best option for updating v500 for little kids to use? - G Pad 8.3 General

Hey, have my old lg v500 that was getting too boggy to use, and couldn't do some of the things i want anymore due to very old os version. I would like to re do it so my kids can use it for simple games and coloring but family link won't let them sign in because it's older that 7.1.
Whats the easiest/best/'stable' rom i could flash to it so can sign them in thru family link and manage it without it needing constant hand holding/tweaking of the rom?

Cyanogenmod 13

I'm very very excited to know that there is an unoffical Cm 13 rom for Ss Galaxy s6 & s6e. It's a alpha test rom. So when will s6e+ be support any idea ???
Seems like never
you need to get Google Pixel or Oneplus 3T phone if you want Cyanogenmod. its new name will be LineageOS
LineageOS replacing Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod going to End support for all devices.

I'm alright on that offer, this device is fine for any Android to run, I don't need a new phone for a near stock-like experience. That seems like poor advice for a forum for development & growth. Lol

Can anyone develop customs rom for this tablet?

I am tried build custom rom. But too difficult for me.(from lack of sources...)
Can anyone develop customs rom for this tablet? I need your skills.
thanks.
Why do you need a custom ROM ?
EMUI 5.0 is probably the best interface on Android.
When xposed SDK24 will be available, you will be able to customized the tablet with the modules / frameworks you want.
Try to contact the developer @ www (dot) lineageos (dot) org to see if they plan to develop a Lineage OS 14.1 ROM for the Mediapad M3.

The Osprey Oracle

The Osprey Oracle​
It's been a while.
If you don't know me, I was active here a few years ago and created the FAQ thread.
I got out of the community for a while but I'm amazed at how strong the osprey development still is, so I plan to Frankenstein my model up to a 16GB/2GB and get back into it. So in that spirit, I want to go back to my RC roots and create a thread for everyone with the most up-to-date info to help keep this device alive.
I've called it the Osprey Oracle as it's more catchy than Moto G 2015 Oracle, but Merlin stuff will be here too.
My general philosophy in compiling this is to create a database of currently maintained or at least recent development, to enable users to find a ROM that is secure and supported. This means, more specifically, ROMs which are still being updated with the latest security patches; this is why you'll find some older versions such as Nougat in this list, because some very generous members are still compiling them with these patches. That means lots of things will be missing, however; if you disagree and would like a fuller, more historical database, let me know.

Thank you very much for your thread.!!!
It is what I was looking for. I am trying to make quicker a relative´s Moto G 2015 and your thread has been very useful.
Warm greetings.
Good list but can you include the 14.1 stock images
I think under Nougat you should also include the link to the Stock 14.1 LinageOS + patches. Not everyone is concerned about Google and replacing them with microG.
Personally I've found sticking with Android 7.1 is best with this model of phone. Everything works out of the box, and it doesn't slow down.

Just added, didn't realise anybody was still building it with the latest patches. fyi MSe1969's microG build simply provides the option of using microG if you want, you still have the choice to then actually install the microG apps or just flash GApps as normal.
Interesting, I've been very happy on Android 10.0 but as I don't use GApps that's a significant resource reduction before any other apps are installed, of which I don't have many. Recently upgraded my Osprey to the 2GB RAM version as well, which helps.
It's great we have so many options though, all the way from 7.1 - 10! Which is what I hope this thread will show and help members with.
Is Lineage OS 17.1 official now? I can see it on the Lineage OS website.

Oh yeah it is! Thanks for reminding me, will update the list
Hey all, a chance for opinions if anyone has any before I go ahead:
In terms of Pie ROMs, LineageOS 16 (as well as the hardened micro G version) and Resurrection Remix 7 are no longer updated. The former is a few months old but the latter getting on for a year. So not terrible in terms of security updates compared to an OEM, but given that TheForce is still maintaining a crDroid Pie ROM would people be happy with me going ahead and removing LineageOS and Resurrectiong Remix from the list? Other option is to add a 'Pie' heading to the 'no longer updated' list I've added to the bottom? I want the main point to be that you can see secure and updated ROMs easily at the top but I understand people are interested in tinkering so might want them there for archival purposes.
That aside, just added FlokoRom, another one TheForce is maintaining, and MalluOS. Decent smattering of 5 up-to-date Android 10 ROMs for the Moto G3 now! Pretty amazing.

