[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
If you think that will fix camera for all available roms, that's not how it works. Kernel aside, you need new blobs (vendor files) and changes in the device repo (sepolicy rules, ramdisk, ...) to fix camera. I publish all my repos so everybody can see them, and other devs can either use them to build their roms or try to "extract" the changes for camera to fix it in their builds. But I cannot do much more than I already did publishing my sources and this rom...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

With the following changes:

- Set lcd brightness to default value during first boot.

- Kernel updated to latest caf tag for our soc.

- Fix vidc firmware error.

I will keep publishing new builds of this rom whenever there are significant changes in CyanogenMod's or my repos.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
really awesome build, i can even push apps to sd, for some reason this never worked for me on default cm

it even feels smoother
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Demetris:
Thanks for your work. I"ll notify arcee to take a look on your sources maybe they can be used officially.

Thanks, I will need to make some changes to the repos to make them to his liking. :p

************

New build released, changelog can be found HERE.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] :
Auto-rotation isn't working (Clean installation of the 10.6. build). And yes, I did a reboot.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
works fine for me, but I'm pretty sure i've read something similar yesterday on the official cm12.1 thread,

the "solution" seemed to flash the rom another time.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] bjcrj:
Thank you for this ROM! Smooth and stable! Still getting the external sdcard bad removals when device sleeps, but thats the only issue i have found. Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ol31:
This is just a perfect build!

No issues. Even my BT/Wi-Fi disconnect issues are addressed.

Thanks a lot!!!!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dadaa1:
no rotate for me also, and no help for installing two times
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cant0nese:
I had the same problem - multiple rebooting and re-flashing the rom didn't help. I finally fixed it by flashing the latest official nightly CM12.1 rom (which immediately fixed the rotation problem), and then flash back this rom.

BTW I came straight from stock 4.4.2. Never flashed anything before. Not sure if this had to do with the rotation problem.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

...with working HDMI and improved gamma. I think I also solved the issue some users are having with auto-rotation, but since I cannot reproduce the bug I cannot confirm whether it's fixed or not.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
Ok, thanks, I will give it a try :) Btw, hope that it uses the same bootloader as the official CM12.1...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
1) It is light years ahead of official CM12.1 --When a update is needed / or discovered

2) It uses kitkat bootloader.

(*) Most solid 'running' system out so far!! ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
Ok, was just curious if I need to reflash the bootloader when upgrading from official CM. It seems that the official CM uses kitkat bootloader too.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
I don't have problems with double tap, do you use any app to manage kernel/power saving features? About the second issue, I'm not sure I understand it, are you talking about a specific app?

Same here, but I have that issue with all devices I test with my tv. Does miracast work for you with any other custom rom? Does it work with official CM builds?

Official CM is using kitkat bootloader since yesterday nightly, so if you are not sure you can just flash kitkat bootloader again (read post 3). Make sure your recovery works with kitkat bootloader too (like official twrp builds).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] lentm:
No, I haven't tested with the other custom roms since I got my smart tv yesterday.

Chromecast works, so not a big issue for me, but I was just curious if it was only me.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
The first (double tap) may be a flaw with my tablet. The second...hell I felt strange finding only *one* error!! Actually, I guess for 'waking up', the quickness & sureness of the on/off button has always been more positive...

The ROM is pressing perfection for me, but please keep it up! (Nice to have tinkering to do!!) :D
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The gesture feature built into Nova Launcher Prime interferes with the double tap to wake, especially on a reboot.

Removing Nova Launcher or disabling the "prime" gesture features might fix the problem.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

with a fix for perfd and the option to choose the default installation location for apps.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
My slimport adapter does not work. Did not try it on other system, so dont know if it is working at all. My hdmi source in tv just blinks, it is available for a few seconds and then it is not.

---------- Post added at 18:55 ---------- Previous post was at 18:46 ----------

Ok, it works after plugging the power into adapter. Then it works even without it :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Don't use any apps to "help" double-tap. dttw was not consistant...*But now it works great !!* Must be something with this last update! Before I would have to tap HARD, and in a certain place on the screen. Now anywhere like Fefifofum said it would work, but mine never would consistantly.

Can now tap easy -- anywhere on the screen to 'wake'...couldn't before. This recovery & the stability is getting more like Unix or Linux. Great ! This IS the ROM to use!

