[ROM][v500][AOSP] Android 6.0 Marshmallow - 20161018 - MOB31H

[postn]

Connect it with a PC, enable USB Debugging, then run in a terminal on PC "adb reboot recovery".

I made it! Thank you so much!

Hello, I'm looking forward to coming back to this ROM for my gpad. Which version should I flash to encounter the least amount of problems?

 

[annoyingduck]

@adrianom the latest build has been great. So many thanks for keeping our tablet alive. Quick question, I love the simple Android bootanimation included in your build. Can you tell me where you got it? Looking for a 1440p version for my Moto X Pure.

Thanks for the update! Unfortunately the problem is not solved, at least for me (disclosure: I only tried a dirty flash, as I currently don't want to perform a clean flash): as described before, I have no music playing for several songs in Google Music, and also not in my podcast player (at least via the default Android player, the experimental player built into my podcast app works).

Can someone test whether a clean install (after full wipe) indeed works? Otherwise the issue is apparently not fixed yet…

Go for Nougat. The issue if 100% fixed on that.

Agreed.. and you can successfully update dirty - just wipe system then flash ROM, Gapps (Pico for me) and SU (make sure you use a System mode version or 2.52 or earlier).

Thanks (to both, also @indian84)! I was a bit reluctant to switch to the Nougat ROM yet (and would've never considered doing that dirty, I would've chosen a clean flash), but it worked almost flawless. And yes, the sound issue is fixed there! Hooray!

Of course this doesn't solve the problem per se, and people who (for whatever reason) want to stay on Marshmallow don't have that option, so I still think the issue should also be resolved on this ROM (aka the 6.0.1 version) as well – as @adrianom was able to fix it on Nougat, he'll most probably be able to tackle it here also.

Thanks again and kind regards!

PS: The only problem with the approach above was that I had several Google apps installed after the upgrade (e.g. Google app/search, Google calendar, and a few more) which are not part of the Pico variant of OpenGApps. Where did they come from? Are they contained in the ROM itself? I was able to remove them, but I was still wondering. Besides that, Android 7.0 is running perfectly on our beloved tablet, everything smooth and I haven't found any glitches so far… Very impressed!

The fact that this ROM is being updated shows that @adrianom is applying the fixes here as well. Your experience suggests that there is more to be done.
The unexpected Google apps will come from your Data partition, which was not wiped. Either they have been downloaded from Google Play at some time or have had significant updates along the way. Keep what you need and delete the rest. No worries.
Welcome to Nougat

Same here, Google Play Music still exeriencing the sound issue, it worked for 1 song, then totally mute.

 

[superpop]

Hi there, is there a way to change battery screen charge when V500 is turned off? I would like to appear how much is charged, like "xx%". Thanks, very good room.

 

[tmihai20]

Whatever appears when charging the tablet powered off does not appear because of the Rom. If you press once on the power button, while it is charging, you should see at some point an animation with the battery charging and with the percentage.

 

[superpop]

Ok, I know that. I ask if there is a way to change the animation to show percent charged in battery.

 

[tmihai20]

@superpop: I do not think you can do that. It is most likely linked to the bootloader.

To me is working fine, but I make a clean install, try do a clean install.

Is it working fine on Google Play Music? So far its the only app where I have noticed that problem.

 

[platypied50]

I'm running the 8/4 version because I kind of need Google Play Music for this tablet. By the way, this version is still actually fantastic - so improved from stock. However, the one thing that continues to randomly affect my GPad is the "corruption" of the external SD card. I have it set up as storage. Most of us know this has been an ongoing issue with this tablet. My question: has a consensus been reached that this is a hardware issue? If not, is there a version - either in Marshmallow or the Nougat version - which has better success with SD cards? It's the one really irritating thing about this tablet.

Thanks again for the great ROM!

Original, I had official Android 4.4 (rooted) and TWRP Manager on V500.
I installed TWRP 3.1.0 using TWRP Manager and flashed the Android 6.0.1
It was successful. At the end of the flashing it ask me whether to install TWRP App and whether to install it as System App, I said Yes.


I use the latest "platform-tools" to do bootloader unlock, but it always failed, below is what I did according to this post
Quote:

E:\Program Files\Android\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
0a10a3f4868ce1af device
The I run "adb reboot bootloader", V500 reboot, it shows LG logo for a few seconds and then goes into Android 6.0.1, it doesn't goes into this bootloader mode.
Since I can't go into the bootloader, How Can I use Supersu to root?

Just flash in TWRP, like anything else. Make sure you have SR2 SU 2.79 SYSTEMMODE, not Systemless... After flashing it might be usefull to install the SU from the PlayStore because flashing doesn't activate the UI.

I can't flash SU in TWRP App, because the device need to be rooted before I can flash anything in TWRP App.
