got my lg gpad x8.0 tablet from Tmobile recently. i download the APK of Whatsapp version 2.17.254 , which must be the latest. it appears in my download folder. i touch for install , but it says my tablet is incompatible . is anybody using whatsap in LG G PAD X 8.0? please share any experience or clues. thank you
I have it working. I downloaded the apk and install it. Then inside the WhatsApp setup process I had to manually input the tablet phone number to get a text with the verification code and indeed I got the text on the tablet.
I did this last year and I am running Android 6.0 also I was rooted when I first tried to install WhatsApp, so don't know if any of this two things contribute to make it possible. But I had no problems, very straight forward to install WhatsApp once you have the apk

The Lenovo Yoga Android Tablets 10"(b8000) and 8"(b6000) (aka Yoga Blade) seem to be the red headed step child around here.
I feel like I dropped the ball back in December when I started to try to get CyanogenMod on the b8000 and never finished.
Working with MTK processor was intimidating and demoralizing.
Things seem to have changed a tiny bit since I dropped out. There is a new Firmware update (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/5045-rom-yoga-10-b8000-a422-000-072-140122-ww-wifi-ota/) and a TWRP recovery is available (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/4517-...oga-tablet-b6000-wi-fi-и-3g-b8000-wi-fi-и-3g/).
There is no update to the kernel source (http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/en-us/products/yoga_tablet_10?tabname=downloads).
Anyone gotten a custom ROM, especially CM, on the Yoga Blade?
I thought it would be easier to get CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) up and running, since that is the official stock version.
Of course I'd be ecstatic to get CM11 running.
I'd like to make another attempt at this, but I do not think that I can do it alone.

Is it worth effort?
As this is an MT8389 Soc running @1.2Ghz is it really orth theeffort to do all this CWM/TWRP recoverystuff? Since most of LENOVO phones lower mid range like my A880 is running MT6582M (quadcore), but I am a LENOVO Pc user too. It will be interesting to see development of the YOGA 10 using MT8389 maybe upgrade to CM11 but how many device sout there is currently using MT8389 anymore since MT 6589/6593 is introduced.
there is no motivataion except for die hard YOGA Pad users.
Anyone tried this or has more info?

New Lenovo Yoga 8 tablet owner reporting in.
I have recently bought a lenovo yoga tablet 10 and I am really pissed off that Lenovo took out the multiuser feature from Android.
I hope a ROM or solution will be available sooner or later.
Btw do you think Lenovo will ever offer Android updates?

I am with you on the multi-user feature.
As for ROM updates, they do provide updates every now and then. They even provide update to kitkat for some model. Even cheap A5500 tablet got updated to kitkat.

I am surprise to check that there is an update to Kitkat OS for my MTK CPU tablet last night, download and upgraded to 4.4.2 with half an hours.
I used CPU Z to confirm it is really Android Kitkat OS 4.4.2, sad thing is that some of my app is not working with 4.4.2 OS.
My root is gone and unable to use Framaroot to root my tablet now, still trying other tools to root.
So did anybody managed to root the tablet again after upgrading to 4.4.2?
I've got the update notification but still waiting to upgrade, wanna be sure to have root permissions again first!

Framaroot latest version 1.9.3 still fail to root for OS 4.4.2 but finally manage to did it via Chinese one click root application Vroot
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
This root tool is very easy to use.
It is different from all other root method which will install super user application on our android device but this root tool will install a Vroot application which include built in super user to manage root access.
You can uninstall your old super user app and it still working fine.

Somebody mentioned that your IMEI number is sent to Vroot when using their application, so if that's true, this wouldn't be very nice...

Here's more info about the vroot method incl step-by-step guide:
http://www.patchworkoftips.com/root-lenovo-yoga-8-android-kitkat/3727/
Personally I'm with the guy who wrote this (i.e. Chukwudi Emmanuel Udegbunam) and leave my fingers off Chinese software that gets (a) installed on my PC and (b) replaces the regular SU binaries with their own version (which apparently cannot be replaced)
Good thing is there DOES seem to exist a root exploit. Hopefully someone on XDA will be able to port it and enable regular SU.

I allowed the update hopeing Levono would have left in the multi user feature.. they deleted it.
I have been experiancing various bugs,, DO NOT ALLOW THE UPDATE!
I wish I could go back. no more root access so the multi user app will not work
biggest issue Pandora, Amazon Music; while streaming the feed will stop for a moment then the music speeds up then slows back down, this stopping happens constently I hate it.
NEED A CUSTOM ROM!!!

Upgraded & rooted
Hi,
upgraded my Yoga a few days ago and rooted with Vroot from a virtual machine (disconnected from the net and ready to restore a snapshot ). After that installed SuperSU again, removed the Chinese installations from Vroot and being happy now with a rooted KK-Yoga. :victory:
MultiUser can (according to a little search) be activated after rooting.
Found no bugs in the new rom but I am not using Pandora or Amazon Music.

