After asking around, I determined there was some interest in a simple, mostly-stock ROM based on the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release with only essential changes made; so I decided to go ahead and create one.
ROM Details:
Based entirely off the off the the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release (pulled from signed RUU); which is being rolled out by Verizon via OTA as the final build.
Moved some stock applications to /data/app, so they can easily be removed. To be clear, these apps remain enabled but can now be optionally removed using any Android uninstaller, rather than having to do it manually. This includes: App Sharing, Adobe Flashplayer, Car Panel, Flashlight, GenieWidget, PDFViewer, Quickoffice, Teeter, My Verizon, 3G Hotspot and YouTube.
All apps placed in /data/app by the ROM will be automatically restored after a date wipe or factory reset (a special feature of this ROM). These apps can be freely uninstalled via Settings->Applications or the uninstaller of your choice. Note: They will return when the ROM is re-installed or upgraded.
Disabled applications which the majority seems to agree are bloat, unneeded or can installed from the Market. This includes: Amazon MP3, City ID, HTC Footprints/Widget, VZ Navigator, Skype. If you decide you would like to use any of these apps, the APKs are available in the "system/virtuous" directory.
Numerous customization options via ROM Manager, such as Virtuous' EZ-Customizer which allows removal of more stock apps without the use of adb or shell, status bar mods provided by pmf, Incredible Revolution theme and more.
Automatic Virtuous OTA upgrade notification and installation via ROM Manager.
Minor theme modifications to remove GPS locator icon in the status bar and add transparency to the notification pull down menu. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom (aka pmf) and aiccucs for doing the work.
Added the Busybox installer application to allow upgrades as they become available. When running the installer, make sure to select /system/xbin as the destination.
Updated Adobe Flash to the official release provided to N1 users via the Market.
Updated Google Search and Google Voice Search to the latest Market versions.
Updated Gmail 2.2.1. The default ROM includes 2.2, so this is a minor upgrade to the latest version available.
Audio fixes to correct slow playback ("devil voices") of Flash videos on certain sites.
Removed startup "Drooooooid" sound. It was annoying.
Added the bash shell for those who work in adb or ssh into their phones. Just run "bash" to use it (it is not the default shell for compatibility reasons).
Removed cdrom.iso to avoid being prompted to install Verzion/HTC hardware when the device is connected via USB.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Wipes are NOT required for any upgrade to/from any 2.x version of the ROM; downgrades are a different story.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
Expect the first boot to take anywhere from 6-10 minutes. Subsequent reboots should be significantly quicker.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Download ROM Here
(Changelog)
Hboot Upgrade Instructions
As of Virtuous 3.2.0, hboot 0.92 is now required. This hboot shipped with the original Froyo OTA for the Incredible.
Download this file and place it at root of your sdcard.
Boot into the bootloader. There are several ways to do this. If you are already booted into Android, use Quickboot and select the Bootloader option. You can also use adb by typing "adb reboot bootloader". Or, simply power down the device. Once it is off, hold the volume down button and then press power.
Once in the bootloader, select the first option from the menu "bootloader". You should see a progress bar on the right side of the screen. If you do not, you did not perform step #1 correctly or your sdcard is not formatted FAT32.
You will then be prompted to confirm flashing boot, bootloader and recovery. Hit volume up to confirm and then reboot.
At this point hboot is upgraded. I recommend reinstalling Virtuous (either via ROM Manager or manually) just to be safe.

Thanks for this rom! I want to install footprints. I've tried with root explorer r/w on and off as well as astro. I've put the files in sytem/app, tried from disabled folder and even the sd card. It always goes through the install process correctley but always ends with
"application not installed". Any suggestions? Thanks

Thank you very much for this rom!
This looks great. I'm mildly sure this is sort of what jdkeclipse was trying to accomplish. This is how the OP is done well and done right. Thanks rmk40
You should just throw some screenshots in there regardless of the fact that it's a stock rom.

you will probably have to push it through recovery with adb. I have noticed that if I use root explorer to add things to system/app they usually will not work for some reason, and the only way it will is through recovery or if I make a small flashable zip file.
Thank you! The app works but the widget does not?
Rmk, you just released it and a newer leak showed up today. Are you by chance going to mod the new one as well with your touches?
Haha, this awesome. Right after u get done with the work A new leak is released. Regardless this is very much appreciated.

