Hi!
I'm planning on buying the LG G Pad 8.3, but I live in Brazil and the Google Play Edition isn't available here. However, I really love the simple UI and clean software-design from Google (I have a Moto G, as well) and I've alson seen some people saying that, sometimes, there are a few performance issues with the G Pad that isn't the Google Play Edition due to, mainly, LG's bloats. I'd like to know whether it's possible to flash the stock ROM (download it from somewhere) and, basically, turn the v500 into the v510 (GPe). So, is it possible? If it is, is it also necessary to change the kernel? And, if so, has anyone done it before / could it brick the tablet? I'd like to buy one soon, because of the price and good specs, but I'm not keen on the software-design by LG and I'd like to have a "original" system running on it, not some modified/customized cyanogen stuff (although, if that's my only option to a better performance, I'd probably choose it).
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
You can simply install CM11 + gapps, you've got something close to GPE.
Hahaha...you need to root the G Pad to install stock Android ROM. Maybe You can find the stock ROM here on xda developer...but root the device first.

Right...
The only problem I've encountered is not finding the Stock ROM from the Google Play edition... And I've seen the CM11 based version, I just don't like the setting menu from CM11, but maybe I'll do that. The main thing I want is the virtual button to show the recent apps that is simply non existant on the non-GPe edition!

On stock ROM : long press home button !
I know that, I've seen some videos about it already... But I don't like it and it's a functionality that Google has considered obsolete since Android 3.0 and, for some stupid reason, LG and their GREAT software-designers still implement it. They really should follow Motorola on this regard, as they are releasing new phones with no bloat at all, using basically what would be a Nexus version of their phones.
P.S.: FOUND A TOPIC ABOUT THIS IN GENERAL FORUM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51834016
Basically, it doesn't work due to small hardware differences (WiFi and Bluetooth seem to fail after flashing the v510 stock ROM). However, I believe an AOSP ROM is still an option for better performance.

I cannot begin to imagine why that is desirable, where everyone would have the same phone experience. Very boring.
In any case I agree that LG has done some GREAT stuff with the software. If you buy a G Pad, you will see for yourself.
How do we install CM11 + gapps? There is no playstore app?
Hi after using this phone for nearly 3 months I'm in love with the stock apps that lg have.
Will these apps still be installable on aosp?
If you manage to port them or if there are no dependencies, then they will work.

99.9% - No. Only specially hacked versions will be installable, and they will be bugged. Unfortunately, they require entire LG framework in order to function - qslide framework, double window framework, Quick Remote framework, QCircle framework...
Guess I'm going to stick to the lg software then.
I hate the aosp dialers.
Not bothered about qslide double Windows qcircle
Just messaging and dialers qmemo
going to look into upgrading to th s3v3n android hd mod and see how that pans out
I haven't tried any AOSP roms on my D851 yet, I actually find the LG apps like Dual Window and Quick Memo quite useful? Can I install these on AOSP, or do I need the LG frameworks for them to work? Can anyone offer alternatives to these apps?
Nope, not possible
Finally got to Android 5. I want to do one mod and I have a few questions
First the mod.
I have the lgg3 vs985. I like android 5 so far but I do not like how the dialer is set up. I like the old one I had with the stock ROM, is there a way to get the stock LG g3 dialer or something similar
Now for qusetions
I love xprivacy but I can't get it to work on Android 5. I see it dont work on it yet. Will there be a update for it. I would love to have it again
LG g3 stock camera
I love how the app worked. How it looked and all. Has anyone manage to get it to aosp rooms. I'm just asking for an update only app I have close to the LG camera specs is
com.cyngn.cameranext-2.0.003_(eng.jenkins-internal.3fcbc7b.101014_140126-30)-20003030-minAPI18
Don't ask ware i got it i forgot ware but it was here in xda
Thanks
Hi! I'm using a LG f60 running lollipop, and I have already installed the LG Music apk from Kit Kat g3 which was ported to make installable in any LG with 4.4.2+
The problem is, that now in lollipop when you play a song the notification goes empty, there's only in the status bar the play symbol, but the notification is here but with nothing showing, I already disabled notifications of LgMuic months ago bc it was very ugly etc etc
Can someone using a g3 w 5.0.1 + download this Google play app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui
You just click on the Music app icon, and attach here the apk you got extracting with this app, please, don't send me apks from your system-priv-app, because this application makes the system apps compatible with other devices so.
And please someone extract me with this method the Video player of LG, I already have the shortcut, but bc my European version is aosp based it doesn't have any stock app and I had to install them myself searching them through web for months..
Inb4 thanks ?✌✌?
