[ROM][DEV] LG Optimus Black P970 Gingerbread 2.3.4 V20N Repackaged

---

This ROM based from Official Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM V20N Germany.

The nandroid backup are provided by N00BY0815.

This thread posted in DEV section (as suggested by Mrs. reinbeau), because we will have planned another cooking time with this ROM, such as deodexed apk/framework, themes, kernel, and optimization.


WHAT'S INSIDE

1. Reformatted ramdisk to use EXT4 EMMC partition.
2. default.prop setup to having rooted device ro.secure=0
3. Original and still completed APK and odexed, nothing changed/removed.
4. /system/etc/flex/flex.xml: FLEX_COUNTRY_CODE="COM" to be Universal.
5. build.prop: ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=GB,en to be English.
6. Zero byte of busybox replaced, and the symbolic link corrected.
7. Increase read ahead buffers on MMC devices: 1024.

ISSUES

This issues found by myself, as my personal review, and not everyone might have it, perhaps it has normally.

1. Opening Gallery seems take longer, perhaps related with lots of files, photos, and screenshots, sometimes got FC. Even it's already closed, it make the system much heavy, and looks frozen. Forced to plug USB cable and adb reboot.
2. I don't know why when we choose ringtone/notification sound, it show the name twice, but actually the original audio is just one file.
3. ...
4. ...

HOW TO FLASH

This ROM is NOT KDZ. Repackaged as .zip and flashed via CWM-Recovery, so you should have Recovery before you can use it...

1. Copy files P970_GB_234_V20N_signed.zip to SDCARD
2. Boot CWM Recovery
3. Wipe Data/Cache (if not wiped, might cause problem)
4. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache (same as data/cache, might cause problem)
5. Install zip from SDCARD
6. Reboot.

You're welcome

But v20N has already released, I might take a look for this, tried to get it root first, then I might cook it if it works...

Hi there redy, you know I like your work, so I must ask, now that official GB has been released will you keep DEV-ing this?? [I hope so ]
