It seems that it improved in this last builda, 03-Nov., Because I did not have problems as frequent as the last version of the month of October. But I'm still having a very strange problem, sometimes the Tablet does not want to hang up, it stays in an infinite loop and does not hang up. I have to force it by holding the power.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sketchman16:
Running 10/13 so far so good. Battery life is not the greatest, and I had 1 app crash so far. Screen on is using 16%/hour vs 8%/hour for my Tab S2. Gonna play with kernel parameters today to see if I can make it any better.

I know the battery could be worn, too. Anybody else getting better battery life?

Just flashed new lineage-14.1-20171125-nightly-v500-signed.zip, has Nov. 6th security level and includes tile for LiveDisplay, great and stable! Thx [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION].
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
Latest build (1125). Found out that screen always stays on while charging switched-off device. Charge animation just switches on when I press the power button (and then off by itself), but backlight stays on all the time. I don't remember having this on earlier builds.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
I noticed that too last night, on latest build.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Latest build included lots of kernel changes related to power management. It seems that caused the backlight issue during off charge, but that will be fixed in next build, see this commit.

Root no working

Root: https://download.lineageos.org/extras [su (arm)]
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dark0shark:
Flash addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip directly after os-image and you'll be fine with root.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:
I do. But no working.

Magisk or SuperSu do not Work in Lineage?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dark0shark:
Well, you can check root with an app, I use Root Checker. And you can control root access of apps in Advanced Settings. That's all I need, see attached screenshots.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
Did you enable root in developer settings?

Magisk is working fine and is even able to achieve SafetyNet clearance. No personal experience with SuperSU. However, both are not officially supported by LineageOS.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Sprint82:
there are any performance issues? my v500 is really slow with lineage os and it gets hot (with fast battery drain) while using.

thats normal?

The graphical performance is slow as hell, GUI rendering etc.

I made a complete reset several times but nothing helped.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
I think cm 13 was much faster. I guess it is because Android 7 is slower than 6.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
It's true, CM13 is the best rom, and I guess it will continue to be the best rom for this tablet, but I already see this 7.1.2 rom running more light and with less issues.

Think [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] is changing weapons to Oreo, so in a matter of time this rom will be deprecated.

I wish [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] keeps the good work and Keep the support of this machine.

The battery isn't the same anymore but the hardware, even some years outdated it still enough sufficient for keeping us enjoying this beauty.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mac73:
Sorry, I installed this ROM but I continue to have the problem of disconnection from Wifi. I could not find the way to solve. Can you help me? Thank you
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] speedyx2000:
Thank you!!

Thank you LineageOS Community + OpenGApps and TWRP !!

I have now a "new" tablet: LG G Pad 8.3, with Android 7.1.2!!:good::good::victory::victory:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:
It worked! You needed to enable root in advanced settings. Thank you! Now it is normal for root.:good:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ilyichspb:
Have purchased v500 for 70$, like new condition, flashed latest LineageOS, everything is working perfect. Totally happy.

Thank you!

What is the most stable release of this rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
The current build is stable
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
Will we have LOS 15.1 as a Christmas present in the shoe?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
Certainly no. There is still a lot of work to do and a LOS15 device tree for the v500 doesn't even exist as of now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] BackCheck:
I doubt you could even flash 15.x right now. First we'll need TWRP 3.2.0 and the initial build for the V500 failed. I'd be willing to bet that's what our awesome maintainer is working on now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mac73:
do not you have this problem?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
I have, but only when its on standby!

When I wake up the device I can see that WiFi is disconnected than it connects imediately, but that's not the way it's supposed to work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dark0shark:
Just a side note: TWRP 3.2.1.0 has been released, see https://twrp.me/lg/lggpad83.html. Installation with Official TWRP App works flawlessly.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
It seems Android Oreo it's more close now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] BackCheck:
Looking at fefifofum's own github repos, it's definitely being worked on.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ze7zez:
Something happens.

It's not without reason that twrp-3.2.1-0-v500.img was created.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
[Deleted]. Nevermind, it doesn't work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
I would like to help too.

Oops, i wanted to send a pm...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] giovaorama:
Has anyone Google Assistant in this tablet?

