Stock ROM is the original LG stock ROM

NO LRS NO MALLADUS! (i will try when have time).

others report that work... probably on LRS or MALLADUS! ;)

for me: NO init.d dir and no gamma improvements.

i have installed with your instructions and when i have checked no gamma or init.d for me i then double checked the install:

made a backup of installed boot with TWRP and binary compared with original BOB kernel... in case the install i've doned is erroneus...

result of binary compare: OK, is bob kernel what i running... so no errors from me ;)

i think they work only on MODIFIED stock rom.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
So, do you have bob kernel running or not? It's look like that you have it but without gamma and init.d.

Bob2702, what should be seen in about as kernel info?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
No, they will work. and do.

The gamma change is not huge, it just makes it useable( well, okay, thats huge), to further correct the gamma you will need an app like trickstermod to work.

For the init.d, did you also change the permissions on the files? Some have reported the permissions need to be fixed.

If there are people telling you Yes, it works on stock, then it works on stock and your tablet is the problem. Everybody else is not wrong.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
I don't get gamma control in trickster. Are you sure it's there? I I have init.d folder though. 1.2 LRS
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
No gamma controls with trickster either. Just color controls
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
No, guess I'm not sure at all. Sorry about that. I assumed too much. I know Bob compiled using the same settings I do for my kernel, but that does not mean that all the settings are available in the kernel source, or are not implemented differently.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

You may be right, but I believe that unlike a program to adjust color by adding a field, trickster does change the gamma( so no battery is used), but lacks all the goodies that are in some other kernels. I sure there are others who know all the details and can enlighten us further?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Canadoc:
I am now also wondering if this did anything. I have no system/etc/unit.d

No way to adjust gamma in trickster and in system under kernel just says 3.4. Any way too tell if this result worked our if this was placebo
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
How funny! I hope not. You have to create the folder yourself using root browser(preferred) in /etc.

Under about tablet-kernel version, I changed the name in my kernels to sleekai. If left blank, it will still have "3.4.0" or more . . . but really should be customized.

What trickster has controls for are what are called "Color Multipliers" and are a setting that can be changed with an init.d file. I left the path commented out, but available if you wish to make changes there. Maybe try 248 252 255 for a more Samsung look.

I just made an init.d script for battery savings. I will upload shortly in my init.d section. I will also clarify directions for use there.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] afrikanac:
Got a simple question: does your init.d script in the section for V510 apply for our V500? And if yes the steps to apply it and set it are the same? Little bit confused because I know that you own a V510 and your work is for it:cool:

Thanks anyway for your efforts in this forums:thumbup:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
yes, it should be the same. So long as you have init.d support you should be able to use any script so long as the parameters are the same, and they should be. Try it out and see!

Note* [MENTION=5534237]Bob2702[/MENTION]. sorry for posting this here. What started out as an answer to a question turned into something else. Any more questions about init.d should be asked in one of the appropriate threads.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Mercvtio:
Well, as for me I do seem to have an init.d folder, but it might have been created when I updated SuperSu from recovery : 2 scripts are already present, named 50superuser and 99SuperSUDameon. I copied sleekmason's one and rebooted, but I'm absolutely unable to tell if it worked.

For what it's worth, I have tried every gamma correcting apps from the PlayStore, and I know a few. None of them allowed me to tweak the gamma value, and all of them just said gamma control was unavailbale for my kernel. FWIW, I don't think OP claimed he implemented it, rather that he had fixed it. Sure, I would love to be able to tweak it myself, but I'm not sure it's intended to be like this.

Edit : so, I tried everything, and it seems that sleekmason's script changes absolutely nothing. I may have done something wrong, but it's not the first time I've been using scripts, so I think there's a problem with the init.d support. Anyone managed to see a change?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Bob2702:
Have you installed busybox?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Bob2702:
Yeah I have got it on my list of things to do but at the moment I'm working on fixing a large number of errors because I recently updated the toolchain to 4.8.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Cool! Let me know if you see any Improvement over 4.7. I suppose there should be...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] parsifal968:
Please attach the background you use to compare on my gpad... i have a suspect why i don't notice change.

my is ver V50010b with 7 light bleed on bottom... fixed by LG with 9 gen update (may LG recompiled the kernel with eabi 4.7 and fixed gamma?)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Bob2702:
It's just one of the stock background
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] parsifal968:
i see... when i write i'm not with my gpad...

mmmhhhh... seem the fix from LG is good.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] parsifal968:
For people that seen improvement:

have you 7 light bleed at bottom before this kernel?

with this kernel light bleed is fixed?

