Bootsound: http://www.mediafire.com/?kvovzrjr99b8ixx
(remember to rename the bootsound to PowerOn.mp3 and back the old one up!)
Enjoy and please provide feedback!
looking nice
Thanks! Do you have any requests for other bootscreens?
sorry for this, haven't tried changing bootsound, basically how do you change that one? thanks man
Back the original one up in /system/sounds/lgeSounds/PowerOn.mp3, download this one, rename it to PowerOn.mp3 and put it in the same place.
Could u make a bootscreen of HP Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu
Depends if it's bootable.
You know how to change is it our in this case add it in miks Cm7 rom

Hmm... To tell you the truth, I have no idea. I am using the stock v20g ROM + root and tweaks btw. You should go find the special tutorial for applying bootscreens on the V or your ROM.

Applying the bootanimation is cake. I should have been more clear. The sound file folder doesnt exist in the path listed above. Ive tried various different things to get this to work and asked about it before in other threads. But nobody knows.
Thanks for the reply guess Ill go rip apart the stock rom and see where virgin hides their sounds.

Ah, I see. Yeah, guess you gotta do that if the sound is not the same as the original LG one (you can check that out in a recent video on my YouTube channel).
I know that there are actually LOTS of "How to port ROMS" in this forum now.. but I would like to share a certain source I found that is actually fool proof
Here it goes!
find a ROM that is designed for the same CPU type and the same phone manufacturer. Any stock Gingerbread, ICS, or CyanogenMod 7/9 ROM should work, but you’ll have to make sure your phone can handle the ROM – no ICS for an HTC Hero, for example. Also, your Port ROM's original Phone should have the same RESOLUTION with that of your phone's.
You will need:
**Notepad++
**a compression program (WinZip or 7zip and etc)
**the ROM you want to port to your phone (let’s call it the "Port ROM")
**a ROM designed for your phone (let’s call it"Base ROM")
Click to expand...

This guide may mention some files or directories that aren’t present in your particular ROM; don’t worry, just carry on.
On your PC, extract the .ZIP files containing the two ROMs, and navigate to /system/app in your extracted Port ROM and copy stk.apk, vpnservices.apk, camera.apk, and bluetooth.apk into a temporary directory somewhere else on your PC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, delete the following folders from your Port ROM and replace them with the ones from your Base ROM: /data, /system/app, /system/framework, /system/fonts and /system/media.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From your Base ROM, copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so to the system/lib/ directory of your Port ROM, overwriting the file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next up, move the .APKs you copied earlier back into the /system/app directory of your Port ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open up /system/lib in your Port ROM and copy all the files and folders. Paste them into the Base’s /system/lib directory, replacing all. Then go back to the Port ROM and delete the /system/lib folder, and replace it with the /system/lib folder from the Base ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next, navigate to the /system/etc/init.d folder in the Port ROM and do the same copy-from-Port, paste-to-Base, delete-from-Port, copy-from-Base, paste-to-Port shuffle as before.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions and do that same copy-paste dance one more time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
open system/build.prop from both the port and the base ROM in Notepad++. Update the Base build.prop to match the values for “ro.build.description=” and “ro.build.fingerprint=” from your Port. Now save the Base build.prop, exit Notepad++, and copy the Base build.prop into the Port ROM, overwriting the Port build.prop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Finally, make sure that your kernel is specifically for your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, if you desire, you can update any apps you require, or add any tools like BusyBox or SuperSU.
And that’s it! Your base ROM is now ready to be zipped and installed on your device via Clockwork Mod!

Okay, question: what is the point of porting a ROM made for a device with the same CPU and same manufacturer?? there is VERY few phones that are made by the same company and the same cpu!
Click to expand...

Well that is to ensure "safety" when porting a ROM.. the guide i posted was a beginner's guide on how to port.. as you can see, almost 80% of the procedure is just basically copy&paste..
however, if you have a good background now in codes and porting things, i believe you may not follow step-by-step the procedures i stated above.

What about dual Sim ph?
Does anyone have any idea what would cause a "Modem Crashed Forced Upload Mode" on a port for SGS3?
I can't seem to pinpoint what causes that (I think it's a kernel panic but I could be wrong)
Looks like this would work on International Note 2 and Tmobile Note 2. They have the exact same hardware and everything. I was wondering about the last statement about kernel. Can't I just copy the boot.img from tmobile note 2 to international note 2 ? would that work ? I am not familiar with kernels and stuff. Need advice.
Thanks
I have modded a launcher and i think it should work on all Gb devices .
Some people reported that this launcher doesnt work on artix 4g running cm7 . Can someone from this forum try running this on your phone.
I dont think there is any risk of bootloops untill u do anything silly.

You can also try using the alternative method and installing the app with system app installer.
Plz let me know if this launcher works on your device!

You do realize the APK alone is not enough, right? I mean the thing comes with some external libs too, I'm sure there's a reason. So if you only install the APK and not the libs, you don't get to complain that it's not working.

You would need to use Fontchanger, but why would you want to get rid of Roboto? It's so clean and cool. It defines what Android is.

check the playstore and there should be apps to be able to change fonts without rooting
read this as well
http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-change-the-fonts-on-your-android-phone-32078/
safest way to change the fonts is using some 3rd party launcher.....
if u don't want to root and don't want to use 3rd party launcher... and try to use any app to change the font other than launcher,...
u may get into boot loop...so be very careful before doing this....
if you got into boot loop with out rooting... u may brick ur phone.....
I found this ROM for Mt788 which is the chinese Razr I (without 3g). Maybe it can help further development for XT890 or give a clue about the next update. I'm no dev so i hope that it helps.

I wonder if thats a leak, or just CM from hazu (or other rom with 4.2.2 goodies) recompiled for the chinese version.

This look really promissing. It is a newly compiled 4.2.2 medfield device. Hugh change that this will solve most problems on CM. But first need to try out. I hope I can get the sources from that person sometime.