Since that's an HTC app, you'll need to do that via recovery. Boot into recovery, adb shell, mount /system and go ahead and copy/move the files.

I just saw it. Yes, that's definitely the plan.
We need to get it deodexed, figure out which bugs are present in the new leak, etc. As soon as I have something I feel confident works well, I'll go ahead and put it up.

you will need to do the same thing with the footprintswidget apk.
Updated to base on today's 3.21.605.1 OTA.
Got home to a pleasant surprise! Got 2.0 flashed, and got a quadrant score of ~1300. Flashed KiNgxKernel BFS #1 and jumped my quadrant up to ~1600 running at 1113mhz. Also got solid 36s in linpack.
Ty for throwing this together. Was exactly what I was looking for! Even down to the boot animation sound. Gotta figure out how to change the boot animation still... kinda new to this.
Anyway, solid work. Keep us posted if anything new shows up.
Is bump charging still needed or does the phone finally charge properly?

I've decided to make my ClockWidget skins available to all HTC sense users thus making them available here in the Android Themes section since these are not ROM dependent
These only will work on Sense ROMs that have been deodexed.
Before installing anything be sure to backup your current ROM in case you don't like the clock or just want to switch back.
Now that the important stuff is taken care of, here's the clocks:
as far as i can tell, this is the biggest collection of clocks available on XDA for HTC Sense devices, not only are they not monochrome, they are of the highest quality and bring some color to your home screen. I was tired of having the same boring clock so i started making my own, especially after finding not that many clocks i actually liked.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

If your Rooted, you should have ClockMod Recovery installed
move the .zip's you want to install to your sd card's root before proceeding further!
there are 3 ways to get to Recovery: (this is the method for using .zip files to install themes that are set up as an update.zip)
1. ROM Manager - "Reboot into Recovery"
2. ADB command in SDK - "adb reboot recovery"
3. holding down the volume down and power button on the phone, then it will load the H-Boot screen, once there use the volume down button to move to "Recovery" hit the power button to select the option, once there you should see a black screen with green text that shows recovery options you have.
After you make it to recovery, choose:
"Install Zip from SD-Card"
(you can either use the Optical Trackball to select the options or the volume keys (up and down)
to select the option, press the Optical Trackball's button once you highlight the correct option.
Then choose: "Choose zip from sdcard"
it will load all the contents of your SD Card on the screen
again, use the trackball or volume keys to select the file you want to install, once highlighted, hit the trackball button.
As a precaution, the devs that made ClockMod Recovery also implemented a security incase you selected the wrong option, so you will see only one option in the next screen that says "YES" and a ton of "NO"
once selected you should see it install, after its done installing, it will take you back to the main recovery menu, once there, choose "Reboot System Now"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easiest method: ROM Manager
1. Open ROM manager, choose "Install ROM from SD card"
2. Choose the file you want to install (if it gives you an error, its because the file name has spaces in it, to fix this, rename the file so its either "filename_here" instead of "filename here" (**filename here is only an example, do not rename it to this**)
3. Once ROM manager lets you select the file to install, it will load a popup, do NOT check any of these options unless you want to make a backup, do NOT choose WIPE DATA and CACHE, this will format the ROM causing all your saved passwords, settings, apps to be all erased.
4. Click Ok, and the phone will reboot into recovery, auto install that file, then reboot automatically back to the OS.
Note: Some of my files (before i started to use ROM manager) weren't named with this app in mind as an installation method, so file names like "NCX StockSilver Blue" would have to be renamed to NCX_StockSilver_Blue, the simplest method is to replace spaces with _ or -
if this helps anyone, please be sure to give your thanks and don't forget, i gladly accept donations to keep my work moving forward, especially when the Thunderbolt comes out and is rooted.
Awesome. Thx

Can these be used on a 2.2 rom?
Thanks
Man, I am loving the tron blue style as well as many of the other styles. I use a stock HTC Evo. Can these only be used with a rooted Evo? I would love to be able to use these with mine without rooting. If that is so, is there anything out there like this for non rooted phones?
Than you.

To answer your question, the framework on the Droid Incredible and EVO 4G are not compatible with each other as far as mods goes.
But Its not entirely hard to port it over to be used on the EVO 4G, its a matter of when I have the time to do it.

