Tried using both 20.5a (without Extendir) and 20.5a (with Extendir). Same list of applications are installed after flashing:

20.5a (without Extendir):

I experienced quite many system halts, especially during system boot up and when the system was under heavy loading (e.g. web browsing, listen to mp3 with TCPMP and receiving SMS simultaneously). I had to remove the battery to get the system reset. However, I suspect that the frequent halt is due to the Chinese font supporting pack I installed, which is not the one recommended by bun_086, is not compatible with the rom.

20.5a (with Extendir):

It does freeze when the phone is waking up from suspend mode. However, it usually can recover within 5 seconds. Very few system halts were encountered even the same Chinese font supporting pack is installed. Besides, 20.5a (with Extendir) runs faster than 20.5a (without Extendir) and KisS20.4 -- my gut feeling :) -- I'll stick with 20.5a (with Extendir) for its speed and stability.

One thing I miss from KisS20.4 is the video streaming in media player via rtsp (Both 20.5a are not working. Or am I missing something :confused:).

Thanks for the great KisS20 ROMs spocky12 :D

Hi, i not understand how to install extendir file, is it got any software can install automatically or need install 1 by 1?

Thanks

sorry for my bad english.

Fixed:need to put in under \storage card\Extendir

i put in \storage card\apps\extendir

hmmm, i installed ks20.5a right on the first day that spocky released it together with spb mobile shell 3 & i've yet to experience a freeze when waking up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mkmonkey:
Hi !

Thanks for your advice . I've re-try to backup , unbranded the NV2 file for a few times . And restore to the 20.4 system , it works fine .

Afterward , when I flash the 20.5a into my KS20 , it works for the first boot , but when I turn it off and on again , the system crash again .

I've tried for both LGDMP 12.10 and 12.13 but yield the same result . So I have no clue about the problem .

Anyway , thanks very much for the advice !

Regards,

Using KS20.5a without Extendir now, and can confirm no more feezes, works really great, better than 20.5 or 20.4 :).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wahbigbig:
hi, i have just flashed your latest rom, i am using unbranded ks20 from hongkong, original with 10A chinese rom.

long time ago(nov, 08), i flash your rom, i flashed your quite old wm6.1 rom, it was good, but later, i changed to wm6.5 and keep update, i ususlly use emengency mode to flash.

But recently, i find if i update to the rom made from 10E, my ks20 will auto keep restart after the loading screen, it will never end. this situation only occur when i insert the sim cards from hong kong operator, if i insert a sim card from china operator, it won't reset. is that i have missed something when updating the rom?

thx

this new rom 20,5a cos of the new extendir has RAM issues !!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
what kind of "RAM issues" do you mean ?

If the version with extendir freezes on Ur phone Then use the rom without extendir. to do that all you have to do is flash all the files from 20.5a package and replace flash.bin from this package with this flash.bin : http://www.mediafire.com/?22mowzlugnw

then you'll have 20.5a without extendir,

(it was all mentioned before, it really doesn't hurt to read)

@EVERYONE

OK, I have really grown tired of people "crying" and wasting forum posts asking how to flash a rom, how their device can be recognized in LGMDP etc.

@Spocky12

Kiss20.5a with extendir is very good.It might consume 10 mbs more memory and have some freezes,but it is faster!Thanks man!Keep up!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
For those you want to test, here's another version with extendir included in xip (instead of sys). It should be faster. If you still experience issues with it (ie. slow wakeup), could you please explain how to reproduce the problem (with as little apps installed as possible, none would be the best, so that we know it's not an incompatibility with another software).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holy_moly:
More speed, sounds really good. Will test this version asap.

Btw I think that S2U2 is one of the big trouble maker applications for you 20.5a roms. I use it always together with S2P as an iPod replacement. Had to deinstall S2U2 on your rom without extendir, cause of many visual issues and totally freezes/crashes. After deinstalling S2U2 all issues where gone. :confused:

Hi Spocky ,

Do you have any clue about SIM card issue ? Anyway , I'll try to get another SIM card to test as well , thanks a lot !

issue - slow wakeup (5sec)

is here still

. No app instaled...

