  8. Old recommendations are now default settings
  9. Revert CPU speed back to ondemand 245-768MHz on boot

Overall: The fastast gingerbread ROM you can get, test it before you judge.

Purpose:
Ever since Ice Cream Sandwich released, I fell in love with it's futuristic UI. However, since CM9 is not officially supported our Legend, I made this CM 7.2 ROM to mimic ICS look with the stability of CM7.2.
New Recommendation:
- Disable comcache if you are using and disable lock launcher in memory, cuz it interfere with V6 SuperCharger.
- Don't use other app2sd script that move system dalvik-cache to SD Card, it will slow system down and make this ROM unresponsive. Use link2sd that I provided it work with this ROM just great
* If you don't like the apps I had put in, just install other app that u preferred.
** Use your prefered CPU overclock app to change CPU speed to 600MHz if you got random reboot.
*** Fresh boot into ROM for the first time? Do an Antutu benchmark and share with us :D

The hang might be because of the default overclock. My Legend for example doesn't like overclocking at all, causing hangs almost immediately if I even try.

how come, i use 787 all the times and got no error, is ur device never can overclock?
Indeed, I cannot get my phone stable when overclocked. If I play some music, if I browse the Market or surf the internet, chances are high my Legend will hang. All CPU's are equal, but some are better than others.

Yes 787mhz is too much
so what CPU speed is not too much? i even use 806 without hang.

this is an ics lookalike...

maybe you should point out that it's GB, since it's based on cm7.2
why should I? are you suggesting CM7.2 is ice cream sandwich? i put in the threat title pretty clear it's based on CM7 so what the hell?

Purpose:
As Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich for Legend is still under development. Zeubea's ROM is amazing but there are some bugs with codec that rendered us unable to play HD videos, record videos, capture panoramic images, and sometimes unresponsiveness of lock screen. Which I find quite bad for daily usage. So this ROM comes to life, it was made for myself but I decided to share with you guys

then why compare it to zeubea's ics rom?....there's no need, or even logic to compare it to a rom which in fact really is ICS...

what is your definition of comparing? to me i didn't compare and my statement isn't look like comparing at all, read it clearly. This is development section about a ROM if you got no bug to report stop posting none sense stuff here... even if I compare it's my own RIGHT.
