Can't think of anything regarding your new issues. Here's the thread where ROM-specific tech support could likely be found for the Android version you currently have installed: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...inferior-human-organs-unofficial-cm7-1-a.html

Are all of your other files on the SD card showing up and functioning normally, i.e. music, pictures, etc?

I did have an odd issue once with USB mounting. Have you tried plugging into a different USB port? On a laptop I used to have, out of the blue, one of the USB ports just wouldn't recognize the phone when I plugged it in. It's a long-shot but worth a try. Might be worth it to re-install the LG USB drivers also. Will see if I can dig them up on here..

Here are the USB drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?k643dag6x7s7dl2

Ugh. Get ready for an avalanche of people saying "DON'T USE ROM MANAGER"

Sounds like you have a newer version of the Optimus V that has the Hitachi screen. Since as far as I know, the recovery that ROM MANAGER supplies isn't actually for the OV, it's probably a simple matter of just flashing a new recovery that supports the Hitachi screen.

First: UNINSTALL ROM MANAGER

Here's a link to a program called flash image gui. FlashImageGUI.apk Download and install it on your phone.

Here's a link to a recovery that will support the Hitachi screen: VM670NH_recovery.img

Here's how to install the new recovery:
4. Download and copy the recovery image (works with new & old OV screens) onto your the root directory of your sdcard.
5. Install the Flash Image GUI app (save the .apk to a /sdcard directory, then open it with file manager) Run the app & select 'Recovery Image' option with and direct it to the image file saved on your SD card

As long as you can boot into your stock ROM, no harm can be done when flashing a recovery.

What exactly would you be using the terminal for? Flashing the new recovery? If so, no, it won't effect your ROM. Don't really need the terminal though. Try flashimagegui first.

Help needed please.

Did everything exactly as the guide, but now a few things don't work:

1- Home button
2 - Google widget (says unexpectedly stopped)
3 - market (even after typing my info)

So far this is what I've noticed.

Thanks

What Rom did you flash? You might have flashed a Rom not made for your phone. As for the market and search issues, I expect you forgot to flash gapps