AFAIK Google is rolling out it to tablet, but i still doesn't get it.

Anyway I'm in Italy, a market that Google considers less attractive than Neptune :(

At least Italy did give us one of the greatest football coaches ever as in Antonio Conte. :D
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
Where in Portugal happened the same thing, and we have great coaches "José Mourinho" and football players "Cristiano Ronaldo", and we are the European champions on football, we win the Eurovision competition "Salvador Sobral", we are the Best Tourist Destination in the World by the World Travels Awards, and I think the first European country to win this title, etc, etc...

But it seems for Google we don't exist!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dark0shark:
I had issues with the last builds in unmounting Adopted Storage randomly after some time. Hope the new lineage-14.1-20171223-nightly-v500-signed.zip is stable with that.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
I've lost root access!

What about now?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
Reflash the super su zip
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mohammad.bkf:
It's awesome

USB tethering is now available

Brightness control has fixed

There is no wifi drop or disconnection and it works very well

There is double tap to open and gestures for locking the screen

It's the greatest rom for LG gpad 8.3 v500

I flashed it after downgrading from official lollipop to 4.2.2

Because I could not install TWRP in lollipop

Thanks to all developers

??
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sketchman16:
Just flashed latest LOS and TWRP. Everything is good so far. Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Alex 9:
I have recently lost root access and cannot boot into twrp or even get to the bootloader. If I type adb reboot bootloader the device just restarts and if I power and vol up or power and vol down the screen just remains black and the device does not start. I have tried kingo root and kingroot but both fail to gain root access. What can i do now?

EDIT: I found out adb reboot recovery worked so it works now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jrickman51:
Recent install of the latest build and from memory the last build as well, I've lost all sensors? Only noticed now while trying to play a game that required tilting for control of the plane, in turn I downloaded an App that checks your controls. All sensors were not functioning, has anyone had this problem and if so any suggestions on how to resolve? Thanks in advance..
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
No issues here. Are you sure that you are running the KitKat bootloader?

What was the ROM that your tablet was running before you installed LineageOS?

Yes I came directly off of stock to lineage, 6 months or so ago. But never noticed if the sensors were working since I never had a need for any. At first I thought maybe it was a hardware issue on the gyroscope sensor but I checked all and all are not found.. I thought maybe the drivers? Were left out on purpose for some reason.. But yes straight from stock.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sleeplessnerd:
Awesome :D v500 has official Lineage builds now! - Thank you so much for your efforts!

[MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION]

I have had random reboots for some time with my v500 and I now think it is due to defect ram.

There is a linux kernel feature that tests all ram while booting and blacklists bad addresses, it's enabled with CONFIG_MEMTEST.

I can't find the option in the kernel config on github, so I guess it is not enabled yet.

I would set up a build environment, but that takes a long time :) Maybe you could compile a kernel with that option and with the boot param memtest=17 for me to test? (pretty please)

Looking in the implementation, it looks like it prints bad addresses to the kernel log, which is valuable info.

If that does not add significant boot time, maybe this is a feature that should be enabled per default, since the ram in mobile devices is not the most top-shelf stuff usually.

Some more info on the linux MEMTEST feature can be found here:

https://raid6.com.au/~onlyjob/posts/MEMTEST_explained/

I have attached my kernel panic last_kmsgs to this post. Maybe this isn't defect ram, but I think this approach is worth a try.

I can trigger a kernel panic quite reliably by starting capturing a bug-report, which is a little ironic.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sleeplessnerd:
I set up a build environment.

It compiled fine, but it turns out the old 3.4 kernel used for the v500 does not have memtest for all archs yet :/

I manually patched the changes into our kernel, but memtest does not get any mem ranges from the for_each_free_mem_range iterator.

AAAAAAH.

Now Im installing a debian chroot on android to get memtester, a userland utility to check if i can find errors in userspace.

