Requirements:
* Latest BitPim software from
www.bitpim.org (tested with 1.0.5)
* LG phone tools software (
http://www.lg-vu.com/index.php/topic,689.0.html)
* USB cable
Instructions:
1. Install software listed above
2. Hook up phone in Data Service mode.
3. Launch BitPim
4. BitPim should show "Other CDMA phone on COMx" (where x is the COM port being used)
5. Choose Edit, Settings
6. Change Phone Type to "LG-VX8700" (this is the CDMA version Vu)
7. Click OK to close
8. Choose View, View Filesystem
9. Click the Filesystem icon
10. Click the expand button beside "/"
11. It will say "Retrieving" for a minute or two
12. Expand to the following directory: /LGAPP/Media/Flash
13. Right Click on the Flash folder and choose "Backup Directory."
14. After it creates a zip file extract it to a folder of your choosing.
15. Copy all of the T2 swf and xml files to a separate directory. Make sure you still have a backup of all the original files. Keep these seperate at all times.
16. In your new T2 directory rename all the T2 files to T1 files (eg T2_menu.swf becomes T1_menu.swf)
17. In BitPim right click on Flash and choose "New File." Choose the newly renamed T1_menu.swf.
18 . Repeat step 17 for EACH of the other renamed T1 files (they should all be xml files).
19. Close BitPim, disconnect you phone and restart it.
You now should have the entertainment icon instead of the Mobile TV icon. Mobile TV is still on you phone, but now you don't have to look at that damn icon you will never use.
Note: Mobile TV will still be on your phone, but you WILL NOT be able to access it. Don't do this unless you, like me, had no desire to use it. You can reverse this by going through steps 17-19 with the backup copies of your original T1 files.
