Hacking LG Mobile – KG195 Hacked for increased features

I have an LG KG195,an average mobile by LG electronics. A modest mobile with modest features, I purchased it for INR 3500/- (80$ approx) last year on my birthday. It has got Bluetooth, a basic media player and a VGA camera. However I soon got bored of this set and decided to tweak it to make it a more desirable device.

LG KG195 offers multitude of features,however I was more focused on increasing its music volume which is quite low as compared to other sets like that of Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Remember these hacks are applicable to other multimedia

LG sets too.
