Untuk menggunakan AOKP Final Edition vol.3 di Hanheld GT-540 Optimus anda, anda harus memiliki setidaknya partisi sistem sebasar 165 MB

Link Download LG GT 540 ROM 4.0.4 Android Open Kang Project

Recovery (vol.2): Senspace gt540-aokp-finaledition-vol2.zip atau 4shared GT540_AOKP_FinalEdition_vol2.zip

Fitur Ekstra lain yang bisa di tambahkan untuk LG GT-540

DevSwifts kernel - Anda bisa mencoba Original ROM kernel DevSwift_kernel.zip tetapi mungkin beberapa fitur tidak bekerja sebagaimana mestinya. Jika ingin kembali menggunkan kernel milik Miroslav anda tinggal Flashing dengan file Restore_Miroslav_kernel.zip.

BTDialingFix - Gunakan jika memang anda menggunakan headset bluetoth untuk melakukan panggilan.

12dalvikcache.txt - Rename dulu menjadi 12dalvikcache saja tanpa ekstensi txt, pindahkan ke system/etc/init.d dan rubah file permissionnya. Reboot. Script ini menciptakan folder dalvik-cache dalam cache partition dan memindahkan dalvik-cache milik aplikasi system. Dengan ini anda punya ruang tambahan dalam ROM untuk meng-install aplikasi. Dan anda perlu hati-hati saat menghapus dalvik-cache ketika dalam mode recovery.

Memory_optimizer - Download dari XDA Flash dengan CWM setelah Install cusrom.

DSPManager - Fitur ini dibuang dari ROM untuk menambah perfoerma, hanya jika anda membutuhkan saja. Bawaan dari ROM ICS: MusicFX from sudah bagus saat digunakan dengan Music Playr default.

wpa_supplicant_adhoc & wpa_supplicant_standard - untuk Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi. dan jika HH anda tidak bisa menemukan AP Wi-Fi

key_original - untuk mengembalikan fungsi tombol sesuai fungsi aslinya.

Di adaptasi dari thread forum XDA di sini.

Aplikasi Asus Launcher ini sudah beberapa kali di-update. Besar file apk update terakhir file apk-nya sekitar 6 MB.
Untuk update terakhir, ada fitur yang ditambahkan yakni adanya Smart Folder. Selain itu interface juga lebih ringkas.

The International version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, also known as SM-N9005, has just received a OTA Software update from Samsung firmware verison UDMJ6 which is approx about 116MB and includes a fix to the reactivation lock.

After the update, Galaxy Note 3 users will now be able to reactivate the direct pen input and the one-handed windowed mode after setting up their device to work with the Pebble smartwatch. Lastly, the update brings some changes to the virtual QWERTY keyboard.
