[Brilliant News] [CM12.1][VK810] Look what I came across - G Pad 8.3 General

Hello fellas
I was just looking around for device trees and latest work done on VK810 to see if i could contribute and i came across this. Removed link in case someone really is stupid. See attachment! I also found GITHUB and saw very recent device tree changes so we are just weeks away from CM12.1
Now the foolish people would immediatel try to contact the developers and ask for ETA and bother the very few developers who want to work on this device. If you piss the developer, they won't touch your device again and trust me it would be a great loss to community because this promises us stable device tree and kernel sources which means that all next android versions released by google could be easily worked on. As device tree is base for all development. Please don't f*** it up for others !
The wise ones would wait PATIENTLY because it's just few weeks away to have all the love for our device. Another member is in contact with another developer and he promised CLEANROM in very near future for Verizon Vk810 G PAD LTE.
Update CLEANROM released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...-4-4-2-24a-smooth-clean-t3105587#post60673234
I am glad to be bearer of good news.

Update
I and another user tried CM12.1 and only the data is not working. So once the data is fixed. We'd have working tree with CM with other Roms to follow.

I tether from my phone so data is a non issue for me. Excited to see what's to come

Last time someone ported CyanogenMod they never got data working. I tried to make adjustments, modem, build.prop, tore kernel apart, several wasted attempts. Figured it was a caf issue and different commits. So I bought a Nexus 7 LTE, slapped my sim in and ran. I like my GPad just not the limitations set upon me by a locked down Boot loader. To be honest my signal is stronger w N7. So I don't even use data on it. Do wish I could get rid of that annoying "no sim" alert.

Subscribed.....

Tried the ROM... VIK is much smoother, can't speak of data. SIM is in N7

The baseband being "Unknown", which is what I got too with a Verizon SIM in, means it doesn't even recognize that you have a modem,so you can tell already it wouldn't work even with your SIM in it.

Yeah, I didn't have my sim in. I may try with sim. Not sure its worth trouble though. This N7 sim tray is a pain. But its probably going to be same issue as with the cm11 port. The 12.1 doesn't impress me. Locked bootloader puts so many limitations. GPad in general is nice, better with L, but I get better data reception on the N7?

[Q] OMNIROM 4.4.1 N7000 Wi-Fi tethering not working

Indeed, the Wi-Fi and BlueTooth tethering is not working here either. It worked well on the Stock ROM though, so I don't believe it's caused by the provider.
I hope this can be fixed, I read somewhere else I might have to do with the tether_dun_required setting in settings.db -> global.
OK, this is useful info. It was not working on I9300 and I had no way at all to test that (the only 4412 device I have is wifi-only) - but later this week I can investigate tethering issues on N7000 if it's also problematic. Just need to find my microsim adapter...

I was going to work on it over the holidays, but among the things I forgot to bring with me was the SIM adapter for my N7000. Tethering works fine on all of the other devices I own.
I've got a number of ideas why, although the fact that BT tethering is ALSO failing indicates it's something different from what I'm used to in the past... That's new information.

Odd, someone else claimed it was not working... They might be on one of the providers where tethering is blocked. (There's a commit going through review to remove a bunch of those blocks...)
So it seems to be something odd with all of the Samsung Exynos4 devices, not sure what yet... Every change that SHOULD be required seems to be there, but we're obviously missing something.

Thanks for the tip - I knew there was some stuff in frameworks/base related to tethering, I just hadn't had the time to look into it in detail.

AOSP Rom

Was able to get a ROM built and running based on LRX21V straight from source. Just trying to get a feel on how many people would want to run AOSP. There are some bugs present such as video recording causing the camera to stop working. I think there are binaries missing that Google didn't include in the binaries that are available. Same problem happened on the Nexus 5. Didn't test it much as I just purely wanted to see if it booted.
Also there is a lack of gapps available so I won't be rushing to get anything out. Let me know what y'all think and I'll try to tackle this to get some other options out for us.
Here is the test build for those that want to have a look. This is just a test build so bugs are to be expected. Video recording does not work. Haven't tested it completely as I need a fully working device this weekend. This is for those that have free time to just nit pick and find all bugs in this. Please report back after you are done and let me know what else you may have found that is broken or not working right.
Stock Google kernel (so if you flashed the kernel image to remove encryption your phone WILL be encrypted again)
Built off 5.0.0_r7 from AOSP
Flash ROM, flash gapps and flash SU that is linked below. This will allow root access on the stock kernel.
You can also optionally flash the custom boot image after flashing the ROM, gapps and SU by rebooting to bootloader and fastboot flash boot the custom encryption kernel. That is optional. Be sure to go back in to recovery after flashing the kernel to reflash the SU to make sure it was not overwritten.

That is pretty offensive. It is a new device and isn't in the developers hand so releasing work without testing their work leads to quality problems.
I don't see you doing any development work and developers don't owe anyone anything as they do all this work as a hobby pretty much.

I know the reasons behind it, which was the point of the "no offense." I wasn't whining. I was trying to help motivate and encourage OP. He, as well as others, are working on making things happen and I'm excited for it and waiting eagerly for the kernel source to drop.
You took what I said the wrong way, so step off of your soap box, zephiK.
Edit: That reminds me. If any devs need testers, PM me. I'll be happy to help the community out.

No. Minor bug fixes for the particular device it was made for but that's it. I did notice on the N5 that there was a significant "miscellaneous" battery drain on r7. Might roll back to r3 if its present since r3 is the one for us (its also the same build for the N5).

Miscellaneous bug again? I wonder if they broke the same thing they already fixed, or if this is something else that is just falling into miscellaneous as well.