Looks good - to be honest there's a lot of functionality Eden just doesn't provide now that even stock android does - panel view is handy for the few apps it works on, but for now isn't enough of a benefit, especially since widget functionality just isn't there.
I'll give it a whirl on my PiQi Adam when I have a chance (probably towards the end of the week). Has anyone else had success with this rom or feedback regarding it?
E: Nm, followed the link over to nihacks. Thanks again.

We've had a few test it in IRC. It moves away from Eden, so its definitely aimed at people that aren't the biggest fans of it.
THANK YOU!
Finally. I think for the first time I'll actually be able to put my Adam to use. Previously it sat in a sleeve unused. It was so worthless with Eden on it. This will make a huge difference.
Quick question:
Has anyone ever been able to get their GPS to work? Google Maps always says location temporarily unavailable. I'm starting to think I have a defective GPS.
Regardless of what ROM I use, GPS never works. Any ideas? PS: Yes location using GPS is enabled in settings.
Just saw Albert Wertz's video of this rom. Real nice work. I'm due to recieve my Adam next week. Will be a willing tester. Do you think there is any chance cellular phone calling can be activiated on this device? I know it has the Ericson F3307 module for 3g, but do not know if it supports voice.
Thanks for your efforts!!!

I think there have been people wanting this feature, but would be a separate project that would apply to all Adam ROMs. I am unaware if anyone is really persuing it, and I can't because I don't use the cell radio on my tablets.
I do hope to push a new version out maybe tonight or tomorrow with the Eden apps included, but without the Eden launcher. So this would give everyone the benefit of the Adam apps without having to use the panel system.
Awesome.....From what I've seen {Without having the tablet yet} I'm not too excited about the Eden launcher, but some of the apps would be very cool.
A huge thank you!! Do you accept any donations?

someone on notion hacks who is on this rom reported no issues so maybe we need to wipe dalvik or possibly reflash?
or maybe an update since there is starting to be a a fan base building for this rom!
Can I just cleanup the dalvik with titanium backup or will I have to flash to clockwork to do it? First time I flashed clockwork I got stuck in a boot loop so I flashed from the internal with the notion stock recovery to update the rom.

When you got stuck in the boot loop, did you try wiping the cache in ClockworkMod? Wiping the cache from CWM seems to fix the bootloop issue for a number of people with the same issue on CWM (+this ROM).
I ended up reloading the entire adam at that point from the NI image and then used the internal flash to flash the ROM to Utopia. I have determined another problem that might not be caused by the ROM though now. I have a second sdcard showing up now with a bunch of jibberish letters and a lostdir folder. My adams internal storage only shows as having 1.95 gb total. Either my flash card is bad or i didn't get a good clean load of the ROM in the beginning. ( Never checked this before I noticed the HDMI issue.) My fix is going to be a complete reflash of the adam and reflash the entire ROM and a reformated sdcard. I also ordered a new (class 10) external sdcard just in case. Has anyone else ran into a internal flash problem so far? I don't know of a method to test my internal flash so I'm gonna just reflash the entire system back to stock and restart from there.

Yes I remember I had some strange SDcard issues and saw the lost dir in mine as well. It was having issues copying and pasting but this was only on the roms that had sniffer.(for me atleast)
did you end up getting hdmi to work?
I ended up wiping my dalvik cache via the recovery menu and the HDMI out still doesnt display on the screen. It does run a bit faster after an extended reboot though.

The problem you are defining has to do with the vold that is in the ROM and stock eden ROM. EdenX uses an alternative one, but that brings other issues.
If using linux, you will get two partitions mounted. One 2GB one, which is /data, and one 6GB one, which is /sdcard. If this problem occurs, anything you copy to your sdcard will be corrupted.

