[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] DorkyDev:
But any word on the cooked rom yet? LoL

I'm getting a LG Fathom in a week or so and don't want anything that was originally installed on it.

Getting it for the exact reason someone else said, I'm a WinMo diehard fan upgrading from a TP2. Chose this phone specifically for it's likeness to the TP2 even being able to use XDAndroid.

Hopefully I got this phone just in the knick of time to have a nice clean kick ass rom on it too. LoL

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/lg-fathom/147499-kitchen-released.html

Look through this thread. It seems to be where most of the active development is. There's a few ROMS that have been released, althought they're a bit bugged right now as I and the other cooks are currently busy with life.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] DorkyDev:
Cool I hope and pray the LG Fathom rom scene is just now getting started and coming to life for a bit... It'd be sweet.

So are there any basic bare minimum roms yet? I wanna use my own or a create a today screen ui theme, instead of Titanium or Sense (Sense because of how ram hungry it is) but maybe WAD2 or ThrottleLauncher
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] pizzaboy192:
I know there's a few that were released, but they're just de-OEM'd right now. In the process of doing that, we broke a few things.

i'll look into pulling out as much as I can and still getting a running ROM. I haven't fiddled with pulling out Titanium yet, but I'll see what can all go and make a good ROM still.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] DorkyDev:
Cool yea, I'm a member at PPCG too and SPJ and PDAPhoneHome and MoDoCo as well. LoL

How well does the Fathom compare to the TP2? Or is it like two sides of a coin? Fastness I mean, I always hated my TP2's lag when I had everything installed, then the buggy slide to answer half the time. LMAO Slide to answer, then it just hangs and hangs and the phone keeps ringing. WTF!

But I think I'll love the Fathom due to the process and being able to do XDAndroid as well.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] pizzaboy192:
Comparing the Fathom to the TP2 is like night and day. My mother has a TP2 and I've always felt impatient when trying to use it after I've used my Fathom.

The Fathom's only shortcoming is the limited amount of RAM, but when configured right, you'll never notice. I usually have 60+MB of free memory on my phone and never go under 30M while using it. I've been able to run Skype, Google Maps, my email, Slacker, and emulate a PS1 game all at the same time.

I use Titanium on my phone, and a few of the panels that I have eat a decent amount of RAM. when i switch to Today I usually have 90+ mb free on a fresh boot.

There are a few hiccups right now with the Fathom that I haven't figured out. The current ROMS that are built still have an issue with 3G connectivity that makes the 3G drop if you're on Verizon and run some heavy data for a few minutes (Torrent, Skype, Slacker, Downloads) But otherwise it's fine.

If you can find an extended battery and battery door (about $30-40 online) then you'll really see the phone shine. On a GSM network, the Fathom will get about 2 days without data usage, and my Verizon one will get me about 26 hours on a charge when I remember to close out programs.

It seems to be a stable phone for the most part. When I get some more time (I have Thanksgiving break soon, and I plan to sync my Kitchen to my netbook) I'll see if I can build another ROM or two that are more lean and less bug filled.

For now, there's 4 ROMs posted on PPCGeeks. The ones without PowerMobia are somewhat broken, but easily fixed (just copy\paste a dll file into \windows and reboot)

There is zero lag on the phone when running programs. Even Opera Mobile 10 rarely shows a loading screen. Most programs don't even get that far. They're up and running as soon as you hit the icon.

If there's any requests that you have for Roms, direct them to the thread on PPCGeeks and we'll take care of the rest.

Thank you very much for this, I was looking all over for info how to flash, I went to PPCGeeks, even that LG Expo forum site, ah you are a life saver :D
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] DorkyDev:
You can also flash more custom rom's via LGNPST, it's a bit trickier though also if ya like HTC Sense it's out for the Fathom but no wallpaper support.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthOps:
Hi,

I was wondering if some of the smart folks at xda could answer this question:

What have Orange UK done to their sims/phones that cause a network lock when you upgrade the radio?

I know you can just flash an older radio and everything will be fine but I don't understand WHY there is an issue when the radio is upgraded.

Anyway, looks like I'm unlucky, I tried to get an unlock code for my desire but have found that my IMEI doesn't exist in the database the guy was using (he told me that there would be a db update in a few days and refunded my money, decent guy!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
Did you update the radio and keep orange rom? or update radio and also change rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthOps:
I have flashed an unbranded rom (currently running the modaco rom) and I want to upgrade my radio but everyone who bought their phone from orange seems to get a network locked message when they upgrade their radio to the latest version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Not sure why this happens, but I would advise you not to upgrade to the latest radio (32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2) if you are sim-locked to Orange. The solution would be to have the phone unlocked allowing you to flash the radio and not have the Network Locked message appearing.

When you tried and failed to have it unlocked, was this directly via Orange themselves?

