nobody forces you, to use this piece of software... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nrce00:
First off, kudos to l3v5y. iShell is the best shell for the Pocket PC yet. It works fantastic on my old Kaiser. It is fast, efficient, and light. The only question I have when I updated from 0.22 to 0.25, I lost the vmail bubbles. I noticed that you have registry entries for their positions now in 0.25, but I don't see any examples of what they might look like. I spent some time playing with some different values and the best that I came up with was a DWORD value called: VMailY and a hex value 30. This puts the vmail bubble at the bottom right corner of the SMS icon. I tried to create all kinds of VMailX values but I can't get any effect on the vmail bubble at all. If I delete the VmailY entry, the bubble disappears all together. I was wondering if you could post some examples of what the registry entries for VMailX and VMailY should look like. Thank you so much for a wonderful product and look forward to updates in the future.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Odd... That should still work...

In future versions, the notification icons and counts are stored in the same datastructure as the icon and path information, so that shouldn't happen, in future versions...

I can try and find the default settings from that version (means digging out another harddrive...)

Problem launching ILauncher.exe

First of all thanks for the hard work.

I use ifonz ath the moment and was interested in evaluating this as an alternative on my htc p3600 (orange spv m700) however i cannot get the app to launch at all. I have installed v 0.25 on both the device and the storage card but whenever i try and launch the program (iLaunch.exe) i get the folllowing error :-

"The file iLaunch cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."

I have tried a few re-insialls and have also tried version 0.24. same error each time.

any clue as to what is happening ? and how i can resolve this ?

Cheers :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I think the only thing that could cause this is the ROM. It means that iLaunch isn't getting loaded correctly because something is missing in ROM.

What ROM are you using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] u710391:
launching problems

Standard orange spv rom nothing changed from original. what do you thinks could me missing ?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] u710391:
still no install

any ideas on the problem i have ?:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
No... I don't think it's my application, but I have no way of knowing what's wrong until it loads fully, so I can't tell what's wrong! Possibly a different ROM might help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] u710391:
new ROM !!!

well there is no way i want to mess with changing my totally standard ROM in order to get your program to launch. :eek: I am surprised you would even suggest such a thing. It is a shame, i was looking forward to evaluating it. I will check back and perhaps try a later version.

good luck with this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] R3PUBL1K:
This reminds me a bit of the Prophet ROM I have of yours. Looks nice so I will try on my device.

Thanks

[edit] this app does not got on well with the DIM 1.28 ROM I currently use. After a restart and launch, I am seeing the clock in the background, the icons (which dont work) and a bit of the phone keypad all at once. I'll post an image later.

could be my rom so I'll try on another devices ROM.

Liking the concept though :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Guess where I got most of the code from?

Since it won't load, there's no way for me to know what's wrong! It works with the emulator images, it works with my Prophets original WM5 ROM, it works with everyone elses device/ROM, so it must be your device/ROM at fault.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] R3PUBL1K:
Eh! dunno :p

Here is what it displays on my DIB 1.28 ROM when launched :eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Ah.

That means you need to set a background, or delete the registry key pointing to a background (HKCU\Software\l3v5y\iShell\Background).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] R3PUBL1K:
Sorted - thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littld:
Any idea on the roadmap for this app? It's made a great start but looking forward to customizing it, more screens etc to make it even better. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Customisation is all there already, it's just kinda crude. I'm hoping to have a beta version for a few testers out tonight with multiple screens, and some better methods for drawing and loading.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brne4x4:
Hey. Thanks a lot for the reply! I hadn't subcribed to this thread... so I didnt see your reply till now.

So... What are you changing exactly to make the clicked icon version dimmer? I want my new skin to work exactly like yours... just with my new icons. I tried just the opacity, but then magenta shows thru

THANKS!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
Hi...

just wanted to ask, if the development has stopped?

I hope that there will be a new release of this great UI. The movies you posted in the first thread were great.

Thx.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shoothere:
I am also concerned, this is the best launcher I've come across. hopefully I'm just being impaitent and a new wonderful release will come along.

Thanks for all your hard work!

ishell 0.25

Hello,

i really like to test it.

But my PPC "says" this program haven't got a certificate or its a bad installation.

And whats the version 0.25. Is it named ishell.cab?

thanks

Werner
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I've not died, nor have I given up on this.

And to prove it, 0.27 is out now :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
great... but link doesn't work ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Ah.

