No, i missed the deadline for this week to submit the branches as i was waiting for the screen delay bug to happen to me so i could take a log.
I identified a mpdecision bug that could be the fault for this (as i was still waiting for the bug to happen) fixed ;)

https://github.com/Ntemis/android_kernel_lge_v500/commit/c186d80c7b7511740a441e0edf490e824e1d6cf0

Also kernel is not all shape up yet and i need it to be tested a bit more if possible.
Bud, I posted my logs in the previous page if you want to take a look. Also, I'm not going to be able to flash the new build till later this weekend. I got a work deadline Monday and I am training for a competition in two weeks. When I do I will report.

Only problem for me is the keyboard flickers. Had this before but can't remember what the solution was. Clean install. Wiped data/cache/dalvik/formatted system.

Final build is posted on OP
all other builds removed so people don’t get confused.
Changelog
Removed GSG 4 I9505 blobs as Ricardo updated the blobs probably from the new 4.4.2 rom.
Switched back to mainline kernel.
Should be now buggless ;)
You have almost a full week for testing this.
Any issues report.
Regards
Perfect So far Demetris! You the MAN! My keyboard flicker is....Gone! All my apps/games are running fine. No issues found so far. Woohoo!
Enjoy the week Demetris. You've earned it!

So far it's working wonderful here too. The only thing I haven't touched yet is force GPU rendering and transition animations. Can someone confirm that those do not cause any problems with screen wakeup and rotation.
Edit: flashed Z2 bionic for first time and it wOrked like a charm. ?

The people who tried this rom, cm11 and madhi: which is the best?
Depends what you like. I ran Mahdi for a while. No problems, good rom. Tried Dirty Unicorns for a few days. Again, good rom with no problems and has TRDS from Slim. But I have been a Slimroms fan for years. Couldn't wait for it on the G pad! (Thanks a million Demetris!) Slim is smooth, and dark. Just enough options to not get complicated.

64GB microsd issues?

Having a problem with 64GB microsd card. I can't erase or mount the card on the device. When I try to format, the device reboots. Anyone having this problem?

The micrsd works in other devices and when the device was running stock LG 4.4.2 18a. I have a couple of 2GB microsd that seem to work fine with the device.

UPDATE: Went back to stock KK 18a and the same 64GB sdcard works.

Card needs to be formatted to fat32 not exfat. Most aosp won't recognize exfat unless it's directly implemented in the kernel
