Hi. Few days ago, after an OTA update, my battery was draining, and I realized the SD card (64gb Samsung class10) was remounting non stop. So I tried everything to format it, including twrp. Then tried it on my phone, no solution, and today on my laptop, no good. In a way laptop it even show the capacity, and the option to format, but it says the SD card is write protected. I tried every solution about this write protect in 2 laptops, no luck. I tried sd formatter as well, same thing. Any tips? Ty.

Any hint?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dadaa1:
Slow charging with this rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] lentm:
The same happened on my friend's micro sd card.

I found out it was a fake from China that's bought from eBay.

BTW, that error's from the corrupted sdcards.

If you're sure it's not a fake one, try search about it on Youtube. There's a way.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Luca2903:
It's not a fake, but aparenttly it's a garbage model anyway.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Giaki:
Yes it's a bit slow at charging but it has always been. Would be interesting if it's been possible to speed up the process though
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
I put mine in 'Airplane' status mode and the ROM seems to charge much faster. Also, set in 'Airplane', standby seems to use less battery. It takes only a second or so to connect back up. Try it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Razorfoot:
Also, one more thing I found out that improves charging time is using a better USB cable.

Here's a comparison between the stock LG (lower one) vs the MotoG's:

As you can see it has a big diameter and seems to be made of better material. I didn't measure how fast it charges but it is way better than the stock LG.

Hi all, is it possible to do an Upgrade from CM 12.1 and keep settigs and apps?

Anybody did it?

I read about probs with the sd card. Since I moved apps to it, could it be a showstopper?

Thanks for any helpfull answer.

New build released

with "speaker-mic" volume corrected and other upstream fixes and updates. Please let me know if the issue in skype/hangouts is fixed.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I just performed an echo test in Skype and it sounded perfect!

You really fixed it this time. Ten gold stars. Thank you! Great job!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Barracuda77777:
yes, i did it with mine, make sure you flash the gapps as well and wipe cache. after that you only need to flash the rom.

as with sd unmounting, i can say with 100% certainty its not a rom issue but rather the tgpe and brand of the sd card. i have not had a single unmount since i changed the sd card to a 64 gig one, as the unmounts were with lg roms or cm.

cheers for a great rom btw
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
I confirm that. Skype is now perfect. You are the man, Fefifofum!

Thank you again for transforming our G Pad in the best device running CM that I am aware of!

It is true. I think this ROM works even better than Google's Nexus 7 (2013) factory image. :) Best ROM ever.

A bit of off topic but... [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION], when you decide to change your mobile phone, please let all of us know: it would be fantastic to have CM on a phone maintened by you!

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Razorfoot:
Hey [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] one small detail that I noticed is that after we download a new update file via OTA the CM Updater keeps notifying that there is a new version available to download, instead of there is a new version ready to install.

If we choose to download it, the current file placed in our internal storage Is deleted.

I guess it should not work this way, right?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jesuita:
Can confirm with hangouts.

Thanks for your efforts, the rom is working flawlessly now.

In this version CyanogenMod 13.0 [20,160,324], began to have a problem that had not, microSD disconnect after the tablet enters sleep mode.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DKCN:
I am unable to find the option to move apps to SD Card. Would someone know how? Thank you.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The sdcard must be setup as internal storage, not portable storage, for this option to be available in marshmallow.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DKCN:
Am i correct that that means I can't use the SD Card on other device anymore?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Yes, when you format the sdcard as internal storage in marshmallow, it will be formatted as ext4 and it is not meant to be removed.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DKCN:
I hope you don't mind if I ask a few more questions, I don't want to make a mistake hehe. Would you advice on doing it though? When it is formatted, can I still make my own folders on it? And when I format the phone in TWRP, would that also erase all data inside the SD Card?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
When you install the sdcard as internal storage, it will integrate with your devices internal storage and appear as one drive. There is a way to access only the sdcard from the mount point in the system. Also, make sure to use TWRP 3.0 recovery because only that version supports sdcard as internal storage in marshmallow. TWRP 3.0 should be able to differentiate between the device's internal storage and the external sdcard.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
Deltadroid, on the same topic, few questions..

What are the advantages of using the sd as internal storage?

Does this method increase r/w speeds?

If you connect the gpad to pc via usb , is the collective internal storage accessible for transferring data to/from?

I dont remove my sd so im wondering if i should reformat the sd as internal storage, if there are advantages to doing so.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
The only noticeable advantage is being able to install apps to the sdcard and having more internal disk space for apps that don't have privileges to write their data to the sdcard as portable storage. Permissions are stricter for data as portable storage.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] kip_dynamite:
Just found out that with the current version it is possible to use an ext4 formatted sd card in external mode. That didn't work with the first cm13 versions.