To check gamma:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester

what are the values you get?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Mercvtio:
I still have the 7 lights at the bottom. And i just tested with your app: gamma is somewhere between 2.0 and 2.1.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nightanole:
Which is where is should be . Some phones can have it at 1 or 3. You are shooting for a perfect 2.2.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] parsifal968:
Well! Mistery as finally gone!

Mine have the same results (2.0 - 2.1) WITHOUT BOB Kernel...

My gpad shipped with V50010a with 7 light bleed and before rooting i have launched the LG update, now is V50010b without (almost) 7 lights bleed (barely viewable).

I don't have checked gamma on V50010a but i think LG have fixed with january update.

Any on V50010a can check gamma with display tester with and without bob kernel to confirm.

I think who as V50010b don't have gamma improvements with BOB Kernel (respect for is work!)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nightanole:
Good to here. B in the EU meant they bumped the min brightness 10%. I didnt know they also adjusted teh gamma from 2.4-2.5 down to regular 2.1-2.2.

Can you check using display tester or http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ to see if you can view 0-255 on the brightness scale. Without "screen adjuster" i cant see below 10 or above 245. That has nothing to do with gamma but is a problem with default contrast.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
So flashing United Kingdom (to keep English as language) official V10B should correct gamma problem? Why tablet doesn't offer it as update?

Can you create a version for the KitKat stock that is out, and a gamma fix to 2.2 values?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] muiriddin:
It appears as if LG has not yet released the source for their KK stock kernel,

https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=v500

If you notice in the above link the V500's kernel source has JB in the name still. My guess is shortly after they have rolled it out everywhere, we should see an update of the source.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Try kernel from build 18, it has gamma about 2.2.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Bob2702:
I will be making it 4.4.2 but as previously mentioned the source hasn't been released yet
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
I liked the settings you used in your kernel. I don't like the settings in the stock KitKat kernel, so I will be looking forward to your KK update.

Well not good, it seams that what lg put up was not in fact the source code but some modifications that they put into their new kernel (or something along those lines). So I guess we will just have to keep waiting. One positive maybe is the files they did put up may be helpful in improving the kernel but I'm gonna have to do some more digging into that pile of misleading not-kernel source.

Anyone knows a rom with the gamma fix included?

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Bob2702:
If your on one of the 4.4.2 stock roms floating around go accessibility and then colour adjustment, for best results just drop the circle a tiny bit down from normal. Or you can screw up all the colour, and yes it is the worst way of changing it ever invented.

Hi,

I am stuck with the rooting of my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact following the [GUIDE] Back up DRM Keys & unlock/relock Bootloader (noob proof) and I hope you can help me. Everything worked fine until

17. Now format /system (located under Mounts & Storage) (Important: Do NOT reboot until advised so or you will have to start again)

When I start recovery mode and start PhilZ Touch 6 I get the error messages:

Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Unable to create brightness sys file

Can't mount /cache/recovery/logs

....

I also found that there might be a solution for it:

While in Recovery I had to flash lockeddualrecovery before anything else so partitions would be restored properly, then reboot and repeat step 19

But what does this mean? It sounds for me that I have to install the Z1C-lockeddualrecovery(...)flashable.zip first, in the menu I go to Install Zip, Choose zip from /sdcard and I get the error message Can't mount /sdcard.

How can I flash the lockeddualrecovery? Or what else could you suggest?

Thanks a lot for your help.

-> I found the solution, I have to boot with volume down first, use the alternative recovery app to install the .zip and then repeat step 19.

Now all I can do is to get to the bootloader, the hard reset does nothing. Moreover I cannot upgrade the extended rom at all giving me Error 113 at the very beginning of the update.

Not everything is lost

I'm not sure what happend. One possibility is a damaged download another a defective flash rom.

If it's the first, download T-Mobiles Update again and try to flash it.

If it's the second, demand repair under waranty.

Upgrading the ROMs with newer software versions is something the user can do and even is encuraged to do. So it should not damage your device.

Just don't mention you tried to upgrade your Universal with software not provided by your network operator. If you did so, that is :)

Hi, the last software loaded on to the Pro was T-Mobile's. The radio rom upgrade went ok and if they can read DOC, then they should see it. But the "monkeys" in the service only connected it to a computer, tried to flash it and once they saw "Model ID" error they immediately came up with the conclusion that I was trying to upgrade it with "illegal software" (as they call it). The thing is that any attempt to upgrade ROM from different vendors gives "Country ID" error. I won't give up. I'll demand to repair it under warranty. We'll see how this is going to end...
