Hello all! Here it is GingerSteem Rom!!! It has been fully cleaned out to decrease size and to increase speed. It will continue to be a work in progress! I hope you all enjoy!!!

What is this?
This is a very lightweight rom built both for speed and stability. This rom is based off of the LG's ZVB update to Gingerbread. It is fully deodexed, and debloated. Almost all of LG has been replaced and as time goes by, I hope to remove the rest. Swype has also been changed to the 3.26 Beta. A few items have been replaced with AOSP versions to increase speed and decrease size. Also included is the appwidgetpicker to clean that up.

Special Thanks!!!
PlayfulGod for all the work we have gotten done together! It is nice having someone to bounce ideas with and work through the details!
All of the testers that have stuck by PG and myself through bricked devices and many, many hours of time, that they could have spent elsewhere so that you all could see just the fruits of the labor

Here are a few from my phone. I have customised it some so this is not what this ROM out of box looks like. Any ways here goes...

Everything is great. The only issue im having is with the Swype keyboard..when I try to longin to gmail it doesn't work correctly.

Here is the problem I am having.

1. Opening market for the first it wants you to sign in or create a gmail.
2. I have one, I am signing in with my gmail user Id...and when I press the @ symbol it changes the letters something else..which is preventing me logging in. I will reinstall the ROM and try again.

Anyone else having this issue?
