Okay so I am running CM 10.1 on an i717, I used ROM toolbox to download a boot animation and it killed it, not the phone just the boot ani. I have researched and looked everywhere and cant find what I am looking for. While I'm running CM 10.1 what do I need to name the animation, what permissions does it get, and where does it go? I have tried every piece of advice I have found for other devices and nothing has worked so far. I am hoping somebody on here can shoot me in the right direction.
Just re-flash the same rom you installed and wipe dalvik cache. You should be fixed!

I'll keep that in mind if I can't fix it. I would like to be able to use other boot animations though. i have it as bootanimation.zip and I have tried system/media as well as data/local , but when it boots up all you see is a white square with no graphics. Also have permissions set as rw-r-r, upside down L. Any ideas why it's not taking?
The height and width of your animation need to be just right or it won't work. Maybe that's it?
Fixed - So I just updated to the latest nightly and it's working fine now.
HI
SINCE NOONE WORKS ON MODIFICATIONS OF ROMS FOR OUR DEVICES, HERE IS ONE FROM MY TREASURY.
I HOPE THAT THIS MOVE WILL ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME.
GOAL IS TO CHANGE LOOK, FEEL, AND APP FUNCTIONALTY OF OUR DEVICES.
STOP TALKING, LET'S SEE:
Features:
Rooted out of the box
deodexed
init.d support
busybox
removed bloatware
changed boot/shutdown animation
modded (light) systemui,framework,contact etc.
with built in
potato gradient
quicklaunch
3minit battery
added some useful apk's like
appolo
quick boot
battery bar
and Airidosas252 kernel V0,3
And minimal other changes, to make space for mods.
How to install:
Make CWM backup
Copy maxx05.zip to your sd card (external_SD)
option 1. CLEAN INSTALL:
Make factory reset, clean dalvik cache
Install ROM
Reboot
Dont scare, first boot take up to 10 min...
option 2.INSTALL WITHOUT FACTORY RESET (TO PRESERVE APPS AND DATA)
(I can't guarantee stability)
Clean cache, clean dalvik cache
Install ROM
Reboot
After bootup, make changes in Potato gradient, to avoid black background of statusbar (make it transparent if you wish).
HAPPY FLASHING, AND GO ON, MAKE YOUR OWN MODS (AND SHARE)

Is it possible to use your rom but with unmodified systemui, framework etc? If so, what should I replace? I want to check it out, especially the LED function.

Yes, just rewrite my LGSystemUI, framework-res, and lge-res, with stock and deodexed versions of them, change prmissions to -rw-r--r-- (like other files in folders).
And delete 3minit/potato gradient from system/app (com.three.minitbatterysetting, and com.potatogradientapp).
Please, post result here.
Unfortunately
I flashed your rom as it is, without changing anything. Just to prevent making any mistake from my part. I can confirm that the LED still doesn't work as it's supposed to, at least on my device. The only difference I noticed was that with your rom the LED notifications worked every time I unlocked and then locked the screen without dismissing them while with Amiga's they sometimes did and sometimes did not. The fact is that the LED is supposed to flash by default when the screen is off and the phone is untouched but it doesn't with both roms. So I guess it is a KK bug.

Really dont know what to say, because, on my device, LED notification works normaly, eg, in the morning (loooong screen off) I allways see happy flashes on it. You have P710?

Might be kernel related or system related. Why? How is the led turned on? It has a driver that turns red blue or green at an intensity. So kernel might be buggy or system might use it just bad. Try with stock kernel if you are using a modded one if you want to debug it. If it doesn't work it's OS related something is messing up the notification usage.

Yes, I do have a P710. It would be nice if there were many more checking your rom, so there would be more results. Could there possibly be minor hardware differences between bunches of the same model? I don't know what to think. It's a shame because you people create roms with hard work and we can't use them properly.

@SoulrainFalls I honestly doubt there is any hardware difference. Hmmm what kernel do you have? Also an app or anything can basically mess up the usage of LED.

Both this rom and Amiga's use Airidosas252 kernel. I know about apps, that's why I didn't install anything more than K9-Mail and BBM to check. But it seems strange that with JB I had all sorts of apps installed and the LED was fine. And how come the notifications don't work by default but do when I unlock and then lock the screen again? What I can see is that people are having LED problems even with stock KK .kdz. I think LG screwed the update(?) and that's bad for these guys that make the roms.

Might be bad update by lg or a glitch in kernel or an app interfering. Anyway this kind of glitches are very very very very hard to trace and debug.

I agree, hard to trace bug, but, just for to be shure, it will be smart to flash stock KK kernel from SoulrainFalls's country/provider KDZ. No matter wich rom is installed on device.
HELP
Hi i need help.
I upgrade my LG L7 II firmware from 4.1 to 4.4.2 and i'm not satisfied i want to downgrade back to 4.1

My P710 came with V10J EUROPE OPEN by default. I'm willing to try what you suggest because it can help others have an answer too but I don't know how to flash just the kernel. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just flash your original firmware from this page: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21. Choose one from your country/region/provider, and must be version 10 (JB), NOT 20a (KK).
After flashing you MUST perform factory reset.

