tip of the day: to check integrity of the file (corrupted download), you need an "md5 checker" (google it).

Just reporting on new install (0630):

Wifi is great. Everything else, too.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The cm update tool automatically verifies the md5 of the ota file through the signature of the ota file before it will ask to reboot and apply it. So, it can't be corrupt.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
No issues with WiFi here as well.

Dear fefifofum,

Is it possible to have battery percentage back (on off-charge icon; icon itself is fine, though)? Or am I the only one who misses it?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] meanoc:
I've spent hours trying to get wifi working again with no luck. As a last ditch effort I wiped EVERYTHING and wifi is indeed dead. I'm throwing the pad out so if anyone needs parts LMK. Now I have to figure out what to buy and thats the hardest part. Thanks guys for chiming in :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
With the new charge images it was difficult to see the percentage, that's why I removed it. I'll see if I can find a setting that looks good and can be read (maybe change the color and size).

Sorry to hear that. Did you try installing stock KDZ? Don't you think a repair is worth?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ol31:
Quite simple :immediately after setting bt on, Wi-Fi incoming Flow rate dramatically decreased. I use bt to connect my tablet to a BOSE mini sound link.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] lentm:
That was what happened with my Note 3 when using WIFI with 2.4GHz.

Looks like they interfere each other. On my phone, a lot.

WIth 5GHz, no more same issue.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] lentm:
fefifofum, my WIFI always turns off about 30 seconds - 1 minute after my gpad goes to sleep,

doesn't matter if it's 2.4 or 5Ghz.

It seems like it got worse with the latest version. Can you check this issue?

The link below is the log...Thank you!

Edit: After several reboots, it seems to be gone. Weird...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
I've been testing with my bt speaker to see if I could reproduce the bug. I tested with Wifi Analyzer and Speed Test and didn't find big differences when using bt or not. But I found that other devices have this issue:

https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1264

Very weird, hehe. Anyway, latest buid didn't have any wifi related commits. Maybe a third party app is responsible?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

with enabled battery percentage during off charge. I made it a little bigger, changed its color and position, so it should be readable now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] SeeMeNoMore:
This is really impressive, never got that great battery life. Thanks for your work! This is the battery life of flashing, setting it up, downloading all the apps and then sleep lol.

Hi [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION],

Thank you again for your amazing job on our G Pad.

I kindly ask you to look into a feature request: is it possible to add TRIM support to our kernel?

Thanks a lot!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Disrupthor:
Hello, can you make the kernel available in a flashable zip for use on CM by temasek? Or maybe build a CM by temasek yourself with your kernel.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
It already has trim support. If your request comes from errors with LagFix app, you should try Trimmer.

A flashable zip with the kernel wouldn't work properly in CM by temasek, and it's not advisable to mix sources. For now I'm focused on this rom, and I don't think I will build a different one unless it's to make it official.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

with F2FS support and updated to android-5.1.1_r6 tag. Official TWRP for the gpad doesn't have F2FS support (yet), but it will be added for next release so we will be able to format data in F2FS.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] gmlbby:
I noticed that the battery percentage remained the same after charging for more than 2 hours while the devices was turned off on the 20150705 build. It charges fine when the device is on.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ol31:
What are f2fs advantages?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
I'm charging it right now (turned off), and the percentage has gone up from 15 to 19 in 10 min. (build 0705)

While I was writing the above, it'd gone to 22.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
nice, tried it with f2fs using mkfs.f2fs from my nexus 5, can't mount the /data /cache in twrp till the new version arrives, but anyway rom runs pretty fast. thanks!

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
You wrote 1 hour and 42 minutes after the release, but you say it was "charging for more than 2 hours". How is that possible?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=f2fs+advantages
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] deepongi:
not sure if f2fs is working ok...

you can flash this MultiROM TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/mod-multirom-v32-t3127173

and format /cache /system and /data as f2fs, but device wont boot, gets stuck during boot, with CM logo pulsing..

made a fresh clean/fresh install, obviously.

regards.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Only cache and data partitions have f2fs support, system partition should be used as ext4.

I downloaded then flashed the rom at 5:38 PM (GMT +8) yesterday then i turned it off to charge after the updates during startup have finished. I reported the "bug" at 9:03 PM last night.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] deepongi:
yep. its ok now.

Storage i/o benchmark on antutu raised significantly .. :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I wonder how f2fs works with encryption.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
Clean install with Data and cache formatted in F2FS. No issues here, besides not feeling any real world performance improvement. My v500 was requiring a clean install for quite some time: Battery consumption is way better now. Thanks!

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DSC05:
I'm having some problems with 5 Ghz wifi. After a reboot or switching back from flight mode the device only finds 2,4 Ghz wifis. I have to manually switch to 5 Ghz only. Then I can go back to automatic mode till the next reboot / flight mode.

Anyone else?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
I had that issue. Go the right hand top corner and change the setting to *only* allow 5 Ghz.

