I'm sorry to the OP, but I'm going to make a useless post to respond to this useless post.

Responses like this are a waste of time and don't do anything productive in the thread. There are currently multiple versions and alternate builds and reading through can be confusing, either answer the person's question or don't. Leave thread policing to the OP or the moderators. You also didn't quote anyone, so you're overly informative response isn't even directed at anyone. Always assume that somebody's question is being posted because they can't find the answer, don't immediately assume that they are lazy.

This is the major problem with XDA these past few years. People come here to learn and share. Either help the user or leave it alone. Users can go to redit if they want to be ridiculed. I'm not asking the question, but if I did, I don't care if it's written 15 times in the post. If I don't understand it, I'm going to ask the question and get clarity. That's what these forums are all about, helping and sharing.

My rant is over, moderators feel free to delete this post.

your post and also the ones regarding wifi dropouts are useless, if you had a brain youll search the damn thread first and if you cant find info about your problem then ask here. its been a known issue since marshmallow that some users have wifi dropouts, nobody will repeat what already has been talked about so many times for you lazy people.

sorry but NOBODY wants to help lazy people, responding to your every post and youll never learn and spam other threads as well, this is the problem with xda these days and not me, people like you farming for thankx points

3 people spamed the thread and not one of them had the idea to search first

And you?

Do you have a brain, or at least 1 neuron?

You don't have nothing more to do on your insignificant life, that is coming here and be inconvenient?

This thread is used for feedback and you are complaining about people giving feedback.

In early stages of this rom, I have been issues with Wi-fi drops, but at least some months back, it was, at least for me somehow solved.

You are calling us lazy?

Well, i follow this thread from the beginning, post after post, this one and the previous ones, since CyanogenMod, so I know almost all issues and problems rom related, and that problem was one that I used to have.

Do you have a lazy brain not to understand that one same issue can be solved for some time and come back to life again?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hodgestl:
How VERY rude. I guess that is why you only have 32 "Thanks" out of 457 posts. "If you had a brain..." Wow dude... I expect your flame will come my way now. Just one question. WHY?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] auleu:
yeah dude because im no leech for "thanks meter" i dont have a brain? ahaha, rude but necesary for all you lazy kids, next time maybe youll think before posting but i doubt this, after a new page some other useless posts will show up asking the same thing

Im getting this odd notification which i can seem to rid.

Its coming from org.cyanogenmod.cmparts app which a system app.

Is there anyway to disable it, or can it be completed removed?

Its kinda annoying..
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jeremywh7:
When is the last time you did a clean install (wipe /system and /data)? I'm not around my V500 atm to check, but look in Settings->Apps and 'Show System Apps' (or whatever/wherever that option is), find it, and try to clear it's cache &data. Or you could try booting to recovery and wiping dalvik & cache...but otherwise, do a clean install.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
The tablet was getting overly slow in the past month or so, so I did a full wipe to start fresh with the latest release (2018-04-01) and that's when the notification started. I've since rolled back to previous weekly release and notification is gone.

Nobody knows. It's just annoying (or even disturbing for users who don't read the forums). They already had bad hands for this kind of stuff in the cyanogen era... :(
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
It had some sort of pirate speak, somethink about 'davey jones locker' cant remember exactly what it said, but the pulldown notification had a red exclamation mark in a circle. Clicking the message sent me to lineageos website with a blog page about bitcoin/blockchain etc being integrated into lineageos. Something like that..
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dark0shark:
There's no humor at all in this irritating message. It scares me a bit what they are doing at LineageOS HQ. Waiting for the next "cleaned up" build.

wifi issue

Well, I´ve an issue with the wifi connection.

I´ve 2 LG Gpad V500.

In the first one i make a factory reset original and the other one to lineage os 14.1.

Well i like lineage os, but the wifi connection is faster in the original one.

I connect both V500 to 5ghz and the original one connect to 150mbps and the lineage os connect to 65mbps. Thats wizard and i want to fix it.

