any news with the 850mhz network support?

Seriously guys, remember me to never try to flash a brazilian phone again.. NEVER. i'll kill my ms25 with a bad flash and send to waranty saying it's just bricked. I hope that works! I just can't live without 850mhz network..

I used Spb Keyboard 4.1.1. It was very nice and I loved it but after I did soft reset, the windows started up with black screen...I must do hard reset:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
For now, I would advice to stick with FingerKeyboard. Free and stable with 6.5. Most other SIP will drive you crazy one day or another if it doesn't relies on good'ol SIP selection instead of additional service at boot.

Sorry guys,

I have to delete the firmware versions from my webspace because I need the space for the development of my own ETEN DX900 WM6.5 phone. :)

This is the last file I will post in this thread. All others are deleted. :rolleyes:

KS20_WM6.5_CE_OS_5.2.23016_(Build_23016_FB)10E_WWE_Clean.7z

Good luck with future development of the WM 6.5 firmware.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
Nice move Farah for your latest ROM. I already used Showaco task manager, and now it's integrated, it's really comfortable.

I haven't encounter problems yet. You use the stock gwes or felt back to a 23001 release ? The icon masking in TC seems fixed, but I don't know if it's a fix in this build or an adaptation you made.

Good luck for extendir integration ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] farahbolsey:
hi majorasshole

the integration of the showcase thingie is thanx to you and your preset...

I'm trying hard to integrate Extendir.

I have it on my phone. I decided to use the 4MB cache one.

I've made cabs of these files...

...that i've put on my SD card in Extendir\Setups\RomFiles\

The weired thing is just about the customization process. It just doesn't launch itself on first boot, right after calibration, but on second boot.

Spocky, if you read this, can you tell me how to make this work correctly, meaning: how to launch the customization process on first boot, right after the calibration without the initapp.exe rebooting the rom before the end of the process.

Anyway, at the end of the customization (processed on second boot), the phone reboots after all RomFiles got installed in My device\Extendir folder.

I'll release the ROM maybe today, along with the RomFiles to include in your SD Card\Extendir\Setups folder.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spocky12:
Sorry, farahbolsey, I don't know how you can do it before initapp reboots. As for KisS20 roms, I don't have this issue anymore due to the fact that I rewrote initapp and my version doesn't automatically reboot. Perhaps you can try to remove initapp from autostart registry and add it using a cab during customization process.

So my problem continues, when i instaled the windiag and do all of things to connect, ok conected, but when i try flash with in normal mode the program say: "try communicate with phone" and when i connect in emergency mode the phone is not recognized, i have installed all drivers again but the phone keep unrecognized.

Try to connect in Emergency Mode only after a fresh reboot of your OS, and on a different USB port. Nothing but Emergency Mode !

I upgraded to Extendir version and I'm curently building an updated version of the PI to take advantage of it.

I may finish to rebuild some cabs before my departure and make unique version for both branches of the ROMs. I'm currently making some adaptations to PointUI and M2D v19 to build specific cabs and see if it gives some benefits for WM 6.1 branch. Will be released before thursday.

Don't expect a HTC MEGA derivative, it's too beta and dependancies drive me crazy for now.

et oui c bizarre kes tu veut!!!

sinon tu peut m'expliquer comment je puisse utiliser Extendir? merci
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
We will stick in english in main topic please.

The main purpose of extendir is to allow to enhance the Windows directory (all files you find in Extendir\WinDir path are supposed to be in the Windows folder). To benefit of this enhancement, you have to edit cabs (extracting them with CeCabManager for example), and re-construct it with the right _setup.xml which points to the right path (thanks to the extendir cab utility you will find here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4033241&postcount=4).

The other interesting option, I think, is to enable your caching (IE, Opera, Iris...) in this path to obtain a maximum responsiveness. Results on Opera are not huge for the moment but it works.

I am using 23009 and happy to notice that corruption of card files are resolved.

However, when I am using wifi, the phone always displays "connecting" and cannot connect to any network.

Is it a known bug?

Also, I notice that programs often shut down themselves, compared to official rom.

how can i know if my phone is branded?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
I put a link just upside your post with a thread where it's written :

"Background Information

What is Branded and Unbranded version KS20?

Branded KS20 would have service provider logo at boot up screen while Unbranded KS20 would show "LG" only

However your KS20 is Branded or Unbranded version is actually depended on the .nv2 file in the phone

Branded KS20 has Branded .nv2 and Unbranded KS20 has Unbranded .nv2"

That was not a very difficult information to find...and that's NOT the purpose of this topic to treat those questions.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mulky:
well, after testing 23016 w/ ExtenDir in 24 hrs, i found out that the ExtenDir not really functional properly, my ExtenDir still show no files in it. and worse thing is i found these two annoying problems (dunno for exactly if it comes by ExtenDir, but i haven't found these problem on < 23016, last on 23009 clean) :

1. it probably break my sdhc driver, so the amnesia symptom (losing ability of detecting sd card) happened very oftenly (i'm using 16GB sdhc)

2. the battery drain out very fast, for last 24 hrs my TWO batteries has been recharge very oftenly

for now im testing 23016 clean (w/out ExtenDir) to make sure those problems doesn't occure without ExtenDir. will report it later
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
You did not install the cabs contained in ROMfile from the Extendir PI Farah has released with the rom. If you want to install some cabs in the Extendir, you have to edit their setup.xml as explained in the SarDac thread.

