Porting LG Fathom ROM (v5) to eXpo/IQ - eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development

I've spent the last little while porting the LG Fathom ROM (v5) to my LG IQ to see if there is anything from it that I want to add to my own ROM before I add the finishing touches. Is anyone else working on this by chance?
Here is where I am at....
Home Screen:

}
- Not much to see here. the Verizon Theme is pretty dark. They re-arranged the list, added favorite contacts and changed text to message.
Start Menu:
- The start menu lists several new additions
Message - SMS/MMS replacement​Visual Voice Mail - Verizon VVM​Mobile Email - Outlook E-mail replacement​Mobile IM - AIM, WL & Yahoo IM Client​City ID - App & Plugin that shows contact city name based on number​VZ Navigator - Verizon GPS Navigation​World Clock - It's a world clock​Office Mobile 2010 - upgraded to 2010 from v4​
Settings:
- Lock Key is a new addition to the main settings screen. Enabling this app causes your phone to resume to lock state from suspend state.
Connections:
- Normally Beam is hidden here. The only new addition is Switch USB. This app allows you to switch between RNDIS mode, Dial-up modem mode and USB Mass Storage.
Personal:
- Voice Commands is the configuration interface for Nuance, the voice command app included instead of MS Voice Command.
System:
- Several changes were made in the System folder. The icons and programs for Backlight, Power and System Information were updated. The CPL Sensors was added (Proximity, Backlight & Rotation sensor control). ClearStorage has moved to become a tab under Memory and WirelessLAN appears to have been removed although the exe is still included in OEMMisc. Finally the GPS program port has changed to COM5 instead of GPD9.
Dialer:
- LG has updated the Dialer for the Fathom. The appearance is very similar, but corrected to match the WM 6.5.x screen structure (small taskbar, large bottom bar with touch buttons).
On-screen Keyboard:
- The on-screen keyboard has been updated. Again you don't get an on-screen keyboard in landscape mode.
Lockscreen:
- LG added Gesture Unlock (\Settings\Lock). It allows you to unlock your phone and launch an app based on the gesture you enter.
LG Camera:
- LG removed the Flash setting from the camera app (since the Fathom has no flash) and clicking on the Album button (bottom right) now takes you to Pictures & Videos (the 3D LG Album has been removed).
***
Next post will discuss specific apps and current issues
TrueG

Issues:
City ID:
This app is pretty cool. You can enter a number and it will tell you what city is it from. More importantly, there is a plug-in for the dialer that will tell you the city you are calling or being called from. It requires the LG dialer and the city name shows up in the dialer and the lock screen.
I have the plug-in working, but when I try and use the app, it tells me to restart the phone. Since everything but OEMDrivers & OEMDriversHigh have been ported, there must be a setting in the RGU or a missing file, although I don't really care about the app, it's the plug-in that has real value.​
Lock Key:
The Lock Key app under settings would be very useful. The app simply sets a value in the registry (HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyLock\EnabledKeyLock=1) but I can't get it to work. I'm guessing a different keypad driver is required (or whichever DLL deals with the power button).​
Gesture Unlock:
Although this appears to be running (screen comes up in lockscreen and I can make gestures), I can't get it to unlock using a gesture. Technically, I'm not really interested in this function, so I haven't spent much time on it.​
Switch USB:
I've spent a bit on time on this one, but I can't get it work 100%. I can get it to open without error and I can switch between ActiveSync mode and VZAccess Manager mode. When I try to use USB Mass Storage mode, I get the error "Insert SD Card". I've tried every dll that I can think of, but nothing gets past this error. It may be that the VS750 uses a different address for the SD card slot and it may never work on our device without a patch. Although I may skip trying to get it to work. As it is with ActiveSync and VZAccess Manager, you need to reset between changes. If you need to reset between switching to USB Mass Storage, then I am not interested. I can already use WM5torage to activate USB Mass Storage on demand.
Also, I was able to switch it to USB Mass Storage mode by modifying the registry.
Change HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\DefaultClientDriver from RNDIS to Mass_Storage_Class and reboot. When the phone comes back up it will be in USB Mass Storage mode (\OEM\OEMDrivers\usbmsfn.dll required)​
Backlight & Power:
LG updated the Backlight & Power control panels to support the WM 6.5.x tab structure (select between pages using top arrows. Neither works properly. For example in \Backlight\Brightness you can't change the brightness level. Using Backlight.dll from the Fathom doesn't work with our Backlight. Power properly shows the power level, but the advanced controls don't work.​
Sensor:
The Sensor control panel app works perfectly.​
Clear Storage:
Clear Storage is now found under \Settings\System\Memory although I can't get it to work. I get the error, NV Reset is failed. I don't want to play around with this and accidentally brick my phone.​
LG Dialer:
No problems.​
***
Does anyone else have experience porting over LG Fathom apps? I would be interested to hear issues or fixes other people have run into.
TrueG

