LG Fathom Rom (not yet)

Rather than cluttering the Dragonstorm thread I figured I'd put a placeholder up.

Incase the few people interested in trying to find this rom don't read xda I'm cross posting this here.

Can90 managed to get me a network capture to look through, unfortunately it doesn't contain a reference to the stock rom. I assume this is because LG just hasn't uploaded it yet.

For anyone that wants to play with URLs to try and find it, this is the relevant portion of the response to lg's updater app.

<model>LGVS750SS</model>
<suffix>AVRZDB</suffix>
<sw_version />
<sw_url />
<sw_locale_url>/</sw_locale_url>
<sw_recommand_uri>AIC/GLOBAL</sw_recommand_uri>
<app_version />
<app_url />
<cs_em_flag>N</cs_em_flag>
<cs_em_uri>N</cs_em_uri>
<chip_type />

normally sw_url and sw_locale_url would have what we want, but they're empty 

Hi Mcnee, Welcome to the forums.

That is excellent news, Hopefully someone can help hook you up too.

I know we want a couple software features from the fathom, that are pretty cool.

Myself, I don't know enough to be able to assist.

Thank you though, from a LG bro to another.

Someone at XDA found the ROM here:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGVS750/AVRZDB/VS750ZV5_06/VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.cab

Tools/instructions to manipulate this type of file are here:

Make sure to download the posted file Inf_WebDnld.dll

Good luck, I can't get past the command line prompt

Technically speaking the LG Utils program should do what we need...my procedure went thusly:
1. Hit H to open to the wdb dump tool
2. Type in the location of Inf_WebDnld.dll making sure to respect capitalization
3. Type in the location of the wdb file itself.
4. Type in the ROM version -- have tried both the one listed on XDA as well as the one that another LG tool spits out (it's the exact same as the wdb file name, minus "wdb" of course).

 At this point I either get an error "Merged file open fail! Where is your image file to download into phone" or it seems to succeed but does not produce the expected folder.

Sadly enough this is the same thing that happens to me. I have also tried numerous variations. I noticed that this is an upgrade to the version that came stock on the fathom. da_reeseboy has version VS750ZV4 and the cab file is version VS750ZV5. I'm wondering if there is someone with a fathom that might be willing to try upgrading and looking in the LGMOBILEAX folder for the rom before exiting the upgrade program.

da_reeseboy dumped his Fathom rom. So far I have managed to port the dialer to the eXpo. I am having a bit of trouble with the keyboard though. I had to hard reset my phone because something went wrong. For those interested in the Dialer I attached a cab. For those interested in the Fathom dump here is the link:

I am planning on releasing a new rom with some new features and fixes; and the dialer in it. I want to try and get the keyboard ported before I do though.

EDIT: I have also ported the sensor settings menu from the Fathom. It will allow you to turn the accel sensor, Luminous Sensor, and Proximity Sensor on and off at will. Attached is a cab. You will find the sensor setting in settings>system. It is called Sensor. I haven't been able to get the part on the Accel sensor that changes the orientation of the screen without turning on the accel sensor, but the accel sensor on and off function works fine. After installing this the LG menu won't be needed anymore.

installed and like the sensor settings, but wouldn't the lg menu still be needed for the biometric scanner?

Oddly enough there is a separate program called LGPhoneSettings in the windows folder that will give us the options needed for the biometric scanner. Now the only thing the LG menu will be needed for is for the Screen Output settings and the Touch feedback settings which most of us probably don't even touch. I'm thinking that I'm going to add a shortcut for LGPhoneSettings and leave the LG Menu, but move it to the tools folder so it is out of the way.
