what if I want to add my own picture in there? is there a way to do it? I'm not super tech savy but if you can point/give me proper instructions, I probably can do it..

Thank you

You would have to go over to the Developer's forum and look for Kernels and Roms. I do not know how to change the initial splash screen, only the lock screen.

How did you change your boot animation??

cant get it to work
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tycbox:
yeah man.. it took me forever to find out a way to change boot animation since the tab 3 7.0 has .qmg files.

Make sure you have your tablet root.. and use root explorer to go under the system/media folder you have to rename 2 of the bootanimation files.. bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak and bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak

Then go to this thread here and see how you can make/extract these 2 files based on your custom image that you want to put in. make sure

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727467 in this thread make sure you get the right files out. which is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsunglogo.qmg

get those 2 files and copy it from your computer to your sdcard, then use root explorer and copy those 2 new qmg files you just created from your sdcard into your tablet system/media folder.

AIC Kernel​

for LG G Pad 8.3 V500​

Compatible with v500 STOCK BASED LG 4.4.2 roms ONLY! The "gamma improvement only" is available for other ROM's in the installer

This was just a private build that seems to have gained some demand to help with the v500 gamma issue. I have been running it the past week and it seems stable enough to share to other v500 users. I'm not a developer, I build and update TWRP for the Nabi tablets, have shared a few windows bat files, have a VB.net app to automate various mods to the Nabi's, and a lot of research of nvflash/APX nand formatting for the Nabi's. My only previous kernel builds were for the HP Touchpad for private use, and my Ubuntu computer. Basically taking what real developers have done and trying to make it work for my own use.

EDIT 5/11/14: I put the gamma improvement fix in just a stock kernel with no other changes, and the changes to CM11 kernel. There are 2 CM kernel version depending on which LG ROM you installed CM over to deal with the dimming issue at boot. Those are available in the new all in one installer.

Disclaimer:

Experimental. Use this at your own risk.

Please Please Please make a full backup of your tablet.

Base:

The starting source is V50020B from LG

Compiled with arm-eabi-4.7

Added features:

Initial

Improved gamma. Using default linear LUT (from 1.8-2.0 to 2.2-2.3 on my screen)

Default overclock from 1.72 to 1.78Ghz (no voltage increase)

Default underclock to 162 Mhz

Sysfs Voltage Table added for undervolting

Allow GPU to manually increase freq from 400Mhz to 487Mhz

Add GPU boost to GPU on demand governor

Add Faux Display interface (gamma control seems broken)

Add NTFS support(untested)

Add SIO Scheduler

Add FIOPS Scheduler

Optimize memcopy, string and square root functions

Add Intelliactive Governor

I need to give some specific acknowledgement to "oubeichen" for sharing his kernel tree, and sharing of information. Also to id10terror's install script was the easiest to use as a template.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LeighR:
Tested it yesterday and it made a subtle but noticeable difference to whiteness and brightness. Thanks again :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] haasgo:
Am really eager to try! Thx a million times @op!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] xyojimbox:
So only run this if you're on a stock ROM not cm?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LeighR:
Correct
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Master SURGE:
tested with LRS ROM (stock based ) , working perfectly!

many thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bloommax:
Gamma has been corrected perfectly. Antutu benchmark increases from 24,631 to 25,669. Two minor issues: 1) a secure boot error message is displayed during every boot though the boot process is fine (signature issue?); the display is dimmer (about 20%) after sleep as compared to that immediately after boot (any workaround?)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aicjofs:
Nice increase on Antutu.

Secure boot error is normal with any custom boot image. Are you saying it stays on the screen once the LG logo starts "shimmering"?

Do you have auto brightness or manual brightness?

I have seen a couple of patches that might address that. I will give them a look next time I build. I want to turn off a debug config that makes the modules larger, intelliactive governor tops out at 1.72 instead of 1.78 by default, add exfat, and look in to replacing mpdecsion, maybe row scheduler. When I do that I will look at the dimming.

Before I do the above I was looking at anykernel script as some people have asked if I could make this work for other ROM's other then stock ROM's.

So anyone else notice anything thats an issue? Gamma decent? Stable? Probably only 3 of you, haha but I still am curious.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
It is nice to see you doing some kernel development! Uploading your kernel to XDA will also allow you to keep track of how many users have downloaded your kernel. You may be surprised. I'm guessing more in the 75-150 range so far.:)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bjcrj:
I have been using the kernel all day and it's working great! Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vimesUK:
As I mentioned in the other thread that you first posted this I have been using Infected's build of SimKat and thus this would not have been compatible.

But curiosity got the better of me and so I restored my backup of the stock ROM to install this kernel and see if I too noticed a difference...

Now I'm torn between the obvious advantages of using the stock ROM with this kernel (many thanks for that) or to go back to the preferred SlimKat build of KK and then lose he differences that this kernel brings.

Talk about a rock and a hard place - lol

Many thanks again for the kernel and sharing it with us :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aicjofs:
Thank you good sir! Without SleekAI the 510 users would just have to run stock :P

I didn't even think to look on Box.net. Says 69 so you were close. I need to swap it over to my NabTabHacks website, I could monitor it there.