But it was a fun sunday...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Mononon:
Is there a bug with video on this rom? I've had it for a long time, and I just noticed video only plays in SD (480p). I searched the thread and didn't see anyone mentioning it. Is anyone else having this issue? YouTube and Vudu both have this problem for me.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
I've noticed that too on some video's. I guess this only happens with 60fps videos, since I can select 720p and 1080p on non-60fps videos just fine. 720p60 is not in my option menu, probably because the device couldn't always handle it that well.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Mononon:
With regards to YouTube, it looks like you're right. I found a video that wasn't 60fps and it had the 1080p option. I only really watch gaming videos, and they are all 60fps. I wonder if Vudu is the same issue? Those videos aren't 60fps. Vudu might just dislike custom roms?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] snke:
I have random reboots too on my GPad with latest build
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
I have freezing, and some slowly.

I've seen this rom in early days more smooth and stable.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hekermeker:
Latest build. 01.27.2018 the G-Pad shows only the LG logo.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Danko Jones:
No problems updating from 01.20. (clean installation) to 01.27. version for me. Also LOS 14.1 is working completely fine and smooth for me. Thanks [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] !
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Masteryates:
I'm about to give the Mrs's old V500 to a cousin who isn't an experienced user. Whatever version of this rom I hand over, won't be updated etc. Which build of this rom is the most stable and trouble free? :angel:

Thanks in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=5244232]Masteryates[/MENTION]: I gave it to my sister after installing this Rom. She gets updates and she is installing them from time to time. She did not complain about anything. I made sure everything was installed as on a normal Android tablet and that root was not enabled.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:
I'm using this ROM and look great! Nothing to complain about.

Looking forward to Android Oreo, I'm using here not Redmi Note 4X and look great, it really is more optimized than Nougat, I think it works great on Gpad v500.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Masteryates:
Thanks tmihai.

The Mrs installed a few updates and got a build that was generally OK, but was very slow for the first 20 seconds or so after a long doze.

I don't want my cousin installing the updates as I wont be there to sort things out if they go wrong.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=5244232]Masteryates[/MENTION]: you could come here from time to time to check the health of the latest build. It is a wonderful feeling to have an updated device that is so old that LG forgot about it, like it did with other devices. It is not so wonderful to have a non-booting tablet or with broken features.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Masteryates:
That's exactly what I've been doing tmihai.

The only issue from coming here is that people only ever reports bugs. You never really understand how many others are having a trouble free experience on the latest build. :silly:
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] auleu:
so is oreo coming to this tablet? its been out for a while now. without lineage nobody is making a new rom. this tablet is still good, would have been perfect if it had a 10 inch screen

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Morak75:
Hello guys!

Just wanted to say THANKS !!!

I'm on official build since the beginning, because I never found any good custom rom worth the time to change.

I was looking at new tablet today, and then, just by curiosity, I checked here. Fortunately, I see there is Android 7.1 on our G Pad. This is great news !

I'm currently rooting/recovery/flashing this rom.

Hope it'll boost my tab which was a little bit tired/slowed by many years.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dee334:
Hello everyone I'm a newbie but managed to flash my v500 (hurray)

But I see that there's only 1.7g ram instead of 2g. Is this normal?

Hope it's not hardware related.

Cheers and thanks for the marvelous work
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] auleu:
what about android go edition, wont it suit this tablet more?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurunet:
Got big performance issues here too. Tablet is getting unusable from time to time due to lag between input and result.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
It's normal; some of the memory is being borrowed by the GPU.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dee334:
OK it's like on pc, but with the original rom I had 2Gb.

Me too, extremely slow at some points
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
I'm thinking about to return/downgrade to CM13. It was the best rom for this baby I tried to date, that I can remember.

Is this tablet ever gonna receive LOS 15.1?

Will it be a new born, or will expose some more of it's weakness and age?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] wizzardsk:
I liked cm13 too, it was much faster.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
CM13 was and are for me at date the best Rom for our GPad, and I have seen this rom behavior better than latest releases, don't know what's the reason, if the hardware is tired, if the Software it's to heavy for hardware, or if it's fefifofum that is tired of Develop for this machine and it's making us to give up first, and I understand that one day we must move on, but I wished to end in the up side of the mountain, not this way.

At first I was thinking it was a problem with my GPad but it seems that others have the same issues of Slowness.

What's going on fefifofum?

