Probably simple and stupid question, but....
Do I have to do some configuration to LCDProc after I load it from add-on XBMC-repo?
To LCD.xml.default?
To LCDProc.conf?
Where they should be?
I have 20x2 HD 44780 but nothing on display... I did searches but did not find "for dummies" guide.
Can anyone point me to right direction Please.

Yes, you need to configure LCDProc.conf for your HD44780.

This addon is only a client to LCDd - you have to install and configure the LCDd (daemon) on your own to make use of this addon. (the daemon has to be installed on the host which is connected to the LCD - this might be the same box which runs Kodi, but could be another box in the network aswell).

Cant edit LCDd.conf, well can but cant store. It says read-only file system?
Should I store it somewhere else, and if where to point it?

Copy LDCd.conf to /storage/.config/
Code:
cp /etc/LCDd.conf /storage/.config/
Then it should work.
I keep meaning to write a wiki tutorial on this, but haven't had time lately.

How can I probe if LCD is or not started properly? If I try LCDdproc on raspberian, it says unknown connection type for hd44780 with rpi or raspberry as connection type... Is it supported anymore? If not what would be easy not expencive substitute?
Will adafruit i2d work?

I did try this " * If the Display is not working, open a terminal or console and type the command “LCDd -c /storage/.config/LCDd.conf -dhd44780-s true”.It should respond with GPIO mapping information. This step is necessary especially if you corrupted your “LCDd.conf” by typo errors in-between or if it was not found during startup."
It did not return anything.

How are you connected? What does your entry in LCDd.conf look like? What GPIO pins are you using? It works on my HD44780 LCD screen.

Connected via GPIO Like this in conf file:
ConnectionType=rpi
D7=18
D6=23
D5=24
D4=25
RS=7
EN=8
BL=15
also try:
ConnectionType=raspberrypi
pin_D7=18
etc...
and mixed variations of above because different sources tell different stories...