Looks good, I'm about to start building my own Expo ROM as soon as exams are over.

thanks for all you work on this trueg, looks great! how is development on it so far? Would it be possible for you to release the OEM files you modified so others can cook their own roms?

[REQ] Need a shortcut to toggle Bluetooth on/off

I am using a BT handsfree in my car. I need a quick method to toggle BT on/off mith the minimum of clicks. Ideally, on the home screen.
Any solution is appreciated, also existing apps/tweaks whatsoever.
The option to keep BT all the time on is not acceptable, due to many reasons eg. battery consumtion.
Thanx
Search for vjvolubilis. It's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911
try ammars or panoshas action screens (search for them in this section of the blackstone apps)
work a treat - ammars action screen enables bluetooth with discoverability and panoshas just enables bluetooth
Hi!!
Try Launch Manager...its veeeery goood
you my use the previous tips or just get that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362115, simplest of possibilities....this cab add to your programs an icon which tapped make your bluetooth on and discoverable mode....tap it again and it will switch it of.
AEButton Plus will do what you're after. I have it set to a tripple press of the up volume button (double is WiFi toggle, single: Volume) but you can set it to anything, even a single press.

It's not actually only the toggle, it's a whole software to programmatically change buttons behavior.
Don't know what you mean with two files, all you need is a .cab file. Simply comy it somewhere to device (e.g. onto mictoSD per USB cable) and then start it in Windows Explorer.
During install you will get the settings window, where you can perform settings as I suggested above.

put the two files into a folder on your phone. mine are in a folder in program files on my storage card. then open up two windows on your pc. the first window with the the files in on your phone and in the second got to windows/start menu/programs on your phone. then just drag and drop with the right click of your mouse the bluetooth file. when the menu appears choose create shortcut here. exit all windows and go to your phone. you will now find the shortcut in your programs. hope this helps

This is an HTC Excalibur ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread. This will also work on the TMobile Dash (which is what's it's primarily setup for) and any other Excalibur variations.
I always build my ROMs with three main goals.
Eye candy.
Speed!
Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.
I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications are already set, as well as a background and key shortcuts.
I usually make 2 versions of the ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.
Here are the different versions and what they mean.
"IE6" includes the new IE6 browser
"IE5" includes the older IE5 browser (less RAM being used).

Messenger & windows live with ROM
Hello,
I've started to test this ROM. and the beginning is very good.
Could someone help me to install messenger?
I have a cab but it contains only windows Live, without messenger.
Thanks a lot!!!!

