I am thinking of getting this phone. But before doing so, I would like to know if there are any developers who would be building ROMS for this phone etc. Since the GM750 will be running on WM6.5, I'm sure there would be developers who would be cooking roms for the GM730 also. And is this phone the same as other windows mobile phones? Meaning able to install ROMS and CAB files etc?
The price is very reasonable compare to other WM phones. And that would make it fun to just buy the phone and play around with cooking ROMS into it.
It is upgradeable to 6.5 from company itself. U can upgrade it from Service Centers.

Where did you get this info? I saw an upgrade to 6.5 only for Chinese users.
LG GM730f WM 6.5 update ROM from LG?
I got an email from LG Australia that this is ready for download/update - but have not got it working so far
Search google for "Trying to install lgs wm6.5 update to gm730f" for my post
I'm also having trouble.
Just spoke to LG support who are aware of the problem!
They will apparently post me a disc with the ROM, so i'll let you guys know if that happens!
LG GM730f - Factory Default raw files Dumped
Hi All,
Just in case anyone would like a working copy of the default factory RAW files I have managed to successfully download these using the ItsUtilBin tools.
Would I be correct in thinking that I might then be able to use one of the Kitchen utilities to create this in to a ROM update?
Hopefully I'll get time to contact LG tomorrow - I wonder if they will be kind enough to use FTP? ;-)
Cheers,
Dave

Hi HughJarse (nice handle BTW )
Any ideas who you spoke to? LG are now denying this - I could give you an FTP to post to if you do get a copy?
Cheers,
Dave
****RETRACTION****
Apparently someone in LG Aust does know about the 6.5 update and the latest knews is that someone from LG Technical is supposed to be ringing me this afternoon with details?
I didn't catch the name of the person i spoke to, but I'll certainly be happy to help you if I get a copy of the ROM!

Hi Dave
Did LG get back to you yet, because I'm still waiting!?
No joy as of 30th Jan ;-(
Hi Hugh
So although they did know about the 6.5 upgrade it *appears* that it wasn't *approved* by Telstra - or at least that's what I was told.
They also seemed to understand that their upgrade process wasn't all it could be? Head over to the other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5480790 and keep an eye on things?
It's well worth downloading the Service Manual for the GM730f LOL

Hi Dave
Thanks for the heads up and the link
I'd be quite happy to use a custom ROM because I'm getting increasingly frustrated and P**sed off with LG and telstra!

In the meantime I'm trialing some of the SPB Software and it makes it look a whole lot more usable - but I can't wait to get something decent on the phone - OR it's up on ebay and I'll be looking for a Samsung replacement...!!
Stupid question, but what's SPB?!
I spoke to someone from LG yesterday and she was trying to tell me the update comes from microsoft. Sigh.
Theres not much hope when the company that makes the phones has reps answering calls who talk out of their A**e!
I'm beginning to wish i'd done a bit more research before i got this phone

thanks, I'll check it out
Just installed SPB (found it at the site of the little green demon)
looks good, but how do you get it to start every time you turn the phone on?!
forget that, just worked it out!
Hi. I hope this is the right place to post this new thread. I got an Optimus S, fresh from the Sprint store, long story short, I soon had it flashed to cricket, but hate it. I was hoping to be able to flash it to Virgin Mobile for the $25 a month plan, but have no idea how, and Ive looked on Google and YouTube, but nothing. If anyone has a link to send me to learn how to do this, please let me know! I really dont wanna buy a new phone, when its kinda like going from "S" to "V"
Any help will be appreciated...
Thanks
Hello Everyone!
My name is Rui, I'm from Portugal.
I've serached the forum to see some things for my phone: LG Cookie KP 501, but I haven't seen anything.
I've talke with a friend that have a 32 Gb IPhone, I've asked him things about the phone, he said that if I have a phone like LG, didn't worst thinking about geting a IPhone, I could update mine and get good software.
The point of all this, is that he told me about this forum and I would like to update my phone to an Androis OS, so I can install great things there.
Can anyone help me out?
I think that it is to old and to simple to get clearly visible more as you already have.

But, is it possible to install android system on it, or at least can I update it?
Hi. Been a looong time since I visited the forums. I was unhappy with the performance of my Fuze, so I came here to try some tricks with it. Pretty much did it all just short of installing the Android OS on it...which I think was just starting to be developed before I gave up on the Fuze.
I followed the development of the best roms and radios back in the spring/summer of last year, and the Fuze's got a TAEL rom on it now, and radio "1.12.25.19". The phone worked/works just fine...but I wasn't happy with it, and the large bill that arrived every month, so I ditched it long ago for a simple tracfone.
I'm wondering now though....is it possible to unlock either or both of the phones in a way that would allow me to use the tracfone SIM in the Fuze?
A simple enough question I think....and I tried the search....but I don't exactly know what to search for.
Appreciate any help you can offer. This has been a great forum for me in the past. VERY informative.

Thanks. I've seen that page, and followed the links. However that alone doesn't answer my question. I need to know if this can be done at all first, before I start buying software and codes for a 2? year old phone I don't even use. =)
Where are all the pro hackers and chefs for these things? Maybe the Fuze really WAS that bad, that noone even uses it anymore?
hi folks, i used to come to this forum all the time back in the day when i had my original G1 and then my HD2 and other phones (i dropped off the face of the planet and also forgot my password to my old account, the captcha system is horrendous BTW)
my question is is there any root options and custom rom options for the motorola DROID PRO (verizon)/XPRT (sprint?) -- YES, i've searched and any information i've found is pretty old and seems outdated. i rather not risk bricking my phone with something that no long works. so if someone could pretty please point me in the right direction i would appreciate it so much.
other questions: if rooting is possible on my droidpro -- what custom roms can i use on it?
thank you so much for any help you send my way.
