Wow!

Dark...I must say, this is by far the best rom I have ever flashed. I recently bought an Expo after having a Tilt forever. I am sooooo glad I did! Even with the "stock" rom, it was way better than the Tilt.

I was a little nervous at first. Flashing this was quite different than flashing the HTC phones I have had in the past. But, I took the plunge. It was actually easier than flashing HTC phones. Not as many steps.

I am even more impressed by my new toy! Your rom flat flies!!!:cool: I think I have finally found a phone I can be completely satisfied with, thanks to you!

I have never done the donation thing...but I am gonna try to send you one. Enjoy a drink on me!

Dragonstorm Roms

I've been reading threads here and in another forum and am really interrested in trying a new rom. I personally have always used the LGIdles on my expo because I liked the layout and customization of it. And I like a "clean desktop". I can't stand to have my picture blocked out by a ton of huge icons or writing. My questions right now are:

Which of the roms is most stable and less buggy than the other versions?

If I was to flash to one of these, would I still be able to use all the same apps that I use now that are WinMo compatible (ie. Wonder Radio, Tiger Woods, Office 2010)?

Will any of them make my phone faster and/or use less battery?

And lastly, Will I still have the app switching ability and the Task Mgr (both of which I can't live without!)?

Thanks for any input on these matters. I'm soooo mad that AT&T and LG left this phone for dead and didn't ever really fix the issues it has, even with the only update they ever gave us. I expected sooo much more given it's hardware and capability! The only thing keeping me with it is the fact that AT&T still has not put a phone with more and better features in their line-up. Even the new LG Quantum is barely compareable.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
All of your programs will work, the task manager is the same.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Electriphead:
Thanks josefscrist, but I'm still unclear of the differences in the roms. Obviously some are previous versions of the up-to-date "final" roms, but some are numbered completely different. As I don't really want to try them all because of time; If someone could please give a brief explaination or overview of the different roms, I'd really appreciate it.

@Dark: Thanks for putting so much time and effort into giving us options! :)

Well, I figured out what i needed to know as far as the roms are concerned. Now I have another BIG problem. I can't flash any of the roms. Not even the v10 rom. I'm using XP and following the directions to the letter as I did the first time around. The problem is that even after an install of the drivers and a reboot, it still says that it doesn't recognize the device! I can't go further if I don't have that connection. All is as it should be on the phone and so on, but the pc will not see the phone. I'm not a true ammeture as this is not my first time modding something, but this time around, I'm stumped. I reinstalled Active Sync and the drivers in this package as well as the ones in the v10 rom install, all fresh and after a reboot. And any combination in between... Nothing is working. But, my phone is still working like it always did because nothing will even start to try and flash. I know that was alot to say, but I wanted to make sure that whoever read it understands that I tried all the basics and then some. Now... Can someone make any suggestions, PLEASE? I really wanna try out this rom.

Do you have the lg incite modem drivers installed? On one of my pcs I had the incite modem drivers installed and my expo would not flash. do you have another pc to flash with?

Want to flash

Hi Guys,

Since this is my first post, I should probably introduce myself - My name is Mike, I am living in Canada, and I just recently got my IQ (yesterday in fact). Telus is now offering this thing for free on a 1year contract, which I couldn't resist.

Anyways, after spending the last few days reading these forums, as well as the last day playing with my phone, I am firmly of the belief that the stock ROM is shyte - too much bloatware and too many things disabled. So I'm pretty eager to flash the thing using Dark's dragonstorm rom.

Before I do so though, can someone just confirm for me that the latest version (and the one I should install) is the one numbered 23139? From the first page of this post, I can see a long list of possible ROM's, including several that are numbered higher than 23139 (like say, 23568).

Intuitively, I always expect that the latest and greatest version of any software is the one with the highest number, but I'm not so sure in this case. Can someone please confirm for me that the version I should be installing on my phone is 23139?

Thanks very much! (and my apologies for the noobie questions)

Mike

PS I LOVE that there is this active and obviously talented community around this phone - thanks in advance to everyone for all their hard work on this stuff!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
yep 23139 is the Latest rom. Glad to have a new person. Welcome to the forum.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Sandmonkee:
Awesome

Well, the installation went fine and the phone definitely seems a lot more responsive now, not to mention far more finger friendly (is it really that hard for LG or M$ to just make the buttons just a little bit bigger???). I also noticed a lot more free space on the device memory versus the stock ROM (~220MB free vs ~170MB). Coupled with Leo's speed thingy and SPB shell, I feel like I'm holding a Star Trek Tricorder rather than a telephone!

