[Q] Thoughts On The Best ICS ROM To Run With Hash's new 3.0 #7 Kernal

I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts/input on which is the best ICS ROM to run with Hash's latest 3.0 #7 kernal. I'm looking for stability, especially when playing games. I plan on flashing this tonight but haven't decided on which ROM to use. I'm currently running Reloaded 1.1. I would experiment for myself but my 5 year old won't give up the KF long enough to let that happen.

Hash's 04/22 ROM .

I flashed the 4/22 ROM last night briefly just to check it out. I didn't see GAPPS or PlayStore baked in it. Is there a zip to flash for those? I tired searching here but came up empty.

Try AOKP ROM based on Hashode kernel -3 at this thread

I personally use gedeRom, which is a modded version of CM9. Lots of nice little tweaks, overclocked to 1.2, modified build.prop, and somehow he fixed the screen flashing white when you turn it on issue. Highly recommended.

Hashcode fixed the screen flashing white He deserves much credit for his 3.0 kernel!

This, a million times this. Fast, lightweight, and TONS of control. Also, it boots in just about (maybe even under) a minute.

+1 to this big time. With the new update #8 kernal. I finally decided to flash it, and it took me all of about 10 minutes to be up and running and good to go. I love all his tweaks! check his thread in the dev forum for a list.

Gederom is my favorite
I've tried a few different ROM's and Gederom is working the best for me so far. Gedemis is pretty quick on updates too.

+1 for gedeRom

I have flashed all of the 3.0 roms at different stages of kernel development, ran each of them for a day min. Ultimately I ended up using GedeROM as my daily diver. It's solid, fast, and has been able to do everything I need it to.

GedeROM Rocks!
I've been using the latest 28-04-2012 ROM based on Hashcode's #8 all weekend and it's been great. It loaded fast without any problems. I've been following his list for issues and got Volume+ from the Play store to fix the volume issue (Netflix works great).
Two issues I've had so far (not sure if it's just me):
-- Lost ADB: my Windows PC no longer recognizes the KF as an ADB Device, just as a Disk Drive designated "Am" in Device Manager. I've been unable to change the driver, and the "drive" itself shows up as empty (no disk or contents).
--HBO Go and Time Warner TWC TV Apps Still Detect Root: HBO Go used to work on my stock ROM with the turn-off-wireless trick, but not with CM9. I temporarily disabled root with OTA Rootkeeper, then disabled Root Access in the Developer Options, uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, and they still detect root (ie won't work).
I'm hopeful that these can be fixed (or that I'm doing something wrong), otherwise I'm pretty much able to do the things I want with this ROM.
Thanks to Hashcode and Gedemis for their hard work on all this!

[Q] Very low screen bright after reboot

Hello everybody,
I,ve read all around the forum but I couldn´t find information about my problem so i try it here.
From stock V500 20d I rooted and Installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 thanks to the good information in the Forum. After that, I've installed the ROM CM11 (M10) and, from the first reboot, the screen bright is very low. I hardly could do the first configuration and when it finished I selected the full bright.
After some time working it seems that it recovers some bright and I can down a little bit the bright from top.
Every time I restart the device I have the same bright issue.
Can anyone help me?.
Thanks a lot

Extremely common problem when you were on the 4.4.2 base and are now an AOSP based rom. You either need to change kernels to RedKernel or flash the tablet back to the 4.2.2 base and then reflash your CM rom.

Ok it´s done
First I´ve installer V500-4.2.2-Base from recovery, I have reinstalled CM 11 and everything OK.
I have tried a step beyond and I have installed [KERNEL][v500][4.4.4][AOSP] RedKernel [16/09] (everybody seems to be very happy with it) but, after install synapse I run it and appears "No UCI support detected". Seems that kernel doesn´t support it.
Thank you again for your help

You must install the UKM scripts from recovery. Read the op from the red kernel thread...

What he said!
This confused me at first too. In the very early days of redkernel he included his own forked version of the UKM scripts those have been removed because the UKM script maintainer agreed to merge his changes and therefore he doesn't have to maintain his own copy (better for all involved so he can focus on kernel development). Search the thread you will find a link to where you can download the official UKM scripts and your problem will go away.
I currently run redkernel on the 4.4.2 base myself. I have not reverted to the 4.2.2. base since my last factory restore. I am very happy with this configuration...

I had the same problems. Mine was two fold, my sd card was dying (I have since got a new one) and the 4.4.2 base was still sometimes having an issue that sd card monitor would show as a bad removal. This was even with the new sd card. Once I switched to Infected's build of slimkat with the redkernel I have not had a bad removal (after running this way now for over a month) and the sd card monitor used to track at least one bad removal a week with stock 4.4.2. I have no idea if this will help others but it is working so far for my device. I am always running sd card monitor since I had problems and it is still reporting a clean record.

You didn't ask, but my approach would be:
Use LG tool to revert to 4.4.2 stock
Root with towel root
Install recovery and loki (I need to get you a link for this, but it involves editing a batch file to tell it to still install with revision d instead of b)
reboot recovery using adb, and immediately unplug cable
flash a recovery designed for 4.4.2 (2.7.0.1) from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
Then install infected slimkat, redkernel and the ukm zip files
I never use the 4.4.2 base files to flash the device to 4.4.2 I always use the LG Tool and go from there.

