I present to you Thrill Seeker 2 Gingerbread v20p.
I took a little bit different approach than I did with the original Thrill Seeker rom. I felt that LG did a very good job with gingerbread and so I built this rom around the LG software on the phone (just rethemed) rather than using 3rd party apps. Battery life has been amazing for me and the phone really flies.

Prerequisites
This is based on the ATT V20p firmware. So you will NEED to upgrade to that first or this wont work.

Starting with next update I will make update packages available along with full rom downloads. This will make for much smaller packages to flash when updating from one version to the next. I lost a lot of my work when updating my system so keeping track of all the changes between 2.0 and 2.1 was impossible.

Also, Im adding in another download link (dev-host) for those that cant access 4shared (its uploading as im typing this). If anybody still cant download from either of those sites let me know.

Heres a quick changelog to get things rolling:

2.1:
Added in Tekunas OC Modules (Original Thread)

Added working wifi tether app (no client needed. Just turn on and connect)

Ability to Enable 2g only and choose network mode in Network Settings.

Added percent to battery icon (need to fix the charging icons)

Fixed 3d button taking pics in camera (this may have had side affects though. I think it messed with some other defaults)

Minor theme updates (lockscreen widgets are NOT permanent. Forgot to fix them before i started uploading)

Reverted to Gingerbread music player. This fixed widget issues.

Enabled force of gpu rendering.

Probably some more stuff I forgot to mention...

2.0:
Fully De-odexed.

Rom is Rooted with latest SU installed.

Completely rethemed every aspect of the rom. Gave a very ICS vibe.

Made a few tweaks for performance, useability, and battery savings (however modest). Still waiting on LG to release kernel source code.

Removed all the ATT bloat (except contacts sync. that has to stay)

Added in a File Manager, Titanium Backup, and DSP Manager (equalizer)

Roboto Font

Update to latest Flash Player and Google Apps.

ICS Music Player (feedback on this one. Not sure I like it better than GB version)

Removed apps like Facebook, Twitter, etc because they get updated frequently in the market and it didnt make sense to have them in your /system folder as well as you /data folder.

Still have more to come but I wanted to get this little bit out to you guys since there was a lack of options at the moment. Ill roll out minor releases as I add/fix things.

Issues:
2.1: 4G possibly not working due to flex.xml change.

Battery charge icons distorted.

2.0I havent found any functionality bugs as of yet but please dont hesitate to point them out. There a few theming inconsistencies ive noticed, so please point these out as well. I want this rom to look as good as it performs.

Also, if there are features you want please suggest them. Doesnt mean they'll get implemented, but it helps if I know what you guys want. Ill try to include what I think fits with the rom.


Installation:
This rom is flashable via CWM recovery.

On first install I recommend a full data wipe. At the very least please wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (advanced menu of recovery) before flashing. If you dont follow this step then please DO NOT POST ANY BUGS. Reflash with the wipes first. If the file wont flash please verify the md5 sum with the one listed below the download link. (There are many programs to do this on your computer and phone)

Just installed this at work. Seems pretty good so far. No qualms as of yet.

2 things I would change; get rid of the music controls on the notification menu. The icons you use are already bigger than normal. Larger icons + music controller is just too much (can't get rid of it).

How the flip do i change my home page in the browser? I tried to "set home page" as well as manually typing it in. If my browser goes to that damn yahoo site again I'm going to have to install firefox (which i dont like on my phone)

Kudos so far

Only works on 20p based base bands. Art changed some stuff with the kernel and base and. Only flash this or any other 20p based roms if you have already upgraded to official att 20p

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Thanks for the heads up!


For the people asking, you have to be on V20p. So just follow the kde methods to flash to V20p. But its worth it. V20p is extremely stable and battery life is better than any euro bb I tried. (And thats just stock). Plus all Thrill rom's from this point on will most likely be built on V20p.

The icons dont take up any more space than the old ones. They just appear to because the images are larger with no background. You can close the music control by clicking the 'x'. I will however put a divider line between the two. It looks like one massive section right now. I think a divider would clean it up.

As for the browser lol I have no idea. Its the stock browser and I kept it on the rom but I don't use it. I use Firefox as well.

Will the ice cream sandwich theme from the o3d forum work with this ROM?

Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Probably not. The frameworks are most likely different. But then again this rom is already ICS themed.

Pm me the link to the theme and ill look at it though. If you flash the theme and it doesn't work just reflash the rom. No wiping.

    launch time

    Here is the first installment of the new thrillseeker. I will start a new thread when I have the chance with a change log...in a nutshell I removed dsp manager added Beats & Xloud Audio Mods. also added Bravia Engine and a bunch of build prop tweaks and scripts from Prometheus Rom. A Huge thanks to Samno for that stuff and for sharing such a great rom and kernel with us. :thumbup: I highly recommend flashing his prometheus 1.4.5.1 kernel after install as you can overclock and none of the scripts work unless you do. So without further ramblings.

    Thrillseeker 3.0 beta

    i dont use bluetooth so someone please confirm that it works for me.
    also i will try to upload a non at&t version soon.

    Well. I like the rom. Havering some serious data bandwidth issues. Keen monitoring it an I drive around Dallas to Fort Worth all day. I'm always in a 3g or 4g network. Phone drops data connection every tower chafe for 3 seconds. Drives me nuts.

    I used Doomed Froyo before the upgrade. Guess I got used to the oc clock and solid build. Kinda ruined it for expectations lol

    i had convinced urabewe to make another gb 20p based rom since everyone loved his doomed froyo so much... last i heard he had started it. but that was awhile ago... i will see what hes been doin...