looks like you're using ookbas 96dpi cab... if you are then uninstall it
MMS
1. There is no interface to configure MMSC setting (had to do it via registry)
2. there is no default app for jpg viewing
Apart from this, seems very stable and fast.
Nice rom.
Did you take out the VPN ?
If yes: do you have the Connection Setup Tool cab ? Then the original HTC cab is too old..
the jpg association can be fixed this way:
open resco explorer, find any .jpg file, choose "action\open with", click "always use this program to open this file type" checkbox, and then choose menu/browse. from list select pimg.exe (this is picture viewer). choose select (left soft key) and done, now the jpg file is opened as usual.
Once again you cooked up a very nice rom. Thanks for the tip on how to fix the .jpg association issue. I just found it when trying different things out and someone already posted the fix for it.
Anyway it does seem that the connection setup does use older data then what I had before. It has not caused a problem yet but just thought I would mention it.
No voice dial?
Just found out, the long pressing of home key opens "All notes", and there is no way to record a voice dial for my contacts...
I understand there are people with no use for voice dial, but is there a cab out there to fix this?

Another workaround for the .JPG issue is install XNVIEW app.. it´s free and it´s not a big fat pig (when you think about resources)... Grab it here.
Nice job, Nrg. Thank you.
I´m updating my guide for Brazilian people now...

Its called... Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 for smartphones. If and when you get it installed, In the voice command setup. for the voice button use App3.
stuck at 3%
what am I doing wrong? I try to load this program and it gets to 3% then tells me the file is corrupt and then the phone reboots. re-downloaded the file several times with same result
How is everyone doing with wifi in this release? In the other thread some folks mentioned that wifi wasn't working well. I haven't had a chance to install this version yet but wifi is a deal breaker for me if it does not work. Thanks.

It is working for me at work today..I don't know why it glitched out on me yesterday at home, but it completely froze my phone up and had to pull the battery. So far so good...
Microsoft Voice Command works well only for English Speakers, as it does not require voice tags for contacts.
As nearly all my contacts have foreign names, it seems i need a different app.
Tried installing Cyberon speed voice dial 1.2, but there seems to be no way to add voice tags to contacts, so it always says there are no recorded tags.
Had no problems with the WiFi on this ROM... my home WPA network works fine.
nrg, any chance of getting the IE5 version uploaded? Thanks
I have set my pictures to open with HTC Album, which works ok, but it seems to be causing some other issues with MMS messages. I try to attach a picture and it does not want to insert it correctly into the MMS message. It just shows the preview icon and not the picture itself.

[APP] LiveCam - Watch the image from your pda's camera in a Web browser

Hello, this is my another release (though you may not remember previous ones).
My little app is called LiveCam and it allows you to watch what your phone's (rear) camera sees. Currently still images are taken every 5 seconds, and you can only see still images in browser but in future I'ma make it able to transfer real-time video! The app is totally uncustomizable for now because I only wanted to make it work. It contains whole lot of bugs. The app consists of 2 parts joined in 1 executable:
- a camera server that takes picture every 5 second
- a small HTTP server that allows you to see the most current image.
App could be possible only thanks to Alex Mogurenko's DirectShow .NET CF
How-to:
- Copy LiveCam.exe and DirectShow.NETCF.DLL to one folder wherever on your device.
- Ensure you have at least 400kB free space on your device root folder.
- Check your device name in Start > Settings > System > About. E.g. mine is HTC52, some may be Pocket_PC or alike. You may change it for more friendly for you or easier to remember if you want but do it now.
- Connect your phone to WiFi or ActiveSync/WMDC. Wait until the connection is established.
- Run LiveCam.exe. Click "Enable Cam" button (don't worry there's still a camera disabled text, if you see picture from your camera then everything's allright). Click "Enable HTTP" button (same here, don't worry of the HTTP disabled text).
- Run your PC's web browser and point to http://your_device_name:1222/
e.g. http://HTC52:1222/ Should be working.
- If you want to use it via data connection you must first activate it, however it won't work if you don't have external IP service.
- If you want to access it from an Internet computer (not in your subnet), please redirect 1222 port on your WiFi router, check your Pocket PC's IP.
Tested only on HTC KAISER. May not work on other devices. Please report.
Note this is a pre-pre-pre-alpha-release and it has maybe 10% of the functionality I want it to have.
Known bugs/limitations:
- Only 240x320 available res (will be fixed)
- Only still images, no video (5 seconds)
- No auto-refresh in web server must refresh manually to see current image (will be fixed easily)
- No customizable HTML page (will be fixed easily)
- No customizable HTTP port (will be fixed easily)
- No way of turning Flashlight (should be fixed)
- May hang up or eat memory as I didn't try it for longer time. Please always use the Give up button to exit app so that resources are believed to be released then.
If you like the app, I will make it really usable in next version but I must know that I don't work just for myself.
.NET CF 2.0 IS REQUIRED!
It works on my Blackstone(Touch HD)
It crashes when you click on init server multiple times and it doesn't show that it's running but you can access it through the browser.
I'd really like to have a webcam app that really works because other software I tried always had bugs or didn't work at all.
wonderful idea.. and it works great! (touch hd as well)
U dont work just for yourself, keep it going bro
Edit: Touch HD - working! Qtek 9100 - not working!
TyTN Stock
Frakken Awesome!
Works on my unbranded stock Kaiser. Keep up the good work!
its great for my htc touch hd .... owesome and it would be bloody owesome if it would be motion i mean video
Awesome!

