ok, ive been working on blackberrys for years and im not an expert but im not a rookie either.
point above being that i look on this site and i see great ideas and programs but i dont find any great tutorials on how to get some of them to work.
im trying to use the chome editor one and it does nothing on my phone. or am i using the wrong program to add to 6.5 scrolling homescreen? (i guess its called windows default).
i also installed the titanium weather....it gives me a big red X and says updating, but it at least added itself to the scrolling homepage list.
i dont want IE on there, i want to use opera. but i cant add it to the homepage?
theres more i want to do but i am still trying to read this site over and over again to figure out what can be done to these new windows devices.
my device is HTC imagio running stock 6.5
also, anyone have a way to remove all the BS verizon garbage?

hey before anyone starts flaming me for no search i wanted to apologise beforehand. I did search, this is all foreign to me. I have an mda, interested in the windows mobile 6 platform but theres a few questions i had.
1 being is the processor fast enough to handle the os or is it gonna be even laggier than it is now?
and 2 is there any step by step how to guide from begining to end (with photos preferably), just taking your plain ole out of the box mda and putting windows mobile 6 on it. all this kitchen and cooking and frying, tornados and crossbow code talk doesnt make sense to me. thanks so much for reading, I dont mean to be a newbie about all this stuff, I just want someone who knows what theyre doing to tell me what its all about.
Welcome to the wonderful world of MDA flashing! Ok so you want to take your MDA and load WM6 on it. That is what we reffer to as "flashing, " so anytime you hear someone talk about flashing their device to "Core," "Pandora" or "Crossbow" they mean they are changing the operating system to that paticular "version" of WM6. They are all based off (more or less) the same WM6 ROM but just tweaked with some useful apps, and registry changes. Read about them in the XDA-Wiki page. As far as learning how to flash, there's a "sticky" (a post that remains on the first page) entitled "Howto flash a Wizard... a little tutorial!" Just follow that word for word and you should be fine. It's easy if you just follow the instructions and don't try to jump ahead. Good luck!
follow these directions.. and you should have no problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613. WM6 seems to be a big upgrade.. so i suggest it.. then take a look and see which new ROM you want.. there are many.. if you want just basics you want a Vanilla ROM, i reccomend ANTC's WM6 Professional 3.0.. or if you want fully loaded try Pandora (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310530) or Faria (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762). give it a whirl.. and if you need help, don't hesitate to IM or PM me.

awesome thanks so much for your help guys. I have a g4 mda, and from what I know i dont have to CID unlock it. im just trying to figure all this out. I dont think its as easy as downloading the rom utility update and downloading the rom... theres a million different tutorials and I dont know which one is the most current or the best. keep the replys coming though i appreciate it.

The group does a pretty good job of updating the info as new stuff gets released. Like I said earlier, most of your basic questions will be answered in the XDA-WIKI
see my signature, that's how it should work, no need for CID unlocking
the only "issue" with an G4 is that you only can flash the OS itself.

cooool, so i got it flashed after trying a million times, but i finally found a version that works, I keep getting errors here and there. last time i flashed it was giving me a checkautorun.exe error. I just flashed farias rom, and when I was doing it with shelltool my mda displayed a few errors which i just pushed ok. also after flashing, i get a dos app thats cmd.exe that i just close and right after i close that, shelltool says its done. it wont say its done UNLESS i close cmd.exe. also having big problems with the contacts. every time i push the contacts button, it never opens. any suggestions?
just got an error that said unexpected error occured in shell attempting to restart.
Are you unlocking your phone first? It might be easier for you to do if you find an unlocking utility for a g4.. or pay the 40 bucks to IMEI-check.com
nope no unlocking. no more silly errors, the only thing i cant do is open my contacts, (or sync them) it just says a device by that name already exists on this maching and i have to rename or be guest. im gonna reflash and see if it helps any. now does anyone know if when using shelltool i need to go back to the original tmo rom and do all that hooplah or can i just flash it like it is now?
I dont understand why you can't open your contacts... do this.. check 'settings' in start menu under 'system' and see if there is a application called 'softkeys' if there is then click on it and see if there is a \contacts.lnk path under the 'Contact'
i dont see contact.
nope, looked in windows folder where all the other .ink files are, and contacts.ink is not there.
it's actually not directly in the windows folder it's in 'windows\appbuttons'
Sorry, I was assuming you looked directly in the 'windows' folder..
ok found it. doing a soft reset now to see if it works...
keep me posted.
well its still doing the same thing... i push the contacts, the start button displays contacts for a second, theres an x in the corner then it just goes back to the normal screen.
hmn.. thats weird.. what happens when you go to 'contacts' from your start menu?
same. well see. I really like the wm6 os. Ive never flashed anything or messed with any phone, so this is all very new to me. I wish there was someone else that flashed a g4 without unlocking it first... grrr. heres something funny, sometimes when I restart it shows the GSM version other times its blank... I dont really care if I brick this phone, last week it was acting up and tmo is sending me a replacement. this was back before i was starting to mess with it, so i got a replacement on the way. lets hope its a g3
Mine does the same thing, sometimes it shows GSM sometimes it doesnt.. Thats pretty common. Yeah I paid to unlock mine, so I have no idea when it comes to a locked device.,
I want to get winterface but i dont know what i need to install it. and i have spb but i cant find a good organized thread with good themes on them. Also i know about wisbar but i cant find a themes list that is good.
Winterface needs nothing else to install, it just does, if you look in the Dev sub forum for "winterface imate Go" you should find one with icons etc. which you can install.
As for SPB Mobile Shell, all i can say is to work through the thread, yes i do know it's a long one, and have a look at the various skins out there for it. Think i went through most of them over time to find one i like.
ive been searching and cant really find anywhere to download them just wondering if anyone has any good sites to refer to im mainly looking for a way to access my desktop from my g1 dont know if thats possible or not. and i have searched xda and either the posts are old or people just sayin they want the same thing so wondering if anyone found a way to RDP
Nope not yet
I actually tried vnc and drm+ couldt get either to actually work I don't kno if I was doing something or what but drm+ has g1 listed as supported deviecs on their website but it never loaded my desktop ....idk maybe some else could try and lemme kno it it was user fail or software fail....prolly user fail..lol
Fav Apps
Hi All,
Just got a phone from korea Which is very cool!
I was wondering if there any cool or new app that can run on my phone.
My phone is a LG KS20........touch screen.
Any advice really appricated!
Thanks,
i heard there is a free app called google search. It is fun, painless, and most of all free!!!!
I found some free apps for your phone see HERE
Now you can search and find some too
You've got yourself a Windows Mobile phone - congratulations.
There's a plethora of free apps for WM out there, and Google will indeed point them out for you. You need to read around (a lot) and try them out (a lot). Always remember to note the forum rules.
Most of the apps from this site should work on your KS20 - should, because a) this is an XDA site after all and some apps & mods will be XDA-specific, and b) the KS20 doesn't support all WM apps as well as it should. Look out for dedicated LG or KS20 forums - I know there are a few.
Btw, I gave my KS20 back six months ago because of a battery bug, because audio output in satnav apps doesn't work and because support for a few important other WM apps is poor. These bugs have turned up all around the planet - it's all there in the forums, but I didn't know that before I bought mine. It's a nice sleek device with a good touch screen, but it just didn't work for me. If they haven't managed to put that right yet, and if you can still give it back to the vendor, you might consider getting - well, an XDA.