Anyways Dark, fantastic job - its obvious you did a lot of work on this, and I hope the donation I sent you will help keep you motivated to continue in the future. I know its not much, but hopefully its at least enough that I can say I bought you a beer!

Off to play with my tricorder! XD

Mike
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] Sandmonkee:
Clarification

While I had success installing the ROM, here's a couple of notes for newbies - just FYI

1. When you run the installer, there are instructions to "hold the lock key and the volume-down key while plugging in the USB cable to get to emergency download". In fact, you have to hold down the space bar on the keyboard. This is mentioned in the instructions at the beginning of this post. Just beware that the instructions in the installer are different from those in this post (the instructions on page 1 of the post are the correct ones). I wasted a bunch of time cuz I read the installer, not the forum post.

2. You will need the LG USB modem drivers to connect in Emergency Download mode (this is the mode the phone goes into for flashing). If you don't have them, don't bother wasting time looking for them, as Dark has included them in the installer. The button to install them will show up automatically if you try to install the ROM without the driver already installed.

In total the flash process took about 7 minutes (if you don't include the 2 days I spent researching ROMs). The longest part was the two hard resets (one before and one after the flash). Dark - if I could make one suggestion, it would be to include the hard resets before and after in your original instructions on page 1 of this post.

If there's anyone out there who is considering doing this but is a little trepidatious about taking the plunge - hopefully I can assuage your fears. I am a complete newbie to this, and it all went off without a hitch. Just follow the instructions, and you'll have no problem.

Bluetooth and 23139 dont work

Hello,

Any body has tried to beam a file from the gw820 to PC using the bluetooth?

i think that it dont work.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
do you mean download with the expo then send the file to the pc over bluetooth? You will need your usb cable for flashing anyway so why not just connect it? also flashing wont work over bluetooth; it is probably not a good idea to try.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Yes, I have transferred files in both directions over Bluetooth.

ROM without titanium interface. Possible?

Hi There

I have been looking at this thread for sometime. I could see the Marvellous work by Dark!! Great Job Dark.

I had installed some of Dark's ROM and all are working fine. But, I didn't like the titanium UI and so, I have removed it now. Dark, is it possible to build a ROM without any UI's? this can give us the option to use whichever we like (SPB, LG Idles etc.). Also, I know that you have removed the LG Idles from the ROM. is there a way we can install this? Grateful, if you can post a cab for this.

Basically, I would like to have a super clean ROM, which only has the OS and the required drivers installed. The rest of the things can be put in seperate cab files and each can chose according to their wish. Please ignore if this is a silly idea.

btw, I have a problem with Vodafone GPRS. Vodafone doesn't provide GPRS for windows mobile. Any idea if we can get around this problem? I tried all the manual settings but was of no use. It connects to EDGE, but can't browse or download anything.

Regards

Basil

Did you have to manually enter your apn settings? Do you have the correct settings for the country that you are in?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] basil001:
Hi,

Yes, I am typing the correct apn and proxy as well. it gets connected too, but its not allowing to browse or download from any of the sites.

Basil
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
Hmm what browser are you using?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] basil001:
I tried IE and Opera 10.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] akumrazor:
you try with dragonstorm 23139? im tring to beam a file from the gw820 to PC (dv6t, x61) but it dont work
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
No, I tried using my own ROM.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] akumrazor:
and you could share your ROM?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
I should be posting it in the next few days, but this is not the thread to discuss that. I just wanted to say that it should work.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] josefcrist:
I would call your carrier and ask for support; if that does not work try flashing again. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] basil001:
Thanks Josefcrist. Not a probs.

Well, is there any hope for a clean rom, at least without a titanium UI?

Regards

Basil
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Well TitaniumUI is included in Windows Mobile 6.5+ by default. It doesn't take up any RAM if you don't use it. Simply go to \Settings\Today\Items and uncheck Windows Default.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] basil001:
Sorry for a delay on the reply!!

