[Q] LG OSP - Sprint LG Optimus G

Does anyone know if there's any way to get LG's On-Screen Phone working on our phones? It comes stock with the AT&T version (thread about that here), but not ours for some reason. I spent a few hours playing around with things and was able to get the apk for it installed and all the options to appear under Settings > PC Connection, but the program on the PC side just doesn't detect anything. Of course I'll be the first to admit that I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing lol.
It seems like it should be possible though, and if any of the wiser minds around here could figure it out that would be awesome. I remember using a near-identical program way back on my HTC 8125, and it really could come in handy sometimes...

This would be cool if we could get it working.

That would be sweet if we could get this working on our phones. I remember having to search high and low on my old samsung moment for something like this and it was a really useful application when I finally found it.

I imagine it is just an apk installed on the phone side. I wonder if I can ask someone on the at&t side if they can pull the apk. Maybe we can just push it to the phone and it will work. Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in?

There is an apk floating around somewhere. Installing it will add a new section under Settings>PC Connection called LG Apps, under which is On-Screen Phone, but the only thing you can do with it is set-up & change a password. I decompiled the apk, played around a bit with things, and was able to get one or two other options to show up, but unfortunately none of it actually does anything towards making it work lol.
Here's the apk if anyone wants to poke around in it....For the PC software just go to the LG Support site for the AT&T model (E970).

Palm messaging works on Dash

Hello all,
Wanted to share that I was able to install the cab file taken from the palm messing that was found in the MDA section of xda-developers.com forum, can't find the thread now sorry!!!!!! But I was able to install and get the program to send text messages out, but it will not thread because in the registry couldn't I couldn't change the sms key to sms.old
In the Dash registry it was a lil different than the MDA, if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated. I know it's simple just not sure, still neebe but willing to learn and try!!!!!!!!
Yes..someone please get this to work. As i'm sure we are all coming from MDA or similar devices. I was one of the lucky ones to get the threaded sms app from Palm working on my device. It's definitely nice. Don't get me wrong the 2 sms threader apps that are available now: sms threader & TXTMAN are nice..but they have some big tradeoffs that didn't occur on the Palm version.
umm..wow..it really does work. I did the normal instructions from the "How-To"... no notification sounds for it though. Im sure a little registry hacking could fix that. Everything threads hmm..testing mms..well i actually i cannot test..just realized I can't even navigate anymore lol. Pressing the back key closes the program. ARGHH! you can get around the smiley's and Mytext just buy bringing up the option but other than that it looks like a dead end. Any suggestions?

I was using the cab file for the ppc and I haven't been able to get it work like it was working on the MDA. Tried all kinds things in the registry, but nothing seemed to work.
Then I finally got the thread to work but all together lost MMS, As for your situation did you make the registry tweaks to sms and mms1 and change them to .old? Not to familiar with 1.5 and assuming it may have to have the same setup. If I find anything I will let you know.
For now I have taken it off and it required for me to reset the phone and start all over. So once again I will be working on the aforementioned issues.
I didnt do the registry entries, I wasnt able to find them on BB's site.
The version I have is branded as "SmartPhone" vs the PPC version which I also have.
I think it is for the older processor type maybe?
G
ok, found the info on BB's site and made the registry changes as well as the app unlock.
VC still refuses to run on my Dash, all I get is "VoiceCommand has encountered a problem, restart voice command"
Noticed that voice comand also completely breaks the built in voice dialing
G
Could someone send me the install file please? thanks

Feel free to pm me and I will be more than happy to send you the file
It seems this user has disappeared. Please, if anyone still has the SmartPhone branded version of the software please PM me or reply and I'll contact you.
Thanks in advance,

I also need the smartphone version. If one of you good hearted souls can assist with this. thanks in advance.

Need help with my Wing / Herald I am a NEWB

Alright I am at a total loss right now. I am just got my hands on the T-Mobile Wing /Herald p4350, and it seems like one mighty piece of equipment. I want to do some unlocking/modding/hacking on the thing, but alas, I have no idea where to start.
I have seen some of the guides online, and they refer to programs I can't track down.
I see this HTC Home program, but have no idea how to run it.
HTC Home
Overclocking, sure, I do it with my computer and my PSP, but THIS baffles me. I would like a new home screen.
I want to know why the hell my phone only has 3MB of available memory.
I don't know how to mess with the registry.
Where are my temp internet files, and how do I clear them?
And it seems like none of these things have newb's guides. I dont even know where to being, and when I think I have found it, I need to find and do something else first to get it to work.
Any help that could be provided would be great. And just because I am completely lost at this, does not mean I haven't done this KIND of thing in the past.
Thanks to everyone!

