So you still need to learn what AOSP is all about.

Perhaps you should learn how to compile a firmware with all of your amazing features and fixes, then you can release it here so we can all be amazed at how awesome you are.

[Edit] Maybe you should try the CM13 firmware, it might have the things you want.

Great ROM, so far everything I use works fine plus the tab is definitely faster than before.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fauert:

This rom is molten gold, but the volume is still very poor

I not return to stock or crazy... great work

If yo u have root install quickbootwhich gives you many boot options
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Yep... Also possible CWM ROM-manager, has a nice boot-widget which I implemented 3x, each with a different 'option' and accordingly labelled.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Kyiv.Ukraine:
A general question.

Could somebody explain why all these ROMs or firmware are not distributed as .kdz files for easy installation with LG update tool? Why is firmware separate from boot and some other stuff? Is not there a way to overwrite all internal storage start to finish with one image file?

When I bought my V500 , I was hoping that there would be an easy way to install firmware for GPE GPad 8.3, but it is not happening. V500 and GPE are physically identical devices with maybe different identifier, why is there no patched GPE firmware for installing to V500?

I still can not root my V500 5.0.2. I have tried latest iRoot, KingRoot and LG One click root. I also have LG G2 F320 with stock 5.0.1 and LG L90 with stock 5.0.2. On LG G2 I could get root with LG One Click Root and on L90 I could get root with KingRoot, but on both phones I could not install TWRP for some reason. I did not expect it to be such pain in the ass to install these ROMs after updating V500 with korean .kdz was easy and worked on first try.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeuf37:
I agree for the speaker sound. I made head to head comparison here. But the jack sound quality is not impacted
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
You are talking about proprietary LG formats in a thread about a ROM based on Cyanogen Mod. If you upgraded to 5.0.2 using the kdz, this is why you can't root it, that kdz installed the newer bootloader that has patched some issues and blocks a lot of the previous boot methods. You should flash version 20D of the ROM in kdz format (there are some downgrade tutorials around), root your ROM, install a custom recovery and then use zips to flash any new ROMs. Even the 5.0.2 ROM is available in zip format.

I hope I helped you understand that no developer will be able to provide a ROM in the proprietary (closed soursc) format of the manufacturer.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Hmmm, almost correct.... ROM is not based on CM... and [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] maintains a tutor to downgrade the bootloader, no need to search for *kdz.

cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
My bad, this one is based on AOSP. This applies to any ROM, as I mentioned. Since the original poster said that his tablet does not have root, downgrading only the bootloader may not be possible. I assume that this downgrade method uses a custom recovery.

The method is HERE and the specific post for Lollipop is HERE (as long as you have root).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Kyiv.Ukraine:
Same question again.

Thank you for your answers, but my question was more general. I am wondering why ROMs are not distributed with bootloader and recovery as a single image file for easy installation, just like .kdz files. The fact that .kdz is proprietary is not an issue. One can use some other format and make update tool for flashing it to a device.

Why people who bother to make a ROM, do not bother to make or include bootloader and recovery in a single image file for easy installation? Licensing apparently is not an issue since using patched update tools and custom recovery software is against licensing and use terms as well.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] onolox:
There's a way to have the knock code in this AOSP ROM? This is a deal breaker for me.

Except that, is everything working fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Double Tap to Wake works fine. I don't think the Knock Code can be implemented. It requires a lot if LG Framework.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
There are apps that can provide this. Search for ”knock lock” on Play Store and you'll find some there.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
This is the first time l ever hear a request like this. I think the cause is that, even with unlocked and rooted devices we do not have such a low level access. The other reason is that there will be a lot more bricked devices if everything is flashed at once. Bootloader and recovery are not supposed to be flashed very frequently. And there are so many devices that a universal tool cannot exist.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] annoyingduck:
So far this latest build is running really nice. It's only been a day, but the only bug I've come across so far for me is that the brightness setting seems to change between boots and screen off/on. Not a big deal, just wanted it noted. I'm all set up with Xposed & gravity box, all layers themes I've tried are working great. Stock MM with Gravity box and Layers is really the ultimate experience. I really am loving this tablet again. Thank you for giving us these great builds.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hordarian:
Just wondering if I've done something wrong. Clean flash of the latest version, using TWRP 3. How long should first boot take? It's just fading the android logo in and out and has been doing so for a long time.