:D
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Bronando:
Can't play 60fps 1080p, video stops after 5 sec and audio keeps going
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Shimaran:
Ha ! I have the exact same problem only on my G Pad but with all ROMs. The 60 fps option is quite recent so maybe it is a bug that's going to be fixed soon, hopefully...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Fefifofum, or Deltandroid, will give an answer shortly. So hang around close.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

with upstream fixes and updates.

I'm not sure the gpad can handle 1080p 60fps playback. Do you know if it works on Nexus 7 (2013) or Nexus 4?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Jansxel:
Yeah 60 FPS it can handle 720P and 1080P Is only 30FPS
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Shimaran:
So that's a hardware limitation ?:(
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fluxxis:
Hi, thank you so much for your work. Do you think chances are good that the IR blaster will work in future releases?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
No idea, but if Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 4 can't handle it, i guess the gpad won't either. I think what [MENTION=5782188]Jansxel[/MENTION] said makes sense, 60fps works in 720p max, in 1080p only 30fps will work.

Honestly, I don't think so. I will make more tests soon, since I want to test something new, but chances are it won't work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Shimaran:
In fact it seems the Nexus 7 can't even handle 720p 60fps videos according to this thread on Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/3btq13/youtube_60fps_for_android_stuttering/
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nytral:
Hi, is anyone having the sd card unmounting issue? Had it with Redkernel until r22 which manage to remount it when it vanishes for some reason. Except for this bug, this Rom is solid!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jt1998:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] Just updated my Gpad from 4.4.2 on Mahdi ROM 2.9. This ROM is awesome. Easy instructions and links. Thanks for the help and guidance. Also updated TWRP from 2.7 to latest 2.8.7.

Sent from my Android 5.1.1 LGV500 on CM 12.1 or my Galaxy S5 900T with Android 5.1.1 with Resurrection Remix v 5.5.3
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
What is the simplest way to revert to stock? I am buying the black model and the white goes to my wife :) So I think that the stock would be better for her, even without root, because... she has also the stock at her LG phone. Maybe I should use the official LG mobile support tool to do the automatic repair?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jt1998:
WOW. back to original stock?? That would be kitkat on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 - can't remember. There is a guide on the LG G Pad 8.3 forums. Let me take a look for it and I'll post a link if/when I find it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Jansxel:
Theres An Lollipop Stock for our device.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
I did not have the ota update to Lollipop on stock some week ago
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
Well, LG Mobile Support Tool made its work. No ROM download needed.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
I think that there is a stock lollipop flashable with twrp.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
Ok, but is it official from LG and generally available in at least one country?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
That I don't know, but you can find more info here.

And now, lets keep this thread only for the [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] ROM discussion.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

with updated power_profile.xml from palman-5.1, which should provide slightly better battery life. Please, report back if you find any difference in battery life (a full charge is required to delete the old battery stats).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RickJohnson:
Is this "bumped"?

My G Pad is a replacement tablet, and with this new one I updated everything OTA without thinking. I vaguely remember reading on XDA a while ago something about bumped roms (kernels?), as the new aboot wasn't loki exploitable. As far as I know, that's now the case with my tablet due to the OTA updates, so I think that's why I installed Skin1980's stock Lollipop Korean rom (as it's bumped)...

And so to tonight. I've gone to flash this (flashed the KitKat bootloader first), had an error, and had a vague flashback to what I wrote above. I'm assuming that I can't flash this as it isn't bumped? If that's the case, are there any plans to alter this rom so numptys like me can use it? (I appreciate I have little idea what this would entail, as I can't code.) Also, am I correct in thinking that I can't even install a bog standard CM now? I think I remember reading the OP, or maybe it was Deltadroid, discussing this somewhere else a while back.

I would stay on the stock Lollipop Korean rom but, frankly, it runs like ****, even after removing almost all of LG's bloat. I used to run stock CM on my old G Pad, so I'm acutely aware of the difference, and it's doing my head in.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
You should install official TWRP and kitkat bootloader, then reboot to recovery again and flash this rom. It should work as they all use open bump. Maybe this post can also help you.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] RickJohnson:
I'll have a dig through that, thanks. In that case I just need to download another version of TWRP...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] meanoc:
Has anyone gotten Xposed working on this rom? I tried with one of the older versions and had all kinds of issues. I just updated to the 20150809 version and was going to try installing Xposed again.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ukguy115:
Working here romracer v70.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
Could it be any better?! I've had almost 9 hours of screen time on previous builds. But I certainly will give this one a try... Thanks! A lot!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Vietanh198:
That is awesome. Mine only has like 5 hrs. What activities do you usually do on your tablet? Which level of brightness? Do you use Google services? Do you apply any tweaks or just use default settings from this ROM?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
I only get 3h playing Boom Beach.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
9 hours is indeed amazing. Here I get 5+ hours basically browsing the web, which is excellent for the V500.

