[MENTION=4374203]hmx13[/MENTION]: There is no need to quote the very long, first post. You then need to go back to original KitKat kdz, root it and then re-install LineaOS, Gapps and root (as described in the first post you quoted). I recommend Beans Gapps to get rid of the Setup Wizard crash.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jeremywh7:
Wasn't this supposed to have been fixed in builds after May 15? Has anybody tried a clean install or factory reset on recent builds?

Fwiw, I had no setup crash last night unlocking the wife's old (and my older...) Moto X, then installing & settting up LOS + OpenGapps Aroma. Unless this is device-specific.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
I think it was supposed to be fixed, but there are still people having issues with that. I cannot test it anymore.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] 1eStar:
I still had a 21st April build on device, so have reverted back to that. It's only the wifi disconnects that still bug me.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
How often do they occur? On what frequency, 2.4 or 5ghz? Did they occur on different routers?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
could be coincidence but I haven't had a disconnect since I separated my 2.4 and 5ghz by giving them different SSID's
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] 1eStar:
I can't pick a cause, as happens mostly on 2.4 freq but has happened on 5 GHz also. I'm beginning to wonder if it's related to Bluetooth interference on the 2.4 channel.

One thing I have noticed is the WiFi throwing up NETWORK ASSOCIATION REJECTION frequently.

Exchange service in Lineage / V500

Hi together,

I am so happy with the Lineage OS, that I went to it on my Honor 5x too. Different than on the V500 there I can access Exchange servers using the standard Lineage Mail App. On my V500 I have to use Gmail top do so. As I do not like Gmail too much I am looking for a way to get Exchange services on the V500. Any hint how to do so??!

TIA

Is there some way we can make the IR blaster work on this rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurps:
Is there a working taskmanager for this? ES Task Managers list is empty and not working here.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
Very unlikely. For the v500, LG opted to use a proprietary driver BLOB instead of the standard kernel driver expected by common IR Blaster Apps. On top of that, the original LG Driver/App pair is locked down by some obscure licensing mechanism.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
And we all have to thank LG for that!

I waited to long for an update from LG that I got tired, and I turned to the custom roms.

Now i have my G Pad with no ir blast, but updated and for that i have to thank Fefifofum.

I recently tried to upgrade from CyanogenMod to LineageOS and ended up with a "soft brick". (i.e., the tablet will only boot to Recovery.) I've tried numerous combinations of flashing and wiping both LineageOS and CyanogenMod, but nothing seems to work. I have latest TWRP 3.1.1 installed and working, is there a way to recover from the soft brick using TWRP, or do I need to revert all the way to stock?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jeremywh7:
Did you wipe data, system and cache, per the OP? If so, format them in TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] stealthdave:
Thanks for the reply! I had previously wiped data, system and cache, but had not tried reformatting them, so I did that using the "Advanced Wipe -> Repair or Change File System" option and "changed" the file system to the same file system, forcing a format operation. Sadly, reformatting did not resolve the issue.

UPDATE -- RESOLVED!!! I re-flashed the bootloader found in post #2! It's possible that I was running the Lollipop bootloader this whole time (I've been running CyanogenMod on this device for at least 2 years now) and just hadn't run into any incompatibility issues yet.

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] 1eStar:
I moved away from this ROM recently because of the chronic WiFi disconnects which I could not diagnose. I have moved to the Resurrection Remix ROM. Not only has it cured the WiFi issue, my battery is no longer displaying signs of being end of life. Formerly on Lineage I would plunge to zero, or leap to 100% on the charger. No longer on RR.

I'm very grateful to the lineage maintainers etc, but wanted to give a heads up in case any others here are having issues and are not sure where to turn for an alternative.

(As an aside, I *think* my WiFi disconnects are related to the tile app which seems to be a pile of garbage)

Root

Hi There, has anyone found a way to root the gpad running v50020f ? I have been searching the net to try and do this so I can install this release. any if would be greatly received.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Resurrection Remix uses LineageOS repositories for v500, so if the issue is not there, maybe it's not device specific.

Try this and let us know if that works. Otherwise, you could also try towelroot.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Giaki:
I'm on the last nightly (29 June) and I found the device a lot snappier. Previously it got stuck loading very often and it was annoying

Thank you fefifofu
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nickhill82:
I managed to sort it. Finally found a kdz file of an old rom and downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 v50010b - I then rooted with ioroot and then loaded twrp - I was then able to flash on lineageos and it now works a treat!

