iPioneer Slim 10c v0.1 is a light, clean and fast custom rom designed for the Lg G Pad X 8.0 (T-Mobile variant only) and it's aim is to become a replacement for the default system of this device.

iPioneer Slim 10c v0.1 it is light because it only takes 519.8Mb of disk space which is a big difference when you compare the 1.2Gb of a stock rom, it is clean because it only contains the essential apps to make it work properly and it is faster because the whole system have been 100% optimized.

iPioneer it have been designed with the User Freedom in mind, it only provides you with the basic OS so you can do what you need to do on top of that.

Features:

Based on stock (10c)

Rooted

Busyboxed

Init.d Support

Extremely debloated (very serious)

Deodexed

Zipaligned

Nova as default launcher

Installation instructions:

Download the rom to your desire location (link to download to the end of this post).

Boot into Twrp recovery and do a standard wipe (factory reset).

Install the downloaded rom .zip.

Reboot the device.

Be patient, is going to take more time than a regular stock rom to boot into the system, at first is going to be stuck at T-Mobile logo but after few seconds is going to enter into App Optimization mode and after that you will be able to setup your system.

Enjoy it.

First things to do after you install this rom:

Add your google account (if you didn't complete that step at the first setup).

Download your favorite app manager (Rom Toolbox, Titanium, etc.).

Freeze the application called App Updates in order to stop the system update beacon for OTA. I removed 3 core apps in order to stop OTAs but it seems to be very integrated with the system, there is no way I can remove it from the rom without breaking the system. This is the most practical way to my knowledge right now.

Optionals things to do after you install this rom:

You can uninstall Nova Launcher if you want as is not part of the system apps, but before you need to install your favorite launcher. If you don't install another launcher and remove Nova you will have a broken system and most likely you'll have to re-flash the rom.

On purpose bugs and missing options:

On purpose bugs are bugs that comes when you remove a functionality from the system but it can not be removed from a third party component, example: LG VPN app it has been removed but the options remains in the Settings of the device and when you tap that option you will provoke a crash event, the way to resolve this is to decode the third party component (very difficult) or reinstall the missing part (in this case the LG VPN app).

iPioneer Slim 0.1 it comes without some apps that can not be removed from the system setting options, this is like that because I believe that these apps are not necessary for all people, if someone need them they can be downloaded/replaced from the Play Store or I will provide a flashable file with these apps so you can install them.

On Purpose bugs (located at settings):

From the Share & Connect menu:

File Sharing that contains BLE and Android Beam doesn't work, package SmartShare it has been removed.

Media Server (DLNA) doesn't work, package SmartShare that also contains SmartShare.MediaServer it has been removed.

Lg Airdrive doesn't work, package LGAirDrive & LGAirDriveSettings were removed.

From More>VPN menu:

LG VPN doesn't work, package VpnClient_LG it has been removed. Basic VPN it works.

From Display menu:

Home screen doesn't work, packages LGHome, HomeSelector, LGHome_Theme_Optimus, com.lge.launcher3, com.lge.launcher2.theme.optimus were removed.

If you need these options to be available on your system just download these app on Play Store if they are available or just wait until I have ready the System Apps flashable zips.
​

Missing options (located at settings):

Smart Cleaning not present, package LGSpringCleaning it has been removed.

Cloud (cloud integration in settings) not present, package CloudHub (maybe dependant on SmartShare package) it has been removed, please also note that this cloud integration it was integrated on the stock File Manager, so... if you want a full integration of the Cloud service on settings maybe you will have to install the stock File Manager provided by LGFileManager package.

From Backup & reset menu:

LG Backup is not present, packages LGBackupLauncher and LGBackup were removed.

From About tablet menu:

Update Center and its content (App updates & System updates) is not present, packages com.lge.appbox.client (app updates), com.lge.updatecenter & LGUpdateCenter (main menu for updates) were removed.

If you need these options to be available on your system just download these app on Play Store if they are available or just wait until I have ready the System Apps flashable zips.​

Flashable zip with system apps:

Coming soon when I have a free time.

What to do if you get the OTA notification:

Freeze the app called App Updates with your favorite app manager.

With your favorite file manager go to /cache and delete the update.zip (the downloaded ota).

Tap on Restart & Install button on OTA pop-up, the pop-up it will start counting to 0 in order to restart but your device won't restart because there are 3 core apps removed from this rom plus 1 app that you just disabled (all these 4 app controls the OTA), the notification is just gonna disappear, push recent button and clear the ota pop-up window.
