I did a wipe except for the data. Soon as it booted up all the programs fc I couldn't even make it to the home or lock screen just a black screen. I had to do a full wipe and a reset then it worked.
 
This rom is sick. I really like the way it looks but I think some things didn't come out the way they were supposed to on my phone? While the phone, camera, contacts, and messaging apps have the ICS looking icons, my 'Applications' icon on my home screen is like the regular LG icon from stock Gingerbread. Also, my lock screen switches between showing up like ICS style and the slide up to unlock one from Gingerbread. Besides those two things, everything else works great. Great work and thanks!
 
Unfortunately my phone went into boot loop marathon when I booted this ROM. It hasn't done that in a while, so I let it sit there booting up for about 30 minutes until it drained my battery dry.

Perhaps a bad download? I've did the three wipes. Pretty weird.
 
I had some issues where it would keep booting to recovery even when I tried to load the stock from again after several wipes. What fixed it for me was loading black plague for some reason. Now I'm using gingercream, and I would suggest another go at it, since its pretty sweet. Thanks PG for the solid from!

The difference is my phone doesn't boot loop into recovery.

It goes through the boot animation and in the process it reboots to the lg screen and then the eclipse boot animation again, and so forth. So in short, I've never seen my phone go past the boot animation, much less the lock screen lol.

I'm back at stock, Im just tired of rebooting with all the other ROMs. I'll let everyone else develop first, then I'll be back I guess.
 
Rom is mint, wicked ****ing smooth and havn't had a boot since I installed it like 3 days ago, my battery issues seem to be a little better too which is awesome..

Will this keep being upgraded or is this a final build?

Any way to change icons? Ive tried RTBpro and thats not working..

Is there any way to turn it into dubstep?

Guess all that aside thanks for the rom phill, really working out for me..
 
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but when the battery is below 25% I can't open any messaging app, so I can't text or receive anything, anyone else?
 
Super boot loop here too, a hour or so after flashing it, weirdest f'ing part, when it finally stopped after 45 minutes or so, it had factory rest the device and every change I had made already was undone. (Really, a factory rest, by bootloop, wtf)

But I have had zero issues since. I did have to slow it down to 1728 from 1838 or whatever on the overclocking. But on first boot it was so fast I could not keep up with it!

Files are mirrored on my website, including an EvenLess version if someone is interested in my house cleaning version.
The links are everywhere, even Google search brings them up pretty quick...

Will take you to the files, there is also a post, if you prefer. I just don't feel like looking url up right now.

I've been busy working on a new youtube channel, but I need to learn/practice some video editing before I can put anything up. I've been messing around with "av Linux" it has everything I need, I made a persistent usb stick for it, but I'm having issues adding the PAE kernel to it. Wrong topic, wrong forum...
"eewta" also on Twitter :p

yep i just flashed it,... 100 force closes... formated everything but data.. errrr... i guess... lets do it.. i really dont wanna start over again...

forgot to wipe cache and davlik before flash, and got bootloop hard.. rebooted and formated all, reflashed... win...
 
I did a total wipe of cache, Dalvik, even a factory reset before flashing. My EvenLess version I used for about 30 minutes, was so fast I thought someone slipped me some speed! Downloaded Rom toolbox, checked the CPU settings, then flashed my personal custom version (I place all my apps in the system and data folders so I don't have to manually install anything) over top, without wiping. That is when all the boot loops happened.

Can you give some inductions on how to create a "personal" ROM, in a simple language? I too would like to do that. Thanks in advance.
 
I place the .apk files in either /data/app or in system/app in the Rom before flashing it. Some apps will not work correctly if placed in system/app, some will not work at all.I don't have a list, but trial and error.

Although I use a significantly smaller number of apps than I used to (having a tablet will do that to a phone...), yyyyy saves a lot of time, and allows me to flash a Rom while in a car headed down the highway and have all my apps there when the flash is done, even if they are not configured. Sort of a way around corrupt backups and only being able to restore a few apps at a time to prevent issues.

I also use it to keep the app version updated so I don't have a bunch of updates after flashing. If you are interested, my EvenLess versions of the roms for the spectrum make a great base to add your apps, as I remove a lot of things that are not necessary.

I can't provide my personal builds as I use a significant number of paid apps. Before I moved a lot of things to my tablet the Rom .zips could get up to 800-950MB in size, building from an EvenLess .zip of around 170MB... now I am between 400 and 500MB
 
I really like this ROM but I have an issue with the bluetooth media sync in the car it plays for 10 sec stops then plays for 10 sec or so. I have not had this issue with the stock