What we have here is a custom battery indicator for Desire HD ROMs.
It has been designed to look as close to stock as possible but has that extra special little something to make it stand out from the crowd. You'll see that this battery indicator mod is unlike most in that it offers the best of both worlds. It has the both a percentage indicator as well as a nice smooth charging animation. If you have a Desire HD, or a Desire HD based ROM on your device and like that stock look, you can't go wrong with my mod.
NOTE: The first upload, the one that does NOT say "GB.Sense" has only been tested on 1.84 based Desire HD ROMS and I can only guarantee it to work for users using a 1.84 based Desire HD ROM. Because I used the framework-res.apk from the 1.84 ROM, it may not work properly on other builds. If you decide to test it on an older build such as 1.32 or 1.72, please report your results.
NOTE 2: The 2nd file attached, the one that DOES say "GB.Sense", is for GingerSense builds. It has been built using files from the 2.36.405.8 build and only tested on CMYLXGO's Gingersense ROM. Please test and report your results on other builds.
NOTE 3: This is a complete framework-res.apk file. If you have a custom theme installed that includes the framework-res.apk file, this will revert your framework back to stock with only the custom battery indicator.
This includes:
1. Battery percentages from 0-100%
2. Smooth charging animation - looks MUCH nicer when charging.
3. Super simple update.zip that works EVERY SINGLE TIME
4. Does not affect the APN
5. Only shows percentage when NOT charging. When plugged in all you see is smooth charging animation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
1. Reboot your device and hold power key to enter MAGLDR.
2. Enter AD Recovery(option 8?)
3. Install zip from SD card
4. Browse to the zip and install.
5. Reboot back into Android and enjoy.

In the 1.84 builds, HTC changed the way the notification bubbles appeared on the Mail and Messaging apps. They changed it from a green dot with a nice gradient to a black dot with a green ring around it.
This update will change them back to the original style green notification bubbles that actually match the rest of the notification bubbles and color scheme in the ROM.
NOTE: I took the MMS and Mail.apk's from the 1.84 build and therefore this MOD will not work on another build without bugs. To further my point, the older 1.32 and 1.72 builds already have green notification bubbles like depicted below.
NOTE2: This will NOT delete any of your settings/emails/messages when installing the update.
This includes:
1. MMS.apk and Mail.apk from 1.84 Desire HD ROM
2. Modified images to blend in and better match with the rest of the ROM.

As some of you may have noticed, that nifty "Advanced Power Menu" isn't really available as an update.zip for those of us using 1.84.661.1 builds. Well now that's a problem of the past because I present you with a fully functional Advanced Power Menu for builds based on the 1.84.661.1 Desire HD ROM.
NOTE: This will not affect anything on your device other than the menu that appears when you long-press the Red End Call Button.
NOTE2: It might take a long time for your device to boot back up into Android after installing this update. Be patient. It is rebuilding your Dex files and will boot soon.
This includes:
1. Modified android.policy.jar from 1.84.661.1 Desire HD ROM
2. 7 options instead of 3 - See screenshot
3. Hot reboot option when pressing restart from Power Menu
4. All options work perfectly.

I really hope you're kidding but just in case.. I updated the OP. You'll install it via Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I tried both with cmylxgo's 1.1.7 on my TMO HD2 (using clockwork, of course ) and they both caused a reboot loop. I'd love to have battery percentage w/o an extra app.

Have you tried clearing the cache and dalvik cache after installing the mods? Or installing them after flashing the ROM, before booting for the first time?

Hmmm. That didn't occur to me. I'll try and report back. Thanks.
EDIT: Strange indeed! It reboot looped after each of three attempts yesterday. I did it again just now and it worked this time. On a hunch I did it without clearing the caches. I was having root problems when I was installing yesterday, could that have interfered?

It's always possible that a preexisting issue could cause more issues as a chain reaction type deal. See the way I do it is this:
1. Backup my phone 100%
2. Install new ROM(Wipes data and everything else)
3. Install my 2 fixes above immediately after ROM Flash finishes.
4. Using CWM, restore data.
This way I end up with the most recent build, the most recent fixes and never lose anything.
anyway to get this... for people with sd builds?
i just need these !thanks
Cool Mods.. thanks a lot for this.. i will check it out!

I have implemented script, that would allow copying files to system easily, you won't have to know where to copy your file, either in app_r, or app.
How to use:
1) create 'root' folder on your sd card
2) create folder directory structure under it, where files should be copied
Examples:
1) need to modify framework-res in /system/framework, i should:
a) create 'root' folder on sd card
b) create 'system' folder inside 'root'
c) create 'framework' folder inside 'system'
d) put framework-res into 'framework' folder
e) reboot
2) need to put some file to /data, i should:
a) create 'root' folder on sdcard
b) create 'data' folder inside 'root'
c) put needed file there
d) reboot
Please, make sure 'root' folder is removed from sdcard after boot! Remove it manually if it hasn't been removed.

