Is anybody working on a custom ROM for the 510 yet? Kind of not necessary given there's no bloat and xposed works well. That being said, part of the reason I wanted to root my tablet is to play with different Roms/kernels.
I will say that mine is lightening fast, was easy to root using Linux, and has NO problems with the screen.
Any Update?
Any update on custom ROMs for the GPE V510?

Why are you wanting a custom ROM? I ask because these days you can do many of the same things that were afforded by custom ROMs on the stock ROM using Xposed Framework modules, in particular GravityBox. There are very few options that I've seen in CM, AOKP, etc., that you can't do with those ROMs installed, and you get the benefits of the stock ROM, particularly with GPE.
Anyone who has used both a GPE and a rooted V500 running any AOSP ROM: is there any difference is responsiveness and speed at opening web pages?

Yeah, that's been annoying. Think I have it fixed on latest kernel. At least my test run is working. It used to be forever waiting. Will upload sleekai5.1 soon. I'll check to see if XDA has their uploads fixed yet. Don't really like using github for that.
Sleekmason,
Really love the kernal mods. waiting for your next release with great anticipation.

So you are confirming that the V510 is more responsive and opens web pages faster than the V500?

More responsive? Yeah, probably. Don't know about Roms. I scored 27474 on antutu for whatever that's worth. That's not with init.d set to lower CPU. Another user posted similar with madhi and the dyn kernel.
Web pages? You tell me.

Well, I can't tell you.... at least not yet. I'm comtemplating buying a V510 and selling my V500. If someone with experience on both could post feedback.
And thanks for your info.

If you want a custom ROM, why did you spend too much money on the GPE?

Because it sounds like fun. I later began tweaking the kernel instead, and adding other things like xposed. This thread is old. I wrote this when I first got the device and was looking for something different to work on. Because I wanted a clean device from which to work.
Other GPE devices can run custom Roms like their non gpe counterparts. This is the only device I'm aware of that actually has issues just loading any ROM you like. It's a shame.

Now I can tell you. The V510 definately opens apps and web pages faster than a V500 (running CM11). Thanks for convincing me to buy one. Selling my V500.

The issue is no one made a device tree yet for the v510. I have part of the device tree going thanks to @Drgravy and will be finishing it up when I can find the time.
Maybe @sleekmason can help with kernel

My buddy has a gs3 and the stock ROM isn't working or for him in terms of battery life. I'm pretty sure it's due to all the bloatware so I plan on rooting and throwing a custom ROM on it. However I don't have a gs3 so I'm not sure what the most stable ROMs with the least amount of bugs are. Suggestions?

Could start with a debloated stock?
Also, does he want TW or AOSP? Once you know the answer to that one, simply search the top threads and go with w/e he likes the best. They all have their features and such in the OP.

That really depends on what type he prefers: stock touchwiz style or aosp based. Everyone has their own opinion. In the Android development section you can find toms that are based on stock firmware. In the original android section are the aosp based roms. I would have him look at and read over the first page of each section. The most active roms are usually on the top half or so of the first page.

Doesn't matter. He's not a power user and will be fine with either. I just want to make sure I give him the most stable ROM since he doesn't tweak experiment like a lot of us do. Based on my previous experience with past phones I automatically towards AOKP but I'm at work and don't have the time to look through all the rom threads to get a feel of which is most stable so I figure I'd just ask.

Task's AOKP is rock solid. Tons of features and great performance. No stability issues for me and I've been running his updates exclusively since December.

Awesome, AOPK it is. Been a big fan of it myself. Only left because of the PA features.
Thanks for all the input everyone. Seems like of all my friends in the only one not using a gs3 lol.

If you haven't used Task's AOKP on an S3, it isn't quite like the AOKP you're probably used to. You'll have to try it out for yourself to see what's different.

Will do, thanks for the heads up.
I am thinking about a new tablet since mine got water damage. I want the new Nexus tab, but if I can get this for the right price I will have it as a backup with the Nexus comes out.
Hows Battery Life?
Is it possible to install the GPE software and how easy is it?
Anything I should know about the pad since I havent looked into it at all, just love the size and want on screen buttons so Sammy devices are out.

Regarding the battery life, for the price, its not really bad. I would recommend rooting it right away though to increase the battery life. Using stock, I was able to get about 6-7 hours playing The MMO, Avabel, which is pretty intensive graphics wise. I would recommend installing slimkat ROM + greenify to further increase battery life. Havent been able to test how much improvement I got as I let my wife borrow it for a while.
Regarding your second question, I believe you want to convert the regular V500 to the GPE V510 version. There have already been numerous threads on the forums discussing this. So far, it looks like some radios are not working, most notably, WIFI. and is buggy. You can do a search on the forums to view the current status. What I am using is Slimkat, which is pretty close to AOSP and very good when it comes to battery life.
Regarding the last question, I've had mine for only 2 weeks and thus far, Im enjoying it. the bazels are small, the tablet itself feels well made, and performance wise, its pretty good for its current price point. On the negative side, the speakers doesn't sound very nice and are at the back. Would have been better if it was on the front. The screen is not too bright when using outdoors, and the camera is pretty crappy (although we don't really use the tablet as a camera as often as a smartphone so shouldn't be a biggy). However I got mine for about $225 (US) brand new and for the price point, I can hardly find anything save for the nexus 7 that can beat it, performance wise. Ran an antutu benchmark right after installing slimkat on it and actually scores higher than the note 2. Not bad for a $225 tablet, in full HD.
Hope this helps.
Firstly, I love it!!
Still makes me laugh that it's called GPad (lawsuit from Apple anyone)
Battery is better than my mobile ph ^^
Build quality is awesome!!
Mine was dirt cheap (brand new) $299 NZD.
Apparently there's a brightness bug (haven't noticed yet)...
Getting it rooted and ready for custom roms is/was a bit of a mission (if you OTA update to 4.4.2, mine came with 4.2.2 on board).
A few custom roms available - much of a muchness at present.
Needs some custom rom variety, for sure.
If you can get it cheap (like me) I'd jump at the chance!