I downloaded the Android Cab file on TIlt 2, n luvn it

I wish all the customs roms that chefs cook up were this easy to do. I was reading on the forum last night about this and came across the cab file version of this install. Its soo easy its pathetic. by the way i have Att Tilt 2 stock rom windows.v.72001a(or somethin) windows mobile 6.5 manilla v.2.1. doing this install made me realize two things. How fast att actually can be at times. this was basically a 90mb. file. I downloaded it with opera mobile 10 on regular service in like 5 mins. Thats pretty fast to me for a phone. i can just imagine if i used opera mini but mini doesnt let store files downloaded to your storage card. which is still cool because cut and paste puts it wherever u want. Second thing i noticed is how much more Informative this forum is. That google android cab is a brilliant piece of work. i dont know how they exactly did it but it works pretty damn good to be not the final version yet. i was skeptical doing this type of modding, since it is complex and looks like your rom being reflashed or something..lol i was like ohhh lord, what i do now..lol but to much surprise, just like the instructions say, it loaded flawlessy, basically. Knowing me, i tried testing all the capabilities of it seeing how far itll let me go. I like the android set up and interface. There are still some things i noticed wasnt working yet. like the wifi. or the keyboard light doesnt come on. it still works though. i havent tried the bluetooth yet. i didnt like that my programs didnt carry over but no biggie since i guess its another format or something the phone is running. Its really cool how the install kicks windows or liniux off and boots up this android rom or whatever. they say its not an emulator or a full blown rom. seems like one to me by how good it works. Also the g sensor needs better way to calibrate. it doesnt rotate really like it should or not fast enough. When u on this though, u are limited to whats on this install. Meaning only using the programs that come on it. Knowing me, i tried going to the app store to see if itll let me download some prgrams. i got all the way to the end pressing download and an error came up on the screen. Maybe its not set up yet in this version to let u add android programs and stuff. which wouldve been insane. But hey, this is free. I definitely have to say how talented the people are that put this together. This is just like running any program really. and when i want go back to windows mobile or touch flo, just soft reset and bam, u back no problems. the first time installing is the longest, not too long though. any time after that, it boots up faster since all folders and whateva were already made. So after soft rest, i can just load it up anytime with the Haret icon just like i would load up Opera Mini. Thats just too cool. Ima fool my friends telling them i got new AnDroid Phone from HTC to mess wit their heads. Im definitely gonna read up alot more on these threads and see if any way to load or download android programs. i wanted the free opera mini 5 one so badly but error came up. force out or something. all in all, Im really liking the setup and the widgets. plus u can change backgrounds with preloaded ones, which seem high quality. just as clear as on tf3d with hdwalls. Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to rant and let any skeptical people with Tilt 2 like mines know this is One Install You definitely want to check out. I still have to test somemore on how far the capabilities go when in android mode. Ill keep ya posted.

i gotcha..lol
thanks for the post demandarin
i too am running the htc tilt2 and am rather new to all of this. so it was great to share your experience and concern. so with this android rom you saw that some things are not working. will you let me know when they get all the kinks worked out? please. i am interested. i have my phone dialed in the way i want it now with all that i have learned here, so i dont want to put anything on that doesnt have all the funtionality. so please if you remember hit me back when it is 110percent. thanks!
Doing this install/mod still enables you to use windows. you can now choose which Operating system. if u tired of windows and want to mess around with Android os, then this enables you to. this is still in developement so of course not every single function wrking. its good enough for now. i can make calls, recieve them, go online, go to android app store and download new android programs. I see what you are saying on not wanting to mess up your phone. the install cant get no easier than for this one. basically a new os/ROM without having to flash device. All i do is press Haret exe., like any other program, and it boots XDAndroid up everytime. im still amazed on having it. soon after enough reading and research, i might flash a rom or 2..lol All info needed is right here in the forum. ill keep ya posted, but this is a working version that u can text and make calls, etc...im glad i downloaded it.

Cant transfer files

So... I can see all files when my GNex is in Android... But when I try to drag and drop... I get a little symbol with an X... So it wont let me copy the files over. Any solutions to this?
I was also wondering..
Mobilicity Phone, Rooted...
Thinking about putting this Rom on... (mind transfering files would make it easier)
http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3212-rom-bamf-paradigm-v21-411-jro03h-galaxy-nexus/
Any problems you think, I heard it MAY only be for Verizon, but I thought, If i DL the Maguro version, I would be Okay...?
I tried DL and installing a JB rom (looked official) google 10 Rom from Rom manager, and got stuck in a bootloop earlier, so I wanted some opinions on this....before I have to try to redo my backup file again

Minimize your windows...and see if any "This device may not be able to play this file...transfer anyway?" (or similar) pop-ups are showing.
That's gotten me once before.

