Unofficial port of CyanogenMod 7
Discussion thread -->

FAQ -->
Old Baseband only. New one will be supported when I will have more free time.
Only beta6.6 and above configured to use 2.6.35 kernel!
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Known bugs:
Divx/xvid playback don't work (use MoboPlayer)
Strange crash in Camera (Restore defaults in video mode)
ADW: Widgets: crash after Choose Catalog
Empty device serial number (IMEI is ok, official firmware has same bug)
6.6.1 only: zoom need to be refixed
For apps2sd use Darktremor.
If you get bootloop or stuck at LG logo do next:
Sometimes Recovery can't format /system so you need to clear /system manually. You can do it with this zip (flash as always in recovery), or in mounts menu (clockworkmod recovery only), or with adb:
1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system/*
You get 1 error. This is ok.
Will update if I found this bug.

Will be great.
I did not work with debuggin android system at device, but it must be not very hard. "About Phone" bug should be simple uninitialized variable (probably MAC address of wlan0). You can try to find out it. Maybe for this you need to build "eng" or "user-debug" version. Some info about debugging here. I'l try to do this too.
Sorry mik, it is #cyanogenmod-dev . I've edited my post.
Will love to try it.
Big cheers for mik_os and others (andy572)
I was closely following other thread Lets Bake a Gingerbread.
you should explain what kind of recovery we must use to flash it!
great job mik!!!!
Mik, I cannot test it. After install it blows with FC's. Dialer, DRM Service, LgSetupWizard.
I've downloaded the zip twice, wiped everything...

Sometimes recovery can't format /system so do this manually (In mounts submenu must be "format /system").
upd: AmonRa hasn't this future
You can remove all files from there:
1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system
Will update if I found this bug.
After mounting I get this error: rm: cannot remove '/system/lost+found': Directory not empty and rm: cannot remove '/system': Device or resource busy

This is ok. Flash zip once more.
Works. The UI is not slow at ALL. It moves pretty quick.
DSPManager does not work. -> FC
Mik, if you can fix the lockscreen issue this could be a daily ROM ! How can we help you ? What can we provide ?
flashing it right now
we'll see
Can you guys confirm if 2.3 actually fixed the touch bug ?

Stock browser does not use hardware acceleration (Please use Google Chrome)
Sometimes wake up causes music stutter
Cannot changed advanced settings from dialer settings (e.g. reverse lookup) when dual SIM is enabled
Compass in "Sygic" app (works fine in other apps)
Does not work on 4.1 stock ROM's bootloader, please upgrade to 4.2 before flashing
Additionally, Dual SIM has the following limitations:
Both SIMs are always enabled (no way to disable one SIM)
"Receive incoming call while data is enabled" is always enabled
The QuickSettings tile will display the status for the currently selected SIM for data
There is no arrow activity indicator in the status bar.
Changing 2G/3G network mode using the QuickSettings toggle is not supported, only do it from Settings.
3G may not work properly if Dual SIM mode is enabled with only 1 SIM inserted
Cannot set different ringtone for each SIM
Call logs doesn't know the incoming SIM
Installation
Make a backup!
If you were on CM 10.1 or a stock ROM prior to 4.2, upgrade to 4.2.
Install TWRP recovery with SELinux support. Older CWM will result in a "status 7" error.
Install the ROM using TWRP
Optionally install the Google Apps Addon
Wipe data if coming from stock
Optionally enable dual SIM support (See FAQ)
To upgrade to a newer build, simply flash the zip. There's no need for data wipe or flashing Google Apps again.