I don't think the reading is as accurate as it should be. That may be why it will jump back to 2.4Ghz. Try that and see if you get results because setting to 5 you will only get 5. No 2.4.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DSC05:
Yep, switching to 5 Ghz only is of course a (temporary) fix.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Vietanh198:
I tried the rom but now the battery seems to drain very fast. Now I want to flash another rom but I can't get into recovery. Probably the problem is because I flashed the Kitkat bootloader file in post #3. What should I do now? Every time I reboot to recovery, the boot screen says: "booting secure error"

Edit : followed feriforum's guide here and got access to recovery again
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Install official TWRP, it works with kitkat bootloader. But the battery life on this rom is better than in other custom roms (except the ones that use my sources, that have the same battery life). Several users confirmed it, so the problem is probably on your end.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Vietanh198:
I tried the app install and dd install methods given in https://twrp.me/devices/lggpad83.html (the other 2 is not applicable) but the warning still appears.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Soy_Filipo:
I cant move apps to the SD Card, have anyone encountered this issue?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
That happens in official cm-12.1 builds. Moving apps to SD Card works properly in this rom.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
You are right, I don't know how that got broken. I will try to fix it for next release.

EDIT: already found the problem and fixed it for next release.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Vietanh198:
No sleep while charging

Hi. Could someone please tell me if your tablet is always awake when charging or not ? You can see in the attached screenshot that mine is. I just find this weird. I don't know what the cause is. Tried disabling every wake up permission but no help
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ukguy115:
2 or 3 builds now when transferring large files (~800mb or so) to pc via es file explores over WiFi they always quit or fail like the WiFi drops out or something. Anyone else see this or maybe I am just doing something wrong. Thanks.

Looks like second attempt is holding for now. Also on 5ghz network. Maybe it is working after all. Thanks for all the work by the way.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I have the same problem copying large files to my RPi over samba sometimes. The file transfer just gets slower and slower then seems to time out. Although, this only happens occasionally.

I checked the logs for any selinux denials, but there were none. I've had this problem for a very long time, even with the official builds. I have tried using permissive mode and it seemed to have fixed the problem, but that doesn't make sense since there are no denials in the logs.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Setting selinux to permissive fixes the problem in official builds, or in my builds? In the second case, I will need a logcat and dmesg to fix it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Setting the ROM to permissive mode in the official cm12.1 build seems to have fixed it for me, but, I checked the logs and there were no denials. Next time I get a file transfer failure, I'll send you the logs. It seems random when it happens.

Edit:

Another interesting thing is that the transfer failure only happens when I am copying a file to the raspberry pi, never when copying from another device and writing a file to the tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
transfer logs

[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

I was able to make the transfer fail by copying a few large files to the RPi over samba with Root Explorer. I dont see any selinux related problems. Attached logs.

Clock app

I've flashed this ROM from stock KitKat and it works great!

But then I flashed the Lollipop Google clock addon (from http://xdaforums.com/android/softwa...20150107-1-t2997368/post58047099#post58047099) and the clock app crashes every time I try to open it :rolleyes:

I've already tried to redownload it, wipe cache and delvik cache and reflash it, with no success.

Any idea what I should do?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
When replacing the clock for the first time, you need to start out with a factory reset.

If you factory reset, it will be fixed. You don't need to reinstall anything.

You only have to factory reset when initially installing the clock add-on for the first time.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Whitespirit0:
Thanks for your quick reply! :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
No problem. Replacing the stock launcher with Google's launcher is also the same way. This is only the initial replacement that requires a clean system. Updates don't need a clean system once the stock application is already replaced.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Whitespirit0:
Save/restore

Does anyone know if the Google's save & restore feature for apps and data works with this ROM?

Because on the official CM ROM, they discourage using it:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ol31:
No problem noticed. Used it several times wo issues.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Whitespirit0:
I confirm that both the factory reset and the save/restore worked well, I have a brand new tablet now!

Thanks [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION], [MENTION=6550860]ol31[/MENTION] and of course [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Question?

When battery charging, would it be best under "battery" to change settings to performance and shut-off the "per-app" setting, to charge the battery faster? Or just leave the settings at "default"? Or will that make any difference?

----------------

Also: What happened to the "Performance" setting in the ROM starting about a month or so ago? Reason I ask, is if I install another kernel that has options (settings) how can one set them if there is no "Performance" section?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Performance profiles are now moved to battery settings and they are called battery modes. For faster charging you could use the powersave profile, the performance profile will set the cpu to max value so charge will be slower.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] davebuk:
Now running this ROM from official CM12.1. All looking very good so far. Bluetooth issue fixed and no black screens. Even smart unlock seems to work which never did on official ROM.

The only issue I had was after flashing bootloader, TWRP got screwed up and I was getting fast boot and secure boot errors. I managed to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 using flashify (didn't have computer to hand) which got me going again. I had not had any real issues with the black screen of death issue on CM12.1, but after flashing bootloader from OP I kept getting them. Anyway, I dirty flashed fefifofum over the top and everything is working as expected.

