Hello, community! I was wondering if there's any Android 6 rom for LG Optimus L7 II (P712). I was told that CyanogenMod supports through CM13 a lot of LG devices but P712. But I decided to give it a shot anyway and I will share my experience with you.
I took the risk yesterday and I installed CM13 on my cel phone. The installation process was perfect (I used ClockworkMod Recovery), I also installed Gapps perfectly. I rebooted my device and it loaded and updated all the apps (it took like 10 minutes). After that, I had to setup my wifi network, google account, etc. Everything was good so far, but then, when the menues loaded my camera and radio fm weren't shown. The rest of the apps were right there and it recognized my wifi and mobile service provider like a charm (I called and texted myself from another phone). But... after a couple of minutes a pop-up started to show up saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped" and since there, it was a nightmare haha. I couldn't access to my keyboard at all. I understand it's an issue with CyanogenMod and they are trying to fix it.
But after that situation, I decided to flash my device using "Flash Tools 2014" and Android 4.4. If any of you know about another rom with android 6, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
What gapps was used,and which cm13 build?Seems P712 is all like my P713,and on mine i got no lags(excepting camera app,just needs to install another camera and delete stock one).

Hi DS_katauri, thanks for your reply. About gapps, I tried to install different packages (mini, full, nano, stock), I downloaded them from opengapps. But it seems many people are reporting issues like the one I had. Btw, the rom I used was the "cm-13.0-20160330-UNOFFICIAL-vee7-RC2" (I'm a new user so I can't attach links... I downloaded it from androidfilehost, the user who uploaded it has useful things there). Thanks again, for your reply!!

Yep,Neutrondev made a lot of pretty things for our LG.
About ROM,try this one(latest build from Weritos) ,use version for 713 and gapps provided.IDK will CWM work,if no use Neutrondev's TWRP 3.020.Also,gapps should be installed after ROM but before 1st start.Lags are - built-in camera(use snap hdr and delete stock camera and gallery via root),wifi(sometimes connects only manual),no function on qmemo button(not critical at all)...And a specific feature - no internal card only SDcard I'm using it now(actually writing from it).Only three apps make me angry,katemobile(russian vk.com social network alternative client) - can stuck phone(idk why),viber v5x or v6x(both can FC in unknown reason,v4x all okay),and Opera4android(chinese idiots forget the "clean cache" button).
Oh,and launcher,Nova still remains the best.
Good luck and don't forget to backup your current ROM to SD.
Hi DS_katauri, thanks for your reply and all the info you shared with me. Unfortunately, it didn't work on my smartphone. Yesterday, I installed the rom and gapps by Weritos but the camera didn't work at all, it kept asking me for my sd-card (even after I formatted it). For the same reason, I couldn't download photos, take screenshots or anything. And I couldn't install whatsapp because it wasn't compatible with my device anymore, so I had to give up. Thanks anyway for all your help!!

I told U to try snap camera,then play with settings to allow writing on sd(this stuff makes me mad too)Also,opencamera and first version of CyanogenCamera should work too.And,whatsapp,install it not from market.
Will look on new release of Weritos CM13 soon,probably it will help

Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to rooting/flashing mods as well. I have the AT&T version of the Galaxy S2. I just recently rooted and flashed the most recent CM9 nightly on my phone and everything worked great except a, what i hope to be, minor issue. When I first rebooted my phone after the flash, everything looked great but It was apparent my GAPPS zip had not installed correctly as I couldn't see my e-mail or the Play Store (obviously I'm needing to recover things). I re-flashed GAPPS, rebooted, and I saw the Play Store and my e-mail. My problem is when I opened the Play Store, it got stuck on the sign-in. It eventually signed in, I guess (my account has a check by it if I select "manage accounts"). SO, i'm signed in but nothing is loading. I cannot do any searches or retrieve apps. Baiscally, I can't use the Play Store. My phone works fine, otherwise, and it seems the rom flashed cleanly. I followed every instruction very carefully. Please help! I need to retrieve my backup from Titanium and use the market. Don't even have my wi-fi at this point! Thank you in advance if someone can respond quickly.
UPDATE: I think i have 4.0.3 gapps instead of 4.0.4 which is obviously my CM version..this is the entire problem? I just re-flashed *without* wiping data and I'm still getting the same problem. I have the check mark but it's not loading. Cannot turn on wifi. Now Market is not updating to Play Store. What is my problem? Sorry for so much detail.
-Kevin / elevation
IF YOU only want the google play (market) you can use this
full wipe and reflash with latest gapps.
latest gapps are always at goo-inside.me/gapps
Could also try clearing the app data in manage apps.
THANK YOU!

