Since LG won't release ICS, why not skip ahead a bit and start adding Jelly Bean stuff to GB. Attached are some of the things you can use right away. You must have root.
If you don't follow these instructions properly, it's not my fault if you screw something up. Best to make a nandroid backup before you proceed, mmkay?
Boot animation:
Copy to /system/media, permissions 0644. Might look a little weird since it's 640x640, but you can't have everything on the first day JB's released
Play Store:
Install, done. Or, copy to /system/app, permissions 0644.
It's for US, so not all of the changes will be here. Most notably, you can't buy movies out of US yet (the option will not be there).
Fonts:
Extract the fonts, copy to /system/fonts, permissions 0644, rename to DroidSans.ttf (rename the original to DroidSans.ttf.bak or something) or symlink it to DroidSans.ttf. Do the same for the bold and italic fonts.
Added both Roboto and RobotoCondensed, as well as some more. You can only use Roboto or RobotoCondensed at any one time, you can't have your cake and eat it too
Wallpapers:
Extract them, paste them somewhere, open in gallery, set as wallpaper.
Now, doublecheck your permissions. Failure to set permissions correctly may result in bootloops.
After all that, reboot to enjoy.
PS. All of the zips are not flashable zips, don't even try flashing them.
Which. Ones can I flash?

You can extract the fonts.zip and the wallpapers.zip.
The bootanimation.zip goes in "/data/local"
The Vending.apk goes in "/system/app"

That's the Jellybean Play Store.
It adds "Magazines" and the ability to buy movies instead of renting.

My boot animation.zip is in system/media.I have seen both used ..I'm curious now which would load if I put a diff in each spot...might have to try..
Update: the answer is local/data loaded boot animation when there was one in each spot...however the actual jellybean animation is loading but not displaying right for me ....just some graphics flashing for a sec then black screen til boot...same happened when I replaced file in system media. I think zip is corrupted.

Mods, please sticky.
I'm getting tired of asking for APKs of stock files, so I have ripped apart the original system.img, and uploaded it to my MediaFire. This should contain all of the APKs from /system/app. Upon request, I'll rip some other ROMs apart and upload the apps from them onto MediaFire.
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=...0a80bbfd46652c42972c62268198c95645c60d3adceb4
You can also just download the slidemeroot.zip rom, which is everything stock and copy the apk's right out of the zip file.
But now you don't have to download the entire ROM for a single APK.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I also have all of the stock apk's uploaded on my web server, but it's probably not a good idea to be redistributing them for anyone to download. Something about distribution of copyrighted works... etc...

It's the ROM. I believe I either unyaffs'd or flashed, and pulled before booting the first time. I just re-unyaffs'd again to make sure, and yes, most, if not all, apps go have an odex.

We'll see what happens, but, like I said, I doubt the mods would ask everyone to remove their cooked ROMs containing any APKs.

Download one of the stock/ota roms. They're in the system/media/audio folder.
How do I unpack the IMG file inside the zipfile?

This is my latest android boot animation.
There are two versions.
One with intro and loop
One with the whole animation in loop
Tell which one you like more.
Files can be found here
Hope you like it. If so, use thank button or donation (I'll appreciate it. LOL)
Both look similar but will go for the second one cheers mate
PS - can i just flash this via CWM?
They are the same. I couldn't decide if I liked the whole animation keep looping or just the final part with the Android text
as a loop

Miui can change boot screens through the theme Chooser without having to use root explorer but I think it uses mtz files. Do you mind if I ask if anyone can make a miui version of your boot?

Just wanted to share all these with you guys. I'm not gonna be able to upload any screenshots because there are just too many.
Zip file contains:
144 WidgetLocker Themes
DISCLAIMER:
I did NOT make any of these themes and take no credit for them! These are simply themes that I have collected over time from around here on XDA and from other various websites.
*NOTE*
If you want to make your own theme, just edit the images in one of the zip files. Rezip and copy/paste to the folder mentioned above. It's really that easy lol.
If you don't know how to install these:
Download and extract the zip file.
Copy and paste all zip files onto your INTERNAL sdcard and make sure you put them in this folder:
Code:
/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes
Once you do that, reboot and now you will have 144 WidgetLocker Themes available. Obviously though you have to have the WidgetLocker App for this to work. Which can be found here for only $2.99
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
DOWNLOAD:
WidgetLocker Themes
I will add more to the zip file as I get more collected.
Excellent Hicks!
There was a themes folder inside of the folder you posted. Do I just put all the zip files in that one or do I need to unzip and put the actual folders in that themes folder that is there?

If someone wants to get it from there and rehost it.

MegaCloud
DropBox
SkyDrive
Those are the links, please tell me which ones work or not, first time setting it up, just so I know I did them wrong
On another note I used AirDroid app to move them to the right directory, really easy and fast.
One of my favorite boot animations. Resized for our tablets.
Copy to /system/media and reboot. You need root access to copy this. Most people use root explorer for this. This is only for aosp roms such as AOKP / CM10 and the like. Not for stock roms!!

You can backup the old boot animation on the sd card, or rename it to something that dont mess up with the new one.

OP updated with resized animation.
I have been working on this a bit and have failed at it miserably.
I'm trying to get this animation onto my tab:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20788-bo...ic-old-skool-arcade-title-screen/page__st__10
Ideally I'd like to get it running in "portrait" mode, which I think means all the images need to be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
I haven't managed to succeed, only make my tab not display anything on screen anymore in landscape mode, and display only like 1/3rd of the screen in portrait mode.
That was fun to fix LOL.
Anyways, any suggestions? It seems like this should be easy!
Looks great! I'm about to try.
