Kitchen released

[da_reeseboy]

I am uploading 4 ROMs and the stuff needed to flash for anyone interested. It has 4 hours to go on the upload and will be in this share folder when done - ReeseBoys LG Fathom folder - MediaFire
Items included -
- LG Drivers and LGNPST - contains the 3 driver installs, and a folder with LGNPST and a readme for correct install order. PLEASE follow it.
- LG Fathom Cleaned ROM w Opera 10 no MMS - cleaned as in bloatware mostly removed, still have a few things to go. Running Windows default texting so no MMS.
- LG Fathom Cleaned ROM w Opera 10 - same as above but with Powermobia added back in.
- LG Fathom v7 ROM - stock v7 ROM, just in a bin format so you can flash it this way instead of thru the default way (I always had trouble getting the "correct" way to work)
- LG Fathom v7-5 hybrid ROM - running the v5 OEMs with the v7 SYS. It looks and acts like v5, just has the newer Windows sys 23127 from v7

I personally recommend the Clean w Opera10 and still having Powermobia right now - you lose no (wanted) features and it boots pretty fast. I haven't personally been successful with functional MMS without Powermobia, but I'm far from done.

To flash the phone follow these instructions spocky gave in this thread on xda (be sure to thank him, he did the hard stuff) -

1- Install drivers
- LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981CAN33AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3. 3
- LGWindowsMobile_USBDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0
- LGSmartPhone_ModemlinkDUNDrive_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0
You should easily find them (or more recent version) using your favorite search engine.

2- Install the flash tool
The only one that I know of being able to flash decrypted roms is LGNPST. Sorry, you'll have to search for it on the web (shouldn't be too difficult to find).
If using lgnpst, you'll also need to register this dll (using regsvr32 vs750.dll in a dos command prompt)

3- Connect the phone
To be able to connect the vs750 to lgnpst, you have to be in composite mode (on the phone, go to "settings/connections/Switch usb" then select "VzAccess Manager", click "save" and finally wait for it to reboot.

It's possible to flash this phone in emergency mode (if anything goes wrong and the fathom doesn't boot), but if you do so, you might lose your nv (and MEID info). To boot in emergency mode, shutdown your phone, unplug it, then press the "5" key on the keyboard and while keeping it down, plug the usb cable.
Don't do it unless necessary.

4- Save NV (just to be able to recover in case of problems)

- Put your phone in composite mode
- Plug the phone to your pc
- Launch LGNPST.exe, it should detect your phone (filename on the top right panel should be "VS750.dll").
- Click on "phone settings", wait a few secondes for a new window to appear
- Click on read button
- It will create a VS750_COMx.nvs in C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST
- Close the windows and click on "click here to continue".

5- Flash the Rom

- Put your phone in composite mode
- Plug the phone to your pc
- Launch LGNPST.exe
- Go in provision Tab (should be selected by default)
- Select Upgrade
- BIN file : "c:\VS750\BIN\VS750XXX5.BIN"
- Check SCR File, then select "C:\VS750\SCR\VS750VZ7_04.scr"
- Check PRL, Nam1 (uncheck nam2), select "C:\VS750\PRL\58006 - EVDO OEM Factory Default.prl"
- Don't check Eri file
- Click on "start"
- Keep fingers crossed for approximately 10min. The phone will reboot a few times, this is normal.
- Enjoy your 1st VS750 custom rom

Also note that for lgnpst to accept your rom, its name will need to start with "vs750".
And don't worry, there is almost no risk of really bricking the phone (especially if you saved the nvs).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE backup your nvs before you start flashing roms.

What are the tech specs on LG Fathom Cleaned ROM w Opera 10 , how much space is saved really?
_

Also is there a way to fully remove Titanium on WinMo 6.5 device or are we S.O.L. and stuck with it? I'd like a basic plain today screen like as in 6.1 cause I really dislike Titanium and would rather theme it myself.

Exactly how anemic would you like this ROM?
I can cook one up in a few minutes and see what happens with it. I could even try to rip out Office if you'd like.
So far I've pretty much gotten everything else cleaned out. I'll see what happens when I try using some of my own EXT files.

Built!
What's included: Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Core
What's removed:
Adobe Flash
Adobe Flash Codecs
AutoUpdate
CHome (Titanium)
Entertainment (Games (solitare))
Lockscreen
Office
OneNote
SampleMusic
Microsoft Myphone (kinda useless really)
Welcome center
Windows Live
Widgets
PowerMobia
LG Volume
Startup and Shutdown animations

OEM Items:
Arcsoft MMS
LG Camera
LG Mobile Hotspot
LG Phone Canvas

That's it.

It's available here.

I HAVE NOT TESTED IT. It should work though.

I'd actually like to keep...
Adobe Flash
Adobe Flash Codecs
Lockscreen
Office
OneNote

Unless theres better stuff out there that replaces this?

But I got a question for buggy ram issues, has anyone tried Ateksoft CoolCamera and CoolCapture instead of the default camera? It used to be my favorite camera app on my samsung i760, but it didn't wanna work too well on my HTC TP2, dunno bout the LG Fathom cause I haven't got it from ebay yet.

Speaking of which, wish me luck I took a gamble, it was a mint condition LG Fathom just no battery or battery door, so even still when I get it I've got to order a battery and door, but I'm gunna get the extended battery. I just hope the phone actually works. LoL!

Same here, when I tried the striped ROM from da_reeseboy, leaving the camera out did not net any RAM that I could tell.
The one I am running now (LG Fathom Cleaned ROM w Opera 10), I can't seem to get GPS working. I think something was mentioned about this a few pages back..
I won't have much time to work the kitchen until I get this order of bulbs finished.
I guess it can't be much harder then building the ROM for the i910 was. I just have a hell of a time with all those reg edits...

GPS isn't all that important I guess, so I will stick with what I am using for now...

Hey pizzaboy192, have you uploaded any of your other Fathom ROMs?
I don't text, mms or sms but I do like to use the email that doesn't do the "Threaded" thing. And I only use WiFi for data. I wasn't about to fall prey to VZW and their racket tiering scam. They don't seem to allow certain phones newer then the Diamond to use pay per use data...

Any way, If you could find time to cook and post a ROM like the "LG Fathom Cleaned ROM w Opera 10", or close to it with a functional GPS, I would appreciate it very much..

I can see about uploading some other comes. I can strip them down for a minimal build. The one I posted has working gps, and office is available from the market. It would probably work well as a test. I am Home for a few random days, so I will try my best to upload a few fun roms.

Dear Sir,
I have checked it, it is useles, you have almost every thing including office excluded. Sir, then what is the meaning of Windows Mobile without office. Another thing there has not been any extra space or rom gain. Without office it should be a bin file of less than 100 mb.
Thanks.
I have made a Rom of about 128mb of your help and Mr. da_reeseboy help is included to built and it is almost good working and complete clean, accept there is only name included in device program file ( i.e Cit, MIM, VVM) and nothing else, I will try to upload in attachment in this forum with one or two days for your testing and checking.
Thanks

I pulled Office from the rom because it js free from the marketplace and available in your own localization.

I will recheck my kitchen this week and see what might be wrong.

as per the keyboard:
the fathom's weird physical keyboard layout means that the LG SIP is the only one that handles the FN key and shift key properly. If it was possible to run the LG SIP in landscape and any other in portrait it would work better...
