I just got my Atom and I can honestly say it isn't bad.

The Screen contrast is completely adjustable and it seems better than my XDA II.

Also it is slow however, it gets a lot faster when you remove all the crap out of startup.

Only been using it for a short period but I'm currently happy with it.
[General Topics] sh500:
How do you adjust the contrast? I only played around with it for about 20 mins. Like I said it belongs to a mate.
[General Topics] boogiecornejo:
i actually considered that its a quanta device and not htc but as the other poster said, i think the XDA part of the Atom has more weight than its company of origin.

i dont think its because its only been released in a few countries either.a forum dedicated to the universal was up even before it was released if i remember correctly.

so, again i ask the question: why isnt there a dedicated forum to the XDA atom?[/quote]
[General Topics] sh500:
But there are going to far less of these devices than HTC products since O2 Asia is the only carrier of it. The Universal was/is available in many variants by many carriers hence more devices being sold.

All the better if they do have a forum.
[General Topics] boogiecornejo:
but remember, china is the most populous country in the world!!!
[General Topics] cyeoh:
My 2 cents,

Simple fact is this forum is for people with these devices to communciate.

People with XDA Atoms will continue using the forum to communicate regardless of whether there is separate forum for it

A separate forum will make it easier to post in the correct location and stop clogging up the General Discussion, so regardless of who makes it and where it is available, it really doens't make sense not to have a separate forum for it.

[General Topics] Invisible Sense:
I had the Atom for about a week now. The thing looks stunning but performs quite poor. The memory is is a big corncern for me as it's just too low, I've only got 6 Megs left in the storage memory and I haven't loaded half the programs from my Jam yet.

I'm a bit lost and don't know what to do with my Atom because I've also got the K-Jam on upgrade for £30 and it perform much better but just very bulky and not as good looking. I brought the Atom from Expansys and have about 21 days return policy on it.

I really want to keep it but it's such a buggy thing for £552!!
[General Topics] Viwake:
I would suggest not to go in for the k-jam instead of the atom as its WM5 which is the problem (slow) I had the k-jam for 10 days, it was so damn slow I had to get rid of it...I mean if I use the device without installing any other software (WM5 compatible) its fine but as soon as I put 1 or 2 softs its lagged terribly, so stick with the atom & wait for a ROM update...

Also try removing the start up program like the user mentioned above...
[General Topics] cyeoh:
There are also registry Hacks to make WM5 faster.
[General Topics] TseLawrence:
Atom & Dopod 818 Pro (Prophet) are hot machines in Hong Kong market and users are actively arguing about their pros and cons.

However, seems like a new ROM for Atom has been release but only available through service center, even not seen in seeo2.com (official O2 Asian support page). The ROM version is 20051223B2WWE. The general response is the ROM make the machine much much faster and the radio (not FM radio) signal is improved as well. I don't have the machine so cannot verify.

For 818 Pro, we Hong Kong people hearing more and more negative feedback... seems like the bad things raise slowly to the surface, like bubbles in thick oil. On the other hand, a side track news: Dopod is not going to release ROM upgrade as fast as before because so many people do ROM hack. It's really bad news and make me think twice before going for 818 Pro. :x

Not considering the bad reputation and performance during Atom's initial launch, seems like Atom with new ROM patch defeat 818 Pro a little bit... :?:

For me, I have stopped and just wait, to see which device will have a dedicated forum here... if there is no resource and feedback from you guys and play with the device together, no matter how well the device, it's just a consumer gimmick and not compariable to even magician :(
[General Topics] stargator:
I have the Atom for the past 3 weeks and I guess I am not overly satisfied with the product,

even though this is my first PPC , I am a regular reader of all forums and have been following all product launches ,

one fo the main reasons for me to go in for the Atom was WM 2005

but it seems the product as such has some HW issues especially in the sound front ,and Data Transfer rate ,

The speakes are just too bad for what is supposed to be a media center PPC and the USB Active Sync Data Transfer rate is at best OK,

I do not know how a ROM upgrade will improve poor speaker quality and the Data Transfer speed, I guess I will have to just grin and bear it

I will be doing the ROM upgrade next week , will give my updates once I observe the perfomance of the Atom after the upgrade
[General Topics] depressed_atom_user:
A few more Atom gripes

Apart from the poor response time, I also find the standard alarm function does not work properly. A quick test with the alarm set for 10 minutes ahead works well, but 6am the next morning does not sound at all, until you later go into the alarm section to find out why, and then it goes off. Any ideas anyone?

Also, my Atom turns itself on accasionally for no reason. No incoming call or SMS, no alarm set, no USB or bluetooth connection, etc. It just turns on and sits there. Any ideas anyone?

Also - another poster advised removing items from start-up. How do you do this? Does it require a registry edit?

thanks,

depressed_atom_user
[General Topics] monkeyphonix:
No registry edit to take items out of startup, done it on both 2003Se and WM5.

Screenshots & FAQs

Screenshots:

Warning: Extra Large Images !

FAQs:

1) Where is the app switcher gone?

A: Double tap the home button for recent apps.

2) Why doesn't long pressing the home button show recent apps?

A: Answer given in (1).