Works on blackstone wm6.5 via web ^^
but config screen doesn't update to "enabled", even if server and cam are enabled. just says "disabled" but works. keep up your pretty idea. looking forward to new versions.
some feature-wishes:
- option to turn off the display during stream
- password lockable web interface, so you can only watch the camera if you have the password (htaccess)
- auto refresh in browser and choise between photo and video
- autosave video to sd
- option to switch between main and front camera
- portrait/landscape switch
- ... ^^ sry
where do I enter the address ? is it under LAN settings in IE ?
Thanks!
It works on my old Dopod 818 pro
hi, welcome back video should be possible, it is no bug that after clicking 'initialize' nothing changes, the app was written very fast and therefore not fully implemented. But if I happen to find some time, I may make it better. But no promises Thank you very much for feedback, I thought no one except me could find use for this.
This ideal is good if video streaming is included.

Is this a battery killer app?
Not at all! Tests performed didn't throw any additional(nor noticeable) battery drain. When device is in unlocked state, PocketShield enters sleep mode so no extra battery is consumed (as well as when device is in standby/Off). Instead, it will prevent battery drain when turned on unintentionally(or by a notification), thanks to the auto power off mechanism it incorporates.
RAM footprint?
The activated version with no theme uses a range of 1.6Mb -1.8Mb of RAM. Not actually all because of itself, all .Net Framework based applications use a bit of extra memory to load some system libraries for quicker access and performance. To have a reference, the standard HTC Calculator which is a very simple application uses 1.3Mb. HTC Diamond has 196Mb RAM and TouchPro has 288Mb, that is 0.85% and 0.6% of used memory, in both cases less than 1%.
Supported devices
* HTC Touch Diamond
* HTC Touch Diamond2
* HTC Touch Pro (Raphael/Fuze)
* HTC Touch Pro2
* HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
* Samsung Omnia
* All others QVGA in special mode.
tnx bro
hey is this activated version????
That one is the evaluation version, which works pretty much the same as the full but has a random displayed "nag" screen of 10 seconds wait saying that is evaluation. To get it with no restrictions you can activate or maybe make a theme.
Could you maybe show us to an activated version or some activation codes? I would really like and need that application and since I currently do not have a credit card I can't buy it (it's only 10$). Thanks
Just download it, it's kind of a shareware. You will be able to try all the features and if you like it you can activate it(Paypal allowed). If not, there are freeware alternatives (S2U2, TouchLockPro, Lockmelite, ThrottleLock, SensorLock, WM lock, etc.)
okay let me know how to get my system back to normal after uninstall.
Light Sensor doesent work anymore.
Soft reset?
I uninstalled the optional notifications and phone components, but wanted to give them a try. How to reinstall these options please?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it remembers all previous setttings, including the uninstalled stuff!
You can restore notifications and phone options in Settings / (A) / + / "Reset Default Settings"
Got it, thanks.
I'm quite impressed with this app so far I must admit. The only issue I've had so far is with the light sensor. When I receive an SMS, it woke the device and even though it was pretty dark, the phone unlocked. It didn't unlock when I woke the device manually, only when I received a text.
A little more testing and I might purchase.