If you are tired of this and wanted to Move on, we understand, you have made so much for this tablet and we thank you, just give us one last build to let this tablet die in all it's power, performing like it was in CM13 or some releases ago.

I ended up leaving the tablet aside and used the smartphone more, but I liked to use it until it delivers the soul to the creator, but at the highest level, I do not care about Android O or P, just want to enjoy my GPad like I was since first time I used.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
Yes it was faster back then. But be aware that cm13 is quite old now and has a lot of security issues.

There are rumours that fefifofum is working on it, but AFAIK there was never an official statement. And there is no v500 device tree in the los15.1 repositories either.

Well, the processor is quite slow for today's standards and the RAM is a bit on the small side, too...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
I know CM13 is quite old and as a lot of security issues, but for my type of usage "Some web browsing, some YouTube Vídeos and some IPTV view" I guess it will be just fine.

It would be much worse if I stayed with LG's latest oficial rom.

I would like to have some words, ideas, from fefifofum, about what is happening with our GPad so I decide, if go back to CM13, or stay in this one waiting for better days, or waiting it to defenitively die and have to search other substitute.

For now I'm a bit disappointed, but I'm not complaining for fefifofum, for me, he was and are the man behind this machine, not even the LG that made it could bring so much to this tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
Well, CM13 should be vulnerable to stagefright, which had videos on web pages as it's main attack vector. "Web browsing" is the one single application, which needs up-to-date security patches most urgently!

I thought about that too, as the G Pad in it's current state of slowness and temporary freezes is not much fun to work with any more.

However, what are the alternatives? The most recent Android Tablet with LOS support seems to be the Galaxy Tab S2, which is also two years old now, out of manufacturer support, and not much more powerful...

:(
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] davebuk:
If you have it installed, try removing the Facebook app. I found it was locking my tablet up on first boot. I have also been into 'boot' options under memory and disabled some apps from starting at boot. See if that helps at all.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
The only apps that I have installed are a little web browser called Via, YouTube, Geo Streamz and FreeFlix.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurunet:
Given that he has generously granted our V500s an amazing extension of useful life, without being obliged to do so and without being paid for it, I don't see why he would do that.

Same here. I might have upgraded by now, but there seem to be few or no real alternatives (that are significantly more performant) that have good custom ROM support. Shame.

In the end I would be perfectly content to revert to a more performant version of LOS and just receive security fixes for as long as possible. I do not really need new features.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
This rom performs more smoothly for me when I disable automatic optimisation under battery saver options. YMMV
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] panhansx:
I am curious about lineage 15.1. Anybody knows how the go edtion works? I've read that its a compiler flag. So maybe the v500 performs better with upcoming oreo go! Would be nice!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
What's strange is that some releases ago all were fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ThunderBolt_BR:
Yeah,

As it is true that our beloved V500 is too old now, it is also true that a proper sucessor for it doesn't exist. Let's hope for a good treble based tablet to be released (I saw some models from Huawei that seems to be worth looking at).

[]'s
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
Latest build isn't that bad at all.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] sketchman16:
Haven't updated the wife's in a while. I do not do auto updates on anything OS or otherwise. Hers seems fine with 14.1. Never tried CM on it, though.

It's no match for my Tab S2, but then I wouldn't expect it to be. Seems to be doing fine for the hardware it has.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Yeah, there's not really any Android tablet right now worth replacing it with that can run Lineage. Mine still does its job fine for YouTube, Netflix, reading and music.

Chances are that I'll be jumping ship to Windows tablets when this device dies, unless some great tablet with great developer support gets released and Google suddenly remembers Android tablets exist.

But I don't see that happening anytime soon...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Since LineageOS 15.1 just went official not too long ago it could be possible our dev(s) were waiting for that to happen before porting it to the V500 perhaps?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] MightyBen:
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you! Everything works just perfectly for me now. I had an older AOSP build with the usual hickups. I went for a clean and slim install with only base gapps and a few additional apps like magisk, Netflix, Prime Video, Chrome Gmail etc. No SD card issues, no WLAN issues and really snappy taking the hardware into account. Just perfect!

As recommended I also wiped system. First boot was slow and system was laggy but after reboot there was pure perfection.

Thank you so much!
