This version is GREAT for this Android Device :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] V7RNR:
thanks for that, sorted
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] arthur_dm:
I installed the lastest version 5.8, clean flash but I'm experiencing a huge lag on wake the device's screen.

I tried to remove the SD but still faced the issue.

Does anyone know how to help me?

Thanks!

It's nice to see Gpad with Android 9.0, but it gets too slow... better go back to 8.1.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] legonro:
Hey, I didn't see anything in the main post or replies about this (might've missed it?) but does anyone know if this is compatible with the Verizon 4G version of the tablet (VK810)?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeremywh7:
Odd that the subject nor first post mentions it explicitly, but the download file does say only "v500". And it looks like the VK810 doesn't have any non-OEM-based ROMs.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] stealthdave:
Just got this installed, and so far it's working great! The only issue that I had was trying to use the setup wizard for Google Play Services which locks up regardless of how you try to set it up. I've had this issue before, and I do NOT believe that it is an issue with this ROM, but I'm sharing my experience in case anyone else has this issue.

I was able to work around this issue by bypassing the wizard altogether, which requires you to SKIP WiFi setup in the wizard! If you set up wifi, the wizard will try to update Google Play Services and you'll get stuck on a black screen until you reboot. If you setup the tablet WITHOUT wifi enabled, you will get to the launcher screen. From there you can connect to wifi and install / update apps through the play store without issue.

Thanks again for keeping this (now very old) piece of technology working and relevant!

Is there anyone working on bring LOS 17.1 to the V500?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mash hossein:
Anyone tried vk815 LOS 17.1 on v500 or contacting with maintainer? I've just found only a github page of maintainer that does't have any information about him or contact information.

Contacted the maintainer but he did not reply (yet), asked him to participate in this forum if he wants to.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Hey doggie:
OMG, this is driving me crazy! Have installed 4 times. Everything seems to go perfectly well with both zips, Droid first and then Gapps. When I go to wipe cache before rebooting TWRP gets stuck, "Formatting cache using make_ext4fs. . ." I've also tried not wiping and then it gets stuck on Droid start up screen. Using latest TWRP 3.3.1. I was previously running Lineage 14.1 without a problem. Yes, I did a complete wipe and format first. Can anyone help?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:
Does version 5.5 boot without gapps?

If so, use gapps with a date earlier than the ROM build date.

Make a copy of recovery.log in TWRP and show.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
So I just tried this on my V500 by modifying the updater script to allow it to install on the V500. It boot loops on the Lineage OS boot animation. I'm assuming there is some slight hardware/software differences between the VK810 and V500 enough to cause this. On paper these two devices are nearly identical. Perhaps [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] might be able to modify his VK810 builds to work on the V500?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Hey doggie:
Thank you!!!! That worked!!

Should have also explained also that I have two of these tablets. Both had been running Lineage 14,1. The first one installed without a hitch; it was the second one that wouldn't. Still can't make much sense of that. But, only important that the second one is working just great now. Really appreciate it! Thanks also to [MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] for his effort to keep these great little tablets alive.

Great work

Today I have upgraded my LG Pad 8.3 v500 to this rom and it rocks. Thank you for maintaining this rom. Please please develop for Android 10.:good::good:

I had an issue that I didn't have the correct version when I tried flashing this rom. The issue was that my TWRP was too old. I upgraded to the latest version of this device and then it worked smoothly. :Clap:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] yoGhurrt1:
Did anyone noticed problems with this ROM after lastest Firefox update? It keeps crashing my LG even on freshly installed OS. It begins with Firefox 79 I belive.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] baresp:
Yes, I experienced this on all next generation Firefox releases. It was separate Google Play version before they transition it to standard nightly. So probably with version 79 it become mainstream?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] yoGhurrt1:
It looks like it - Firefox looks and reacts differently so obviously it's sth new. Problem is that I cannot find any release notes for this Android version - it ends on 68.0.11.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Daimonji:
I installed the latest 5.8 version but after I add a working wireless profile, it connects but hangs then reboots quickly.

It won't reboot at all if I switch wifi off.

Just realise that the restart has a recovery option. That's a great feature. I had installed the nougat too, and I still pondering how I can boot to recovery .
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Demon1982:
Hi guys.

Been out of the scene for years. Found this tab and now wanted to update.

Went through the steps but when it boots up I get a loop of google apps that stop. And I can click close app but it just loops and I can't do anything else.

First it was a weather app. But now it's the google setup.

See video.

Tried re installing all zips. Re wiping etc.

Came from 4.4.2 to 9.

