Ok I'm posting this for anyone who wants to flash this rom (Yes I know IHO and Ath3nos exist, but this is a very stable and good ROM)
first of all. This is NOT a full how to.
You should already have your phone rooted. and ONLY ROOTED WITH THE OFFICIAL SUPPORTED METHOD that is stickied at the top of this forum.
the next EASIEST step is download Rom Manager and flash the recovery to your phone by tapping Flash Recovery (while rooted) and select Optimus V.
now after you did that. TOTALLY IGNORE ROM MANAGER AND DONT TOUCH IT ANYMORE.
here are the things youll need.
1. The actual ROM itself. aospCMod-VM670-20110601-signed.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
2. the Gapps. gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
3. The Camera Focus Fix Fix_Camera_Focus.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
First step is to download all 3 files. put them on your SD card of the phone. DO NOT UNZIP THEM
boot into recovery (you can do this from inside rom manager, its safe.) and once your in recovery, use the volume buttons and the camera button to move around and select items.
scroll to advanced, select it, and select Wipe Dalvik Cache. now press back and go into the main menu again if your not there already, and select Wipe Cache Partition, after thats done, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
now your phone is ready to flash the new rom.
select install zip from sdcard
select "choose zip from sdcard"
youll see a list of all the folders that are on the sd card and at the bottom you will see the rom you put there, as well as the gapps file.
select the rom, select yes to flash it. it will complete normally.
now, go back and select choose zip from sdcard, and flash the gapps file right after the rom.
now, flash the camera fix zip. right after the gapps. THIS IS OPTIONAL, NOT REQUIRED. however you can do it if you want. i do not have this flashed on my phone and i have NO camera problems, and im using the exact rom .zip file that is linked to download.
ok, now you can reboot your phone and you will launch into aospCM7.
it will ask you to sign in to google account, but you have to click skip becuase the on screen keyboard will not come up.
now, open the app drawer, go to the market, and sign into your google account THERE.
now, download your apps, sync your contacts, set the settings how you like. and enjoy aosp cm 7
IM POSTING THIS BECUASE THESE FILES NEED TO BE IN ONE PLACE AND EASY TO FIND. right now they are scattered around this forum. not fair to someone who wants this rom.
some people will tell you ath3nos is better, others will say IHO is better. whats for sure is that now you have to ability to download and try ALL of them.
ive been using this rom since it was released. with no problems. in fact, i installed it that night. and have not even re installed it since. I try other roms but I nandroid backup my current rom and restore it back. so thats not a re install.
ok, now whoever wants to chime in can, I suggest first person to reply should detail the steps for making a nandroid backup in ClockWorkMod cuz i gotta go, cant stick around to type anymore