Enhanced data switch is back when on Project FI. Its not there in the current 5.1.1 builds.
Permissions check is working. What I mean is that an app will ask you to allow or deny permissions when if first attempts to do something. Example: I went to download something on Chrome and I received a prompt asking me to allow or deny chrome access to my music, videos, and files.

Just got official update to 5.1.1 for N900T (DOK2)

So, I got a small update just now for my N900T. The changelog says OS 5.1.1.
I'm installing now. Will update when it's finished.
Edit: Added screenshot.
Build number is N910TUVU2DOK2
I have a update downloading as well, lets see how this goes. You meant to type N910T I presume?

Yes, I know the N910T3 has had 5.1.1 for a while, but no, this is for the N910T.

Really hoping for some improvements in speed.

And so many wonder why the general public bemoans updates. Not that I used it much but it was nice to have if it is in fact gone. I hope they didn't change much else.
The real update I see is that the Stagefright exploit is fully patched.
Most of you on this thread might not care but if you install this update, there's no going back to KK or Lollipop.

cm13 not switching to anything other than wdcma only.

Hey folks , title says it all. I switched to cm13 from chroma , performed a full system wipe including sd card. So far so good but the only problem is , gsm doesn't work. I can't switch to it. Not from the settings and not from the dialer hidden menu. When i select gsm , it immediately switches back. It's always "Wdcma Only". Is this a known bug ? I scoured xda but haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Edit : Flashed the stock radio from 5.1.1 to no avail , also tried the 33-1.07 hybrid modem again doesn't switch. Using the latest December 27th build.
There was a bug report in the mako CM13 thread about being unable to switch between 2G and 3G, perhaps this is the same issue?
I think someones written a patch and just waiting for it to be merged.
Can you explain to me why you want to switch between them? My phone automatically switches, if 3G is available, it uses that, if its not, it drops back to the best available 2G signal automatically. Why would you choose not to use 3G if its available and just let the phone automatically switch?

What you're talking about is wcdma preferred mode. Mine is stuck on wcdma only. Which means i don't have gsm so it won't switch automatically. That and the fact that i rarely use 3g because i'm always on wi-fi somewhere , using gsm saves battery. also on lollipop 3g modem took horribly long wake locks that lasted for %70 of the idle time so i hate msm.hsic.wakelock. But if it is a known bug , i'm relieved because that should be patched soon. Without me having to restore my backup. Thanks.

I just flashed CM13 on my wife's nexus 4 and I realized LTE wasn't enabled. Googled it and it seems there was an app for lollipop to enable it but it didn't work out for me.
Is it a CM13 bug thing or am I missing something?

It doesn't work for me too. I think it might be a bug

It's a known bug. We have to wait for this patch to be merged. Keep an eye on it!

Thanks for the heads-up. I checked it , i think it hasn't been merged yet. So we gotta wait for tomorrow's release i guess.
Can anyone get their Nexus 4 running a recently nightly (like Jan 8th 2016) successfully switch to LTE? The fix in question was merged a few days ago.
Even though I can go into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and successfully switch to LTE/GSM auto, or LTE/CDMA auto, and the radio *does* appear to power-cycle, it still says on 3G/H+ (so the status bar icon says). Never had this issue with CM12.
My build.prop also says my preferred network mode is 9, even after rebooting, which should keep it on LTE. Any ideas?
The only way to have LTE is to change that patch to include LTE instead of only GSM and WCDMA but since LTE isn't fully supported on nexus 4, a patch like that will never be merged.
Probably someone will make one "lte enabler" for cm13, just wait (or help)
Build with that patch

i saw this and since i wanted to figure out how to build cyanogenmod anyways, i went and built cm13 with the LTE included in where the patch discussed here should have added it. I have yet to test it on my device but thought people here might be interested in it.
let me know if it works out.
i would post a link, but since this is my first post it won't let me. i guess message me directly for it? or maybe someone can and then post the link here?

Shoot me a PM and I'll post it for you, assuming that's allowed (mods?).

lannister80 should be posting a link to it shortly, but i thought i would give an update that i did test it on my device last night and LTE does work with it. the normal issues of making sure you have the right modem and then changing it in the *#*#* thing. i had to change mine to LTE only first and then it would work when i changed it to LTE /gsm auto... but it does work.

There's the link. Can I ask which commit this CM13 build is based on? Is this a nightly, something older, etc?

its a nightly, i might update it on a weekly basis maybe, i have not decided. i can only use the machine i am building it on sometimes.

Confirmed that this build does enable LTE. I did have to, as zachron mentioned, set the radio to "LTE only" first (which enabled LTE), and then "LTE/GSM auto", (which kept LTE enabled, and will hopefully jump down to HSPA+ or 3G when necessary). Switching to "LTE/GSM auto" first did not work (radio turned off, but came back on in HSPA+/3G mode).
I'll roam around today and see if I lose data at any time (when LTE isn't available).
Thanks @zachron!!

@zachron: Can you show me what source changes you made? Maybe I can set up a github account and do a merge request with these changes. I can't fathom why this isn't included in CM13 for the N4xus 4 when it was in CM11, CM10 etc.

sure.

i changed "<string translatable="false" name="config_radio_access_family">GSM|WCDMA</string>" to
"<string translatable="false" name="config_radio_access_family">GSM|WCDMA|LTE</string>"
as someone else mentioned, earlier in this thread though, they may not change it because the nexus 4 does not "officially" support lte

Which is insane, because they absolutely allowed this in the last several major CM versions (12, 11, probably 10 and 9). Enabling LTE was one of the first things I did after getting my Nexus 4 in March 2013, and I was on an official CM build for years.
The "enabler" just messes with build.prop and makes some database changes to make the setting "stick" after reboot, so it must have been an allowed option when it was built (the enabler can't change that).
I don't know what the deal with the sudden change of heart is...
