phonexpert Did you install windiag_open cab on the ks20 it might solve your problem.If not install it reboot and the phone will be recocgnize in normal mode in lgdmp
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] demonreeper:
if u still have problem connecting after all the steps mentioned above and in the post above this.

Please check if ur motherboard has an nForce chipset it is knows to coz problems. in this case try disabling and enabling the lg driver in device manager() few times might work.

You will have to do this everytime u try to get a connection with phone.

solves the problem for me. I do this everytime i flash.

The other solution is use a pc with a non nForce chipset like an intel chipset based motherboard.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] phonexpert_alex:
did that already. I usually don't resort to asking on forums for help only after I've read all I could find with the help of the "search" button ;)

i have a intel based motherboard. tried on another intel based motherboard too. still no succes
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raykisi:
As i know there are very limit official roms dun support windiag.dll, may be it is ur case.

In that case, you have to 1st identify whether your phone is brand or unbrand one, then find an official rom that suit you depends on whether your phone is brand or unbrand, then flash with that rom in emergency mode with "none", dun use "Erase EFS" it will erase your nv data.

After flashing, try to connect your phone in normal mode and backup your nv

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] user_x:
Would you mind telling people how you actually solved your problem? A "Got it, thanks!" post does not help anyone.

My recommendation would have been to do a hard-reset before anything else. That sometimes does the trick for people, who cannot get their phone to show up in LGMDP.

Now that I have finished the Incite rom, it would be nice if I can spend a few days without anyone reminding me what I have to do for their phone.

Then I'll finish KisS20.5.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wonderkik:
Hehe, nice answer ^^

Relax, get some rest and some fun, you'll give us news when you'll have it.

We know KisS20.5 is on the way, all we have to do is wait, I think we can handle this , can't we?

As a side question, I was wondering which city you live in? You may or may not answer, it's your privacy. I don't plan on harassing you or anything, I am just curious ;)

And thanks for your hard work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] User22:
Sorry but, i DIDN'T remind you what you have to do.

I was waiting the same polite answer as my polite question was, because asking if you can give us any update on it, just mince asking if it is getting better or not.

And now that you like to talk rude, we can talk rude: let me remind you that you been rising our spectation for the beggining on April... and then you switch over Incite.... If you don't create that spectation, we didn't stay buzzing around you like now.

So again, do what ever you think is the best, release it or not, but be polite please.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
@User22 : I apologize if my answer sounded impolite to you, it wasn't my point :( (should have put a smiley somewhere)

It's been almost 2 weeks that I'm working on an Incite rom because I had to take a break from flashing my phone at least twice a day. On incite's thread, there was a lot a people asking me when I would release the rom.

I've finished it this morning at 3:00 am. Not 1 day has passed (you know it) and you already want me to give some information about ks20... it wasn't the good question at the good time, that's all (that, and your "it will be nice" instead of "it would be nice", that made me think it was a reminder).

Now about the spectation I created for the beginning of april : I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like me to release a buggy rom. I first thought ks20 bugs were fixed and said I would release a new rom by april's end, but they are not. As you might now, it's not like I have the source code, it can take forever to fix bugs, especially on lg phones where users/developers community is reduced.

Anyway, I MIGHT release a new rom next week. It'll surely deceive many of you that I didn't manage to make things better than they are, but most of things I tried leaded to dead-ends.

Now, the facts :

* It'll surely still be on 20755 as I couldn't get any newer build to work completely (I prefer 1000 times a 20755 fast and stable than a buggy wm6.5).

* After hours of work, rewriting a proxy driver, Incites graphic drivers still don't work on ks20 for now.

* Google mylocation (and any other CellId localisation) still don't work. I managed to make it half work on a test application, but it was with a special cellId localisation function (not used but most of the apps), and only after unloading/reloading phone driver... nothing that could work in the real world apps.

This is what you shouldn't expect to find in next release. As for good news, I prefer not telling them now, I might be mistaken, don't want to create spectation ;) (didn't forget the smiley, this time :p)

Amen and peace, thanks for the update and take your time.

