Reborn ROM for the LG Optimus S

Android developer Nick7 would like to introduce the Reborn ROM for the LG Optimus S. He has pulled some of the best features from ThunderROM and nROM and created a high-performance ROM for the Optimus S that is very reliable.

Requirements

Your phone must be rooted, have a custom recovery, and be running the VD baseband. No exceptions. Anything less and the ROM won't work properly. To check baseband, go to Menu > Settings > About phone > Baseband version. It should end with VD. Any questions pertaining to rooting should go to the [How-To] root thread. If you are already rooted and just need to update your baseband, go to the [How-To] Update Baseband thread.

Features/Changelog

+ Other

Known Issues

The launcher doesn't play nice with different LCD density's because the PNG's do not scale. Default density is 160. If you'd like to change your density you will need to use a different launcher/home replacement. This is not something we are looking into changing.

For more information, download links, and especially to thank the developers, visit the Reborn ROM thread in the Android Central forums.
