why I cant boot in recovery using hold power button + down etc?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] erghetto:
Being aosp it hasn't advanced reboot menu right?

To go directly in recovery i mean
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ronche2000:
you mean if I install this rom I can't reboot to recovery using power+down button? I only use flashify to boot in recovery mode
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Use Simple Reboot app by Fransisco Franco. It's available in Play Store.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ronche2000:
I just want to know if manual reboot in recovery working in this rom by pressing power + volume down button? because I can't boot to recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
There is no manual reboot for V500 using power + Volume Down. It was never there irrespective of the ROM you use. So, to answer your question, no..

Try using app i mentioned above or use terminal emulator to boot into recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Getting in recovery in this device takes a different sequence of power+ volume buttons than Nexus for example. Search the thread to find the exact sequence.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TheRed<:
Is it possible to update to this version via settings-about tablet-system updates?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Nope. Manual flash needed.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ronche2000:
While the phone is turned off, press and hold the Volume Down button. Then, while holding, press and release the Power button. Already did this but its not working.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woozle:
Because that isn't the sequence. Look through the thread again or just google it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ronche2000:
so what the sequence? thanks

NVM..problem solved.thanks

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fauert:
Here man .... :: Hold Power + Vol Down, Wait until LG Logo show up and release both buttons , quickly hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down again :silly:

Maybe try several time, you will succes ...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
If you are on the same ROM, wiping cache, dalvik and system should do. Don't forget to flash ROM + GApps. And Super SU if you need root.

I was on previous version of this ROM (Guess 1st November release). I flashed ROM, GApps and SuperSU without wiping anything. I like it dirty.. :P
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ronche2000:
I think dont release THE VOL DOWN only power then hold POWER + VOL UP while holding the VOL down
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Dude, if you are rooted, use Simple Reboot App from Play Store.

If you are not rooted, use terminal emulator app from play store. Open the app, type reboot recovery and hit enter. You should be in recovery. Why so much fuss??

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Edwin184:
Great update. The freezes in my browser I was having are gone ??. One question: I don't have the Pixel launcher anymore. Due to dirty flash and reflashing GApps ? or is it removed from this build?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
You have to select it. I use OpenGapps, I removed the Google Launcher and added Pixel launcher. Check your settings. OpenGApps package lets you save your selected packages.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Edwin184:
Sorry, indeed my own bad; flashed the wrong (Micro) GApps.

[Snapdragon] Weak 2.4ghz WIFI Perfomance FIX:

Problem: G pad 8.3 (and MANY others) wireless module ignoring HT40 mode for 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless and working only in HT20 mode (75mbit)

HT40 is disabled by default in Qualcomm WCNSS wlan driver source. Also the default config file for this driver doesn't contains line to enable this feature for 2.4GHz (but contains line for 5GHz). It's a Qualcomm FAIL.

If default config is used while compiling kernel - our tablet will never use HT40 mode.

Solution:

Modify system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini with any root allowed editor by adding line

gChannelBondingMode24GHz=1

save and reboot

it will almost DOUBLE 2.4ghz throughput for your device (from ~20-40mbps to ~40-80mbps, depends on air and distance)

(note: your wifi router AP have to be configured to use HT40 mode also, but most AP's have this feature by default).

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeffjoker:
Upgraded to the 11/12 build, still ahve the WiFi issue

Tried Salych work around/patch, actually made it worse, Wifi wouldn't start at all !!!

With the latest build, the wifi issue/behaviour is a bit different

It seems to be able to keep the wifi when fully on but as soon as any battery saving operation starts (screen dimming...) it loses it and struggles to get it back

Sometimes manages rapidly, sometimes takes forever
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
One other thing I would like to mention is that Android Security Patch is still November 5th 2016. The WiFi issue is still also present. It connects to my home WiFi, seems to not have Internet for a while, then disconnect and connect again until, at some point, it detects it has Internet and stays connected.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
I don't have wifi issues on 2.4ghz. that is not to say that the issue is not there just that the issue is not present in all situations. I can't try 5ghz at this point however
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Stransky:
Fortunately I have no WiFi problems with this rom, both 2.4 ghz and 5ghz working properly.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Edwin184:
I also have WIFI problems. However after I switched to WIFI always on it is not that frequent anymore.