Ofcourse "would" is the key, you are right, sorry for miss writing it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] moesfeld:
FYI,

On the german vodafone branded ks20 there is a google maps with working mylocation preinstalled.

BUT it only works with vodafone sim-card. They are using a special vodafone location server but I don´t know how they get the celltower information.

Maybe someone with stock vodafone rom could provide a dump and tell the address of the server (It is stored in the registry somwehre in software/googlemaps)

P.S. Great work you did. Take the time you need.

Hi Spocky,

since you decided to release an intermid wm6.1 (Which i think is great) would you mind to add Bioscroll?

This would add some 6.5 flavor to 6.1

I would install it but afaik there is no cab version.

I saw meschle cooked it into his vanilla 6.1 roms as an option.

But I don´t know if it´s even possible on KS20 since it´s related to touch.dll. In fact I haven´t really found any useful info about it.

Today screen

I saw some youtube movies about Windows Mobile 6.1, and it seemed to have a nice Today screen. The KisS rom seems to have a very 6.0-like Today screen. Am I missing something? Can anyone recommend a good finger-friendly keyboard and UI replacement? Manila seems the best choice, but I want something as lightweight as possible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Switchke:
all depends what you need tbh. I was a UI freak at the beginning but after 2 months i stepped out of it because the battery drain is higher and some applications are good enough in the todayscreen

Today screen

Well, there are a few things I would like:

Clear indicators for missed calls and text messages

Quick (large) calender view

Nice to have: contact shortcut

Nice to have: program launcher
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] milaq:
there are numerous full ui todayscreens out there.

just to mention the major:

manilla2d

spb mobile shell 2 and 3 , where in my opinion 2 with skins is better and more leightweight (costs money)

pointui 2

wisbar advance desktop

htc home

a right configured m2d (manilla2d) is worth it. personally i tried a few, but in the end i stayed with m2d, because of its functionality and efficiency at a more or less acceptable memory and battery footprint.

get latetst version here

for a touch friendly calendar i would propose thumbcal (costs money, but an older version, correct me if i'm wrong, 0.51, is free)

take your choice ;)

p.s. for a fingerfriendly sip try FingerKeyboard

Crashes

Thanks a lot to all of you with great advice for tools.

Unfortunately, after flashing to KisS 20.4, my KS20 crashes like there's no tomorrow. On average, it completely freezes once a day. I have to take out the battery to get it back up and running. It happens irregularly, while typing a text message, opening a calender item, or some other simple task.

I didn't install a lot until now: Opera 5.2 beta, and PCMKeyboardEN-0.23, and some small tools, that's all. No Manila2D or anything fancy.

I updated to this ROM to get the device more stable, but it keeps crashing. What in the world must one do to get this thing reliable? Buy a Palm Pre?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Switchke:
try reflashing since its kinda strange you crash all the time all no one else does. You didn't install a branded version if its a unbranded phone?

Hi,

the flash has been achieved there in whole or interrupted in progress?

Have you tried to flash again?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
hi

it's most probably connected with your windows and motherboard chipset version.

I've been encountering the same problem since the day I tried to upgrade my rom.

For me the solution is as follow:

(I can only flash in emergency but that's not a problem for me since my nv2 is unbranded and I already had an unbranded nv2 file with ROM installed on my KS )

1. turn your phone into emergency mode, and connect it via usb

2. start LGDMP

3. then -> control pannel -> system -> device manager . and here disable the lg corona drivers in the usb controllers tree (right click on corona drivers -> disable), next, your computer will think for a short while on this ;p so in order to make it faster unplug your phone. do not restart windows.

4. open LGDMP and go to the "select port" window where you can connect your PC with the phone

5. CONNECT PHONE VIA USB

6. Now re-enable the LG drivers in "device manager" . again, right click on the disabled corona drivers in the usb tree and click enable.

7. click "search" in LGDMP and ... :) your phone should be detected in emergency mode

tried this several times, and it works