Fixed now with some capitalisation. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
cool... thanks a lot.... will test it and report later :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
first impression.... REALLY COOL.... THX!

suggestion:

- maybe you can change the path from \program files\... to %program files% .... i had to change them all to \programme\... cause of my german ROM

bugs?!:

- I'm not able to open any app in my programs folder in the settings

- how do I close iShell?

- no default SMS icon?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dwizzy130:
I have been following this project from the start and it does look promising but it still has some bugs...

Here is s screen shot of version .27 right after install on my WM6.5 Htc Titan:

As you can see, the SMS button is messed up.

Also it won't let me add any programs in the empty program slots...

And it appears you took out the hardware end key to close feature so I have to open up the pic app and hit the hardware ok button 100 times really fast to get it to close.

Hope this helps,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
- Currently only exes can be launched, although the next version will use a different loading mechanism and so support all file types. To browse all files on your device, I'd use something like GsGetFile (I may include it in the next release)

- Umm... Apparently my keyboard hook has failed. That's been removed in the latest 0.27.1 which I'll upload now

- That's an issue with my registry settings... That's fixed as well.

The first is to do with my registry settings, the second is to do with the keyboard hook (see above).

Both of these should be resolved in 0.27.1 which is coming right up.

Thanks for the bug reports! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kbshowtyme:
Hey the app looks good im testing it out as well
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
0.27.1 now out.

AppToDate server side has yet to be updated though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dwizzy130:
Thanks for the bug fixes, i'll try it in just a couple of minutes.

But one more thing, is there any way that you can put the version\build numbering the name of the cabs? I have all of them dl'd so it's hard to keep them straight and know which is the latest version.

dwizzy130
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I can start doing that from the next version.

I'm going now, so I won't be able to deal with bugs till tomorrow, but if you find any, I'd like to know!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
One thing to note:

Due to the sheer number of registry keys, it may be quite slow to install/uninstall, and may in some cases fail. If this happens, you'll need to manually delete the registry keys and files etc, or use something like SKTools to get rid of older versions.

EDIT:

Removing all the registry settings under HKCU\Software\l3v5y and then uninstalling works well.

I may implement something to do this automatically...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dwizzy130:
Alright, thanks for your support. It's nice to get instant feedback on bug reports and see fixes and whatnot.

dwizzy130
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kbshowtyme:
It looks good
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littld:
Hi, trying latest version. SMS icon goes nowhere so I can't see SMS. As another reported, can't add anything to unassigned icons. Otherwise v good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
Today I played around with some registry settings. Is it right that:

- exactly 3 pages are working in this version? Tried to add another page or to delete the third one. Doesn't make any difference to me.

- it's only possible to add some other apps via registry, because it's not possible to enter the folders in the program folder via settings?

- it's not possible to close iShell finally (it only minimizes!) by pressing the hardware key?

But at least I have to say, that this app will become my favorite gui :D

Btw: Could you please change the color of the weekday name to white?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littld:
Ah, if I hold the keypress until I get the circly action thing then I can assign EXE files from the storage card. It doesn't seem to pick up apps in the Programs Folder on the device though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
That's because the WM file dialogue isn't that great. I'm working on a set of better controls including a file dialogue which I hope to finish soon, and that will let you do a full browse for files. Until then, I'd recommend you use something like gsgetfile which will let you browse - only exes can be opened at this point, but that will be changed.

Also, I think I'll set up a flag system so blank icons will trigger the dialogue on a tap rather than a press/hold - the press/hold works to change all the icons though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
3 pages is correct, I may add some editing to that though if wanted. I thought three was a good balance between number of links and memory useage.

Currently I'm using the standard WM file dialogue which is limited (see above post)

I've stopped capturing all the key presses, so the hangup etc are handled as per WM defaults. Would a tap on the title bar be useful?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
That's to do with the registry settings I've set up by default. If you manually delete the parm registry string for Screen0\App0 it should open the messaging app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FoneBone:
I like the idea to close iShell by tapping the title bar, or maybe only the battery icon.

Thanks for your hard work... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demster:
Hmm, can't find version 0.27.1 or whatever, I've looked very hard, but where is it? With Gecko I only find v0.21

I hope you can help me out :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
There's a direct link in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demster:
So I have to use the 'direct' link?