There is a setting in the Unlocking tab / With light / + / click Close, try checking that option.
I have just DL the danish translation from the pocketshield website, it is a file called : DK.resx
But how do i intergrade it with my pocketshield 3.2.5
I have put the file in the pocketshield directory but i cant see the Language in settings.
Anyone ?
Updating... version 3.3
+ new skins supported
Really nice lock application.
Light sensor works great and the slide down work smooth aswell!
Only problem is the Settings program. It crashes a lot!
Will test it in the upcoming days!

Same here. I went online to purchase today after trying; then remembered all the crashes and rethought it. The Notification and Display tabs under settings crash every time (Notification on first click, Display is kind of random, often times when I make a change and then attempt to save).
If it weren't for these crashes, I would be a happy owner right now and recommending it to others.
I have a Tilt 2, btw.
If you were upgrading from an older version then "Reset default settings" might be necessary...
Not sure what happened to this post. Anyway:
Should be ok after a softreset. Or try manually HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable=1
After uninstalling, soft reset and then, go to settings- menu- all settings- lock -display- windows default.

Completely FREE version!
Paid version
Difference between Paid and Free version is mainly in the poweruser options.
Paid version mainly adds lotsa poweruser options ;D
1) Remembers up to 9999 undo/redo operations
2) Control over the End-Of-Line characters (Apple, Unix and Windows tend to handle different End-Of-Line differently when doing plain text editing)
3) Allows user to specify buffer size
4) Allows custom fonts and background images
5) Allows user to customize 6 extra Themes in addition to the built-in 3 Themes.
6) Allows toggling of word wrap
7) Continuous Text to Speech.
8) Automatic backup of multiple files to user specified locations on SD card
Free version:
1) Remembers just 1 undo/redo operation, plus 1 reset buffer
2) Defaults to Android EOL handling
4) Fixed 10000 buffer size
5) Custom fonts and backgrounds disabled. You can still paint over the existing 3 themes with a solid color though, just adjust your Opacity bar in your themes dialog.
6) Customization of 3 built in Themes.
7) Always wordwrap
8) Text to Speech reads single paragraphs only.
9) Automatic backup of 1 file to user specified location on SD card
Version 1.71 features:
1) A File List, which works like a Bookshelf/Task_list/Recent_files hybrid management system. So basically, you can use it as a Task list, text bookreader, and text file editor as well.
2) Edit mode with unlimited file size, and tracking system to resume your reading/editing progress.
3) HTML mode! Supports non html files as well.
4) Text to Speech! I'm gonna use it to listening to ebooks when my eyes are tired
5) GoTo, Search, Replace, Cut, Copy, and Paste
6) Multiple Undo and Redo with undo history up to 9999(for the full version). Also comes with a sliding bar to easily rewind and fast forward the changes you made.
7) Themes! Customizable display; you can specify your own background images, custom fonts, background and font colors, line spacing, indents etc.
8) Landscape mode
9) EditText view with inertia scrolling, and yet no irritating problems of the view rectangle not being called to show your cursor, nor the rectangle jumping all over the place when you try to place your cursor far away.
10) Toggleable word wrap and autocapitalization (if supported by keyboard app)
11) Specify what End-Of-Line chars for saving your files with.
12) Tons of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Cyrillic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
13) Share your files or just specific lines of selected text via email, bluetooth etc.
14) Automatic backup of files to user specified locations on SD card
15) HTML mode to easily switch between plain text and HTML view
If you like what you see, download now!
v1.76 is out!
I took quite some time with this one, mainly to implement some things I always wanted to do but felt was too convoluted to debug properly afterwards. But anyway its done and I believe I avoided introducing any new bugs too.
