KitKat Rom for a newbie - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive got an LG Gpad 8.3 V500 , to date ive not done anything with it. I posted last night about scrolling in landscape that it was lagging on one side.
I was advised to use a custom Rom
Ive never done this , can anyone suggest instructions ( in laymens terms ) on how to do this and also the most stable KitKat rom to use as i like the Nexus devices.
Thanks

hiya Eden
Is there any reason why? is there a major difference with the Roms? as i said i want as close to 4.4.2 Stock as possible

There's no big difference, it's a matter of personal taste.
Cyanogenmod is the most popular rom available, its a company now, if youd like to know

It may not show, but im quite the newbie myself. I just read a lot so I know stuff.

Recommendation, before you go flashing a custom ROM, make sure you FIRST make a Nandroid backup. You can do this after you install TWRP or Clockworkmod. The Nandroid backup will allow you to easily restore to stock in the event you run into issues or don't like the ROM you flashed. Another recommendation, take 2 backups. I am just overly cautious with this stuff and like to ensure I have a means to back out. There is a documented recovery step using the LG tool but the backup would be easier.

Why not try flashing the Debloat tool after doing a backup of your current setup. That way if you don't like the result you can restore it. Or, a novel idea, post this question in the thread you found the list in...

No matter how the question is worded, these still careen to best-rom threads.
The best rom for your particular description is the one you ultimately find and use. Search the development forums, read the OP of each, and I am certain you will find the one that fits your needs. Thread closed.

[Q] Advise on Rom choice

Hey People,
Looking for advise on a Rom for the Note II - I am a new Note II owner,
I have SLIMFAST 4.4 v-4 on it now...
I have not looked around enough to know what ROM is the most complete - I want KitKat.. but I want most complete..
I really would like to put one rom on, and not touch for the next long while if possible.
Suggestions? I want USABLE 1st .. not cutting edge.

I messed it up some.. I think I will reflash.. but there is so much talk about bootloaders and deoxed, etc.etc.. this much more complicated than my old LG and Cyanogen.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.

Can't install a custom recovery on V50020d!

I've tried every method, but nothing seems to be working for me!
Can someone post a video or a very specific step by step guide with download links and all?
I am on version 4.4.2 (V50020d) and have access to both a PC and a Mac.
I can work with either TWRP or CWM, doesn't matter. I just need a custom recovery!
Thanks to all in advance!

You can follow step 3 from [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267]this[/HTML] thread. This is vor the V50020a, but you'll have to edit the runme.bat like the guy over [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53587417&postcount=2]here[/HTML] did. That's what worked for me at least.
I was in the same boat, but after some searching, I've finally managed to flash TWRP on the V50020d. I can confirm this method is working

I didn't test them myself yet. I've only had this tablet for a few days and I'm pretty satisfied with the stock ROM at the moment ?
However, I did notice that CyanogenMod officially supports this device and that there are CM 12 nightlies on their site, so maybe you should try those.

Yup, that's what I went with! You should give it a try (Unless there are certain features that you like on stock ROM)
Lollipop runs super smooth on this thing! Seems to be just as smooth as on my OnePlus One. Now I just need to find a way to make the colors on the Gpad look less warm. The whites looks extremely yellow compared to my OPO

There are some kernels around here with the gamma fix. I've flashed one for stock ROM and that fixed the colors. There's probably one for CM 12 too.
About stock ROM, I really like this knock-on feature and the QuickRemote app. Those are some really handy features. There are also other features I like about it, but those are the most important. I'll probably flash CM12 somewhere in the future

Hey guys, I followed your guides and edited the bat. file so that it would flash and then reboot the tablet. The trouble is when I try to reboot into recovery it just gives me the error "secure booting error. cause: boot certification verify". I'm also on 4.4.2 rooted (towelroot) on 20D stock so it is really frustrating that I can't get it to work!

How do you root the new TW 5.1.1 Lollipop on T-900?

Has anyone figured this out yet? I tried, and got the TWRP recovery installed, (although at the top of the screen when booting to TWRP it said in red letters, Not enforcing SElinix ?) anyway, then I tried to flash the SU superuser and it boot looped. So I am back at the beginning after managing to get back into TWRP and wiped, and re flashed the new 5.1.1 again. Has anyone else had any luck with this? I haven't tried CF autoroot yet, and to be honest I'm really scared to after this.
edit...someone else tried the CF autoroot, and it too boot looped their tab. This doesn't look good.
I gave one idea in the other thread. Or try making a pre-rooted version with this.

Thats well beyond my skills. Thanks tho, but there isn't many developers for our t-900, so it looks like we may have to put up with bloatware for a while.
If/when the 10.1 lollipop update comes out I might take a stab at it... But no promises. I used to do stuff for the Tab 2 10.1 until it broke... And that was using the old Android kitchen. I've never used the new one...
I haven't done any dev work in over a year, and even then it was pretty basic! Lol just a couple of ports and pre-rooted roms.

Why don't you try it?
I'm trying to DL the FW right now, but at this rate I won't have it until sometime tomorrow. Pretty annoying server.
ps. if you try flashfire, make sure you set your tablet date back a month in order to make flashfire think the beta isn't over (it won't work if it sees the date as past September 1).
I'm not sure how flash fire will help since we are already flashed to 511
SUPER TEST VERSION of pre-rooted 5.1.1

[Questions] New(b) to G3

Hello all G3 professionals. I have multiple questions regarding to the usage of this amazing device. But let me tell you something first. I'm new to XDA community, to LG G3 and to any android devices. I'm an ex-iOS user and a happy android user now. Having done some homeworks, I was able to flash my G3 (F400L it's from Korea) from Kitkat (tons of korean bloatwares, the performance wasn't good) to stock Lollipop 5.0 and rooted. TWRP installed. I remove all the bloatwares via Kingroot. Since updated to Lollipop, performance is increased. But I don't think I'm satified with it yet. Sorry for a huge wall of texts so here are the questions:
1 - Any recommendations about how to increase the performance?
2 - As mentioned above the phone originated from Korea. There is alot of "korean" in the rom. The dailpad annoys me the most. How to completely remove all of the "korean" from the rom without losing any features? Or do I have to flash another rom?
3 - I'm interested in CloudyG3 and Cyanogenmod rom. Is my phone current software status compatible for it? And how to flash them without losing anything?
4 - This one maybe quite off-topic sorry but do you know how to directly download videos directly from Facebook app? There are alot of interesting videos I want to watch while offline. It's like chopping my flesh off seeing them flying to heaven while I'm scrolling through newfeed.
Again, I seek your forgiveness for the long post and the rules I might be violating. Some of you might wondering why I don't use the search engine. Because it's easier and less time consuming keeping things I want to know all right here in one place. And please, don't reply using shortcut. Cuz you know... I'm a newb.

Hi Knowspain,
i would recommend CM13, i am using it with G3 d855 without any troubles.
It seems to work on the Korean Devices too, look here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=f400&type=nightly
This is for F400, i don´t know if there is a difference to F400L?
Backup your data incl. efs if you don´t done yet!
Make through TWRP a clean wipe, first flash your CM13 - then select a gapps package from here http://opengapps.org/ (select ARM, 6.0, and your choice of variant and be sure flashing gapps unmediately after CM13, without reboot between it)
Reboot and have fun with your ultrafast G3