Just curious … is there something wrong with flashing the base files to switch between 4.2.2 and 4.4.2?
Now that I have two Gpad's I plan to install 4.4.2 base on one and compare it with 4.2.2 base on the other. Just wonder if I can tell any difference.
Thanks for the info.

I am unaware of a problem with the 4.4.2 base files provided. I have just never used them, I already had the LG Support Tool downloaded and it was easiest to use the path I knew and was comfortable with.
The key thing (and why I run the 4.4.2 base instead of the 4.2.2. base) that is different is the brightness at its lowest setting. The 4.2.2 base on many of the V500's suffers from alternating light and dark spots on one side of the tablet when viewing the tablet in low light with the brightness at its lowest setting and viewing gmail (any app with a white background basically). I use my tablet mostly in dark conditions like this (man I make it sound like I live in a basement somewhere *laughs*). The 4.4.2 base firmware changes the tablet so it functions well at the lowest brightness.
The first picture in this thread shows the screen problem I refer to (although not on a white screen):

[Q] LG Security Error but slightly different than others

I know this has been covered in one way or another in other threads but mine is slightly different. I have the newest philz touch recovery for my ls-970. I installed the newest cm12 unofficial (nightly 1/11/2015 is the newest). I then installed jolla kernel but was having problems with system ui crashing so i stupidly decided to install the stock version of the kernel ( this kernel is an all in one bundle using aroma to select which kernel for your device). Right after this was installed, it would not boot into cm12 and gave me this lg security error. Problem is all Ig et is the LG symbol and the words security error. Unlike other people that have a cause listed, this has nothing. I am able to go into recovery easily. The boot loader still says unlocked (i assume fastboot is an option too?). I installed optimus de (which was residing as a backup on my sd) and the phone boots fine. But as soon as I go back to cm12, it has a security error. I have already taken it upon myself to download lgnpst and the lg drivers.
What are my options here? When it shows this error, it simply powers off after a few seconds.

I am not sure, but the "Stock" kernel you flashed might have been for a locked bootloader. It seems backwards, but I know you get that error when you flash a rom, or another kernel that is not for a locked device on a locked bootloader.
Try this:
Restore your CM12 or flash a new one;
flash the rom again so it will be the built in kernel, OR
Flash an alternate kernel.
I am not sure which CM you used but there are a few different ones. If you used the official, I don't think jollaman has support for it yet.
Same goes for the unofficial ls970. They are both built with gproj sources, so you will have to find a kernel that uses the same sources. I believe solid kernel does. It is in the international threads, they use the same sources (not all do, if you see GEE, that is not gproj. that is unified across most of the Optimus G devices).

I did indeed use the unofficial built from gproj sources. That was my mistake. I wound up cleaning it out and restarting fresh with the same rom. It's a shame as it runs so well. Thanks for the tip on solid kernel, I'll check it out. Just to be clear, with the ls970 I can basically run any international rom as long as the kernel is right?

Actually, the international and the Sprint are basically the same phone. The only difference I know of is that their SIM is removable and ours is built in. So essentially you can use any of their ROMs but you might have data issues. I know any of the ROMs Kevin builds will work for both devices with little to no issues. OMNI runs perfect, the others have data toggle not working and built in messenger not working. OMNI is almost identical to CM at this point. The only thing I can think of right off hand is the messenger and gallery apps are different and I think OMNI has some extra options in the settings of the device.
You want a great rom, try omni. You will not be disappointed. Plus, you can use Jollaman's kernel if you really want to. Use his GEE kernel option. Built in kernel is great for me and I am constantly on my device.
ALSO: there are no mistakes using the official or unofficial. Each has their perks or quirks. Both are amazing.

Probably best to start by
1. Reading/browsing through the 1st Gen KF Development threads to familiarize yourself with the options.
2. Decide if you want to remain on Otter or covert to OtterX.
a. If remaining on Otter @rootjunky has a number of YouTube videos explaining how to load JB ROMs that will help you with JB and may help you install KK ROMs.
b. If converting to OtterX you will have a wider selection of ROMs including LP and, soon, maybe M. Take a look at the SlimKat, SlimPop, Hashcode's CM11 and CM12 threads (there are others but I haven't tried them - no slight intended). I think you are correct about LP ROMs and resources. Consequently a number of users have returned to JB and KK ROMs (see @pfederighi's contributions).

[Q] Kindle Fire 1st Gen is starting to show its age. Time for a downgrade.

So I have SlimKat for OtterX installed on my Kindle Fire. My Kindle Fire is also laggy and slow as hell, possibly because it can't handle KitKat. So I'm thinking that if I downgrade it to Jellybean, it will probably speed up a bit. I'm looking for a particular ROM, SlimBean, which was hosted on a now defunct hosting service whose name escapes me at the moment. If anyone has a copy (and the relevant GApps) and could upload them and provide links, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