If you is on v10j, that is JB firmware...
When You flash KK, procedure for stock kernel is:
From the page: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=21, download your country/region/provider firmware 20a kdz.
From tutorial on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/lg-l7-ii-how-to-unpack-kdz-img-t2815176, perform steps from 1. to 10.
Between extracted images, is APPS.
Rename it to boot.img , that is stock kernel.
Place it to your external_SD.
Open terminal (on the phone) and type:
su (after that press enter)
dd if=/storage/external_SD/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (and press enter)
If you're not familiar with terminal, download airidosas kernel from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/general/p710-p713-p714-kitkat-kernel-lg-optimus-t2889120
and replace boot.img in his .zip with your extracted from your .kdz.
Flash zip from recovery

Unfortunately these steps won't work because I'm on Linux. If anyone knows another way, I'd be happy to check it. Meanwhile, I flashed a couple of different versions of Airidosas kernel and noticed a tiny improvement. First of, with both v0.2 and v0.2.1, in the Home button LED settings the preview worked fine while before it was cut off immediately and second, every time I received a notification, when I unlocked and then locked the screen without even opening the app that sent the notification and without dissmissing it, the LED flashed happily. I checked with both the lockscreen in Amiga's rom and with WidgetLocker.
In conclusion:
1) The LED preview works in the Home button LED settings.
2) The LED notification works when unlocking and then locking the screen without dismissing the notification.
3) The LED stays off when a notification is received and the screen is off, unless 2) happens.
4) The LED works on boot time and while charging.
These are the findings on my device. I don't know if anything makes any sense. Just a thought. I think I read somewhere (correct me if I'm mistaken) that in KK the LED function has been changed and while in JB one would only see the LED flash when the screen was off, in KK the LED notifications work even while the screen is on. Could there be a bug somewhere in this?
Build in the works. Going to release the BETA as soon as I can do testing on my own device before release.
IMO this is a necessity as there are literally no good roms for this right now. I tried the port of the Nexus stock CR rom and it was not great. Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

As a follow up to my original post I wanted to mention that for anyone who wants a new ROM on their SM-T290 until this is finished development, use the Nexus Rom by Magendanz. I was able to do a fresh stock firmware install and retry the rom and my opinion has changed. I have noticed that these Tab A 8.0 tablets have been used a lot for like Uber/Door Dash and other POS terminals. I am pretty sure a lot of them have modified or customized firmware for these reasons and when I mine second hand it was from a pizza store. I think that messed up the upgrade.
Overall Magendanz did a great job, when you install it properly. I have zero issues with functionality now, TWRP recovery set up, as well as Magisk installed and everything is running extremely well.
As far as instruction on how to install. Take a look at some of the comments further down on the Nexus thread. That is what I did this time around and it worked perfectly. Last thing I did was copy Magisk.Apk to my SD, change extension from .APK to .ZIP, then boot into TWRP and install that ZIP.
Going to update progression on a monthly basis as far as the LineageOS 18.0 build

Do you have a github with your source code and manifest? I just got this tablet (used) yesterday and I would like to see if I can help. I have built LineageOS roms for a number of older Samsung Tab A devices, but will have to do some research on the "new to me" T290. Thanks.
Just got this tablet, how's the beta coming along? And what can I do to help?
Thank you my guy I had lost all hope for custom roms on this tablet. It's quite relieving to know that I'm not alone.
Also, has anyone experienced severe lag on one ui 3 while doing basic tasks? The thing literally gets 5 fps while watching youtube and surfing the web but it plays 3d games at 20 fps on low settings. wtf

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!

The GSI is a .img.xz will it work or does it need to be .gsi

You download the .img.xz file and unzip it.
Inside this will be the .img file

Use this one

It has Gapps built in as well as super user through SSH, dont install Magisk as it will error that there is already SU tool installed.
@SniperFox22 , did you make a github for the code or didn't even start since you are happy with GSI?

My OS didn't have an option to unzip it at first glance. I haven't been able to install gapps so I'm gonna try that gsi. Also, am I supposed to wipe internal storage before flashing or not?
I got it working but games just crash which is worse than before
Came across this while trying to root my sm-t290. Just want to add that Andy Yan has upgraded to a 19.1 version that appears to work just fine. Flashed to system partition using twrp after I had flashed the Nexus rom. Wifi works, sound works, sd card, bluetooth keyboard works just fine.

Link to it???
I like the link above because it has all the versions but lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img.xz is the one that I used. The page has the naming convention. Ill mention that even though it says that it's supposed to be rooted, I couldn't get it to work right. The nexus rom had an option in the 'phh treble' menu to activate root and this lineage image should also but the option wasn't there. It kept saying the supersu binary was busy but that was after I flashed a supersu.zip(it may have worked before then i don't know). I played with it a little bit but ended up just flashing back to the Nexus rom.
Hey guys!
Installed "lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img"
Everything starts up, but something is weird with my installation and my storage, it freezes when i go into storage and i cant download anything without apps start to crash.
Im not sure if i flashed it correctly, i did a wipe in TWRP before installation.
Really hope i can get this to work since it waaaaay faster then the bloat samsung ships
Edit:
Tried flashing another rom (nexus) and had the same issue!
trying to reflash and wipe everything except internal storage.
Where should i flash image? i get: "select partition to flash image", never seen that before (might be because you flash img and not zip)
