Hi everyone, I wanted to test a rom for your device just to challenge myself so I built PA 4.4.4, I do not own the P970, and have not Idea if it even boots or flashes, any bricking or damage caused to your phone is your fault alone.

Instructions:
1. Full wipe
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash Gapps either micro or nano
4. reboot
5. Enjoy

What's working
Everything(?)

What's NOT working
You tell me (comments or PM)

well....
ROM boots after 1 hour...
No sd card (maybe hardware problem has I have mixed with my phone hardware because of hardware buttons don't work).
Now I can't reboot into recovery nor having sd card).
But I can tell that it boots (hardly). and it works .
Keep trying
Cheers

Aeroi is in the same boat, no data. I'm looking for commits on the Nameless gerrit cause it seems to be working there.

BUG's & FC's

- Hey guys thanks for the work that you're doing for the old LG Optimus Black. I ported the rom on my Korean OB Lg KU5900. I flashed KU5900_V30I_00_CP.fls together with [PATCHED]V20B using Smart flash tool to make it P970 and have the Open Recovery. It's amazing because it works. However, I just noticed that the rom is a little bit laggy even no apps have been installed yet. It became more laggy when I installed my other apps. By the way, we're hoping that you'll fix it especially the memory management of the rom coz the phone is only 512MB of ram. Keep it up and waiting for your further developments. Thanks a lot!^^

what works:
*bluetooth
*wifi
*camera [Only in taking pictures]
*automatic brightness
*audio
*mobile network

working but with bugs:
*CAMCORDER's Audio and Video were not synchronize. There's a delay on movements.
*The ROM lags a lot while gaming and sometimes black screen occurs while you're browsing. You have to remove and re-attach the battery to turn back on.

FC's
*Kernel Tweaker always not responding
*Incompatible on some apps