Yeah it definitely could use more custom ROMS. Unfortunately though it doesn't look like there are too many devs interested yet. Hopefully the demand gets higher. My slimkat doesn't even have a stable release yet. On their official page, it says no tester or something like that. There are some CM nightlies, pac man, and CMB roms available though. Tried CMB but has some app compatibility issues so went with AOSP-based ROM for maximum compatibility.

If you want the GPE software, why don't you buy the Google Play Edition. Used ones available on Swappa and eBay.

There's a gpad on Craigslist for $200 nearby and didn't see any gpe on swappa. I know it's fairly easy to make the M8 run gpe software, so I was curious if it's as easy for the gpad

You can run GPE ROM on V500, but it's not really useable. WiFi doesn't work. Hardware is just enough different that drivers won't work. Devs spent a lot of time on this early this year and hit a brick wall. I sold my V500 and purchased a GPE, and I don't regret the change. Keep watching swappa and eBay. One will show up before long.

Ive tried CMB. CM based ROMS are awesome, but the app incompatibility is a deal breaker for me because a few of my apps are in that list. So I stayed with slimkat AOSP based ROM. Never looked back ever since. If only franco kernel is compatible with our tablet, im all set.
Well maybe if the GPE ROM gets ported if and whenever that will happen
EDIT: Im also looking for a fix for the brightness bug on my slimkat. The LEDs appear off but I just double tap my power button to fix anyway. Not really a major peeve for me. Though a fix is very much welcome
I wanna know about the custom rom suggestion from u. which will be the best ??

When I buy a new phone I spend like days trying all roms (or at least main ones) and looking at features and optimization
I usually don't care of battery, I think there is no such system that save battery without losing performance, and because I'm a more performance oriented user, just don't look at battery and charge anytime is low....
Viper rom is crazy, so many features, options, system is very smooth, but IMO the more tweaks and mods a rom contains, the more things are screwed up inside, or at least gives me that impression. I can't say is not stable, but I find a stockish rom smoother....
and because I am a stock look guy, I have to say that out of the box the rom has already some graphic tweaks that doesn't make me feel home, and this is kinda annoying for me....but if you are a mod fan, flash this and you will never have to flash anything else haha
Android Revolution is the main referral for stock rom, very good, but....meh, I am an htc user since sensation, and is not as optimized as 4 years ago...
cyanogenmod and candy (based on cm source, so is almost the same) are nice, I can't stay without sense, but they are working.
cyanogen didn't give me any "wow" effect, stock always seems smoother and faster, but I think is only matter of time...early development
ICE is a very good rom for an experienced dev, but doesn't catch me for some reason.
and at last...the one I am using now....maximus HD....this rom comes from llabtoofer, which is the main leaker from htc and a very experienced dev, rom is always smooth and stable. since is the only one I usually keep I can give you a feedback, and is not so great, I have always 3h or even less screen on (with android wear all the day), but keeps up for 20h (my day)....since I don't use the phone so much keeps up longer with less screen on time
I'm missing only leedroid which has his own custom kernel, so is interesting, I think I will try it today or tomorrow ...
I have to say I was a SkyDragon user on m8 and m7 and would like to see that rom updated here, which was definitely the faster on other phones
Lee droid and candy
I would say sky dragon ,pyrano or ice are my favorites tried them all and think pyrano be my favourite about of the 6 I tried

Cm 13 is awesome! No bugs at all running really smooth. Why not just nandroid and flash it to see yourself how good it is ? Then if there is something you don't like about it just restore back up.
It's a legit question...
1. What is better compared to stock? (this should be clear)
2. What are the downsides compared to stock? (this is not clear at all)
3. Is CM13 usable as a daily driver, generally and compared to stock?
Can someone tell me the differences between the two ROMs? Which one is smoother?
I'm currently on MoDestROM and to be honest, I don't see myself EVER switching, but who knows. I have a ZeroLemon battery and the kernel that the author of MoDestROM has seems to discharge my battery correctly. The only reason I might switch is if there are mind-blowing features that I've gotta have, but again, if my battery won't read correctly, then it's not worth it.

Hey @Joshkorn, I have used both. And I also run modest. They are similar but the rr has more customization. I run all of these and nseven about a week or so at a time . Constantly backing up and flashing updates. Try them out for yourself and tell us what you think. [emoji2]