But when I experience the WIFI problems the only way to recover is to reboot as the tablet doesn't see any WIFI network any more whatever I do.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GAWRRELL:
I've installed this version but google play is not installed by default and when I've installed from apk source it won't start.

The only apps installed are: Calc, Camera, Contacts, Clock, Gallery, Email.

P.S.

I get an error when on install(using twrp) e: unknown command [log]
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
Ignore that error in TWRP. Did you also flash GApps package? It is mandatory.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GAWRRELL:
Yup, it's working now. Thanks.

But those apps shouldn't be installed by default when you install Android 7.x?... I think it's way more better.

P.S.

Funny thing is that after GApps install I have two Calendar apps, Email, etc .... this GApps package it doesn't replace the existing apps.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
No, it gives you the possibility to choose what to install, you can skip some apps if you want.

ADM Pro: WIFI goes when the screen goes on shared cellular!

Hello and thanks for this great rom. I have the latest version (11/12) and Since I had a clean install, I have nearly zero problem with this rom other than I don't know if there is a "Theme Engine" that can work with this rom and my main problem which is when using ADM Pro, using my own wireless router it works fine but when i share my phone's 3G (Lumia 640XL Windows 10 Mobile RedStone I) the download stops as soon as the screen goes off. :(

Update: So apparently ADM Pro works fine with internal storage but the SD card goes to sleep somehow when the screen goes off!!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
The ROM supports Substratum Theme in Legacy Mode.

Get it from play store.

For your Wi-Fi issue, I'm not sure. But do you use Naptime or Use aggressive doze mode?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vahid2081:
Thank you. I have Substratum Legacy but it opens with a warning for 7.1! I'm not using Naptime nor Aggressive doze.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
You can ignore the warning. I'm using Substratum with any issues.

If at all you run in to boot loop, boot in TWRP and flash rescue zip inside Substratum folder.

Not sure about wi-fi problem.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Edwin184:
On the Wifi problem, I don't know if it is realy a bypass but I have switched my tablet in airplane mode and then switched Wifi on (so I have the airplane symbol AND Wifi symbol in the status bar). I have not experienced the Wifi problem since then (three days now). So maybe you can also try this as bypass.

Update: I should have knocked on wood. After 3,5 days wifi was dead again and I had to reboot. So this is no bypass!!

More WIFI Problems . . .

I also have the various wifi issues mentioned and have tried modifying the system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file as suggested. At first it seemed to work. But no, the problem has returned even turning off the Wifi altogether and not allowing me to turn it back on again in settings. Most times a reboot seems to sort it out. Tried a fresh install to see if its a program installed or change of a setting that's causing the problem, but even with a basic install, I still get the problem. Have tried open gapps pico / nano / and micro to see if this could be a problem but no :( and, yes, I am using the recommended SuperSU. Have been flashing roms since Jelly bean so although I may not follow all the programming involved I an familiar with the practice of it. This Wifi problem seems to be the only one I personally have but it is a major one :( Love AOSP and Love Nougat on my V500 and don't really want to revert to MM.

I see that "Last Updated" on page 1 shows "2016-11-17". However the download link still takes me to the

aosp_v500-eng.adrianomartins-20161112.zip file. Is this an error or is the new update still awaited?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woozle:
I've been using a 128GB Sandisk (as portable storage) without any problems. It definitely does support SDXC.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Edwin184:
Easiest way is to use a terminal app and give command "reboot recovery"
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
20161112 is the latest. I also don't have the wifi issues, but they seem to pop their ugly head from build to build. Im also thinking that their might be two or more hw versions. And some versions of the ROM work better with some versions of the ROM and some work better with others.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fenio:
I'm also having WiFi issues. From time to time it simply disconnects (usually after screen is deemed and then when it tries to reconnect it goes into weird loop and connects, says there is no internet and immediately reconnects, says there is no internet and so on... after few (sometimes dozen) times it eventually detects that there is internet and stays connected.