FAQ
How do I enable/disable Dual SIM?
Dual SIM support is enabled by default. If you only use 1 SIM and wants to disable Dual SIM support, you can use the following instruction:
Enable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds
Disable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config none
(Instruction screenshots)
Can you include Feature X into your ROM?
No. This ROM will have CyanogenMod's feature set.
Can you include S-Note/S-Planner/MultiWindow/Insert Samsung App Here?
No. This is an AOSP ROM and cannot have TouchWiz applications.
Can you include call recording?
No. CyanogenMod does not include call recording to avoid potential legal issues.
Can you add Feature X to the stock ROM?
No. I don't work on stock ROMs.
What kernel does this ROM use?
A slightly modified version of the stock kernel, the source code is linked above.
I've heard that Broadcom doesn't release source, how can you make this ROM?
Contrary to the popular belief, userspace driver source code is not always required to make an AOSP-based ROM as long as the proprietary binaries shipped with the device does not modify the API too heavily (or is from a very different version of Android). Instead of modifying the source code of the drivers, the Android source code was adapted to be able to use the proprietary binaries.
Can I use your ROM as a base?
http://source.android.com/source/licenses.html
Most of Android/CyanogenMod is licensed under the Apache License with other small parts licensed under other open-source licenses. Which means that you may modify and redistribute without asking for permission as long as the proper credits is given and it is not misappropriated as being the official CyanogenMod. (In other words, you must say that it is based on pawitp's unofficial CyanogenMod, but is not related to CyanogenMod in any other way.)
Will you make this official CM?
Due to the amount of work and commitment involved, I am not planning to make an official CM port.
Can contacts be saved to phone/SIM?
No. It is not supported in AOSP-based ROMs.
Can I send files over Wi-Fi Direct?
Yes, but you must use third-party applications. The implementation provided on Samsung ROMs is not an open standard. AOSP/CM does not provide a native way to send files over Wi-Fi Direct.
Can I mirror your ROM?
You're free to, but I will not list it in this post.
Will feature X from a previous version of CM be implemented?
I don't know, probably will be, eventually. I don't really involve myself in the feature-set side of CM.
Will you OTA support?
No. CM Updater is present on the device, but it only works for official devices. I'm not interested in adding an alternative update mechanism. If you want to know when a new ROM is released, follow the rss feed at http://goo.im/rss&path=/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0.
I cannot add APNs
Make sure you set the correct MCC/MNC code, the APN will not appear otherwise. Also make sure to use menu -> save (back button means discard).
Recovery asked me "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
Short answer: "yes" or "no" doesn't matter
Long answer: Newer versions of CM starts including recovery with the ROM. However, this does not get flashed unless the "Update CM recovery" option in system settings gets ticked. If you say "no", the current recovery will not get overwritten (unless you enabled the "Update CM recovery" option), but it will continue prompting you every time. If you say "yes", CM's recovery flashing mechanism will be disabled until a newer version of the ROM is flashed.
I get "Throttle Limited Exceeded" or "We currently accept only US numbers" when an unknown number calls
It's a bug of all CM11 ROMs with the reverse lookup code in the dialer. You can work around it by
1) Disable dual SIM
2) Go to dialer settings and disable "reverse lookup"
3) Re-enable dual SIM
Does this custom kernel work? Does this app work on this ROM?
Please ask the in Q&A thread maintained by chotu22. If you're experiencing any problems while running a custom kernel or other system modifications, please remove those modifications and test again before filing a bug report.
Reporting Bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread.
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. The following is a useful format to follow.
Code:
What is your--
Phone model (I9060 or 9060L):
Radio (baseband):
CM version:
CM Download url:
Gapps version:
Did you--
wipe:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:
Are you using--
a task killer:
a non-stock kernel:
CMSettings/Performance settings (other than stock):
ART Runtime:
Dual SIM:
other modifications:
Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed:
Thanks
- The CyanogenMod team for providing a great ROM. Without all the compatibility work which went into it, this ROM would've been much harder to make

Feedback issues
For the last night, I tried to replace for recovery with TWRP instead of unofficial PhilZ CWM after successfully flashed since last month ago, then I wiped all of the data away from the stock ROM except for external storage, and then I installed an unofficial CM 11 ROM.
EDIT I: Never mind, the previous build (9/17/2014) still works, but it has a red exclamation mark is in again, and not current (9/20/2014).
EDIT II: My father told me for invoice calling seems doesn't work unless you have solved to fix the problem.

