[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] skay:
Thanks for the help Dttr. I was able to successfully install crDroid but I went back to the 2.5 version instead of the 3.0 I was trying and also gave up on the OpenGapps 7.1 and went with the BeanGapps recommended in the guide. It works BUT I am now having an issue after trying to get the Pixel Launcher working. I got it installed OK and it runs (also running with the Google wallpaper) but I do not get the "swipe left" for Google Now until I followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb7vGXyQDFI to install Pixel_launcher.apk as a system app. Now it's working and looking just like my LG G3 v985 running RR 7.1 with pixel launcher enabled!

Now that I have it working I'm wondering whether I should just go back and try the same with the v3.0 crDroid. I imagine it might just be down to the OpenGapps 7.1 which could be causing a problem. Just as a note the install of the Open Gapps 7.1 takes a very long time compared to the BeanGapps. But it took a long time (~10min) on my G3 and worked fine so I believe the Gapps zip is fine the packaging of the apps is just different and the installation may be more complete for Open Gapps, but I don't notice a lot of apps missing so I'm fine with this install for now.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I like the Aroma OpenGapps because I do not want to install more than I need and I want the process of installing Gapps to be interactive. I will try BeanGapps if there is no other way and my tablet is not physically damaged.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] friedandroid:
with v2.1 my G Pad charges very slow. I'm getting 5%-100% in 10 hours. That's real slow right? Am I alone with this?

Hope it was fixed in v3.0
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] skay:
That sounds like something is borked. I am getting normal charge times using 2.5. I am also very happy with battery life in 2.5 much better than the stock KK 4.4.2 20b I was running previously. And I think the Nougat UI and overall performance is noticeably better than 4.4.2. Apps run smoother and things like video playback and animation are much smoother.

Check to see what apps (if any) are draining the battery. You can also replace the battery if you are not afraid to disassemble the tablet for less than $30. If you suspect the battery is toast I think it's worth replacing, especially since the V500 now runs apps great with Nougat OS.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] adize:
Same problem. Thanks for the suggestion BTW. Consuming the battery in everyday use is just fine. I'm on v3.0 now. Will monitor and if this doesn't work, I will have to try flashing back to stock to see how it will go.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] adize:
Hi. Just upgraded to v3.0 but I'm having random screen locking issue. Like when I'm navigating through apps or browsing web or switching apps to apps, the tablet randomly locks. (Turning off screen).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] adize:
Found the culprit. It's the micro USB charging cable. I used Ampere to measure charging voltage. Used another cable and it charges well.

This ROM is by far the best one I've tested on my G Pad 8.3 ! Congrats for the great work and long life to crDroid :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] briminator:
I am currently on the stock android rom for the v500. I am thinking of switching over to this rom if someone can confirm that Snapchat works on this rom (with root disabled, obviously), because it doesn't work on the AOSP rom.

EDIT: Don't worry, there's no point asking if they can easily be dirty flashed over each other. For anyone wondering, it does work.

Sorry for my noob question.

I use the Arm Gapps for my v500.

should i use the arm64 Gapps ?

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] iko11:
V500 is not an arm64 device. Stick with arm Gapps

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] harnis:
Thank you very much.

Another two.

I will do an update 2.5 to 3.1

Do i realy need wipe system and cache ? (or simply just cache is enough ?)

Do i really need to reflash the gapps after flashing the rom ?

Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] iko11:
As I know (I'm away from my Gpad for a while) Android OS Updated from 7.0 or 7.1 ti 7.1.2 between 2.5 to 3.1, so I suggest clean flash and you need 7.1.2 compatible most recent Gapps. Gapps needed if you flash clean, so you need to install on each clean flash. But changelog states OTA arrived so things might get easier to update :)

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] harnis:
Just a word to say :

- 3.1 is very fast and stable for the moment. (just 1 hour of test)

- Wi-fi connection seems to be stable.

- i try to activate weather on lockscreen but i've got nothing (it's not a big deal for me)

I want thank beroid for his beautiful job on this amazing rom. Thank you man. (You're my hero ;) )
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I would say that you can do a dirty flash. If you have issues, backup data and do a clean flash. The jump from 7.0 to 7.1 was not that big, unless [MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] made a significant source code change.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] harnis:
Thanks

I simply wipe system and cache.

Flash Rom and Gapps (aroma).

No factory reset.

Jump 2.5 to 3.1 (7.1.2) and everything work. (i don't know if it's a dirty flash or not, for me it's just an upgrade or update)

No bug. No wifi deconnexion.

and weather on lockscreen work (i activate weather in crdroid menu)

No data loose.

