Root [ROM]{MS840} Number_Two v1.8 ~ ZVA

Just by the way, the delooper is intended to be used when you're in a CWM bootloop, when your phone keeps booting into CWM. All it does is basically remove CWM. If you flashed the delooper in an actual boot loop, not a CWM bootloop, then there'd be no way to accces CWM, leaving you with the LG Update Tool as the only way to fix your phone.

Yeah, sometimes when I'm thinking too hard my chemo fog really kicks in overdrive. That's why I said I was going to leave it alone for awhile. About 20 minutes later it dawned on me and I just shook my head and said, real smooth dingdong.

I know sometimes a ROM has to "settle in", I've always said that. Right now I'm one of those I always wonder about...those who have major problems no one else does lol. I also can't boot into recovery. ROM Manager tells me I have the latest version and it's still on my sdcard. If I try though it sends me into a reboot. Which always takes 7-8 minutes to complete. Once it's done, everything is fine lol. I like the feel and look of things so far. Granted, I haven't messed with it a lot today, I'm in the middle of a good book. However, it's time for me to get this straightened out. I was joking ( i do realize that i mostly just crack myself up) when I said that about the corpses but I actually did haven 10. I had wiped my caches, I didn't wipe data and I normally never have that many. *shrug*

I will get it figured out one way or the other and let y'all know.

Oh, I never overclock anymore anyway. I did when we were first able to. Like a shiny new toy...you soon grow bored with lol. I don't have any reason actually and I don't have reboots like before since I don't OC anymore.

Yeah. But let me tell you ICS got nothing on rom number two. In fact I have my phone set up exactly like rom number two lol.

Yeah one of the main reasons I like ICS so much was the smoothness factor, but #2 seems to be just as smooth as ICS but uses less resources.

Also the biggest issue I had with the Connect was horrible battery life, #2 seems to have the best battery life out of all the other roms available for our phone.

I'm looking forward to ICS on our phone, but if it doesn't happen at least I know I have a solid rom I can always fall back on.

Went over to the esteem forums to look at those screenshots.

That theme looks rather nice, if it isn't too much trouble to port over I would say do it.

Running v1.3 because I didn't notice any problem with my messaging and I like the colors, but I have to ask because it's also the same in the theme, where's the button in messaging to attach a picture? In the stck it's right below the send button, but it seems to be removed, and the only way I can send a pic now is to do it through gallery

If you're using the stock messenger..it should be in the top right corner

Hey ldrifta i dont know about everyone else but when you do port the theme. I rather have the lockscreen say "Rom Number 2" than "ld-ick"
i can do it for a personal version.. but cant release it like that, will cause much confusion and possible mass mayhem lol, some 'users' that dont actually read through everything will end up creating an account just to complain about why the names are different yadda yadda you know how it goes ;)

OR... You can update to v1.4 and then flash (THIS) to add some darkness to your texts :D credit goes to ldrifta of course, I just kept the .zip and I'll keep it posted until the next update has it included. The phone will take ALONG TIME to boot but dnt freak out lol!!

How about the stock lock screen, can the "metropcs" banner be removed?

Ahh i see what you mean. People will start asking the difference between the 2 and stuff. Don't even worry about, it's really not that big of a deal. Actually it's very minor. :p

yes... yes it can lol... it can also just say nothing on provided lockscreen.. the text you guys see on both lockscreen is controlled by 2 seperate text/xml files found in the system/framework/framework-res.apk so you are all more than welcome to customize it to your personal liking for your personal use ;) just if you choose to share something, be sure to give credit where needed
