This rom has been retired, please look into Harmonia, it's brethren.
Aphrodite 2.0.1 with Xionia 010 kernel (13apr11)
This is the progressive version of Aphrodite, where I will be pushing for newer kernels. See the header or notes below for which kernel you will be getting. For more information about this rom, please see the thread concerning Aphrodite 1.x http://forum.androidcentral.com/opti...d-01apr11.html
Note that this has a different boot screen animation that was built into the kernel (Sprint animation). This does not stop you from using a normal boot animation. It just replaces one of the early LG logo screens. I have no way of changing this or removing it, but since it replaces the LG logo, it is not taking up extra space.
Use at your own risk.
Fresh installs should wipe all, plus Dalvik (in advanced) to get the maximum space savings.
Aphrodite Variations
1.x This rom will remain on the Xionia .005 kernel which has proven quite stable.
1.x Extra Pure, this uses the stock Virgin kernel (not overclockable), it is meant for those who have charging problems with other kernels.
2.x This rom will use the 1.x/android 2.2 base, but pushes the kernel forward and is therefore less stable.

This rom has had everything removed that can within reason What is here (just enough to get you going): Xionia 010 Virgin kernel
Activate
Email (not easily obtained from the Market, or it would be gone as well)
Gallery3d
Live wallpaper chooser
Market (updated)
Vendor updated
SuperUser
Swype! Malware patch
speed tweaks
Search Widget
Normal utilities like phone, camera and such.
What was removed (the apps can be gotten from the Market):
Anything Virgin related besides the Activate App.
Gmail
Google Maps
Google Streetview
Most Wallpaper/all live wallpaper
Most ringtones Other languages (English is all that is left, sorry, if you need another, ask)
Some of the alarms
Youtube
Notes:
In Recovery, use Wipe data/factory reset then go into advanced and wipe Dalvik cache to recover the full space and get the full potential from this rom.
This should work with Thunderc, Xionia and ROMTools by Mmmark111. (see below for links and recommendations)
The Activate shortcut auto deletes from the desktop on first boot, this is expected.
Not much more can safely be removed, not without creating issues or hassles.
Wipe or don't wipe (if using 2.2), you should be okay, but I would anyways. See the first note.
If you wipe everything, bear in mind that there is no boot animation included so you will see the Android logo longer than normal. Boot animations are easy to find and install.
Awesome work! I wish I had waited one more day to run my battery drainage tests so that I could include this rom.
Would it be possible for you to upload the modified kernel separately? I know you've put a lot of work into this, but I was hoping that you kept the kernel modifications separate from the rom. I'd like to know how you fixed the issues with 013.
Thanks
There is no way to do just the kernel, it requires a handful of other files at least with how I did it.
I'm working on that with some people who know more about it than me in hopes that we can streamline it. If we can't, I'll publish the list of necessary files once we have some testing under our belt.
As for how I did it,
Lots of trial and error, reading, and just plain dumb luck. I don't consider myself a dev, I just know enough to be dangerous and I get lucky sometimes.
I'll go ahead and test this ROM and let you know how things go for me. Are there any major differences in this kernel you can point out? I will also test mms, which wasn't listed in the things that work, and let you know how it works for me. I'll also try OC with SetCPU. I already wrecked my speaker phone, which is annoying, so as far as I'm concerned I'll mess with this phone till it's a complete wreck and then replace it.
So these might be bugs or they might be isolated to me. When trying to flash a new recovery after installing your rom, the system didn't automatically reboot. When I did get it to reboot and go to recovery, it got stuck on the blue fastboot screen. I then tried flashing the recovery again, it did the same thing. This was all with Romtools. I then copied the img file directly to the sdcard and flashed using adb. That worked.
Another bug that might be related to the recovery bug I had is that the USB mass storage toggling window does not function correctly. It will start mass storage mode, but it won't detect it has started and turn orange. So you have to manually go back into settings -> sd card and mount the card again.
So far, those are the only bugs I've come across.
BTW, I think I figured out your sugar and spice . I have it going on Rodimus right now.
Mine might be isolated as well. MMS test took me about an hour to get, usually I get them almost instantly. Also coming out of my lock screen lags pretty bad, sometimes I have to hit the button repeatedly to get it to go back to the homescreen.
For testing vs other ROMs im using the same apps and setup that I usually use just so I have equal ground for comparison.

I had this same issue, when I went into My Computer it still showed my removable storage and it was accessible but I went ahead and mounted my sd card again first anyway.
What about compiling a new kernel since lg released the source code for the optimus v.
That is beyond me at the moment. I have contacted some people who can though with the information so we will see.

I have mine overclocked, I have no idea if it's functional, but it's running.

Odd, I flashed this a few times without issues.
It's rather odd though, because early versions would work off and on, then it got more reliable as it evolved. There still could be things missing.
I'll have to look into the sdcard mounting, may be a simple fix. Maybe not.
Congrats getting it to work.
I sent you some more info about how I did it.

The mms could have just been something at the time, I'm not sure, I have never really used that.
The lag, I have no idea.
I see it sometimes, but mainly on boot.
As soon as I hear back from the other devs I messaged, I will post up what I know so far in regards to how I got it. I want to hear their thoughts on it and give them a chance to catch up first.
The interface is definitely laggy. There is some stutter when scrolling. I applied this mod and it took care of most of the lag:

Optimus V Optimization script [Only registered users can view links. ]
I'm not sure what portion of it helped, but you may want to put some of these mods in the next release. Here is the source of the mods: [Only registered users can view links. ]
But not all of those apply to the V.
I can't be sure but I feel like the accelerometer/screen rotation has some lag still.
