Try this...

After installing the CAB, change DPI's to 192 then back to 128 or whatever your preference is...then see if Windows Media works for you. Let us know.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PDAMerlin:
Hi. Nope, just tried that and nothing. It just does exactly the same...I am now about to try reinstalling the fix while in 128DPI adn see what happens

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PDAMerlin:
PARTIAL SUCCESS!!! WMP WORKS - ONCE!

Okay, I just changed to 128DPI and then re-installed the patch - WMP works until I soft reset or change to 192DPI and back again...(Yes, I did give it time between install and reset to save the changed)

Is that by design of the cab or the same problem!

Update: i've got some more bandwidth so the links should work now!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JonSlater:
All sorted for me

The suggestion to turn the library off in 192dpi did the trick. I'm now able to use WMP - which is great as I've not found another player yet that reliably accepts AVRCP. If there is one, I'd like to know as I could do with another player - I listen to two types of playlist, music that I want to shuffle, and audiobooks that I obviously don't.

As everything is now working, and I've finally been paid, I've contributed to the project fund finally. Here's hoping it won't be long before Pawel can enjoy the fruits of his, and everyone's, hard labours.

PS I've not had a problem with battery draining quickly on my black X7500, but I put the battery checker on anyway. While plugged in to my PC, it was reporting a drain of 344mA. That may explain why it takes FOREVER to charge that way. I was out all day, listening to WMP via BT, and my battery was down to 20% when I got in. I'd been out several hours so I expected that. Since then it's been sitting in it's cradle for about 6 hours, and battery now reads 30%. I'll put it on it's proper wallcharger overnight.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
u can still try the batter cab. its just power manangement settings. it can improve your battery or have no change. its worth a try even if battery is ok as it can make it even better.

One quick question... does this have RealVGA 1.0, or 1.1 which was released on 14/Sep ??

Cheers!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
1.1

but now I have to lengthen this message or I will not be allowed to post it !!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
OK well the reults are in for my power usage with

1) a 60% 3G signal

2) BT & WiFi turned off

3) Screen at minimum brightness

4) tomtom + most of the addons installed including the home screen plugin

76 mAh with the occasional bursts upto 100 ~130 ish

I altered the setings in battery status to update the figures every 1 second !!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
Um, then your not looking hard enough.. Coreplayer supports AVRCP just fine.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] spzero:
okay not sure what figures you wanted i assume the mA figures well first BT &wifi on screen on full brightness peak @ 612 avg 410.. with music playing thru htc home (audio manager) avg 746 peak 845 when connecting to 3g peaked @ 959... turned backlight down to 1st notch and wifi off which is usuall settings @ idle avg 173 peaked @ 312 playing music peaked @ 416 with 3g peaked @ 853 avg 600. hope these figures help.....

turned on bluetoothand its killing the battery ,I have installed the cab.

5 hours 1 brief chat no surfing down to 50%.

must b the 1.50 radio cos otherwise seems great
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JonSlater:
I tried Coreplayer 1.0 (I think) with WM5 and it didn't work. However, between my posting earlier and your reply I decided to give 1.1.1 a go with WM6, and it's working a treat. It will now become my main music player.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JonSlater:
Battery test cab had no effect. Well, maybe 6-10mA difference, it's hard to be that precise.

I've just noticed that Battery Status reports +341mA when in the cradle (not the official HTC one, a cheaper alternative) that's got a mains supply and is connected to a powered USB hub, +271mA when connected directly to the wallcharger and 179mA when on its own, 94mA when the screen dims.

Am I right in thinking then that the "+" denotes it's getting more current than it's using (ie it's charging)? If so, that suggests the cradle is actually supplying more current than the charger, but the charger is quicker. Odd.

I'm turning battery status off now, as it's just crashed my X7500.

