Well, now I can't even restore to my working OS, and now CRDroid won't even load. This was fun.

Does CR Droid change my MAC Address?

PS: I can't do that anyway, since now neither of my OSs will load or work until I probably do something drastic like to a full format except my SD Card.

PPS: I can try my phone's hotspot feature or an ethernet cable.

PPPS: Would be nice if TWRP let me mount the tablet on my computer so i can send it files.

Edit: I fonally got 5.2 installed again and loaded. I decided to check the MAC address listed on my Filter and my DHCP listing. Guess what. The Wi-Fi menu reports the MAC address is different from when I was using the other OS. Now I need to embiggen my DHCP pool and add a new MAC address to my whitelist.

Edit Edit: Wi-Fi still doesn't want to connect. Using Ethernet is working for now. The Wi-Fi SSIDs I add manually aren't even showing up in the main list. And the only option I get in the "Saved" section is to Forget them. No "Connect" option.

Wi-Fi works when I use my phone's Hotspot. It seems to be pretending my AP/Router doesn't even exist. Both 5.0 and 2.4 bands.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeremywh7:
Android Pie uses randomized MAC's for security. Annoying for those who use MAC filtering for security though, eh? :-/ There might/should be a toggle to disable it; check network settings and dev options. I'll check when I get home and update to the new build. :) See:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] xnamkcor:
Even if Wi-Fi did work, Google apps seems to be crashing on boot constantly, my battery is draining, and the system overall isn't very responsive(One time I booted and Settings wouldn't open until I rebooted).

I was happy enough with LOS 14.1. I'll try to go back to that.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
Ok. In my experience there is a massive regression in battery performance on the 5.2 build. Anyone confirm this?

8hrs since full charge with 8mins screen on and I'm down to 27%. I was used to 3 days with 4hrs screen on...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] kaalalto:
Awesome rom !

Wondering if we can have a camera fix as I use my device as a document scanner....
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] l4d:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
Mine's back to normal now. Must have needed to "settle" or something.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ironunited:
ROM is great smooth and very well, except charging problem I recently had. When charge level below %15 I plugged it to a charger and it usually stopped and started charging again until it is above %15, then everything went normal.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
Spoke too soon. It's definitely draining fast. Lost 11% in 5hrs with screen off.

Flashing ROM works, gapps and native don't

Hallo,

i can't flash the Gapps and native.

Gapps:

E: Error in /tmp/update.zip

(Status 255)

Native:

E: footer is wrong

E: Signature verification failed

There is the Andriod system recovery KOT49I. v50020F on the device.

What can I do?

Sorry about my horrible english…

Many Thank's

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Niecks:
Hello,

First, thanks for this updated ROM

My problem is any application can't write on storage, FC when an app try to write.

I have no external SD card and i flashed it on lastest TWRP with GAPPS micro.

thanks for your help
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mdio:
I've dirty flashed over 5.1 version and did not notice any battery drain when on sleep. :)

But I'll flash the fix and test it a little more.

Thank you once again. :highfive:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LGFr....:
Still have no deep sleep. Did a dirty flash.

Is a clean flash required to make this fix work?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fullmetal Jun:
I never had battery drain/no deep sleep on the previous version nor on this one. There must be an app you're using that is causing that or might be Google Play Services. I still use Greenify to avoid worrying about apps running in background. I always flash latest gapps with new updates.

U can try uninstalling updates of Play Services & Play Store, reboot & update them. May or may not fix it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] rfr_nico:
is there a chance that the problem of the camera will be fixed ?

Doubt - Antutu

After installing this rom (+ota update 9.0-20190331), Antutu accuses my device is fake and does not complete the benchmark test. Is this normal? Thanks!

I installed on my v500 and it keeps rebooting in the language select screen
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] PoppiDe:
Thanks for the awesome ROM and Android 9!

I only got one question: Is there a way to stop the freeze and reboot if an exFat card/drive is connected to the GPad?

According to "cat /proc/filesystems" exFat is listed as a supported filesystem, so why is the Pad crashing after a few seconds?

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

Check if you have a microsd card inserted, which may have the "wrong" filesystem. I had the same issue at the beginning, without the SD card it's working fine or format it to FAT32.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] yoGhurrt1:
Did anyone had problems with root in this ROM? For my, everytime I'll install .zips listed in first post, nothing happens - there is still no root in dev menu. Magisk mgr says it fails with ctsProfile and basicIntegrity, what would suggest sth, but after few tries to resolve this, still no luck. Maybe if not solution, on which step should I debug OS to look what's happening?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
I'm passing CTS & basic integrity with magisk 19 on this rom

My guess is, your device is rooted, right?

I just have a little problem with Brightness that is very low (automatic or not) when I wake up the tablet. Any idea why?

For those who haven't noticed, a new build (crDroid 5.3) was posted yesterday, despite no official announcement here as yet. I've been running it for the past day, runs just as well as previous builds, now on the April patch set. :P Thanks [MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] !

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Fullmetal Jun:
If you're on kitkat 4.4 or below, use towelroot.apk to root your phone easily. Then download flashify or rashr from play store & install twrp using them. https://dl.twrp.me/v500/twrp-3.2.3-0-v500.img

Download crdroid 5.2 & latest opengapps. Use crdroid nougat if you want camera & usb otg. Download Magisk 19.0.zip or latest & magisk manager.apk

Use flashify or rashr to reboot to recovery or use the volume & power keys combination. You'll lose the data of your apps.

Wipe system, cache & data. Flash crdroid & opengapps & magisk.zip. Reboot.

