Do a full wipe & format /system before first flash!

Overclock:

To enable overclock you need a kernel that supports the OC like ezterry's one and the ICS bootloader, so if you want to get the overclock on this ROM that has a stock zImage (kernel) you need to go HERE and download ezterry's kernel, flash it though recovery and enjoy the overclocked lightspeed by setting the CPU frequency with your prefered OC app (setcpu, tegrak, etc..).
​

Bootloader:

As Skrillax_CZ's unlocked bootloader allows some customizations I made a version for Lightspeed ROM, if you want you can flash it through CMW as a normal update.zip and on boot you'll see this.

(It works only if you yet have the unlocked bootloader >=V6!)

ICS Modules If you have trouble with the one in the ROM! @jakubklos

If you find my ROM usefull consider to make a donation, so I can continue spend my time in front of the Iconia and the PC, instead of search money to pay my new study in Computer Engineering.
