Daily use: for most but not for some
Probs: very minimal probs but can be found in his thread
Details: this is a quick zippy ics rom for the lg optimus s. It has the kravens cm9 kernel included.
Apps2ext built in due to little space our phone has. Most peoples rom of choice due to the quickness and customization it has to offer. A highly recommended rom

Tdm's cm9
Stable:just about
Daily use: yes
Probs: YouTube high quality,deep sleep,wireless tether
Details: this is a rom by tdm originally made for the lg optimus v but has now made for lg optimus s,v, lg marquee,lg optimus m,c, and lg vortex. It is really customizable and fast. It is built off of the cyanogenmod source which makes it a port and a good one at that. It has apps2ext built in for the little space on our phones. I'm using it now.

Tdm's aokp
Stable:getting there
Daily use:its acceptable
Probs:YouTube and everything his cm9 has

Sprint doesn't sell this phone new anymore.. I think this post is redundant.

Just saying.

 

[jackelmatador]

Yes but a lot of us still have this phone, something like this is really useful, add links to the ROMs and this would be amazing!

One little correction: you don't NEED an ext partition to run my magpie rom. You only need it if you want to move apps to it. It runs fine without it.

Well, technically, they don't sell it.....They give it away free.....

What other free phone can you get with this kind of advanced development?

Believe it or not, it's $20 if you go into a Sprint store and get one. It's free if you buy it from Sprint online, from BestBuy and from Radioshack. Go figure. The only thing I can figure is that Sprint wants to shut down their store fronts. Every time I walk into one of my local stores, there are fewer and fewer employees and less and less furniture...
