Nö, you are not alone with the black screen. Maybe a kernel thing, you can take screenshots with content.

If this doesn’t boot also i will start to think that LGpad source code is broken
Test and report

Bootloop on New Build

New build remains stuck on Slim Kat boot screen. Doesn't load fully.

I think this went a step backwards. Now it gets stuck at boot animation. Earlier build, I believe, actually booted but with blank screen. At least I would get the haptic feedback as when a ROM boots before the screen would go blank.

ok i will release tomorrow a new build without the new linaro toolchain and a prep clean state.
Also could be that slim repo is broken