it will work for you....
thank you very much...
Hi guys,
First of all, thanks for the great community, good to be here
I've just got my mediapad at a bargain as 2nd hand and installed 'CleanICE 1.5 Rom (ICS 4.0.3). It has a really great response and installed with such little effort on my part so cheers h25p. I considered a couple other ROMS too, particularly the one posted by 'after_silence', http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856571 CM10 but it is said to have issues with HDMI out (which is an important feature to me) so I haven't tried that one yet.
What I'm trying to do now is boot in to Recovery (so I can install GoogleNow as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843457) but can't seem to figure it out for this ROM.
Has anyone had success doing so with ICS? Or better yet, anyone with experience of the 'glitchy HDMI' on the CM10 Jellybean ROM (is it really bad or is it workable most of the time)?
Cheers guys!
[edit]
used auto recovery installer and got CWM on the device now (after_silence provides link to it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856571)
i thought installing that would wipe everything else so to other newbies, don't be concerned. it's just installing the recovery manager and nothing else is affected
after that i went and installed the 'GoogleNowforICSInstaller_v1.1.zip' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843457) from sd card in CWM but sadly when it boots up there is still no google now. any ideas on where to proceed from here?
Maybe our recoveries doesn't support aroma installer. Try to flash twrp instead of cwm or put manually lib and apk/apks from zip to your system folder (same as it is located in zip), set perrmisions to apk and reboot.

thank you for your suggestion, it has got me one step closer (well I suppose anyway). perhaps from here it is just something to do with the gnow port just not being compatible with my rom? after I install it manually and recheck all the permissions via my file manager, whenever i go to google search it simply says "unfortunately, google search has stopped."
Try to find another moded version. I tried it on stock fw (ICS) few mounths ago and it worked.

Thanks, also posted a logcat dump for one of the Gnow developers and they said there was a lot of location / graphics card errors and also suggested to try another ROM. Ended up flashing JB 4.1.1 AOKP for mediapad 30.1 Final (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876676) and enjoying GoogleNow which comes built in with it.
So far I'm really surprised at how much better it is - initially thought my battery was failing ( purchased my device 2nd hand) but the drain is really low now with this ROM. Seems a bit faster over all too. Didn't test out the HDMI function yet but hope that's not as bad as it sounds. Keeping my eyes open on the development of the 4.2.2 nightlys thread and will probably head over to that once HDMI and bluetooth is working a bit better there

thank you for posting this here! :good:
Many thanks!
Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

No problem, shouldn't be too different than what you're already used to, but I can understand the need for clarification when it comes to different devices as they're all a little bit different.
OK, on 4.2.2, no problems at all after I found how to turn debugging mode on. THAT IS STRANGE

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

@beanstown106
I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.
You wanna post garbage or talk about who's gonna do what, then go to the main Android "Off Topic" forum.
Thread cleaned. (please don't make me come back in here again)

Thanks for the deodexed, recovery flashable rom. I just flashed it and got everything set up. So far everything is running great.

Hey Guys,
I have a couple questions about this android box I purchased that's had me somewhat puzzled.
I have been an avid android user over the past many years. I am familiar with flashing tons of roms to all the phones I have had. Except my s6, it just sucks for roms. Anyways I have purchased the android box in this link (can't post links this new) I can't seem to fine a manufacturer website, I've Google a million things about the box and searched but I can't find anything. even in the instruction book there's no website or anything.
basically I'm looking to figure out how to at least update this box. there's no option in about device. also I don't like how the flash drive on the device is split into nand flash and regular storage. I would like to merge them all into one. I am also looking for custom roms that might enable me to achieve that, however nowhere I look has this box in their forums or anywhere. maybe it's a cloned box? there are other boxes that have the exact same components (or so they say) with custom firmware, however I don't want to chance it and rich bricking this device.
anyone that can offer any help or lead me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

