Re: Some tweaks for the LG Fathom (disable powermobia w/ caveats, no boot snd/animati

No problem cac2us, I was rather frustrated with the phone as stock and I could tell others were too, so I'd thought i'd help since there didn't seem to be much activity surrounding this phone for tweaks.

I just came across this post at xda concerning unlocking (i think sim?) but wasn't successful without contacting a service center with JTAGs but, still got out of it diag menu:
