Hello,
I have started looking at the possibilities of running custom roms on V935 and it looks promising
I am new to LG development, so maybe my observations are obvious, but I am posting what I have checked so far to encourage other devs. Here are all my steps in case someone would like to help or take it from there.
1) Device rooted as described here (we need cleaner way of doing it BTW):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-pad-10/general/root-g-pad-2-10-1-success-t3278360
2) Enable OEM unlock ticked in Developer options (this is most probably irrelevant)
3) Compiled the stock kernel from LG sources:
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=V935
4) Boot image repacked with Android Image Kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
5) Boot image signed with Open Bump:
https://github.com/CyboLabs/Open_Bump
6) Boot image flashed with dd.
When the device boots it shows an error "Secure booting Error! Error code: 1003". After 1 minute though it boots successfully. On the compiled kernel everything seems to work fine except for the touchscreen. I haven't started debugging it yet.
I am not sure how LG secure boot stuff is suppose to work, but it seemed that signing with OpenBump is required to boot at all. I was expecting though not to see any error when using this tool
Anyway, it looks promising to me as we got everything what is required to kick of custom roms for this nice device. I hope there are other devs considering working on this device. I suppose that V940 should behave in similar way.
Best regards,
Tomek