Other than that I love that ROM but well WiFi is somehow crucial for me as I don't have 3G in my tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] 5nickers:
maybe i am lucky but until now i don't have wifi issues, on the other hand i only run this ROM for 2,5 days now.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Stransky:
There must definitely be differences between the various LG v500 8.3" tablets because I have had this tablet

Since it first appeared in U.K. And I have had no issues as described on any Rom that I have installed and especially not with this one which runs perfectly WiFi included both 2.4 and 5ghz.

awifi vs V500

Is there a difference between V500 and awifi model because I tried too flash the ROM but I got the message that mine was an AWIFI and the ROM was for V500.

So if anyone know of something for the awifi that would be really great :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] akaloith:
I installed on top of the android 6 of adrianomartins

I wiped dalvik cache and system and then installed 1) aosp_v500-eng.adrianomartins-20161112.zip 2) open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20161122.zip 3) SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SYSTEMMODE.zip

is this ok?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Yeah, that's perfect. Though you can skip wiping dalvik and cache as those are automatically wiped during update.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] akaloith:
I did not wipe data, is this ok? my previous rom is android 6 of adrianomartins

when a new update is here should i keep on wiping system?

should i keep installing later open gapps & supersu?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
V500 is awifi, V510 is the Google Play Edition (named palman). What Rom are you using now? And what recovery?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
Nope, you can flash newer on top. But you should indeed flash latest version of OpenGApps and the SU.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ronche2000:
wifi always disconnect. hoping problem solve in next update. thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Erpinoob:
Ok thanks, I'll try again ??

The only problem is that it's quite annoying restore with kdz, I hoped there was another way to recover the tablet (I'd just need to reboot into recovery to flash a bump script or the correct SuperSU) but probably not, so I'll try the rom in the next few days and then report ??

[MENTION=4570506]indian84[/MENTION] I'll do so as soon as I restore the tablet, thanks ??

Inviato dal mio LG-D855 utilizzando Tapatalk
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] indian84:
Of course there is another way.

Just boot into TWRP, wipe as usual and flash. You don't need to flash KDZ. Use button key combination to boot into TWRP. If you don't know about it, search in Google and you will see a video to boot V500 into TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
So you have rooted it with SuperSu system-mode? Could STABLE-SuperSU-v2.65-SYSTEMMODE.zip work? This is the one I used on MarshMallow. For the latest SuperSU system-mode (safe to flash on our G Pad) check HERE.

Edit: Do you still have the SD card issue? Did you have it on MarshMallow?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Erpinoob:
I already knew there is a combination, but it doesn't work, because I press firstly volume down and power button, but then I can't release power button and press all the buttons because the "secure booting error" is already appeared

I'm trying, but without success. Only twice I got the LG logo without the error, but then the tablet rebooted and I appeared again

Will keep trying as well. Hope it works. Thank you

Guys... To enter in recovery mode, just use Adb procedure.

Enable the debug usb on the tablet and connect it to the computer. Go in the adb folder (I think it is in the android sdk, under platform tools). Open a cmd window, type "adb devices", it should find the g pad, then type "adb reboot recovery" and the game is done!

I have flashed the 2.52 supersu zip and no problem so far :)

Ps: of course the procedure it's pretty similar from fastboot mode

Pps: yes, also wifi and sd card bugs seem to be resolved... This is AWESOME!

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Stransky:
No just just updated over previous build. Had no problem with the MM updates and I did them the same way. Will re-install Gapps but hope this can be changed so no need to install Gapps each time one updates.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
It is better to reinstall Gapps each time. I also root it after installing everything. I think MarshMallow had the Gapps preinstalled.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] uzi2:
Adriano's MM ROM included Gapps and had a much larger file size to be downloaded each time.

Many Roms do include a script to preserve Gapps, but it isn't something you can assume. Obviously this one doesn't.

Wipe System and install Rom, Gapps and SU.

New build is working fine and the 2 initial bugs are both squashed.

Doing some experiments with the SD card problems. I formatted 2 cards as portable storage, and tested apps that could write to them natively - maps, jw library, and popcorntime. All show cards with 0 mb. I could not find a solution for that. Someone else?

From here
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
IMHO, this problem is due to the networkinfrastructure. The v500 connects only to a 2.4 Ghz WiFi. If you have an AC capable (2.4 + 5 Ghz) network, these modems tend to switch on auto to the fastest (less occupied) channels. I had the same problem when connecting to my phone-hotspot, a Wiko Fever that has this kind of modem. After setting it fixed on 2.4 Ghz it never happened again.

Cheers
