[Optimus V Android Development] TauSigmaNova:
Hey guys! Today, I bring to you the ROM that I have been working on for the last few days. This is my first venture into actually editing android, aside from flashing ROMs and the like. Unless you live under a rock, pineapple, cardboard box, or the like, you have most likely heard about Android 4.1, also known as Jellybean!

(Looks yummy, right! I sure think so!)

After reading and watching videos about this new OS, I did get excited, but how would someone like me- A young, ambitious, unskilled developer-wannabe get a brand new OS working on our elderly, AOSP unsupported ARMv6 Optimus V?

The next best thing- something we already have; Android 4.0.4 aka Ice Cream Sandwich!

I spent the next week schmoozing through the internet for files related to 4.1-Apps, Wallpapers, ROMs, anything I can find.

I ended up with this- a half way attempt to get CM9 to look and function a bit like Jellybean! Welcome to Vanillabean! (Vanillabean= A mixture of Ice Cream [Ice Cream Sandwich with Vanilla Ice Cream] and Jellybeans!)

>Included<

>Galaxy Nexus Android 4.1 BootAnimation

>Various Jellybean apps- Updated Gallery, Email, Calculator, Contacts, Market, etc. New apps: Currents, Google Ears, etc.

NOTE- Google Now (The new pretty search) is not included, I couldn't get it to work but I will try to have it by the next update!

>Themed Trebuchet, System UI, and Framework APKs by ANDROIDCUSTOMIZe on XDA-Developers. (I've had trouble decompiling/recompiling ICS's Framework-res.apk myself and could not edit them with as such. Ninjamorph editing sent me into a bootloop, also. As soon as I figure this out I'll add newer lockscreen and such bitmaps AND ill see if I can get the cool new Transition animations from Jellybean!)

>Updated Jellybean fonts

>Jellybean wallpapers! (All 12!)

>Bugs :(

>Nav bar in Lockscreen has no buttons until unlocked (or until the status bar is pulled down)

>Nav bar sometimes "cramps" screen as it takes up valuable screen real estate. Will try to disable it since we have working hard keys- Unless you guys want me to keep it in.

>Status bar text color is still cyan/blue, not gray. Working on it.

>Possibly more, please note any you find in the comments!!!

>Lockscreen handle when pressed is a bit small

>Have not really edited build.prop. WIll figure out and fix. NEXT UPDATE WILL HAVE AN UPDATED VERSION OF QUATTRIMUS. IF ENOUGH ASK FOR IT, I WILL MAKE AN AOKP VERSION!

Working

>Most things- Camera, Wifi, USB, 3G,

Not working

>Anything in Quattrimus.

Camcorder issues

Full HW acceleration.

>Extras