What you need to do is extract the zip files and then copy over the apk files using his root script. CWM will not work for his ROM.

Will try to do it and will report back.
EDIT:
Can easily replace the framework-res.apk by creating a root folder with following structure:
root/system/framework/framework-res.apk
I couldn't find where to put the META-INF Folder though ?????????????????????
I'd appreciate some help please !!!
EDIT 2:
THE CORRECT BATH TO PUT THE framework-res is:
root\sd-ext\sys-parts\framework_r
and no need to copy the META-INF folder any where ... Thank you

What we have here is a custom battery indicator for Desire HD ROMs.
It has been designed to look as close to stock as possible but has that extra special little something to make it stand out from the crowd. You'll see that this battery indicator mod is unlike most in that it offers the best of both worlds. It has the both a percentage indicator as well as a nice smooth charging animation. If you have a Desire HD, or a Desire HD based ROM on your device and like that stock look, you can't go wrong with my mod.
NOTE: This has only been tested on 1.84 based Desire HD ROMS and I can only guarantee it to work for users using a 1.84 based Desire HD ROM. Because I used the framework-res.apk from the 1.84 ROM, it may not work properly on other builds. If you decide to test it on an older build such as 1.32 or 1.72, please report your results.
NOTE 2: This is a complete framework-res.apk file. If you have a custom theme installed that includes the framework-res.apk file, this will revert your framework back to stock with only the custom battery indicator.

Now included in my unity theme, available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12057423
Hey guys, just starting some to theme some system apps for an upcoming project of mine (unityMOD, basically trying to bring some unity, in this case dark blacks, to the OS to match the hardware etc) and I thought some people might like to see my Camera.apk theme.
I always found the weird grey and black speckled background weird, so I changed it to black and changed a few buttons, outlines etc. I think it looks quite nice personally, so I thought I'd just share it

Reboot, and you're done!
Downloads
[CM7]
Camera.apk
CM7Camera.zip
[Stock/Axura/MoDaCo - thanks Master]
CameraGoogle.apk
StockAxuraCameraGoogle.zip
Master™ has made a white version of this, available here
Notes
[CM7 Based ROMs] If you are having troubles actually seeing the changes after successfully applying Camera.apk, make sure you are using the System theme in Theme Chooser.
[General] If you are having issues, check and see if you are using the correct download version. Stock ROMs and Axura use CameraGoogle.apk and CM7 (possibly others?) use Camera.apk. I will try and make this irrelevant in my update.zip, but for now just take note.
I'm using Axura 1.1.2.0 and the camera app just FC's.
Probably because of the ROM.
I'll try tomorrow sometime when I load up CM7 or something.
Looks fantastic, though!
I love simple black on this phone. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the Axura mention, I haven't personally used it, so I don't know what Master has changed for it. Has he themed Camera.apk at all?
Thanks for that though, I also love the blacks on it! I just absolutely hated that grey speckled stuff!
Hope you get to use it soon somehow

I've never tried it personally, but you could test it for me if you want
If that doesn't work though don't worry, I have a copy of stock camera to restore if you need.
I can't see why not though, ill see if it works with root enabled ES in a minute.
Edit: ES doesn't seem to like performing operations from /system even with the root option, so just as a test, copy your current Camera.apk to somewhere safe, then delete the one in /system/app. If it lets you, then you should be right to just move my themed Camera.apk in its place.

use root explorer to install apk
1. get the XXX.apk to sdcard
2. open root explorer
3. find the XXX.apk you are wanting to install
4. long press the XXX.apk file and choose copy options (you will see the paste and cancel boxes at bottom of screen)
5. back out to system/app/XXX.apk and paste file
6. long press XXX.apk and change permissions.
These should be checked: (1)User/read, (2)Group/read, (3)Others/read and (4)User/Write
If you get this WARNING. You cannot paste here because the file is read-only. this is ok. Look to the top of screen and you will see line like this. 124.24 used, 379.70mb free r/o [Mount R/W]. Tap the [Mount R/W] colored box so it shows [Mount R/O]. Now try the the paste and the change permission process. When done reboot.

To keep it simple. Check the permission of another app in the system/app files. The permissions are all the same.

