ICS 4.03 Lockscreen in LG Optimus 2x SU660

This is the ultimate guide on how to install the latest Cyanogenmod 9.0 RC Ice Cream Sandwich ICS 4.0.3 on Korean Version of LG Optimus 2x (SU660)
 Requirements:

    Extract the the cwm-5.0.2.7-su660-20111121.zip file to drive c:\
    I'll refer to this as C:\NV, but you can name it anything you like. Power off your phone and remove the battery. If you are using a desktop computer, plug the full-size USB-plug directly into a port on the motherboard (backside of the case usually). Press and hold volume-up AND volume-down while plugging the micro-USB into the phone. 

    Browse the c:\NV folder and click on flash-recovery.bat (if you are using Windows 7) or flash-recovery_xp.bat (If you are using Windows XP) and then choose option #1

    The phone will display a Software-upgrade-screen, while the command-window will inform you of the progress. After a little while it'll be finished and you can press any key to exit. (Now, where's that 'any'-key again?) Just to be safe, wait another 10 seconds before removing the usb-cable from the phone, cutting its power. Now install the battery again.

1.) Download  Nova HD RC10 (Cynagenmod 9) modified for Optimus 2x SU660 and put the zip file in your SD Card

Choose «Install Zip from sdcard» (by navigating to it with the volume-buttons, then select it with the power-button) then «choose zip from sdcard». Navigate to where you put NovaHDPlus_RC10_SU660.zip, select it and confirm
 4.) After the rom is installed, DON"T REBOOT YOUR PHONE, instead go back to Choose «Install Zip from sdcard and this time, select ICS_Kernel_SU660.zip, after ICS 4.03 kernel for SU660 is installed, reboot your phone.  Please wait for few minutes as your LG Optimus 2x SU660 (Korean version) upgrades to Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS  4.03) during the startup, the first startup make take a longer to load.

Solution: Click on the notification, "Touch for other USB option" and choose "select as Media Device" (MTP)