Known Issues (regarding latest available Stable build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
Rarely, when you wake-up the device, touchscreen will have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?)
Wireless Display with some TVs could cause issues (AOSP bug related to HDCP, and Google doesn't provide a solution)
Video Stream through Screencast & Wireless Display will have inverted Red and Blue color channels due to BGR Pixel Format (actual Exynos sources don't allow to fix it)
Any Chinese (CHN, I9500XCUxxx codename) Baseband/Modem reduces Call Quality (due to forced AMR_WB, unsupported by CHN modems)
5GHz Wi-Fi Networks using Band B (52-140) and Band C (149-161) channels won't be listed (H/W or S/W bug?)
Reporting Bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

Read carefully.
Differences between GearCM (Optimized CyanogenMod) and Official CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY):
Degrated Shadow said:
Enough of those dumb questions..
The official CM rom is maintained by @Alberto96 and @intervigil
He makes the very recent changes here relating to performance.. which are then in time pushed to CM official rom. The kernel is different because it has selinux disabled and few minor tweaks you might not even notice.. this gearcm rom will have more performance. But CM rom will have their updated base changes which are included here with each update.
What I mean is you probably wont even notice what's different in terms of user interface.. gearcm will have more performance. Official cm will have updated sources. But it will include gearcm's changes in time as @Alberto96 pushes them to CM
You can decide by a simple choice. more performance and not-nightly updated sources or similar performance (improving with nightly updates) with updated sources. I would choose gearcm because of the reasons I mentioned above. Do what you will.. and let this be a note to everybody who ask this again and again and again. Don't spam the thread with same question in every alternate page.. Because there are other people who might have different problems they need to ask. Read atleast 15 previous pages and the first post changelog before asking the question. Reading most of the times will give you a solution and if not most of the info you will read will help you anyway.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Where are "Performance" and "Developer Options" categories?
To activate 'Performance' and 'Developer Options' categories in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.
How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?
Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".
What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?
Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible).
I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?
1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app's name. Donation version is recommended because it allows deeper hibernation of apps
2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)
3) Make sure that your 2G/3G mobile network signal level isn't always low or unstable
4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)
5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts
6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)
7) Use one of the latest Modem/Baseband listed on first post.
8) Disable Ambient Display
9) Install Xposed Framework and configure Amplify
If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:
Is GearCM OTA supported?
Yes (Since 20150707 Build)
Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?
Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.
Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
Can i disable S-View cover features (lock/unlock)?
Not yet.
*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?
Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
Any question about "Can't connect to camera" issue
Do not "stress" camera on CM because we don't use yet a proper implementation. Open/Close Camera apps carefully without force-closing them.
fix stock camera try flash this zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2a7hegwzu9ft2c/Fix_Camera_Cmmct_5.0.zip?dl=0
Been using lollipop as a daily driver with awesome results. But still there's something that bugs me. Although GPS works fine I find that its accuracy is pretty low.
For instance I run in order to keep fit. I use adidas miCoach which calculates your speed and distance covered giving as result km speed (from Argentina). GPS has a hard time keeping up with this and every time I train I revert to TW and then back to Lollipop.
Will test this GPS and see if its better than team Cajinica
does this rom have working bluetooth calls over car stereo?

Great. Downloading now[emoji1]
"App not installed" if manually install an apk.
Is there any workaround?
@Alberto96 haven't test it on GearCM 11. I'll try and report back asap
Can't install apks.
Although pushing apks to system works. Titanium backup in not able to restore as well.
Edit: I guess Titanium Backup does work. Not with the default superuser though. I flashed supersu to get it working in frapeti's rom, strange.

