Ive testing a few roms since I have my phone...
1.PAC Rom(reboots as hell) Its unstable so I accept that.
2.HO!NO! V20f v2(reboots everywhere) Based on stock but with a custom kernel so I accept that
3.Stock V20c with stock kernel(Even with this I get random reboots) People say this the most stable.
So Ive been using the most recent CM10.1 Stable build and this is the only rom that I can say that is stable 2 or 3 random reboots in a day, not like V20c I used to have more than 8 in a day! I need to use some vpn modules and cm10 lacks of it, so Im condenned to get random reboots for all my life! or until I sell this phone?
Yea this phone tends to be junk for some people. There's more problems than we can think of to resolve... I think I'm gonna get a new one, something supported by google. See the thing is there might be custom roms with the newest android and all that but without official updates you don't get updated kernels, firmware, basebands, etc specific to that phone. Devs thankfully update them and hack them as best they can. These are all parts of the software apart from the "rom" (like CM10.1).

I strongly disagree. These phones are not junk. Just because there are some defective phones being resold mainly by private parties or non-official channels doesn't mean they are junk. With that being said if you are one of the unfortunate ones that purchased a defective phone without warranty I would recommend running gingerbread as you will not have issues. The vast majority of these phones are very reliable and will run stock fine without reboots. If one makes purchases of electronics outside official channels there is always that risk. Always be aware of who you are purchasing from and the warranty they provide in case it doesn't have an official mfg warranty.

Unless you are overclocking, your phone is defective.
Try underclocking it to 1.2ghz and see if it stabilizes. You can also try bumping up the voltage across the board to see if that helps.
And defects can occur with ANY phone, not just this one. Funny you mention the GNex, as there were a TON of defects with that phone, particularly in some of the batches produced in China; the Korean made ones seemed to suffer less. If you buy a used GNex try to get one tagged "Made in Korea".

Ok, I was a little harsh. My phone is pretty stable now but it's taken over a year to come this far! Obviously being on xda I expect a bit more than stock though...

When I say stock it also includes the multitude of modified ROMs based on stock. CM10.x is still a beta is subject to issues like reboots, BSOD, parts not functioning like BT, etc. If one experiences rebooting problems on stock ICS then the phone is defective. A benchmark if you will.

Well, I think the problem with my phone is on the Modem, even with 3G off and stock kernel, gets warm, also sometimes gets unusable because of short battery :silly: even with an extended battery doesnt last a whole day without having to charge it.

I was just saying the same thing at least with stock. If one is having reboot issues with stock it points to a defect in the phone, but with the cyanogen based ROMs that isn't always the case due to it being a work in progress as different components get tuned/optimized. That's all no biggie.

Do you have an issue with nitro battery draining fast on Jelly rom?
Solved it!
I solved my reboots issue, I accidentally selected everything for wipe in TWRP, even sdcard, and I was really angry just beacuse a I did something stupid, but then, I installed v20f and WIND 3.5. Im running ICS without issues. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

ICS ROMs for this phone were always more stable for me. All of the problems I've had are with JB ROMs.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
I never solve my reboots issues with Stock ICS, the only ROM that worked for me was v18f (ICS leak). My conclusion: faulty hardware.
Su640 iwas having random reboots on jb ROM and they just started after i flashed custom 4.1.2. I tried many different version of the stock custom roms.
Than i flashed kdz from scratch 30D than i rooted it, put custom recovery and few other stuff i always change, but that also started giving me reboots after a day.
So i did it again kdz full wipe first using cwm
Rooted it but left the recovery and bootloader alone. Deleted stuff, change stuff like dialer, sms...
After week no reboots as of now.

Solution of random reboot is max frequency <1.2GHz or Android GB.

...or new mainboard, as in my case. Running JB with frequency up to 1.8 GHz just fine.
The random reboots are due to heating of the processor because of this processor and GPU welding and thus move reboots appear ... will say but when it cools and
should stop if I believed that, too .... But if you remember the case of red lights xbox 360 is the same case happens to this cell ....
I'm no technician is just the assumption that I have had the experience that the xbox and is the same case
My phone now is stable with a Max frequency: 1188Mhz and Min: 648Mhz

