Made it + new issues

I finally convinced Kiss ROM to marry Polish branded device.

The miracle combination involved taking FLASH file from Kiss and all other files from 10c Orange package.

Can the fact that I've taken all *.mbn's from VERY OLD rom cause any problems or mean that I'm actually using old drivers?

Now, I installed full UC with M2D and encountered some

problems

:

1) Embedded Opera doesn't function too well:

a) keyboard doesn't pop up when cursor is inside a text box on some pages (google for instance)

b) when using OPERA, incoming calls tend to break the whole TouchFLO - after finishing the call 'press here to start TouchFLO' message appears

c) plain and plenty crashes of OPERA with same symptoms as in b) while browsing
​

2) Bluteooth switch under 'communication' page doesn't work - always showing 'OFF' (even when bluetooth is on)

3) SD card becomes invisible after several operations involving it (reading/installing); only soft-reset helps; also couldn't install some CABs from SD - worked only after moving the CAB to internal memory;

Anybody had similar problems? Likely to be related to card/hardware/software?

4) Bluetooth PIM synchronization tends to randomly break connection with the laptop; only worked after 4th attempt.

Cheers!

@tonoslo : thanks for reporting this, I'll try to investigate. I don't know for the other apps, but point ui worked on my ks20 too, it's just that sometimes it had issues restoring a "minimized" app. Don't you experience this behaviour ?

@impressa :

1-I don't use much opera, but I know that when ks20 is running low on ram, it tends to crash.

2-Normal behaviour, already explained before and maybe even on first post. Htc bluetooth driver is not that same than the one from ks20 and I couldn't manage to make it work fully. Just use windows mobile bluetooth control panel.

3-Never had this issue with this rom, only when I tried to increase transfert speed with registry tweaks.

4-No idea, I don't use Pim sync.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] impressa:
Thanks for prompt reply Spocky!

1) What's your memory level when using M2D? 20.44 is what my LG shows before OPERA.

2) No big deal - thanks for explanation

3) may be the card - will buy a new one.. What is the registry key that tweaks transport rate and what is the optimal setting from your experience?

Finally - any clue on the purpose of the mbn's (3rd line question in the previous post)?

BTW, not sure who's the author of the KisS20 splash screen (with the red sheet overlaying warm landscape) but it's a work of digital art. I know all the techniques used in PS, but still marvel at the concept. BEAUTIFUL!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Well, it's been a long time I haven't used m2d (it takes too long to install as I'm often flashing my device) but I think I had a little bit more than this (maybe ~24). It's not much and you'll need to carefully close software you use befeore launching another one. I'm doing my best now to free some more ram for next release, but that's not an easy task.

I don't really remember exactly the registry key for sdcard buffer, but what I know is that I tried to increase it and every time I had issue when copying files on it, so I didn't change it.

As for mbn, for what I've seen until now, most of them don't change at all and those that change don't change much so it may not be important (they're mostly related to low level gsm functions).

I Just tested it on with KisS rom, and there is still the dialer bug withe the same dialer. You have, perhaps, a less drivers' bugged rom, at least on this aspect of the phone (Point UI 1.51 caused me also some mess on 6.0 roms when I asked too much of it with 1 or 2 apps minimized).

4 more questions for you guys:

1)Is anybody else experiencing EXTREMELY weak Wi-Fi signal? Standing next to a router, I'm getting 1bar, and can't get signal in another room.

Is there any way you know to boost reception?

2) Is there a way to remove unused keyboards from memory?

3) Do you know a small but good 'ringtone profiler'? I'm currently using Ringo, but I think it extends an already long delay before I can pick up an incoming call (now I need to wait between 3 and 5 seconds - first backlight kicks in and then after a few seconds the 'caller id' window).

4) Is there any way to remove Active Sync from memory when the device is not connected to the computer?

Thanks,

Hey,

right now I'm testing the Kiss 20.4 Release of Spocky and something seems to be wrong with it on my KS20...

I installed the full UC package, so that I got M2D on my phone.

In M2D there is a Tab called Programm Launcher or something like this. The Last Tab of M2D. I can't add programms on that page.

Is this a known problem or did I just installed the programm wrong?

Btw.: I installed the German version of the Kiss 20.4 and the UC package didn't install itself :( I had to install every cab file manually....

best regards and thanks in advance

The bluetooth stack seems not upgraded on this rom.

Is there anyone motivated to update the 20.4 rom with this radio part ?

So I just made the jump as my battery level detector broke (always full). Even a hard reset didnt fix it.

The ROM fixed it. Thanks bud !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@PauloJ5: thanks for the donation, it's xmas for me too ! Glad KisS20 rom fixed your issues.

@majorasshole : Bluetooth is updated, but I don't know what it adds/fixes. Other than this, very few files are updated. Next rom will be based on it (if no newer official rom), though until now I havent found anything interesting.

I have a small problem with this rom.

When a mp3 file is played and the phone goes standby the player stop if the music track ends.

Does anybody else have this problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@walter79 : I can't say with wmp, but I never had this issue with S2P.

@Thinkhappy : Well, users are not meant to flash rom themselves so warranty might be void. But remember you can flsh back to an official rom whenever you want (well, if hardware is still working of course). I also know people who had their phone replaced by Lg, so I'm not sure they really care about what has been done with software, but I can't say for sure if that's the case everytime.

@evan253 : Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to use lgmdp_euro even if you're in the US.

