SlimGen site has been made! Visit regularly for exclusive features! http://www.sethworkz.tk/
-SlimGen is a CyanogenMod based ROM which is focused on being the fastest and slimmest ROM for the LG Optimus One (Slim = because it's slim(not for filesize,but it's missing useless apps) / Gen = comes from cyanoGENmod,because it is based on CM7)
Why did you create SlimGen ROM?There are many other ROMs for the P500.
-The main reason I created this ROM is because I don't like bloatware at all. Also I don't like having installed such apps on my phone which I personally will never EVER use so I thought I make my own rom without having that stuff. I never thought I will release it to the public. But then my brother and even my friends liked using the rom and so I decided to release it here on XDA.
What do you expect from the community?
-Nothing at all. I made this ROM for myself,but because of the great feedback I got,I thought to release it to the public. The only thing you can do for me,is to donate any amount if you like my work. That's all.
How to install the ROM?

http://www.sethworkz.noads.biz/romupdate/updaterupdate1.zip

Info: the updater zip is not signed, disable check for certificate in recovery. If for some reason the ROM doesn't boot after installing this update, just reflash the rom and it will be ok.
Info:
LCD density change(or resolution change) shrinks down the whole user interface by dividing the number of pixels by 25% but still maintaining a readable text even on our devices. It's mainly a placebo to fool your eye that you have a WVGA screen devices, which obviously you don't. In my opinion, everything looks better with the resolution change. More things fit into the screen allowing you to read more, and swipe less.
(Keep in mind that all original nightly builds contain many bugs which obviously I cannot and will not fix,that is the CM7 team's job to fix those. So if you find or encounter any bugs during using the ROM,blame them,not me. Thank you)
ToDo:
-upgrade to Android version 4.0.3 [ DONE!] CHECK SLIMGEN 2.0!