This belongs in the Questions and Answers thread. Almost everything should work on your phone if its running WM6. Might wanna check the resolution on the programs before you download them and any other prerequisites
Lgks20
Lol oppsss......i sorry
i am new to this site
Yeah.....OMG this site is the man
lol
i have an iphone theme on my phone already and i am trying to find more app to put on my phone
i want GAlarm on my phone, but i trying to find one,but i can't (help)
And a website would be helpful guys Thx
i just new to this website and having trouble finding what i need
I have the same phone... its windows mobile, that means there are thousands of apps
But you should check out fingermenu that's great...
i can give you a few tips though... dont expect to run too many graphics heavy apps like PointUI Home 2 or winterface it just cant handle them, LG forgot the drivers
it can handle SPB shell and PointUI Home 2 though so some works...
also keep you proof of purchase near might just be me unlucky but ive had mine on service two times in less than six months, on time i got a battery bug the status wouldnt update always 100% and the battery time was very short too... and now the screen got yellow spots on it so service again
just look trough these forums every now and then and you will find plenty of great apps

You will need WM6.5 on your phone for this to work.

if you want to find things that work on 6.5 and put them here for new members (noobs) so they don't have to look, then that's fine. but don't claim that you made them. all you can claim is that your using them on your phone and using some of their components for your upcoming windows phone 7 theme. give more information so that people know what version of windows mobile they need, what they're installing (the more info you write, the less questions people have and less upset people will get). keep in mind that a lot of people are still using windows mobile 6.1, the titanium cabs won't work on wm6.1, so if people install them they'll have to hard reset after words to get their phones back to the way it was, i know this from first hand experience and give some credit to the people that did make the .cabs your putting here.
dfd
ok i would next time
sh
some these works for standard phones and professional phones to the plugins
wierd but cool
the weird things is that mostly all those plug ins are for windowsmobile professional devices but my phone can run all types of touch screen apps or themes to it. Thats weird.that could be another reason the files are not working properly for other phones including not have the 6.5rom on it.The thing i manage to get on my device that i think was a windowstouch theme was that titanium wm7 theme that i found for touchscreen devices .for right now im really trying to get raxbot creation or lessco creation of the windowsmobile7 series app to work on my phone .the good thing it lets me in the app but the functions of the arrows dont work properly.But i had found this app that gives your phone a mouse cursor pointer just like your computer haves to navigate around the screen and this was another touchscreen app that manage to work on my phone i only have 1 problem with it that im try to figure out im using it for Jaxbot wm7 app and maybe going to use it on lessco to.that is all for now
oh and ya im going to fix it the other theme so it will work properly and just work for other devices and ya xboxlive would be coming and some other neat features would be coming that windowsmobile7series going to have to. I would be having people work on this with me to make it happen and to see would it be possible to work on standard devices if you want to get on this project just replied to this or just message me and the people that will help would get credit for making this. and name will be on my youtube account for hundreds of people to see who creates apps and themes for windowsmobile and people who just like it
Thanks, worked great on my Moto Q9h
cool
it works on your phone now
fv
