Deepest Gratitudes

Thanks Mackaby007 for leading the charge thus far. I also agree that IT, PK and the rest of the AP Team have done a fine job thus far. Looking forward to the next several exciting months ahead, and whatever lies in store for v3.0 and beyond! No doubt we will pursue VGA further and get the best WM6 and the Athena has to offer.

Cheers to All!!

Indeed, many thanks to Mackaby007 and all involved. An excellent job all round.

I found a useful website - http://say.expressivo.com/jennifer/ - simple text to speech, and you can save an mp3 of your text.

I've attached a set of event notifications for use with Batti, you can assign them in Batti config.

Edit - OK, that seemed like a good idea, but I can't get Batti config to 'see' the files, either as mp3s or wma files. Anyone know where the files should be placed to get Batti to see them?

Theme switching solution!

Better than Shantz or anything else so far for WM6 & it works beautifully on my x7501 using Activesync 4.5.

Themesync adds a conduit to Activesync. You just configure the directory on your PC containing the themes & voila everytime you sync you get a new theme.

Problem with SafeMode

Have just tried to install Safemode demo (but forgot it had expired). Went to soft reset (to activate it) and Ameo hangs on the splashscreen.

It worked previously on WM6. I am going to hard reset but don't intend to test it again! Just thought I'd warn others.

TCPMP Installation Path

I have installed the TCPMP player part of the addon package.

Now I'm searching the installation path but couldn't find it.

How is it possible???

Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] danielherrero:
The easiest way is using Resco Explorer or similar. Then "Open With" over a mp3 file, select HTC Audio manager y check "Open always".... (las you do in Windows XP/Vista)

I ve hard resetted (after backup). Then, in 192dpi I ve opened Windows Media player several times. Then switched to 96dpi, opened WMP and hanged again....So I ve restored my backup and, by now, I wont use WMP.

TOMTOM

Many thanks for looking into this. Just for info I did some flashing myself and found that ROM 2.21.405.2 gives me the same device id as I had in WM5, but both AP2.0 and 2.20.405.1 give me a different device id. I don't know if this helps?

Currently I'm using 2.21.405.2 but would love to use AP2.0

general, battery, Kaiser home, pRSS

Hi there,

First of all a great thanks to all involved, great job!!

I have done a fresh install with all the add ons and experienced the battery drainage issue. I had the battery go empty and completely recharged again (twice or three times) but to no avail...

As many of you thought the battery issue might come from the Kaiser Home I did a fresh install (with battery at 100%) [hard reset] without installing the Kaiser home or the fixed Com Manager.

Everything works fine now, no issues with the battery!!

Only one minor issue is that pRSS Reader does not seem to install in my Today Screen. Anyone else had this?

Cheers, and thanks again for all good efforts!!

Thanks a lot for your great work.

I've one Athena for 3 months and I had never instaled a cooked ROM.

I've the official WM6 Rom instaled already and the phone is not locked to any phone provider, is free.

Who can, please, tell me what I've to do to instal the new AP Black Touch v.2 ROM?

I know the risks but I want to assume them having in mind the complete and best information to go on with de instalation.

Thank you in advance

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I run pRSS and found that the Today plug is buggy and causes instability in any ROM. Just a heads up. If it doesn't activate for you try uninstalling and reinstalling pRSS. This worked for me one time when i had the same issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I've flashed 5 times since the release of 2.0 and always run Safemode on my device. I haven't experience any issues. When the device hangs you can sometimes pull out the battery, making sure it's not plugged in to anything, then put the battery back in and power it up. This sometimes fixes this issue you're having.

Let us know how it turns out.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
If you have an x7500 then you need to use Olipro's unlocker, AT YOUR OWN RISK, to fully unlock your phone. If this works all well, then you will be able to install any ROM you wish from any provider and any version. We put a little teeny tiny outline on the first post with the basic steps. From this outline we're hoping to provide just a basic approach so you guys can become familiar with the forum and find the info. When you get stuck or have questions in regards to what you read, we'll be here to help nudge you along. Happy reading!

You might be better using the search, this does exist, as I saw this on my MDA Pro ages ago...

