[/MOD NOTE]
## it is highly recommended you update to 1.6a ##
Time for my new rom. The ICS version of Gsnap elite. This is the initial release and may contain some bugs. The lg ui is proving to be a pain to work with so consider this an alpha or an early beta. In other words things may not be 100% stable just yet. Please report any issues you have.

PhenomX4 for ICS
Neko95 on xda for the idea
XDA in general for information and resources
The entire community
Based on Phenoms 8-30-13 ICS
Install
#Always make a back up first
1. Do a full wipe
#Full wipe includes data/reset factory resotre in recovery, wipe cache, under mounts and storage wipe system, under advanced wipe dalvik
2. Flash the ROM
3. Flash gapps
4. Fix Permissions
5. Reboot (this might take some time due to app optimization)
6. Wait few minutes and reboot again
***** Special notes, after flashing and fixing permissions you will see an option to fix root when you try to reboot. You want to select this, i added some ram tweaks and it requires this. Then after you get into the phone open superuser and update the binary and you should be fine *****
Screenshots:
ICS_Snap_Elite - Imgur
What's included:
Full LG UI 3 launcher with wallpapers and widget pickers
LG UI 3 Themed apps
LG UI 3 Persistent theme
LG Weather, Finance, File Manager, Memo
LG Fonts, boot animation and sounds
Extra Apps:
Terminal
Torch
Google Music
aLogcat
Added custom hostfile
Issues:
# First boot seems to take a little while but be patient, you also may notice the indicator lights go off, if they do try hitting the power button to "lock" the phone then unlock it to jump start it (similar to how ecksperiaz was)
# Home and force close every so often
Workarounds
# I just noticed if after you flash if you boot back into recovery, fix permissions and reboot again then the default wallpaper will show up and the phantom icons will be gone
# If the super user app still wont work then go to system settings > apps and clear the data and cache on the super user app and try updating again
Annoyances:
# The wallpaper is blank when you first boot, just set your own.
Partially implemented:
# V6 and ram tweaks partially implemented
# SRS Panel in but not working 100% just use dsp manager for now
# Theme not hard coded just yet.
# Some elements aren't fully themed since I had to do some regression testing to fix the issues and will be reintroduced soon.
Version 1.8 Changes
# Updated to latest cm9
# Superuser functions normally
# No more phantom icons
Next Release:
# Add a few more wallpapers that I like
# Try to incorperate the lg lock screen
# fix fc on home
