    This is a very popular ROM from the LG Optimus V ported to our device by sammyzand 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! http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...wip-backside-rom-cm7-green-machine-theme.html

    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:

    • Thanks to sammyz for porting this. And seriously, though.. I give all credit to him. He came up with the idea to port this, so thank him.
    • Also thank you to PlayfulGod for his MMS fix which I used in this ROM.
    What's working?

    Everything, Enjoy! :)

    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 disable ICS animations
    • Awesome bootanimation.
    • Very smooth.
    • Everything else CyanogenMod has to offer!
    Cons:

    • Personal preferences, I guess..