Everything works. So cool. :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
Dirty flash means to flash the update over an existing Rom. There should be no issues, even if there is quite a big gap on the same Rom. I am glad it worked for you.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] harnis:
Hello (it's me... again )

For two days now i've got a huge battery drain.

Yesterday my v500 (Crdroid 3.1) was on slleepmode (screen off, wi-fi on) : 100% to 25% in 3 hours

Today i tested with wi-fi off on sleepmode : 100% to 65% in 3 hours

I didn't notice anything weird in the battery menu. So i don't why the drain is so huge.

So my question is this : What should i do ?

Should i do a factory reset by the parameters of the rom : param -> backup and init -> factory reset and reboot ?

or

Should i do a factory reset by TWRP and reboot ?

or should i do a new install by : TWRP -> factory reset -> wipe data, system and cache - Flash Crdroid - Flash gapps and reboot ?

I think the last choice is the best but i don't realy know.

What do you think i should do ?

Thank you and sorry if my question is stupid. ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=5323423]harnis[/MENTION]: did you check in the settings under Battery what caused the drain?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] harnis:
Yes. Nothing weird.

But i think i found the reason. I'm not sure, but i turned off the weather on lockscreen and everything seems to be ok this morning.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] iko11:
Hi, i flash clean but I can't sign into my Google account (tried both Open Gapps and Bean Gapps and flashed after rebooting rom first. If i flash consecutively, setup wizard FCs)

Hey all,

So I just clean flashed the 3.1 version and now I am stuck in a loop. The setup wizard seems to be crashing and I can't get past the second screen where it asks me to start as new or from another device.

Any help would be great...

Did you flash the Beans Gapps ?

It worked for me

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

After one week in 3.1, i didn't resolve the battery drain.

So i made a fresh install (Factory reset, Wipe everything without media)

Flash 3.1 and Beans Gapps (mini)

After two days of use, the battry drain come back. I didn't found any apps that caused the drain.

And Wi-fi disconnect went back too.

So i returned to 2.5 yesterday. (Nandroid backup)

No battery drain but wi-fi disconnect is there.

OK, I figured it out. I didn't fully wipe the data when I installed it. Once I did that, I was able to get android running. So I rebooted and loaded open gapps and I was on my way. Using TWRP and I thought the dalvic and cache wipes included the data wipe and now I see it doesn't.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

I got it figured out. I didn't fully wipe when I first installed it. I thought I was getting it done with the dalvic and cache wipe step in TWRP. But, I was wrong and found where to do the full data wipe. Now I am up and running successfully.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] briminator:
I seem to be having an issue the past few versions where LiveDisplay doesn't seem to work as intended. When I set it to automatically change at sunset, it doesn't. I tried to combat this by putting a tile in the notification shade, and it works, when it's there. Almost every time I want to change it, (about every 12 hours), it is missing from the shade. When I press edit, though, it instantly crashes systemui and it returns.

Anyone else having this problem? I've tried clean flashing it, but same thing happens.

I have a problem that my sd cards keep getting corrupt. The mp3-s on it keep getting some weird holes it them.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] khaotik:
so, I've installed this ROM, together with mini beanapps, and for some reason I'm unable to install Netflix? weird
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=1919041]khaotik[/MENTION]: It is a known issue, Netflix introduced a check for rooted or modified devices. I managed to fix it by installing root hide with Magisk (by hiding root from all Gapps and others like Netflix).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Kaar3l:
It seems to me that it's not sd card corruption. Yesterday I formatted sdcard with exFat, copied all songs from computer to sdcard. It worked okay at evening, next morning the mp3-s had stuttering and acting bad. Then made reboot and everything was perfect. It also could be an issue with V4A.

How could I trace the issue? logcat?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] khaotik:
so I installed magisk, activated magisk hide, and it didn't work. I even deactivated the ROM's native root, but no dice
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
It needs to pass SafetyNet. You have to hide root for all Google Apps without exception and for Netflix. It takes a while before Netflix appears as available to install. You can sideload it from Apkmirror.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] victoraphael:
Root is reason why, imo. Only the Netflix version without download (4.1.X) has available to install. I tried to install by apk already, but fail.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] pdevil:
Real Racing 3 plays almost flawlessly, notice some hardware limitations. It's the old SD600. Had its time. I put graphics to minimum and it's playable. Do not expect much.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] khaotik:
root seems to be the reason all right, although on my Moto G 2015 with pure nexus and magisk I can download it from the store without a hitch. in the v500, in spite of the magisk safetynet check reporting success, I can't do it, so I've sideloaded with an APK from apkmirror, as suggested by tmihai

thanks for your help, guys. much appreciated <3
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Kaar3l:

Try going back to stock rom. I find stock rom V50030B as good as the current custom roms, just heavier in size.

Hope your issue gets fixed ;)