Try this company - http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/HTC/Desire/

Seem to be pretty efficient and provide the unlock code within 30 mins, not a bad price either.

Here are some reviews about them: http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews136584.html
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthOps:
I've actually tried that company and two others, every one of them has said that my IMEI number does not appear in the database. I just got the phone on Thursday, could that be the reason it doesn't seem to exist in the databases yet?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
I think so... because it's probably a newer version of the Desire, HTC's databases (where the code is requested from) might not be updated yet.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmoono:
Regarding the unlocking - i had the same issue, desire 2 weeks old orange. Found a thread on xda mentioning an ebay unlocker - took the plunge, 30 mins 8.99!! after 3 other sites failed with database excuse! ebay item: 300434867258

I would never have dreamed of trusting an ebay unlocker, but have to eat my words, this one cheap, quick and pleasant!:D

I unlocked, made goldcard, ran generic rom 1.15, setup wifi, allowed update to install - all good no wifi issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthOps:
Unfortunately that is the very ebayer that I tried, he did refund me my money really quickly though, I just hope my code gets into a database soon :(

Does orange have to tell HTC that they have sold the phone so it gets into their database, I would have thought that it would be in the database as soon as it left the factory!?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakedecake:
I used unlock-systems.com after another vendor couldn't provide my code and refused to give me a refund. Paypal refused to give me a refund too so I'll be avoiding those cowboys in future. :mad:

No really. What a messy forum there... 30% totally spam topics, and lot's of duplicated questions everywhere.

No admins or moderators there?

Especially HTC Hero General.

You didnt get the idea. I didn't blame any admin. I think they have enough things to do. I am just wondering, where are warning, bans, etc.

Maybe we need some, 3 warning and ban for a week? If someone was helpfull, i could give him +1 point, if not -1. System like that.

And there is not enough FAQs, News, Notes in start of forums.

Also maybe there is not enough of admins?

Its a a vary hard system to Police when you go down the warning side of things and points i have seen it split up a forum before as the ban was not agreed with by the members and they boycotted the forum because of it not saying thats the same in every case.

I have a problem with setting android to only use 2G networks. I can tick an option under settings "Use only 2G networks" but after i leave the settings menu it gets "unticked" again threfore i,m constantly on 3G which wouldn't be a problem but in the areas where there is no 3G signal android loses signal and wont connect to 2G network. I can turn off 3G under winmo tof orce android to only use 2G networks but it takes time. My question is can anyone successfully setup their android to use only 2G networks?

Same Problem

I´m having the same problem and for me it´s worse because it drain my battery really fast (don´t last more than 4 hours).

Could somebody please fix it as soon as possible because this way is really difficult to use android as main OS.

When I put a Sim Card that doesn´t have 3g I don´t have this battery problem.

I hope somebody could help me with this problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] odz:
could someone please look into this? 3G kills my tilt realy fast too. this is the only thing stoping my from using android as my main os.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Try this:

$ su

# rwsystem

# nano system/build.prop

Find the part that says something about default_network=0. Try changing it to 1. Save with dpad-center+x, then y and enter.

# rosystem

Restart your phone to have it take effect. I'm currently trying out the value 3 which is "use GSM or WCDMA, whichever provides the strongest signal" and it seems to work better for me. Before I often had switched to Roaming after calls and somethings loosing connection completely, but I have only tested it for a short time so I'm not 100% sure if it helped or not.

Next release will include scripts to change this and some other things easily.

Oh, and the value 1 is supposed to be "GSM only" so it might help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
Kalt, should we change this "ro.telephony.default-network=0"? to "1"

If so, it didn't work for me . I'm still on 3G.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Yes that's the one. Well, getting information about the settings in build.prop isn't easy. I'm don't know if the information I found was a fact or just a guess.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
Kalt does this issue also occur while running Android from Nand?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Takiyon:
HELP!!!

I have tried everything here and still no 2G. I love android but battery life sucks. There has to be a way to force 2G all the time. 3G is great but if batterylife will suffer so badly I want to turn it off perminently. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm using VaniljEclair RLS7c and I have been messing with the scrips in the update and still nothing after reeboot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
I have tried everything too with almost all builds (1.6 2.1 and 2.2). My opinion is that ro.telephony.default-network command do not work on Kaiser. If ro.telephony.default-network is removed from build.prop nothing happens. Maybe TelephonyPprovider.apk is something to do with 2G 3G switching.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Takiyon:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] illegal2008:
Please help us!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Neotype33:
I agree,

