Sorry for the delay folks. I forgot my USB cable yesterday so I wasn't able to flash my phone (to verify changes) until last night.

Anyway, RC4 is now up. The changelog is by far the biggest, but most of the changes are behind the scenes.

All of the camera features now work (rename and 3D Gallery). LG Phone Settings was added, so the Fingerprint sensor lock is now accessible. I also added a few apps from the LG Fathom and made a bunch of custom icons.

Under LG Phone Settings, I found that Themes & Wallpapers needed more work. So for now it points to the Fingerprint Sensor settings.

Please let me know how it works for you.

You could call this ROM "Fresh Coffee" because it runs smooth.

Going to flash when I get home and will let you know how it goes. Very excited to resolve the no sound issue, thanks man!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Well, I've never experienced an issue where the sounds stops working after a while, so I couldn't say if this will fix your issue or not.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] doublearon:
I was using the Dragonstorm ROM previously, where I was having the sound issue. Your ROM works perfectly, and as an added bonus, the battery life is so much better. Thank you for breathing new life into my wife's phone. Way to go!

Keep up the development, I will update as long as you have new releases!

Thanks again!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I'm glad you like it.

Since I am uploading all of my source files and I have attempted to make my change logs very detailed, I'm hoping that other forum members will take it upon them selves to make Custom ROMs as well.

Has anyone tried the premium features of MyPhone with my ROM?

I was on the MyPhone site and decided to try them out (myphone.microsoft.com) The Phone's last know location worked great.

I then tried the free premium features but when I did the communications test, it failed. I would try it on a stock ROM, but apparently you can only try it twice per week.

I would like to get this working, if possible, but I will have to wait until next week to try it again.

I guess the first thing would be to make sure it works with a stock ROM. If it doesn't work with a stock ROM then it will likely not work with our phones.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Etaduck:
To be honest, I don't think I ever got the premium features to work even on the stock ROM. I remember I only tried a couple of times, but I never passed the whole ...sending test message... part of the process.

I just attempted it today after loading RC4, and it did sucessfully find and set up my phone, but I don't get the option for the free services, it takes me straight to the check out page to buy it. At some point I may do that. But for now, it seems to be working for me.

Only had a few hours on RC4, but seems stable, and I can't tell you how much I like having the finger print scanner working to unlock my phone. Thank you so much for putting that back on there.

Will report in later with more info once I get a change to play around with the new ROM.

Thanks again,

I just installed RC4 and loved so much about it, but I just couldn't get it to connect to AT&T on 3G. I saw this mentioned earlier I think on the first build you did so I went looking to see if there were any other posts about it but I couldn't find anything. Wondering if you've heard anyone else say this with RC4?

I love the ROM very clean and responsive but I'll lose my mind without 3G....

Thanks so much for keeping our phones alive and kicking.

Had a good couple days with the ROM. No issues until recently where the ROM will not go into the Phone portion of the OS after the phone is on for about 3 hours. Even pressing the hardware button to get there won't do anything. The phone icon is useless and it just acts as if there is no way to make a phone call. The only way to use it is to restart the phone. I installed SPB Mobile Shell and hoping that isn't the issue. Do you do a device wipe after installing the ROM?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Hmm, well I can't say that has ever happened to me. I would need to be able to re-create the issue in order to be of any help.

Does it happen with RC3? Does anyone else have this problem? Did it happen just the one time?

I generally don't do a hard reset after flashing, but it might be worth a try.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] woodhole:
Nice!...

Hey TrueG,

A big 'Thank You' goes out to you. Finally got around to flashing my IQ to RC4 last night and so far she's beautiful!!! All the little glitches that I had gotten use too are gone. I had been using one of Darks early versions of his ROMs tweaked and modified heavily but don't need any of the mods in this one.... so far ;)

I am running a modified version of SPB 3.5.5 (never liked the appearance of the original layout) and so far, I haven’t seen any lockup but it’s only been a day. I’ll report back in the next few if I see any changes. Again, great job and thank you!

Woodhole
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] doublearon:
Never tried RC3, only installed RC4.

I will wipe the device and see if that does anything. I haven't installed any apps, other than the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 - I will let you know how it goes.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] yuwenqingxi:
Thank you for your hard work, 6.5.3 is indeed more suitable for one-handed operation, expect the next rom release can be integrated MMS to address the light sensor and projector, video output problems, but also agps also very practical, looking forward to your excellent work

:p
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] warezxp:
There is no problem :) If you can't get automatically 3G network connection, then just instal this cab and go to phone setting into band setting and select 3G :)

By the way, great ROM very fast.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
The Band tab is already included in this ROM, so you shouldn't need to install it again.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Issues I have personally found are with the camera and sms.

Regarding the camera, it seems the first time you open it, the video is very choppy. If you flip to video and then back to photo again, it works properly again. I will have to see if I can figure this out for the next release.

