How TO Downgrade To 2.2
This is a guide on how to downgrade your phone if you updated to 2.2.1 and lost root.
First you will have to get files from here
Extract it to your desktop
The file "LGNPST_General_v1.2_Lab_Version.msi" must be run first. this installs the program but it will be unusable. Take the file in the "LGNPST LAB 1.2" folder and copy and paste it into "C:/LG Electronics/LGNPST/".
Make a shortcut on your desktop for this file as it is the one needed to make the program work.
Than install the Companent and Generic files From here
This will install all versions of the .dll's from 1.0 to 5.0
Next create a folder named "Model" and "LGVS660" in "C:/LG Electronics/LGNPST/".
Now extract the KGVS660.rar and put the "tot', SCR and the dll file into the "LGVS660" Folder.
Now open up the run program and put this in there (regsvr32 "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Model\LGVS660\VS660.dll") without the ()
From there open LGNPST from your shortcut. If your phone is plugged in it should recognize it immediately. If it doesn't click "File" then "Select DLL then choose MS690.dll from the list.
Make sure that where it says "Provision" it is set to "Upgrade". Do not ask about any of the other modes because I have no idea what they do or how they work.
Where it says "BIN file" click the folder icon and type in *.* where it says file name then click "Open" then choose the "MS690ZV3_36.S3_36.P3014.tot" file.
Put a check mark in "SCR file" and add the "Common_UserSCR_00.scr" file
Once that's done you're set for a complete restore and back on the path of 2.2 and get rooted again.

I have just installed this on I-jam. Thank you for the rom. I now seem to be missing the program which allowed me to assign photos and backgrounds to contacts. Is there any way of getting this back or can you recommend another program I can use in its place?
The advantage of the Big Storage hack is that the storage area is now accessible for other purposes and that you can select which softare to install from the Extended ROM. You'll find various Extended ROM versions in the ftp server. The cab file that you are looking for is called Caller ID.
I am trying to install the phone dialler software but is comes up with iacaller.dll in use, how do i install it, any help appreciated..
phonepad
can anyone tell me how to uninstall this please
in order to remove the iacaller.dll from use, try removing it from your \windows\startup folder, then soft-reset. Then you should be able to run the cab file. However there will be several other *.dll that need to be replaced but are read-only. What you have to do is manually rename those to something else (I just put a OLD_ in front of the name). Do this either through the the activesync explorer or you can select to "view all files" from your pocket pc file explorer. I don't remember the ones that need to be renamed, I had a list but who knows where it is now... So you'll have to rename them one by one as the device prompts you. so for example it'll say name.dll is in use cannot copy - remember the name of the file, exit the installer (or most likely the installer will exit itself) then go into the \windows folder, locate the file, rename it to OLD_XXX.dll then run the cab again. Repeat as necessary. Good luck.
Heres a very simple and very small program I made with MortScript. I call it QuickReboot 1.0. It will ask you if you whant to soft-reset your phone. It works best if you map it to a hardware button, well, It does for me.
READ! VERY IMPORATANT HOW TO USE: Unzip the zip file and move the file "QuickReboot" to the My device folder (The root of your device) Then click on it. It will then make a shortcut to itslef in the programs folder. Then use it whenever you need to soft-reset. TO UNINSTALL IT: Open your file explorer and goto /Windows/start-menu/Programs and delete it from that folder. Then its completely gone from your device
IF YOU TAP ON THE FILE WHEN ITS NOT IN THE "My device" FOLDER, IT CANNOT MAKE A COPY TO "Programs" FOLDER!
Requirements: Mortscript 4.0
(You need MortScript 4.0 to use QuickReboot)
If you don't have mortScript 4.0 download here: http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/mortscript/MortScript-4.0.zip
Free and NOT SPACE-TAKING
Cool, im gonna try it on my TP. thx
thanks and correction
first of all thanks! that's exactly what i was looking for.
second, i had to edit your code a little because the copying didnt work. your path was ".../start-menu/..." and should have been ".../start menu/..."
Okay so I used a .EXE file I found on a site and my phone shows the android application but when I click it, it doesn't load how do I load android..?