Great if you want to use files >4gb...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DKCN:
What do you mean by this? Format the SD card using another program and it can then work both as an external SD and be recognised by the tablet as a possible location for apps?

does the speakers sound better with this rom than adrianom's aosp one? are they on pair with stock lg rom ?also is gamma fix included in the kernel?

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Rybber:
Hi

New to this rom, installed it on my v500 - great work, the tablet really shines and is faster than cm12.1. And doze rules :)

I discovered some issues though. When connected to a bluetooth speaker some game sounds will be distorted. Tried Hungry Shark Evolution. This does not happen when on internal speakers. Maybe it is related to 3D gaming?

Also, youtube videos sometimes freeze while the audio is still playing.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] joff1234:
Hi fefifofum,

Great rom and great work, big thanks! ?

Is there a chance to get ir blaster working?

I've read something about LG released some kernel source recently ...

Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
The YouTube thing is because you are playing a video at 1080p60, which are device can't handle. You'll have to play it at 720p60 then. It does play normal 720p and 1080p without issues.

Thanks for making this possible. :highfive:

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
Why install SuperSU? I'm sure its baked into ROM already, just needs to be switched on in Developers Settings.

Yes I know, but App2sd tells to change some setting on SuperSu to works. I can not move app to ext sd.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Just use your sdcard as internal storage, not portable storage. Then you can move apps to the sdcard without needing any other programs.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mrcrowley70:
I tried that but the apps didn't move.

Anyway, now I would like to repair the tablet.

Should I wipe something ??

Why not? Try that. (Flashing the ROM - not reset)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jt1998:
i'm pretty sure I held it over 30 seconds but I'll try again. Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
If you keep your finger pressed on power button for about 10 seconds you should see the LG logo flash on screen for a split second, then release power button. Then press power till the logo reappears. Then it should continue booting.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
It also could have run out of battery. Plug it into a computer's USB port and leave it there for at least ten minutes. It should display the LG logo and start offline charging.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jt1998:
I have done everything suggested. All possibilities explored. I had it on my pc for at least 4-6 hrs, no luck. Then to a wall charger for about 2 hours, nothing. Tried different USB cables, etc. I pressed and held power for up to 60 seconds and nothing happened. Did the trick with power held, plug it in, then release power and still nothing. Tried pressing hold power and then plugging in same time - nothing. I've tried the above with my microSD card in and ejected out. Tried recovery, download modes, etc. NOTHING. I'm gonna let it sit for day or so unplugged, then try it all over again....

After that, I don't know what to do short of buying another tablet. I bought this used on eBay over a year ago.....

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] auleu:
does your computer see it under device manager? the same thing happened to me with the first gen n7, it turned out that the bootloader got erased which was a very common problem with the tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jt1998:
are you talking to me?? When I connect it to my PC, nothing happens. Don't see it under device manager. If that happened, what can I do now that I can't turn it on?????
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] auleu:
try holding power button with vol up and down at the same time for a few seconds, also when plugged to pc hold the power button and see if it briefly appears. as a very last resort you can try to remove the back cover and replug the battery. if the problem is the bootloader then basically the motherboard is dead.

Thank you for your work with our tablet.

I can only upgrade to CM13 when xmodgames work on it. Until there I'm stuck to lollipop!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ol31:
Hello

just intalled CM13 after a factory reset (clean install, no update, just kept data/media as is).

One strange issue : each time I want to install something from Playstore I get a "Error -504" first time and if I retry right after it works. Always the same : need to click on install 2 times.

Any idea ?

I'm not having any issues with the latest marshmallow base gapps package I posted with the latest play store 6.05.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] pbgapski:
updated info after factory reset

I have made a factory reset on the tablet and formatted the sdcard. Point 1 is gone as expected.

Point 2: audio streaming stops when the tablet is left alone. As far as I can tell, wifi disconnects after a while after the tablet sleeps. I am not sure if this is power management issue or if the app has to be upgraded to M to prevent deep sleep.

Point 3: I have tried using 2 sdcards (32Gb class 4 and 32Gb class 6). Formatting on TWRP with ext4 or f2fs was a no-go for me. In all cases the card was not mounted and android prompts with "corrupted card". Using the card setup prompts with a card format in both options. Choosing 'external storage' option works, but produces a vfat sdcard. Using the 'internal setup' option hangs at 'formatting card 20%' with both cards.

