High,

First of all, you'll need replacing the recovery with the TWRP designed for this device (do NOT install SU when TWRP proposes it). You can use root*rashr for that or Flashify (recommended).

Next you reboot into that TWRP and flash the ROM, OpenGapps of your choice ('micro' recommended) and finally SU 2.79 SR2 SYSTEMMODE. Don't get tempted to install any other (newer) version of SU, you'll get a softbrick.

After all the flashing, reboot and let the device acclimatize for an hour.

For ease of flashing etc. it's highly recommended to put all your needed downloads (TWRP, ROM, OpenGAPPS, SU) on an empty SD. I always use a seperate card for flashing. The files are all linked in the OP. Don't unpack any of the zips, TWRP will do that for you.

Cheers

Netflix isn't compatible?

I installed Netflix from the Play Store. When trying to launch Netflix, I get this error message:

and a link.

Does anyone know if I have to install an older version? I searched here to no help unfortunately.

Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Wingchundub:
Love it, Brought new life to my son's v500 from olde 4.4.2.

Everything working well, but i will come back with information if anything doesn't work and search first before asking repeated questions.

Thank you so much for this, Much apprecaited
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Wingchundub:
Well it didnt last long :(

The link for superSU 2.79 SR2 SYSTEMMODE is no longer available, so i search for it and flashed it via flashify and now softbricked

Will have to reflash stock 4.4.2 again, root that and then start again with this, just need to know how to root this rom?

Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
High,

Strange, but if you still have TWRP accessible, just reflash the lot again. If 2.79 doesn't work, look for 2.78 SR1 or SR3, SR2 gives problems...

Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Wingchundub:
Ok i have 2.78 sr1, and went through all of it again and bam, soon as supersu flashed via twrp i get the SECURE BOOTING ERROR again arrrrrrrrrgh

I have upgraded the super super to pro ver 2.82 and so far it is working fine. I did not know that we just have to use 2.79. Anyway, just so if anyone is interested what would happen if upgrading SU.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
The issue appeared when SuperSU started installing systemless mode by default. That version works pretty well with our tablet on any custom Rom.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Updated and, as usual, no issues. The newer SU seems to do it also, just didn't retain the apps listed in allowed

Thanks

Secure Booting Error is due to having SYSTEMLESS installed before. Try getting back to stock with the LG-tool and then install TWRP straight after that via Flashify. Once TWRP working , just flash the lot again. Meanwhile I learned that v2.82 SYSTEMLESS also works (I flashed it without issues)...

Good luck
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Wingchundub:
Ive reflashed stock, will root and install twrp.

I have downloaded the new update 7.1.2 along with thw 2.79 systemmod su in original post.

I installed "open_gapps-arm-7.1-mini-20170528" and SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE along new version of this rom, when press SETUP AS NEW i get black screen and it goes back to blue welcome screen and say WIZARD HAS STOPPED?

Coming to the end of my patience with this now.

Never had so much trouble with roms, etc on any other android device, making me look like a fool and a noob.

Just this damn lg
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] kk1892:
Thank you. for good rom :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
Go into recovery again, wipe /data, /system, /cache and use Beans Dynamic Gapps. These are the Gapps that worked for me an others, without exception. I also got tired of trying to find the OpenGapps package that works and I went for Beans Dynamic Gapps. There is no need to reflash kdz if anything goes wrong, just try to reboot into recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
I know the feeling, don't worry. Just reboot (a few times if need be) and it'll settle.

Hi, can anyone share the lastest version of TWRP for this tablet?

I´m trying to revive my old g pad.

edit: forget it, already found it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Wingchundub:
For anyone else needing this answer, simply download the official twrp app from google play store, make sure you're rooted first.

When it open's, click SELECT DEVICE and scroll down the list til you see LG GPAD 8.3.

Tap it, choose either v500 or v510 depending on youre model, in my case v500, tap it.

A list of images appear, choose latest one which currently is twrp-3.1.1-0-v500.img and tap it, you will be directed to download page, tap img file under the section THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING TWRP.............

It will download, once finished, simply press back once only and your back in twrp.

Now tap on SELECT FILE TO FLASH and you will find it in the downloads folder, tap small box to right of file and then tap SELECT.

Now tap on FLASH TO RECOVERY, then OK.

That's it, latest twrp now on your v500 :)

[MENTION=4531421]Wingchundub[/MENTION]: I use Nova Launcher, it can import layout from other launchers (with a reasonable degree of success), it can create backup of layouts, it can easily use other icons from icon packs and it has a ton of option to customize.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tareumlaneuchie:
I have a recurrent problem with this ROM... I can't download anything from chrome, firefox or adblock browser. All the downloads are stalled and can't be resumed. I did flash this particular ROM, along with latest Gapps. I wiped cache/dalvik but still no go. I can see in the release note that this was an issue fixed in January or so, but I can't seem to get over it.

Any suggestions?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Are you using aggressive doze or greenify? If yes, it can be responsible.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tareumlaneuchie:
Greenify is what I am actually trying to download and install lol....

So no, I am not using either.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] kartasos:
I use Nova Launcher and i change all this thing's
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
LOL..

Never had this issue. Another reason can be that play store/ play services updating in the background. Hence you cannot download anything.

I have never seen this issue on this ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
I downloaded the SU 2.82 straight from XDA thread without problems in Firefox.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Wingchundub:
I installed from googleplay WEB BROWSER-SECURE EXPLORER to download the twrp img as i was having same issue using maxathon browser.

Continued with updating apps etc and i have just installed chrome to test for you as i dont use it normally.

And i download the mobdro apk perfectly without issue.

Will be removing chrome thou lol.

I have install my fav maxathon again and all is well also.

What Gapps did you use as i found that it is these that can and do mess with rom.