With GearCM 11 latest build GPS is pretty accurate. Used Waze while driving and miCoach while walking and had good results.
Further testing done with the build posted (20141216) I can't access SD card to install apks that are not from playstore for example BBS, and getting the low memory message even if full wiped and fresh installed.
Can't install APK in this Build ...
Storage Issues
@Alberto96 Hey man there seems to be an issue with your Kernel please take a look at the changes u made as they seem to be the cause of peope not being able to install any APKS and Install from playstore as its complaining about the storage being low so what i did is compile with CM kernel and tested it and the GearCm works fine without any storage issues but if I compile it using ur GearCm Kernel thats where theres storage issues. Please take a look at it
Thanks for your time and dedication of this Alberto. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time with your CM12 Releases
With CM12-20141212v2 (I did a clear wipe) and no RIL Service. So I was not able to use it basically...
Today I gave it a second try CM12-20141216 . I was happy to see my 3G Connection. But when I started to download the app from Play Store. It was impossible. All APKS giving an error.
I will test Canjica Version. It's a pity but I will have to wait till we get to a stable version of Android 5.0.1 with GearCM12.
Despite of that, Thanks for your work on this! We wouldn't have this if it wasn't because of you
Heads Up
Brilliant to have 5.0 on our phones, look and feel is really cool.
Confirmed Working:
Calls, SMS, Internet (WIFI & 3G), Camera, Gallery
FC's:
Music, File manager, Play store (all google apps) & anything else which is on the SD card
Keep it up guys:good:
Application not installed?
thanks for update 12\21 @Alberto96 ...but issue with installing apk is here.
New build is coming with some fixed, especially performance related.
New build is up!
Enjoy

Known Issues (regarding latest available Stable build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
Current Audio HAL doesn't properly wake up audio devices from standby, causing issues with some VOIP apps. Check FAQ for Workaround -- WIP | Highest Priority -- #1
While in-call (on second call) using headphones/headset, audio could be routed to the Earpiece. Enable/Disable Speaker or Plug Out/In the Audio Jack to fix it. (Probably linked to #1) -- WIP | High Priority --
While in-call using earpiece the receiver will hear a little echo effect if volume is set to maximum. Reduce volume to fix it. -- WIP | Medium-High Priority --
After each boot Camera won't take pictures on first start. You'll need to close the app and re-open it to get Camera working. -- WIP | Medium Priority --
Wireless Display with some TVs (HDCP-dependent ones) could cause issues (AOSP bug related to HDCP. Google doesn't provide a solution) -- Unknown Status | Low Priority --
Rarely, when you wake-up the device, the touchscreen could have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?) -- Probably won't be fixed | Undefined Priority --
Reporting Bugs
First of all, read this: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

Read carefully.
Important! Read this before any other question/doubt.
If someone doesn't like my ROMs, or doesn't like me, or even better, doesn't want to like/appreciate my works, then you can just go ahead and use/follow someone else works. Easy, not against XDA rules, and smart.
I'm not here for "fame" (or "glory" as someone in this forum said) unlike someone else, neither this is my job. I'm working on this device just because TW is far than usable (at least for me) on every Samsung device, not because someone else requested me to do it.

Differences between GearCM (Optimized CyanogenMod) and Official CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY):
Degrated Shadow said:
Enough of those dumb questions..
The Official CM rom is maintained by @Alberto96 and @intervigil
He makes the very recent changes here relating to performance...which are then in time pushed (even if partially) to CM Official Sources. The kernel is different because it has seLinux disabled and few minor tweaks you might not even notice...this GearCM ROM will have more performance. But CM will have their updated base changes which are included here with each update.
What I mean is you probably wont even notice what's different in terms of user interface. GearCM will have more performance. Official CM will have updated sources. But it will include GearCM's changes in time as @Alberto96 pushes them to CM
You can decide by a simple choice..more performance and not-nightly updated sources or similar/worse performance (improving with nightly updates) with updated sources. I would choose GearCM because of the reasons i mentioned above. Do what you will...and let this be a note to everybody who ask this again and again and again. Don't spam the thread with same question in every alternate page...because there are other people who might have different problems they need to ask. Read at least 15 previous pages and the first post Changelog before asking the question. Reading most of the times will give you a solution and if not most of the info you will read will help you anyway.