I used root explorer daily when I was flashing nightly builds and this is the way I install boot animations and framework.apk etc. It may be missing one step in the install precess.

I don't flash gapps anymore when on cm rom. I install the themed market, I like this, and go from there. I am confident in the process.

@SubyWill
I use a camera apk that is totally blacked out. I just installed the op's camera apk. It installed. This one and the camera button, picture viewer and video images all have a greyed ring around them.
Can u please make it to where we can flash it?
Hello everyone. I just bought my phone 3 months ago, and i'm little tired of stock rom, because of some lag and bugs it have. So i decided to flash some CM7. Really don't know anything about flashing and rooting. Was reading some threads on this forum, but there's so many information that at the end decided to create my own thread. Hope someone will have a little bit of time and reply it.
My phone info: (it's not rooted, just stock version out of the box)
Model: LG-P990
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725 (what is that?)
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: GRJ22
LGE Version: LGP990-V20a
1. So first of all i would like to make a backup, so if something went wrong i could recovery my phone. Maybe you could suggest some not very difficult tool for that.
2. What should i do next, wipe, root, flash, kernel rewrite? Maybe someone could link me or write how to do it step by step.
3. Which rom and kernel to use? What are difference between them (kernels and roms)? I prefer battery life > bugs > speed > customization.
P.s. I really don't know much about doing what i just wrote, please don't be mad Thank you for your help.
First of all you should root your device, this is generally the first thing to do. I believe I used super one click for this, here is a guide for doing so: http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-2x-p990-tutorial/ also there are some guides here around on xda where you will be able to follow a step by step tutorial for rooting
For easy backup I would recommend Titanium backup. Search for it on the market it will show up there furthermore you should always backup your phone through clockwork mod recovery. Clockwork mod is an app you install after rooting and you access recovery by flashing recovery and then booting into it. It is also from here you will be "flashing" your custom rom of choice
So in a step by step tutorial here's what to do:
1. Rooting
plenty of guides are found on this lg optimus 2x forum with links and guides as for how to root your phone. Afterwards you should check if it was done properly, you can do this with root checker simply download it from the market and check it
2. Downloading your custom rom:
Next step is to download your custom rom and throw it onto your phones SD-card.
You can choose anything you like but I would recommend the build in my sig link is here
now for kernels, you don't really need any :b you will be perfectly fine with whatever you already have here But if you do want to flash a custom kernel aswell it is virtually the same as flashing a custom rom
3. Make a backup of your phones apps and contacts:
Making backups is really easy, just download titanium backup from the market to backup your apps and backup your contacts through the phones built in adress book.
4. Boot your phone into recovery:
This is how it looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First of all, install rom manager this is an app found in the market just search for it and it will be there. Next use the app to flash clockworkmod recovery (yes thats the top button in the app :b). Then when this is done reboot into recovery. When here your phones screen will not be used to navigate, instead use your volume rockers to navigate and the power button to select.
When here you should make a nand-backup of your phone, this is basically a backup of everything on your phone and it can be used to restore your phone should anything go wrong here
This is somewhat like what your recovery would look like:
From here choose "backup/restore" and here choose backup. Now your phone will make a backup
Also before flashin you will have to choose both of the following options:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
5. Flash your rom (and custom kernel):
Now, finally, you will see some improvements :b Still navigating ClockworkMod recovery choose install zip from sd card, then find your rom and choose it. Now the flashing begins and your phone will do this for some time, once done reboot your phone and you're done!
GL and HF, i hope this helped you
1. First you need to root your phone. Rooting your phone won't erase your data. Use this guide to root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
This method works flawlessly and is really easy!
After rooting, you can check if it worked, by looking for the Superuser app in your app drawer, or download the root checker app and check for yourself.
Also, after you rooted your phone, you need to install the following apps: Rom Manager and Titanium Backup. With Titanium Backup, you can backup all your apps and restore them. Consider buying this app, because it's really worth the extra money. Use any SMS/Contacts backup app to backup your contacts. (Don't forget to grant Titanium Backup Superuser access)
Afterwards, you open Rom Manager (again give this app also superuser access) and select the option flash recovery. Clockworkmod recovery mode is just a system which allows you to flash custom roms and kernels. Make sure you flash the O2X recovery and not the G2X, because you have a P990. Clockworkmod Recovery version 5.0.2.0 is good enough. You can enter recovery mode with ROM Manager or reboot into it. When your phone is off, you can boot into recovery manually by holding the power and volume down button until you see the second LG bootscreen with the blueish background.
2. First you need to download the following things and put them on your SD card:
- Any ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or 9)
- Any kernel (Cyanogenmod Kernel for CM7 or CM9)
- Google Apps (for Gingerbread or Ice cream sandwich)
Afterwards, boot into recovery mode. You can navigate through the menus with the volume buttons and the power button. Also I would recommend you to make a backup of your current LG rom in recovery mode. (Backup/Restore - Backup - Yes) Keep this backup if you ever need to return your phone to stock in order to send it to LG.
In recovery mode choose the option:
- wipe data/factory reset
This option won't erase your root, only your current ROM and apps (but you should have made a backup by then)
After this is done, choose the option:
- wipe cache
This option is necessary in order to flash a rom
Then select the following option:
- install zip from sdcard
Browse through your sdcard and first install the rom. After this is done, install another zip and install the Google Apps package. This package includes the Android Market. Afterwards, you could install another zip, which is the kernel, but this is optional. Obviously you need to find the kernel zip and install it.
After installing all this you should be done and you should select reboot system. This will reboot your phone normally into the rom. Note that the first boot in a new rom always takes some time.
3 I would advise the combination in my signature. This combination is very smooth and fast.
Hope this helped!
Gosh this community is so helpful

