Hello, I am considering to buy G Pad 8.3. Specifically I am attracted to the GPE version, but it is not available for sale in Europe. I got some questions:
Can I instead buy the original version of G Pad 8.3 and install GPE ROM myself and where should i get this ROM? Will it be as stable as using the GPE version bought from google play. Will SlimPort interfaces work with the installed GPE rom?
What is the advantage of GPE over installing CyanogenMod? CM11 is currently nightly for this device, is there any problems with using it? Will the SlimPort work with CM11 on this device?

A conversion is afaik not 100%ly possible without any downsides such as no working wifi or bt. Still cm11 has some disadvantages such as weak speaker sound etc.

Sorry to push this old thread up again, but I could not find anything on this.
I am running the latest Cyanogenmod Nightly on my GPad V500 and would like to know if Slimport HDMI is working.
Can anyone confirm this?

Anybody with the GPE G Pad get the OTA update for 4.4.3?
If you did, let me know how it compares to the 4.4.2 ROM (speed, battery, etc).
Thanks

Hello Guys
I bought my LG V500 90 days ago. Now I am pretty tired of the stock version of the OS.
I would like to install a standard Google Play Edition ROM - no addons or anything. Basically I want to transform it into a LG V510 with the AOSP google version.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, so I am not really experienced in the LG roms.
Do you have a complete Google Play Edition ROM for the LG V500 you can recommend?
It is important that is without any extra features. I just want a basic Android OS, like the one on the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition.
Sorry if there are some mistakes in my english.
Thanks

You can not install the V510 GPE ROM on the V500. The drivers and hardware are different. The closest you can come is CM11.
Thanks guys.
I was considering Mahdi Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581988 but the download link is broken, så i will consider again.
@cam30era i know i can't install THE V510 GPE ROM. I meant a ROM that looked/worked like as if I was using a V510.

GPE is "pure” AOSP. CM11 is AOSP based and is as close to GPE as you will get.

Hi,
2 days ago I bought lg g pad 8.3 white V500 version. It is my 1st lg with android.
So I have some questions.
1. Is bootloader locked out of box?
2. Is it possible to flash google play edition rom? What do I need to do it?
3. And when it comes to warranty how to get back to lg's stock rom?
4. What are the differences between V500 and V510?

1. no
2. no it is not possible but there are a few asop roms that look close to google play edition.
3. using the lg tool for windows, you can return back to stop.
4. hardware wise, no difference. just software. v500 is LG rom, v510 is stock google.

So do I have to:
1. Root it
2. Install recovery
And I can flash any rom?
Can you tell me which one is not much different from gpe?
I know cm, mahdi and others but I'm looking for the most stable and simple rom similar to gpe .

I like slimkat myself, however if you are trying to go close to gpe CyanogenMod is probably closest of all the ones I've tried
The bootloader for the V500 is locked out of the box and roms use a workaround called LOKI. Rooting I used towelroot. Installation of recovery will vary depending upon what version of the LG code is installed on your device (4.2.2 or 4.4.2).
It is strange for me that it is no pre rooted deodexed gpe to flash using custom recovery.
Ok.
And what about LG tool? Is it software from LG?
I need to click repair and then it will restore stock lg rom?
Hi,
I recently bought used LG tablet (LG G Pad 10.1 (V700)). I downgraded it to KitKat in order to instal TWRP recovery and root it. Now I would like to install lightweight custom ROM (lollipop or higher) but I was so far unable to find any ROMs for this tablet. There are some ROMs in this forum but they seems to be only suitable for LG V400 or V410. So if you know where to find custom ROMs for my tablet please let me know.
Thanks!
Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum - I'm new here.
So I got an old LG vk700 from a friend and I was hoping to install a custom ROM on it. It's currently running Android Lollipop 5.0.2, and it is the Verizon Model. I'm interested in trying to install an older version LineageOS on it but I noticed that it wasn't in the supported devices list. I did see that the LG G Pad 8.0 (which is almost identical to the vk700 other than the dimensions) is supported, and I was wondering whether it was possible to install the version of Lineage for the G Pad 8.0 on the vk700. If not, would it be possible for me to port it to the vk700 or is the vk700 for some reason impossible to use a custom ROM on? Thanks in advance!