The v500 is by far the best android device with CM that I have. You have done a superb job Fefifofum. Just out of curiosity: Do you also develop CM for a phone?

[]'s
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] meanoc:
Any modules giving you problems? And thanks for the reply :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Wow, I think I never got to 6 hours.

Is that only with the latest build, or with the previous ones too?

Thanks. Yes, I develop CM for Xiaomi Redmi 1S, but I will probably buy a new phone soon since I'm not happy with it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] luisbraz:
I'm not on the latest build yet.

I'm not complaining, I'm just informing, just to see if there are someone that plays that game.

With that game, the tablet and also the phone gets very hot, so I assume that the game takes a lot of resources.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
Reading, web-browsing, primarily. When I watch some tv (sports via torrent streams, bsplayer or wss), screentime drops considerably (to 5-6 hs), but don't watch too much. Found out that watching via flashplayer in web-browser is less taxing on the battery (maybe just marginally).

No extra fine-tuning. Just this ROM (turned out to be superior to the official one in all departments, including ST on battery, up to 60-80 percent).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
New build released

with a fix in power_profile.xml screen values.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
Please keep us informed. It is almost mandatory to have a talented developer as you are if we want to enjoy CM on our devices. I remember that you did not accept donations some time ago, but I believe that I (and many others) really would like to help you on a new purchase as a small return for your job here for the V500.

I hope you get a phone that is avaliable here as well :D

[]'s
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Hope everyone reads this referring to

Fefifofum! This developer has done as much as anyone that I've ever 'heard' about on this complete forum and deserves a bonus from us in appreciation. I, and many others I'm sure, would agree. :highfive:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
We need a donation link...

Since a lot of the LG 500 / plus some others who are using his ROMs and benefiting from his gracious advice, agree that

Fefifofum

should receive some donations for the super work he has given to us (and is still giving), we need

Fefifofum

to set up a donation link.

I for one will be first to donate.

:)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dbux:
Just to be sure. Maybe noobish question. When to flash the KitKat bootloader after flashing the ROM or before flashing it?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The order is not important if you flash them all consecutively before booting back into the system.

Reboot to recovery

Flash Rom

Flash kitkat bootloader

Flash latest official TWRP

Reboot to system
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dbux:
Apparently there is no way to flash .img in latest TWRP? Is there any .zip file available for latest recovery?

I have TWRP 2.8.6.0 currently. Is that enough?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] uzi2:
You can flash 2.8.7 .img with 2.8.6
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Just be sure and read *everything* printed on the page. You will see IMG...Tap it and load the image file.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dbux:
I mean .img file is not visible in 'Install' option in TWRP. Only .zip file will be visible. How to proceed then?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
You have to select the image option after you select install. It defaults to zips but it will install images too
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dbux:
I have the twrp.img with couple of other .zip files. It's showing all .zip files but not the .img. Is there any option hidden deep?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
It won't show the image files until you first click on Install (you see only the zip files), BUT if you look down NOW (while showing zips) at lower right bottom you will see the Image button. Click it NOW and you will see image files, if you have any, Only showing. (No zips)...now click on the image file and it will install like a zip file does.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dbux:
I got it. Sorry for the trouble. Actually I didn't flash the recovery.img after flashing the KitKat bootloader so after the reboot to system I had no recovery, it just showed 'fastboot mode'. So I flashed the the recovery with 'fastboot flash recovery' command. Hope it wont give no problem, right?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
There is no working fastboot for v500. Boot to system and install twrp with dd command.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dbux:
[MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] This is what I got. A black screen with 'fastboot ....' at top. So I flashed TWRP with fastboot command and I got this(refer pic attached). I chose modify. Maybe I can show you the fastboot screen again if I didn't flash the recovery after flashing KitKat bootloader and then booting to system and booting back to recovery . Anyways is there any problem with the recovery now. Is it all right?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ckret:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

hi, can you tell me the benefits of this and the following commits?

https://github.com/awifi-dev/androi...mmit/130c9962039572369efc0026f0f494da8a08c626
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
I thought the LG-V500 didn't have access to fastboot. Please, explain step by step how you got to fastboot, maybe we can follow this at the recovery thread. Thanks.