I cant decide on whether or not I want to load a custom rom on this phone!
I know this is XDA and everyone will say GO CUTSOM of course, but this is the first device I actually havent considered it. I feel like with every android phone Ive owned
And the hundreds of ROMs Ive used, Ive always experienced negatives that have come along with the positives that a custom ROM brings.
For example ill load up a ROM and it will come with the "best" kernel available, which turns out to cause 69% Android OS drain by the end of the day. Or from searching around here the custom ROM will cause shutter lag or other snall annoying things that I wouldnt be able to tolerate. I just dont know if the trade off is worth it this time as stock ICS works wonderfly for me.
I am however very interested in the 4.0.3 ROMs (even though I have no clue what 4.0.3 offers over 4.0.2) and the best kernel (lean) overclocks, undervolts, AND OC the gpu which i think are all awesome benefits.
Then I go search around about lean and find out that some people are experiencing lag.... Its like why go through all the trouble if im going to get 5 benefits as well as 4 negatives? AND cant get OTA.
Im just wondering if there is anyone out there (not you flashaholics) that feel it is better to stay stock this time around to live in peace so to say lol Your thoughts would be appreciated.

try stock, try custom.. then let us know whats best for you. choice, my friend, is a wonderful thing
it wont hurt anything to try a custom rom, you can always go back to stock
Have you guys tried the Gummy ROM or lean kernel? Any tips to avoid any of the problems I mentioned such as shutter lag or UI lag?
I had this issue with the GNEX. I have kept it stock so far. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and made a few UI changes and a differnt kernal.
I'm happy with it for now. Who knows what future will hold.
did the stock thing (with a few root mods like battery, menu button, brightness) for a couple months, then loaded up AOKP + leankernel and love the customization and battery life
will not go back to stock
If your device does what you want it to RIGHT NOW, then stay stock. If there are features that you want and only a custom rom can provide, then try a ROM, but be aware that custom kernels and ROMS can break some functions on your phone.
I was using CM7 on my previous android phone and lost the ability to receive voicemail notifications because of it.
Decide if you need "more", but accept any risks that come up because of it.
I suggest you try out AOKP ROM for the additional features and GUI settings. I also use franco. kernel for superior battery life and a noticeable speed increase.
It's a fantastic combo.

+1 for aokp + franco , they are awesome.
Excuse my noobyness but isnt AOKP just a stock untouched firmware? Or is that AOSP.
Just looked up the franco kernel and have read nothing but good things.
Nadroid - flash = see for yourself. I also recommend AOKP M3. And stock has bugs also. The only ROM that ever rebooted on me, was stock. So. Nothing is perfect that is why we like to change everything.
I'm using stock still, but rooted and using a modified status bar transparent. I plan to switch to custom but just taking my time. You can easily just nand backup your stock rom, flash custom for testing, then restore your stock backup if need be. There are lots of enhancements in the custom roms that is worthwhile.
I only got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday, however i think the stock rom is great to be honest.
There was always some problem with custom roms on the Desire.
If i was going to use a custom rom on my Galaxy Nexus i would wait for the stable release of CM9 or MIUI (if there ever is a stable one).
For now stock is fine for me personally, only thing i really miss is all the settings in the notification tray, but rooted stock is working perfect for me and its nice to have a perfectly working phone for once
well well.. flashing phones like samsung jet, omnia II, galaxy s, wave or htc touch diamond or sensation was my life..till i met the sony xperia s.. Now its too hard to decide what to do. Stay on stock or flash the new roms, kernels, mods..again and again. I am on stock now because of few lags..I hadnt expected. I am not gonna explain what was it but I wanna have fully function device on my own and that is why I made the decision to sty on stock. And of course I am still waiting for original upgrade. That is my opinion.

I know what you mean. I kept mine stock for months, which is longer than any other phone I've had. But I finally bit the bullet and went custom and I'm glad I did. You just gotta try for your self and see which you prefer.

A(ndroid)O(pen)S(ource)P(roject).
A(ndroid)O(pen)K(kang)P(project) is a custom rom by TeamKang, based on AOSP releases from Google.
Search tags: kang, aosp, source.android.com
@OP, i say just go with whatever you feel is working for you. If you feel stock is better, stick with it. I run my nexus bone stock (even with stock recovery, i use fastboot to boot cwm once, flash zip with a different font, just tired of roboto) from time to time, to get a grip of how things are going with official releases. I have no issues.
And there's no more Android OS bug. Use better battery stats (here in xda) to see whats causing wakelocks, which drains battery more than usual. If you have lte device you'll have considerably worse runtime on battery, if you on gsm then you'll get around 1d15h with 3h40 screen on with stock, when all is optimal. Lets face it, current battery technology blows.
Read a lot before flashing anything, till the point you are able to help others when they face issues without having really tested it yourself, to know possible advantages/disadvantages of x software/mod, if its user error, apps, or custom rom, or stock.
This is android as its supposed to be, some have even got bored of how easy it gets to play with this device.

