Flashed the rom, everything working, great looks, great usability, except for few little things like the undervolt option( I think it does nothing cause our kernel i think doesn't support undervolting), the ultra brightness option ( also does nothing), and the wifi in the beginning connected to the network but didn't open webpages but after a reboot it was working. All in all a GREAT rom and no bugs whatsoever.

I am really tired with this.
Ok, install another launcher, delete the standardwithdoc.apk from system/app reboot. Go to your SD card and installed the signed home apk as a normal app.now you need something like homehelper to clear the home launcher.try it and share it

    Many many tweaks, fast and stable.. You can use it as every day rom without problems, force closes or unexpected reboots;)

    THIS IS HYBRID ROM NOT ALL WORKS PERFECTLY, SOME OPTIONS ARE ONLY FOR THE XPERIA PHONE AND THEY ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO LG OPTIMUS ONE.

    ( This rom is for OLD BASEBAND)[/B]

    * Xloud does not turn off
    * Undervolting not working ( Not support by the kernel)

    To Boykioy
    I don't understand why WhatsApp crashes coz the log file is too generic about, says only "unespected error" or similar thing. Perhaps there's another log file I don't know, I'm not so skilled yet in Android stuff. The keyboard error reported in the log file has gone away after I copied the missing files in /system/usr/keychars and keylayout directories, that's good! The crash in WhatsApp happens when I touch the "send" virtual button on the screen (not on the virtual keyboard), but not every time... with Mik's CM7 6.5.8 and 6.5.7 roms this thing doesn't happens but I don't go back to plain Mik's rom only for this damned WhatsF*ck, for sure!:)

    To mDroidd
    OpenOptimus 2.202 was (is) developed and mantained by Ciaox that seems to me open-minded to the user requests, you can try ask him about your wishes on LG's GB 2.3.3.
    And yes, applying a theme to CM roms is enough easy but GingerCrust is, I see, way much more than a themed rom and realizing it in a stable and reliable status is way more hard and time demanding than theming only. To realize a GingerCrust-like rom for LG GB 2.3.3 is still harder, I think, due the lack of some essential docs (sources) from LG.
    If you like the CM "power buttons" you can try the Espier launcher, it resembles the iOS home (not so bad!), smooth with big icons plus sweeping on the right the hidden dock bar, appear a sort of "power bar", try it... Cheers!

    GB 2.3.3 by LG is a closed story. LG released only part of the source code and stopped P500 software development.
    GingerCrust, based on the well known CM7 plus the helpful Xperia features, is a smart & wise project, perhaps the coolest rom out there. The very few bugs I have seen are fixable and not important for most of us, the rom is stable and fast and good for every day use, what do you want more?
    Really the bug reported can be reduced to reboot into recovery option, FDN, manually search for providers. The others are false bugs (automatic brightness is useless without the sensor and can be ignored, Xloud may be used due a new CM7 DSP I have, undervolting is useless without kernel and hardware support and can be ignored, camera silence can be obtained easily, battery status style not visible in statusbar option... who cares?).
    I hope in a next release with the very few remaining bug fixed, this is (for MY needs! ) the rom of the year!