Cheers guys.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] moshano:
Same for me here, experienced annoying wifi dropouts that drove me crazy in all versions of Cyanogen and Lineage that I tested (not a few...). It's working like a charm now on RR.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
I'd been running 0428 build for a while and got good battery results, screentime-wise (more than 8 h, with wifi off).

Then I installed the latest build and, I think, I found the reason for battery drain (while idling) on it. At least for my device. I'm attaching a screenshot that shows a huge charge drop (between two arrows) while the screen was off. It started after I'd activated Google App (voice unlock). I checked the app and found out that all its permissions (bating mic) were OFF. And this kept the device awake.

I granted Google App all permissions and everything got back to normal.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
Well, I'm on Gapps Pico and don't have Google App installed, since I have no use for it (and for the same weird reasons you experienced, screw Google and their data collection ****ery), so this wasn't the cause in my case.

I'm still on that build and can rely on the tablet not draining, the idle times are flat.

"slim dv to hdmi" anomaly

When a stock v500 is connected to a tv using a slim dv to hdmi cable, the output looks identical on the table and tv screen.

With LineageOS, the image on tv is cropped on the left and right. It is possible to use tools like "SecondScreen" (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2766268) to get rid of the cropped image. Though, as a result the image on the tablet becomes cropped on the top and buttom. Seems like this is related to the tablet's display resolution of 1920x1200. But then again, the anomaly is not existing with the stock rom..

Does anyone have an idea how the regain the behavior from the stock rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
"Normal" was so fleeting: Google App woke up on its own, again, with screen and wifi off, and drained the battery. I'm back on 0428. Now I'm testing screentime with wifi on.

Hello, I rooted my phone after unofficial flash. I then flashed most recent nightly 07042017. For sm-935fd. Reflashed gapps n root. Got red message above Samsun screen. Messed around bootlooped phone. Then had to start from stock. Back to rooted on new nighty.Root works fine. No red message n no option to use root for apps in developers option. I asure u root is working tho with out option activated in dev option setting screen. Should I be happy or worried.

Definitely worried, because this is the wrong thread.

Anyone had issues with Magisk 13.2 or 13.3? I updated to the 7/14 build last weekend, which went fine, and used it a while, though the keyboard (Gboard) has been sluggish to popup lately. Anyway, then I updated Magisk 13.2 (and apk) and shut down. This morn I finally booted up and the OS was -extremely- slow. So I updated to the 7/21 build, but there's now an addon.d script to auto-restore Magisk, and then I could never get past "Android is Starting" on the home screen (due to the dalvik/cache clear, no doubt). Uninstalled Magisk, no help...updated to 13.3, no help.

So...I clean installed (including removing the Android directories in sdcard and external_sd), and all is good now. Another note, I could never access the status bar to set up wireless for the initial Lineage Setup to restore from the Google account. Nor did I otherwise get asked to set up wireless, -until- I selected the clean install option, so I set it up then, then went back to the cloud backup restore, which then went fine.

No Magisk installed now; things are working much better; no more sluggish keyboard either.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:
What is Magisk for?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jeremywh7:
Systemless root, particularly to allow apps that require Google's SafetyNet check to still pass, such as Netflix.

Awesome ROM! Thank you!

Accidentally i flashed the "Nougat Base Gapps package for 7.1.2 (arm64): gapps-base-arm64-7.1.2-20170703-1-signed.zip" which is 64bit I guess. Despite this everything works great.

The only issue is when trying to type with voice recognition in Gmail app, the recognition isn't constant. It recogizes shorter sequences and offers to choose between some variations.

Do you know why is this difference?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
You should not use 64 bit Gapps. The G Pad has a 32 bit processor. Gapps should not work. If you flashed 32 bit Gapps over the 64 bit Gapps, I recommend to reflash the ROM and the correct Gapps.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Pori12:
Yeah, I would also think so! But it works! (Seems working anyway) :confused:

I wouldn't even say it's an issue, as I experienced this kind of operation of Google Voice recognition at other devices too.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
I would expect the gapps package to check the architecture before trying to flash so it would not flash 64-bit apps on 32-bit systems
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
Installed latest update (0721): the issue of battery drain w/ screen and wifi off seems to be resolved, finally (pics below).

The issue with VolumeDown button on headset (not working) is still there.

My first impression: battery performance is slightly better, as compared to 0428 build.

You could use a smart cover case or you can enable Double Tap to Wake to wake the screen by tapping gently on it twice.

I have also problem with the magisk script in the addon.d folder.

Aftwr the flash of a nightly the tablet most of reach the lg logo screen and then reboot. One time it stuck at boot logo with the usual lg message.