Hey thanks for reviving a 3 month old thread to talk about your Sony phone in the nexus forum LOL
Also I would like to point out that I went AOKP then CM9 then LS all with the Franco kernel and wouldn't think about going back to stock. I would consider the phone unusable compared to what it is now lol

Yea LiquidSmooth is what I'm running on. Very fast and loads of features while being easy on the battery.
Everyone claims their 'insert rom' is easier on battery, but with the exception of those who have actively coded something like AOKP's battery saver, or BAMF Paradigm's tasker support in their LTE widget, its a bunch of BS.
Someone please show me, aside from the above, source code for a rom that saves battery. I'll settle for a github commit.
Most battery savings will come from lack of bugs that cause resource leaks and wake locks, or kernels.
All these claims are ranking right up there with statements like "deodexed for performance" or "ribbed for her pleasure".
I did flash a rom early on (Apex I believe it was) and I forget the reasoning behind me going back to stock but I am completely happy with staying on stock (& rooted) yakju. I will probably go to a rom sometime again in the future but for now I am good.
The good thing about flashing stock is that it is so easy to do it with fastboot so at any time you arent happy with roms you can just go back to stock.
Hey there guys, I've been using XDA-Developers for a long time, it certainly is the #1 source of info for us android users and modders. Finally registered myself in the hopes I can get some help with an issue I'm having atm. While using Google Goggles 1.8.1 in Snapshot mode the camera will be all messed up showing a greenish deformed image, as a matter of fact looks like a thermal camera or something similar. If I press the button to take the snapshot, strangely it works fine, if I go into continuous mode it doesn't have the same problem, works fine.
I'm using the Beta 14 of Cyanogenmod 9.
The camera application works perfectly, just google goggles is messed up for some reason.
Anybody ever seen this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the fast response. I'll certainly try that, did you have that experience too or is it just a guess since I'm using a Beta ROM? Thanks again.
there isnt and may never be an official ics rom for the vision, this means the developers have not had the proper drivers for the camera so it is hacked together on all ics roms. these roms have come a long way over the past six months or so but any app using the camera may never work 100%
the best ics roms for the g2/dz (in my opinion) are elitemod and mimicry, you can try one of those and see if google goggles works fine or just move down to 2.3x

I hope that's not 100% accurate, cause I don't see why the G2/DZ couldn't have an official ICS release, I mean, it's hardware can support it perfectly so what would be the reason? Anyway, I'll revert later to 2.3x and see how Google Goggles handles, but even if it works fine I'll get back to the latest beta of Cyanogenmod 9, everything's been working perfectly so far, aside from this Google Goggles problem, and if it never gets solved I can still live with that, I usually don't even use it, just wondered why it wasn't working as it should. But thanks for the info so far.

it is sad but true, there may be loads of reasons for no official update but the main one may simply be htc has decided they want us to move to a newer phone, even if hardware supports the latest firmware they will must feel if they keep supporting old phones people will not buy their new ones. even if this is an incorrect assumption the g2/dz (in my opinion) still is the best phone to date so I wouldn't update anyhow.
like I said have fun with gingerbread for a while and then consider elitemod ics or mimicry, those are the only two ics roms that I like. but right now I'm back to cm7 for a while, I too like a working camera, and by working I mean to the quality gingerbread cameras work on the vision.

You're right, and I totally agree, I won't update my G2/DZ anytime soon, it still serves me more than well and I love the physical keyboard. Some people don't care about it, but I like to run some emulators, genesis, snes and the likes and to play using the physical keyboard instead of touching the screen is a whole different world. Also, I don't see the point of having a big screen latest smartphone when you lose like half the screen when you have to type cause of the virtual keyboard. Who knows, if HTC ever releases in the future a Desire Z 2 maintaining everything that's great about the G2/DZ but upgrading to the latest hardware, I might buy it. Oh, and thanks for the compliment.

Marketing, it's old enough to the point that it's more economically feasible without as much *****yness from consumers to not bother providing drivers/etc for it when consumers can just buy a brand new model to get ICS.
I'm in the same boat though, my camera is 'functional' I can see the screen just fine and can take a picture, it just not as feature-packed or as high quality as it was with gingerbread.

