Nice! I've had problems with all stock-based roms I've tried so far. I'm looking forward to trying this!
Also, bootstrap/4G locked compatible?
Can someone explain this rom to me like I'm dumb (which I am)?
Can you still do PRL updates with them or does this not matter anymore?
Can you load it on a locked bootloader, will 4G work with this rom?
What are the advantages of running this over stock?
How do I go about installing it?
Cool, a new rom. I'll give her a whirl tonight. Good job.
Can't find Rom on Martian website. Error on second mirror

then post back some pros and cons for future user on Unlocked Electrify

I'm guessing since it's is titled "(Unlocked)" it can be installed through CWM (Clockwork Mod) which can only be installed with an Unlocked Bootloader and since you stated that you have a 'locked bootloader' I dont think you can use this Rom...yet? I could be wrong tho...someone please feel free to correct me on this. but i hope this helps you out a little bit!
2nd mirror 404 error, 1st mirror file is 0 kb.
Having server issues. Please stand by.
Had to wipe and reup. Mirror1 is working and Mirror2 should be up shortly. VTL 1.7.5.2 is terribly slow so need to choose between a full launcher or revert back to Zeam.
Pssst. Waiting on word back from GoLauncher. I keep you updated.

Try it with a heavy weight launcher like Go Launcher (it's even smoother). I was going to put Arc launcher in it which is stupid fast on this ROM but widget/screen layout annoyances stopped me.

Some of the camera issues (8MP, squished display) are a left over from skinny. I completely forgot about that as I use IG Camera, I'll look into it. My camera seems to be in focus (see attached pic).
The way it's themed, red has replaced blue to show your are connected to google services. If you could post a screen cap of the taskbar issue that would be great!

Try the new Samuaz's ICS build MedroidModHWA-1.4.4.
I try it for almost 2 days and seems not bad. I don't like the application that amuaz built in (like Astro, Titanium and Nova Launcher Prime) and uninstalled them via Root Uninstaller since I use the License prog....
The camera previous view ok.

Can somebody tell me, why in ICS energy usage by display is so big (60-70%)?
On MIUI 2.3.9 I had only 25-30%.
thanks for your link... would like to ask, does the launcher go crazy after taking few photos like it used to happen before???
nice to see samuaz is still developing! Is he using latest HWA from Drewis like dk_zero-cool rom?

Probably because MUI has a battery drain somewhere else? Another possibility is that your phone with MUI was mostly pn standby. 60-70% is quite normal if you use your phone, as the screen uses the most power in a phone.

Lag while transitioning between settings menus, or while opening any app such as messaging. Wasn't there till 1.4.1, has been there since 1.4.2. Frustrating to be stuck on 1.4.1 to avoid it!
@samuaz, I've posted about it a couple of times. Could you identify why this is recurring? Its not there on the BCM9 ROM either. I do full wipes before EVERY install, so doesn't look like an issue with my installation.
Also, the multitouch fix posted in the @texasice Evervolv thread causes the phone to get stuck on bootscreen! Fix please!

By default its start as 3G without any problems. When you change it to 2G still not any problem. Just if you want to repeat to 3G it'll reboot and start up again as 3G with no problem at all.

It's not built for the Nexus, it is built for the Endeavor (One X). I am tweaking the zip, will post results.
EDIT: As expected, it doesn't work. Phone just bootloops. I will be working on a AOSP ICS conversion mod for our own device. I will post it when it's somewhat off the ground. For the record, the AOSP apps from that ZIP do work, just extract them and push them to system/app I tried contacts, phone and MMS so I can vouch for those. Only thing is (and this even happens with the MMS app ported to our phones) MMS messages don't work, only SMS.
EDIT 2: I was going to hold off on releasing this until it was a bit more completed, but seeing as more than three of us want a stock looking phone. Here you all go :

Flashed his 23 toggles & the boot menu and although I was able to boot still, SystemUI no longer ran. I had to flash back. Stock JB -- not Nun's deodexed.
And, yes, I see that the post says it's for deodexed only. But I figured I'd give it a shot. The thread also says it's for the Skyrocket.
Edit: I'm a glutton for punishment. I went back and flashed only the powermenu one, and all it managed to do was remove the ripples from my lockscreen. My power and reboot menus were still the same.

Official? So it works on official releases? Or it works on unofficial releases of the official release? Lol
This mod has a bug. Try opening something that does not have a default application.
It will show "Phone" and "Headphones" buttons
instead of
"Always" and "Just Once"
The problem here is the thread by the OP is for a different system that uses a different framework-res.apk than ours.

Before you start saying, "CyanogenMod iz da [email protected][email protected]!" and "Yew suk newb unlok yew bootlodah!," I'd like to point out that SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH there are a lot of people here who haven't been able to unlock their bootloader, thanks widely to T-Mobile USA. -.- So there are many people who have root and recovery, but are unable to install ROMs and feel unsafe flashing European phone versions, only to mess up and screw over their phone's digitizer with no knowledge of how to fix it!

Alright, so to all you experienced users, disregard this section aha! Basically I'm teaching you how to root and gain CWM access in a broad 3 step process. Enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 1.) Root your phone. If you're on JB, use THIS METHOD. You don't need to do the spritebud check, just run the application provided and it should root you. After you do this, install the Superuser app from the Play Store that was developed by CLOCKWORKMOD, and start it and select "install" on the popup dialog. If it failed to install the binaries, run the LGPwn application again and do it a couple more times until it works, if it doesn't, ask for help on his thread.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 2.) Install busybox and CWM. Go to the Play Store and download the BusyBox app made by Stericson, and install busybox. Then go into Artas' L9 Recovery Installer, and install that. You can find the recovery HERE.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 3.) When you power on your phone, the LEDs should flash repeatedly for about 3-5 seconds, in order to enter CWM Recovery, press the VOL DOWN button and it should load up the menu. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING YOU AREN'T SURE ABOUT.