I just picked up one of these about a week ago and found instructions to install TWRP and update SuperSU. The box had 'root' out of the box but it was some specialized root based on an old version of SuperSU (1.93 I believe).
I have successfully installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and updated to SuperSU 2.46.
Since this is just an android tablet essentially, does anyone know if you can flash these ROMs through TWRP?
Not to my knowledge, just use above tool. It will go alive once you are in bootloader with usb otg cable connected to win (of course with driver pack etc. installed). Titanium or else can do that, instead of trying to press reset button while powering on. Of course recovery will go back to default.

Are you running liamstears custom ROM or the 12/22 factory firmware?
The split internal storage is something I would like to do without, but I was wondering if it was changed on the 12/22 factory firmware?
12/22 firmware. Fast and stable.
Havent tried liamstears yet. Feedback if you do please.
awesome thanks! thats what I suspected when I was going through the firmwares for these devices. I just wasn't sure if the z4 rk3368 device would work on this one. I've seen a few brands with z4 and as I know with phones.. wrong brand and you're bricked lol. anyways.. I ended up buying a tronsmart vega s95 telos.. but it didn't come rooted. so I rooted it and now I'm getting play services force close and all sorts of bugs and errors.. maybe I'll just keep the z4. it seems to work better.
what link did you follow to get twrp installed?? same thing I'm guessing, punch z4 twrp in google and eventually come upon the right place.
12/22 factory firmware? mines stuck at Nov 10 I think.. it won't let me update using the rk settings app.. which is why I was fed up with it in the first place lol.
12/22 firmware. Unified 16gb App storage. More available with microsd card. Fully functional Kodi with channels, etc. 4k HEVC x265 movies. Youtube 1080p.
Easiest method to update rom is to put extracted update.img from zip file
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro/2016/01/download-latest-android-lollipop-511.html?m=1
on a sdcard / usb and boot. After about a minute into the Android desktop, system will ask for update prompt. Only applicable to system still with default recovery.
If you have some stability issues or with different recovery, you can backup your apps / data with Titanium etc. and then use above Factory tool restore new rom.
These roms usually come with their own recovery, but some modded ones with TWRP/full root, supersu and all. But you dont really need them.
thanks a lot man! I'm downloading right now and will test it on my box tomorrow after work!
I've tried 100 times and it just keeps saying failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (no such device)
I'm using my USB flash drive.
this is becomming a huge pain in the just to update I'm starting to think why this company can make these products and not have any support or anything for it . and that flash tool is in mandarin and I can't even figure out how to work that. I put in the update.img and press go.. but whenever I try to boot to download mode like you mentioned in one of the posts it just turns off the box.. this thing is literally a piece of junk. and so is this tronsmart vega s95.. same thing. it's extremely frustrating. whoever developed this z4 box did a really chappy job on the firmware.. and I do not recommend it to anyone..
If you had gone through the instructions pdf, it clearly shows how to change into English by pressing the World icon. Remember in bootloader mode the tv screen would be black, if you are using the tool. The big red button will turn into green to show readiness.
For automatic update you dont even have to go into recovery as seen in attached image. Easiest.
Hi Roland,
love to see that there are already XDA-members looking at the Z4 TV box. I have just ordered one and hope to get it within a few weeks. Just some dumb questions, hoping you can provide me with some information:
- I see that there are several 'versions' of the Z4: for instance Acemax, but I have ordered the Andoer. Are those just different manufacturers?
- Are there any differences in model/content (installed app's) per manufacturer?
- If my Andoer turned out to have an older firmware than the 22/12, could I still use the Acemax 22/12 firmware you refered to in your link?
- Kodi will be preinstalled, I saw. I do not know what version of Kodi that will be, but can it just be updated to the most recent version in the Google Play Store?
- I do not know what other apps are installed, but is it possible to de-install apps you do not need, or are they part of the firmware and impossible to delete
I know, part of the answers I surely will discover once I got the Z4, but I just can't wait to start experimenting, even it is only in my mind
Thanks in advance!
Jos
hi Roland
I tried that batch tool first which is the one I couldn't change languages in lol. but the other tool with the red button I changed into English. however I did not know that it would remain blank when in download mode. I will have to give it one more go tonight with it. I figured that I loaded it into bootloader and the z4 box light turned red so I thought it was off and didn't load to bootloader.
I also did the USB update and it would just fail on me every time I used it. the update prompt did come up and I pressed install. perhaps I need to check if USB debugging is on. I think it is but it wouldn't hurt to check. but I think I will have to go through the factory tool to update way for sure.
thanks for your help roland, I will write back after I give it another go tonight!
i can't find the 22/12 update ! can anybody share the link direct to firmware ?
@DriftJos
l have got an Andoer too. Most of these brands come from the same hardware factory and thus have the same specs/apps.
Yes you will use the same firmware https://mega.nz/#!JBBXgDgC!VSra8Hc6KR77Pvdw67eDpjeT_ku-TXdYgYaInSAfyvU (direct link @prisim) or several user dev roms. Unified 16gb app storage etc and the works.
You can uninstall bundled Kodi (by Titanium free etc.) by official Kodi Jarvis 16.0 beta 5 & such with pass-through support test builds @ http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852
Again you will be able to uninstall useless apps directly or through Titanium.

