Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?
I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.
Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?
Thanks!
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.
I just got this from Verizon.
I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?
It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.
Just in case any of those details help ...

They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?
Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?
There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.

It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
The bootloader bypass has been solved:
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html
The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.
I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.
There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.
Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.
There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into

Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?
If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.
Thanks!

Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.

Cannot the functionality be restored via privacy-respecting alternative apps?
What about an app that monitors the bad behavior of the Google code than cannot be removed and blocks execution of data-leeching & activity monitoring?

Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.
To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

I just re-flashed my VX880 last night to stock 5.1.1.
I can give some pointers that I had to work through if you have any questions, or have not gotten any help since last November.
I have spent many hours looking .

Many Many hours wasted on Google,Bing,ect. I haven't found anything. I have seen where some people refer to this as the same as a G2 And others but it's clearly not. But yeah wish someone would put something out. Agreed. I have however figured out how to get Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos to work. So if anyone is interested in knowing how that's done hit me up. All you have to have is root. NO custom recovery. Haven't seen a post on how to do that either? I still have 8 more to go before I can post lol.

Where did you get the rom? Do you have a copy I can get?
Hi Guys,
I really looked forward to playing Pokemon Go and was really shocked when i saw that the release version of it supports just android 4.4. kitkat and onwards but no older versions. My phone is stuck on 4.3 jellybean and cant be rooted so im sitting here sadly now I already managed to get the app installed by using Gmaps patcher, it also starts but won`t let me sign in via google or pokemon club. So now im asking you guys at xda, who are the most amazing guys in android scene, is there ANY possibility to make it work on android 4.3 jelly bean? The fact that it was planned for 4.3. in the beginning and beta testers claimed it would work on that version leaves me with al glance of hope.
Here are some ideas i have as a noob:
Since its possible to install the game and make it run, but just signing in wont work i guess the app is not far from running on 4.3. On top of that the games developer and beta testers claimed it working on 4.3 and onwards. So i guess in early stages it already WAS running on 4.3. Maybe it can be patched or modified in a way that it will work? If so, is anybody willing to work on that proect? Im affraid me as a noob is no option.
The Fact that beta testers and the developer said it would work on 4.3 might mean that an older version or beta version would run on 4.3.? Is there anybody who has a old/beta/field test version to test that?
Is there any other option? Or is it complete hopeless? Please try to help me, i was waiting for this great game so long and now i cant pay it, while all my friends do

Ah that sucks. I think there are some apps that where being back portet. If it's viable to Pokémon go too i dont know through.
You could buy a cheap as android Phone with android 5.0
For example ZTE blade l3 it should be around ~80 to 90 bucks, if you can afford that much

Thank you for our answer. Maybe someone knows if this gets packported maybe? Im sure lots of people would appreciate much.
You can dowload 0.13.5 version.that work.
you can't install apk files that uses higher API level (Pokemon GO, 19) on older Android version (Jelly Bean, 16). It's like trying to use a remote tv controller like a cellphone, you're trying to use a function that your system doesn't have. i don't think a generic patcher can solve this and i don't know where you found that apk, but you should be careful of what you install on your device. Anyway, out of curiosity i checked for you, given the possibility that for some "strange" reason Niantic decided to set the minimum sdk level to 19 without really use any functions that is not supported in Jelly Bean (whaaa? so why use higher API level than? maybe cause if you are running on KitKat you are 90% running on a "new" device, this is faster than making a list of hundreds of compatible phones). Worst case scenario is that you will get a NoClassDef exception (probably) and of course app crash.
(the following is not a piracy attemp, we are not trying to hack anything. it's intended for learning purpose and to satisfy your curiosity)
ok, let's start :
so, you need to set minimum sdk to Jelly Bean level (16)
to do this , you will need to edit the AndroidManifest.xml file, inside the apk, adding this line
("<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16">)
and of course deleting any labels or parameters that are not recognized by 16 API level (in Pokemon Go case : things like android :isGame, android : banner, etc..)
(oh..but you can't just edit the manifest inside the apk, that is compiled. you need to decompile it first)
even if doing this doesn't break the app (very improbable) now you need to recompile it again (just for obtain a new compiled manifest file, that you can inject in the original app using Winrar/Winzip..infact .apk are just jar/zip files).
of course, we can always just edit the compiled manifest, just need to be able to read, unreadble anti human characters.
so, now it's "working" on android 4.1 , but can't get past splash screen, hangs after that
stuck at -- E/dalvikvm(32567): dlopen("libNianticLabsPlugin.so") failed: Cannot load library: load_library(linker.cpp:750): library "libNianticLabsPlugin.so" not found --

i don't think you should distribute a modded apk, even if it's free
anyway i'm really curious, can you tell me what you did? i'm hitting a roadblock
oo
Could we go the other direction? Is it possible to install the required libraries that 4.1/4.3 is missing and fake the system version to Pokemon Go?
Mine wont install at all on 4.3

actually, Pokemon Go can be installed on Android 4.1. it hangs after the splashscreen because it can't "see" some .so files (even if they are inside lib folder). it seems to be cause of a different behaviour of dlopen on different Android platforms.
i'm trying to get a list of dependences for that libray and see if it can be workarounded

Dear Friends
I have bought a Huawei Mediapad T8 and I am trying to find a custom ROM to flash it. Unfortunately there is nothing on Cyanogenmod site.
If anyone has any reference site where I can find ROM s for this model please share it with me.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
Mediapad T8 has android 10 - so it can be part of Project Treble since it is 8+ - it means, you can flash GSI (generic system image) of many of custom roms and no need for certain full rom.
But, I guess, you will need to unlock bootloader and got permissive kernel and probably need to remove encryption for user data before got bootable custom rom.

