DO NOT RESTORE ANY DATA OR APPS FROM OTHER ROMS
It will cause random applications to FC

How to add removed apk's:

➯ Download this: RemovedApps.zip

A lot of apps were removed in the rom, if its not in the above zip its either worthless, broke during the deodex or can be installed with the Market.

You can either use adb, a root explorer or flash them through CWM by doing this:

➯ Download this: ApkInstaller.zip
➯ Open it using 7zip
➯ Drag and drop the apk's you need to the system/app folder in the zip
➯ Put ApkInstaller.zip on your sdcard
➯ Boot into CWM and flash it
➯ Thats it

This being my first smartphone. I am new to ROM's and what not.. So I do not man to sound disrespectful, I am just curious. What are the differences between the CTMod, CM7, and MB? Again just curious.. Trying to decide if I should switch..

flash it and find out bro, if you don't like it all you gotta do is restore to a backup.

This is awesome! Flashing right now. Also Blood, not to change subjects on your thread,where can i get the .config for the kernel?its driving me insane!

If you download the LG 855 kernel source code, the configuration is actually this file:
kernel/arch/arm/configs/sniper_lab3_emmc_defconfig

Before you build the kernel, you have to set up the configuration using this command:

make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- sniper_lab3_emmc_defconfig

After you do that, you will see kernel/.config

Of course, this assumes you have set up the cross compiler development.

I love this rom! It is super slick and the install and first boot were MAYBE five minutes together. However, I am not getting 3G. WiFi and voice work though.... Any ideas?

I am on sprint with hyper kernel. I flashed the rom then the kernel all without restarting. Would that matter?

I believe you had to reboot in between flashes

I installed rom and kernal back to back before reboot and had no 3G.

Reinstalled rom, rebooted, wiped cache, installed kernel, and had 3G.

I tried 1.3Ghz kernal and it was screaming but after a bit it started getting jerky so I installed 1.2Ghz hyper modded kernel and it rocks!!!

I have only noticed a few quirks so far:
1) WiFi icon only shows when connected and not when turned on.
2) GPS icon doesn't show at all.
3) Bluetooth icon changes appearance but not color when connected ie: stays white (not sure if that's a CT thing or not).
4) WiFi icon & signal icon strengths don't light up and are dark grey.

Other than that the performance seems really zippy so far :)
Nice work bud, you rock!!!
