[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] DorkyDev:
How do you download this?:confused:
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] einsteinecker:
So, just got my Fathom in the mail yesterday, wow, I love this phone. I had used an HD2 when that came out but had to give it back because capacitive screens don't like me, and this Fathom is a great upgrade from my Epix, since I'm a hardware keyboard dude :D

So, once I familiarize myself with this phone, I need to unlock the sim slot, and then onto to cooking! Hopefully WM and Android will work, but there's this:

I'd like to know too. Should I should download the repository as a zip and work from there?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] pizzaboy192:
There's some ebay sellers that seem to work with SIM Unlock. They're about USD $10.

As to Android, I would suggest download the whole thing and run the .sh files on a linux setup to build them into the propoer files needed for booting the Fathom into Android.

If that doesn't work, I have some Android builds laying around somewhere for the Fathom that I could probably upload to give as a starting point.

Hope that helps
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Yeah, I saw a link to this seller here at XDA, I suppose some of you folks bought from them? :)

Oh, I need linux to build the ROM? That might not be possible.

If you can upload those builds you have, that would help, as I'm more familiar with looking at existing builds before starting from scratch.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Thanks for the help guys (and thank you for the git link ajeet), and I've started evaluating my options, but before I was going to begin, I pm'ed www2287 about that last update he was working on, unfortunately I haven't gotten a reply. I've waited for a few days already, but with no response, I guess I'm going to have to forgo the accelerometer for now. I was hoping to combine both ajeet's work with www2287's, but I guess I'll just have to go with the former.

My priorities are: disabling those Google apps that drain battery, keyboard slide-out reliability, keyboard key fixes, well, basically I want the keyboard as fully functional as possible, and power button support.

Now, I've spent some time looking all over the forum for information, and whether or not I can use Windows to build ROMs, and other stuff. One thing I noticed was that the Toshiba TG01 Android port has a working power button, so that doesn't sound impossible for our Fathoms. I've also spent a great deal of time testing battery life while using Android on the Fathom, and I think I have a good enough idea how to do this.

It would suck if I ultimately need to use Linux to fix these Android builds, so I would like to remind everyone that I make no promises of releases, but I will say that I will do what I can and I definitely do not intend to disappear and leave everyone's hopes hanging from the sky. If I cannot do it, I will not be afraid to let everyone know. And if I did it, you can bet I will share it for all to enjoy :)

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hi everyone, I've been meaning to post earlier but my health was bad over the weekend, and when I logged in this morning my ISP was dead, with no reason why (probably maintenance, they should at least tell me) :( Now I'm on EDGE thanks to them.

But I have good news! I have solved one problem with Android on our Fathoms, and it's a good one: the battery drain.

Do you guys remember Ajeet's 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread builds? On my phone, whenever I put the device on standby, it would be warm, and for 2.3, it was slow. At first I thought it was Google apps running in the background, but I close them, they don't run, but the battery still drained and the device was warm.

The problem with the Android build is a function called the CPU governor. Ajeet's 2.2 build was configured to be very fast (CPU on high even on standby), while on 2.3, the governor was set to "power save", the reason why it was slow.

To fix battery drain on Ajeet's Android 2.2, to speed up 2.3:

1. Search online "SetCPU". I will not post links due to XDA rules (do not post links here!). You will find it when you search on Google :)

2. Copy apk to MicroSD, and launch Android build.

3. Our devices are rooted, if not, search for "Superuser".

4. On Android, use file explorer to install "SetCPU".

5. Open SetCPU, on 2.2 I set to "Conservative", on 2.3 change to "Conservative" as well.

6. Congratulations, device should no longer be warm when on standby, and 2.3 will be faster (I play Strike Fleet Omega and Destroy GunnerSP, very fun games and good speed!)

I want everyone to try this with different settings, and tell me how your battery is. My battery on my Fathom was bad due to amount of time it took to ship to me, but with SetCPU, I only lose 20-30% overnight compared to dead phone without SetCPU. So, if your battery is better than mine, you will have better battery life than me! I forgot to mention that changing the governor also fixes the problem where, if you charge the phone while using it, the phone used to crash, now you can play a game/watch video while charging! (don't forget to make sure the phone does not get too hot :victory:)

Next step is to fix kernel, that is where the final Battery fix should be.

Hi, have you tried this build?

Hey guys while the 3g services of idea is in roaming of airtel network, ussd code seems to work with R sign over the bars and also calls can be made. Kindly look into this and also when the connection sets up, it automatically downloaded the internet settings. So, my doubt is verizon seems to provide global support with roaming (which i understood from reading their manual) because of the roaming support for cdma connection of verizon, the kernel or something might be unlocked so that it can be helpful to do tweaking in the roaming situation because according to me it seems like the connection is unlocked because of connection was in roaming. I'm just giving an idea think over it guys. I know nothing about coding but although fan of fathom, so i discussed here. Kindly reply ajeet bhai.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] pizzaboy192:
Nobody has unlocked the bootloader to flash any custom ROMs yet.

As for WP7, you need 8gb of onboard storage. The Fathom has 256MB. won't work.

As for anything else, we're stuck with boothing off an SD card until a way to flash shows up.

Glad to hear the patch is working. I"ve got a new one out, works better. Even have a T-Mobile one working.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] jaggu5789:

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] el_venga:
pizzaboy said, and most of us know that, you cant install wp7 on a device with 256mb of ram. there are custom roms for expo, so you must be talking about fathom, if theres a stock firmware and uses same method as expo it could be done.

Nobody has put the time into making a custom Fathom rom. I would really appreciate someone putting some time in and making a stable one so I could flash away my Arcsoft and gain some more RAM. (Heck, flash out alot of the carrier crap, and hope someone comes up with a kitchen that allows me to pre-install some of my apps, pre-regged and whatnot)

It does flash the same as the expo I think (We use the expo flasher to force flash the Fathom down to the V5 rom, since the V7 one was so bad)

The touchscreen on your port is smooth, I couldnt get the wifi to work because the spl chars on keyboard was all scrambled. SO i couldnt type "/" on the term emu. Hopefullly today I can get it working with your update. Cant wait to go back home and try this one.