3) Where is multiwindow?

A: Still undergoing development at omni. May be added in Alpha 1, if stable.

Update: Yep, made its way into Alpha1 alright!

4) How do I use multiwindow/split view?

A: Open two apps (pretty obvious), Double tap home button. Long press the app that isn't currently in foreground, Click 'Add to split view' .

Note: Don't bother to do any typing in the second window, your keyboard will overlap the window.

Solution: Use Minuum Keyboard , as it's pretty darn small.

5) When is a kitkat build coming?

A: When it's stable enough to boot on nozomi.

I uploaded the kitkat pre-alpha instead of jellybean alpha 0. It'll have its own thread when ready.

6) When is release n?

A: Read the xda rules, then decide whether you want to ask this out loud or not..

Thank you for you work. Will try soon and report :)..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Why does the title says it's alpha1 but download links are for alpha0?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
It has been fixed now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
Happy to see new dev and new roms for our lovely device :D

will try it soon :D

Is it possible to post screenshots? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Screenshots are posted through DevDB.

Click 'Screenshots' on that black bar just above the OP..

Edit: Screenshots added to post as well, for those who use tapatalk :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You added screenshots to one of your posts so it's kind of a moot point now, but I just wanted to point out that the DevDB options aren't supported by Tapatalk. Lots of people use that to quickly check XDA, so it's understandable if they can't find screenshots or a download link (but as I said, the way you implemented it now with the spoiler button is perfect).

Anyway I'm really curious about Omni, I'll probably use this instead of CM. Some of the Omni devs used to dev for my previous device (ZTE Skate, tilal6991 used to develop for that, and Konstat did the Blade) and it's nice to be able to use some of their work again :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] entermetallica:
Can't view it via Tapatalk. Thanks anyway.

Is this cwm flashable zip or still using fastboot?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
As of alpha 1, flashable zips will be provided :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Can't you try it yourself and report a bug if they don't work?

It's in early Alpha stages, don't expect me to know everything that works and doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
CWM flashable it is..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
I can only test this if it is flashable zip, as i mentioned earlier on opensemc thread i have problem installing my fastboot driver, my phone simply won't stick on fastboot mode.

Anyway, thanks a lot for bringing this to our phone, CM is good but not as good when it comes to customization.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
It is a CWM flashable zip

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] piponxs:
So is this flashable or fastbootable zilp :-p ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
The one in the OP (Alpha 1) is a recovery flashable zip.

Use CWM or TWRP. (TWRP preferred)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Unfortunately it's not booting after reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Which version ?

Alpha 0 was confirmed not working.

Alpha 1 should work, tested it myself a couple of times.

What colour is the LED when the OpenSEMC logo comes up(before recovery)?

If purple, you've tried alpha0 , broken build. Alpha 1 is confirmed working by 2 of my testers & I verified it myself first
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Yeah alpha 1 is fully functional.

Its smooth and quite stable.

A good ROM indeed. Great work by the developer.

Please don't post that's its not working or boot without trying couple of good fresh installation.

The developer is not that stupid to post a ROM which doesn't boots.

PS : There are some problems with the multi window like lagging,some display bugs. But I know it will be fixed by the developer in the future as the ROM is still in alpha stage.

Having high hopes for the ROM and once again a great work by the developer. Thanks You.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
On the boot logo led is blue. I did a clean install (wiped data, cache, system) and flashed gapps right after ROM. After I can passed first configuration of system I tried to reboot. But then I stuck on boot logo for about 15min.

Edit: tried it again and result is the same :-\ guess I'll wait for any stable 4.4 for nozomi. I have no luck with 4.3, I remember that I had the same issue with PAC 4.3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Flash the ROM first let the device boot and settle a bit.

Then after sometime reboot into recovery and then flash the gapps.

It is recommended not to flash the ROM and the gapps together to avoid conflict.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Yes, second time I tried to install I didn't flash gapps, only ROM. And result was the same - opensemc logo with blue led, then led goes off and nothing happens.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Can you verify the MD5 of the zip you have?

So far, you seem to be the only one with problems flashing Alpha 1
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Yes, it's the same :/ I don't really know what could be the reason but after first boot it works really nice.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YYvo:
The same is happening here also. It is the same issue that me and others reported in OpenSEMC rom. Clean flash. After reboot it gets stuck at logo. There was a workaround which included backing up system and data and then restoring them but that didnt resolve it in my case. Rom wise, beautiful. No other issues then one's mentioned. Kudos for the hard work!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
I got stucked at second boot on opensemc as well, just leave it alone and it will eventually boot, no need for back up and restore :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
How long did you have to wait?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Not really sure, someone told me to wait so i just leave it on charger in my room, it already booted when i got back, pretty sure its more than 5min though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Awww yisssss, it lasted about 20 minutes but it finally booted up! Third, fourth reboot are fine (I can see bootanimation after bootlogo and device boots in less then minute). Flashing gapps, and restoring apps, will report later :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Yup, all other boot after the second one will be just fine, if u can get pass the second one :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elkadeho:
same here. Got stuck at bootlogo (green face). But like fifth time it worked :) will report more after some trying!

edit 1: it worked after i cleared data (just tried to restore data => stuck at bootlogo, so it seems its related to data

edit 2: worked fine, but noticed that settings=>buttons is a dead end (empty link) and so…back to cm :) but looks nice and i ll try next build!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Does this rom have built in navbar setting? Or i have to enable it with other method?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
Nope the ROM doesn't have it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Sad case then...really prefer navbar than the capacitive button...

