The blue thing is just a switch to a new theme (cyan) - you can switch themes in the themechooser.

I do have this lagginess too occasionally with temaseks KANGs (which doesn't differ much from these nightlies) - sometimes it happens after a day, sometimes after couple weeks. But I'll just restart then, I think it's due to some apps with poor memory management, but that's just a guess. It will work itself out after some time - but a restart is the quicker solution.

Same problem (#2) reported here

It really bothers me

[NOOB] After many months I tried to download with ROM Manager the cyanogenmod nightly (update-cm-7-20120226-NIGHTLY-p990-signed.zip) and I see that google apps was ICS version (gapps-ics-20120224-signed.zip)!

For the next time I've to download only the nightly?

Awesome ROM! Few questions.

Very nice ROM!

I got a few questions though.
- Which kernel do you guys consider most stable with CM7.2 (RC1), which allows for slightly overclocking to 1200Mhz?

- I really liked two things of the stock ROM, those are the shortcuts in the dropdown notification area. Mostly I miss the button to disable automatic screen rotation, and the music controls. Anyone know if there's a zip or apk somewhere, so I can add this to the ROM?

Thanks!

    temasek's KANG build P204-23


    NOTE

    This is a KANG build of CM7 ( CyanogenMod 7 ) for p990 and by NO means this is my ROM. I am just compiling from CM Source and 100% credits goes to CyanogenMod and the device maintainer of p990, Ricardo Cerqueira.


    - From this build P204-23, the filename will revert to original filename of KANG CM7 ROM. I will append my build numbering to facilitate easy management. This is to respect the CyanogenMod Team. If in the past due to my renaming of KANG filenames, I apolgise sincerely.
    - As per request by @vegas, cherry picked "Change If8f37d8f: Default volume control media (2/2 CMParts)" --- Confirmed working :)
    - To enable this function -> Settings -> CM Settings -> Sound -> Default volume media

    For SU660 824 BB users, you are required to flash this from recovery after u flashed your KANG. This is to add 'ro.telephony.nitz=GMT' in build.prop http://www.mediafire.com/?8od4tbxyg9mxfog

    For other BB users, you are NOT required to flash anything else. Its in the rom by default. Just got reminded by pastime1971 :p

    I believe if you don't use Automatic Time but use app lilke clocksync to sync your time, then you don't require to flash the above NITZ fix.

    Step by step

    Dear unfugor and JimmyLeeBillyBob, I know sometimes things are really annoying but I would resume all the steps to convert a Stock LG into "a CM7 beast". All these steps are explained in the forum but I will try to put them all together.

    STEPS (Please, follow the correct order):
    1) Root the device. There are 2 options but I've always used the first one (Super One Click):

    a) Super One Click - works with every ROM version (2.2.1 & above also supported) - By domi007
    Link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953182

    b) GingerBreak App - works with most ROMs inc stock - By Chainfire
    Link : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1044765

    1.1) How to Root with Super One Click:
    1.1.1) Install the LG Drivers into your PC to have ADB access to your phone www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1.exe
    1.1.2) Install Super One Click www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip
    1.1.3) Enable the USB debugging in your phone: Settings -> Applications -> Development. Also it's important to activate the "Allow no-market Applications" under Settings -> Applications
    1.1.4) Connect your phone to the PC through the USB
    1.1.5) Run SuperOneClick.exe
    1.1.6) Press the ROOT key and you will have ROOT ACCESS to your phone. It is recommended to run the test at the end of the process.

    2) Install Recovery "ClockWorkMod" (CWM)
    2.1 Download CWM from www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/cwm-5.0.2.7-P990_Moon.zip
    2.2 Unzip the downloaded file where you want (ex. in the Desktop)
    2.3 Connect the phone with the USB debugging enabled (Point 1.1.3)
    2.4 Run the executable according to your Operating System
    2.4.1 Windows: file install-cwm-mod-p990-windows.bat
    2.4.2 Linux: install-cwm-mod-p990-linux.sh
    2.4.3 Mac: install-cwm-mod-p990-mac.sh

    NOTE: Once installed, to enter into the CWM Recovery you have to power off the phone and then keep pressing the VOL- key while pressing the power On button until the phone enters into the CWM recovery menu (about 10 seconds).

