Use LGKS360 Utils it partially works.

It can extract kdz and wdb.

During extraction it at one point it asks for firmware ver - thats it !

I can't go any further bcoz I can't seems to find firmware ver.

But its not impossible to extract CP and AP bin files so that we can use with SFT.

hey, i have a 3.7v regular stock battery and i am running CleanRom 4.1. im currently having either bad battery life, or average battery life..im not quite sure. what is the average battery life you guys get and what have you done, if you have don anything, to maximize your battery life?

also, is the 1800 extended battery worth it? post pics of stats if youd like as well!
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
There are whole threads in the accessories forums about the battery and peoples experiences with it.

[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I'm in the same boat as you. I have the 3.7V battery. I'm running the same ROM. I've been getting about 6 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use. What are you getting.
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
LOL!!!!!!!! :D
[HTC Rezound] Esandorf:
I was having terrible battery life also but then I used Scott's super wipe tool and re-flashed CleanRom 1.7.5 and the sd card fix. Now my battery life is great again. I think most of the credit goes to the super wipe tool and gingerbread. When I used Scott's CleanRom 4.1 I DID wipe everything before flashing but I think I missed some things. Anyway maybe give that a try...

Edit: Scott is testing a kernel in the dev forum to. Try and address these issues, take a look
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderNet:
Hey guys. Just to preface, I'm running MIUIUS-ICS-EN-MECHA by DroidVicious. I really wanted to create a custom boot animation, so like everyone else, I went to the forms.

Because I just made my account here, xda won't allow me to post the link to the thread I used into this post. You can find it by typing in "create custom boot animation android" into google. It is the first link that comes up.

After creating all the files and .png images in the right places, I realized that my phone doesn't have the the "system" folder on the SD card. I think this might be because of MIUI's ability to change the boot animation inside the "theme" settings. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out with this.

Things I've tried:

Placing it in the root of SD card and installing .zip from SD card through recovery

Importing to the MIUI "theme" settings under boot animation.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpyazel:
You usually don't install boot animations that way. On most roms the current boot animation is located at /system/media/bootanimation.zip, not on the sdcard. And you just use a file explorer app to copy it from your sdcard to that location and overwrite the old one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderNet:
Well that's the problem... I can find the system/bootanimation. that's why I was wondering if maybe it was different for MIUI. Thanks for the reply.

so I see that excessive roaming will prompt sprint to give you the boot with no warning but how does it work with family plans. if one person on the plan roams too much does the entire account get canceled or just that one phone number?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Just the line that abused it. Also the send you a letter telling you to stop first

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
I got a letter from Sprint myself after I messed with my RTSP and HTTPD server settings. I read an article about speeding up network access like at my desk at work on an AT&T (roaming) network. After about 2 weeks of enjoying better coverage and speeds, I got a love letter from Sprint. :(

At first I had no clue, then I remembered I had messed with those settings. Turns out I was ONLY roaming with them. So now I put them back to stock and no issues with Sprint.

Actually, on Calkulins latest v1.2 ICS Rom, with the FC18 modem, I get 3G at my work where I only had a 1X network data connection before!;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
thanks for the info
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Different devices, different areas, and different radios all play a part in your signal strength. There is not a one-size-fits-all, so try different modems, using each one a couple of days, and keep an eye on your signal strength.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Not sure what you mean by "it"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iball8888:
Wait...what does roaming mean in this case? I am going to get this phone soon, and I have been out of the loop for this community for a few months now. Is roaming a term for something mod related or does it just mean being in a roaming area.

My concern is that when I had the Epic, I rode the subway everyday and every 3 seconds my phone says "You are roaming" and does the annoying sound and screen, have they disabled this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
It just means you are using another carrier's tower, not Sprint's... The default Sprint proxy settings on the phone are fine, but you can hack them and get into trouble if you do this. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
I know this thread is somewhat old, but I wanted to share that the second letter I recently received from Sprint was one informing me that my account WILL be terminated as of July 17th.