Dear Friend
Thank you very much for replying to my thread. I admit that it is the first time that I heard about GSI (Generic System Image). I am looking for a custom rom so I can use the Play Store that is now missing from most Huawei devices. Unlocking bootloader is not so hard , I can get the code from Huawei in 7 months from now. Dealing with the GSI is something that I can not manage to be honest. I will wait for a custom rom. Thanx again.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:
https://fossbytes.com/android-custom-roms/
Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Take note that any Android OS ( Stock ROM and/or Custom ROM ) you intend to install isn't device's model/brand dependant, but on device's CPU architecture. Almost all Android device's are powered by an ARM CPU.
Dear Friend
I am a noobie. Which ROM do you suggest for Mediatek MT8768 chipset (Octa-core 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.50 GHz Cortex A53)?
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Can't recommend any because I never used a Custom ROM: I have reasons for this.
Dear Friends
The main reason that I am looking a custom ROM is the advantage of using "Play Store". Otherwise Huawei Android 10 is just fine. Please help me find something that will work 100%. Otherwise I will stay with Huawei Android 10.
Thanx again

Dear friend,
In the meanwhile you can use GPStore alternatives like Aurora store or ApkPure or ApkMirror for apps that can not be found on Huawei's AppGallery.
On the other hand, you can install about 8 to 10 apps from Huawei phone/tablet (before US sticky fingers) in the form of backup and restore them to your tablet. Tutorial like this is simmilar for all phones. Also found some backup on GDrive for HiSuite or usb restore.

Hello Friend
I have installed APKPure , it is very usefull. About 80% percent of the applications are running fine. Unfortunately about 20% require the Google Play Services. I will stick to this solution until Huawei provides me the Bootloader Code (After 12 Months) and a custom rom is created .

Hi
You can just flash GApps pico. It installs Play Store and Google Service.
Do you know if Google apps pico require an unlocked bootloader? What is the process? Do I have to install custom recovery?
Hello.
Please, can someone extract the original apk from the notes and post here? I accidentally deleted mine and now I can't find it. Thanks.
Hi there, i managed to install a google account and a working playstore via this youtube tutorial, and google services is working outside of an irritating notification which you can turn off.

i wouldnt recommend installing a custom rom that is not specifically for your device, especially if you are a noobie. the devices appart from the SOC have many components that require specific drivers. in any case, you have to be extra carefull in following the instructions otherwise ou ll end up with a brick. your best bet is to find a recovery (again for your device) and flash open gapps.

But huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore
Is it possible to root Matepad T8 ?
I think you no longer need Custom ROM to use GApps into this device. I have bought this device few days ago and found a way to run GApps. Just open Huawei AppGallery and look for "GSpace", it will solve GApps issue.
hi,
could anyone tell me what is the official source of duraspeed? the webpage, github or safe download?
how do you install it and get it to work? i have tried the one on apkmirror and it does not install on android 10? is there something you need to do or some trick to it?
I know that you could get it to work on android 10 as i have seem it on someone's phone.
is there any safe alternatives? to stop apps running from boot and kill them after you close them?
many thanks

hi,
thx for advice.
but do you know where to download it from a safe source or even MediaTek and how to install it?
also do you know any alternatives that do the same thing ie.
stop pointless apps starting on boot and some thing to stop an app after you close it? again safe source and no ads?
thank you
My last 2 cents here:
All so-called booster apps are useless crap, are fake. Android OS is smart enough to handle use of system resources at its best.
I'm not the developer of this rom obviously, but the Calyx team recently released CalyxOs for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro in Beta version.
Let's just use this thread to give feedbacks, opinions about this ROM and how it performs on your device!

I flashed CalyxOS on my Pixel 2XL a couple weeks ago and I'm liking it. I think I can finally dump Google Voice, too, so Calyx on P6 might be my next big move.
I flashed my pixel 6. I have to say the installation was fast and really easy ! I have one problem though, I can't install any apk. The weird part is that I can install app with fdroid and aurora but not from apk files. If anyone knows what I can do tell me
I haven't got around to trying it yet. Will test myself and report back. What about from adb? (adb install ...)

I solved my problem. First the file explorer does not have install privilege by default so I gave it the oermission. Then it was duckduckgo browser fault. It removes the extension part, I had to rename the file with an ".apk" at the end.
It might help someone in the future.

root isn't necessary, just an unlocked bootloader and working USB drivers.
I'm not aware of a list but it would be interesting to see one. Narrowing your question to specific apps might fetch a better answer. At one time I ran /e/ Foundations's ROM and never came across app barriers I thought mattered for a de-googled phone.

update : found what i need from aurora store and work on calyx v. 3.1.1
I flashed CalyxOS on Friday with MicroG and I have to say I'm not missing anything so far apart from Google Pay. All my other apps work as they should.
The only problem is some of my most used apps are activated via in app purchases which isn't detected by the Aurora Store, so I've contacted the devs to see if there is a way to activate it manually.
All in all I'm really happy with Calyx so far.
Hi, can someone help me go back to stock rom after installing calyxos .
Update after about a month of CalyxOS and one OTA update. Really happy. Was adamant that I would go with GrapheneOS but somehow COS looked good out of the box and fit my use case real well (no microg). Fdroid, Aurora, Signal all pre loaded for me.