I think it would be nice to keep old roms listed, for historical reasons.
In my case, I'm still on resurrection remix 5.7.4 (MM 6.0.1) with squid kernel 23. It's running nicely, and I'm still reluctant to upgrade it because I'm afraid of losing some functionality (camera and viper4Android both are doing great in this Rom and kernel)
Thanks for maintaining this list. I'd like it to also include a list of kernels
Cheers

Hmmm I'll think about kernels, main reason I hadn't is because there aren't any still maintained, and none for ROMs post Oreo afaik. Would go against the ethos of the list and I don't want to get into just making a massive archive, when you get the same effect searching "kernel" in the dev forums. Whereas with ROMs it can be tricky for new users to differentiate which are currently maintained, getting security updates etc.

Isn't smartpack kernel currently maintained? (by someone in the Brazilian osprey group in telegram. It's currently in version 12.1 iirc and it's for Oreo, Pie and Q)
I understand that mixing kernel list here may be a little excessive, specially when most of them are abandoned.. but then it took me some time to get to smartpack kernel, because in xda it appears as abandoned, but it's currently maintained.

May I ask how you're going to do that? I've been interested in doing that for a long time, I have a 16GB/1GB version and I'd love to upgrade to a 16GB/2GB SoC.

I just bought a 16GB/2GB osprey with a smashed screen (so v cheap) and swapped the motherboard. I suppose rather than upgrading it, I replaced the phone itself and performed a screen repair... depends how you want to look at it aha. It's a very easy phone to take apart though, just be careful with your plectrum when you pry the screen off because if you do it too quickly you can end up with bright spots / dead pixels where you've accidentally pulled the exterior glass away from the LCD. A soldering iron makes a good pseudo-heat-gun if you don't have one of those to melt the screen glue.

Oh I didn't think about a mobo replacement, easier than a SoC replacement I was thinking hahaha
The G3 wasn't sold by carriers where I live so it would be pretty difficult to find a 2GB/16GB model. I guess I'll try ebay or similar.
Regarding the bright spots, for some reason mine has some even though it wasn't taken apart.
I'll try doing the same as you, wish me luck finding a donor device hahaha
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks, I'm not adding Project Sakura because I won't list ROMs that get 1 release and no further development. I think I'll give crDroid a miss also as there is no thread.
I'll add MalluOS though, thanks.

Understandable , also about Project Sakura the maintainer (me) dropped it because the Gapps survival script wasn't working while dirty flashing , users would have to wipe system partition completely and then re-flash the Rom and Gapps package or the device would bootloop. To make sure nobody loses their data I chose to drop official support the last OTA wasn't pushed either. OTA updates might have worked but then i wouldn't be able to test the Rom first myself for errors (by dirty flashing).
Thank you.
Edit: I don't want you to include the link but just wanted to tell you why the development was dropped.

Can someone please tell me which is the fastest rom for i9300 ?

I don't care much if it's android 9 or android 5. I just want the maps to work and perform basic functions, calls, gmail, youtube, music. No gaming
I have come across the 'LiquidSmooth' Rom on youtube which runs andoird 4.4.4. I am wondering if there is any newer android version that is also fast and doesn't drain the battery.
Thanks
You can try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3875899
uses android pie. it's the most stable for pie. there are also some efforts for android 10, but the stability for that is more of an alpha.
use twrp 3.2.3 to flash.
If you don't care for pie, you can use ressurection remix Nougat?
I don't think RR supports oreo
https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-oreo-list-supported-device/
here is a brief guide
https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-redmi-note-3-nougat-2/
generally speaking, you want to use as latest android as possible but is stable for your device
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
Reason being, you need the security patches, if you want as secure as possible an android device, so it doesn't get hacked, or get malware due to vulnerabilities existing on an older android

I'm testing several ... lineage OS 14.1 on antutu gets 39,585 Resurrection Rmx gets 40,696 I have downloaded RR here, in XDA, I quite like it, I have only tried those two. Also the interface in RR seems to me more attractive along with the pixel launch.

Looking for Advice choosing a LineageOS ROM

Hi all,
my OnePlus 2 is currently running a very old version of LineageOS 15.1.
I am looking to update and found that besides the Official Lineage 17.1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-lineageos-17-1-for-oneplus2-android-10.3969619/) a well maintained Unofficial LineageOS 15.1 with latest security patches (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...us2-android-8-1-0-oreo-february-2021.4167561/) exists.
Does anybody have recent experience with both ROMs and can shed some light on how the tow compare or maybe even give advice which one to pick?
I am mostly looking for a stable, bug-free as possible experience as the phone will be used by someone who doesn't want to configure around with the phone all the time.
From reading across the threads, it seams like there are more bug-related discussions in the 17.1 Official ROM.
Thank you!
If phone will be used by someone who doesn't want to configure all the time
I say lineage 15.1 would be good
As you know 17.1 is still on nightly
