v490 updates
Hello all, and Happy New Year! 🙂
It’s been a while from the last v490 update. I’ve had some issues at the end of last year and forgot to make a December build:
- My Nexus 5 has died: I was trying to fix its Wi-Fi hardware and happened to broke the whole thing. Now I’m struggling with a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Duos TV (long name, shitty hardware) until I buy a new phone. A good new phone in Brazil costs too much and some good brands are not available here (no Pixel, for example). I want to buy a OnePlus 5T soon from GearBest.
- LineageOS 15.0 for LG G Pad 8: until now, mycax could make it boot, but no Wi-Fi and no sensors at all. He tried to use a modified aboot image but the device bricked. I’m gonna go back to work with him on this next month.
- Co-advisor in a MS work: currently, I am spending much of my time being a Co-advisor Professor in a MS work. This is top priority for now.
I wish you all a happy flashing! 🙂
Happy New Year to all! Thanks a lot for maintaining V490’s rom and keep it alive! I wish you good luck with Lineage 15!
Hello,
any progress with LineageOS 15?
Not yet. Seems like it won’t work at all because of sensors’ issues.
Anyway, thank you for maintaining LineageOS for our device!
Best regards
Didier
You have done a really great job and my v490 is currently running Android 7.1.2!!! But i must say i am thinking of going back to Lollipop because everything is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow… Before i do it i thought it would be good to share it with you in case i am doing something wrong. (Using latest open Gapps package as suggested)
Hi, Panos.
I also noticed the performance decrease. I think it is related to system updates (Android is getting heavier) and apps. My Nexus 5 is also not so fast as before. 🙁
Hi just,
I hope you are doing great! Just a quick question there.. Because I saw that you have dropped support for v490 I want to ask if it is possible to install the v480’s rom on my tablet. (I don’t need LTE.)
Thanks a lot for this update surprise mate! It was really not expected! I’m downloading and start installing right away!
Fiz todo o processo com o flashfy e o twrp. No entanto ao mandar reiniciar ele entra num fastboot loader e só da opção de reiniciar/reiniciar booloader ou poweroff. E nas duas primeiras opções a tela fica preta. Quando desligo volta no boot loader fast e fica nesse ciclo. Como posso fazer o tablet entrar no modo gráfico novamente?
