Hello, does anyone know at what point are the cooks? I need so much of a recovery as it should be like Philz touch of Samsung, and a decent custom rom.

If these are things that you need then you'll have to be patient. Right now @autoprime @thecubed and @jcase (and probably others) are working on getting root for all devices. There is also only one variant known to have an unlocked bootloader (US T-Mobile, D851) and it has a working TWRP recovery, but no custom ROMs. An unlock or bypass will be required for the other variants before we can expect much more.
Here's a link to the progress by the members I listed above.

If you "need" it so bad, then develop it for yourself and post it here
Still nothing??

Hi,
I’m waiting for my LG G Pad 8.3 (still in the mail, should be here by the end of the week!!!) and I have a few questions about it. I plan to root it but I would like to know a few things before doing this as I’m not an expert with “rooting devices”…
1) If I root the device but not install any custom ROM or custom Recovery, will I still receive the automatic OTA update from LG? Of what I understood, if you don’t modify any “system” files, install custom ROM or Recovery, you should be able to get OTA update?
2) If I decide to install a custom ROM/Recovery and then want to go back to the stock ROM, Is it available for download? I checked (quickly) on the forum and I didn't see any link to download it (stock ROM from LG).
Thanks in advance!

1)you probably can not update ota on stock rooted fw. I had asked the same question to the developer of the root method for our devices and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

Thanks for your reply! If the update from LG will be available for download so I can flash it, this work with me! I might not keep the stock ROM too... I never had an android device from LG so I'm not sure how it look like... If there is too much bloatware (like Samsung), I won't keep it.

Just to make sure... Stock Kernel = Stock ROM? So the "LG G Pad Sock Kernel.img" is the latest version of the stock ROM from LG?

There is too much bloatware in this tablet just like the Samsung ones. In my opinion the stock rom is worthy if you want maximum stability or you need the lg apps.
No, kernel with rom are different things, google rom vs kernel. The stock kernel is for people who have flashed custom kernels and want to revert back to stock. If you look in the original android development section of these forums you ll see that there are 2 custom kernels and more custom roms available for our tablet atm.

Thanks for the info! I'm not very familiar with this but I'm getting there! I'm reading related post/subject (rooting device) on the xda-developers forum so this help me a lot! I should receive my tablet tomorrow or Thursday so I'll test/inspect it to make sure everything is ok with it and than try to root it.
Did you root yours? Are you using a custom ROM on it?

I had rooted it when dalingrin released the adb root method as I couldn't trust the kingo root method. Adaway and titanium backup are some of the top apps but these apps need root. Also you won't be able to move apps or games to SD without root. I flashed cyanogen mod 11 some days ago and I'm totally satisfied with it. The gpad became faster, with more ram available and with less battery consumption.

I'll use the root method of dalingrin then! I installed CM on my old device and I liked it so I might test it on my G Pad! There is no big issues with it? I know that it still in "Nightlies status so it might not be "stable". I'm looking forward to receive my G Pad!

CM runs stable on G Pad as of now. Very few features are lacking and you can check the CM thread nad if you have half an hour to spare you can go through the change log as well.
For the love of God, do not mistake a rom for a kernel. And remember that a kernel is usually made for a specific ROM. Kernels will improve performance on specific ROM's.. And enable new features under the hood and so on. But if you install a stock kernel onto a CM rom, it would be like filling a car with the wrong fuel and it would most likely get stuck in bootloop until you reflash a compatible kernel. - As stated above there are 2 custom kernels, one is ported for a few of the custom roms.. The other one as far as I know is pretty empty atm. and is aiming at becoming Play Edition-"like", I don't remember for what ROM. On certain mainstream devices you will find many a kernel and usually something that will suit your needs. Perhaps this will happen with the G Pad at some point.
Good luck on your rooting adventures and feel free to ask anything if you hit a wall at some point.
I received my G Pad yesterday! I rooted it by using the “dalingrin” method, installed TWRP and then CM11 (the stock ROM had too much bloatware for me!). Everything worked without any issue so now I can enjoy my new toys! I was hesitating between the Nexus 7 and the G Pad and I’m very happy that I chose the G Pad!
Thanks again for your replies/help guys!

I told you that it has too much bloatware, you did the right thing! I was also balancing between nexus 7 fhd and gpad and i picked the gpad for its 8.3" screen.
I have root and am well aware that Samsung/AT&T have left their Note 8 model out to dry in terms of an official update. Are there any custom ROMs available? I quickly looked into installing TWRP or CWM recoveries, but came up with nothing. CM11 only lists the 51xx models as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Look in the Developers thread. There is now a great 4.4.2 ROM for the i467M, which is the Canadian version, with a good custom kernel. Everything works, wifi, LTE etc.
However, if you have the AT&T version, I think your problem is not the ROM, it's the locked bootloader.

Yea, good call. Does look like it's the bootloader that's the problem. Ah well, thanks anyways.

for rooting there should be no problem. like other flymeOS, you can get root from setting as long as you logged in into flyme account, you can get flyme root from settings.
custom rom is another story though.
any one try this custom rom for M5C

Without custom recovery or unlocked bootloader you can not install anything. (Only the stock roms)
How can i find romcook to up this rom into my meizu m5c?
I need a rom from xiaomi production
I've recently unlocked my bootloader on my N975U using SamPWNd and was hopeful that with these devices now being able to have the bootloader unlocked that we would see some custom ROMs ported over. I've been either unable to find any or I have missed them. Has anyone found any? If so, can you please post a link? If not, do you forsee us ever getting any custom ROMs on this variant? Thanks!

Did you ever find any decent ROMs for your n975u? I too am in same boat. I super miss Lineage/cm.
Perhaps I am asking something that still doesn't have an answer. I am interested in purchasing this phone, but I am afraid because I don't know if there will be custom ROMs developed for it. I am interested in it because I don't usually upgrade my phone every few years.

I am waiting for PE too.
Before anyone can develop a custom ROM we have to wait for the kernel sources to be released. It's hard to know when this will be as Xiaomi can be very slow sometimes, but I think it's a good sign that the F5 Pro/Redmi K60 kernel has been made available.
Wasn't that also the problem of the xiaomi 12 series? They're still waiting for that sources

I'm using that marble phone. As i know Until now, there isn't custom rom available yet.
For a while, i prefer to stay on original china rom. I still thinking about unlock the bootloader, because i don't have windows pc/laptop. It's complicated to installing eu rom on mac

You can actually flash the EU ROM because there's a new type for the flashable .zips where you can flash it on either a recovery or fastboot
