Default [TEAM KANG][MOD]/[ROM]WeaponG2x A New Clip 2.3.3 {Read the directions!!!}

I am by no means a developer. I am simply a themer trying to learn. I am OCD about everything I install on any device I use. I try and try and try many combinations of mods until I find what works the best for me. I also add mods that I like and fix things in the roms general theme that I do not like. And this is exactly what I have done here....

I was not going to post this, but my testers asked me to so here it is. If the thread gets retarded because people can not follow instructions I will get the thread removed.....

BEFORE YOU EVER ATTEMPT TO USE THIS YOU MUST HAVE FLASHED WEAPON 3.0_R1 AND LET IT BOOT ONCE. OR YOU WILL BOOTLOOP.


YOU CAN FIND THE ORIGINAL WEAPON HERE:
WEAPON 3.0_R1



I post this with the tags as [MOD] for one reason and one reason only. AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT CAN NOT BE FLASHED BY ITSELF!!!!!! YOU MUST BE ALREADY USING WEAPON TO FLASH THIS!!!!!!!!

FOLLOW THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS OR DO NOT BOTHER TO TRY TO USE THIS!!!

Ok this is my basic mod of Weapon G2x. This is what I used as my daily driver for a long time. I have had over 20 testers try it with nothing but positive results. As far as I know everything is working. There is still some buggy spots in the stock browser this is not due to any of the hacks applied by Whitehawkx or me. It is due to LGs lack of coding, or should I say LGs failure of implicating correct coding. And as with any stock LG based ROM there is some weirdness here and there.

What I did:
a.) Tweaked the frameworks in a few spots to allow quicker transitions.
b.) I added ICS sounds all the way around the ROM.
c.) Changed out all the lockscreen clock fonts.
d.) Added the init.d scripts I like to use. (I will add explanation of why I used what I used down the way.)
e.) Added Center clock mod, I did not make it roll up because I always like to see the time and date when I pulldown my notification bar. Yes some text will overlap but I always use tweaks to change out my clock color so it matches whatever theme I am using. If you flash a theme over this you will break the center clock and some of the tweaks, but other then that there shouldnt be too much of an overall affect. I might add move clock to tweaks but I doubt I will be able to have time to do so.
f.) Build.prop tweaks for gps and such....they dont do much but I figure every little bit helps with this POS device
g.) I am sure there is some others I have forgotten.....cause I am working on several projects at once....

Ok for the init.d scripts I know some cancel the others out to an extent. Minfree is set to the same levels in edttweaks and juwe11s ramscript but juwes also gives other settings, that for me work out well. I also added a few others I use that help me out battery wise. With the init.d scripts I included I get about 20 hours with 2+hours of display time. Results will vary for everyone, but for me it has been better as well as for those who tested it.

NOTE: I only use the stock kernel that comes with the rom. From my experience and from my testers that has shown the best results.


Known issues to my knowledge:

You must already be on WeaponG2x_3.0_R1 to flash this or YOU WILL BOOTLOOP!! LIKE I SAID FOLLOW MY INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS!

A.} The way to install my mod, is stupid...but it is the only way I can get it to work for those of you who want it. So follow the instructions or don't attempt to install it.....

B.} The stock browser will go stupid sometimes..Once again complete and utter failure on LG. This happens on any rom that is based off of LGs code.....

C.} External SD will not mount unless you mount it through CWM recovery, or if you format the card after flashing Weapon.

D.} You must already be on WeaponG2x_3.0_R1 to flash this or YOU WILL BOOTLOOP!! LIKE I SAID FOLLOW MY INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS


_________________________________________________
OK. Now for the part I am sure most of you can't follow. The install instructions......
_________________________________________________





1.) FIRST FLASH WEAPON_3.0_R1, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT INSTALLED DO NOT BOTHER TO TRY TO BOOT THIS MOD/ROM.

2.) ONCE YOU HAVE WEAPON INSTALLED REBOOT INTO CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY.

3.) WIPE CACHE AND GO TO ADVANCED AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE.

4.) DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING BESIDES DALVIK AND CACHE!

5.) INSTALL THE MOD OVER WEAPON.

6.) ONCE THE INSTALL IS DONE REBOOT AND LET IT SETTLE FOR A FEW MINUTES.



DOWNLOAD WEAPON THE NEW CLIP HERE:
WEAPON_NEW_CLIP_V-0.1


....Now like I said YOU MUST HAVE WEAPON 3.0 RC1 already installed or you will bootloop. And you WILL bootloop if you do not follow the install instructions I gave EXACTLY. I do not know why, I tried my best to fix it but I couldnt. I am not a developer I am just a noob themer trying to learn my way around android....

This is pretty much the only time I am going to give this out simply because those who tested it asked me to. Otherwise I wouldnt have given it out. I have alot of projects going on between my cm7 themes and roms I am working on. I will do my best to help anyone who has issues, but if you cant follow the instructions I do not know what to tell you.

If you did not follow the instructions and get stuck in a bootloop pull your battery and flash weapon 3.0_r1. Let it boot and settle for a few minutes. After that if you want my mod go back to recovery and install the mod.

Did I forget to mention its smoother then buttery bacon grease biscuits on a slip n slide?!?!

Anything that can be flashed to the original Weapon ROM can also be flashed here all the add ons work. But as I said if you flash a theme for the old versions of weapon you will break some of the tweaks/fixes....

Add Ons:
Stock Gingerbread MMS
Stock Gingerbread Camera
Bravia Hack for those who thinks it actually does something....
Im not sure if LG cam works or not havent tested it, but I will probably have to re upload it....

Well i am working on some other gingerbread roms for the g2x. I have no idea how long it will take to finish them. I plan on working more on this as well.