I just setup the flash tool and flashed the latest 4.4.2 rom from the russian website over my rooted 4.2.2 so far its working fine.
Had one issue where it would turn the screen off.. So it would time out and the screen would go off and the power button would wake it.. But not let it sleep. And holding it wouldn't bring up the power menu. Or even force restart.. But I used the schedule power off feature to get the tablet to shut off.. After I turned it back on it works fine.
Also one note. If you are on 4.2.2 and you rooted it and you deleted system apps. And you can't get the ota update to finish in recovery.. You don't need to flash back to stock 4.2.2 you can instead flash 4.4.2 ROM from the Russian website right over top.. Only problem is it goes to setup in Chinese if you can get through it you can change the language back to english

There is many Chinese root tool which is able to root our Yoga tablet with KitKat.
My advise is to unroot your tablet before apply the KitKat 4.4.2 update from Lenovo.
Two of us report same issue of unable to root with the latest update of KitKat 4.4.2 released last week by Lenovo to fixed the bug issue of the first release of KitKat.
We had to flash back the original KitKat 4.4.2 ROM to root again.

You can even try the Kinguser APK method to root your Yoga Kitkat 4.4.2

Enjoy your rooted Yoga tablet with KitKat 4.4.2
Our beloved device LG V400 G PAD, is currently undergoing difficulties. It possibly will not be updated for ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP - I contacted the manufacturer, who said we should perhaps wait for a chance to get 5.0. So I created this thread, trying to summon help to develop a device with compatible rom. I hope you can get attention. :angel:
Yes im waiting too. LG please give us Android 5 Lollipop. We waiting!
I mailed lg uk.This is what they told me:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact LG in relation to your V400. I have had a look into this for you and I can confirm that there are no plans to release Lollipop on this tablet. It may be something that we look at later on in 2015 but I cannot guarantee this.
I do apologise for the inconvenience caused but I hope that has at least clarified the situation for you."
Got this from LG USA
Thank you for your email to LG Electronics!
First of all, I would like to express my sincere apology for the inconvenience that this one is causing you and for late response on the email you sent on 03/19/2015 due to high volume of emails that we are receiving on a daily basis.
about the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop version your tablet V400 (7.0 display g-pad) is upgradable to that Android OS it’s just that your phone were originally made using 4.4 KitKat version as this software OS is made compatibly with the features and interface of the tablet to have the appropriate speed and battery life. In upgrading to the latest Android OS please be aware that it will affect the battery life and speed performance of your tablet so make sure that you anticipated this situation as early as now before considering upgrading your tablet to the one that it’s not originally made for.
Sooner or later your tablet will receive an update asking you to upgrade it to Lollipop OS once your tablet connected to WiFi or 4G. Just make sure that when performing a system update on your tablet it should be fully charged.
Google telephone number is 8558363987 in case you need to know more about Android Lollipop OS as they are the ones developed the software.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern.
Thank you for choosing LG and have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much man!
2 more questions, if I can; How did you install Lollipop, by OTA update or installing the .kdz file? And have you successfully installed any custom recovery or Xposed?
Thanks again!!
I had an update problem, fault of a compromised file or similar, so I had to hard reset and updated with LG mobile support tool.
But a friend of mine has update by OTA with no sort of problem and rooted with the one click method mentioned above
Unable to open & use Google play services on my rooted (CM 12 instld) LG Optimus E970
Why am i unable to open and use Google play services (play store, play games) on my LG Optimus E970? I search all over the Internet to find a solution, but to no avail. Does the problem have to do with an error in the installation/flashing process of Cynanogenmod 12 (nightly) on my device? if so, how can i correct it? Also, Playstore (or other affiliated services) was not installed after the flash.

I don't think Cyanagenmod for the LG Optimus G E970 is being routinely updated anymore. There are other ROMS that are worth looking at, which are listed below that I have personally used and have had no issues with. The first one is Android 5.1.1 Lollipop based and the second one is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow based.

Thank you Kilogrm form your earnest reply. I guess would have to go with Android 5.1.1. I check the link but only saw a link to the ROM file. Can you please provide a link for the gapps file, thank you.

I see you already got your answer from the lollipop thread. I'm sure you know that if you are using Android 5.1.1 that you would use the gapps for 5.1 on the gapps page and not 6.0, which is for Android 6.
Hi guys,
I´m totally new on Android. Yesterday I received my ne Mediatab 1 from Huawei.
Right now there ist Android 4.4.4 on the Tab. There are no Updates for Android. After choosing some Apps to my wishlist I noticed, that some of them didn´t installed because they need Android 5 or higher.
Can you tell me how I can update my Tab to 5 or higher? And which Android is the correct one for my Tab?!

Unfortunately I always asked to that. I downloaded an app, installed an played a few minutes. And back in the AutoRoot_tools app I must do this again.

Hello Folks,
i just bought a used H850 to switch my data from my old G5 with broken display.
The broken ones already has the oreo update, if i remember correctly i did that with the phones build in update function without any problem.
before i can transfare as much data as possible to the new G5 i have to make sure its running the same android version but when i search for updates now the phone shows that its already on the newest version (with Android 7)
Same when i use the LG Brigde software for PC.
Does LG remove the update? Is there a way to install that last official update on any other way? or to 1:1 clone the data from my broken display G5? in the past i did that by just switching the motherboard but im not sure if the old motherboard has some other disfunktions.
My Banking App also refuses any kind of rooted phones so Lineage OS is bad :-(
Thanks for help in advance

As LG stopped supplying the unlock.bin for the bootloader it's most likely they stopped phone support at all. (I'm never gonna buy anything from LG again)
I've kept a "H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz" on my NAS.
Afaik it should be flashable with LG Up but Idk exactly as mine is on a custom ROM.