I have been experiencing FAST battery drainage after installing this ROM to my Athena. Battery was full before I go to sleep and empty the next morning!!!

is there anything I can do to stop this?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Mahmood:
try the CAB file for battery problems. and if it doesnot help to anyone then install another radio version then 1.50 install 1.47 or 1.45 and it will then solve the problem. the difference between radio version 1.47 and 1.45 is that 1.45 gives better GSM signal and 1.47 gives a better 3G signal. any way here are the download links:

Radio version 1.45:

http://rapidshare.com/files/57601715/Radio_version_1.45.00.00.rar

Radio version 1.47:

http://rapidshare.com/files/57601585/Radio_version_1.47.51.00.rar

it will only change the radio version and the battery problem will disappear and you will get a normal functional battery.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] david beckham:

Just to let you know i flashed 1.47 and it also hard reset my device.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
Yikes! Is that a common problem? I was thinking of going back to an earlier radio to see what would happen.

Another question: Is 1.5 available separately if I want to go back?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
Yes, its not a "Problem", more expected behavior.

Radio 1.50 is avail seperatly. have a search.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marka2k:
So far upgrading or downgrading radio versions DOES hard reset the device. Use the backup software included in the ROM and restore when finished.

Yes radio version 1.5 is available seperately if you wish to go back to it there is another thread with a link.

on topic...

Guys the topic keeps straying. Let's keep it on topic so we can focus on resolving Athena Project 2.0 ROM related issues. Just because you installed this ROM doesn't mean you should post questions that are related to applications you've installed or asking how-to do something here.

I'm also noticing repeat questions. People, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read before you start getting flammed. If you don't read it really makes you look careless or a little less intelligent than the average bear. I'm sure no one wants that.

WMP issue...

Hi all

i've hard reset my device (again!) and installed the WMP VGA fix cab. If I change to 128DP and then instsall the fix it now works fine, but if I change to 192DPI or 92DPI and back again it stops working and I need to re-install the WMP VGA fix.

Is this the same for others using the WMP FIX cab, or is there a way to have media player working in both 128 and 192 DPI without having to keep installing the fix.

Whatever you do, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE. Eventually the resulting feedback loop leads you to have to take very drastic action - not a hard reset but serious_overdraft.cab. You have been warned.

Not sure if someone else quoted you but I can not get Mobile Shell to work in 128dpi. Once the phone comes on it just hangs. I have to perform a hard reset to get out of it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mackaby007:
Stick to what works for you....

Guys...I have to make this very clear for those of you that don't seem to understand this RealVGA stuff.

RealVGA by Tobias or TrueVGA by another developer etc is not part of any Windows Mobile OS and therefore most applications (OS based or 3rd party apps) will NOT work 100% in RealVGA!

The OS's native dpi is 192dpi and so are all the programs written for it. RealVGA was requested by the community and here it is, but it will be some time, if ever, before it will be native to the WM OS and only then will apps be written specifically with that dpi in mind.

Meanwhile RealVGA is for those who want more screen real estate and don't mind being a part of the continuing development of RealVGA and other variants of it. If you want 100% compatibility with your apps, I suggest you stick to 192dpi...then apps like Mobile Shell will work as programmed. FYI, WA3 won't load under lower dpi's either, only in 192.

P.S. The ROM is perfectly capable of handling all of Spb's products in the intended dpi. Its the RealVGA that is not compatible with the different apps, NOT the ROM. RealVGA is just a feature for those who want it....just like HTC Home plug-in & Customizer.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] boinger66:

as far i am concerned, with the imei-check unlock method, this rom cannot be upgraded to the x7500, i had the same problem as you

to my knowledge, imei check temporarilly unlocks the phone so to be upgraded, which means that is has to be run every time before an upgrade (i could be wrong here, someone please correct me)

if you read carefully, this rom needs the device to be unlocked by olipro software only. (hope i am not mistaken)

i did it and worked fine.

when unlocking there is always the risk of killing the device and this is the responsibility each of us take.

personally, i have never bricked a device and i have done a good number of unlocks and rom upgrades, always followed the instructions word by word from the (in my opinion) genious people in here.

however, the risk is always there as i said and there is no one to blame apart from ourselves.

finally, if you have your doughbts, do not touch

Just a minor point, but WA3 works in all resolutions. There are no themes or icons available for 128dpi, but if you create some custom buttons it will work. I'm using WA3 at 128dpi... it just takes a little work to customize it.

Here's a quote from Chris McKay found in his support forum:

"WA2 does not support 128dpi. However, WA3 will, if you have a theme designed for it. I don't have a 128dpi default theme, yet. Those resolutions are still pretty new and I haven't had a chance to create the appropriate icons."