I personally installed as directed by a good member the BeansGapps-Full-7.1.x-20170509 and tablet has been spot on.

My son loves it and i steal it every so often lol to do tests.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Whilst testing for another member, i have come to find a fault.

I decided to just use camera and test and all i get is a blank screen?

Seems to be camera app on rom is the issue, so disabled it in settings and installed OPEN CAMERA from google play store and all is good :)

To remove recent apps in this launcher, simply tab the SQUARE icon lol.

I'll get there haha

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] georgevac:
How can we solve this issue?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
I once had this problem too, just when systemless SU started appearing. The solution that worked for me : reset to original ROM (via LG Tool) , and start over again rooting, TWRP, ROM, GApps and SYSTEM SU 2.79 SR2 or 2.82 SR1... Lot's of work I kno,, but it can be done in an hour or so (provided you have all the tools ready).

Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] knasiotis:
I've got the same problem, tried all the superSUs in the source
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] georgevac:
I solve this problem by using the lg support tool, then more characteristics and finaly upgrade error.

These step will install the factory rom.

Then you can do whatever you may want.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] gboybama:
My system wouldn't pass Google setup after boot until I went back to recovery and switched to Beans Gapps. Maybe the OP should update.

I made it worked now but without running setup wizard. Is it ok not running the setup wizard the 1st time?... what I did is, installed first the ROM then booted the system. Setup wifi+connect. rebooted to TWRP again, installed Gapps without wiping to factory reset. then rebooted to system. It started without running setup wizard...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] uzi2:
If everything is running as you want it that is fine. It is likely that the problem was caused by the version of Gapps that you are using, but I haven't heard of any specific issues with it. Many here are using Bean's Gapps, but I have stuck with open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170328 on the basis that if it ain't broke don't fix it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Wiping is waste of time, the installer does all needed cleanup... TWRP - rom + opengapps + SU in one flash, reboot wait 5 minutes and of you go. Flashing shouldn't take more as 10 minutes all in all.

Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] uzi2:
Not entirely true. For those that have flashed systemless SU in error, it is very important to wipe the system partition before installing the right combination of Rom, Gapps and SU.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
I'm assuming one comes from a previous working release. Might be a little overexpecting :) But, yes, those with wrong SU have a bit to restore. Iin that case I recommend to restore to original LG rom and restart all over againg with a fresh switch to AOSP.

My tablet (V500) had the latest stock. I installed TWRP, then from there installed all three (ROM, GApps andSuperSU) in one queue (all showed success) and wiped cache. Now I rebooted and the device is stuck on boot displaying "ANDROID". Any ideas?

UPDATE: I've managed to get into Recovery mode and re-flashed just the ROM and then wiped cache. I still see the same issue - the tablet starts booting, shows letters "Android" in the screen center and nothing else happens
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] uzi2:
Which Supersu did you install. Make sure it's systemless read the thread...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dark0shark:
Wait 20 to 40 minutes, first boot can take a very long time.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
The first time was the correct cue, you just had to wait some time longer. After flashing, first boot may take up to 10 minutes. I suggest you start all over again ROM, GApps and SU. After flashing just let it sit and reboot a few times. Flashing next releases will be faster, but first time is time consuming.

Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ubettercall911:
My tablet (V500) had the latest stock. I installed TWRP, then from there installed only the ROM.

After rebooting, the device was stuck displaying "android" . I was waiting 1 hour before I gave up and turned it off.

Any ideas? thanks.

UPDATE:

I tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache before installing, and i also added GAPPS and superSU zips to the install queue.

After that, the install wizard displayed, and now after selecting "Set up as new" in the "Welcome to your LG-V500" screen- the Wizard app crashed, and the device was rebooted.

Any ideas?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
What GApps did you use?

I suggest you use OpenGapps Micro or Nano. I personally use Micro and I have had no issues. I f I was you, I will do following.

1. Download ROM + GApps + SuperSU (latest SyetemMode) on PC.

2. Reboot in TWRP and wipe everything including internal storage + SD Card. This is not necessary. But I did it when I moved from Lollipop to Nougat. It helps getting rid of all the leftover files from your previous setup.

3. While still in TWRP, connect the tab to PC and copy ROM, GApps & SuperSU.

4. Flash ROM + GApps. If you want root, flash latest System Mode SuperSu.

5. Reboot. As suggested in previous posts, first boot an take several minutes. And your tablet will reboot few times before it finally boots up. Now hopefully you should be able to proceed with the setup.

Let us know how it goes.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] crogue5:

Do you know of any roms that might not be listed here on xda that work for the v510?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
I haven't seen much development for V510. I am afraid you do not have much options.

If you are good with computers, you can get into ROM building (compiling) yourself. I have heard it's not very difficult. :P
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ubettercall911:
Hi, thanks for your reply!

I have followed your instructions , step by step, and still - same problem.

The archives that I used:

ROM - aosp_v500-eng.adrianomartins-20170708

GAPPS - open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20170804

SuperSU - SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE

I cant understand what I'm doing wrong.

UPDATE:

I tried to reflash the rom and gapps several times - and nothing helped.

Then, I found a short video which explains how to SKIP the installation wizard. (LINK)

I just had to tap at the corners (top-left=>top-right=>bottom-right=>bottom-left), and it worked for me!

Thanks everyone for trying helping me.

Hey [MENTION=4297659]adrianom[/MENTION],

I've had your AOSP roms running on my G Pad ever since you started providing them. They're fast, smooth & keep this device alive, and I'm really grateful that you invest the time for this shrinking community. Still I wanna ask, what are your thoughts on Oreo for v500? I know this thing is pretty damn old now, but it would be awesome to have it receive even another major upgrade.

Thanks in advance.