Thanks for your help.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jeremywh7:
I decided to try the 22apr2018 build, after still running the 23dec2017 build (since it was the first in a while to not seem as sluggish). However, I would say the Apr22 build seems more sluggish than the Dec23 build. I need to restart it again and test some more though.

not enough since he just recently joined and two already established developers seem to dropped, or maybe decided to skip oreo which i doubt

also fefifofum fixed many things for this tablet
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hodgestl:
Not only is CrDroid developing Oreo for this tablet, but LineageOS is still publishing weeklies of the OS. True it is Nougat 7.1.2, but there is ongoing refinement and improvement. That is AMAZING for a tablet that was released in October of 2013. Here we are 55 months after this tablet was introduced, and it is still going strong with support.

Given that most hardware manufacturers and Google too, gave up on the tablet platform some time back, I think what we have here with the V500 is nothing short of remarkable. But even if development does die, do any of us complain when our 5 year old phones no longer get support? We absolutely do not. Phone companies have plans to put a new phone in your hands every year. I think we are extremely lucky to be where we are with 5 year old hardware. Just my 2 cents...
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
I couldn't agree more :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] paulomodesto:

With the last two builds, my tablet seems to have massive issues establishing a connection to my home wifi. Anybody else experience this?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LGFr....:
No, not for me
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurunet:
Strange. I had my two LOS-14-devices drop the wifi connection all the time until I switched off IPv6 in the router. IPv6 is still disabled, but since the second-to-last update, much of the time, my V500 won't connect at all. Seems stuck at "obtaining IP address".

I'll try rebooting the router.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] bongster:
Same here
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hodgestl:
I am running the April 22nd build and I can connect anytime to either 2.4 or to the 5. So not a problem on that build for me. Good Luck!!!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nurunet:
I set the tablet to a fixed IP, but that did not help. Since a re-boot of the router the situation seems much improved, but I am not yet sure whether the issue is fully solved.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] giovaorama:
Me too. The wifi drops after a couple of minutes after an app that really use it is opened (in my case youtubekids).

I solved dirty flashing again the same build.

Please note that for the previous build i made a factory reset (and a complete clean) of the tablet to prepare it for my daughter.

no root after fresh install

I updated to TWRP 3.2.1.0, then I flash LeneageOS first v14.1 , Delta gApp and addonsu-15.1-arm-signed.zip together

Now I enabled root in developer options (Apps and ADB), and still no root,

the other option "manage root accesses" greyed out

I tried to reflash the addonsu-15.1-arm-signed.zip again, no help

anyone can help please?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
My guess is that you should be flashing addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip as this is a 14.1 ROM not a 15.1 ROM

You could try flashing addonsu-remove-15.1-arm-signed.zip before but if it was me I'd wipe the whole thing and start over with the right SU zip
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] xdax1:
got root working

thanks, indeed i need 14.1 supersu and not 15.1, I am too lazy to reflash the whole thing, i just flash the remove 15.1 zip and flash back the 14.1 zip, its working now, thanks a lot

Hello !

After my Galaxy S5, S2, Tab A(6), I installed LineageOS on my GPad 8.3

All is working exept a very important thing : Titanium Backup doesn't find the licence key.

And sure, the "pro key" is installed.

I use a lot Titanium Backup since 2012, on each device.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Titanium backup and the Pro Key, check many things (after reading lot of topics on internet) but in my case, nothing works.

I send email to the TB's dev, but no answer.

I can't use my Gpad if I can't use Titanium Backup (and restore all my apps).

Please, do you have any idea?

The message is : "checking licence - Google Play store take lot of time to answer. If the problem continue, please uninstall and reinstall your Pro Key".

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] majorwedgy:
Just wondering what benchmark scores people get from their tablet. Running a build from April 2017 and it has been rock solid but think it has always been far slower than specs suggest it should be. Wondering if this would change with a newer version, on the latest version of Antutu I score 31300, I know this isn't a new tablet but fairly confident it should soundly beat the newer budget mediatek tablets around at the moment
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:
ROM Very Good! Thanks
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] hergen66:
I don't know whether this is universal, but i had to disable MPDecision (using kernel adiutor) to make the tablet fully utilize it's CPU. In the default setting, it never used more then 3 of the 4 cores.

Given the fact, that device-specific development has ceased many months ago, it's unlikely to get any performance improvements from newer builds. You'll get security patches and a few bug fixes, though.

