Still looping. Hard to say how far cause it alternates between blackscreen and the lg screen.

Yeah it's amazing how mt did it without the device every time I think about it. Oh well no sweat man take your time I'm about to turn in. Good night.

BOO YA!!! it wrkd, it takes sumtime to boot the 1st time but it does wrk
OMG YESSS!!!! i cant believe it haha, i had so much trouble the first time i tried making a kernel for this device :D Honestly thank pg for that one 100%, if he didn't show me how to compile a kernel from source than it would have been a fail from the start LOL, so does it say LD-ZVA_Speed in 'about-phone'?

What does the kernal do? Should I flash it too?
as of right now not much lol, it's stock with root added, busybox run-parts, minfree tweak and the basic default debbuging on etc.., im still learning kernel tweaks but as of now it should be very stable and very use-able, just doesn't OC yet..

i have 1 more test for rom (performance wise) before i start the theming end of it :D any takers??

it's the whole rom with some system edits and the speed kernel :D just want to know if:
a- it boots?
b- if its fast?
c- if its smooth? :D

uploading now...
