Chinese Phone - Port English - LG GW825V

I just tried using the LG IQ Camera files instead of the files from this ROM and I no longer have the issue of 'Use' and 'Rename' not fitting on the screen.

The Photo Album behaviour is different as well.  With the 825V camera it goes straight to the 3D photo album, but with the IQ camera (probably eXpo as well) it goes to the regular Photo album.

Ya, I think I must have been missing files for the 3D Gallery.  If I remember correctly, the stock IQ ROM went to the 3D Gallery as well.

Hey Trueg... when you get this rom fully ported would you mind posting it for others to try.  I'm curious to know what 6.5 build it runs and if there are any other improvements you've noticed versus the stock expo/iq roms.  Thanks.

OK, give this a try.  I believe I got most of it. 

There is a Chinese character that comes up when you receive a call.  I wasn't able to find where it is, it must be a resource contained within a dll or exe. 

Also, the font in Google Maps is crazy small.  If anyone knows where this is set, please let me know.


I tried to change as little as possible.  Note that for some reason they cranked up the volume.  I could have changed it, but I wanted to leave it as close to stock as possible.

Oh, I also noticed that the menu in SPB News is still Chinese.  I would need an English copy of SPBNews.exe to correct that.


Included in the archive is just the ROM dz.  Use the stock Flasher for your device.  Don't forget to use the DLL that matches your device (GW825WR.dll for GW825, GW825VWR.dll for GW825V, etc etc)

This ROM should work on the eXpo and IQ.  It may or may not work on a GW825v.

I also just wanted to add that my radio performance with this rom seems to be better.  I have actually got four bars when in many places and I would almost never get that before.  Also extreme fringe areas seem to lock onto what little signal is there.

A few more notes:

I forgot to mention that I added ADC (Auto Data Config).  Mostly because I was sick of manually configuring my carrier. 

VoiceCommand was not included by LG and neither was xT9, although there were several Chinese keyboards included (CEStar.cab).

Apps included (not found on eXpo or IQ):
ASPlayer (ArcSoft Streaming Player)
Band setting (switch between auto, 3G & 2G - cab posted a few days ago)
Facebook
Gypsii
SPB Apps

I also noticed a few tweaks normally found in 6.5.3 like AutoFontResize in IE and increased Treeview spacing.

Plus, there were a few changes to the GPS driver and configuration and I have found that I get a lock much quicker than before.

Extract the GW825V English ROM (rom.dz) to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\
and then run SP_Starter.exe in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LGMOBILEAX\SmartPhoneSetup\

It may still not work because of the differences in your flash.bin, but you never know.