NVM, you said 'direct link' already :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demster:
Ok, i've downloaded and installed the Ishell from the direct link onto my Xperia, but now there are no icons... Most of the things work, like the clock and calculator, but S2U2 doesn't, although I have it installed. For the rest I really like it :)

I hope you have a solution for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ric69:
I didn't see this post before ^^

Now i've tested : simple and efficient as always (on our prophet), you are awesome Levy Congrats & thanks ... now we can joke with diamphone :D

Wifi and volume icons seems to be qvga on diamond ? Thks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
What do you mean by "there are no icons"?

The applications only open what they're configured to do, and if you don't have S2U2 installed it can't open it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
The top bar is currently all QVGA, but I can up scale the images and edit the drawing code to make it look nicer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demster:
Well, there were just no icons showing, only a few dots and text. Then I took a deeper look in the register and I figured out what was wrong: I have a Dutch rom on my Xperia and instead of 'Program Files' Ishell is installed in 'Programmabestanden', so I copied the whole file to 'Program Files' and now it does more :P But still not what I want: the icons are 1/4th of the size they should be...

Now I have checked the register I also can change the path to S2U2 which is also located under 'Programmabestanden' and in theory I can make it all work now, except for the icons. I will upload a screenshot how it looks like now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larbke666:
Can't uninstall??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Either enable the "Stretch" registry key (second post) or install the VGA version.

If I can work out how to put the install directory into the registry strings, it would be multilingual. Until then, it may need configuring for non WWE ROMs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Manually delete the key HKCU\Software\l3v5y\iShell and then try and uninstall again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larbke666:
ty very much :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demster:
Ehm well, the Background, transparent and stretch registries are missing...

Edit:

Ok, I now have the VGA version and it works OK, but now I have to set it all again. I like it this way now, but there is quite a big gap between the dock and the 'Notes, Clock, S2U2, +' like in the screenshot. Is there a way to fill it up with more icons?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drjim:
Does iShell work on a Fuze?

Does iShell work with TF3D (in other words, can TF3D be used as well with iShell installed) or does it prevent TF3D from working too? Does it open immediately when the phone is turned on or reset?

Also, will icons be created for every app that I have installed on my Fuze?

Since you don't appear to have a YouTube video of its functioning, does iShell work in the same way as other iPhone emulators that can be found on YouTube, e.g., adding, removing, moving/ordering icons, renaming, nice touch response?

Does iShell have its own apps or does it rely on those already installed on phones?

Looks just like what I'm looking for; great job!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shoothere:
the background registry key still isn't present...although at this point I'm way to excited about having multiple screens to worry about that right now.

now I just have to find some .png icons to fill in some spaces! if anyone knows of any (48x48) pm me if possible.

keep up the great work l3v5y!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I can add some for of configuration for that relatively easilty (I have 2 dimensional array for pages and icons within a page, so I can just change a number for more :))

This should coexist with TF3D etc, and unless the Fuze is radically different to my Diamond, it should work well.

iShell needs to be launched manually (although I may add "launch on start up" and a "capture today screen" settings later)

iShell has the first page of shortcuts pre-configured, you have to add the rest.

Moving icons currently doesn't happen, although I think it's something I want to get to work, it's just more complicated than what I have.

iShell can only launch what's on your phone, but the "widgets" idea should make things better integrated.

The background key needs to be manually created. If it's there, iShell will try and load the image, and if there wasn't a path, that image would be "", leading to the odd looking backgrounds with bits of other applications on it that there was a screen shot of a while ago.

The "Background" key needs to be a registry string (REG_SZ) and the Stretch/Transparent need to be DWORD types.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demster:
Hey l3v5y, do you know when we can expect the next version of your great project?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonno:
G'day l3v5y,

Thanks for a great app. Been playing around with iShell on my SE Xperia X1, looks great. Just one little issue, I've created a number of icons in PS CS3, saved them as png files with 24bit alpha. However when they are displayed in iShell my icon background isn't transparent, but it is when I view the png file directly on the device.

When I view your icon files the background is coloured vivid pink the same colour as your Blank.png file. Any ideas why?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruebyi:
I've got a big problem with the dialoug to add new programs... The Software found only 3 exes and is searching only on the SD...Any chance to change this?

btw. Great Job!

LG G6

- Your warranty is now void.
- You have been warned.
- Use at your own risk.

Sadly, this device utilizes android.hardware.radio@1.3 (or below).

