[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rickou26:
hello,

@All,

I again uploaded on madiafire M2D patched.

@hachi-roku, here is M2D.exe UPX (437K). You can also try to compress PNG to free some memory. I did some tests to replace the menu Chome, but the result does not really satisfy me. It makes about 2 to 3M.

@FromHell28, we must respect the installation procedure indicated on the post. Everything works fine.

Edit: @hachi-roku, S.V.I Manila 2D 2.0 Optimization Files. A test. Remember to keep your M2D.exe patched !

Before connecting your phone to the pc, pls set your phone to USB conection. Maybe you can have a try. In the case that your KS20 begins to recharge the batterY. So your USB cable is good.

Hi,

I propose a new WM 6.5 build 21916 COM2 (0409 only !) -> Médiafire folder

I made some minor driver update and I moding Titanium plugin (larger display images and wifi connected)

NRGZ28 "The 21916 Build which is the most reliable, fast and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner".

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KinChungE:
nice!, is it WM 6.5 (neither 6.5.3 nor 6.5.5)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rickou26:
Hi,

ypsmav

"a) 219xx = COM2, WM 6.5.0

The latest one I found is the 21916.

This build does not include finger friendly buttons, but it's the most stable, less memory demanding, fast and the one which is giving no problems with WM6.1 software. All programs I works perfect (activesync, Tomtom, games, etc.) including those for older WM versions.

ROMs based on this branch will giv you less problems for a everyday use. "

:D

Is there any workaround for this? Maybe we could try an older driver?

Anything else with this build is fine. Its fast and stable.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tonitiger:
Glad that you are back...

Just that you know:

The 21916 Rom is the best WM6.5 Rom that was ever running on my KS20 (except the errors). Everything runs smooth and fast, almost no more waiting when opening folders and programs.

Its Perfect for using it with Manila2D cause of the small white (text) buttons and the removed taskbar....

One more error i noticed is that when you are in certain menus no white (text) buttons appearing but you are able to click on the place where they have to be.

(E.g. when you are calling somebody.)

Some more questions:

1.

Ever tried to install HTC Album 3.0, HTC Dshow 2.0 and HTC Phone Canvas 4.0? I tried it. I think HTC Album 3.0 and Phone Canvas 4.0 are running good. But when i install Dshow, Manila2d wont start till i installed every thing new.

Did somebody else tried that? Why are those files missing at the KS20 Mediafile folder.

2.

Did somebody ever tried to overclock the KS20?

I found one good tool that is running (OCT_V-1.5) but it detects the wrong speed and isn't able to overclock. Never the less the manual says that it is supporting all MSM7200 CPUs.

Hi to all from Turkey,

I'm thinking to buy LG KS20. I have some questions for the users.

- How long does it takes for the battery time? I mean in normal use.

- Is it possible to install Turkish WM 6.5?

- Which WM more stable for KS20, 6.1 or 6.5?

Few issues re 21916

Hi rickou26,

First of all, thank you for the great work you're doing cooking these ROMs.

Second, 21916 is the fastest cooked ROM I've used for the last 2 years (including Farah's), hope would be stable enough as well - time will show.

Third, I would like to report some issues I found so far:

Well known WiFi problem is still a case. I can connect perfectly the first time, but every next time it just hangs in Connecting status until I reset the device

Could not find a way to set up my alarms' ringtones (used to be able in previous versions)

All Bluetooth settings screens are in French :confused:

On Today's screen the row showing the clock aligns the other information (Date, WiFi status etc.) on the right but items are half displayed/half hidden by the screen's right edge

Regards,

B.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rickou26:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KinChungE:
actually no screenshots can be made, because there won't be any error message

the wi-fi can only be sucessfully connected in either conditions:

1. the AP is running without encryption

OR

2. it is the first time you are trying to connect to a wi-fi AP after boot

otherwise, it will always shows "Connecting..." with the animated logo on the status bar, and it never get connected

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KupoB:
The problem is not the files themselves, but the lack of a way to choose/set them in the alarm.

What should I do with the attached .rar?

Noticed that it only happens when I switch to Bulgarian locale. Sure why WM decides to use full month name instead of abbreviated one. :confused:

5) And one more thing (used to be a case in previous versions as well): Missed call displayed on Today's screen is not the last one but the previous call.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eyeseal:
Thank you

This one used the size "32x32" so I hv to change it.

But I found that the winmo crashed after I got Chinese Support installed in 25016.

Therefore I gave up using 25016 and started using 23563 0404.

After the installation of 23563, I changed the font to the Chinese Windows 7 default font which needs ClearType since the default font of winmo is not beautiful.

However, I found that only the words on the bottom bar couldn't be cleartyped while other words could be cleartyped and the words are very ugly.

Then I searched it, and found that 235xx does not support cleartype on the bottom bar. But there is a patch (OEM) for 235xx to enable ClearType on the bottom bar.

Then I downloaded the patch and tried to convert exe dll folders into .exe .dll files and replaced the existing files in the rom 23563 (Also rgu->reg and it is imported). But after that the phone froze on the boot screen (LG logo).

I am wondering that the patch will work if it is cooked into the rom.

So could you include this patch in the rom 23563_0404?

I can help you test whether the patch works or not.

The attachment below is the ClearType Patch (OEM).

Big thanks!

-> battery status-icon seems confusing. phone turns off at 30%, and still shows 30% after reboot, and turns off again.

but maybe this is an issue of my battery, as it had such problems in the previous ROM.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PandaKiller:
Ken I use my branded nv2?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] STEELBAS:
If you're using WIFI, your operator shouldn't make any difference, I think. Have you tried turning off all security of your wifi router? I myself use some simple MAC-address filtering for WIFI security (not the safest option, I know), and added the phone's MAC address to the filter. But you could even test out your network without such filtering, first, just to see if WIFI itself will work.

So try turning off any encryption for your router (i.e. WPA, WEP, etc.) and see if that works. Then you know if the problem lies with your phone's hardware or not.

On another note:

rickou26: Are you still working on a new version of a rom with build 21916? I am waiting for this before flashing my phone again, but if you are not working on it, I'll just try the newest version of build 21916 that I can find in this forum thread :)
