Looking at that list, anyone would think LG developers have been reading the discussions here and over on XDA!
Just about everything on it has been highlighted, requested or fixed already by users here or there - if it all works it will be a huge improvement.
I might even switch back from CM7 to try it out

I agree that it does indeed look like it. Maybe LG decided to actually listen and read through its customers' comments/findings/bugs/solutions instead of doing.. eehmm.. absolutely nothing in respect!

This changelog was also confirmed in official LG Italy page on FB: http://it-it.faceboo...150495482944897

(of course they did not write that this changelog is related to leaked V20O but that LG Italy is testing a new rom with such improvements)

I hope GR6 will be at based at least on this leaked rom, would be a nice Christmas present

Installed the rebuild of the V20o from XDA yesterday and looks quite good. I was getting a little sick of the slowdown issues that eventually started showing up on GR5 and also the wifi and network connectivity issues. I miss the customizability that Paul's kitchen offers though and hope that he will get time to work on GR6 soon. There also seems to be hints by Hell_97 on XDA that there will be a final/stable version to follow so maybe Paul is waiting for that.

[Macheath]

Tell me please, is V20o nice to use? (Compared to V20L)
Speed? Bugs? Scrolling?

[F4113n]

Yeah i also tested this new version and choose to stay in older v20L because it have much more better signals and mobile network and phone calls work much better. Ill wait untill LG ICS is out or CM9

So far I've been finding it good but to be honest I haven't had the chance to test the network as I've been home all day but at least I haven't had issues like wifi connectivity that I occasionally found on GR5.

No issues with scrolling etc yet and everything seems to be working fine but considering that it is just a stock LG version I am using with minimal optimisation I'm sure it will improve once some work is done on it. I've installed it as a stop gap until I can get a GR6 but wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a daily driver. Only issue is that due to Hell_97s rebuild, it auto converts to EXT3 and wipes when it would have been much better to just install it over GR5.

Well.. because o2x stock kernel only supports ext3, so if you're on anything other than stock kernel, then most probably you're not using ext3 so converting process will require a wipe of the /system and /data partition. If you're using stock kernel, then you can request for a non-wipe version, which i think somebody already made it over at xda.

Cheers!

Thanks mate, I know why the autoconvert feature has been added, I was just commenting that it is a pity everyone is having to do it due to the way the ROM has been set up by Hell_97 as I'd rather have used that. BTW could you post a link to where a non wipe version can be found? I tried searching but couldn't find it.

[PaulOBrien]

That's a lot of changes!

I'll see if I can grab it...

+1 to the above posts

It'd be great to have gr6 to tide us over until LG starts leaking ICS builds.

Thanks Paul

Have to admit to being somewhat disappointed at the lack of attention shown to us O2x users.

Not even a reply on this or the kitchen thread.....