Any ideas?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Alaquen:
@beroid Does this rom get security updates?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] A]{ira:
Hi guys congratulations for the rom who brought my old gpad back to life

messing through the crdroid settings, however, I did a damage:

I have enabled the pie mode and the screen remains black (with backlight on), even restarting several times, the only window I can see is that of the shutdown or restart when the power button is pressed ( is there a way to show the "reboot in recovery or twrp " on this screen ??)

How can I reset crdroid settings avoiding to reflash, set up and reinstall all the apps?

---- EDIT ----

I tried to boot also in safe mode (pressing vol- at reboot) but the only thing that changes is the white writing "safe mode" on a black background
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Princeland:
Hello, can you tell me if Netflix can be seen in HD? In the same rom but in Oreo, yes I can see it in high resolution and also activating the root, which surprises me even more. Another query is regarding the battery, in Crdroid Oreo when it reaches 30% my battery dies.

How about this new version of crdroid regarding the battery, the same, better?

Many thanks to the dev for so much effort in extending the life of our good tablet 👍
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] akaloith:

at first boot it just keeps loading and loadinggggg

and reboots at language selection
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ze7zez:
If you used gapps, it must be a dated version before the ROM release date.

Thank you [MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] for keeping this awesome tablet alive!!

For the moment I am on LOS 14.1. I intend to switch to crDroid but the only thing keeping me stuck is the camera not working ?

I am using my tablet as a document reader, document scanner ... given the fact that i see that crDroid 5.1 is based on LOS is there any hope that you can make the camera work?

Hello

Someone understood how to fix the boot loop in the beginning configuration?

I tried clean flashing, using latest twrp, wiping everything, and still nothing worked..

I'm trying flashing Rom, pico gapps (190209) and magisk 18.1. All in this order.

Thanks in advance ?

But I think usb otg isn't working for me. Everytime I connect my usb drive by otg, the tablet freezes & reboots.

[MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] don't want to be an ass, but any clues how come some of us get bootloops at clean flash? Just eager to try out the pie ;P
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fullmetal Jun:
Those getting bootloops on clean flash, why don't u flash Oreo again if Oreo was working normally for you & then dirty flash Pie over it
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
Maybe people with issues could post more details about the steps they took & the gapps they flashed and the twrp version. Has anyone tried to pull any logs?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tosmaniac:
Hi,

Thank you for offering to support.

I get a bootloop when I try to select a language at the configuration screen or actually touch anything.

I first did a clean wipe (including data), flashed the rom and opengapps Pico 9.0, my twrp is 3.2.3-0.

Any idea, I also tried dirty flash over Oreo, same behaviour...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] madd0g:
This is probably the reason why it bootloops for some.

Regarding what was flashed everyone stating about bootloops wrote what they tried and on what TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
I flashed this rom just for fun, to see the old gpad with Pie.

From 7.1 (clean flash) it completely bricked the tab and it was just download mode, no twrp, no boot logos etc.

I flashed stock 4.4.2 with flash tool 2014 in emergency mode and restored successfully.

After that, I rooted, flashed latest twrp again, rom, gaps, profit.

Flashed without any issues.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mf01mf01:
What kind of kernel was on 7.1, original, or custom?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
I don't remember, it was the kernel that came with the rom back then.

I just flashed the rom years ago and forgot about it since it worked!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dark0shark:
I came from last Lineage OS 14.1

booted into latest TWRP

wiped system and cache

flashed this ROM

rebooted into TWRP again (good practice from Nexus 7 Android 7.1 by AndDiSa)

flashed recommended Gapps and addonsu

rebooted into system

saw the Google-"G" for ~3 minutes

and voila: Android Pie is up and running - much more smoother than LOS.

Thanks a lot, great work!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Here's my logcat from a clean install just the 2/4 build itself no GAPPS or root or anything else. It rebooted right as the UI was coming up so this could give us an idea of what is going on.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] First_BlooD:
First, i flash rom and gapps only. clean flash. before rom r.r 585 final

oh, gapps is stock. not pico.

when i put micro sd card, device freeze and reboot again and again.

when remove micro sd, device is fine. but cant wake up deepsleep.

can u fix it ? i want to use my gpad :(
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jordanlm:
I had similar problem with sd card. Here is what worked for me:

1) reboot into recovery using power button and volume buttons

2) Open advance tab in TWRP

3) Select partition sd card and proceed with partitioning sd card - note you will lose all files on card

Prior to doing this I copied all sd card files to my computer. hope this works for you
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Kernel with this ROM does not support exFat formatted micro SD cards. That's why for people like myself we were stuck with the ROM rebooting itself. Reformatting to FAT32 works great and was pretty simple for me to do. Hopefully BRKernel will get done for this which has exFat support along with a number of other nice enhancements. Thanks [MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] for this great ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Ozzie88:
I can confirm this, reformatted to FAT32 on my microsd card and reflashed, everything ran perfect first time!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Impromark:
Hey all. Newb-ish question here, I have my stock V500 I've finally decided to dust off and upgrade from stock Lollipop 5.0.2. I haven't played with ROMs in almost 3 years at this point so I'm starting pretty much from scratch. Two questions:

1) If I'm starting from stock, in your opinion should I flash this ROM or the previous (and apparently more stable) 8.1 ROM from Beroid?

