[CM7][ROM][DISCONTINUED] Alien Revolution v2.1 FINAL - Better Battery & Smoother UI

vTX4p.png
Alien Revolution is a ROM based on a KANG BUILD of CM7 (CyanogenMod 7) by temasek.
The ROM aims to give your LG 2X a longer battery life and smoother UI.
All credit goes to TeamDouche, Ricardo Cerqueira for CM ROM, temasek for his KANG, vadonka for his CM7 KANG kernel, dr4go for his swap script, members in XDA for their tweaks and all other DEVs contributed in this ROM.
I appreciate if you can provide valuable comments and suggestions for Alien Revolution .

As CM9 alpha build is released , I am preparing to modify and tweak the CM9 KANG, the update interval of this Alien Revolution will be much longer. If you want to test the CM9 alpha build by RC and some tweaks & MOD by me, please do not hesitate to PM me.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How to enjoy the CM7 themes?
- Go to Theme Chooser, Apply the theme you like.

2. Can I flash other Kernels?
- You can flash CM7 Kernels ONLY. Do not try to flash LG Stock kernel on Alien Revolution.
- However, the kernels may include other tweaks that may overwrite my tweaks & optimizations so
you may need to delete the tweaks in the flashable zip of the kernel before flashing.

3. Do I need to wipe Data when upgrading to the latest version?
- No need. You just need to wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache.

4. Will you update your ROM when temasek releases a new KANG?
- Yes. I will do a full rebuild when he releases a new KANG.

Please look at FEATURES section.
Those are the differences between my ROM and temasek‘s KANG

Thank you very much for your rom my friend. I am facing 2 problems.
1. The gapps are invisible although I flashed them
2. Where is the home screen? I just see a black screen and on the upper right just an arrow
Thank you for your answer to my stupid questions (I believe)!

Thank you for your answer to my stupid questions (I believe)!
1. Have you tried to flash again ?
2. Which launcher are you using ?

EDIT: 2. You haven't created any tiles so there will be just one arrow.

twice in a day could be ok :p

i'm on the train now but if a full wipe coming from teamsek kang will not be necessary i will test this rom very soon

A full wipe is not required if you come from temasek‘s Kang.
You may delete some unnecessary apps yourself
