[G Pad 8.3 General] sga999:
After thoughtlesskyle said it should be okay to root AndroidUser's rom, I did that, and now I can see more in catlog. AndroidUser, I'm seeing lots of "interesting" things, but I hate to repeat what you've probably already done and seen. I guess I'll just mention a couple of things here, and if you want me to stop telling you what you already know, just say so. What I've done so far is to start with the "more trivial" problems, like the security setting causing settings to force close. My thinking is that if we learn what's wrong with one thing, we might learn what's wrong with other things.

1. Every time I touch the screen, I get flooded with an error event. This makes it a bit difficult to look at the events I might care about. Here's the event that gets repeated dozens of times in a row (E is the log level). It may not important to fix this now, but it certainly would make looking at the log easier!

PowerHAL E touch_boost: failed to send: No such file or directory

I googled that and found others discussing it. I'll let someone who is looking at the code say more about this. It looks like someone fixed in it some Cyanogenmod release for another device.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58603

2. Now and then, I see this in the catlog display. What? I have no idea why I'd be running out of memory...I think I had about 700MB available when this occurred.

audio_hw_prim... E start_output_stream: cannot open '/dev/snd/pcmC0D14p': Out of memory

3. When I press Security in Settings, this displays: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" I've included part of a log to show that. (Let me know if I should just attach a file, rather than showing it here). At 19:22:07.786, you'll see where clicking Security caused the crash. But I kept some of stuff above that, just to show what's going on when clicking Settings....I guess it was trying to display info about Bluetooth on the Settings screen.

EDIT: In other catlog's, I see lots of that "Loading keymaster app failied" error. ('failed' is spelled wrong). I've been trying to read about that, but so far, it's gibberish to me!

EDIT: This is the last one for the night! I just turned on bluetooth and looked at the log. I compared it to one I did for my Nexus 4. The V500 shows something like this:

bdAddrLoader I Read from /persist/bluetooth/.bdaddr....

bdAddrLoader W There is no Address File in FTM area: /persist/bluetooth/.bdaddr

bdAddrLoader E Fail to read BDAddr .....

The Nexus 4's log shows success from that read. If I look at the Nexus 4 folder called /persist, there are both /bluetooth folders and /wifi folders....but those folders do NOT exist on the V500 (with your rom)! For the N4, they each contain a file with .bdaddr (6 bytes) and .macaddr (12 bytes). These should show in About Phone - Status. They are there for N4 (unless bluetooth isn't on), but for V500, they show unavailable. I have no idea why those files are not there. How does that /persist folder get created? I'm going to bring up my backup of the V500 system and see what it has. But it's kind of a pain to switch back and forth.

UPDATE: Well, the V500 rom doesn't have those files in /persist either. So the question is why does the log show that it is looking for that file for bluetooth? Okay, I'm really done for the night.