Regarding text messaging, occasionally it seems to hang if you try to exit text messaging right after sending a message. I think it might have done this with RC3 as well. This might be tough to fix if I can't reliably reproduce the problem. :(

yuwenqingxi, can you please describe the problems you are having with video output and projector? I don't have the ability to test either feature, so I have no idea how well they work.

As for the light sensor, can you tell me what aspect is not working? Auto backlight is turned on by default and it seems to work just fine.

Thanks,

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I think I may have replicated your problem. I installed SPB Mobile Shell for testing. After a day the phone became un-responsive. I had a call come in, but the dialer would not come up and I couldn't answer the phone. I had to soft reset my phone to call the person back.

It appears to only happen with SPB Mobile Shell. A good test would be to see if the problem happens with Dark's 23139 ROM. It would also be good to know if it happens with the stock ROM and CAL RC1, RC2 or RC3.

LG Fathom VS750 rom

TrueG,

Is it possible to put your build on an LG Fathom/VS750?

I can pay up to $4,500; half for the 1st rom, the remaining on the final

stable one. I sent you a message to your blog, please contact me

at your earliest convenience.

Regards,

Jason P
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
No, this ROM would not work on a VS750. If there was a VS750 kitchen, it would be pretty easy to port it over since the phones are very similar.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Etaduck:
So far so good. Everything seems to be working well, did do a clean wipe after the install, seemed to clean up some minor issues. The only issue I have is with the function lock key staying on for an extra key stroke, before returning to normal.

Also, is the ROM missing Bluetooth drivers? I've never done it before but I was looking to use Bluetooth pan to share my network connection and don't see that option anymore.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Ya, I've noticed that about the function key as well. Very annoying. I will have to try and look into that. I'm not sure how it functioned on the Fathom.

No, Bluetooth works just fine. I've used it to connect to my PC for activesync and file transfers as well as using my BT headset. Were you trying to use Internet Sharing with Bluetooth?

Because of the funny way Bluetooth is implemented, you can't use the built in Internet Sharing app to share your connection over Bluetooth. Broadcom's solution was to create a new Internet Sharing app and use it to replace the built in one. It is called IntShr.exe and you can find it in \Windows\. It is part of the Bluetooth package, but I had a problem getting it to work, so I don't have a shortcut to it in the Start Menu.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I have been able to get a hold of a LG Fathom and it appears that Bluetooth PAN and Internet Sharing over Bluetooth doesn't work with the version of Bluetooth included with the Fathom.

Since I use the Fathom Bluetooth in this ROM, that would explain why it doesn't work. If this is important to anyone, I can revert Bluetooth back to the LG Monaco version in RC5.

The function key does not stay on for an extra stroke on the Fathom, so it is either a problem with using the Fathom SIP on the Monaco or it's a setting that I missed.

Hi !

For me doesn't work projector. How resolve this problem ?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
That will be tricky to fix since I don't have a projector to test. You may not be able to use this ROM if you need projector functionality.

I was hoping other cooks might post some ROMs, but that hasn't happened yet.

If I have time, I was thinking of posting a different ROM. One that would contain most of the original files, but have many of the same customizations as this ROM. It may not be as quick since I wouldn't be able to leave it uncompressed, but everything should be functional (since only selected files would be removed).

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] warezxp:
Too shame :( your ROM was really fast ! So now I must go back to Dark ROM.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] alejandroborja:
With this rom the projector doesnt work?

Hi friends, I try this rom in my LG EXPO, and runs great, very fast and stable, but the PROJECTOR doesnt work !!

Any person have only the CAB to install the projector??? thanks
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
My approach to creating this ROM was to start with the bare minimum and add back in anything missing so that the ROM would be as clean as possible.

That means there are probably some DLL's and/or resources missing that the projector needs. Since I don't have a projector, I am not able to determine which files those are.

I am planning on releasing another ROM which takes the opposite approach. That is to start with everything and remove the files that I know are not needed, keeping everything else. It would be bigger and probably not as quick, but the projector would work.

I have a lot going on right now, but hopefully I can get that up in the next week.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Etaduck:
Thanks for the info about the blue tooth, figured it was something like that, I don't use it very often, more just wanted to try it out.

As for the ROM, haven't noticed anything with the light sensor, seems to work well for me, and the whole ROM in general is working well. Just that fn lock, but I'm gettting use to it. I don't know about doing the other approach. If people want the projector to work just use Dragonstorms ROM, which did what you discussed. Removed what was possible. This ROM is quick and work's well and was much neeeded

Thanks again for all your work and breathing life into my phone again.

Fn lock

I really like the way you can double press the Fn key to get Fn lock, which I find quicker and more reliable than pressing and holding the Fn key, but I also notice that the Fn effect stays on for one keystroke after the Fn status indicator is cleared. The other oddness with the hardware keyboard is reversal of - and _. Otherwise, this RC4 ROM is awesome: wonderfully fast, clean, and stable.