Would be great to be able to force certain networks. If you look at the power usage/ per network the faster the network the more power it consumes. I'd like to be able to by default use the low speed and switch it to fast when I'm really using the phone. My EVO has a 4G widget switch. If it didn't the phone would be worthless to me as 4G in my area is not great. 2hrs 4G on (with no 4g network) = -40% battery... Love to do the same for 3G as that would save "about" 20% more battery life alone. I might get a whole day of use without charging... :D

http://www.android-cellphones.org/android-motorola-droid-tricks-disable-3g.html/

I've tried that a while ago and it didn't work for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
I've bin going thru htcgeneric-ril.c (source of libhtcgeneric-ril.so), provided in another topic and noticed this lines:

switch (rat)
{
case 0: at_rat = "1,2"; break;/* Dual Mode - WCDMA preferred*/
case 1: at_rat = "0"; break; /* GSM only */
case 2: at_rat = "2"; break; /* WCDMA only */
}

Could there be a solution lurking in those lines to ongoing 2G/3G switching problem on Kaiser devices with Android?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Those look like the settings from the phone information screen in testing, it's certainly the right area to be looking in.

Question: who's gonna be brave enough to hack htcgeneric-ril.c and recompile that lib? ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
I already asked n2rjt to do it, if it's possible - still waiting for his reply. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Isn't that the setting we control with ro.telephony.default_network in build.prop?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
I think so. The question is how to make that damn thing to work.(I apologize for the terms, but again I have to reinstall build.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Notice the #ifdef USE_IDCC_MODEM in the code. I wouldn't be suprised if that code is disabled in our lib. Not sure if it works if enabled but I will try to find out.

EDIT: First of all it doesn't compile but other than that it seems our phone does not support the AT+XRAT command.

EDIT2: This also means, asfaik, that the default_network ril property that we sometimes use in build.prop is pointless with our current libhtcgeneric-ril.so.

EDIT3: I think I'm on to something... Stay tuned...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
:D:D Not 100% sure yet but I think I got my Kaiser locked on GSM only right now. Now I just need to do some changes to libhtcgeneric-ril.so and we may soon be able to control this with the the default_network variable.

Advanced users, try this in a terminal:

$su

# echo -e "AT+BANDSET=0\r" > /dev/smd0

# echo -e "AT+CGAATT=2,1,1\r" > /dev/smd0

Then enter airplane mode and exit it again and you should be locked on GSM only (2G).

To switch back use 2,1,0 and to lock to 3G only use 2,1,2
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Here you go... While the build.prop parameter doesn't seem to change anything, this procedure actually works: http://www.android-cellphones.org/android-motorola-droid-tricks-disable-3g.html/

It will list it as unknown as I haven't hacked the getpreferrednetwork code yet. But changing it between wcdma preferred, GSM only and WCMDA only works.

Compiled for Eclair but may work on Froyo too. Has all the recent changes as network location and SIM card pincode support.

EDIT: Not sure if the setting survives a reboot but I'll check that ASAP.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SuperJMN:
Thanks, Master Kallt! You're keeping our devices hot! This change could really improve the battery life when we don't need high speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
Wohoooo, great, great. Adb pushing it to CM6 Kaiser Froyo. Will report if it works.

What did you actualy change in the code?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milanche:
Seems to be working well on CM6 Froyo! Fantastico!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Well since the SIM pincode stuff was found in the htc diamond project I thought that they may have some more useful things... and guess what, they did. :D

But basicly, the change was to use AT+CGAATT command instead of the AT+XRAT command. The source is here: http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/android-htc-ril/blobs/diamond/htcgeneric-ril.c

And the interesting part starts at line 814. I'm going to do some minor tweaks like making setting 0 the default if anyone tries a non supported setting and also I will try to fix the function that reports the current setting. Perhaps getting that to work makes it possible to set this in the build.prop variable?

Oh, and btw, right now, it does not survive a reboot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
I just wonder how a Vogue reacts... but if it breaks something I can add some checks to make sure the code does not run on non-gsm phones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
New version, this one also reads and reports the correct setting.

The only supported ones are:

WCDMA preferred

GSM only

WCDMA only

Setting anything else will defailt to WCDMA preferred.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Hopefully the last version. Added some checks to make the code only runs on gsm phones (Kaiser & Polaris).

I also noticed that you can now select "Use only 2G networks" in settings. I had to reselect my network operator after that but maybe I didn't wait long enough?

The setting doesn't seem to survive reboot though but it sure beats typing *#*#4636#*#* so I guess it may be good enough for now.

And as usual it is compiled for Eclair but reports say it works fine on Froyo too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
btw, I've got some lines added to my userinit.sh that makes it set GSM-only at boot time. Seems to work.

#
# Set GSM only at boot time

echo -e "AT+COPS=2\r" > /dev/smd0

echo -e "AT+BANDSET=0\r" > /dev/smd0

sleep 2
echo -e "AT+COPS=0\r" > /dev/smd0
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
You propably going to swear out loud now but I actually did a last minute change after posting the last version in this thread. I added some delays in the network changing process that may or may not make it work a little better.