Good luck...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Perhaps I need some more instruction on how to reproduce it : I had my phone in standby all day long, I've just woke it up, and I could immediately hit start menu and it opened immediately. Is it related to phone/gsm driver reload ? (I currently have no sim card in the phone, that might explain why I have not experienced this issue).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] milaq:
had the wakeup delay issue from day one on with my ks20 from time to time. it happened on all roms: stock 10a rom, a few of farah's roms, kiss20.4, kiss20.5, kiss.5a with and w/o extendir.

personally i don't think it's a problem related to extendir or any of your roms as it happened with the stock rom and farahs rom too. neither i think it's a gsm reload (except the 6.5 roms) since it had no impact on the network signal.

working on kiss20.5a with extendir in xip. so far no major issues (besides the mentioned wakeup delay from time to time). fast and versatile. nicely done mate.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sprioux:
upgraded to 20.5a last wednesday.

Had the wakeup issue at the beginning, but has mysteriously disappeared since saturday.

Everything goes right now, without any wakeup delay. The problem is that I can't explain why !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
disagree. a lot of pp confirmed that without extendir there are no freezes (including me and some pp on our polish ks20 forum) so it must be somehow related to this.

I can't check new ver. this week 'coz I borrowed my phone :( (damn, I miss it)

It would be great if some1 with freezes could check if they occur without the simcard inside, as spocky12 mentioned

Hi,

I too have had some wake up issues with the extendir version.... I ve been running the stripped (without extendir) version Spocky provided, since the next day he posted it... No issues so far.... I am absolutely positive something was wrong in the first rom, since sometimes it happend when receiving phone calls and the touchscreen was completely unresponsive, so I couldn`t answer the phone, thats how I noticed it. However I cannot be absolutely sure that its not some 3rd party app that caused it, since I am running quite a few programs, like SPB Mobile Shell 3, IconSoft PhonEx, and FtouchSL. Now that I come to thing of it, the "usual suspect" is FTouchSL. I will try and find the time to test it and provide a way to reproduce the issue.

Thanks Spocky for the great rom!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sprioux:
When using Iconsoft PhonEx, do you have a continuous ring even after your contact answered ?

hey, i experienced a bug which appears when i try to change options in solitaire or bubble breaker (20.5a without extendir)... after pressing ok i get completely out of the game, but changes are not applied... can anyone confirm this?

oh and i was asking before if it would be possible to change lgcamera.exe to save pictures as "P0908180001" instead of "P1808090001" so they would be in their chronical order? Maybe you could do this spocky? would be awesome...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
This has been posted so many times before. To get rid of the constant dialing tone, you need to do the exact opposite. That is, enabling the LG dialer (or get a SIM with anoter provider *). Don't worry, you'll still be able to use PhoneEx (or iContact and the likes), as programs like these don't replace the default dialer, they run above it.

So you need these registry settings:

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=0x1
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\ext=LgePhoneExt.dll

(*) This problem is not application specific, it's seems to be network specific. The constant dialing tone only happens when disabling the default LG dialer, and that on some GSM networks (in Belgium it happens only with the BASE provider).

@ Spocky, maybe you could put this in your starting post, because people keep asking about it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vosk:
That`s odd, I was experiencing the constant dialing tone in WM6.5, and the fix (Enable=1) did the job. Then I went to KisS 20.5-20.5a and I had no problems whatsoever.... It must be related to something else....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hengp:
i have just flashed the recent rom(with extendir) earlier on and as described by many others, i do have the very same problem. it freezes alot and reacted very slowly after when i tried opening an application or even going into the program menu. but later on when i installed this program - sktools and tried tweaking the system for optimal performance, all the problems are gone!! and i have the confidence to say that it is now VERY VERY much faster than the previous rom..

it loads programs almost instantly, wakeup time takes only half a sec, and totally no hang and freezes!! its amazing!!

so maybe its just some of the system settings that gave problem to everyone..

this are the relating tweaks done to my ks20

- font cache size

- tcp window size

- default ttl

- pie input buffer size

- file system cache

spocky maybe you will wanna look into these in details? anyway, thanks for the new rom! my ks20 has never gotten any better until today!!

Wakeup issues Extendir rom storage card related?

Hi guys,

Just a few questions ( I hope somebody could test this for me ) :),

Could somebody test if the wakeup issues still exists on a rom with Extendir, when you have the storage card removed?