Personally I find transferring files via MTP/PTP is rather buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it hangs my file manager. I use adb for transfer. Not as convenient as drag & drop, but always works.

I've been getting this pop up. Does this mean there are definitely going to be issues with my files? Or a probability?
The reason I asked is because I recently messed something up by having two download folders (download / Download) and made things very wonky. I've reformatted my virtual SD, and am copying things back over with Win 7 x64. It's kind of driving me nuts discovering things suddenly can't be deleted/moved/etc. Even after I resolved the download issue, I then found the Nook folder that the Gnex toolkit backed up was suffering from this problem.
So right now, I'm just moving my essential things back (pictures, Tibu backups, various apks to install later) and I'm going to check again.

1) It generally seems to work. It's a pretty well ranked thread, is there a flaw that I'm not aware of? Or are you just opposed to them? I love learning the nitty gritty on how things work but I also believe in streamlining and making things more efficient. That's what machines are for. I look at this way: I know cars. I've studied them and worked on them for many years. Had jobs doing it. So with basic things like oil changes, I've done them for so long and so many times that it's no longer fun or a learning experience. It's just tedious. At this point, I'd rather pay people I trust to just do it for me than spend the time doing it, collecting the used oil, dropping the used oil off at a participating collection facility, changing clothes, showering, etc. And I get a free car wash if I pay my old work to do it.
2) The creation of two separately cased download folders sure as hell kicked off a chain of frustrating events and the most succinct advice I received to remedy the issue was "flash back to stock image". I never had the two directories before and based on my research, Android by default looks at directories in a case-insensitive way. And so does my Win PC so...
If you can provide any more insight or help, it would appreciated.
BTW, I have toro.

1- if something goes wrong, no one knows what happened, what command failed, etc; using commands like google instructs you allows for better troubleshooting when issues arise;
2- android is not case-insensitive, like linux; windows is. that's your problem right there, windows.
sent from my i9250
And what about that pop up I get on windows about how my device may not play the file? This is when dragging and dropping via explorer. Is that just a warning prompt, or is something actually going to happen? The files seem to be playing fine, everything seems back to normal (as I can now move/delete/modify files and directories).
Well I am having some audio issues but that seems strictly related to an audio mod I just installed...

don't let it update and dont use Wifi. Start it up and when you get the wifi selection option, give it the ethernet connection till you see the word checking for updates, as soon as you see it, remove the ethernet and you should see a login screen. Go ahead login and root/block updates and downgrade and then go back up. the link given above should help.
I just picked mine up from BB and got a big fat "NO" on the root serial number check on aftvnews. Does that mean there's no shot for me- or can I still hook it up without internet and see what's up?
edit: fired it up and saw the german language option which I guess means no root for me

I thought about that- but I'm also wondering just how important is the extra storage space to me. Perhaps more than I think.. Also- the other problem is that they're actually pretty hard to find in stock around here. I had to order online and do store pick up just to make sure it would be there when I got there. Assuming I do visit some other stores and try to grab one- is there something I can see in the serial number which will tell me it's a series 3? I looked at the decoder on aftvnews I don't see anything about series, but there is a number that shows the revision.. Same thing as series? Thanks

The Serial number sould be 70900305 or 303. Get the point. ? Its still easily available here in the Los Angeles Area. It will require some effort but I'm sure you will get it. As for the benefits for root each one has their own advantages. For me these are to name a few.
1. Extra Space once I run out. I really don't think I'll need it.
2. USB Drive. This too I don't need as I use the network.
3. QuickSupport (TeamViewer) This is the most important as I can help fix my parents and family's firetv remotely as only with root you can get remote view.
4. md.emu and other emulators which are paid in google play. (Enjoy playing the nintendo and sega master system) to revive old days.
5. Custom Rom (around the corner) not needed now.
6. Kodi Icon on home screen. Nice to have but not needed.
7. Suspend and Restart in Kodi (Very useful features)
I'm sure here are others features that I've missed or don't know off but if given a choice, I'd rather spend the extra effort but get a rooted one. I have one extra rooted one in 'my doomsday bunker as I always have a feeling I may mess mine up or brick it up one day.
Thanks for the advice- so are you saying the 6th digit should be a 3 as in "series 3" or as aftvnews describe it "hardware revision"? I'm a little confused since their advice seems to indicate that factory software is based on the manufactured date which are the 9-12 digits..
Either way- I'm going to go around to a few more stores that may have them in stock and punch them into the decoder and see if I get lucky.. If not, I'm not terribly disappointed. With the unrooted unit I picked up earlier today I've managed to install Kodi, and "add the app" to home screen with the ikono TV / llama trick. Again, I'd love to have root and extra storage so I'll see what I can do- but this seems like it's gonna be a really solid device.. I tested some uncompressed high-bit rate stuff and it played flawlessly.. If only it could pass through HD audio- then it would just be darn near 100% perfect..

