This is not a secret for most phones but if you type
##PROGRAM980 into the dialer and code 000000 you get a hidden menu. It doesn't seem to do anything good unless someone can clarify DO NOT DO ANYTHING!!!
ha under device security it shows that it's rooted. wonder if that's pulling from the same flag that shows rooted in the menu

Most variants talk about a #*3646#800 or something like that to access their hidden menu, where the 800 is the model number. Many people have said that doesn't work for the VZW variant, though.
Are there editable fields for your method here? If so, what can be changed?
I'm not sure. I found this code for other version lg s and I put in our model number and it worked.

That code is the the LG hidden menu. The apk for that was not included in the vzw variant. There id a thread where is has been pulled from an AT&T device, it then can be side loaded and works with adb but not through the dialer. The hidden menu is the op is a vzw hidden menu and doesn't really contain much info or really anything useful for an average user.

Has anyone actually tried copying out the dialer/phone app from an international ROM and putting it into a US ROM? I did a quick search of the dev and general Tab forums and haven't seen a mention of it.
Is the limitation for not making calls in the modem or kernel, or is it just the lack of the software?

I *think* it is just the lack of software.
Interesting. I may have to look into this, compare an international ROM to the stock AT&T one.
Are either of you actually reading these forums?
The AT&T Tab has already been hacked to make calls.
The TMo Tab can be made to make calls, but you'll lose 3G.

It's been tried. So has just flashing the modem. Neither worked.
Yeah I've seen those posts, I was just just wanting to see if there was any way to do it without having to flash another ROM onto my Tab. I'm guessing it's pretty deeply ingrained into the framework or something.
(Mainly wanted to ask because my quick search did not pull up results of retrofitting Phone capability into a "crippled" US ROM)
I dont know if this has been pointed out before but in my tmo tab when using root explorer and I look in system/app all the phone apps are already installed. They are just being blocked, is there a way to modify them to work?

The dialer is there and I think it is installed but is disabled somehow. Trying to bring it up just displays a message on the screen saying the dialer application is not supported on this device. I would be very interested in just modifying this ROM to re-enable that feature so flashing the EURO ROM isn't necessary. I am sure someone will figure it out before me but I am looking into it too. I am just so scared of doing stuff with this thing because for some reason it feels like uncharted territory and I am afraid of unknown consequences. Once the dialer is working a simple IMEI and serial number change will remove any restrictions on T-Mobile's end.

Do you have an SPT box? You need the hardware this isn't a pure software solution.
http://www.sptbox.com/Products/Default.aspx
And it isn't cheap so I haven't decided whether or not I want it that bad. But I have been reading their forums and this product can in fact change the IMEI and serial number. It has been tested as sucessful on just about every GSM model of the TAB there is.
I just realized this is all way off topic. The OP is talking about enabling the dialer software and not changing the IMEI. Lets continue this in another thread.

Anyone know the dialer code for engineering mode on this device? Specifically on the TMO model (h918), but if anyone knows it for any other model I'd appreciate it too.
Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, I tried searching but couldn't find anything for this device.
*#546368#*918#. Not sure of engineering mode. The last 3 digits are tour model number. Sonic yours is 910, use 910. But you me room you have e T-Mobile so the above number should work. Not 100% sure that is engineering mode but lots you can change there of f up. Proceed with caution.

you can enable "force long display" to always open apps in 18:9 screen ratio.
ps: this will disable the app scaling feature as it'll always be 18:9..
there are other usefull stuff too like disabling LDB app which will free up some ram (about 100 mb). and other stuff..

I still don't quite understand the inner workings of how LG makes the app scaling work. If you switched DPI to <500 via adb it basically stops working, BUT so far I've not seen one app with weird graphics, even netflix: all i have to do is press the maximize button a second time when the video is playing full screen and the black bars go away.

The hidden menu APK. it changes a setting from Operational mode to "Lab operation" and it enables use of GSM. So far it works with the G5, V20, and a few low end Boost mobile/Sprint prepaid LG devices.

The G5 and the V20 are two different beasts as far as the software correlation..
The G5 was shipped with 6.0, the V20 shipped with 7.0, the menu options were altered to prevent unlocking with the V20 via this method..
Just as it's removed in the G6 as well.

Yeah the G5 both 6.0 and 7.0 working correctly at the moment. Hopefully it doesn't get patched. But I've never recommended using Sprint phone outside of Sprint anyway. I've never had a stable signal in fringe areas oddly.
But outside the US Sprint devices are sold on a large scale LG devices at least.
Also with 7.0 something that may assist others, with that hiddenmenu apk, you can go to the svc menu -> port check test -> enable, then set the usb connection mode to file transfer / Always and obtain your SPC/MSL using any qualcomm LG method reader.
The apk still has many uses!
It won't ever get patched in the G5, they can't as the network operation mode is a requirement since it was built in to the framework.

I've been trying to get my msl from sprint for a few days now as im litterally having poor data issues where i know i have good lte. So if i do this do i just download an apk to read the msl or an exe program for windows. My main goal is to go into ##3282# menu under edit (msl) required. under lte and adjust my band priority from 25 to 3 and 26 to 2 and 41 to 1. So in theory this should work right.