I remember the previous versions did this for 5 minutes or so, but this one has been substantially longer so far (including some reboot attempts)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Did you flash SuperSU? If yes what version? If you are using system less root, the ROM won't boot.

Flash SuperSU 2.52.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] onolox:
I had searched for, but none of them are even near the quality/functionality of the LG Knock Code.

They are gimmicks at most.

Oh, and thanks for this great pure AOSP build.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I had real issues when I tried to flash SuperSU 2.65 or the 2.67 beta. I ended up having to use Download Mode to go back to stock, then reinstall the latest AOSP with an even older SuperSU (2.46) as I don't have the 2.52 on-hand. Seems fine now, but what an adventure.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
With LG devices it's always an adventure. BTW, there is a link posted to 2.52 few posts back. You can get it if you want.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] hordarian:
Yes, I flashed latest SuperSU as part of my normal routine. A total wipe of internal storage and reinstall of ROM and its behaving fine now. Thanks for the pointer!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Sak1978:
Hello I am new with all these. I have flashed the 18-11-2015 version. How can I update to the latest version of 7-2-2016? And if update to this will I lose all my files and games progress? Thanks in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Colchiro:
You want to "dirty flash" 7-2.

Make a backup in TWRP before flashing in case anything goes bad. Then clear cache, but not data and you won't lose anything.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] onolox:
The 5.0 and 5.1 was not working well, they had some serious bugs, but this 6.0 version is working flawless.

Many thanks!

Brick after flashing SU

Hi,

This AOSP android 6.0.0 is a very great work! 1000 thanks.

But i've a hardbrick after flashing su v2.65 with twrp 3.0.0.

I've no access to the download mod or factory reset mod now ...

Thanks for help
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Search. It was discussed few posts back. Reboot in recovery, wipe, flash ROM and SuperSU 2.52. Just read 2-3 pages. All the needed information is there.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jemsgaelle:
Ok, but i can't reboot in recovery mode ! G Pad stay with the message " secure booting error ..." :(
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Secure booting error is nothing to be scared. Turn off you tablet, volume down + power. Let go power. Then press all three till you get to recovery. Long press power to get into recovery
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] manosgk80:
I have been trying the key combination for the past hour but no success so far....And I have had always success with that.Do you guys thing that it might be a ROM issue somehow after all?Volume down + power,I am letting go power. Then pressing all three at the same time but the screen just gets brighter and that's it,no recovery whatsoever,the tablet just boots to the ROM as normal.Also i can not download anything from the Play Store.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GoPackGo90:
I think you have to let go of both the volume down and the power (not just let go of power), then hold all 3.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
If you can get in the ROM, can you just use flashify to flash recovery again? And then push some of these reboot apps from another android device that can get to play store. Like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scartech.hololightreboot
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
There is a video on YouTube showing his to boot in recovery. Again, I have posted the link in the thread. You should be able to find it. You have to try few times before you will succeed. Keep trying.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] manosgk80:
Well sadly for those i have to gain root access which I can not do...You see I flashed the latest SuperSU build...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo3YfszOPsQ

Follow this to boot in recovery.

Even though the Screen says, reset, do not worry. I will boot in recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] manosgk80:
Yeah I know about this,every time I had problems I used it and had success every time.But not this time,I don't know what is going on.

UPDATE: I can download apps from the Play Store right now (!!!) but of course no Root access.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
You can try rebooting in recovery using adb

adb reboot recovery
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nilssongrey:
Open the Terminal Emulator and type reboot recovery and hit enter.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] manosgk80:
ΙΤ WORKED!!!!!!!!

Can't thank you enough!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jemsgaelle:
Yessss ! You saved me :)

So i've recupere AOSP 6.0.1, but the flash of su v2.52 / v2.46 don't work for me ...

