ok time for answeres:
1.No you cannot OC the kernel provided with rom (just flash mt or pg after rom)
2.Launcher, i chose LP because i did some google-ing and LP had the best results for battery, also its very simple, easy to use & nood friendly terminoligy lol
if wanted, i can make flashable zip to properly remove LP and install a desired Launcher
3.i can make a #2 theme for ld-lg eventually
4.ldk theme.. i will make one for this eventually, till then you can use the broken out version on this rom, just will say broken out on lockscreen
5.icons= yeah i themed all the stock apps.. but wasn't sure if i wanted to keep them lol so maybe ill make a flashable zip to replace them.. with stock/colored icons
6.i also themed the launcher icons so you wont get the stock ones unless you un-install then re-install it from market
hope that answeres everything for now