    3) Change the Baseband:
    3.1) Download the Smartflash utility from here: www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/smartflash.zip
    3.2) Unzip where you want
    3.3) Download the Baseband you want.
    3.4) Unzip the Baseband where you want.
    3.5) Run SmartFlashTool_P990.exe
    3.6) Turn device off, remove the battery and plug the USB phone to the PC while holding volume down - . You should see a software update message on the screen and the COM port of the Smartflash program should be filled automatically. You can now unpress the volume down - key.
    3.7) Select the 'ROM Copy D/L' tab
    3.8) Ensure 'Normal Mode' is selected
    3.9) Ensure 'Erase CAL' is NOT selected
    3.10) Click the browse button next to 'CP Bin:' and select the baseband (FLS) file.
    3.11) Click 'Start' and wait for the flash to complete. The phone will automatically reboot and you can unplug the USB cable and mount the battery. back

    NOTE: We will flash the matching RIL after CM7 will be installed.

    4) Install latest CM7 nightly http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p990 .
    4.1) Once downloaded the CM7 put the zip into the root of your external SD card and enter into the CMW Recovery as explained on point 2. At this point I recommend to do a backup under the menu "backup and restore" just in case something goes wrong.
    4.2) Once the backup has been done choose WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
    4.3) Then choose "install zip from SD card" and choose the zip you put into the root of your SD card. Then wait until the end and choose reboot.
    4.4) After rebooting your phone configure all the options. If you want you can install the Google Apps that you can download from here: www.globalparts.es/ftp/miui/gapps-gb-20110907-signed.zip

    5) Install the matching RIL
    5.1) Go to the "Market" and search for the GetRIL application. Once installed execute and choose the RIL that matches your Baseband and check the option "keep RIL after flashing a new ROM". Then choose "Download and Install".
    5.2) If you prefer you can download the RIL in zip format and install it with the CWM Recovery as "Install zip from SD card"

    6) Change the Kernel:
    6.1) I recommend the Vorkkernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059910.
    NOTE: At the moment the E-Peen version gives me problems with the camera so I prefer the stable non E-Peen version.

    6.2) If you want you can download from the Market the app VorkKernel Updater and change the parameters according to your needs.

    NOTE: If you activate the FM Radio with this kernel you'll miss all the incoming calls so If you usually use the FM Radio I recommend to install the swiftextreme kernel or the one you prefer.

    7) Install additional applications:
    7.0) Google Applications Pack http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43058142/P990/Apk/gapps-gb-20110907-signed.zip
    7.1) Go Launcher - An outstanding Desktop (I recommend the Plate Theme)
    7.2) Go Keyboard and the Gingerbread theme. Don't forget to download your language pack (ex Spanish for Go Keyboard).
    7.3) SetCPU - This allows you to "Overclock your phone through the CM7 menu Settings -> CyanogenMod Setting -> Performance ->CPU Settings and choose max CPU Frequency to 1216.
    7.4) AllcallRecording - To record your incoming and outgoing phone calls.
    7.5) WhatsApp and Viber (of course)
    7.6) Sygic Navigator (an incredible offline Navigator)
    7.7) AppBrain (a Market alternative with best search results)
    7.8) MX Player - An incredible Video Player (A++++++)
    7.9) Soundhound - An improved version of Shazam to search for music (A++)
    7.10) TuneIn Radio
    7.11) Super Manager
    7.12) Titanium Backup
    7.13) Screen Off and Lock
    7.14) DroidWall - To deny access through the 2G/3G or wifi to the selected applications (A+++)
    7.15) More.... just search into the Market.
    10
    OK I set your values and testing it now. It seems bit less distorted on my side. Other side do not complain and said my voice is crystal clear.

    If someone else want's to try these values please feel free, since I could be subjective about sound quality.

    Replace this file in /system/bin

    Set 755 (rwx r-x r-x) permissions

    Don't forget to backup original one in case you don't like what you hear.

    P.S. My mother confirmed that she can hear me better then usual. (perhaps I should call more often)

    I've taken the values for the microphone volume (0x1a and 0x1b) from that, and moved the back-loop disable to nvrm_daemon. It should be in the next nightlies.
