*official* Lg Keybo aka Lg Env2 Hacking thread

[seyerm]

Anyone learn how to hack the freaking volume on this yet? It's gotta be LOUDER than the crap we got...

[SilentK]

Hacking the volume further would blow the speakers. but if someone can hack the "java" volume, that would be nice.

[UpSideDovvn]

quick question: how do i do it in mac OS X Leopard?

Agreed, it's really just the "Java" volume holding it back. But IMO it's not *that* bad.

I haven't read through most of this thread so my apologies in advance if this has been answered but are you able to get free games onto the LG keybo? Off of a website or some sort of program? I'd really like to be cheap and get me some free games instead of paying like 7 bucks for them.

I've searched google but haven't found much.

Okay so here it goes.

My system is running XP and using the regular LG USB modem drivers, which i will link to later in this post, and bitpim official version 1.0.5 I was able to crack the filesystem and set my own ringtone. Here's how...

1) You'll need to download the lastest version of Bitpim, google it, i'll leave it there. Install it.

2) Next you'll need to download and extract the LG Modem Drivers.

Get it here

Extract onto desktop or wherever you want.

3) Plug in your phone, DO NOT HIT YES WHEN IT ASKS YOU TO CONNECT USB TO COMPUTER. This will then force the COM connection open and ask for drivers. Point it to the area where you extracted your drivers. It will install three drivers and then be done.

4) Start up Bitpim and go to settings. Run phone wizard and select verizon wireless > LG > VX8800 (Venus)

5) Next it will ask for a COM port to connect to. You want to choose the 'LG USB Serial Port' mine came up as COM12 but yours will most definatly be different.

6) Don't bother detecting the phone once you hit next, it won't work. Just finish the wizard and click ok on the setting dialog box. Next go to the filesystem icon on the left then on the next pane over hit the plus sign.

LET BITPIM READ THE FILESYSTEM, THIS TAKE A WHILE, BE PATIENT!

7) Go to brew > shared > ringtone

8) right click on the pane to the right, select New File.

9) Choose your MP3, let it load. Then power cycle your phone.

10) ENJOY!

Any question I will try and answer. This is usually the easiest method for ringtones. Enjoy Kids!

okay i have another question .. i did go out and buy at micro sd card... and did everything up to step 6... but it sais failed to read the filesystem ?? any ideas why

i tried this and it does not let me download the drivers it says that i need to roll back my vista to xp or 98 or whatever. and i do the same thing that u said with bitpim and when i go to file system it does not pull anything up. i have seen other posts ehere people vista download the drivers and they say to keep downloading it into vista three times and then i don't get the error dpwnload message. i am going ****ing crazy

Silly question but not so silly. Koodo now has the Keybo and Koodo is owned by Telus - will these hacks work on the Keybo for Koodo users? It seems the phone a lot of the same missing features like ringtones so I am assuming it's a yes....?

It never hurts to try!

[The_Mechanix]

will this work on the telus version of this phone, and will this bitpim program allow me to edit the theme, like using photoshop, to make the theme a different color?
