This is CandyKat. Built straight from SlimRoms source with commits
from a variety of different Sources/ROMS. We wanted to give the users a fun,
fully customizable ROM.We aim to add more features as this project progresses.
We have also come up with the Candy Sweetener Pack. This is an Aroma installer
that is full of delicious treats. Inspired by the CandyShop thread on XDA it has
everything from glow dots to halo mods.

Hi All,
Thank your for looking at this thread and maybe give CandyKAT a try...
Please note :
1°) CandyKat does not enable root access after it is installed. This causes CandyCenter to crash at first boot. This is normal... Just enable developer's options (7 times on "build version" under "About this tablet" in "Parameters") ; go to developer's options and under "Debugging" enables root for Apps (or for Apps and ADB) => VOILA ! Problem solved
2°) CandyKat is based on SlimRoms. It seems that Slim has a problem on some devices with "Plants vs. Zombies 2". This may occur here.
I have personally run this for 3 days on my own v500 for testing purposes and did not encounter a single problem with the ROM.

Nice job, thanks !!

Does this rom expect the 7 light brightness base (aka 4.2.2) or the fixed low brightness base 4.4.2 firmware?

Good to see a new ROM!

Hi Muriddin,
Can't answer that precisely as my v-500 is flashed with a v-510 4.2.2 base so it does not suffer form the 4.4.2 Base brightness bug.
But as this based on SlimROM, which is an AOSP ROM I expect the "bug" to be present...
Regards.

You answered what I wanted to know. I am sure you know this but for those who do not... The trade off here is the 4.2.2 base does not start dim but does have the seven dark spots on low brightness. The 4.4.2 base fixed the seven dark spots bug but the kernels built against the 4.2.2 base then have what is commonly called the brightness/dim boot bug.

Hi,
What is this "Seven dark sports on low brightness" ? I've never heard of it. And I don't think I've seen something like it...

On the 4.2.2 base the backlight is incorrectly calibrated for extremely low brightness settings. Most of my work with this tablet is at night at a brightness setting of 0. Which makes me see this issue all the time.
To see it, in a dark room, use gmail (it has a white background) at a brightness of 0 and turn the tablet sideways. Look at the bottom of the tablet (which is now the left side since you rotated it) where the backlight is mounted on most v500 models you will see seven dark spots at regular intervals.
The firmware change in 4.4.2 makes this issue go away. I run the red kernel with AOSP Roms I use because it needs the 4.4.2 base and this issue really bugs me.
I can get a picture and share it when I get home if you want...
Thanks for the new ROM by the way. I really appreciate seeing developers support this wonderful device.

You can flash a v510 base onto a v500?

Yeah,I was curious what NexusPenguin was referring to.It sounds like some of the firmware base is interchangeable between the v500 and v510.