Great greek any plan on adding it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
*Geek , not greek :P

I'll be adding it in at a beta stage, which is pretty far off.

Submit a feature request, so I always know what to do when I'm bored ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Yup, it is a dead link cause that was half-baked at omni.

Only 2/3 is in their main source trees, which are not updated anymore (the 4.3 version)

I'll be moving on to kitkat when time permits, as those are more 'complete' sources
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Oops sorry, really thought it was greek XD

Thanks for the reply, doesn't matter how long, as long as it is coming :)

And just to keep you busy when you're too bored, navbar options in SlimRom is what i would like to have, maybe you can look into their source or something like that (I'm not a developer so no idea if you can get something from there) :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
Like what games? I want to try it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Ok so im back with my navbar question :p

Since it is not included in the ROM yet, i used the opensemc app to enable the navbar, however that also activated the pull up ring to launch google now, which i hate it. Does anyone know any method to disable the ring?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
Nah, I don't think you can disable that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
So far my main reasons I went back to cm 10.1:

No profiles (it's omni or just your build?)

No button remapping settings :( (if you willing to add it, please remember about menu overflow enable check box)

They may be basic, but I really need them so, yeah can't use it :) I remapped my buttons to:

Menu as recent apps, long click for menu; long click on home opens Google now. So more like stock Google.

Anyway, keep up good work, help rayman with kitkat :D it seems promising, then 4.4 omni.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
U cannot disable the ring but can disable google now from popping up from the ring.

Try google now disabler/no assistant by Free wing from the store.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
There is a setting for that in SlimBean. And i disabled it in OpenSEMC as well, but i forgot how i did that in opensemc, i think the setting appeared after i enabled the navbar, but not too sure about it. Anyway thanks for the answer.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

Forget about navbar first, i have another serious problem, my phone won't charge. I put it on charger last night before i went to sleep and i made sure that it shows as charging, but when i woke up the phone has pnly 5% of battery left. So i tried charging it again and at first it does show as charging, but after a shortwhile it refuse to charge.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Arabaldo:
Hi!

Disable usb debugging under developer options
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Reboot to see your fully charged battery.

Keep developer settings on + adb on, or disable developer settings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Thanks for the reply, trying it now, previously using offline charging to charge lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:

Nah didn't play much but i saw that when i tried to set custom LED for Hangout, its a bug, a funny one :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
One more thing, the calculator seems unfinished as well, i can't find a way to access history, and there is no setting.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
Incomplete
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
No it's the stock AOSP calculator which is supposed to be that way. The CM calculator has all those extra features. I can give it to you if you want it so badly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
If anyone needs this.

Download the CM calculator from the store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android2.calculator3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Nope, i just thought it was incomplete cause i cant access the history but there is an option to clear history. Anyway thanks for the offer :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
I noticed a few issues/bugs(?)

When i connect the phone to charger it vibrate two times, can't remember if it does that at the beginning.

My phone is unable to detect other phone's bluetooth, i have to pair first only then it will show the phone at the list.

The screen flickers sometimes, i think this happen recently as well.

I know this ROM is still in alpha so i'm not complaining, just want to list it out :)

Any word on the progress for omni4.4? I know i can read the github for this but github is a bit too confusing to me to read.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
Last time I talked to him on this topic, he said that it is coming soon enough. I can't guarantee though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
A lot has changed since then...

My laptop crashed HARD. BIOS is messed up beyond repair.

Haven't really done any coding since I released this here..

I guess I'm just stuck until lenovo decides to send a BIOS firmware image my way.

RaymanFX is doing some awesome work with cm11, you guys should probably give that a shot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Sorry to hear that, hope your laptop gets fixed soon.

Yes i'm already with rayman's cm11, but i am still anticipating for omni, since i felt that omni is somehow smoother than cm on 4.3.

Anyway take your time bro, its probably better as google is still pushing update to android (4.4.2), perhaps it won't be that much of problem when your laptop is fixed, and things will go smoothly :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NOWE:
Any prgress here?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Not really, 4.4 just wont boot no matter what I've tried (not much)

I'm busy with exams & looking for a good college to go to, so time is scarce.

Developing this makes no sense, as the 4.3 branches at omni are relatively stagnant.

I'll get back to omni once my finals are done in March, don't expect anything earlier.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Hmm sad to hear that, anyway good luck in your exam :)

Will be waiting for your comeback, i guess at that time both opensemc and omni will be much bugless.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Great_Geek:
Yeah, omni should be all caught up with the latest caf stuff that RaymanFX already has in our opensemc kernel

May port a ROM in Feb, if time permits, but I doubt it'd happen..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
Take your time bro, dont do it unless you really have the time to maintain it, or else you will be bug with all those bug reports and rants :)
