Hi,

I have a LG V500 with Android 4.4.2 (no root, no twrp), how to do the upgrade ?

Thanks

Edit : I rooted it with ioroot25r1

Edit 2 : I installed TWRP 3.2.1.0 with Flashify

Edit 3 : and I flashed the new rom and the gapps... it's rebooting

and... it works !

Thanks to me ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jrickman51:
I know you devs are busy, just curious any plans for VK815 build? Is there a reason that the 500 has a lot of devs building ROMs? More in the population? Easier to build than the 810? Thanks I'm advance for your time..
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Doc Moody:
There is literally only this rom for the v500 that is up to date.. I looked the model up and the vk815 is the Verizon model. Have you googled for ROMs for that model? I think you're out of luck. Sorry.

How to remove the google toolbar in the home screeen ?

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
lovely rom but camera isn't working... black screen
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
So, it seems the camera issue relates to flashing FULL gapps because the problem is with Google Camera. I've removed Google Camera from /system/app/Google Camera and re-installed the crDroid camera (Snap.apk) to /system/priv-app/Snap and now I have a working camera. (don't forget to give it execute permissions)

Here's the Snap.apk from the latest build of crDroid for anyone who wants to do the same thing
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jrickman51:
Yes it's the Verizon, was just wondering why more builds for the 500 than the 815? Harder to do? More people owned? Just curious...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Doc Moody:
I assume that the dev owns that version since it's the international model and not bound to a specific carrier. Therefore I assume most people own that version and there is next to no demand for ROMs for the other models. I also don't remember if the locked bootloader bypass only worked on the v500 in the first place.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jrickman51:
Thanks for the info, I do run the lineage 7.1 so not too disappointed.. just looking and saw so many for the 500 that it raised questions.. again appreciated..
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] auleu:
does this rom have wifi drops too? lineage and remix also have them, sometimes too many notifications comes at once
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fullmetal Jun:
At least for me, no wifi drops
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ovu85:
just installed it, and i'm wondering if there is a setting to have bigger text and lower resolution.

In my opinion the resolution si too high for this screen.

PS i've set for Large text in display settings.

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] auleu:
you mean the resolution is too low as everything is too big, default dpi is 320 i think and there is a setting near the font one that you can lower, i think 290-300dpi is the perfect one.

to test if wifi drops you can try to download something big then shut down the screen for a few seconds and upon waking up the download is canceled

Anyone know if we will have Oreo version of crDroid for v500?

ty.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:
LineageOS 15 for v500 does not exist.

crDroid is based on LineageOS.

I think your question is premature.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mdio:
This is the crDroid thread, why should I ask for LineageOS?

Anyway, thank you for your answer. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4681016]mdio[/MENTION]: do you realize that CrDroid does not have sources of its own and uses LineageOS as a base? I think we should be happy with the latest version of Nougat on G Pad 8.3. A newer Android version means new problems. We can use Nougat just fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mdio:
Yes I know that.

;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fauert:

hello

I would like to update my v500, but I don't know what method I used to unlock bootloader couple of years ago. Is this important?

If so, can someone point me to correct zip I have to flash prior to install this ROM.

PS. i have TWRP installed
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
If you have twrp then you're good to go
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vadimfe:
I think very soon! Because I know about it from another russian source.:p
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:
Hold on to the facts and do not gossip.

It is certain that it will not be soon, as already mentioned earlier. Read the Jeremy info, specifically point 1.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mdio:
That post is from 30 de ago de 2017, it must be some news by now...

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vadimfe:
I cannot post here information from another (russian) forum, but I can to confirm, that was such information from developer beroid:)

Sorry for my English!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:
android_device_lge_v500

android_kernel_lge_v500

Yes, there are sources for the 15.1 lineage branch,

but this does not automatically mean that Lineage ROM is already working and stable,

which is the basis for starting to build crDroid.

Look at this entry by [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] from 12-12-2017, 17:08:

Work on CM/crDroid Nougat has given us a working ROM already in 2016, which means that

working on Oreo is much more difficult than working on Nougat

.

Already is Android 9.0 P preview and it is not at all certain that we will have Oreo for v500,

because all interest of programmers will be focused on the latest android.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] majnu:
My camera and OTG cable don't seem to work with this ROM. It could be user error but are there any troubleshooting steps I can take before trying another ROM? Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] iko11:
Since it all working fine, you may dirty flash your rom but clean flash recommended.

Any new updates for 3.8.5? I use this ROM 'cos camera work here and I need it for my work.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fullmetal Jun:
No! No more updates for Nougat

Use your phone for camera. The g pad's camera takes bad pictures & videos. So no difference if no camera
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Bodisson:
Thank you!