The only solution is to delete the script in recovery, flash the nightly,,let the table boot to Android and then flash magisk (and atvthe next boot delete the script again).

I ask to the developer to add the possibility to disable the script (maybe checking for the presence of a file) but since now i don't get answer.

On last Saturday when i flashed the last nightly (and magisk) the tablet was extremely slow, so I went back to the previus one.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] xelyt:
There is an easy way to get rid of the addon.d script issue. Just open magisk.zip and delete the addon.d folder. Also delete the script in system/addon.d folder and use this guide to automatically flash the modded magisk zip after every OTA (there is a v2 version of the script here)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
Truly, there's none whatsoever.

On the latest update (0804), Google App relapsed in its naughty pattern of keeping my device awake 100 percent of the time ( screen and wifi off) and draining the battery. There was always a threat of its behaving so on previous builds.

BTW, on one of the previous builds (maybe latest for July), I managed to reach 9h 01min of screen-time (reading only, no wifi), going from 100 to 3. My g pad dates back to the end of December 2013.

Result: going back to 0428...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
Yeah, that's why I keep Gapps pico installed and don't use crappy Google data collection apps. Probably just not worth updating at this point, if you cant rely on the device. Thanks for the the insights.

Sound problems with USB DAC

Hi

When I plug a USB DAC (Audioquest Dragonfly) using an OTG cable and play any music (e.g. using Spotify) frequently there are some crackling noise, pops and sound drops. It happens more often when the screen is off. If I use the app USB Audio Player Pro (which has a built-in USB audio driver) everything works well, but I can't use it with Spotify. Could someone help me discover what is happening and fix it?

Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] marty_bebop:
I am delighted to have this ROM to enable me to have up to date Android - really delighted. I use my tablet for listening to online radio (pretty much all the time), occasional web browsing, occasional Skype. That's about it.

I keep up to date with the weekly releases along with an up to date Pico Gapps.

I cannot say that I really notice any difference from one weekly update to the next. No doubt I will keep doing it, I have it off to a tee and it only takes a few minutes. I do check latest comments for anything that seems ground shaking.

I don't know whether to knock back updates to monthly or something - what do other folk do?

Cheers,

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurunet:
For a few weeks now, I have the issue that maybe ~50% the time I wake up my tablet, it seems to perform very sluggishly. Like a PC with the CPU maxed out. At other times, it performs normally. I am not 100% sure since when this happens, because the first few times I was not thinking much by it. Now I am wondering if there is a misbehaving app, a bug in the ROM or if my V500 is about to give up its ghost.

EDIT: Just checked, I am having 100% awake and 100% WiFi active too. Running the August 03 build.

EDIT 2: Is it possible to roll back to an older build without wiping stuff?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
Nope, you need to to a clean install.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
100% awake? Is it on account of Google App?

As for question 2, I'm not sure I did a full wipe. If I did, I most definitely had all my stuff restored from backup (Titanium) without a hitch.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurunet:
I have to check. Although since flashing this week's ROM, I haven't had the slow-down yet.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] madd0g:
I keep a nandroid on SD, but didn't bother with updating to a newer LOS yet, the April build idles perfectly.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
You guys should really test the newest build on a clean install with the latest Gapps. You should also try not to restore any apps with Titanium backup. I see that only a few of you have this high battery drain issue. I've said it before, it does not look like a ROM issue, it could very well be a Gapps issue too.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] xelyt:
I also think that lineage has some kind of standby drain issue in fact my battery graph has never been flat on standby but yesterday i have switched to latest resurrection remix and surprisingly it seems to idle properly so it makes me wonder if it's a rom issue (same gapps, user apps and magisk on both)

battery life is back

FYI, I've been back to getting great battery life again in the last two builds; 20170825 and 20170901. I am using OpenGapps Aroma for required and stock replacement apps.

I read in another thread that there was an improvement in Play Services the other day...but that was definitely after I noticed the 20170825 build improvement. My old Moto X (ghost, LOS 13) also got its battery life back in the latest build, which it lost a couple months ago.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:
I usually leave the tablet turned on at night to wake me up.

And I was surprised with it without battery in the morning, something was draining the battery a lot (I do not know what it is). But it drained 100% of the load in just a few hours, around 6-7 hours.

I installed the last build and even then I had it, but it seems that it was solved by turning on the airplane mode of it, it seems that it has returned to normal.

Does it have any update for Android Oreo (8.0)?

Does anyone know where the update file goes to now when using the LOS updater? When I booted into TWRP to update after downloading the 9/8 update it was not in data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates.