Thanks for your hard work [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] :)

New build released

with minimal vibration intensity set to zero.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Shouldn't the vibration be set to off when the vibration intensity is set to zero?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
When vibration intensity is set to zero there is no vibration anymore, that's what is fixed in today's build. I don't know if that is what you mean.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I mean that the vibration intensity should not be able to be set as zero because that is when vibration should be set as off.

If the intensity is zero, it won't vibrate at all. If the vibration is on,I would expect at least the smallest vibration as possible when the intensity is down all the way, but it should still vibrate.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
The slider goes from 0% to 100%, and I think it should not vibrate when it is set to 0%, that's why I changed it. What you say makes sense in a scale of 1 to 100, but in this case the slider starts at 0% (and I cannot change that). Right now, at 0% intensity there is no vibration at all, at 1% you have the minimal vibration possible, and at 100% you have the maximal. Other devices like hammerhead have it the same way.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Edit:

Yes, the range of the slider would need to be 1% to 100% (excluding 0%).

If 0% can not be removed from the slider, then it makes sense to not vibrate when 0% is selected.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
2 things...

The very best ROM for the G-Pad - but I've got 2 very minor flaws with mine. Number 1, the double-tap to wake can be hard to instigate, especially if asleep for a few hours...the *only* other gripe #2 I've got is losing a post after typing for some time. Post will just poof ! Gone! I can find no way to retrieve it. But that is minor. This is getting more stable every update. Great work! :)

hi guys,

ive managed to mess up pretty well today.

i have messed about with rooting etc but it was a couple years back so forgive me if im being stupid

i was attempting to put lollipop on my HTC One Mini.

so far i have;

unlocked the bootloader

installed CWM

Heres where ive messed up...

i followed instructions to dump my required files onto my phone (CM12 (nightly) ROM, Gapps and SuperSU)

i then booted into CWM, did all the data wiping etc as instructed, i then tried to install the .zips but i couldnt fine them anywhere so now i cant boot the phone or anything

any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

P.s im not sure if i have posted this in the right place. please move it if it isnt, thank you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tippee:
i have found on google that i can boot lollipop using sideload on adb but every thing i try just gives me error: closed or failed to write data.

i have tried

adb remount

adb sideload

adb push

nothing will work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tippee:
Update please read

I HAVE A FIX

I really hope that anyone who has been pulling hair out like i have all day finds this and i hope it helps them.

i had CWM installed and it didnt find my .zip files, rom, gapps and superSU

i tried sideloading and a million other commands but it kept giving me errors

i then installed twrp and tried sideloading, still nothing. what i did then notice is, TWRP found the .zip files i had put on so i did the usual "wipe data, factory reset" stuff on there and then had a go at installing the CM11 rom zip file and it worked!!!!

i have now since decided to use the candy5 5.0.0.zip and it has booted up perfectly. i have superSU installed too!

The only thing i am still working on, is trying to get the gapps installed BUT.... i no longer have a soft bricked phone. I really hope this helps somebody else. feel free to ask me for help on this. i am only a n00b at this but i may have tried something you havent.

Best of luck guys.

Hello everybody,

First off I'd like to thank all the developers and contributors to this Forum, you're doing a great job :good:. Although this is my first post, I've been following this forum for a while now and learned lots of good things.

Now the problem...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Core LTE (SM-G386W) from Fido Canada. It only came with 5 default system languages (English, French, Korean, Chinese and one more - don't really know what it is) and I'd like to know if it's possible to install others. I bought this phone for someone that doesn't understand/speak any of the languages above, I'd like to enable/install Romanian language pack.

Phone is rooted. I tried already a bunch of apps such as Language Enabler but the results aren't satisfactory, a few app names and messages get translated but the menus stay in English. Besides when I go to Language and input menu, it shows me Romanian (Romania) selected but if I press on it, the drop down list still only shows the original 5 languages I can chose from. Therefore I assume the enabling is not permanent nor complete.

I also tried flashing a ROM from the similar model in Europe (SM-G386F) but it didn't go through.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you.

[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
So I had a weird thing happen over the weekend. Decided to swap phones with my wife for a few days. She has a Note 4 DE. I got it all set up and swapped the SD cards. The card that was her's I put in the z3v and it would read it. Pulled it and put in my PCs card reader and it said it needed to be reformatted. I was able to get the files I needed off it by using some file recovery software. Then I reformatted the card and all was well.

Swappoed phones back last night and when I took MY card from the Note 4 and put it in the z3v the same thing happened. I'm in the process of recovering the files now.

Anyone else encountered this when swapping cards to the z3v?

You should go to the settings and storage then unmount the SD card before taking them out. Hope that helps.

Just upgraded to 5.0 via the ROM flash to keep root. I flashed the stock ROM, not deodexed.

Smart Lock is the main feature I need in 5.0. I have a Moto360 and want my phone unlocked when the watch is present by using it as a Trusted Device. Immediately after flashing, I set a lock pin so that Smart Lock was available. Everything was working as designed.

All of a sudden, I am having to enter my lock pin again. I go into Security settings and Trusted Devices and Smart Lock are both greyed out. How can I reenable?