Twrp say: no MD5 file found

Failed to map file .... v2.52

Error installing zip file ...v2.52

Same with v2.46

No chance for me
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Sorry. Can you adb reboot to recovery?

Edit: Or in terminal as that fixed your issue I see.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Reverend2008:
I have this issue too - I have successfully flashed the new AOSP and indeed, the one before it, but when I attempt to regain Root or flash SuperSU, my device locks up at the LG screen with a security boot invalid kinda warning (sorry, not near tablet currently) -- same as manosgk80.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Your issue is SuperSU higher that 2.52. Flash SuoerSU 2.52 and you should be good. This has been discussed a hundred times I guess.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] popezaphod:
I grabbed the SuperSU 2.52 listed earlier in this thread and flashed it no problem over the 2.4x version. Loving this ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Reverend2008:
Not where I could find it :) But anyway, thanks very much for giving me the info.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

My installation gets stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally......."

Tried several different times. I am upgrading from android 5 AOSP ROM. Updated TWRP to 3 before installation. I tried installing AOSP android 5 to make sure I didn't do anything crazy and it installs just fine. I am doing a clean install.

.Nevermind....it seems the ROM I downloaded got corrupted. I downloaded it again and the installation in progressing forward now.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Willisme1:
I did a quick search through the thread and couldn't find anything related to this problem so I'm going to ask it here:

Does anyone occasionally come back to their tablet and find that the screen won't turn on? And that the only way to reboot it is a volume down + lock button combination? I've had this problem on both this build and the older 5.1.1 builds so I don't know why its doing that.

I don't know if theres anyway to debug this seeing as I can't willingly replicate it, but it seems to be more than a one-off thing for me.

P.S. Brilliant rom though, makes this £70 tablet into one hell of a good tool for university :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Seems you did impose a securitylock. Maybe reset lock to its default. Otherwise i dunno what it can be caused by...

cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Willisme1:
Hmmm, all of my security settings are off because I have a magnetic flip case and the tablet never leaves my room... I'll keep an eye on it and try to work out when it happens. It's a worthy trade-off for the functionality/smoothness on this ROM.

It puts my note 4 to shame quite often, such as in OneNote performance!

Has anyone tried the system only version of SuperSU so it doesn't modify the boot partition?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jerflash:
Yup this rom does not work with system less root because it tries to patch the boot image instead. We don't have unlock bootloader so I think when this is done it messes with the boot image to much.

Download and flash this zip in twrp and then upgrade supersu in the playstore and update binaries. Works like a charm!

BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] souleman:
I changed my post, because I had written it before I started to look back much. Thought it might be a problem with the Feb update. I haven't changed anything on my tablet in well over 1.5 years until today.

There is a version of the latest SU that is System only. I'm debating attempting it, because it should work, but at the same time, if 2.52 is working, why change it?

It would be nice to be updated in OP to NOT get a version that does systemless root, though you should actually read through the thread, not just flash things randomly like I did :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jerflash:
Either version you use, as long as it does not touch the boot partition you will be fine. I just use 2.52 since I know it works then you just update the binaries. Did you try 2.67?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] souleman:
Not yet. I'm going to read the install script and make sure it doesn't touch the boot partition first. Buy had to leave home for a bit, so will check later.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] souleman:
Just installed 2.65 System Mode (found Here ) and so far not having any issues.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] xceebeex:
So I am trying to flash this ROM and seem to be having trouble getting past the android logo on bootup. I rooted and wiped everything, then installed TWRP, then SU v2.52 and then the ROM. It won't go past the android logo. What am I doing wrong?

It has been discussed a few times. DO NOT flash anything higher than SuperSU 2.52 Beta.

To fix your issue, you have to reboot in recovery using Button Combo. Watch video below.

Even though your screen will say, Hard Reset on the screen, go ahead and push power button. You will enter TWRP.

Now you can clean flash ROM and SuperSU 2.52 Beta.

You tab should be up and running.