This means that the March security bulletin - known as QPR2 - fully killed this device.

We (LineageOS) are trying to write a wrapper to make older radio HAL versions compatible with newer radio HAL versions.

With that said, we may or may not be successful and we're entirely unsure how long it would take.

So, sadly, for now, this device has 21 builds disabled - I have deployed one final February ASB unofficial build people can use in the intermediary (or you can use the final official build).

I will announce here if/when the device is re-added to the roster.

Introduction:

This is the Official Lineage OS 21 thread for the LG G6.

Downloads:

Please follow the install instructions in your device's Wiki page linked below exactly, and make sure your device's firmware matches the required firmware listed.

Official Builds:

h870

h872

us997

Unofficial - built once a month by me, includes GApps and Pixel goodies:

h870

h872

us997

If you don't follow these instructions, or use 3rd party add-ons (like Magisk) please don't expect support here.

Known Bugs:

IMS (VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling) doesn't work due to framework tie-ins used by the LG proprietary binaries.

Encryption is not supported and WILL NOT BE - Android 13 dropped support for FDE (Full Disk Encryption), and LG's custom KeyMaster implementation prevents FBE (File Based Encryption) from working - LineageOS Directors have issued an exemption to the charter requirements here.

Find any? Report them according to this guide.

Notes:

The only supported GApps package at the moment is MindTheGapps, linked on our Wiki page about gapps.

This uses a port of Linux kernel version 4.4.

Kernel Source: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_lge_msm8996

Unofficial build is not there, may was it deleted?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] xc112:
offline wait a while, i forgot his github address
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
had to clean up the GitHub releases, re-uploading now.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] c0ntr3ra5:
the downloads for lineage os 21 are offline?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
no, 21 builds are still in progress, we have to build 111 devices lol - it takes a while.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AShiningRay:
Oh, quick heads up for everyone, 5GHz AP should now be working on LOS 21... at least i pushed a fix that does indeed work on V20, no reason for it not to on G6 or even G5.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
This was a little surprise for me when next 'ota' update was 21 not 20!

Thank You Devs for this ROM - it's working great and this is first release of 21!

Summary of experience for me:

- I'm on official one (h870)

- still using as a daily (because I love this phone)

- upgrade from 20 to 21 went smooth following official instructions

- no (big) issues even without clean install

- gapps uograded - no issues

- overlall experiense is smooth, more responsive than last few LOS 20 ROMs

- there are some small issues (listed below)

- fingerprint reader, bluetooth (music), wifi (AP not tested), sensors are working fine

- Magisk is working fine (just to hide root / unlocked bootloader from apps)

- most features that I use every day of this phone works (NFC, Baromether, GPS, Quick Charge, Double-tap to wakeup etc)

Issues (mostly small ones):

- mobile status icon is showing exclamation mark (I saw that there probably are some fixes queued for next build in chsngelog)

- switching cameras in Apperature crashes app and cameras in general, Open Camera is fine (I need to test this after clear app data to confirm)

- some system animations are off (but maybe this is my laucher issue)

- bluetooth calls need more tesing from me: no cracking noise but microphone is not working at all (?)

- big connection delay with bluetooth devices when screen is off (this issue was on 20 too)

- still no AOD :P (I'm not expecting this festure soon)

This ROM is a quite improvement over LOS 20 so again big thanks from me!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
So, got good news for you.

- Mobile icon is fixed as of today

- Switch camera's is fixed, now you'll see normal and wide angle cams which works fine, we hid the broken one (as of today)

- system animations shouldn't be off, custom launcher disables some of them

- BT Mic works for me

- We _areeeee_ working slowly on AOD backlight support for g6 - months away at minimum
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
Thanks for good news!

I will be testing bt calls shortly to confirm.

I noticed that I made a small "language" mistake describing animations... by off I had in mind "off" like not quite correct but You are probably right - it's a custom launcher issue.

As of AOD... this ROM still will be great without it!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] c0ntr3ra5:
I'm using an LG H872 , performance and battery life has improve since Lineage OS 20 , with LOS20 i get 3:30 hours of screen on time, and with LOS21 i get 4-4:30. Camera app crash if try to change to wide angle lens. Beside that, everything is working fine, it is amazing android 14 on this 7 years old phone xD.Thanks to all devs !
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Camera app crash is fixed next build