Have a look, if you like it, give me a rating, like my facebook page at www.facebook/WoolFloats, or if you really like it, send me a donation! ^_^
- Tweaks to interface
- Language options!!! Just English and 简体中文 for now. If you would like to volunteer your translation service for your preferred language, email me or post on NTW's facebook wall!
- Improved Help, and now with donate button and facebook link, pls like
- Simpler and faster customize dialog
- Simplified backup system for better compatibility with newer devices
- Encoding selection displays chinese, korean and japanese in their native characters!
v1.77!
- Improved Find text! Fully functional wildcards using '*' Eg: "t*i*s" will find "this", "thesis", or "to infinity and beyond, for peanuts"!
- Reassignment of Prev, __.__%, Next icons in toolbar to be side by side.
- the Find and Replace (F/R) button now works more intuitively.
- The keyboard that pops up for Find text and Replace textboxes will now show a more useable layout.
- Other small tweaks to interface
v1.80
- Tweaks for faster file reads/write performance!
- For NTW Pro, this version fixes a major bug that can corrupt content in large files when repeatedly editing and saving the same chunk without closing the file in between.
But this occurs only when your end-of-line mode is set to CR+LF . If you have always just left it as default, LF or CR, then you should be fine.
v1.79
- Due to user expectations, I've stopped NTW from autoclosing itself whenever another program pushes it into the background.
- Fixed a minor bug which prevented the final line of a file from being displayed if it did not end with '\r\n', '\n', '\r', '>', '.', ' ', or ','.
v1.78
- Tweaks to icons and user interface
- Fixed Text to Speech not retaining the selected language upon reopening
- Fixed bug that sometimes deleted the top line of a file.
BLACK FRIDAY is here! :victory:
Prices cut to the minimum that Google will allow for each respective currency
Switch over to NTW Pro now and enjoy its whole arsenal! For example, Undo/Redo history up to 9999, custom fonts, continuous Text to Speech, power tools like word wrapping, EOL control and so on! :highfive:
Some reviews by NTW Pro users:
Andrew: The ONLY fullscreen, distraction free editor on the market! Absolutely fantastic! Great distraction-free editor implementation, and the only one on the market that's got a working fullscreen edit! (I've tried -all- of them). If you want to do real writing on your phone with a bluetooth keyboard, -this- is the way to do it. I can finally write -anywhere-! Super customizable, and the theme out of the box is high contrast and very easy to work with. I don't have a tablet to test it on, but I expect it's just as good on one. Great, responsive dev!
Dennis: Best Droid editor! I've tried the popular ones. I use NTW to update my website. It's totally reliable. I bought the pro version.
Dominik: Naprawdę obsługuje duże pliki Polecam. To chyba jedyny program, który pozwala na edycję pliku powyżej pół megabajta.
Ernest: Only editor that handles large files. Haven't used many of its features, but I like the ones that I HAVE used.
Br: Very nice. Love the customization options, works well with Swiftkey Tablet (unlike some other well known text editors), does what it's supposed to do. Surprised it's not used more.
Alistair: Brilliant text editor. Works brilliantly. Not sure about the original theme settings but these are easily reconfigured. Can't think of any other features I would need. I edit HTML documents sometimes and it has a html mode which is great. Good work.

Important! 2013-02-20
I just encountered this sudden bug on my SGS3. Cut and Copy buttons will crash my phone everytime in any version of NTW Lite or Pro.
So after some digging, I found that there is a bug in how certain phone models especially Samsung's implements the clipboard.
The temporary solution is either a factory reset, or to do this:
1. boot into recovery > advanced > wipe cache
2. reboot phone > ES Explorer (enable root mode)> delete /data/clipbord/*
3. reboot recovery again > advanced > fix permissions
4. reboot phone > it's fine again, but until Samsung fixes their firmware, the same problem will eventually recur for apps that implement their own cut/copy/paste buttons.