Always mention the firmware version you are having and which recovery? The automatic update should work if you still have the factory recovery.
Check the FactoryTool process in attached images.
I'm trying to flash the firmware that I downloaded from that China gadgets site that was mentioned on this thread. I think it's the stock 12/22 for the device. and I have stock recovery.
I extracted the update.exe file and saved it to my USB drive plugged it in and restarted. relieved the update prompt. chose install update and it rebooted into recovery and tried to apply the update but it fails. I'm not ready to give up yet with this device lol. it's just another platform I have to learn. it took me a bit with smartphones to figure it out back in the day.. perhaps it's the same thing now..
and I'm updated to 12/22.. awesome. those pictures really helped me man thanks.
now as for installing twrp and all that. you mentioned that it's not really needed? I'm assuming I can flash any rom given they are in .img format using factory tool. however the benefit of twrp would be an easier interface for creating nandroid backups and clearing cache/factory reset. perhaps I will install it. i might give leamstears rom a try. I will let you know how it is if I do.
thanks again!
so I updated to the new 12/22.. everything works fine except with Google play store.. I keep getting a can't retrieve source error with everything I try to download. I've refreshed and factory reset the firmware 5 times now and kept trying.
so I got fed up with the stock so I tried leamstears rom and it works great.. except sometimes it just becomes completely unresponsive. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with this box. even on stock firmware from the box I've been having issues with unresponsive freezing.
what do you think of the nvidia shield?

The PlayStore error you were seeing is because the 12/22 firmware comes with a *very* old version (5.2.x). The PlayStore will eventually update everything to the latest version by itself but if you don't want to wait, go over to apkmirror.com and download PlayStore 6.0.5 and install it manually. Once you do, it should also update the Play Services to 8.4.x and your should be good to go. I had this issue as well but I had seen it before and knew I needed to update.
So far the 12/22 version has been great, and having the unified internal storage is a huge plus.
If you feel so inclined, knowing that some of the custom builds of Kodi take up a large amount of space... there is this trick that was introduced in Helix:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change data location for Android
This will allow you to have only the Kodi app on internal storage (~125 MB) and any data from addons/programs etc. in another location (such as an external SD).
I often
1. Install Kodi on internal storage
2. Zip up the contents of org.xbmc.com directory
3. Copy it to external storage
4. Unzip it in /external_sd/kodi_data
5. Create the xbmc_env.properties file that references my Kodi data location.
6. Delete the contents of /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.com/
Voila! You have freed up internal storage.... You can also persist a Kodi setup this way or run multiple custom installs. If you re-image your media box, you can re-install Kodi and as long as the xbmc_env.properties points to your external_sd with your Kodi data, it will start right up back into your setup... :good:
Hi there, I "ported" Cyanogenmod 12.1 rom from Lenovo Tab 2 a7-20 (from this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bxd-XcN0S63qWjJoTVlkRXlrams which I found on this russian website: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=711492&st=1100#entry63268934) to our Lenovo Tab 3 710f with Cygwin and kitchen, succesfully installed it on the device with no flashing errors through Tzul's TWRP (see: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298949373) and then flashed the patch for the rom which I previously ported as well, then proceeded to install Gapps 5.1 pico, succesfully too.
Now the problem begins..., whenever I try to boot into the rom, it loads a little while on Lenovo splash screen just to go back to TWRP recovery menu, and it always does that. I referred to Android's Kitchen FAQ (see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) but I have no good knowledge nor adequate time to setup Android SDK and debug the issue with logcat, or in any other way that I know of, so I ask for somebody to help me sort out this problem and hopefully fix it so the rom may be bootable and usable, then the community may have the FIRST EVER ACTUAL CUSTOM ROM for this device, furthermore, making it stable. YOU WILL GET ALL THE CREDIT. (well, 99.9 of it)
Here are the PORTED files.