Thanks so much for your work!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I'm glad you guys like it.

arcspeak, are you sure the keys are switched?

the dash key "-" should be where the "F" key is.

the underscore key "_" is where the "O" key is.

They appear to be in the correct place on my phone.

***

I now also have a LG Fathom. The Internet Sharing over Bluetooth does not work on the Fathom, that is why it does not work in this ROM. I could fix it by reverting to the Monaco Bluetooth software.

Regarding the text messaging delays I was noticing. It appears to be a problem with Windows Mobile. If you have too many text messages from one person, it hangs a little when you exit conversation mode with that person. I noticed the problem after restoring my old text messages with MyPhone. After deleting the conversation (deleting all of the old messages from that person) the delay went away.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] arcspeak:
Yes, I'm definitely consistently getting a dash "-" from Fn-F and an underscore "_" from Fn-O. I've never seen it with other ROMs.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
If you are consistently getting a dash "-" from Fn+F and an underscore "_" from Fn+O then it is working correctly.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] arcspeak:
Sorry, I typed it backwards, I'm consistsently getting a dash from Fn+O and underscore from Fn+F.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I don't know. I have a ton of stuff on the go right now (my poor site hasn't been updated in a month).

I haven't found many issues or things I want to change with RC4 so if I did release a RC5 it would probably be final and it would only have a few minor changes. The biggest annoyance for me is that the Fn key seems to stick for one extra character, but I'm not sure how to fix that. A different SIP would correct the problem, but I like this one. :(

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Since Windows Mobile does not support MMS natively , you have to add a 3rd party solution. That was something that I was going to add in the future.

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] treborxoxo:
I just flashed RC4 yesterday and very excited about it because it's just what I needed as it's very smooth.... "Fresh Coffee" - nice doublearon.

But furthermore I'm more excited about the final RC5 due to the MMS support. I noticed last night that I'm also experiencing the same issue where I'm not receiving any MMS messages.

My question to you TrueG would be if you may have an estimated time frame on it's release?

In the meantime, what could be the quick fix, the 3rd party solution that you were referring to?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
This works fine for MMS if you know your carriers MMS settings (they may also be posted here on XDA).

http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/arcsoft-5-2-8-45-qvgawvgavga-gsm-or-cdma-hybrid/

I never use MMS (costs me 50 cents per message), so I've never been in a hurry to add it (also since it requires 3rd party software).

I've been busy with a ton of stuff lately, including a new ROM for the LG Fathom. The method of flashing is tricky and requires hacked software so I'm not sure how to go about releasing it (spocky made it all happen). Between that, riding my motorcycle (practicing for driving test), Karate, 2nd job and family obligations I'm stretched a little thin. :(

TrueG
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Etaduck:
Thanks for the suggestion. Haven't had a chance to test it out, but I did install it and I'll report back later.

I wasn't sure if it would work, I sent out the picture form the camera app, but when looking at the actual text, there was no option to insert anything. I don't send to many, but it is a nice option to have.

Thank You TrueG - This is amazing

TrueG - I really hated this phone (GW825) and I suspect I bought it at the very end of it's lifespan as they announced the Windows 7 phones less than a month after I got this.

I ran your update and all I can say is that you've completely reinvigorated my phone. So far I have zero issues with the update. It seems to work flawlessly - and what I'm loving especially is that you've built it to not need the stylus - as my stylus broke within a few months of owning the phone (very cheaply made).

I can't thank you enough for helping me ride out my contract in a much more civilized manor - and if you're still developing this at all - I'll definitely try RC5 when it's ready.

Cheers! Don in Canada.

ADo I have to do anything special to get activesync via bluetooth to work? I was synced on stock ROM but with this rom the activesync always fails. The only thing I find different is in this ROM i get many options for bluetooth services whereas in stock rom there was no choice as far as I can remember.

After a couple failures i selected activesync service only, and in WMDC allowed connection via "bluetooth", still no luck. I think it's selecting wrong port but not sure how to fix it. On my PC activesync doesn't show up in the list of services available on the phone.

EDIT: And TrueG, thanks for following up on the other thread even after it's been so long. I have researched android and WP7 enough to only come back to WM6.5 as my second device. And this ROM totally makes it worthwhile. lack of options on WP7 and fragmentation on android are something i don't need to deal with.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Well as far as I can remember there wasn't a problem, but it's been almost a year since I used my eXpo and 6 months since I have used Windows Mobile.

OK, one more issue. after a couple complete drains overnight, I set my phone to turn off in a minute of inctivity whether on power or battery. but I have observed sometimes my phone wakes up and never goes back to sleep until I press the off button.

1. is there a utility to find out what's waking up my phone, some kind of a log?

2. what could prevent it from shutting off after a minute?

I have installed following things that run at startup, and suspect one of them.

AMEBA,

MSAUDODATACONFIG - was already there I guess

CYBERON VC

POUTLOOK - was already there.