2) As it's been years since I've done this (and with an old Acer A700, no less), would this thread be the best place to start?

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/guide-unlock-root-flash-official-twrp-t3779537

Thanks in advance!

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] yoGhurrt1:
I need someone to confirm, but if Lolipop couldn't make a difference, then that thread is the only thing you need to install new ROM.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Impromark:
Thanks - hoping to hear from others' experiences, I don't want to brick this trusty tab! But I've been having odd compatibility problems with some apps, and just factory reset the thing after a sudden bootloop issue, so I'm thinking it's past time to give it an upgrade.

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
That's exactly what I did.

Follow the guide until step 22, but use the rom and gapps from this thread.

Then you just wipe as described here and flash rom and gapps.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Impromark:
Thanks! Did you come from Lollipop or Kitkat? And would you recommend the Oreo or Pie build - any advantages to the older version? Looks like this one's pretty stable, so...

EDIT - StumpRoot won't root stock Lollipop on the V500, it seems. Looking for a workaround, or alternatively looking for a way to downgrade the V500 back to KitKat so I can try again.

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] siumonmon:
Try downgrade to stock KitKat rom first

it is more easy to root and install twrp recovery before flash custom ROMs
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Impromark:
Thanks, I'm looking into that right now. Hopefully the original stock KK ROM is still available somewhere..?

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
I would recommend stock KK version as mentioned above.

Much easier to root and install twrp.

For stock rom, look here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2622777

If "DIAG" doesn't work now or in the future (hard brick for example), you choose "emergency" and your gpad will come back to life!

Ps. I didn't try the oreo rom, I just switched from my old 7.1 to stock and then here.

Much better I can say!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] madd0g:
Can confirm, I had the reboot issue because I had an exFAT formatted SD card while booting the ROM. Formatting to FAT32 stopped that. Thanks for the tip :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Kiebab:
Bugs:

-Camera doesn't works

-No gestures
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fullmetal Jun:
Camera doesn't work since Oreo.

Gestures are present in Settings - crdroid settings - navigation - Swipe up gestures. Then turn off navigation bar.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] B4ast1:
First of all thank you for all your hard work and the really smooth and fine working 9.0 ROM!

I noticed some smaller visual bugs though, that I wanted to share with you:

The Google logo on boot-up is slightly left aligned

In potrait mode the quicksettings have a black background (similar to phones, but the black background does not extend to the edges), in horizontal this is not an issue

The keyboard and rotation icons in the navigation bar don't appear at the right side, but instead between the home and multitasking button (which makes them useless, as the home button is layered above them)

That's all I noticed so far I thought is worth sharing, keep up the good work! :)

EDIT: I just found another bug regarding screen rotation; when you lock in the horizontal view and then lock and unlock the device, it will be in potrait mode (I guess because the lockscreen also is).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mf01mf01:
I good understand that if there is no sd card, I do not have to be afraid have for bootloop?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] madd0g:
Yeah, or if the sdcard is formatted to fat32
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:

Is there slimport support?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] eatJesus:
I am pleased with this ROM, it's considerably snappier than Lin 14.1. I have noticed a few issues i wanted to mention.

The big one for me is that videos that are played in apps (except YouTube) appear 'pixelated', with jaggy edges / stair stepping - no anti-aliasing. I saw this in the BBC News app for videos as well as the Earthcam webcam app.

A smaller issue is that the homepage icons appear slightly blurry. My widget also will not be placed centrally - it is slightly aligned to the left. Perhaps this is related to the startup-screen 'Google' logo being left of center.

I also had one hard lock & reset while in YouTube.

Apart from these issues the ROM is great.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Ozzie88:
Out of curiosity what bootloader is everyone using with this ROM/meant to be using?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] moinsen13:
Works fine here. I deactivated animations in settings, now also the lags are gone.

But there's one big problem:

SELinux is in permissive mode.

When i try to put SELinux in enforcing mode, the system crashes.

Does anybody know if this the same issue with Android 8.1?

I don't know what is more problematic for security:

SELinux in permissive mode or an outdated security patch level.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Impromark:
You are a Godsend, Nikos. :)

Nothing actually.

You just extract the files in a folder and run the flash tool exe file!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] baduel95:
If you do not want to have problems with the installation, you must install the v10 version. Lollipop Stock has a problem with the last twrp.