Works like charm on my LG GPad 8.3 (V500)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] pdevil:
Best rom for this ancient tablet. Works pretty well in every aspect. Always do a clean install and use pico gapps.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] darksidesh007:
With the issues you have on this I would suggest starting from scratch and coming from a different ROM approach. I am assuming you are using TWRP 3.0.2.x, I use the below whenever I have trouble and seems to correct it when other people are not reporting the same issue.

Instructions :

Download the latest build and GApps.

Reboot to recovery

Wipe Data (without media)

Wipe System and Cache

Flash the latest build and GApps

Wipe Cache/Dalvik (I always do even when dirty flashing)

Reboot System
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Flashing different build/rom automatically wipes Dalvik/Cache (there are very few limited exceptions when the new build doesn't include some framework changes, but very very rare). So wiping Cache and/or Dalvik before and/or after flashing a rom brings zero value. Unfortunately, it is repeated in almost every thread that people believe it. So unless you get some personal satisfaction from pressing the wipe button you don't have to, and please don't tell people to do it. Now, if you break something and you dirty flash the same rom and build to fix your mess-up, wipe cache and Dalvik, because they won't be wiped automatically.

There is only one small thing. If I open the options for battery profiles, it sometimes crashes and goes back to the homescreen.

Until now, no further problems.

Thank you very much.

Great ROM

I have to say this is best ROM I ever had in my tablet. Better then any CM and definitely best 7.1.1.

Thanks a lot to all contributors and especially to creator.

I have just one question - is there any way how to natively move apps to SD card? If I download any application and do to Apps to change storage for apps data, it doesn't allow me to select storage it except internal storage.

Again, I mean native android apps data move, no additional applications like app2SD etc.

Works flawlessly on my Z1 Compact with CM 12.1 and also natively on my Samsung A3 (android 6.0.1). But it never worked on my gPad - no matter what ROM i used (CM12, 13 etc.).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TanakaX5:

Thank you beroid for your great ROM!

Yesterday I dirty flashed from 1.9 to 2.0 and lost play store and my google account... so I dirty flashed again, this time flash rom + gapps micro... and I got play store again, but I had to add the google account again, and I had to reinstall almost all google apps to get them working again...

So, could someone tell me the right procedure of dirty flashing this rom?

Thanks in advance!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Flash ROM+Gapps, reboot.

But that's what Gapps are, the Google apps. Without them you have no Google apps, including play store.

Oh, and don't fall for any bs wiping of cache, that's done automatically when you update the ROM. Just follow the instructions above.

I have no problem with anything at all and I always dirty flash in order not to lose everything and install from scratch. The only thing bothering me is that I use an app called "AutoOff" to shut my tablet down at a specific time at night but in morning when I check, and it's hours after the already set time, it is still on and suddenly counting down for shutdown! Is there a problem for apps running in the background??
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
Does your app need root permissions? I've noticed that root access would not stick for many apps even after I select remember my choice, including the one I use for reboot.

More power to dirty flashing! Only way to go! [emoji106]
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vahid2081:
Yes exactly! And it never ask again for root while you wonder if it's root problem or not!

Great ROM, came from stock lollipop (full wipe) so it's nice have the newest nougat.

I noticed a few issues though:

1) YouTube 720p@60 seems not working - I hear sound but picture freezes. In very few occasions it works but it freezes almost every time when change screen orientation during playing. Never had any issues on stock lollipop to play 60fps videos. 720p@30fps and below work without any problems.

2) Live Display - automated mode seems not work at all, never got screen temperature change during night or day, every time I need to switch mode manually

3) I pined Live Display to shortcut tiles on the status bar but every time I restart my tablet I need to pin it again because it disappears.

4) And the last one - I don't know if it is a new Opera fault (my default browser) but after a while switching between many, many tabs, my LG G Pad gets very laggy. I noticed that then it is almost completely drain of RAM (like 100-200MB free) and I need to clean all apps from the memory to make it responsive again. Never had that issue on lollipop using Opera, but still I don't know if its app fault or maybe something with system memory management is broken.

Anyway, I still love that ROM, thx!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mdio:
The thing is that i came from a 6.0.1 unufficial CM13.1 from Adam Myczkowski and the apps I have now are the same.

Most of the time the tablet is on standby with wifi off and I use it no more that an hour a day, and with 6.0.1 I could easy get 2 days more of battery.

I just switched to this ROM. I restored some of the apps I am using with Titanium Backup, I must say I like it. I did not go for LineageOS because I do not want to stay away from bugs, I want a stable tablet. So far everything is good. I am especially interested if WiFi is holding up, the tablet detected 2.4 Ghz channels above 11, 5.8 Ghz WiFi is also working properly. I even had the pleasant surprise to see that Netflix detected my SD card and allowed me to store downloads on it. I hope nothing will go wrong, I like it, it just proves my suspicion that LineageOS (former CyanogenMod) has reached a level of maturity that makes it a valid competitor in AOSP's face.
