CyanogenMod porting status (v480)
Hello, LG G Pad 8 (aka v480) users!
Recently I have fixed the screen bug in CM12 for v480. CM13 is still not working and CM14 is being developed by the official devs. So, what’s next for v480 port?
I have spent a lot of time trying to make CM13 work with no success. Now I am late, CM14 can be already downloaded for several devices and I think that still trying CM13 will be a waste of time. So, I decided to skip CM13 and start porting CM14 (I already downloaded the source tree). I think this is the most intelligent decision by now.
The problem is that I’m very busy because of my work (this week I have to check my students final exams, finish a paper and prepare some documents for next year’s classes). So, I can’t start porting right now.
By the end of November, things will be better for me. So, this week, the only thing you will see is a security update for CM12 (unless the AOSP security patch doesn’t come this week). I intend to start porting CM14 by November 21.
The good thing is that I haven’t quit this port. I’ll try to make it live as long as I can!
Happy Halloween to you all 😀
thank you very much!! 🙂
Nice work, I pretend to install it soon. How much GB it consumes when installed? System Data on original Lollipop Stock ROM consumes 8,96GB more than half of the memory.
Thanks
After installed, I got 11.18 GB of total available space.
After you got everything working, you can take a look into the v490, the lte version? Or do you prefer working on the stability of the v480?
Just asking.
I may try to build a port for v490, but as I don’t have that device, it will be a problem to test.
If anyone who owns a v490 could help, I would make a build and send to him to check if it is working fine. But I’ll do it only after porting CM14.1 to v480.
Olá, seu que a comunidade e em inglês, mas como mais entendo do que escrevo, vou testar e fico empolgado pelo seu trabalho, parabéns!.
Valeu! 🙂
I’ve installed it today and it’s working perfectly, It won 5,000 points compared to the original rom on Antutu. It’s faster, smaller and prettier, Thank You so much! =D
The only con that I’ve found it’s that IR it’s not working, I’ve made a back up of quick remote of original rom but it crashes on this CM Rom, I’ve installed other apps from Play Store and It shows a message saying that it not found my IR device. My TV controller is broken so I’m missing this function =/
Yes, it won’t work. CM ROM doesn’t have those special features implemented by some manufacturers. Anyway, I have plans to try to make it work in the future.