Exactly, but even so the Pros of running ICS on the G2/DZ easily surpass the Cons. I for one can say my battery life at least doubled, and the system runs way more smoothly than it used to with Gingerbread. I guess now we can only hope that those great guys at the development teams can come up with solutions for everything, who knows? Maybe a newer model from HTC with ICS has a camera driver compatible with the G2/DZ. Until then I'll keep experimenting with the Betas till I find the best solution.

well in regards to battery life and other performance benefits you can mainly thank the Rom creators for that. I've no doubt that if you tried to use a pretty much 'stock' configuration of ICS the battery life would be much worse and performance wouldn't seem quite a nice. Most of the benefits I enjoy in my current ICS rom is primarily credited to the rom's creator as he did quite a number on optimizing it specifically for the G2/Vision.
Hi
im tired of this, i installed every ROM i saw in the forum and in some point my phone just have ramdom reboots or just turn of and i have to pull the battery off and put it back to turn it on.

Random reboots come with the territory my friend. if you can't live with them, just use the stock ROM.

when i first buy the phone used on ebay it came with stock ICS and it happens as well i think i had a bad unit thanks anyways
I just had my device sent in and they completely replaced everything on the inside, not sure why they didn't just give me a new unit.. But anyways. It's been a few weeks and there were no restarts got the first week but then started again slowly, and now they happen frequently again...

That's almost certainly the case. I have a bad unit myself and hope to get it replaced soon. LG's QC has a bad reputation with this model.

Is that a fact that they changed the parts in there? I sent mine not too long ago and it was ok for 2 weeks then reboots were constant (2-4x a day) after that. I figured they just did a factory reset.

Go back to GB and there will be no random reboots guaranteed.
Just for fun, try the following.
1. Power off your phone.
2. Remove the Battery.
3. Remove the SD Card.
4. Leave it alone for at least 10 minutes.
5. Put everything back together and see if that made any difference.

how i get back to GB?????? the only way i see to do this was when i unbrick my phone but that GB IS REALLY WEIRD
Yes, they specifically told me what was replaced.. I don't have the sheet with me right now to list it, but it's basically everything on the inside.

HoNo has a GB rom that you can flash. If you find GB weird then stick with ICS and the reboots.

whats the name of this ROM or just can you send me the link to the page or something i definitly gonna try it!!!
thanks in advance
Give it a try!
I had random reboots on almost all Roms except when I was on my Stock GB (V10f), ICS leak (v18f) and stock ICS (v20C) before installing any Custom Roms... The best Custom ROM I used was Liquid Nitro with Wind Kernel.. the mobile was stable, battery life was a lot better..
Currently I am on CM10.1 nightly with Wind kernel 1.0.. I am getting almost 36 hours on regular usage and no Random reboots...
All the best..

Wait, what? Are you saying you are getting 36hrs of battery life? Stock battery? I can believable. I'm lucky if I get 16hrs on HoNo CM9.
Also, to keep on topic, I think the OP might have a hardware issue and if so no ROM will truly fix it; some might do better at masking it though. FWIW I got probably one reboot every other day on CM10, but I get maybe one a week on HoNO CM9 and they seem to only occur when the battery is low.
i got the odd random reboot on stock GB.
on stock ICS i don't remember getting much, not sure.
i put CWM on the phone, bricked it, unbricked it
haven't had a random reboot since, been 2 weeks now, the roms i've used are cm10 (which had great performance, the odd flicker on the screen entering standby mode, poor battery life, didn't support MHL) but didn't get any reboots. (ran that for about 5 days)
i then switched to mattman86's liquidnitroV6 which is linked in my sig, i like it better, its stock isc bloatware removed wind3 kernel added supports mhl, good battery life, good performance, no flickers) only problem i have with this rom is that is that it has stock bluetooth stack, and doesn't support alot of bluetooth outside of headsets etc (cm10 has full bluetooth stack).
you may give Quattrimus a try. tdmcode fixed many bugs causing reboot or bsod with stock CM10.
Hi everyone
After install almost every ROM the only one that doesnt had asingle rebbot is GLORYROM it is truely th Glory for me.
I dont know what i did but i have 45 hours without a reboot.
This is the cronologic order for what i did
1, i install Glory Rom, coming from HONOS Full throtle and i get a reboot 15 hours later
2. i search A tread about flashing Basebands by HONOS in the thread it says that it came with the baseband and firmware (i dont know about that stuff) i just wonder What would happen if i change it?
3. i install v10j baseband and i get a reboot 27 hours later
4. Them i Install v10f and untill know i have no more reboots. i already had almost 46 hours without a single reboot, im really happy i hope everythingg keep working as it is.
The Glory Rom it fast!!! Lag free, stable, and reboot free so long!
The Battery life isnt the best compare with CM10.1 nigthly but i manage get 22 hours without charging and i get 5% left and that really good for me so thanks to all of you for respond and i hope not get another ramdon reboot.
And if somebody explain to me the miracle come on and be my guess jejejeeeje!
It was a bit frustated when waiting for major update from LG for our lovely G Pro. Although using stock rom is enough, but we need more to optimise the device.
I have been using some kitkat custom roms and decided to use one of the for day to day use. My impression so far is that I wil not go back to stock unless big problem happen to my phone (i.e. when I need to go to service center ?).
So, currently I just waiting for nightly updates or other kitkat new custom rom coming ☺
How about you, guys?

