[ROM][v500][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1 [20151124]

[jesuita]

Installed the rom through the night and today faced a problem - no Wi-Fi at home at least as my AP showed out of range. Could see neighbours AP'S but not mine.

Now going to work set up the usual hotspot on my phone and could connect to it but none of the Google apps (Gmail, plus, YouTube, etc) connected to the Internet, all the others worked. (edit: this one is solved, the date changed back to 1961, corrected and can connect)

Flashed the rom directly from official cm12.1, installed the gapps I had on the tablet (2/3 months old) and flashed kitkat bootloader followed from a dalvik/cache wipe.

Any ideas?

After some testing noticed I had my router configured to use channel 13, after changing to 1 I can see the wi-fi signal.

Can anyone test if there is any problem with recognize wi-fi networks configured to channel 13?

CRDA support should be determined by your location services.

Wi-Fi region code right?
Bull's eye! It wasn't set, changed to Europe, works now.

Thank you :highfive:

cm-13.0 released

I'm glad to announce the first public release of cm-13.0:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/orig-development/v500-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3259135

Everything seems to work as expected, but cm-13.0 is still in development and not yet considered stable. There are some missing translations, and probably not all features are working perfectly, but I think it's decent enough to make a public release and switch to it. Those who want a stable rom should stay on cm-12.1 for a while longer, but I'm not sure if I will release more updates for it since I'm now focused on cm-13.0. BTW, you can update from cm-12.1 to cm-13.0 without wiping data, it will work, but from my experience you will have issues while editing tiles, so a factory reset is recommended. I will disable ota updates from cm-12.1 to cm-13.0 to avoid surprises, if you want to update you will have to do it manually.

There are three significant changes in cm-13.0:
- Tap to wake is now native (not a cmhw feature), so you need to enable it in display settings (it's not enabled by default).
- Bluetooth address is not read from misc partition anymore. There are some selinux (hard-to-fix) denials while using LG blobs for reading the real bluetooth address, so now we use the qcom way of setting the bluetooth address. That means the bluetooth address will not be the real one, and it will change with each factory reset. No big deal, most devices use qcom system for setting the bluetooth address anyway.
- Tethering and hotspot have been disabled, since this is a data less tablet. I made this change following Nexus 7 (2013) code (look here and here). If there was a case in which those were needed, I would consider adding them back.

Guys, anyone with xposed installed with this rom? I tried to install the sdk 22 arm by romracer in twrp but as soon I start flashing it the recovery reboots, anyone experienced this? Thanks a lot.

I know we should not make "thank you" posts but I'll break that rule and thank you for keeping the work in our tablets, how can we donate to you?

I always used 1024kB with my old card and still got unmounts.
interestingly I got dismounts with 3 different sdcards, they all got the same brand (sandisk) and were labeled as "extreme xyz"
one older samsung card worked fine no matter what. now i got a new samsung card (evo) and again it works like a charm.
i also had cards of different size, or tried to change my filesystem/cluster size... only the brand/performance change helped.

i just found an older fujifilm sdcard, if i find the time i will test it, too.

May I ask if you still don't have issues with your Samsung evo sd? Is it an evo or evo plus card? I'm thinking about ordering one... Thanks in advance

I too loved that build, but the battery life on Marshmallow is unreal.

Interesting. Hopefully, b/c I have CM 13 Marshmallow on my Galaxy S5 and there's no significant difference yet. Maybe with later builds....what device do you have Marshmallow on and what's your battery life before/after?

Our G Pad 8.3 On L my average screen time was around 5 hours... maybe 5 1/2. With M I'm projecting at least 7, many times more. The difference was practically immediate with @fefifofum's initial M release.

I'm running these numbers based on an hour of screen time bringing it down to 80% almost religiously on L, where M has been at 86% or better depending on what apps I've been using.

I've also seen increased battery life on My N6 since upping to M, also with no difference in usage.

Still no dismounts "Samsung MicroSDXC 64GB EVO Plus"

What would be the difference between the evo non-plus and the plus, anyway? I got an Evo 64gb NON-plus, but I still get unmounts with it. You said you had an older Samsung card, which one was it?

Nearly two days (one day cm 12.1 the other cm 13) on my new evo plus sd (32 gb) and not a single dismount, remount or anything else (controlled by a sd log app)! Thanks again for this fantastic hint!

Please keep us posted - let us know how it goes in a week or so. If you still get no unmounts, I might just bite the bullet and get an evo+.

I'll do

Strange thing here.
I've been using cm-12.1-20151006-UNOFFICIAL-awifi since two months ago.
I've never had any problem, my sdcard was always inserted and always mounted.
Since yesterday I start to get sd card dismount/mount loops constantly.
I did not change anything, no new software installed, no sd card remove, nothing written to the sd card!!
I tried rebooting, clearing cache, but my SD card is always mounting/dismounting...
I removed sd card and tested it on another tablet I have , reading, writing, sd card is ok, no problems, always mounted!!

how can this be possible?

As promised. No unmount since I have the new sd

I just got an evo+ also and everything seems faster.