This can be a consequence of a often removed/inserted sd card formated in FAT filesystem. Try to copy/paste the content of your SD, Quick format in FAT32, and see if your card is more stable.

Did not notice a massive drainig. What is your locking application ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mulky:
ok,will try it later.actually i've made my personal PI with edited setup.xml, but have't tried it yet because previously i tried in the wrong rom (clean one) :)) and it not works, so i decide to use franck's PI then (but haven't edited the xml)

well i am using FAT32, and i'm not often hot plugging / remove-insert it. as per mentioned above, it doesn't occure on the previous clean ROMs > 23xx (> 21xx still have it)

what do you mean by locking app, is it S2U2 etc ? i'm not using any lock app, just the default lock one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
I attached a Opera.ini file. You copy it in your windows/Opera9 directory, and see if your caching goes correctly in the Extendir directory.

Hi Frash I'm usung ur WM6.5 23017 WWE and I cant sennd or read sms :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] farahbolsey:
Hi

to change the language of a ROM, you have to cook your own ROM, that means, get last kitchen 2.0 spocky made, take the original OEM of your ks20, at least for the language elements, find the last common SYS and the lang files and DPI related to it, and XIP, port the xip, rebuild the ROM...

so it ain't just a simple thing to do, and it takes time.

Franck

@mcm.xii

I've tested the WWE Rom this evening and encountered the same issue with text message which is not on the French rom.

sorry for that, I advise you to go back to 23016 for now or use the French 23017.

it keeps reboot after the orange windows mobile screen, this problem exist after 21222. But if i use another SIM card from China, this problem not exist. I tried 5 sim cards from different Hong Kong phone company, they all has this problems, any idea with it?

I found all Hong Kong SIM card can't use the sim toolkit, is this cause the reboot problem?

thx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] farahbolsey:
hi

I used exactly the same common SYS to build FR and WWE. and there's no issue in the french ROM with text messages. So I think it's related to base lang. This evening I'll try to use base lang WWE from previous build, and see if it corrects the bug.

Hi Franck,

First, thanks for the great work you're doing for the KS20.

Would it be possible to add a text file in your MediaFire directory to explain the changes in your latest build. I ask this because I often installed a build that was not as stable or functional as a previous one. I would help xda members to decide whether or not they want to spend time testing a specific release.

Thanks for considering this suggestion.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Deosneos:
I already asked this in spocky's thread but I'm not sure what he meant. In his rom there is this shortcut to the engineering menu, so you don't have to dial in the code to bring it up.

Could I get a cab or something to get them in this rom as well?

Zoom function

Hello, I have flashed the newest Build 23025 FB rom and have a question: Can you disable the zoom function (A window that zooms in on the area that you click) that appears when you double tap the screen? It acts a bit weird when it appears and sometimes it appears spontaniously after just one tap. It is a bit annoying, but the rom is just great and even more finger-friendly than the kisS20.x one.

Hello, I searched around in google for some time and found what registry key you have to edit to disable the "Text Magnifier" as people call it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d3thstalker:
Build 23025 is very unstable. The bigger bar at the bottom seems to occupy more space than before, which cuts off part of some apps. Not only that, its causes the scroll bar to appear on the side of the dialpad and it also blocks the appointment curtain on the lock screen. Other than that, the bigger buttons and texts look hideous. I have to soft reset my phone every now and then, because it jams when accessing the messaging menu. I think I'll revert back to a more stable version.

Hi,

I'm uploading a KS20 WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.23025 (Build 23025 FB)10E WWE Extendir 4MB cache v2 that fixes at least 2 bugs + a registry setting:

- first bug fixed : in date and time menu you couldn't change the time

- snd bug fixed : "ok" and "cross" button where oversized with different MS WM6.5 themes ohter than "blue theme".

- and finally, thanx to MasterDiddy, "Text Magnifier" is now set to "0" by default.

@fmstocco, since I use kitchen v2 base on Ervius visual kitchen, the ROM i make are kind of locked, so unfortunately, it's impossible to personalize them afterwards

@d3thstalker: I v'e worked on 23022 and 23024 which were very messy and I can tell you, this one is a good one, once you get use to the larger menu. Anyway, Stick to 21017 or lower, because 23025 is definitely the new road MS is taking.

Lost 3G connection with 23009

Hi,

I noticed a recurring problem with builds from the 2300x series. When I define a connection for HSDPA/3G networks, everything is working fine until and I can access the internet through 3G without problems. Meanwhile, few days after, the connection becomes defective and I would never obtain an IP from the provider. Deleting it and creating another one would also not help at this point. A hard reset followed by a phone re-configuration would solve the issue.

Today, I finally found a pattern pointing to "Windows Mobile Device Center" (Vista) as the culprit. Once I connect the phone to my PC through WMDC, the connection would not work anymore, ever.

Additional details:

-A 3G connection was established when I connected to WMDC

-The phone is not registered on this PC. It uses WMDC to access the files only.

Anyone else observed a similar problem?