I tried numerous times to explain that when I am at work, I am ALWAYS on roaming data. I use WiFi at home, so the only time I typically user Sprint 3G is during my commute. They said there were NO exceptions and the decision comes from Corporate and is FINAL. 18 years with my company and 8 in good standing with Sprint on different phones... And they axed me! My Epic 4G Touch apparently is rather data hungry...

So beware, peeps...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
You have be roaming at least 75% of the time (not an exact number, just ballpark) in order for Sprint to boot you.

Basically, while you're roaming, Sprint is having to pay the other carrier for your usage. If you're using the other network more than Sprint, it's not profitable to keep you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
Last I heard it was 300MB of roaming then they send the letter. Do it again over that limit and you get the boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Yes, the letter says 300MB or the majority of 3G data. There were 2 months since November 2011 where

My roaming data % was more than non-roaming.

The thing that kills me is that my usage pattern hadn't changed across the last 3 phones I've had with them. The Google Play Store and all the apps connecting in the background had changed my consumption no doubt...

My E4GT is my first Android phone though, and they even made me pay an extra $10 per month for "premium data" with this phone because it is a "smartphone" (just like my previous Blackberry Curve)!

Wtf? Faaaaaaaq Sprint

Sent from somewhere in Galaxy SII...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Do they make you pay an ETF when they do this? I know for most, roaming isn't an issue but some are on the edge of the network and are more likely to roam. Would kind of suck if they had to pay an ETF.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
I'm expecting a letter reeeeeeeeeeaaaally soon. I used 2.5GB of roaming last month so I imagine they are a little pissy about that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Sprint did offer to waive the ETFs (2 off them) AND any recurring charges for the last month of service... Actually, on AT&T, I'm now getting better coverage and speed, both in and out of my workplace, and with the wife's employee discount we are paying less overall.

3GB data plan on each phone... Most I've ever used on Sprint is like 1.2GB.

One of the best things about the AT&T data plan is that if you go over the limit, for $10 they automatically add another GB, not cancel your account. And roaming data only applies to international data usage.

If your Sprint 3G data is more than your Sprint 3G roaming data, then they won't usually take any action other than maybe warning letters.

I'm sure my usage was costing them money, but my usage was costing ME plenty of money too!

I was happy about no ETFs and the free last month... but there should be legal implications for them since they don't report any of this on your invoice OR USAGE DETAILS. When I asked why there was no mention of the roaming data issue on my bill, they said that some things changed earlier this year, and their Marketing and Billing departments weren't on the same page yet.

This a$$ reaming was brought to you by Sprint... Bringing a whole new meaning to the term "Unlimited"...

GFY, Sprint. I hope you face legal action for screwing your customers over like this ;)

Sent from somewhere in Galaxy SII...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
The problem is, there is no way to tell from your bill whether you are roaming on Sprint's network (as in, out of your home calling area) or roaming OFF of Sprint's network.

"Changes earlier this year" is BS. Their bill has stated "Sprint 3G Roaming - Unlimited" forever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Their lack of reporting is BS too...

10 plus year Sprint customer checking in here!

I've been using the EK02 modem combo'ed with PRL 11115 and Mr. Greg's ROAM Control for almost 3 months now, set to roam only and I haven't gotten a single letter, threat or anything! :rolleyes:

I'm actually hoping to get one, I want out of my Sprint contract without paying the ETF, I'm sick of the slow 3G data speeds. Now before someone says well you've been a customer for over 10 years and you have resigned the contracts so you have no one else to blame but yourself, blah blah blah, back before the HTC EVO 4G, I didn't have these issues.

Over the past 3 years Sprints network has done to hell. My Samsung Instinct and my Palm Pre were FAST. I used them as modems for my laptop and everything else, NO problems. Browsing on them was FAST, no problems. Apps online on them, no problems. I get my EVO and its SLOW! That was about when 4G was coming so I waited it out and yep we finally GET 4G locally but only downtown. I keep hearing promisses of expansion blah blah blah so I renew picking up the Epic 4G Touch, oh, no more 4G expansion blah blah, LTE is the next big thing.

Well my Epic Touch is even slower then my EVO was.

