custom rom scene on gpad ?? - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello all,
i'm really stuck deciding on which tablet to buy, i think gpad could be be great compromise for screen size plus wonderfull specs
one thing that draws me back is that there are no custom rom for this tablet, how do you guys see the future of custom roms for this device ?
thanks

It basically just came out, so give it time. We've got root and someone has given LOKI our aboot and device info so we're waiting on that for the moment.

Well no idé about the future, but prob won't be to many roms for it. But I don't really feel any need for it either, on my phone I always use custom roms but on this tablet I'm happy with stock.

you can root, debloat with titanium, and customize with wanam exposed using xposed installer.

Yeah i guess so even though aosp aokp roms give that little more fluidity to the all UI..can someone please tell me how this tab handles reading editing PDF files? Thanks

Yeah, we're really making strides with such a small number of interested people. Now we just need a custom recovery and we can get working on rooted stock ROMs and CM.

that would be sweet, i think custom rom scene is what i love most about android, most of the times oem's overcharge their devices pointlessly or too much and this makes the experience not fluid as it should be

I just picked mine up this weekend
it's awesome to see our gpad 8.3 got lokified
I plan on working on some thing for our device soon

....It's only been a couple of days.

I have returned my g pad and got a refund. It seems to be all devices have the blue line issue so I think I shall wait until LG sort this out. I know its not a big issue atm but the blue line means something in the hardware is wrong and so could get worse. This means I won't be looking to build anything for the device anymore.

You can't even notice it. And in comparison to the awful Tab 3 I'd rather be missing half my screen on this tablet than get that piece of crap.
As with every "issue" with consumer electronics, people always complain and make bigger deals out of everything, especially on forums. Yes there's a blue hint on the side of the screen occasionally, but unless you're looking for it (like most people try to do) you won't notice it. And even if you do it's not a big deal. It's not nearly as noticeable as light bleed.

depends on which gnex you have. i think the gsm versions are available in the ubuntu touch website. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
if you have the toro or toroplus (cdma) we have to wait for some good soul to port them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw on their page that nothing telephony related is really working right now, which kind of kills any chance of using the phone as a phone for daily use. Since I've switched to the HTC One though, I'm seriously looking into this (since obviously the radios aren't of much use to me at present).

agree. I tried a few times because I got curious and can't wait to see.
The first time is when It's just launched. And I got disappointed, and realize that it's just a developer preview.
Then in a few months, I try again but nothing looks changed (as a user) and I switch back to Android instantly.
Then they said it'll be usable as a daily driver by the end of May. I tried a week ago, but no luck. Still buggy, and I can't say it could be used as a daily driver.
Let's wait until it's 'finished'.
really missing the multitasking button in ubuntu
certainly ubuntu will come up much better but i badly miss the multitasking button in ubuntu hope they have a btter idea...

[Q] Best Custom Rom for our LG G Pad 8.3?

Just installed Mahdi ROm. SO far seems smooth. very few issues. Will keep you updated
I'm 1 day into the malladus Rom. It reminds me of the nexus 7 kitkat Rom. Biggest bonus is that you can flash the LG apps into this Rom and get to keep the knock feature etc. The magnetic smart screen even works.

Somebody uses that? I don't know of any devices supporting it
The G Pad supports it. It works with stock. Nexus 7 2013, nexus 4 and newer, galaxy S4. All high end phones released this year support. Same for tablets. The snapdragon s4 pro and higher support miracast. Tegra4 also. This means the new surface rt tablets support it.

Custom ROM? Or Wait and Pray?

Hey guys I love the stock but I'm in the mood for something new. So I'm wondering what do people think? Should I flash a ROM and which are good? Or wait and pray the AT&T and LG release the update soon? The only problem I have is last time I had a cyanogen mod I had trouble updating when I used a back up so should I leave everything stock how it is or install a ROM?

HD2 is legendary. I still have mine and occasionally stop by the HD2 forums to check whats up... This phone is a different league but the likes of HD2 Dev support is too much to ask I guess.

I agree with you.
Any samsung phone can have 2 kind of Custom ROM.
1. CM based which I do not like. I suggest to buy Nexus if any one like CM rather than buying something and installing something.
2. Samsung Based. The stock software is just perfect. I do not see any custom ROM needed at this moment. Most of the custom ROMs are taken features of Note 3 or S5. If you have a look to other forum of S3 & Not3 you can pull those apps and most of them should work.
What was needed is root the phone, delete unwanted apps, and a good recovery....Which all I got it for my Note 3 Neo SM-750:good:
Now if this is been updated to Kitkat should be good, else no worries. The GUI would be same for all.
What I am looking for now a extended battery.....The stock battery really good however having extended battery is good when you are in vacation.

It's not so simple,for first you need to create a device tree,and prometeus doesn't have it because is stock based.
Sometimes samsung release the sourcecode for compile aosp on his opensource center,try to compile it,or try to modify the device tree with cm modification and compile it.
And fix all the bugs.

@ Neo: I doubt. We were lucky that we received 5.1.1 at all. It also took a veeeeery long time. So I doubt.
@ S2: P3ople can only port such features if there is a next generation of said device. Currently this tablet has no successor, so there is no 'source' where people could go to copy the changes/features.
Some features can be ported over from n5. The main issue is there isn't any devs left for this device or at least not p600. Sadly the dev for this device is dead.
What goes for mm I doubt Sammy is gonna work to much on this device other then just updating existing lollipop .
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah, we're luck we got Lollipop. No way Samsung is going to put the time in to Marshmallow for us.