And could anyone also test the wakeup issues with less then 200 files on the storage card and with more than 2000 files on the storage card.

Thanks in advance!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Thanks ShaDrac for trying to fix extendir on our ks20.

What I can tell you so far : I don't have any wakeup issue and I have less than 200 files on my sdcard.

I'll try to copy many files on it and keep you informed. Also perhaps you've seen this, but someone in farahbosley's thread said he had this issue too (it needed something like 10s before he could use his phone after wakeup), and he said the removing the sdcard fixed it.

If people who had issues with KisS20.5a/Extendir could test and report the results here, it would really be great.

Could you test :

- sdcard file count, as Shadrac asked

- hengp's sktools tweaks just above

Once we'll figure this out, I'll finalize KisS20.5 version and try to publish localized versions as well.

Hi guys,

i`ve got a little problem. I can`t log in to my vodafone provider (germany - 1+1). So i made, what Spocky wrote - i created a windows folder named "networkprofiles" and kopied my vodafone .xml into it, but no success, then i created a folder name "autoprofile" - every time with soft reset, but no success at all! On Kiss 20.4 (flashed it in January) i did not have this Problem.

What can i do? Please help!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ibanezman192:
OK,here are my test results with this rom http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4337777&postcount=1671 :

I tested with no programms installed and then with many programms installed like manilla.The results where the same.

I did not encounter any wakeup delay.When I pressed the button the device instantly restored itself.

I could receive phone calls normally without wakeup issue/delay when it was in sleep mode.

Without memory card

I did not encounter any wakeup issue.The device instantly wake up without hang ups.

With 8gb memory card:

I tested it with 169 and then with 3009 files.Same results for me.

I encountered a very few issues:When I pressed the button to wake up, it instantly did wake up but sometimes it requiered 1-6 seconds for the device to work properly without hang ups.

PS.I cannot guarantee that those results are 100% correct!

PS2.I used hengp's sktools tweaks but i found no difference :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Ok, I can confirm it's due to the number of files present on sdcard.

With <100 files, I had no problem, with 3000 files (a part of i386 windows xp folder), I have a much longer wakeup (it takes around 5 seconds for it to be reactive).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scylla69:
that's the deal. did it occur during every test ? (with the storage card inside/out, a lot of files/few of them) ?

my phone with extendir doesn't hang-up(in that way that I have to remove the battery and reinsert it to restart the phone) but freezes for ~5sec. after waking it up.

I'll have my phone back tomorrow and I'll check it then and report

edit. I was typing this when you posted spocky... so is there a way to solve it? it's not that big deal though, every1 can delete few files :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ibanezman192:
I agree with spocky.It is worse when i have more files.By saying hangups I mean small freezes!I did not have to take out the battery!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] babinskyo:
Thank you for the advice.

My opinion about 20.5 was mitigated before today. It was generally faster but launching the messaging app and other apps was taking few seconds (3-5 seconds for messaging app), and the overall was jerky.

I've removed my sd card, and now, it is really faster for all tasks (messaging launch instantly now).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ibanezman192:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PandaKiller:
After some testing I realized that this problem is due to my SD 8GB, but also to FingerSuite.

If FingerMenu is disable, the hangs happen very rarely.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ShaDrac:
Solution for wake up freeze? (Extendir rom)

Hi guys,

Thanks for testing! :)

I've got maybe a solution for the freezing.

Could you change in the registry the following setting?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1

What it does or should do:

If "DisablePowerManagement" is set to "dword:0" your phone disconnects your SD Card and reconnects it everytime your phone wakes up.

When you use the above registry setting and thus set "DisablePowerManagement" to "dword:1" your phone doesn't disconnects your SD Card but it goes into idle.

Could you make the change to the registry, wait for 30 seconds,softreset your device and let me know if this works?

If it does, I can make a fix for this in Extendir in a future release.

Just 2 site notes:

For people who use there phone really occasionaly (just a few times a day), your battery life will be shortened with probably 3% - 5%.

I don't know exactly which class under the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class" is used by your phone so I wrote down the ones I know.

I've attached two cabs for easy changing the registry with the above settings.

Use the "Disable SD Card Powermanagement.cab"

If it doesn't work you can revert back with the other cab.

Let me know the results!

Thanks in advance! :)