Please post if you have a working recipe for using a sdcard without vfat :fingers-crossed:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I've noticed that this ROM connects at 65 Mbps with 2.4 GHz and the stable cm 12.1 ROM connects at 72 Mbps with 2.4 GHz.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Cal:
I'm back on 12.1 (mostly), as I really like the stability of Fefi's ROM with everything that I need working.

I firmly believe that the card issues must be their sizes, and perhaps their speed ratings. That opinion with my limited experience.

I have seen no one I know that has had a problem with smaller cards, or older ones, and all generally formatted as vfat. But of course this has exceptions, a does everything else. Guess it all boils down to the kernel instruction and the fact that all of these tablet manufactures use some proprietary twists and turns that are h*ll to figure out and find IMO.

Still think if anyone can do a solid job with Marshmallow - Fefifofum will do it first for out LG-500's. I for one will stay bouncing back and forth between the distros. See some good in Marshmallow, but too many so called *security* issue for me! :)

Hello everyone, I tried to install a CM 12.1 theme on CM13... bad idea. Since then I have a permanent "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." at startup...

Tried to clean cache and dalvik, still the same... Any idea how I can restore std theme without wiping all and reinstalling the ROM & Gapps ?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Hold the power button to get the boot menu, then tap and hold the 'power off' button. It then allows you to boot into safe mode. From there, remove the theme and reboot.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ol31:
thanks !
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
This is CyanogenMod, not my custom rom, so I will not add adb client. I guess you can find the binary somewhere and add it yourself.

You can try, I didn't do it since the rom has built-in root.

As you can see in logcat, vold has support for several fs, not only fat32. I don't know why they don't work, it could be an upstream bug or a new "feature" of marshmallow. Maybe someone who has cm-13.0 on other device can confirm this.

On the first post I recommend a gapps package. I think it would be best if we all used the same package, that way it's easier to test bugs. If you use a different gapps package and have problems, maybe you should ask in the thread where you found that gapps package. I have no problems with [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] gapps package.

Go to advanced wifi settings and set wifi to never sleep, maybe that solves your streaming audio issues. About sdcard fs, I don't know, I will try to find out if there is something I can do about it.

Wifi driver and all its settings are the same as in cm-12.1, so I don't know why you don't have 72 Mbps. Maybe a log can help figuring it out.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

Maybe the issue was fixed in the second release, or maybe it was just my router, but, the tablet is now connecting at 72Mbps with this ROM too. The ROM seems to be working the same as the stable cm 12.1 now. :)

So I tried to flash this and ended up stuck in a bootloop and I can't seem to get back into TWRP.

Things I flashed in order: bootloader (included in this thread) > rom > gapps > supersu

Any suggestions for getting out of the bootloop or reflashing TWRP or is it easiest to just revert everything to stock and try again?

Thanks!

CM Updater says "Update download was unsuccessful" - MD5 verification failed.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
What kind of bootloop, in LG splash screen logo, or in CyanogenMod bootanimation? When you power on the device with the button combination to go into recovery, what happens? What version of TWRP did you have? I need more information to be able to help you. I don't know, but maybe installing supersu could cause bootloops (in CyanogenMod bootanimation). You should be able to boot into recovery using the button combination, unless you had an old recovery and installing the bootloader broke it too. In that case you will need to revert to stock and start again.

In case you don't know how to boot into recovery using the button combination, this is how it's done: power off the device and disconnect usb if attached. Press buttons vol- and power at the same time and keep them until LG logo shows up, then release both of them and press all three buttons at the same time (power, vol- and vol+) and keep them pressed. You will get to the factory reset screen, pressing power button twice will get you into recovery. The timing of the button combinations is tricky, so maybe you have to try more than once.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
don't flash supersu, use internal root.

because i wanted to update anyway i tried supersu(2.52) on 30.11. -> bootloop.

cm13 doesn't work with supersu on any of my devices.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] colwellkr:
Thanks for the response. It gets stuck in the CyanogenMod boot animation. I did try booting into TWRP with the button combination but there's an error which I will type out below. I believe I had one of the newer version of TWRP (at least 2.7 or 2.8 though I don't know off the top of my head). The only think I can think of is that installing the bootloader may have broken it.

The only thing I can think of is that all that data represents what was in the registers when it crashed?

Thanks for the help! Let me know if there is any other information I can provide you.

That makes sense. I guess we know now that SuperSU doesn't work right now. Were you able to fix it somehow or did you have to reflash? This would be as much of an issue for me if I could just access TWRP... Thanks!