EDIT: nevermind, I got it, when you have no recovery at all, rebooting to recovery gets you to fastboot. I tried "fastboot oem unlock", but it seems not to work. On the other hand, it is possible to flash the recovery from fastboot, which is a nice finding.

That commit and the two that follow it are for controlling vibration intensity. That is the only "benefit".
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ckret:
did you try

fastboot oem device-info

and

fastboot devices

?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

If fastboot works, maybe that option should be added back to the reboot menu?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Yes, I tried everything, long story short: we can only flash partitions, we cannot unlock the bootloader or check its state.

No, fastboot only works when you reboot to recovery but there is no recovery. The option to reboot to fastboot won't work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION], I've noticed that Google Camera crashes with an error "Can't connect to Camera" if I switch from normal mode to HDR mode and take a picture. But, if I switch the camera to HDR mode and then reboot, then HDR mode works. The problem seems to occur when switching between normal mode and HDR mode while the camera application is still running. I believe the same problem exists with the stock camera application as well, although I haven't verified it yet.

Edit: It seems this is a common problem for many devices. Maybe we are missing some system libraries to support HDR, and that is why it crashes.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
For whatever reason, I could not replicate. Switched to HDR, took a picture -- no crash.

I remember this message from official builds, when I tried to take picture of self to replace the icon in Owner. Not this time though.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
So, HDR works with stock camera but not with Google camera?

Edit: if I select HDR mode with Google camera, then back out of the application and start the camera again, then take the picture, it doesn't crash.

It must be a problem with Google camera. HDR works if I switch modes like above.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Marshmallow Bootanimation

I extracted the latest Marshmallow bootanimation and repackaged it to install on our devices. The installer includes a backup script so that the bootanimation persists after dirty flashing ROM updates.

cm12.1-814x214-bootanimation-marshmallow-signed.zip
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
Now that is one great bootanimation Deltadroid! Better by far than some of the others you've made!

Thank you :)

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cronot:
Permissive kernel

To [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] ,

First of all, thanks a lot for your work, you guys are amazing!

I need init.d support on the ROM, because of some funky stuff - mostly link2sd related so I can move obb files to the sdcard. I've been using this script from [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] on the boot image built into your ROMs to achieve that. I realize your kernels are already bumped, the part on that script that matters to me is only setting the kernel to permissive though. It has worked fine until the build of 13/07, but recently I've updated the build to the 13/08 one and it seems the script no longer is able to set the kernel to permissive, because my init.d scripts are longer executed. I haven't tested with the just released build yet, but I expect it will not work there too.

So what I'd like to ask you is that if you can either update that script or document what/how/where it does the patching so I can try to fix it myself. Can you help me out?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The script that sets the kernel into permissive mode should still be working. It is just appending "androidboot.selinux=permissive selinux=0" to the boot command line. You can verify the system is in permissive mode by looking in Settings --> About tablet (SELinux status). It should say "Permissive" if its working correctly.

Although, I would recommend updating to the latest ROM and not setting it to permissive mode. Then, check the logs to see what selinux is actually blocking, like this:

adb shell su -c dmesg | grep denied

This command will tell you what is being blocked by selinux so the policy can be fixed if necessary. Please post back any denials in the log.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] cronot:
My apologies - it turns out I was being thrown off by my funky setup. I have a script that's run last on the init process that sets selinux back to enforcing (I only need permissive for init.d support). Coincidentally the link2sd script was not mounting my sdcard partition, so I assumed the kernel was not permissive on boot, but once I've disabled the script that sets selinux back to enforcing I verified that the kernel was still on permissive after Android booted up. After a little more digging I realized the link2sd script had an unrelated problem that was preventing the partition to mount. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Well, as I said before, I only need permissive mode for init.d support and nothing else. AFAIK init.d support not working with selinux enforcing kernels is a known problem in many other devices (if not all of them), but if you feel like trying to work around this limitation I'll be glad to help! Let me know if you want me to.

Thanks a lot!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The updated WCNSS firmware seems to improve the wifi file transfer speeds. Thanks!
