Root [ROM][SAP] BACKside CM7.2 [PORT]

sammyz

LG Whiz Kid
This is a very popular ROM from the LG Optimus V ported to our device by sammyzand me.

I am not a developer! I simply took a few files, switched them around, and posted it. Don't thank me, thank JerryScript in the original thread! http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...wip-backside-rom-cm7-green-machine-theme.html

You do not need to flash the MMS fix on this.

IMPORTANT: This has the potential to brick your device if you don't know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, don't attempt it. If you do happen to brick your device, there is probably a way to fix it, so feel free to ask the talented people on this forum if you need help and they'll be glad to help you.

Thanks:

  • Thanks to sammyz for porting this. And seriously, though.. I give all credit to him. He came up with the idea to port this, so thank him.
  • Also thank you to PlayfulGod for his MMS fix which I used in this ROM.
What's working?

Everything, Enjoy! :)

Pros:

  • ICS transition and rotation animations
  • More frequent CyanogenMod syncs.
  • THEMES!!
  • Easter Eggs! (See if you can find them all.)
  • Fully synced with the newest version of CyanogenMod 7.2
  • Ability to change bootanimations in CyanogenMod settings
  • Ability to refresh the status bar so you don't have to reboot for status bar changes to take effect.
  • Ability to disable ICS animations
  • Awesome bootanimation.
  • Very smooth.
  • Everything else CyanogenMod has to offer!
Cons:

  • Personal preferences, I guess..

I just tried this tonight. I made sure I downloaded the 2nd version, and I was getting an error when I tried to activate wifi. I flashed it twice, and made sure that I wiped everything each time. Both times I got the wifi error.
 
Alright, everybody. Just updated it to version 0.2. This fixes the Wi-Fi issue and the camera issue. MMS fix still works out of the box. Post if you run into any problems or you have some improvements. :)

Downloading now. I'll flash this evening and try it out. Hopefully it'll work.
 
Thanks not sure when I will have time to check it out may be a day or 2.
will this rom support dark tremor A2SD?

Not sure, I just tried a2sdgui app and it comes up with an error, you're probably going to have to flash that script seperately....
