Do you want to include (parts of) my kernel to your work (ROM, etc)?
Well, please, go ahead and do it.
You don't need to ask for my permission, however, it would be good if you contacted me to let me know (you don't have to, but it would be nice )
You must include a link to this thread and mention me in the OP. If outside of XDA, then add a link to my profile instead.
You must ask for my permission if you plan to modify my code.
This includes (from the ramdisk) :
File: /sbin/sysinit.sh
File: /init.extra.rc
Any line in /init.rc directly under (until the first empty line) a comment (#) with '-V- Kernel' in it.
(This does not include the original unmodified code, of course.)
Do you want to reset the LG RCT result and keep the kernel? Easy!
1. You will need to flash a special (attached) version, because the default.prop mod (v1.2+) is detected by RCT.
Flash the attached zip in recovery or extract the boot.img and flash it like in 'Manual Mode'.

2. Follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54198093
Done
Since you can't write to /system/etc/init.d without root, I added userinit.d. It is just like init.d but the scripts are placed in /sdcard/userinit.d
You have to create the directory and place the scripts inside. No need to set permissions (since you can't, anyway).

Could you include some OC features: overclock to 1.6 like invaderjohn and some underclock ?

I would have to build from source, however, I lack the knowledge and machine for that.
I could learn, but I don't have a PC with the ability to do pretty much anything.
I modded this kernel with my phone.

Unlock bootloader goes to manual installation too?

Yes, of course.
Modifying the stock kernel corrupts LG 's official signature, and thus, signature verification done by a locked bootloader fails. As a result, the bootloader cancels the bootup and displays an error.

Do you mean that it is disabled (off)?
That is because that app adds some lines at install-recovery-2.sh, while I modified the ramdisk.

v1.3 Released!
Added /sd-ext
Added userinit.d
This launches scripts from /sdcard/userinit.d/ just like init.d launches scripts from /system/etc/init.d.
It is intended for users who want to unroot and keep the kernel.
Added link to source in OP.
Special version for LG RCT released (at post #2).

Quick update (to v1.4) that changes the adbd binary to an insecure one.
ADB now always runs with root.
Post #2 updated.
It *shouldn't* be detected by LG RCT. ADB still runs as root. However, "adb remount" will be detected by RCT, "adb root" probably won't, since adb will be already running as root, so the command won't complete.

Custom ROM, no.
Little teaser, I am working on trying to get OTG host working, but nothing to test, yet.
Test version is out!
