TG P990 ICS V30A - Stable - Rom and Advanced Kernel
BY TOPOGIGI
FEATURES:
Long story short, this is a follow-up to the excellent work Stefan did with his ICS28G release. I decided to post this rom some days before my original intentions, because Stefan's thread is now closed and there will be no follow-up. Besides that, LG is making us wait until the end of the world before releasing their official update and this will make me work twice at least (now and when the proper kernel sources will be released). That's all.
Feedbacks are welcome.
DISCLAIMER: This ROM comes with NO warranty. If you brick your phone, don't blame me, I'm only experimenting with my phone and sharing the results with you, mates!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
P.S. This rom wipes completely your phone (see changelog for exceptions),Backup all your data before installing this Rom!!!
KNOWN ISSUES:
RECOMMENDED DOWNLOADS/SERVICE PACKS:
Good luck!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP your actual rom and your data before installing anything!!!!!!
- Follow accurately Stefan's instructions in his original thread: this is a rom meant to be installed with nvflash!
- Reboot your device at the end of the process, go to system/xbin with a terminal emulator and type "su" and "v6sc" for checking the V6Supercharger functionalities
- Enjoy your new rom.
P.S. This rom wipes completely your phone (see changelog for exceptions),Backup all your data before installing this Rom!!!
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Overclocking is highly unstable in this rom. I managed to OC my device for a few minutes but it hangs in a while. So, OC is for now enabled only for TESTING PURPOSES! Keep that in mind and do not complain about it until I will manage to make it stabler. (All OC issues are solved flashing SP2: overclock is really stable on my device @ 1.3 Ghz)
RECOMMENDED DOWNLOADS/SERVICE PACKS:
- TG ICS28G SERVICE PACK 2 - download from here: http://depositfiles.com/files/4bza0mnh3
It's a CWM flashable .zip (flash it via recovery) with the following changelog:

- Increased swappiness (65) and zram (80Mb)
- 128 Mb ramhack thanks to wkpark's patch and suggestions.
Good luck!

NOTES and KERNEL SOURCE:
- https://github.com/Topogigi/LGE-Kernel-Star-ICS
I need time to comment out the source for every single change I made. So I committed the source AS-IS for other developers to immediately take advantage of an already patched base, ready for further commits. I will add comments to the source ASAP
- People coming from other roms are strongly advised to firstly flash the v28g nvflash package (1.0 rom nvflash based) and THEN upgrade to the following releases
CREDITS:
- The entire CM team and AREMCEE in particular for his kernel repository. Without his github commits I would have not been able to recompile the sources
- Zeppelinrox for V6SuperCharger and Kick Ass Kernelizer
- wkpark and ibladesi for OC/UV code and ramhack solution
- Stefan Guendhoer for providing the base rom I reworked
- Faux 123 for the tweaks I applied to the deadline scheduler
- LG for providing us a leaked rom ?????? Am I just crazy ?????
....and many others that helped sharing their ideas and work for free.