I got an update notification on my stock rooted phone this morning... Still nervous about installing it.
I like AOSP roms, but I find they favor having the latest android base over working out all of the bugs. Which in turn means extra features, but lack stability. I usually find the best Roms for a phone (AOSP or stock mod) match the android base of the stock.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
There are not too much options for Korean Variant F240x so unless there comes some stable custom rom had to stick with the stock.
I'm using CM 11 as it has DSP working and most custom ROMs do not.
I still wish LG would release an update for us.
The only problem I have with the ASOP and CM based roms is stability. Some have good battery life, some are feature packed, some have working navigation, some have a hard time locking or issues with sound.
I have yet to find one that just works in all aspects. That's what keeps me going back to stock. Even the G2 V5 had issues for me with signal reception (yes I flashed my modem again) and wifi transfer speeds. The only one that has it all working perfectly is the stock 4.1.2.
I wish we had more customization on that base E980 stock rom kernel tweaks and things like that, but I understand the allure of 4.4 roms versus spending dev time on an outdated build. For me though, having a phone that works consistently is more important. That's not to say there is anything wrong with the ASOP and CM roms, I just haven't found one that just works. Especially when it comes to GPS.
I see that there is the 4.2.2 update from China and I hope a Dev or 2 takes a look at that, or the new Gx that is very similar to the G Pro in hardware. Hopefully there is an option to port that to our G Pro. We'll see. For now, I still enjoy my G Pro and really have no desire to purchase anything else on the market right now.

I got a CWM bootloop......
Oh yeah, another thing I got last time was even I have unrooted (and rooted) stock rom, I could not get OTA update, while my friend got that.
So, still keep using the custom rom which has less bug.

Yep. If you are rooted and have CWM or TWRP recovery installed and you attempt to update you will get stuck in a recovery boot loop. If you are stock, non-rooted, and you install the AT&T update you will NOT be able to root - the update blocks rooting. IMHO there is nothing of value in the AT&T update. Wherever you are, stay there.

is it an auto update? I'm on slimbean 4.3. is there a thread about this to disable anything to avoid the update coming through?
I have been running the cm nightlys now for several days it has proven quite stable does a great job multitasking and running game apps. for battery life i downloaded no-frills cpu control and set the cpu to interactive. also has an option to apply on boot so when rebooting the phone it does not return to on demand. Getting 8 to 12 hrs battery life (6 with heavy gaming) and battery recharges in 2 to 4 hrs depending on which charger i use stock or aftermarket. I am very happy with cm11 at this point and been getting daily updates adding features and fixing issues. I also have run the halo harmony rom which works very well but battery life is short 4 to 6 hours heavy gaming have drained battery in 3hrs but halo interface is nice. As far as stock lg filled this thing with way to much bloat ware and even with it all disabled phone is still slower then what it is capable of being. I love they way this device runs on kit kat and will continue to run the cm nightys until they release a stable.

You should also know no matter which Kit Kat rom you are running you will need to do this from your dialer go to setting and select vibrate on call waiting. None of the roms have a working call waiting ringer yet but the vibrate function does work but must be selected manually after installing rom.
I have been plagued with the muffled in-call mic problem on any AOSP/CM based ROM. That has been the driving factor for staying on stock-based.

I just also realised that what you mentioned is true. What happened to me is not all calling, but some were not a problem. I think an AOSP based rom has better in-call mic than CM, CMIIW.