yes. Don't follow the decoder. The decoder says the Series 2 is good as well but I couldn't get those to bypass the initial check. By Series 3 yes I mean the 6th digit 305 or 303 or 304 sets are good in my personal experience. I've done quiet a few. I also tried looking for you yesterday in my local best buy (91303) but they didn't have it in stock. Had you asked a few days earlier. I would have saved one for you instead of returning it. Next time I see a correct series, I'll pick up a few for the community incase someone needs them. . Good luck and let me know if you need any help.
Hey man- thanks for convincing me to stick with the idea of going after an old one! I drove to a BB a little further away and it was worth it. They had two, and one was a 3 series! I punched it up on the decoder also and it says it should be rootable- woohoo! I won't have a chance to know for sure until this evening when I can plug it in and play with it- but it looks like I'm good. Just need to make sure I follow the steps right and not let the darn thing update.

If you live close to 91303, I can help you out. If you aren't good at it, I can put up the firmwares till the bootmenu for you. If you want the files. PM me. I have all of them on my hdd. They all are available anyways but took me a while to collect them all. Finally if you want to send it in to me with shipping both ways, I'll do it for you. Either way congrats. but by knowing the times of your reply, you may be on the east coast
Remember its the ethernet trick of removal when checking for updates for series 3 and that is the only way now. Ensure you block on router first as well before you start. If you have mcaffee anti virus, ensure you disable it on your pc as tw_3.apk is detected as a virus. Keep all ducks in order. Its not hard if you know what your doing. You will have to downgrade and root again and block updates again before you go back up to prior to the bootmenu. After unlock, you can go to rbox' boot menu with recovery with the latest rooted firmware. Finally I suggest install google play with market helper 1.1 to make apps compatible. In the end use SDCard Pro which costs about 2.50 on google play to clean out the orphans and recover some captured disk land space.
Good Luck and its nice that you took that effort. Its totally worth it. When I first started doing this, I didn't know of the auto update to non root version and didn't block anything and lost my root. I since then sold my non rooted on ebay and repurchased it. I now have an extra in my bunker.

Good Luck and its nice that you took that effort. Its totally worth it. When I first started doing this, I didn't know of the auto update to non root version and didn't block anything and lost my root. I since then sold my non rooted on ebay and repurchased it. I now have an extra in my bunker.

Thanks dude. Before going over to the dark side with my iphone I had about 5 different android phones and rooted/rom'd every single one of em.. So although this seems maybe a little bit more involved I think I'll be alright- but your tips are much appreciated and I may hit you up on PM if I run into any troubles. What are your thoughts on the all-in-one tools/scripts here on the forums that will root, install CWM, etc?

I really use a combination. I have a directory for downgrade and just follow through the instructions. I've saved up the files in the respective directories in my PC as \downgrade and then as \latest before the bootmenu and then \final with boot menu. (I know the naming is a little whacked but it works for me)
In the instructions they don't say to put the rom.zip in the folder so I manually put it. If you need all the files, I can package it up for you. We will have to figure out how to send it over to you. through teamviewer / dropbox or some other way.
as for automation scripts, I don't use any. I just have batch files to install all the apks. I also install google play and the llama automation scripts and then import it in Llama.
In the end I use adbfire only to restore the kodi backup which has all the nuances from helix and elmero's fixes. and then replace the icons of ikono.tv.
I haven't had the need to extend my drive but have a hub waiting for future if I need it.

Phew... Did it- man that was a heck of a process.. Had to do all the downgrade/upgrade/boot menu, etc etc etc but it's finally done and I'm all up to date! I could probably do it again in half the time now that I've done it once, but that first time was a real doozy.. I pretty much just stuck to the atvf guides. Thanks again for the tips / advice.