Sprint got too big and there network just cant handle it.

My friends ATT Skyrocket blows my phone out of the water speed wise. Hell, just roaming to Verizon I get upward of a meg a second but on Sprint I'm luck to get 100 kbps. Sometimes it bursts to 600+ but it doesnt hold. Sometimes its as low as 20 kbps. Most webpages don't load.

I'm burned out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ray33jay:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ky0nkyon:
Does being booted by spirit mean that you can never come back to their service? I'm tired of the slow service as well and feel like i shouldn't need to pay etf when I'm given the slowest 3g service.

My life for Aiur
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
I asked that, and no, they said that my line(s) would be disconnected. If they were smart, they would block the ESN our MEID from the network, but they don't. according trip what they said.

I thought of adding a new line on the plan and letting my old number expire, but I would no doubt have the same usage and roaming problem. And they terminated the ACCOUNT. I could have started a new plan, but again I think I would have to deal with the same thing again eventually...

It was a pain to switch, but they did waive the ETFs and last month recurring charges. Had to take advantage of this, and the only thing I miss is my E4GT... LOL

ok...i saw several discrepancies with the stock v20 of LG ("b" and "n"). i will try and enumerate them here:

1. ANALOG CLOCK WIDGET: though 5 clocks are available, there are 4 more styles available....AND CAN BE MADE TO WORK. CHECK THE SCREENSHOT

2. THE RICHNOTES WIDGET: many of you might be using the ported richnotes by me from LG PRADA 3.0.

however, it is to be noted that there are richnotes files in the system of p970.

check the screenshot (find it@res-cappuccino)

3. DIGITAL CLOCK WIDGET: there are more than 5 types of digital clock to choose from, yet we don't get that many options. check the screenshot:

4. SCENE SELECTION@LG LAUNCHER: again many of you using my PRADA 3.0 port should have seen the nifty scene selection which allows you to select predefined scenes like social, work, personal,etc.

apparently, it is also present in the LGHOME of the P970 also. check the screenshot:

5. LOCATION OF THE WIDGET FILES:ok, this is a bit tricky. the widgets of Email and messaging has two types. a BIG one and a small "scrollable" one.

u can find the image(the png's) files of the big widget if you decompile the widget itself BUTTT for scrollable widget's associated image file, u have to go ALL the way back to decompiling the res-cappuccino @framework folder. weird, eh??:rolleyes:

6. also, i don't know if it can be called a "glitch", but u cannot find the highest settings for camcorder (720p) at the media.xml files.

there might be some more, but i forgot :rolleyes:

7. two camera apps???WHY???sersly, have you seen any other cell having two camera apps??:rolleyes:

u can very well delete the "Camera.apk" from /system/app and the actual camera application of the black (i.e., ArcCamera.apk") will work just fine.

what do you think??apparently the "misses" are a bit too many for being a "mistake". instead am sure it's "DELIBERATE" on part of LG.
[Android General] agent205:
Yes,i think you right

imho,there are some unfinished work from LG

Just back when i used the stock 20n, there're so many dummy data (ex. Dummy bluetooth,dummy etc )

Maybe it's because we always force them to release the GB back then? :p

And about the camera,i didn't even notice before and you are right, there're 2 cam apps :eek:

Can you use the front cam when you del the camera.apk?

1.- how you did to add those clocks??

3.- if they're there, why can't we use them??

7.- maybe one is for the back cam and one for front cam?? but if I'm not wrong I think this appear at "removable apps" list

you know for what are those "dummy" files?? I mean, if look at it, theres a "dummy" file for almost every thing... bluetooth, wifi, gps, etc etc etc

both, back and front, cam works good??

and for the livepapers, they're there at system>apps right? but when adding "live wallpaper" they aren't there :confused:

hey achyut first of all congratulations for your kind response because it is really kind and he obviously doesn't deserve it.