Hello

I'd like to ask one thing before attempting to flash new rom. I know maybe it's a lame question - but please be patient and answer :)

Is NV backup made during flashing (i didnt do it yet - so i dont know rly how does it look) backs up ALL of my old ROM ?

I ask because i'd like to save it if anything goes wrong (or if i'd just find KisS rom unpleasant or sth) i want to have an option to go back to my original one (and besides it's Polish language rom - i dont mind using english one, but certainly havin a backup of my original ROM would make me more ease)

Also i'd like to know from "first hand" users - if someone found the way to help KS20 with its GAPI/Video drivers issue (or it lack of i understand the problem) ?

And one last thing - maybe we could gather a list of all non working things in spocky's ROM in one post? I see that some ppl complaint about some issues and since im new to this all - i find it difficult to comprehend.

Thank u for patience

Darmach :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PauloJ5:
Your own ROM is not backed up automatically. But that is a different process, use "search" for what to do. But perhaps your original ROM is already available for download.

In general the KisS20 ROM is much better than the original ROM. It fixes several issues such as the battery indicator failure and the lack of support for SDHC cards. Its also faster and better with battery life. The only thing I found was that SPD diary seems to have refresh problems with it it, and thus the graphics get stuck sometimes. So I simply de-installed it. S2U2 also doesnt work absolutely perfectly, but it also didnt with the original ROM.

My advice is to flash with this ROM if you have any problems with the original ROM.

Vodafone live

Hello,

First of all thx for this great rom !

I just have a small problem, since i flashed it when i connect to the sfr (vodafone live) portal through Internet explorer it does not recognize my phone anymore and shows me a black and white version, and in the games section, ... it says "Your phone is not compatible with any game"

I tried to change the user-agent value but it did not change anything.

Does anyone else have the same issue ?

Does someone with a vodafone/sfr ks20 not flashed could tell me the exact user-agent sent ?

Urgent help required: backlight no longer working

hi all, i've flashed my phone to kiss20, and was working fine. however right now my phone's dead and the backlight cannot come on any longer.

what happened is that i'd entered the engineering menu, and ran some diagnostic test, of which one is the backlight test. after this test, the backlight no longer comes on. i've tried taking out the battery, leaving it out and so on. after i turned the phone on, i can see the LG logo, but cannot see the kiss logo anymore.

anyway, although the reason isn't important, my phone seems to have some dead pixels, and i was testing to determine it. so please spare me for making a mess out of my phone... :( i feel like a fool now.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
I just flashed my KS20 with the WWE .4 (previously in FR) rom to make a bunch of tests with TF3D-QVGA.

I built an updated UC to customize it with latest version of the cabs I found. The previous versions I tested with french rom brought the famous bottom slide bar unusable. With WWE, no problem. Only standby is not well fixed with TF3D standby 1.1.

With the (hopefully) soon arrival of a QVGA TF3 HD port, I wanted to be sure of the performances of the KS20 with the existing TF3D, and it's very usable with this early version (performance wise, not for day to day use).

When everything will be OK, I will release, if Spocky agrees, an updated UC with TF3D. I cross fingers for a "not too far" release of the cabs.

first of all..I wanna say thanks to spooky for cooked ROM WM6.1 KisS20.4 :)

I juz got used KS20, ady flashed with spooky's cooked rom..

after few days playing around, I got this few things :

1. when playing .3gp files, I can't hear the sound and volume tap in the screen not responding.

2. when I check Start/Settings/System/About/Version I found :

.................

Processor : QCT MSM7200 400MHz

Memory : 82.89MB

Expansion slot : Not in use

(maybe this is not a major issue coz my 2gig micro sd still read at 1943.07MB, I will try 8gig micro sdhc in next few days).

Recommend to all KS20 users, upgrade now. This ROM is great, everything is stable, to incl Manila2D. Great, great, great.....it is 50% more faster and stable and easier UI than out of the box LG KS 20.

I have fall in love with this phone after upgrading with this ROM.

Flashing KisS20.4 Rom Problem

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone can help me out. I am trying to flash my unbranded KS20 which I got the other day to the WM6.1 KisS20.4 Rom. I have followed all the instructions quite carefully - I did a hard reset, I installed the "WinDiag_Open" cab to the registry of the phone, I unpacked the UC to my MicroSD card, I backed up the .nv2 file of the phone and set the USB port to "Composite" mode. I also installed the LG USB Driver to my computer of course the LGMDP aplication.

After unpacking the unbranded files of the Rom into the root folder I ran the LGMDP program, selected the port and it found the phone successfully. I clicked on connect, browsed to the folder where the Rom was located and clicked Start.

The application proceeded to make a backup of the .nv2 file, however when this was done some strange things happened. The LGMDP application told me that it was "Trying to communicate with the phone" and a timer in seconds began counting. The LCD on the phone also switched off and the Windows USB disconnection sound played followed by the reconnection sound, but LGMDP could no loner find the phone anymore. I could see the green LED was on, on the phone so this made me assume that it was already in emergency mode.

I then disconnected the usb cable, removed the battery, reconnected the usb cable and turned the phone on. The phone booted up and LGMDP was able to communicate with the phone, however as the phone was no longer in emergency mode it booted up completely and LGMDP displayed the following messages in succession -

- Set trusted computer

- Timeout

- Error! Security Mode

I searched and found that other people had had a similar problem but after trolling through pages I was unable to find a definitive answer. So I'm wondering if someone could tell me how I can get LGMDP to test the connection of the phone before it goes into emergency mode so the actual flashing will start?

Any help is greatly appreciated as this has been quite frustrating, Cheers Benny