To be honest, the Pie ROM didn't convince me at all. It was more stuttery, for instance when the tablet was in sleep for a day it took 10 seconds to be able to slide the notification bar down.

I went back to Oreo from October 2018 and it's a day night difference.

Screen ON when charging

Thanks for all Your Work on this Great ROM working awesome on my LG G-Pad 8.3 V500.

Only one small question when I Power OFF the tablet and plug in the charger it starts charging the battery logo appears and disappears but screen back-light remains ON with nothing on screen.

Only when I unplug the charger the screen back-light turns off.

Anyone having this problem is there a solution Its a fresh install of crDroid 5.3 .

Please help thanks

Hi! I'm currently on v5.3 & now I'm having the standby battery drain.

[MENTION=3325155]fishears[/MENTION] How did u fix the standby drain?

EDITED: Fixed by clearing cache of all user & system apps using titanium backup & reboot. Standby drain is normal now.

I don't know why Google removed the clear cache option from storage Oreo onwards.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
Glad you got it sorted. I just dirty flashed the new build & wiped cache in twrp & my drain went normal
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Obskure:
New crDroid user here. Want to thank all, Beroid especially, for the ROM. One question so far relating to the Netflix app availability in the Play store. Its not compatible, apparently. I side loaded a slightly older version, but would like the official apk from the play store if anyone can advise?

Rgds!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Darcody:
Use Magisk.

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Then use the Magisk Hide Option for the play store.

With that you can download the normal Netflix application from the play store.

But Netflix will be capped to 480p as the device wont have L3 (And the table is probably not powerful enough to play 1080p it even if it had L3 ;) ).

Device not detected correctly in TWRP

When I try to flash the rom, it doesn't recognize the G Pad 8.3 as such (see image attached)

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
I had the same problem a few months back.

I reflashed stock KK rom, latest twrp and then everything was good.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Nintenking:
Ok I'll try to return to stock and then flash the rom!

I saw you shared in a previous post the LG Flash Tool and the stock .kdz file, do I have to be in recovery (or download) mode to use the tool or just in normal boot?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
Download mode will work just fine!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Nintenking:
Is it possible that I no longer have Download mode? I really cannot manage to access it, even TWRP doesn't give me the option
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
Can you try holding both volume buttons (when device is off) and plug the USB cable?

The USB has to be connected to the computer on the other side before you insert it on the tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Nintenking:
Yeah I tried that but the tablet starts to charge only, also tried other button methods I found online but to no good... Guess I'll stick to another Rom :(

Thank you anyway for your support today!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Nintenking:
I managed to get to Download Mode! Now I've flashed with LG Support Tool the v50010A Rom (STOCK) that you shared and I'm stuck in bootloop, do you perhaps have a repository of all stock ROM? I figure I'll need a different one but I cannot find them anywhere
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
Unfortunately no.

Try with emergency mode, I described the procedure a few posts back.

This procedure will unbrick the device!

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
Mine charges slow for years now.

First it was the stock cable, then the stock charging brick, then the ribbon cable and the charging board and last but not least, the battery itself.

Basically it takes about 4 hours for a full charge and lasts about 1 and a half hour [emoji23]
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] fishears:
This last charge I got 4 days with 3.5hrs SOT. Full charge takes about 1.5 - 2hrs. I did replace my battery in Feb tho ?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nikos523:
I though about it too, but it doesn't worth it in my case.

I need to replace battery, charging board, ribbon, display, maybe housing etc.

All I need from gpad at this day and age, is to work for about 30 minutes (with really low brightness and blue light filter) when I can't sleep some nights, so I can just throw it off the bed when I'm sleepy.

And sure enough, almost 6 years of use and abuse, does the job [emoji16]

Just use NTFS for microSD

Hi,

I just updated to this ROM and ran into the issue when the Tablet reboots as soon as you use a microSD card formatted with exFAT.

I reformatted it using NTFS and now everything's fine. The card is readable/writable and it just works.

Thanks for the ROM, so far it seems to work perfectly. But why is SELinux permissive? In CrDroid for MotoG3 (osprey) SELinux is enforcing, so it isn't a CrDroid issue per se, but more G Pad specific?

First of all, thanks for updating new F/W about V500.

I updated and used v5.8 F/W.

Almost of functions was worked properly.

But sometimes there was crash(system ui error) on booting time

and booting performance was slower than OREO v4.7.

So, I rolled-back to OREO v4.7.

I will update PIE next FW again until FINAL version.

I would like to be improved the issue and performance about PIE FW.

Thanks again. CRDROID is best FW on V500 in my experience.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lentm:
I also had system ui error at first boot (dirty flash, cache wiped), I had to reboot.

No error since second boot, and looks stable for me. :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] lallolu:
Thanks for the update.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] ciki777:
I used V500 for navigation and Media player(youtube, music app, etc) on car.

So, My V500 always is turned on when start a car twice in day.

and It had a below action.

- Connect to BT with car

- Connect to Wi-Fi with phone's hotspot

- Doing auto-rotate horizontally

- Execute a navigation app by Macrodroid.

- Start music player automatically because of BT connection

In this situation, I sometimes saw the 3 issues.

On the other hand, I could not see these issues on OREO last version.

1) System UI error pop-up -> when push the App-waiting button, anyway working

2) BT error pop-up -> After few second, when turn on the BT button on navigation bar, anyway working

3) Cannot execute auto-rotate -> I cannot recover it.

If Owner of this ROM can reproduce this issue, I hope that issues are fixed on next PIE version.

Anyway, Thanks for providing V500 FW. :good:
