The Dragon theme goes with our processor since it is a snapdragon. The Dialer is easily fixed. Just replace Dragon_Land.png and Dragon_Port.png in the windows folder with the images you want. Or you can change the following reg entries to whatever images you want:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Portrait\Other]

"bmpNormal"="\\Windows\\Dragon_Port.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Landscape\Other]

"bmpNormal"="\\Windows\\Dragon_Land.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Dialer\Portrait\Other]

"bmpNormal"="\\Windows\\Dragon_Port.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Dialer\Landscape\Other]

"bmpNormal"="\\Windows\\Dragon_Land.png"

Or the final way you can replace it is by installing the LG Dialer Restore cab attached to the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6238569&postcount=2

Keep in mind if you use the cab and want to use the fingerprint scanner as a lock the dialer will not show up on the screen properly when you receive a call while it is locked.

Pretty Please

Thanks Dark. I think the 21907 rom version is the bomb diggity!! No issue for about a week. Super fast and enjoyable with the Leo CPU speed app. **** the Iphone 4 (oops sorry)

I know its silly but is there any way to have rom with Manila/Sense 2.5 cooked into it please? (i am just a poor old noob when it come to cooking roms) or a cab file to install it on your rockin' 21907 rom?

Somthing like this but not vga res (WVGA)

OK guys. I am coming in here as a neutral party, having no prior knowledge of whatever may have happened on another forum.

This thread was created by Dark with the purpose of sharing a ROM designed to improve the usability of your Expos, and the recent conversations taking place serve no purpose other than to pull the thread off-topic. I am going to delete the posts in question and clean up the thread a bit. Nobody is getting banned today, but this post shall serve as your only warning. If the flaming/trolling/whatever returns, people will be given vacations.

Finally, speaking as a chef who got into cooking before the days of drag-n-drop VisualKitchen-type programs that exist today, it is not unrealistic for a chef to spend 50-100 hours getting his kitchen prepped to the point where something bootable will come out of it. I cannot speak to the ease (or difficulty) or cooking for non-HTC devices, but there is nothing wrong with a chef choosing to keep his kitchen private. My policy has always been to only release a complete kitchen when I move on to a different version or device. I would/still do provide any EXT packages or components of the kitchen that someone wants, upon request.

For issues between users, XDA Moderators always advise that you attempt resolution via PM. If nothing good comes from that method, please contact a Moderator, and we will happily get involved and assist in any way possible. Remember, flaming or personal attacks via PM are still vacation-eligible offenses.

I am on version 23568 and igo8 starts up but i have yet to figure out how to make it work with the gps.

on a side note. i hate windows vista i am going to have to wait until i get home to flash v3. i need to hard reset(tom tom breaks the bluetooth on the expo fyi) but i just decided to upgrade.

EDIT: flashed successfully everything seems to be working other than the classic today screen wireless plugin. the bluetooth icon is a big square instead of the "b" that it normally is.

2nd edit: i will test igo8 as soon as i have everything else setup on my expo.

3rd edit. igo8 works with the v3 rom quite well actually. here is a link that will help you get it going http://www.lg-expo.com/third-party-lg-expo-applications/igo8/

hey Im new here and just got my expo a few days ago and flashed this rom. It is faster then the stock one but at the same time i find lots of bugs in it. Also, why isnt there anyother chef's?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] ARHMogul:
Try doing a hard reset after you flash, it helped correct several little errors. The reason there is no other chefs, is because cooking for LG is tough, ive been trying to figure it out for the last couple weeks. There is a write-up your welcome to give it a try yourself. :)

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
Just posted Dragonstorm 23568 v4 for the eXpo. It is based on the latest firmware V10g. I did a lot of searching and can't find an update for the IQ yet. Once there is one we'll be set. I will be releasing updated packages for the kitchen as well.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
thanks dark, I wish i could donate more. what are the changes in v3 vs v4?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
V4 is basically the new firmware and software updates. I did remove the Dragon Dialer that I add since the the fingerprint lockscreen glitched with incoming calls was fixed (was happening only on 6.5.5 roms). The LG dialer is missing the mute button since it was built for 6.5. Once I get my hands on a LG fathom rom I should be able to fix that. A plus to the new base rom is that LG removed their annoying MMS app and replaced it with a Vanilla windows mobile version that those that had Incites would recognize. Also I just noticed today that LG removed their LG contacts from the phone app and are now using the windows mobile version. The signal strength seems better and the fingerprint scanner works better too. There are a lot of minor software updates that are hardly noticeable. Overall the phone seems to run better with the update.

Problems on v4 Rom Install

I am trying to upgrade from your version 3 to version 4 23568 ROM. I am getting an error with the installer which shows a Server Error popup at the "analyzing your cell phone environments" section in gibberish and then asks me to upgrade my software version online(with a link to LG website). Am running on Windows7 in XP mode with administrator privileges. Please advise, and thanks. Rick
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] rparanson:
Here is a link to a screenshot of the error. Tried running in Windows 7 standard mode and same error. http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B2H...JjMTctY2YwZDZkZjI1MDg1&hl=en&authkey=CLzozrsG

Thanks again.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
Interesting. I've never come across this error before. Try deleting the LGMOBILEAX folder and running the flasher again. All make sure that it is being installed to the correct location. For Windows 7 it should be C:\Users\All Users. Another thought is that maybe your Anti-virus or firewall are preventing the install. Try disabling them if it still doesn't work.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
I have had that error before i think that the problem is caused ether buy my anti virus (comodo) or because i had already had the lg incite modem driver installed. anyway what i did was went to another clean windows xp computer and it worked just fine.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] rparanson:
Error resolved

Thanks for the advice. I loaded the v4 rom on a different Win7 machine and installed the USB driver from the installer. Worked like a charm. Nice interface improvements in v4. Thanks! Rick
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
Glad to hear you were able to get the issue resolved.