HI.
Im also a 710F owner. Did you get anywhere with this. Did you get your rom to boot. I'm greatly in need of a custom rom for the 710f.
Kind Regards
Any update on this? What exactly happens in the TWRP?
Custom ROM at last
UpdatedHello there, I successfully found the work of a developer who tried to do what I did, but with success, just flash the latest july rom after formatting system, dalvik, data, (not internal storage) etc..., After it installs I advice you to immediately install gapps nano, and then reboot.

Just follow my instructions and install the July 2 rom.
Hey man, thanks for finding this. However, when I try and flash the ROM I get Error: 7 although I have the 710F version.
Error 7 means wrong ROM.
David uploaded 2 roms, for the Tab2A710F and the TB3-710F.
I flashed the TB3-710F and it works.
Works very nicely.
MicroG works too, no need for Google Apps.

Sorry. There are Two Little Bugs. YouTube only has up to 360p. When the screen is locked, it rotates.

Thankyou for finding this rom
Getting Error 7 with both the firmwares.
Edited the updater-script and then got "incompatible data, can't flash" in TWRP.
Edit: Managed to flash the ROM by formatting the cache to ext4, but now I'm facing the storage bug, it's showing 5GB instead of 8GB.

Hola, necesitaria que pusieras un tutorial de como instalar paso a paso Cyanogenmod 12.1 en mi tabletlenovo tab 3 710f, ya que no encuentro la manera de hacerlo.
Gracias!!!
Hey thanks for it. I just wanna know how can I remove some apps before flashing it like File Manager, Email, Browser??
One bug I am encountering related to MAC address of the device, The MAC is changing on every on/off of WIFI radio?? How to fix it as my router can only connect limited number of devices??
...
Thank you!
Thanx a lot man!
You really saved my day, that others did mess up!
I rooted my device + wanted use custom roms.
It was an another website that had information and it was to "Tab 3 710F, but that fxxxxxg website only had roms to "tab3 710I".
I really messed up my pad.
Anyway I have some questions, the partition in my pad is only 5GB, do you know why?
Is the original Stock rom spooking around in some partition of 3GB?....as the internal memory in the pad is 8GB total...
Since this Cyanogen is based on Android 5 it dont support Adoptect storage on the fly.
I wanted originally to install Android 6 to this pad, Lenovo dont want to give it to me and thats the main reason why I rooted.
Is it possible to move whole applications to SD card and run from there?
Since the internal memory is so bad in this pad I really would like to use this feature!!!
Anyway I like this rom since unnesserary bloatware are gone and its good there is no playstore or gmail, since this pad is to one of my children and they dont really need these

freaking awesome man! Three bugs
1 - YouTube is only at 360p
2 - Camera is just at 1.5 (or something like that pixels)
3 - Doesn't recognize the device when I plug on the PC
Just to thank all of you for saving my kids tablet back to life!!!
It's sad that youtube is limited at 360p, but they will live with that.
Thanks!
You only hear the sound on live YouTube programs.
Is there any solution?