Thanks for the information trueg. I had tried dragonstorm, and I could see that the windows and close tabs are at the bottom of the screen.I would like to retain the existing windows mobile functionality. Can this be possible at least?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] sala91:
Any plans for updates?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] vivekiny2k:
wow, this thread has been really silent for a long time. I just bought an LG expo, installed Trueg's ROM and liking it so far.

have a quick question, does anyone know what's the animation at the lock screen which prompts for a finger-swipe called? I would like to have it removed. I know I have to swipe my finger. May be a small button for emergency call and the classic calendar preview on the lock screen.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Hmm, I know what animation you are talking about but it's been a really long time. You just want the stock WM 6.5 unlock screen?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] vivekiny2k:
Yes, with finger print functionality. I searched in the lock CPR file but could not find any reference to the animation.

My wallpaper is totally obscured by this animation.

I got my Desire several days ago, The phone RAM only shows 399MB in Avdanced Task Manager, why? Anyone knows?

Thanks a lot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivicask:
It's the free ram avaible from total. Andorid OS and apps and gadgets they all take its ram.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZUJAZAKON:
I think he meant ATM shows total of 399MB.

According to gsmarena, you get only 120MB free memory for apps...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daming:
yes,

will android 2.2 take all 576MB RAM for system? and give more size(more than 120MB) to apps.

Hi all

Has anyone tried an application called WMLongLife, apparently it's an app that can set your device to 2G when you are do not require 3G but when you use apps e.g. Opera it enables 3G?

My camera died for no reason, it says "unable to switch to preview mode, failed to set up the camera device"

i did flash the radio again but it didn't work, tried switch off and take the battery out for more than 15 mins and it didn't work either.

PLS HELP !! i dont want to hard reset my phone
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
If I'm not mistaken... there is a .CAB file floating around somewhere within this section that has the "original" (OEM) HTC Camera that can simply be installed... perhaps that could resolve your issue.

Otherwise, as far as I know... if it's related to things such as the camera, a hard reset is often advised to prevent any further issues.
[HD2 General] vozxx:
tried to install leo camera 6.26 to my phone it didnt work, do u think its the radio problem? my leo is currently running 2.08 radio.

[Desire General] jstegeman:
Hi,

I've got the ubiquitous HTC flip-clock-with-weather on my main home screen; whenever I unlock the device, I get the weather animation across the full screen. It seems to me that when I have notifications, I cannot pull down the notification bar until the weather animation completes, which is quite annoying. Is there any way to disable that animation (apart from the obvious one of removing the widget)? It's one of those things that was cool when I first got the phone, but grates on the nerves after a while.

Thanks,

John
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Yes, but you still have to remove the widget first.

Add the widget again. You will be given the option to disable "Full screen animation".

(The weather animation never seemed to get in the way of the notification bar for me though...)
[Desire General] jstegeman:
Cheers, that worked a charm!
[Desire General] patp:
When you re-add it you can also set the update frequency which might help some with battery issues. IMO there's no point updating the weather forecast more than twice a day.

i m using wm 6.5 on my old gene and recently i have this problem that the sound on my phone reduces automatically even when the volume is set at the maximum. One more problem is that song i play on my phone seems to play faster than their actual speed. i tried trying hard reset and even tried with a new rom but no use.... can anyone help me with the issue???

Dude i m facing d same problem.....

I don knw hw to permanently fix this issue..

but i hv 2 methods which can temprory fix it..

Method 1 : Call any number ( for example the customer care or ny other u want ) and then switch the phone to loud speaker mode.. den disconnect the call. Nw ur sound becomes loud again lyk before.. !!!

Method 2 : Put the headset nd play any song/music , then remove the Headset.... Sound gets back w normal..

njoy !!!

Hope this will work for u...
[P3400 ROM Development] ameetbora:
is there any permanent fix to it and what may causing it?? any answers??
[P3400 ROM Development] jays_12:
Hey Guys....

I have just found that In my case this problem only happened when I use Reliance GSM.

And the solution is turn on flight mode and turn it off by doing this your device will go normal again. And yes you can use CT Scheduler for turn on-off flight mode automatically.

This is not a permanent fix but something is better than nothing. I hope it will help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Linuxuberant:
How can I join an Android device to a Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) as a client? In some areas, the only internet connection available would be to tether it through another cell phone via bluetooth PAN (other phone has no wifi).

Solutions that require rooting or config file editing are OK.

