekend I moved my AP at home to channel 13 to test this issue, and the v500 connected fine. The configuration steps were:

* on the AP: setup regdom, change channel to 13

* on the tablet: setup regdom

It took a while but the AP showed up. I believe now it is unlikely that this is a rom problem.

That worked !! Just made a few drawings & the screen is sensitive all over now! Taptowake works from any screen place.

Hi all,

Something I couldn't find an answer to : can I dirty flash this ROM on top of the AOSP from this thread ? Or do I act as if I come from stock ?

Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
A factory reset is always recommended when switching ROMs that have different source code bases.

Yes, you should factory reset if coming from AOSP.

Tnx for the quick reply. In between I found that both ROMS are almost identical, no much need for switching for now...

Had one unusual issue when overwriting this new ROM update...and that was on reboot. When the "starting apps" screen appeared, that process 'hung'. Had to hold the power button until the system restarted...then all is fine. First time thats happened.

Question: Screen is set default @ 320ppi. Why so high? I set to 300ppi & can tell no difference. Isn't the factory resolution set much lower?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
changing the DPI in build.prop will also affect which version the play store installs and which version of Google play services is installed by gapps base package.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Now I am a bit confused. In the description of the LG 500 Tab 8.3 - it lists a ppi or pixel density of 273ppi.

Have most ROMS changed this now? Also, after installing and running a play store with different specs...how does that affect the display and also the play store? Mind explaining it a bit more.

Thank you.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
If ro.sf.lcd_density is changed in build.prop, then it will affect play store's choice of dpi specific apps. Also, which version of play services is installed by gapps base packages.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
So, Deltandroid, the dpi or ppi have been modified for some time (to a higher density that the initial one from factory) and that has affected the Play Store versions that are installed?

That is interesting...how may versions of Play Store would you say are influenced by dpi? And is that the only limitation to installing a different version of Play Store, or could be be best to not install any Play Store apps as Fefifofum indicated in another post?

I know this is asking a lot of you...but could you explain a bit about this in detail?

Many thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
other factors besides dpi can affect version numbers, but dpi is the most common one. about half of the gapps versions are affected by dpi in build.prop.

Although, cm has a way of changing dpi in the settings that won't affect play store. (settings --> display --> lcd density)

I just wanted to mention that since a few days ago, my tablet started to show those "sdcard unmount" messages on the screen every time I would wake the device from sleep mode. I started to investigate the files on my sdcard to see if I could figure out what was causing the sdcard to unmount. I then removed a directory that contained a large amount of zip files, and after that, I have not had any "sdcard unmount" messages since.

So, maybe most of those sdcard unmount issues are caused by corrupted files on the sdcard that hang the system.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] giovaorama:
This morning i had a really strange behavior.

In background it was installing facebook. As usual this takes a lot and then i open something else.

I run google + and after a swype to update, it forces close and then i start to get force close notifications for every running (?) app even nova launcher.

Each time i click ok in the notification a new one comes.

I had to reboot.

Any idea? If this happens again does a logcat after reboot will be useful? I think no.

Regarding the sd unmounts. For me these are very random. I don't actually use the sd, it just contains movie for my daughter to have something to see when we are in holiday.

Just to say that i (theoretically) never access the sd.

Maybe there is some process that automatically access to sd filesystem and has some problems with "strange" folder or semi corrupted filesystem.

[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

On the stock lollipop ROM, there are some settings in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini that fix the Wi-Fi so that it can connect to channels above 11.

The Wi-Fi settings in this rom are hard coded to this:

gStaCountryCode=BR

The stock ROM must also enable this setting to match the above setting:

gCrdaDefaultCountryCode=BR

The problem with some routers could be that both these settings must be enabled and set to the same country code.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
It's actually "gCRDAfaultCountryCode" and I'm pretty sure they don't have to be the same but this particular key is responsible for deciding what channels are available to you so you could change it if you travel to another country. Just make sure you set it to a country code that uses the channels you want. For me, I use "GB" to give me channels 1-13 but if I visit Japan I can change it to "JP" and get channels 1-14 for example.