Wont recognize my SIM card :-(

Just wanted to provide feedback. after successfully flashing my Expo with your ROM it would not recognize my SIM card as being installed. On first boot after the flash I did get a mseeage about the fact that my SIM card is a former Cingular Wireless SIM card and if I wanted to automatically detect the network or something close to that. I said yes but it never did and from then on showed as "No SIM" installed. Is that an issue of me using such an old SIM? Ever seen that before?

I have since flashed back to the LG ROM but wouldnt mind trying yours again if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
did you hard reset after you flashed darks rom? did you leave your sim in when you were flashing?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] stark007:
I did not hard reset after the flash. Didnt see that in the instructions unless I just missed it? And yeah the SIM was in place during the flash process. Wish I would have got the exact verbiage that it stated when it first booted up. It intially detected the SIM as it told me it was a Cingular SIM but then after trying to auto detect the network it just stayed at No SIM and couldn't find any carriers since it could connect to the data service.

Thanks for the quick reply. ;-)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
reflash and take your sim card out before you flash. also when you are done flashing hard reset.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] stark007:
Will do. I'll report back on when completed. Thanks again.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] stark007:

what exactly is the IQ? what exactly is the difference from the expo and iq? how do i find out which i have?

is there any screenshots of this rom and is there any other recommended stable roms? Thanks.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] xdapants:
The IQ is the Telus version.

It is a different model number (gw825) but that's seemingly where the differences end (unless you count pre-bundled software) as the radios for the expo and iq seem to be interchangeable.

Dark's dragonstrom is by far the most popular rom from what I've seen. It's not all blinged out, so any screenshots of wm6.5.x should give you an idea of what it'll look like.

There's a couple of sense based roms available (See lg-expo.com) and cooking one for yourself isn't too difficult if you follow dark's tutorial, but most people find Dark's done such an awesome job they don't need to. ;)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
I just released a Dragonstorm 23568 v5 for the eXpo and IQ. It has a bunch of ports from the LG Fathom, a few added tweaks and WM5torage.

also dark could you pretty please include MonacoTorch in your next rom?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
Ok. I run a slightly different version than I release. The version i run just has a few visual tweaks to suit my tastes. I just flashed the version I released and noticed that mms is missing. This doesn't make any sense to me since nothing changed to stop this from working. I'm looking into it now and will hopefully have it fixed soon.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] John973:
thanks alot dark,

and also would it be possible to not have that dragon screen come up when turning on the phone. it makes me feel like a complete geek having that and I don't want other people seeing that. It is weird. maybe a cab or something to remove it would be sufficient.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
It was brought to my attention that on the eXpo rom for 23134 MMS isn't present. I use a slightly different rom than the one I release which have some visual tweaks that suit my tastes. In the rom I use MMS is working, but when I flashed the version I released I noticed it wasn't. I'm not sure why since the only changes between them are visual and shouldn't effect MMS. I just rebuilt the rom and it works fine. I think there may have been a glitch during the build process last time, but I can't know for sure. I will be taking the 23134 eXpo rom down temporarily, and will be posting a new link once the new rom in uploaded.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
You can replace it with any picture you want. Just name your picture welcomehead.192 and make sure it is a png file. Then you can place it in the windows folder to override the current picture. You may need to put it in a cab to install or use a program such as total commander. Another way is to use Advanced config to change the image. The options are under Splash screen.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
if I delete the welcome head.png image will the expo hang or is that not a problem in this rom?

Some serious annoying problems

Hi dark,

I installed your 23139 latest custom ROM on my expo, not satisfied still.

1) When exiting Message, it freezes. I think it's modemlink what you have mentioned. What can I do?

2) Sometimes the phone just can't turn on, but opening the slide keyboard activates the backlights, but not the phone. I am forced to reset the phone time and time.

3) In configuring buttons, it says there are 6 button functions. I only know the multitask button and the camera button. How it works?

One more problem which is annoying is that when I receive a call, the opponent cannot hear me. I discovered that the only solution is to mute and unmute the respective conversation by pressing the mute button. This is an always occurence.

Another problem that I found is that the microphone gain during talking is pathetically low and I have to enclosed the mic with my palm to augment my speech volume. The fingerprint slider seems to go to sleep state during idle, so the everytime I use the fingerprint slider it starts with not responding, then after one second it works.

I am curious, how is 23139 better than official lg expo x10g ROM?

Thanks for looking.

Thanks dark.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Dark9781:
I know there have been problems with accessing the engineering menu in the roms with the Fathom dialer. I've solved that problem. It should also solve the problem mentioned about the unlock sim menu as well. Attached is a cab for the eXpo and a cab for the IQ. Any future rom releases will have this fix.

NOTE: The cabs also remove assisted dialing and restores the speed dial setup menu.