Thanks for this update.
I was searching high and low to see if the phone mic issue had been resolved. Many others have experienced it but nobody ever followed up.
This was the one issue that was holding this phone back (no matter what ROM). I'm told that the mic volume is useable - with a little bit of cutting in and out. Not 100% perfect yet, but useable.
Well, I already knew the device likely wasn't going to be getting an upgrade. I bought it as a temporary device. I bought a Note III last week, and am in the process of selling my G Pro.
I do miss some features from it, mostly the 5x5 home screen grid and the actually usable universal remote app built-in, but the S-Pen features outweigh them.

I had to use LG FlashTools after a freegee fiasco switching from TWRP to CWM, and ended up on stock 10k. Completely stock, no custom recovery, just 4.1.2 and rooted. If you attempt to install the update already rooted WITHOUT a custom recovery it just gives some message about root detected and reboots back normally.

I am thinking about a new tablet since mine got water damage. I want the new Nexus tab, but if I can get this for the right price I will have it as a backup with the Nexus comes out.
Hows Battery Life?
Is it possible to install the GPE software and how easy is it?
Anything I should know about the pad since I havent looked into it at all, just love the size and want on screen buttons so Sammy devices are out.

Regarding the battery life, for the price, its not really bad. I would recommend rooting it right away though to increase the battery life. Using stock, I was able to get about 6-7 hours playing The MMO, Avabel, which is pretty intensive graphics wise. I would recommend installing slimkat ROM + greenify to further increase battery life. Havent been able to test how much improvement I got as I let my wife borrow it for a while.
Regarding your second question, I believe you want to convert the regular V500 to the GPE V510 version. There have already been numerous threads on the forums discussing this. So far, it looks like some radios are not working, most notably, WIFI. and is buggy. You can do a search on the forums to view the current status. What I am using is Slimkat, which is pretty close to AOSP and very good when it comes to battery life.
Regarding the last question, I've had mine for only 2 weeks and thus far, Im enjoying it. the bazels are small, the tablet itself feels well made, and performance wise, its pretty good for its current price point. On the negative side, the speakers doesn't sound very nice and are at the back. Would have been better if it was on the front. The screen is not too bright when using outdoors, and the camera is pretty crappy (although we don't really use the tablet as a camera as often as a smartphone so shouldn't be a biggy). However I got mine for about $225 (US) brand new and for the price point, I can hardly find anything save for the nexus 7 that can beat it, performance wise. Ran an antutu benchmark right after installing slimkat on it and actually scores higher than the note 2. Not bad for a $225 tablet, in full HD.
Hope this helps.
Firstly, I love it!!
Still makes me laugh that it's called GPad (lawsuit from Apple anyone)
Battery is better than my mobile ph ^^
Build quality is awesome!!
Mine was dirt cheap (brand new) $299 NZD.
Apparently there's a brightness bug (haven't noticed yet)...
Getting it rooted and ready for custom roms is/was a bit of a mission (if you OTA update to 4.4.2, mine came with 4.2.2 on board).
A few custom roms available - much of a muchness at present.
Needs some custom rom variety, for sure.
If you can get it cheap (like me) I'd jump at the chance!

Yeah it definitely could use more custom ROMS. Unfortunately though it doesn't look like there are too many devs interested yet. Hopefully the demand gets higher. My slimkat doesn't even have a stable release yet. On their official page, it says no tester or something like that. There are some CM nightlies, pac man, and CMB roms available though. Tried CMB but has some app compatibility issues so went with AOSP-based ROM for maximum compatibility.

There's a gpad on Craigslist for $200 nearby and didn't see any gpe on swappa. I know it's fairly easy to make the M8 run gpe software, so I was curious if it's as easy for the gpad

You can run GPE ROM on V500, but it's not really useable. WiFi doesn't work. Hardware is just enough different that drivers won't work. Devs spent a lot of time on this early this year and hit a brick wall. I sold my V500 and purchased a GPE, and I don't regret the change. Keep watching swappa and eBay. One will show up before long.

Ive tried CMB. CM based ROMS are awesome, but the app incompatibility is a deal breaker for me because a few of my apps are in that list. So I stayed with slimkat AOSP based ROM. Never looked back ever since. If only franco kernel is compatible with our tablet, im all set.
Well maybe if the GPE ROM gets ported if and whenever that will happen
EDIT: Im also looking for a fix for the brightness bug on my slimkat. The LEDs appear off but I just double tap my power button to fix anyway. Not really a major peeve for me. Though a fix is very much welcome