To launch Android, run "HaRET" using the phone's File Explorer app.
It might not be strictly necessary, but you'll probably have better luck if you put all the files needed to boot Android (HaRET, the .img file, etc) in the root directory of your uSD card. I discovered the hard way that if you unzip the files and copy them to a subdirectory (say, "//Storage Card/AndroidXXX"), then proceed to launch HaRET from that subdirectory, itseems to ignore one or more of the files in that directory and will use the files in "//Storage Card" instead.
How do you install programs on the HD.
Eg. i was trying to install HD Tweak. I downloaded the files from here. But when I open the setup file in the HD, it tried to open the file in Opera, and then stays blank!!!
What am I doing wrong?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I usually sync to my laptop and D/L from there to my documents or another appropriate file on the phone. Click and drag, easy.
I need more info. You downloaded the cab file to your PC and then copied the cab to your device via activesync? Where did you copy the file to in your HD? Generally what I do is copy the cab file from my PC to my SD card via activesync. Go to my storage card via file explorer in programs. Touch the cab file, and it installs.
I downloaded HD-Tweak from here http://montecristoff.webs.com/hdtweak.htm, but the zip file does not show a .cab file? it only shows a .xml setup file, which, when I try to open, opens in an Opera browser?
you downloaded a cab file, not a zip file, which it looks like you extracted mistakenly as a zip file which is why you're dealing w/ the xml. Copy the cab file that you downloaded from your pc to your phone and then run it on the phone.
Alternatively if you have Cabviaactivesync installed you can just right click on the cab from your pc w/ the phone attached and select CabviaActivesync and it will start the installation on your phone.
I see what's happening. The cab file is what you downloaded. Inside the cab file is a bunch of things, one of which is an xml setup file, which I think you're copying and trying to install on your device. For whatever reason, after you unzip, your taken inside the guts of the cab file. You don't copy any of that. Close out of that. You don't open a cab file. On your PC, the cab file should be an icon that looks like a blue and white file cabinet. If you see that, don't open it. Instead, either drag the icon into your device via activesync or copy it into your device via activesync. Once in the device, go to folder in which you copied it and tap on it. It should then install properly.
Wow! thanks, it worked.
Works in any Android ROM
This will teach you how to make a custom boot screen. (Usually replaces the default HTC quietly brilliant screen)
I HAVE NOW INCLUDED MY FIRST BOOTSCREEN. (It is katy perry wearing an elmo shirt) Download both items, and extract the one that says "EXTRACT THIS.rar" and make sure "Just download this.rar" is in the same file location. (I had to do this because the upload limit was 8mb and I had to split the file)
Then skip to Step 12
I sorted them into steps so you can easily follow what you must do.
1. Download "Root Explorer" from the Android Market. and allow SuperUser access
2. Open the application and go to system->customize->resource->and locate the file that says "bootanimation.zip"
3. on the top of the screen, there should read a toggle that says "Mount R/W". Click it, to where it says "Mount R/O". (Turns on the option to write to your Root)
4. Copy this file to your computer
5. Now put this aside for a while. Download the file attached to this post, extract it, and add it to your it to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Scripts
6. Get a .gif or .avi file and open it with Adobe Photoshop. (Make sure it is already edited and must have a frame size of 480X800)
7. Now in Photoshop, go to, File->Scripts->Export Layers to Files(Fast PNG)
8. Locate the file you downloaded earlier to your computer from your phone. Extract it and go into the "android" folder.
9. Go to wherever you saved the exported layers, and rename every frame with accordance the frames in the "android" folder. So it matches.
10. Put all the renamed frames in the "android" folder and delete the old ones.
11. Use WinRar to zip them up again. BUT DO NOT COMPRESS THE .ZIP FILE, OTHERWISE THE PHONE WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT.
12. Go back to your phone and locate the old "bootanimation.zip" and rename it to "bootanimation.bak".
13. Copy the the new "bootanimation.zip" into the same location and reboot phone.
14. Enjoy!!
Thanks for this very interesting tutorial.
Does anyone know a way without using Photoshop?