1. Renaming mpdecision file also does the trick. And you can always rename it back

Where's the location? I'm on May build and didn't get around to update it out of fear.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
system/bin

You can also change governor to interactive or performance (to get a higher score). I did it once as an experiment...

Then I changed it all back and removed all changers. I don't actually have a need for all these. And my battery is not very appreciative, to boot.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] majorwedgy:
Thanks for the he response guys. Tried rooting and installing governor SRT it to performance with no change. Could you tell me where specifically you score so I can try work out where my problem is please. Attached is my breakdown
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] auleu:
you made me curious so i did a benchmark on mine and it did 39557 points, but this on remix rom. i havent checked mpdecision but that setting is for battery optimisation so of course disabling it increases some performance.

In simple terms, mpdecision service is watching the load on your device! When you're only doing simple stuff like browsing, texting or listening to music, the mpdecision service will completely shutdown single CPU cores to reduce power consumption. When you start games or other heavy processes, mpdecision will bring back online all your cores!

so when you run a benchmark it should use all cores even with mpdecision on
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] majorwedgy:
Well I did a full reset and installed latest nightly and the score went up to 41k. Looks like memory score was the biggest drain on the score with a relatively modest increase across all other areas. Thank you for the responses
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
I remember when I bought mine I tested it on antutu (it was late 2013 and on Android 4.2, if I'm not mistaken). My score was slightly over 22,000. Then I installed CM (4.4) and my score jumped to slightly under 26,000. I have not tested it ever since. Now it's over 44000. It does not say much about the device, but a lot about the test itself.

When you say "full reset," you mean "full wipe"?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] majorwedgy:
To be fair the numbers have changed because the program itself has changed if you compare the scores between versions you should have comparability. I did a full wipe and reinstall on the tablet. It is easily the best value tablet there has ever been thanks to the dev

Boot manually into Recovery (Power on + Volume Down, when LG Logo appears press power + Volume up + Down, then 3x Power to confirm) then apply zip in "/data/lineageos_updates". Clear cache and reboot. I have this from time to time and this helps everytime.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Kruzkal:
I don't seem to be able to get into recovery. The error message comes up too fast. Is there a trick to this?

It must be to heavy to our old snapdragon!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ALGOPOP:
No, not really. I turn the Tablet off and then i enter recovery the way described.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
The procedure by itself is a bit tricky. I remember early on it took me up to 15 min to get it done correctly. The trick being: you need to release Power button and keep holding V- button AND THEN press Power button and V+ button simultaneously (w/o releasing V- button). Once you see the menu, you're safe (you can exhale at this point).

There used to be a video on YouTube where a guy did it using one hand only.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Oujii:
Does anyone know if this rom has support to USB tethering? (sharing own wireless connection via usb)

Thank you.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mackeev:
Never tried it. But there is a quick tile for this and an option in the Network Settings.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:

Honestly, I'm surprised it's still supported (security updates). We're taking about 5-year device that has never been too spread-out and that LG abandoned at 4.4.

Randomized WiFi MAC address

I've been using this ROM for a couple of years now, and it's been really solid. However, one issue that I do have with it is that it randomizes the MAC address for the WiFi hardware on boot. WiFi works, but the MAC address changes which prevents me from using certain guest networks that provide access through a whitelist on MAC addresses.

About the MAC change:

The new MAC number is always "00:11:22:nn:nn:nn", where the last three bytes are always pseudo-randomized.

The change occurs even after a complete system and data wipe with ONLY LineageOS installed, so it's definitely caused by something in LineageOS. (Hence my posting in this thread rather than the general "Help" forum.)

I'm unable to find any setting in LineageOS or the Developer menu that would toggle this feature on or off.

This change occurs at such a time as to overwrite other methods of changing the MAC address, so I cannot use boot scripts or apps such as ChangeMyMAC to fix the issue.

My Google-Fu has not found any mention of this feature in LineageOS or on XDA.

I considered trying the 8.1 ROM that's available, but honestly this ROM has been so solid that I don't want to switch if I don't have to, and I actually use the camera for Skype calls between my son and his grandparents. Any help in tracking this down and disabling it would be greatly appreciated!
