[ROM][7.1.x][v500][Official] crDroid Android v3.8.5 [OMS][2018-01-17]

[Giaki]

I'm still having problem with WiFi turning off by itself and sometimes the only way to turn it back on is to restart the SO.
Anyone else is experiencing this issue?

 

[DTTR]

I did not notice any WiFi issues.
I managed to install SuperSU.
Everything looks nice.
Thanks dev.

I installed v3.0 with nano gapps. No issues.

Well, it did not work for me. The Magisk uninstall script said that Magisk was not found. After a few minutes my tablet shuts down. I must also say it gets pretty hot too.

"Switched back to LOS stock root" . Per change log on previous page. There is no Magisk to uninstall

No luck so far. I am coming from Stock KitKat 4.4.2 20b rooted with Kingo Root and installed TWRP 3.0.1 recovery. Running a standard LG G Pad 8.3 V500.
Downloaded latest crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170417-v500-v3.0.zip and the latest OpenGapps 7.1 ARM stock (open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170415.zip). Did a wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvik) in TWRP before flashing crDroid followed immediately by Gapps and then reboot. I get to the screen where I am setting up the device and if I select "New device" or "Load from android device" the screen flashes and I'm right back at the beginning again.

After this happened the first time through I tried "Format data" from TWRP before full wipe and repeat the process with the same result. I realize the install says recommended "Bean Gapps" but I just installed Open Gapps 7.1 on my LG G3 V985 phone (Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 install) so I know the file is fine.

Has anybody run into this before and/or does anyone have any recommendations to try fixing this (I guess I'll try the Bean Gapps and see if that works).

Any help appreciated!

Pico gapps usually work

I had the same issue both on my tablet V500 and on my phone D855.

The way I managed it was to flash the nano GAppa, boot, configure, reboot to recovery and then flashed the Aroma Installer of GApps in order to be able to install Pixel launcher.

Try it.

Thanks for the help Dttr. I was able to successfully install crDroid but I went back to the 2.5 version instead of the 3.0 I was trying and also gave up on the OpenGapps 7.1 and went with the BeanGapps recommended in the guide. It works BUT I am now having an issue after trying to get the Pixel Launcher working. I got it installed OK and it runs (also running with the Google wallpaper) but I do not get the "swipe left" for Google Now until I followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb7vGXyQDFI to install Pixel_launcher.apk as a system app. Now it's working and looking just like my LG G3 v985 running RR 7.1 with pixel launcher enabled!

Now that I have it working I'm wondering whether I should just go back and try the same with the v3.0 crDroid. I imagine it might just be down to the OpenGapps 7.1 which could be causing a problem. Just as a note the install of the Open Gapps 7.1 takes a very long time compared to the BeanGapps. But it took a long time (~10min) on my G3 and worked fine so I believe the Gapps zip is fine the packaging of the apps is just different and the installation may be more complete for Open Gapps, but I don't notice a lot of apps missing so I'm fine with this install for now.

 

[tmihai20]

I like the Aroma OpenGapps because I do not want to install more than I need and I want the process of installing Gapps to be interactive. I will try BeanGapps if there is no other way and my tablet is not physically damaged.

with v2.1 my G Pad charges very slow. I'm getting 5%-100% in 10 hours. That's real slow right? Am I alone with this?
Hope it was fixed in v3.0

That sounds like something is borked. I am getting normal charge times using 2.5. I am also very happy with battery life in 2.5 much better than the stock KK 4.4.2 20b I was running previously. And I think the Nougat UI and overall performance is noticeably better than 4.4.2. Apps run smoother and things like video playback and animation are much smoother.

Check to see what apps (if any) are draining the battery. You can also replace the battery if you are not afraid to disassemble the tablet for less than $30. If you suspect the battery is toast I think it's worth replacing, especially since the V500 now runs apps great with Nougat OS.

Same problem. Thanks for the suggestion BTW. Consuming the battery in everyday use is just fine. I'm on v3.0 now. Will monitor and if this doesn't work, I will have to try flashing back to stock to see how it will go.

Hi. Just upgraded to v3.0 but I'm having random screen locking issue. Like when I'm navigating through apps or browsing web or switching apps to apps, the tablet randomly locks. (Turning off screen).

Found the culprit. It's the micro USB charging cable. I used Ampere to measure charging voltage. Used another cable and it charges well.

Nice triple-post adize. Who need the damn edit-button, hu?

Topic: will update to v3. Lets see...

This ROM is by far the best one I've tested on my G Pad 8.3 ! Congrats for the great work and long life to crDroid

 

[briminator]

I am currently on the stock android rom for the v500. I am thinking of switching over to this rom if someone can confirm that Snapchat works on this rom (with root disabled, obviously), because it doesn't work on the AOSP rom.

EDIT: Don't worry, there's no point asking if they can easily be dirty flashed over each other. For anyone wondering, it does work.

 

[philseven]

Well this is what I'm doing now.
crDroid 3
GApps aroma installer
Magisk uninstaller
SuperSU
Mr Bump

I will let you know how it works.
