Hello, i want to buy LG G PAD but i want to know some infos from you guys.
1. will it have double tap to wake and double tap to sleep if i buy GPE?
2. can i load GPE ROM on LG G PAD 8.3 V500? (non GPE)
3. whish is faster? GPE or V500? (i read some articles that it sutter time to time but HW is really good)
4 do you know any other tablet in same price range worth try?
thanks!
1. no
2. no
3. GPE, but only slightly
4. the new ASUS MeMo 7 or 8 with full hd display
Side note… if you want to flash custom ROM's all the development has been on the V500 (non GPE) version. When you combine a custom rom (Slim or Mahdi) with a custom kernel (Red or Mani) you get much better performance. On the other hand the GPE version may get updatded to Lollipop.

So is the v500 one
Yes you can have double tap on gpe. I have it. The app is called knock only and there is a thread in here somewhere.

It will be, that's confirmed.
I doubt if the v500/LGE will ever get an update to lollipop.
V500 has more options. Not sure if it will get official Lollipop, but will probably get the equivalent from a future custom ROM.
Hello old friends! A long time since I've posted on here, have happily had a Nexus 5 for the last year. Bought an LG G3 D855 and am horrified by the non-stock-android experience - give me my nexus 5 back!
I've seen that the LG G3 officially supported cyanogenmod nightlies are out - how long do you think it will be before the first stable is released? I am rusty on the ol' custom ROM scene and would rather stick to Stable releases.
Thanks!
already some time the CM12 roms are working, the only thing that has not been resolved is the video recording in 4K, but the rest is great, lasting battery well, is not heating up too much, and has no lags, the rom is fluid unlike the stock rOMs. can install that will not regret it. :good:
Why would you knowingly post in the wrong section?

Nightlies are stable enough to use...
Guys I wanna know how are the custom roms and how the phone works. I have a S3 with an Exynos CPU and devs have a hardtime to make AOSP roms to my phone. Does this happens on Zenphone 2?
Ditto Im on N7100, Im seeing x86 as potential to exynos, except if the source is leaked to developer someday developer will stopped updating or facing problems when Asus stop updating their flagship arround 2016
Im considering it with Redmi Note 2 Prime... it has Octacore but lack of NFC and only 2G ram
I might still happy with my N7100 (the also canceled Lollipop yeah,,, rite done with samsung, no need waste money for flagship anymore or buy Iphone if you want flagship) untill Prime arrives in my country or ZE551ML fix the battery issue, then Ill upgrade to one of them
above 1.8Ghz processor eats battery like a pro without good software
Btw this is general section I dunno if this question can be here or not
I'm currently running a 5.1.1 AOSP ROM, with the developer looking at 6.0. The ROM runs flawlessly; this phone really shines with lightweight Android on it.

Great
I have played around with all the custom roms on here - they all work great but when news of ASUS working on 6.0 came out I went back to stock so I would be ready for it. Just do yourself a favor and get it from ASUS. Too many people on here have found out the hard way they overpayed for a CN model with WW firmware flashed on it. Get the right model and you will love it for a long time

I got the ze551ml - 4gb/64gb version. The problem people have been having is going to ebay or amazon or some dinky shop hoping to save a few bucks and wind up with a chinese phone with the global software flashed on it. The chinese model has lte bands that are not used in places like the United States and Canada. Just get it from asus on their website. They will ensure you get the right phone for your area.

If I buy will be this one: Asus Zenfone 2 32GB Preto (ZE551ML-6A208WW)
I just went to ASUS website and did not see that model. I am in the United States so it might not be meant for me

So ZE551ML is good?
yup, it's good. the 32gb/4 gb versión is the Chinese version, you would have to flash the ww rom to get gapps. also I think it doesn't have some of the lte bands used on the states. go for the 64/4, 16/4 or 16/2 that sell on amazon at 299,229 and 199 respectively, they are all the 551 ML

Be aware of te limitations though (talking about ZE551ML/ZE550ML). Sim2 is only 2G and has no data support. Check the LTE band support of the version you get. CN, TW and WW have different LTE support.
All other ZenFone 2 variants that are not x86 (any other than ZE551ML/ZE550ML) may have poor third party dev support, and probably less attention from ASUS too going forward, as the x86 version is the flagship.
So guys, should I buy it or not? I don't wanna make another mistake like I did with the S3 on which I didn't have custom roms of AOSP with quality
Considering between Zenfone 2 and Moto G 2015 tho...
I switched from the S5 and couldn't be happier. Best phone switch I have ever done. If you do go with the Zenfone 2 I would recommend the 4gig version, it is well worth it
While I haven't used any CM or AOSP based ROM, some people say it's good for everyday use. I like the stock ROM, I only use a custom kernel (project T) and have the phone rooted and with TWRP. There are also some stock based ROMs, mostly to remove bloat.
The only advantage of getting the Moto G would be better battery life, but in everything else the ZF2 leaves it in the dust.

Xiaomi redmi note3 is a better choice now, about 200$

Hy guys,
I have some questions.
I love my LG Optimus G.
Switched from the LG Gpro back to the G because the G is much better.
But i thought there would come some more official updates.
If you look inside our G the specs are nearly the same like the new phones.
If you oc a bit and play with kernel.
The G is better then Gpro and OG2 for shure.
But where are the new firmwares?
Is no cool dev out there who can port a new G4 rom?
Is that not possible?
I treyd the new cm and aosp roms but they are not really stable for me.
It would be great if someone could make a LAST Super Cool LG Rom.
Maybe we could find some nice devs???

Note: As a long time lurker who never posts my response is not just to your post but to other lurkers who may be less knowledgeable.
What MasterFURQAN said! I appreciate LG's proprietary overlay for Jellybean and Kitkat as well but wanted my still quality hardware to have more current software.
The last LG based firmware which I used until about three weeks ago was Sling Kahroba. It is based on the last official LG version of Android for our device which was not released in America. I am not a developer or ROM porter but I imagine the significant hardware differences like much higher screen resolution, fingerprint reader, camera resolution, ROM size etc make porting from an essentially unrelated platform (CPU, GPU, Camera libs) too complicated.
You do not specify what Optimus G model you have but my American version (E970) is running fine with Nitrogen M 6.0.1 (Jan 25 build) with the E970 kernel flashed after. I am not much of a gamer and can't quote Antutu scores but it is stable and fully functional with one small camera related exception. The fine focus on print within a 18 inches or so is not quite there and I use another free camera app, not Google's, because it is more stable in video mode.
I skipped Lollipop and tried other Marshmallow ROMs in this forum but Nitrogen seems to work best for me now.
I used e975, nitrogen works fine for me too. I didn't find big issue with and this rom updated continuously. I am very happy that my old phone can have android 6.0. Even the new phone that I bought for my wife and daughter still in kitkat and lollipop..

I got this tablet for Christmas a few years ago and it came from Best Buy. Does that mean I have the v500? I think it only got one or two updates from LG and I basically gave it to my daughter so she could watch Netflix. It's been a while so I was wondering if anyone could give me a update of where this tablet is. Are there any decent Nouget roms that are worth installing. This tablet just seems slow and since my daughter uses it for the most part, I was thinking about wiping it and installing something other than the stock rom to see if that would improve performance.
The model of the tablet all bf in Settings / About / Hardware. There are three variants of the G Pad 8.3: VK810, V500 and V510. All other models of G Pads in these sections are something other than the G Pad 8.3.
I put my VK810 back on KitKat because Lollipop 5.0.x is to slow, they never offered 5.1 or 6.x for this variant. All variants are different.