Well I combed over the anykernel script today. It copies the ramdisk out of whatever ROM you are currently running and then inserts just the kernel then copies modules over. Nothing elaborate but slick in the fact that you don't have to go messing with the ramdisk each time a ROM has an update that effects the ramdisk. I was thinking of doing it manually which would be a huge time sink.

Where the problem could be though is kernel module functionality. Let's take CM for example, I'm not sure the DSP Sound would work if what I describe above was used. Also there is the mobicore modules for example that aren't in this kernel. Speaking of other ROM's another bug would be the screen dimming for those running 4.2.2 base. While changing to 4.4.2 should clear it up it's still not plug and play solution. It's weird I thought I had a good grasp on what was happening with the dimming. If you look at board-palman-display.c(V510 GPE) and board.awfi-display.c(V500) and look at the lm3532 backlight stuff, you can see that values for palman start ridiculous low ~3, where awfi starts at 133 or something I think. Palman uses linear mapping and awifi uses exponential mapping. When I swapped those values I got the screen dimming at boot too. Problem is all that get swapped when installing a ROM and bootimg, so thats not it, or at least not in entirety.

Who knows... I guess in short I might have something to put together for all ROM's but what it breaks is quite unknown.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Have you looked at the install script I use for the 510? You have the ability to change ramdisk files on the fly using sed (easiest language I could find), by opening the device ramdisk, insert one liner, close ramdisk, combine into boot.IMG.

I have a couple of simple changes for allowing tethering, and values that I couldn't make without it! This part of it may work for you!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bloommax:
I kept auto brightness disabled. It does not work well for 4.4.2. You may replicate the brightness issue with the following procedure: 1) reboot the tablet; 2) when adjusting the brightness slider, you will find 0% is very (too) bright, and the entire range is high; 3) after sleeping and waking, the brightness is much dimmer, and the entire range from 0% to 100% is lower in brightness. It seems a procedure during wake modified the range of brightness settings.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] prasoeu168:
Run with stock kernel 20B. I will test urs by now
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] meanoc:
Well after having to do a complete reinstall due to another issue, I tried this kernel. Man I've only used it for a few hours but color me highly impressed :good: My gamma is almost perfect and it seems noticeably faster and smoother.

Really great job and thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Subtleone:
How is the battery life?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] vimesUK:
In my ignorance I was not aware of what could implicate the brightness values and range on this tablet. Having only just bought it, and upgraded to KK right away, I was not aware of how JB performed, in that respect. Prior to your kernel I was using the Screen Adjuster app as a sort of fix to compensate for the comparative (to my other tablets and phones) lackluster screen performance of the tablet. With the SlimKat ROM I was experiencing, but might have overcome them, some dimming issues which I did not understand.

Since restoring the stock KK backup and using your modified kernel I no longer need the screen adjuster app and things do seem to have improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] crazytexan182:
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I searched and searched and didn't find anything. My apologies if this is a repeated question.

Is there any, ANY way at all to get a Mega on Verizon (not the prepaid just a regular Verizon business account) I have to keep Verizon for work, otherwise I'd switch just to have the Mega. If there is a way (flashing, unlocking, international versions) what if any limitations will the phone then have.

I assume since I couldn't find one Mega working on Verizon on eBay there probably isn't a way to do it without doing some kind of illegal ESN cloning or something else that isn't worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
I don't know if Verizon will do it, but because the Mega uses a SIM card, most companies will interchange them. You may be able to get a Verizon SIM and it work, you could always ask Verizon if you could brig a phone from another cell company.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
I will ask you how it's possible Mega on Verizon?

its really frustrating not being able to just click one button and open a new message ready for typing and sending (i dont need vijay's vjsms as i dont want a ready template to send to one person, unless there is a way to change what his says as well. i checked his website but didnt see any mappings for new sms).

also, button 4 is assigned to voice dial. i tried changing it but it wont budge. i mean, in the settings>buttons it shows i changed it to <ok/close> but when i click it, it still opens voice dialing.

any way to make that stop?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
I use claunch on my Today screens, or a couple of my own plugins.

Misc Requirements

Flash the ND8 stock tar if you haven't already.

Is this step above necessary? Or do I just follow these instructions?

Update your recovery to latest TWRP, CWM, Philz, whatever you are using

Download ROM

Wipe data (optional, but recommended)

Wipe internal sd (optional, but recommended)

Flash rom

Profit.

It's necessary. That's why it's listed as a requirement.

No kitkat touchwiz rom will boot on your device otherwise.

Love your work Cnexus but Im hoping you would provide a little clarification.

1) Since you say this requires installation of the stock Tar Im assuming this will still have Knox built in? specifically in the bootloader I know the apps can be deleted but the bootloader is separate.

2) If I flash the ND8 tar can I downgrade to a previous version ?

Don't click it, wait for it to download when you get to the page that says "Downloading"