Might be better starting a thread if you can't find anything rather than in here, as this is just regarding PK's ROM, and is an Athena thread, not a general PPC one...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
if its a x7501 (and sometimes even if a 7500), there is a big risk, please wait until the unlocker software is developed further. (there is a way to guess if your device is compatible with the current version or not, though.)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Midget_1990:
As PK quoted from me earlier, its a "feature" in wm6 that the power service 'learns' how much charge the battery has in the first run-down, the reason your battery drains quicker is 1) it runs it down on purpose to calibrate itself and 2) as it isnt calibrated the readings are inaccurate.

hope that was some help :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Dear Mr Gates

Might I just suggest that this feature of WM6 is absolutely, completely and utterly crap! Why on earth would you willingly choose to sacrifice battery life on a mobile device. It's about as sensible as rollerblading naked in the winter. [don't ask me where that came from - it's been a long day:D ]
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jmdrizen:
I don't understand what you are saying here... no-one is saying that anyone would "willingly choose to sacrifice battery life" what the feature is intended to do is to calibrate and ensure that the OS recognises the battery more efficiently... Atleast that's my understanding.... ???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] hdbueller:
......and you would be correct! It works in much the same way as when you buy a new laptop battery. You have to tell it to recalibrate manually on the laptop, tho! Ours takes the thinking out of it and assures an accurate recal of the battery. (Now,tell the truth! How many of you knew you needed to do that on a laptop?LOL)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] bobflood:
Gentlemen,

I hesitate to question folk with detailed technical knowledge (that I don't have) of the Athena, but ....

Since upgrading to 2.0 I too have experienced severe battery drain - my device has run itself almost flat two nights running following the upgrade.

So yesterday morning, after reading the recalibration posts, I let the device run itself completely flat (didn't take long) and fully recharged before further use - it took all day to re-charge (vastly longer than ever before) but still the unit showed significant discharge overnight - a stock 2.0 installation with batti and HTC home plug-in disabled.

If this recalibration is a 'feature' of WM6 then why ...

1. did we not see it when we first upgraded to WM6 (HTC) ?

2. did we not see it when we upgraded to Touch 1.0 ?

Some strong words have been used in connection with the above quote - I don't wish to go down that route, but merely to say I'm not convinced.

To add pain to this topic .... since upgrading to 2.0 I've seen numerous 'hesitations' where the unit did not respond for several seconds and also had 4-5 complete lock-ups where I had to re-set the device !!!

I came home this even with the full intention of re-flashing - after reading several posts of folk who say the recalibration has worked for them I'm tempted to try a hard reset and give 2.0 another shot.

All credit to those dev's who created both 1.0 and 2.0, but the last few days under 2.0 have been a total pain, whereas the preceeding week(s) under 1.0 were a delight.

Sorry, but to my mind, 2.0 is nowhere near as stable / useable as 1.0 !

Bob.

battery problems as well now?

great rom.:D but as before battery was okay but since yesterday battery been draining rapidly. I,m not sure what causing it but I havent been using gps, so that rules that out.

Hope this problems get rectified as i believe this is one of the best roms so far for the athena.;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
well heres a little info coming straight from the creators mouth. this rom has not much change from 1.0 I cooked into it realvga and the keyboard and fixed all the bugs we could find. i have no clue why u are experiencing these problems when almost everyone after a few days of use have found now the battery to be like 1.0, the rom to be just as stable, and very little bugs. maybe ur device just has went off the deap end. it happens that after a while your device will just become unstable and it needs a warranty. try flashing back to 1.0 or something else and see if these problems persist. if u want my msn is ceo@wa-va.com if u want some one on one support for ur battery issues. Yes everyone im willing to go as far as giving u one on one support if u have a issue as big as this just to make u happy. :)

EDIT: forgot to mention try a clean install without anything installed and stock dpi. let the battery fully drain and see what happens then.

Rebooted and it won't - I get the red writing then all goes black, don't get as far as the splash screen and no light on even when plugged into mains... doesn't look good!

hopefully just a temporary hitch....

Taken memory card out and still no sign of life - I installed most to card except today plugins. Have I installed something to the card that needs to be in main memory?

I appear to have bricked my device and might need to reflash if no one can help.

PS with regards to the battey issue, it is worth noting that by default Batti shuts the device down @ 5%, it pops a little message up saying "battery is low device will be shutdown in 30 secs [YES] [ NO]" in my opinion it would be worth disabling this feature of batti and letting your device truly run flat before charging, PS even after you phone has "switched off" try tapping the power button again to turn it back on as mine "especially when using tomtom" tends to turn the screen off when the battery is ultra low but is still on and working"

since no is saying this, i think, then im going to. whether you use the official rom or midget's rom or pk's rom the fact is its going to be different for everyone, for example i had no problem with battery drain or WMP with pk v2 rom. that being said there were some things that i did not personally like about the rom but it seemed stable to me. which is why i say i think that if you r unhappy with pk's rom(this goes for every one) the get the official rom from htc. and customize it anyway you want. all the programs thats in pk's rom are free. I would just like to say that i appreciate all the work that has been done. so for that i say thanks to the dev team.