Nope I don't think so, many people are having the same problem. What you can do is to put your sd-card in a card reader and add files through there. That's what I do anyways :b
EDIT::
Have you checked if you have the correct drivers installed? go check in the device manager and if it says that no drivers are installed (or no correct drivers, anyways) try and install them automatically. This worked for me
Umm, I'm quite new here, so I don't exactly know how it works, but shouldn't this thread (post #3 especially) be "Sticky"?
Cause when I started to root/flash my O2x this all-in-1 post could save me a lot of time.. There is quite everything you need when you know nothing about changing a rom. And if there is something missing, you know what you need to search for, right?

Yes it should, but the truth is, this process is basically the same for every android phone out there, the only difference is the rom you choose really. I'm pretty sure there is an even more detailed guide somewhere out there
Thank you for help everyone, u helped me alot.
I just installed custom kernel/rom.
Rom: temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-85
Kernel: [CM7/MIUI Kernel][KANG][APR02] ETaNa with Spica (c) OTF ToolKit
When i installed all this, i missed Google Play and account sync, so i downloaded some "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and installed with Rom Manager. I don't know why, but google play crashes very very often. Maybe i did something wrong?
And how the hell should i select ringtone from my SDcard? Because when i click Phone Ring tone theres only some main ringtones and no "select from" options.
Oh and the last one, why the hell drawer is so lagy? Because of inscripted ADW? It's very anoying.
Thanks again.

Heh, being kinda under age kinda sucks, but yeah, in fact it seems that there is a 4 day weekend coming up in May, I think I might take the opportunity to spend a day or two there

You've done something wrong when flashing temasek's kang, I get google play immediately, don't need to flash gapps and it doesn't crash, I would do a full wipe and reflash if I were you.
To select ringtones you will have a folder in your sdcard media -> audio -> ringtones. You have to put the desired ringtones in that folder.
My drawer is also laggy. Just put the apps you use in your home screens and don't use it
Hope I helped! Cheers!

Hmmm theres no such a folder called media in my sdcard. And when i create it and move mp3 file to it it doesnt appear in ringtone selection. Do i need to restart my phone when i move ringtones to that folder?
When i was flashing new rom i did that. First i made a recovery, then wiped my phone, then clicked install zip from SD card and clicked my rom file. It said that flashing was successful. Then did the same for kernel. And finally rebooted my phone. Everything went well, phone turned on, no errors .. nothing. I installed latest version of that rom, i linked it before.
It seems google play not crashing anymore, i dont know why, but it works. I didnt do anything. Other problem appeared. When i installed GAPPS, Car Home app was installed. I removed it with Titanium Backup successfully. But sometimes in my bottom bar (where clock, battery and other stuff are), it appears. When i slide that bar down it says click to close Car Home. Its very anoying. I tried to look with root explorer for that app in my phone, no clue. How the hell should i remove it? Because i cant find it anywhere. Thanks
