You can get 2.3.4 by following the instructions in the first post. The Market will still work as normal

All the differences between the versions are in the changelog in the first post. Most of the updates are bugfixes and such. Check out the changelog

It still does, but what happens is that it installs system.img but not boot.img, so you can install it through recovery but after you've done that you'll still have the old boot.img so boot into fastboot then erase boot and flash the new one
It's not working: by keeping pressed vol down while powering the phone I enter 'Download Mode' (is that Emergency Mode too?) yes. After that I connect the phone via USB to my computer but the phone does not appear as a new drive. Installing the drivers causes the phone to be recognized sometimes, but the installation ends with a message stating that an error has occurred and the device might not work properly. Sometimes it only says 'LG Android USB Modem correctly installed'.
Either case, if I then execute KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, using CS_Emergency phonemode and 3GQCT type, it ends with a 'Phone not found!' error message.

Are you running Win7? Try disabling the usb modem in device manager and try again.

If I made a new thread for every update, there would be way too many threads on here. This is why I made the site and RSS feed, to keep everyone updated
Nope, XP. And weirdly enough, the USB driver doesn't even appear now. I will try reinstalling the drivers one more time.
[edit] No dice.
Guys i am having a problem. Sometimes (more often than not...) when i am in an app and hit the home key the launcher app crashes or at least rerdraws the widgets and the phone is unresponsive for a few seconds. This is extremely annoying and i didnt have this problem with 1.4b. I ve tried the Go launcher that comes with the mod and also zeam launcher. It doesnt seem to make any difference. Also it seems like the home selector doesnt work. It changes the homescreen app but after i hit the home key it reverts to the one i have set to default. Any ideas ? (yes i checked the system persistent checkbox in the Go settings)

Hey kosta,
Which version of swiftdroid are you using?i used to have the exact same problem when i was using v2M3. Currently i'm using m4and everything is fine. Try going into settings,cyanogenmod settings,perfomance and check the "keep home in memory" box and see if that helps. I haven't tried m5 yet
You can also use swapper for root(download from market).It can be really helpfull with low ram issues

Those were the first I tried. Although the screen refreshed after executing the .INF file, I never got a DLLRegisterServer or "blabla.dll was registered correctly" dialog box, so I assume it never worked. The Win7 ones, curiously, did, at least when updating to official
