HTCSensorSDK for the LG Expo / IQ

lg-phones — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:21:11 +0000

Due to excessive nagging primarily from jug6ernaut but also a few others, I’ve attempted to make a HTC GSensor Emulator for the LG Expo GSensor.

Only the basic GSensor calls are supported (polling), none of the advanced HTCSensorSDK stuff. This means that while some apps will work, some will not. Boing and Diamond Hologram do work, though! LG Cell Phone Software

So far every app I’ve tried works well! I haven’t had any that haven’t worked, but I’ll start a new thread with working/not working. Enjoy! LG-eXpo info

LG Chocolate Touch Custom Flash Wallpapers Download

lg-phones — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:36:57 +0000

The main idea of this is to teach you how to add your custom flash wallpapers to your LG Chocolate Touch. You can create interactive, content rich backgrounds for your phone’s home screen. You then replace the stock "fun animation" wallpapers that came with your phone and BAM, you’ve got yourself a spiffy looking phone. The purpose of this post is to give you all of the tools you will need to get this accomplished. LG Cell Phone Software

Before adding your custom flash wallpapers, you will need to know how to use the bitpim! http://www.lg-phones.org/bitpim-software-for-lg-chocolate-touch.html

Okey, below is the instruction on how to add your custom flash wallpapers to your LG Chocolate Touch. LG-Chocolate Touch info

Once you have your LG Chocolate Touch connected via bitpim, navigate to FileSystem/Flash/UI/Wallpapers
In this folder you should see five different files. If you read the titles of each, what they are should become clear; they are the 4 "fun animations"! These are the files that we will need to replace with our custom wallpapers.
Before we go about changing anything, make sure you back-up the stock "fun animations" by right clicking and saving them to our computer.
Now, right click on one of the files in bitpim and select "overwrite". Then navigate to the custom .swf wallpaper file on your computer and click open. This will replace the stock animation with your custom one. You do not have to rename your files before overwriting the ones on the LG Chocolate Touch.
Try to remember which number wallpaper you overwrite, because they will still have their stock names when viewed on the phone. If it’s wallpaperType3Sub.swf then it will show up as the third wallpaper down in the "Fun Animations" menu on the phone.
To display these on your LG Chocolate Touch, go to Menu/Settings & Tools/Display Settings/Wallpaper/Fun Animations and then choose the corresponding wallpaper that you replaced, and press set.
Now you should see your custom flash wallpaper!
If you need to restore the original wallpapers, simply redo these steps, but replace your custom swf files with the stock ones that you backed up earlier in this guide.