I've searched alot, but all results are about going the other way - tethering other devices through the Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
It's Linux, man, all you need is setting network config :-) I was using reverse tethering for some time, this is my script (run on PC):

sudo pand --listen --role NAP
adb shell pand --connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
sudo ifconfig bnep0 192.168.101.1
adb shell ifconfig bnep0 down 192.168.101.2 up
adb shell route add default gw 192.168.101.1 dev bnep0
adb shell setprop net.dns1 192.168.101.1

Of course you should omit 1st and 3rd lines.

Are you sure second phone supports PAN connections, not DUN? PAN is quite complicated for phone, because it requires full NAT.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
And you will have problems with Android Market and some other apps. Internet is configured at linux level, Android OS don't know about it, so if application asks: "Do we have internet connection?", Android replies: "No". Android Market will wait for connection even if there is one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Linuxuberant:
I believe that is a valid concern. Anyone know how to deal with this? Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
But most of the apps don't check internet status and just use it - they will work. AFAIR I couldn't use Market, GTalk and syncing feature, but Browser, Gmail and many, many more was working.

If you have any WiFi device then you could connect Android to it. Even if it doesn't share internet connection, Android OS will think, that it does (but will use BT connection configured at linux level :-) ) - then any app should work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haxxy:
At work I got a laptop with windows XP, There's a wireless network but it's EAP secured and I can't connect to it with the phone (Motorola Milestone - Android 2.1).

Did you manage to make internet work through Bluetooth PAN? I just need to use the borwser, so It's not important if market or other apps don't work.

I have android sdk with adb on my laptop and terminal emulator with busybox on my phone. I'm kind of a newbie in this so some hints would be nice. I think many people like me would be gratefull
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
And my first post was about what, you think? :-) I don't use it now, but I was reverse-tethering through BT for several months, until I bought some data plan.

Above commands should work for you, but... they will let you connect your phone to PC, but I don't know, how to share internet connection on Windows XP. AFAIR I tried to do it, but failed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haxxy:
There's a bluetooth network icon. I know it's possible to share the internet connection from my ethernet to the other network cards. So this should work also with the bluetooth network.

I will try the commands and see how it goes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Unfortunately not ;-) It is a cost of easy-clicking-configuration that Windows has - it's very limited, don't work for BT connections. I guess there is some professional software for internet sharing on Windows, but I don't know one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haxxy:
I did this with my symbian phone. I managed to share internet to the bluetooth network, but the phone had a bluetooth PAN profile that connected to my laptop.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psb777:
No! Already I have a bluetooth network set up on my Ubuntu Laptop - pand is running and there is a dhcp server monitoring the interface. What I need is not the below advice, which are commands to run on the PC, but an application / utility / instructions for enabling BLUETOOTH PAN CLIENT on Android. That is what the original question was too! Anybody?

Paul Beardsell
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
4 of 6 lines of my instructions were for setting Android client: connecting, setting IP, routing and DNS. And yes, they are run on Android, not on PC - I thought you will notice "adb shell" prefixes... You can also use dhcpcd instead of last 3 lines, but if you don't understand, what are you doing, you will have problems anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androyonisus:
Maybe anyone with Froyo can confirm that there's still no official option for joining a Bluetooth PAN from Android there?

@Brut.all So I guess there's currently no way to kind of telling Android there's a configured connection on Linux level?

By the way, every Mac allows the creation of a Bluetooth PAN with one click so this would be my usage scenario ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trphunk:
This seems like it should work, and indeed I can use a similar technique from an ubuntu laptop to connect to another device, but my HTC Hero doesn't seem to have hcitool or pand installed on it. I downloaded some prebuilt binaries for them but they don't seem to be able to access the bluetooth device:

# /data/tmp/pand --role PANU --connect 00:17:83:0F:0F:C7 -n

pand[5083]: Bluetooth PAN daemon version 3.36

pand[5083]: Connecting to 00:17:83:0F:0F:C7

pand[5083]: Connect to 00:17:83:0F:0F:C7 failed. No route to host(113)

Do all versions of Android come with pand and hcitool? I'm on 1.5 although I'll be reflashing to 2.1 soon.

"find / -name pand" yields no results :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
No, it was added by rom cookers and I don't know how they did this. I think there are missing some kernel modules or something like that.
