lg-phones — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:25:38 +0000

This tip I just copied and pasted from LG enV Touch forum, Hope this is helpful, enjoy!

I was messing around today on my phone in the service menu and found something. It is a camera like thing that allows you to change:
Frame Rate (FPS)
Output Format
Length
Color Setting
And a few other this. Here’s how to get to it:
1.) Dial ##LGSERVICEMENU
2.) Six zero’s
3.) Media center settings-LG
4.) Get It Now
5.) Browse and Download
6.) Qcamcorder

Very interesting.

I will post a better, more in depth tut on how to get there and the different things I find out when I get home. CommentAuthorcommandofern CommentTime1 hour ago edit
Ok. Updated tut.
1.) Dial ##LGSERVICEMENU
2.) Enter 6 zero’s (000000)
3.) Option 8: Media Center Settings-LG
4.) Option 1: Get It Now-LG
5.) Scroll Right 5 (Five) Times to "Browse & Download"
6.) Scroll Right 6 (Six) Times to "QCamcorder"
-This the initial "camera" Part.
-To change some of the settings:
7.) Press the Right Key 8 (Eight) Times

I can confirm the settings for Frame Rate, Quality, length, and output format to work.

Any comments. CommentAuthorDoral330 CommentTime1 hour ago
what will this change about the camera? have you noticed anything different. CommentAuthorcommandofern CommentTime30 minutes ago edit
Ok. Changing the following settings:
Frame rate to 30 FPS
Target frame rate to 30 FPS
Bitrate 1280000 bytes
Video Quality the top one like wvga
And like two other things that I forget.

These settings make the video nearly Flawless. It eliminates the "ghost" figures from low refresh rates. It does obviously limit how much you can record. The settings are kind of cut off and turned to the side but it is usable. There is one page that shows how much room you have left. eg. i have like 8496 seconds left that I can record. I do not know if this changes picture quality. I just thought it was realy cool. CommentAuthorDoral330 CommentTime25 minutes ago
dude your right i love the camera now. thanks CommentAuthorcommandofern CommentTime10 minutes ago edit
I love it how I get so board and just dive feet first into these menus and poking around and I find stuff like this. At first, I thought you had to go through these menus for it, but in fact, it transfers over to the real camera.

dl the file in the first post
make sure u hav lgmodem driver installed
once uve installed lgnpst
go to computer-lg electronics-lgnpst
create a folder in there called ‘model’
then inside model make a folder ‘LGVX-11000′
then once uve dled that rapidshare file
extract it
and drag the .dll file into the lgvx-11000 folder u just created
and then drag the whole ‘VRZ’ folder into the lgvx-11000 folder
then open up lgnpst and make sure it detects ur fone
set ur fone in airplane mode and then on computer once lgnpst has detected ur fone

How To Add Custom Ringtones to LG Chocolate Touch without Bitpim

lg-phones — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:25:32 +0000

The default ringtones that comes with the LG Chocolate Touch are pretty basic and blank. You can, instead, use your own piece of music as a ringtone on your LG Chocolate Touch. Bitpim is a good tool, but sometimes it didn’t even work for somebody. So here is an instruction on how to add custom ringtones to LG Chocolate Touch with Bitpim! LG Phone Problem and Solution

How to:

Back up anything that you have on your micro sd card.
Put in a memory card in memory card slot in phone.
Format the card using your cell phone.(Menu, Settings, Memory, Card Memory & then format the card. Your code is the last four digits of your cell number.) This erases everything on the card puts all the necessary folders on the memory card to put in your wallpapers and ringtones. LG-Chocolate Touch info
Put the memory card in your computer or in memory card reader so that your computer can read the card. Access it thru My Computer and open the ringtone folder/my pix folder, etc.
Drag and drop your ringtones into the ringtone folder or wallpapers in the pix folder… it’s as simple as that!

How to remove Theme Manager from LG Viewty

lg-phones — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:40:55 +0000

I just found this tutorial on mygreatphone forum. Hopefully this will help a lot of you to remove the great Theme Manager from your LG Viewty.

Caution: Please read all of these instructions before attempting to do anything! Very time remember to back-up your firmware first so that if any mistakes are made then you can restore your LG Viewty back to working order. LG-Viewty info

How to Remove Theme Manager from LG Viewty steps:

1. In the same way that you installed theme manager, connect to EFS, so that you have the SWF folder open in the top half and in the bottom half the same, or just the files;
theme_bg2.swf
widget2.swf
nyx_viewtyx.swf
widget4.swf is an additional file supplied by TM so needs deleting rather than copying back.

2. Now you just right click and choose "write" on each of these files in the bottom half so that they copy back to the phone in the top half
There shouldn’t be any need to rename LGAPP to TOTO for this process, but if you get errors then go ahead and do this.

3. Last thing to do is to delete the theme folder from either your memory card or from the theme folder located at LGAPP/Media/Swf/Theme if you used your phones memory
That should be it, no more Theme Manager. LG Phone Problem and Solution

How to make LG eXpo / IQ faster? LG Phone Problem and Solution

Installing the .Net 3.5 framework is really a good idea! Some programs require the updated framework and it has the added benefit of speeding up the LG eXpo / IQ.

You will also see it spelled dotNET because some search engines don’t like a period in front of a word. You will also need to change a registry entry to make .Net 3.5 the default version. LG-eXpo info

The LG eXpo / IQ like every other WM phone comes with .Net 2.0. This is an older version than the current 3.5 or even the beta 3.7. Well you can download .Net 3.5 and install it to your phone from Microsoft. Here is the link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E3821449-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

To install the framework 3.5 on LG eXpo / IQ

Download the framework 3.5:
Connect the phone to your PC
Run the file you have just downloaded
You are done!

How to make full-screen Java Games/Apps on LG Xenon

lg-phones — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:57:36 +0000

Hello all, I am back with another great tutorial about how to install Java games & application in LG Xenon with full screen without the on-screen virtual keypad. So have fun with this trick. LG-Xenon info

Here is step by step procedure for installing full screen games on LG Xenon.

Simply open the .jar file with WinZip or WinRAR, go to the META-INF folder, and open the MANIFEST.MF file. LG Phone Problem and Solution

At the bottom of the file, insert the following lines to make it full-screen in portrait view:
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 240
LGE-MIDlet-Height: 400

If you want the game/app in full-screen in landscape view, insert these lines:
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 400
LGE-MIDlet-Height: 240

If you extracted the MANIFEST.MF file, then drag it back into the .jar file, and into the META-INF folder.

If you can’t get the game/app to run from your memory card, upload the .jar file to a website, and download it from there from your phone; as most games/apps don’t work directly from the memory card.

This has not been posted anywhere on the internet, after extensive searching, so I thought I’d post my findings here.

FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, THESE ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE:

LG Xenon Bypass Java security?

lg-phones — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:37:35 +0000

I have read the thread about bypassing the java restrictions on a LG TU720 (Shine) and LG Vu, and i was wondering if the same thing was possible on the ATT network with my LG Xenon? LG Phone Problem and Solution

The Java signing policies say that only AT&T-signed apps can access Internet without prompting. Third-party signed apps have session "one-shot" (prompt at first access), and third-party unsigned apps prompt on every access. LG-Xenon info

Anyone figure this out? Please let me know, thanks.
