You know the drill, so here's the warning...
You're flashing this at your own risk and I'm not responsible.
Instructions:
1. (optional) Backup apps, call logs, and messages with Titanium
* Do not skip any of these next steps *
2. Boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache
5. Advanced - Wipe dalvik cache
6. Install zip from SD
7. First boot takes a couple minutes (don't panic) this is normal on first boot to rebuild dalvik cache.
--------------------------------------------
8. (optional) Once the rom is installed you can restore apps, call log, and messages.
9. Do not restore system settings... Settings from old rom to new rom can cause bugs.

Any overclock kernel will cause battery to drain faster and for the phone to get warmer since more voltage is required to overclock.
Don't know... I'm not having any issues and I'm clocked at 1.5ghz.But why does it do it when I have it a. 1.GHz well around that

Been using Samurai since the day I made it lol.Hey GT, what's going on? Since this thread is the Katana I have to ask you, which ROM are you using at the moment?
Been using Samurai since the day I made it lol.

GT ..I'm very tempted to install the Samurai Rom. I love Katana and also liked Icy Spirit..you do great work. I have yet to be able to view video online (Using Firefox). Is there a way to see online movies?Been using Samurai since the day I made it lol.

Thanks again for all you do...Tom

This phone doesn't come with flash installed when you buy it. You would need to install flash and a browser that supports flash to watch videos in your browser. I don't use firefox on my phone or watch videos in the browser so hopefully someone will have some suggestions for you.
Here's the thread where you can possibly get flash from...
Sticky: New Flash Player
I use Dolphin. I think they have 3 versions. I use this one...GT, Thanks for the reply . Installed Flash and at first glance seems to work. What browser do you use? I tried dolphin awhile back but still use FF because I'm familiar with it.
Thanks again..........Tom
I thought theme chooser was an app only CM/MUIU roms could use.
Not possibleYes I think they are well they are for any cm based rom but I was wondering how hard it would be for it to be ported over to a semi lg ui rom
