[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] farahbolsey:
some news!!!

sorry for my absence since quite a few weeks now..

I post to tell you I won't make anymore updates of my ROM. My Ks20's microphone died after almost 2 years of loyal service...(RIP my good old friend and thanx for the fun we had together!!!)....so I got a new phone.

Anyway, Arthemus, apart from the great ROMs he does, did a very good job too with his cooking class that I strongly recommand you to have a look at. Anyone of you can now learn how to cook by himself.

One last word, thanks to all of you who tried my ROMS and appreciated my work.

Hi everyone,

I've managed to port WM 6.5 to LGKS20. It's WWE and works with unbranded KS20. The workaround for branded Ks20 to use my rom is to unbrand your branded nv2. This done, you'll have to flash in emergency mode leaving the "none" option as it is in LGDMP (do not choose erase EFS).

For branded phone see this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3885747&postcount=555

For general questions about Nv2, Branded or unbranded phones, flashing, go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405945

and here you'll find a complete LG KS20 FLASHING GUIDE + PROGRAMS + drivers compiled by ibanezman192 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548447

To go back to your original ROM (10B,C...,Kiss 20..), Right after first start, use "Windiag.cab" to enable windiag. Then soft reset the phone. Now you can use the engineer menu 2676625720# and flash in normal mode if necessary.

I won't be held responsible for any bad things happening to you.

How to use Extendir:

How to make your own ROM

:

Issues to work on:

- GSM driver resets on resume after standby (but I considere this issue minor with the workaround mentioned below).

- Annoying battery warning (detail)

Answers to questions:

*video call problem?

I set the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

"Enabled"=dword:1 to 0

"ext"="LgePhoneExt.dll"

with this setting you can't make video calls anymore, but it makes the GSM reload much faster (from 8-9 sec to 2-3 sec)

*GSM signal disconnect problem

see video calls problems

*missed call notification issue?

The workaround is to install "MagiCall" http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html. (informations provided by Raykisi, thanx)

*is bluetooth working properly?

-I've successfully connected my samsung wep300

*low battery notification?

Happens when ks20 is fully charged

*engineering menu?

Engineer menu is fully fonctional. After first start, install "Windiag.cab".

thanx Thorus for ideas and testings, Spocky for ks20 kitchen and tweaks on previous roms that made work easier, Arthemus and Raykisi both for unbranding my nv2 and more, Majorasshole for Presets , ShaDrac for Extendir and PresetsInstaller, Da_G and JooJooBee for the files they provide...
