Instructions to use RebornROM:
*MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION.*

*For best results, make sure you have a full charge before flashing.*

1. Download RebornROM for the Optimus V. Do not open it, do not extract it, do not rename it.
2. Place on root of sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Wipe data,cache,dalvik
4. Flash Reborn ROM.
5. Reboot and enjoy!

Known Bugs specific to this ROM:
*Our launcher doesn't play nice with different LCD density's because the PNG's do not scale. Default density is 160. If you'd like to change your density you need to use a different launcher/home replacement. This is not something we are looking into changing.

Zefie's clockwork mod works. What did it say when it aborted?

And yes this is based of 2.2

I'm running this on my Optimus S. The ROM is fantastic!
