    Hey, Everyone!
    This is a very popular ROM from the LG Optimus V ported to your device by me

    I am not a developer! I simply took a few files, switched them around, and posted it. Don't thank me, thank JerryScript in the original thread! [ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme - Android Forums

    You do NOT need to flash the MMS fix on this.

    IMPORTANT: This has the potential to brick your device if you don't know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, don't attempt it. If you do happen to brick your device, there is probably a way to fix it, so feel free to ask the talented people on this forum if you need help and they'll be glad to help you.

    Thanks:

    • Thank you to PlayfulGod for his MMS fix which I used in this ROM.
      [*]Another Thanks to BobZhome for making a CM7 I can port off of.
    What's working?
    Not everything has been confirmed as of yet, and because this is in beta there is no way to assure that everything is working fine, but as far as we know and have been able to test, everything should work fine! :)

    Pros:

    • ICS transition and rotation animations
    • More frequent CyanogenMod syncs.
    • THEMES!!
    • Easter Eggs! (See if you can find them all.)
    • Fully synced with the newest version of CyanogenMod 7.2
    • Ability to change bootanimations in CyanogenMod settings
    • Ability to refresh the status bar so you don't have to reboot for status bar changes to take effect.
    • Ability to disable ICS animations
    • Awesome bootanimation.
    • Very smooth.
    • Everything else CyanogenMod has to offer!
    Cons:

    • Personal preferences, I guess..

    I cant send pictures any help. also i cant usb toggle my phone
    As far as the USB mass storage toogle: Go to settings/applications/development. If the USB debugging box is unchecked, check it. Then, as fast as you can, uncheck and recheck the box.
    I really don't know the science of how this works, but it works every time for me. When you plug in to the PC pull the drop down and select "select for file transfer". Follow the prompts.