Where is "Developer Options" category?
To activate 'Developer Options' category in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.
What can i do to fix VOIP audio calls?
There's not a real fix yet, so i found this useful workaround that could help you.
If you need to make a VOIP call:
1) Play something using stock music player (also third-party music players SHOULD be fine)
2) Do not pause audio playback
3) Make a call using your preferred VOIP app.
Or you can just use a Wired Headphone/Headset | BT Headphone/Headset.
This workaround should work also for incoming VOIP calls.
How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?
Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".
What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?
Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible). Shouldn't be required on latest builds.
I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?
1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app's name. Donation version is recommended because it allows deeper hibernation of apps
2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)
3) Make sure that your 2G/3G mobile network signal level isn't always low or unstable
4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)
5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts
6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)
7) Use one of the latest Modem/Baseband listed on first post.
8) Disable Ambient Display
9) Install Xposed Framework and configure Amplify
If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:
Is GearCM OTA supported?
Yes (Since 20150707 Build)
Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?
Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.
Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
Can i disable S-View cover features (lock/unlock)?
Not yet.
*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?
Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
Any question about "Can't connect to camera" issue
Do not "stress" camera because we don't use yet a proper implementation. (Exynos limited open-source env.) Just Open & Close Camera apps carefully without force-closing them. (and do not do this frequently)

The year is 2082. Society as we know it has collapsed and the world is but a nuclear wasteland. I haven't seen or talked to another human in weeks. Food is scarce and shelter is hard to come by... But life lingers on, even if just for a while longer, nature tries to heal itself with the little sunlight that manages to reach the ground through the dense clouds of soot. Last night I heard screams coming from the forest of dead pine trees, east of the abandoned glass factory. I'm not sure if they were human screams or the calls of an alternate, but I'm not eager to find out... I must hurry and head north, this place is no longer safe. To add insult to injury, I broke my only weapon while I was trying to cut down a few tree branches to light a fire... until I find materials to fix it, my possessions are my pet dog Alex, an half eaten can of beans and my ME173X running Android 69 with the latest security updates.
I'm waiting for the continuation and publication of this work in the form of a book.
Haha
This made my day
Cheers

This is great! Thank you so much! I never expected so much support for this tablet...
Unfortunately, I really need GPS so I have to wait for another build...
Thank you very much for providing builds for this tablet! The 13 build really helped us a lot, as our 2-year-old could watch downloaded Peppa Pig episodes from Netflix during long vacation drives. Although I did had to download a previous major version of the Netflix APK to get it to work on Android 6.
As this version doesn't have Widevine DRM, Netflix won't work, I guess. The current version of Netflix from the app store needs at least Android 7, so it would be nice if this new build would also support that in the future. Is it possible to flash that somehow, or would you need to compile that during build-time? If so, it that planned, or are there any technical difficulties regarding that?

First of all: thank you so much for giving us Andoid 7 for this old thing!
I just found out that Adaway won't install from F-Droid:
Error installing AdAway
Parsing apk file failed! Maybe minSdk of apk is lower than current Sdk? Look into logcat for more specific warnings of Android's PackageParser.
My observations of LG kernel up to 20220911
- battery charging VERY slow
- rotation sensor not working
- camera not working
- fast stock, slow with GAPPS
Maybe these are already on the todo list. Great to have A7 on this still usable tablet.

hi
rotation sensor not working :
Yeah this is stated on the "not working" status " > Sensors: accelerometer (autorotation)"
I could never fixed this sensor on my kernel
battery charging VERY slow
The device can be very picky with chargers, with the stock charger it can charge up to 1.2 AMP @ 5v
fast stock, slow with GAPPS
Yeah GAPPS really have an huge impact on devices, it runs really smooth without GAPPS installed
Google sucks
camera not working
This is very nice report ( Thanks ) every single user that reported me the front camera isn't working has an device with the LG screen...
I just bought my third ASUS ME173X and got it yesterday ( since my kid broke the second one .. )
unfortunately all my tablets have the same nt35521 Screen ( really hopping to grab an LG variant ) for testing :/
cheers
How can I find out, what screen our tablet has?
Plz help! I can't root this rom, can you give a manual or something? I've tryed everything

Don't mind the second pic, that's just it being used as a wireless monitor

You need to be running any of stock firmware with root rights.
There's many apps that facilitate the task like "deviceinfohw" , give the app root on settings, and on the main page it'll show you what LCM you device has.
