Hi, My name is Jacob Macek and I am a LG Vortex hacker. I am starting a new rom series for the LG Vortex as well as flashable themes "Maceks Mod ROM" and "Maceks Mod Themes". I am going to start from froyo and work my way up to ics, so far the froyo rom is still in the beta phase. The only version currently available to the public is "Maceks Mod ROM froyo V_2.0 (iPhonie).zip".

This is great and all but I have a couple concerns... Is ilauncher the lite version? cause both ilauncher and setcpu are paid apps. Which you really shouldn't be distributing in this rom. its kinda not on the up and up. Also is that your kernel or getitnowmarketing?
Plus shouldn't this be under "all things root"? given that it's a rom.

would you please upload to dropbox or someone else dl and upload to drop box? for some reason mediafire refused tl load on my phone. it stays as a blank page. of course if someone can fix that'd be great

OhSeven · May 21, 2012

What difference is there between this rom and breakneck v2 (aside from apps we can install from the market)? Do you plan on doing any more with this rom since it's froyo and you intend to port other more recent roms anyway?

Change user agent to desktop. Or actually use a desktop. Mediafire no longer works on mobile.

okay i have the ROM installed FINALLY macek. My only problem is that Verizon seemed to have sent me an update for no apparent reason. It said it would take 11 minutes to dl. I canceled concerned about bricking from root or the custom ROM. Could you tell me if it would be safe to choose system<update or whatever? finally do we flash GAPS? or is that included already?

EDIT: Figured out no gaps required, but how did you get your HTC Sense on LG Vortex? thatd be cool to have

it is the paid version of i Launcher and set cpu wont work "out of the box" on this rom, i am vurrently working on V_3.5 and instead of set cpu i will be using no frills cpu (because its free) and i will include blackmart alpha so users can download the paid apps free. Yes, the kernel is ginm (i know, im not too thrilled about it either) its just temporary untill i can port a cyanogenmod kernel or get a kernel from an optimus variant. This is my first thread so i didnt really know where to put it and I saw some of your posts in the cm7 thread and im sure you know how big of a mess it is so im going to use it as a base and port the fully functioning version to it from the optimus v so it can be easilly installed.

just ignore the initial update and you'll be good

i plan on more mods and hack w/the rom but im not too concerned w/the froyo rom because i really want to get cm7 and 9 up

And what exactly was it you "hacked"? Sorry to give you a hard time, but I'm inclined to think you followed instructions online on how to change a thing or two and you're trying to pass this off as a unique contribution without giving credit to those that provided you information. Maybe you should say what sources you started with and what changes you made yourself.

this rom was a beta version that i didnt plan on releasing but i wanted some feedback on it, im going to site all of the sources in the next build

jacobmacek · May 22, 2012