Before you freak out, yes there is customization with rooted phones that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader! The best of which is done using the Xposed Framework, a guide that I made HERE. Check out that guide, it's also a work in progress and YES, I know, it looks hideous. I'm not good at formatting on forum posts, but HEY. I'm learning.

Alright, so you've either continued to read here because... 1.) You're a rebel who didn't click the LINK DARN YOU, 2.) You've themed your phone with Xposed (AWESOME), or 3.) You didn't want to because you're a BORING LAZY POOPFACE. With that being said, ever seen those stupid QSlide apps that you MAY or MAY NOT use? You can't remove them on stock. They take up space and make it look all.. blegh. BUT! There's this really awesome guy named @mateo1111 who created a mod to remove those pesky space-wasters from your precious notifications! AND, if that wasn't enough, he created a mod to make your notification bar PITCH BLACK. It looks absolutely, undeniably, SICK. Here's the links to each of his posts.

Now, there are also modified applications available, in various colors and formats. I personally am a huge fan of transparency, as I use a setup with a (usually) galactic wallpaper, and set that as my keyboard background using "Kii," and have my epic background in all the apps I use But how would I do that? Well, "Team Blackout" has made it easier than ever! I'll leave links to their stuff below I highly recommend their things, and they actually complete orders and requests. It's amazing, and I can't turn back to the bright white and ugly color schemes that Google uses in their applications. Check these out guys

There's a TON of apps in the Play Store (More than iOS now W00T!), but the best are often hidden among the popular Chinese ones filled with advertisements. (Go Dev, I'm looking at you.) So without further ado, here are the applications that I absolutely recommend without a doubt to ANYONE with this phone, or any phone, for that matter.
Textra - This is a given. It's a texting replacement app, and its ingenious Group Chat feature is unrivaled and is cross-platform. It even has an amazing feature to turn on data only when sending/receiving MMS. Amazing. Also, it looks a lot like the "Kik" app if you know what that is. I personally am not a fan of that iOS/Android-blend kinda UI, but it's doable I guess. I recommend using Hangouts for SMS now.
Next Browser - Wow, Go Dev Team actually made a decent piece of software for once! Don't get me wrong, I'm no developer, and couldn't do any better, but their applications are bloated into eternity. Sadly, I've watched this browser get more bloated slowly and slowly, but at least they haven't advertised their other apps in it yet. ANYWAYS, this browser is really fast and smooth, but doesn't sync across devices like Opera/Chrome/Firefox, so sorry to multi-device fanatics.
A replacement launcher - Smart Launcher, Apex, Nova, Holo, Action, anything but the stock LG Home. Please. It's too slow and wastes RAM, and is kinda blegh in my opinion. But to each their own.
Duolingo - Learn a language. Seriously. Do it. It's fun on here. The tools are amazing and it's simply... simple. Spanish/Italian/Portuguese/German/French, and more being added in time. You can also learn English, but I don't see how you'd be reading this..
Bible - Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, and do not take this as an offense, however, if you are a Christian, this is the most useful spiritual tool you can get on Android "Got Questions" is another good one.
Kii Keyboard - Simply the best. If you know how to use the "Freedom" app, you can crack the in-app purchase to get the full version, not that I recommend it. I've used this since the beta in January (I think it was January) and it's simply gotten better and better. Swype couldn't lure me back.
Music - Omich Player is the best music player on Android, if you want to listen to music. There's apps with 50 different equalizers and a ton of crap I don't want, when I just want my music. This one does just that, using the older Play Music style. It also sports an option for a transparent background.
WifiKill - It kills Wifi. Kicks people off of the network using a simple, yet effective, ARP spoofing method. It literally takes a touch of a button. Great fun when in school or university, and you feel like messing with the teacher or

Oh, so you do want to play games, eh? NERD. Kidding. Anyways, here's what you gotta do. Go HERE and see the second post. Flash it in CWM Recovery (You did install that, right?) and go to "Settings -> Storage" LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE HEHE. Side note: If your SD Card is less than a Class 10, apps installed there won't run as fast as they would on the system. So if you truly have no need for extra memory, please don't do this with a bad SD card just for lulz ahaha

Is there a mod for switching our status bar to an s3 or s4 status bar?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Thanks a lot.
Works great!
Removing T-Mobile My Account will have zero adverse effects on your phone, it's just bloatware and can be downloaded on the Play Store if need be.

I'm sure there's an S3/S4 CyanogenMod theme, if there is we can port it and I'd be glad to help you. If there isn't, you can try another.

Woah, you serious? I heard somebody did it and it glitched out their billing or something. Have you removed it? I don't want to edit it without knowledge.

I tested it, it worked fine on V20F Want me to post the link on here and give you credits? Or, you could make a thread of your own in the "Development" section and I could provide the link to your thread for the download.

I'll fix it, thanks. Kudos.
I tried flashing the CM10 messaging app (the one that says mmsstock.apk) and it's not showing me anything different, even though it says it was a success. Any ideas?

im working on a fix for the messaging apps right now ik what i have to do lol im also attempting to do the phone and contacts but i screwed my contacts up for my sd card with my back up crashed so if anyone could send me a copy of their lgcontacts3.apk that would be sweet
EDIT: i do not believe flashable zips work, i manually installed mine all you have to do is go into rootbrowser move/ copy unimessagebin.apk to a sd card then take the mms.apk rename it unimessagebin.apk and paste it into system apps