@gumm.patrick

how old are you?because you seem like a spoiled 6 year old..but to be honest 6 year olds are way more mature than you.everyone can use the power of the keyboard to attack others with words that mean nothing.and you use this weapon a lot.achyut declares to be noob comparing to others in this forum that may have more developing skills and knowledge than him..this doen't mean that he is on the same level as you.he is just modest.maybe he should teach you a thing or two.if you are indeed a young fellow you should start to learn some respect for others and i am telling you this as a teacher which is my profession.if on the other hand you are older that you seem then you can't do anything i guess.

ok on topic now i totally agree with you achyut.and i think that is why LG keeps on releasing new versions..strange that they did not include these things though.

I knew that the ROM was unfinished/to early relesed the moment i saw the Energy Widget and compared it with the Stock version. LG has done a Good Job in cutting useful Funtionality and Customization away.

Why cant they just compile clean Android AOSP? Would be so much better. But no, better "guess" what the Customer wants ;)
[Android General] Pondera:
I think the reason might be the lateness of GB for LG devices. Developers might be compelled to release the ROMs as soon as they got a "stable" one. Remitting the completing part after. Like any other software out there to catch the deadline. This is first comes to mind (at least mine). But then some of these issues should have been completed with the release of V20o. So may be this was the idea but they forgot.. :p doesn't sound solid.. Who knows. LG has a softbelly on software. Anything could have happened.

Nice catch mate, air that LG's dirty laundry in public. :D

I am not a DEV may be i shouldn't post anything but i wanted to give my opinion. Mainly because i wanna show my support to achyut. NOT THAT HE NEEDS IT. He is a cool person with a lot of knowlegde concerning these (much more than most of us). This is more than enough reason for respect. But no reason is needed. Be respectful to everybody. And i don't see any reason for thread to be closed. Can be productive.

I dug the LG PRADA 3.0 system dump. it's also 2.3.4 and has all of the props mentioned - FULLY WORKING.(except for the scrollable notification toggles of course.)

am sure if we dug the froyo too, we might have found such files

with the black, LG has got an awkward situation. they have numbered the cell too high (yes, "numbered"). p"970". higher than many of their newer alternatives. they actually want to concentrate on the better power house cells, but they cannot leave a p"970" and give updates to p"990",p"930",p"920" and so. they should have numbered it p"910" or something like that:rolleyes::rolleyes:

wild guess, but might be so...and of the clock widget, i'll post it here.:)
[Android General] mullarameez:
Write now i'm using v20e and i can say its the most stable awesomely fast and properly tweaked by LG this time. I even saw they increased low memory killer parameters set for large values to improve performance. So yes i think its not unfinished but completely worked.

As per my knowledge the dummy files are important for testing perpose and that must be there because we have remotecall app that lg has given us means if problem occur u can call lg and they will remotely access ur phone same as teamviewer so there they need dummy apks and i think also its related to hidden menu tests.

About clock Widgets i will decompile and read the code and will check if we can use the extra ones by some mod.

Conclusion i can say the new update v20e(I rooted it) is more than good rom than any other rom available for our OB.
[Android General] gusthy:
I can say the same for V20o, I guess, e and o are very similar, for different markets. The original V20 (a, b, n) was a very bad attempt, which was released because they were sooooo late. This new versions are totally usable, vith wery good battery time and smooth user experience.
[Android General] mullarameez:
Just found out that other camera app is there because in hidden menu we have camera test so it is used for that. You can check it by freezing it and then going to hidden menu and perform camera test will be FC:) lg guys know what they do :cool:
[Android General] gabwerkz:
You can rename images I believe. Example is Digital clock. The numbers can be renamed to the one being used (blue?), sample ORANGE numbers. Also the background. And whatever extra it has (widgets, clocks) rename images what you prefer. In so doing when you select the widget, your desired design will be used. :)

The idea is to interchange image names.. And you have a new widget.
[Android General] achyut:
i just did that for the clocks :D...i didn't like the 2/3 clocks available(absolutely HATED the wood type clock). so i changed the names of the images and got those widgets. all in all, it was bad from LG to have such nice looking clocks at disposal and not allow us to choose them :rolleyes: :D
[Android General] mullarameez:
Do you know lg develop firmware for p970 in india?? from some tresses i think lg outsourced it to wipro. Not sure..
