Sorry because this looks an stupid question. In order to use the nice screen you indicated in the previous thread, with menus on the today screen, large clock, etc, what is needed to do? Do we have to download some piece of software from Fingertouch?

Here's an early screen shot

Edited .tsk to add green lines and boosted the vividness and intensity of the PK Home Screeen image. Customized clock and icons with HTC Home Customizer. Big thanks to PK and the AP Team.

Okay, I just did a hard reset installed a few of the addons (HTC-home, Acrobat, PK task manager, Opera, TCPMP), switch RealVGA 96, reboot, and try WMP and it hung. Switch back to 192 and WMP is working. Hopefully this will help, now I have to reinstall my apps.

I managed to brick my device :( im not to bothered as I can get into the bootloader, will reflash shortly !! the only things installed are pretty much all the add ons from PK addons 2.0 tomtom navigator and MS voice command 1.6 for WM6 !!! I already tried win media player earlier in the day and it crashed it, thought nothing of it and rebooted (HTC media player works fine) after reading somone else's post a few mins ago (win media locked up my machine) I tried again !! once again it locked my machine up (same as last time the words "windows media" replace the "start" link, and then nothing happens !!

PS im at 96Dpi, after soft reseting it has locked on the HTC devs screen !!! tried soft reset several times now !!

to everyone with media player issues. ill have mack on it in a sec. looks like media player doesnt like the dpis. will have to get creator or realvga in this then too. to everyone the 6 tab plugin is in the addons its named HTC Home Extra.NewForce and there also a customizer for it named HTC Home Customizer.0.8b.NewForce
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
the htc home aka kaiser 6 tab plugin works best in 96dpi. thats because of the way the dlls are made. any higher dpi and it will have the text squished/cut off. we are trying to work on this but looks like we need original source code from the dlls from htc.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
for all those with media player problems. for now use audio mananger and tcpmp. the problems we cannot replicate yet. ltxda has tried all dpis and it works no problem. maybe its a problem with one of the apps installed. everyone with problems with media player please post what apps u have installed.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:

Re:Official AP Black Touch Kaiser Interface Theme

Hi all.

Sorry too tired to comment right now, but here are is alink to the items you need to get the nice Today screen with the 6 tab plug-in. I designed the MackDaddy theme only for those who like a minimalistic look and who are in a way, trying to replace Spb Shell, Phonesuite and various Icon plug-ins.

It runs and displays best in 96dpi. The theme works in any dpi whether landscape or portrait, but the 6 tab plug-in display best at 96dpi.

The customizer is a fantastic part of the app and allows for many configurable options. I use the Shaps New Colour for icons. That's it. Hope you like it and enjoy the ROM.

I use no other plug-ins and thus have encountered no issues with any software throughout my testing of the ROM all week. Additionally, through the HTC Customizer, I select the HTC Audio manager as my default Media Player...works flawlessly and again displays perfectly in 96dpi only....fonts get cut off at higher dpi settings.

Make TCPMP a shortcut in your launcher and all your media is setup simply with ease of functionality.

Here's the link to what you should already have access to in previous posts.

Thanks to all team members for a great ROM especially ltxda and PK and to the community for your support.

PK,

I have the Addons rar. I don't see anything like it? Can you be more specific as to where/what it is I should be looking for? Thanks, and thanks again for the great work. I hope the collection for your Athena tops up quickly.

(Never Mind, it's in the post above)

Suggestion for Windows Media Player issues

I'm not running this ROM because I have X7501, but I think this Windows Media Player hang at 128dpi has been discussed in the RealVGA thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327830&page=6".

Here's the advice from "Mahmood" which worked for me:

"windows media works. Choose the normal VGA (192) and then restart and then open windows media player and then play a playlist. after that go and change the resolution again to 128 and restart and then open windows media player and it will work."

Hope this helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jab:
maybe my errors reside between the keyboard and the chair, but here is what I am seeing 7500 purchased. hardreset from pk 1 with bootloader.

only have the base 2.0 rom and the included add-ins.

wmp does not work for me in any dpi. htc audio manager when searching has an odd background that, well the best way to describe it is similar to many colours of really small confettii or when the cable is unplugged from the tv.

Can't get shantz to work, but I have never used it and have not played with it in the past.

also, I downloaded this with a battery at 100% unplugged it to run some errands and read every post on this thread. I am now at 15% battery. I believe I finished the install around 7:30 central usa. so only about 3.5 hours.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mackaby007:
Thanks for that SteveD01.

Can all who are having issues with Windows media player at 128dpi please use the above suggestion and let us know if that solve it for you or not. Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mackaby007:
Thanks for bringing this to our attention jab. We'll look into it asap. If anyone else has experienced any huge battery drains since flashing to 2.0 please let us know. Thanks.

Incidentally, my device was charged at 100% when I disconnected it from the mains around 7 hours ago and I have checked a few e-mails and surfed here through the thread and have had bluetooth on all day...I still have 70% left.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
no battery drain here, just that lock up i mentioned !! TBH nothing in the s/ware should be able to eat that much current that quickly, I would be concerned about a hardware fault ! I would imagine the device was unusaly warm during the time of discharge !!

that 10 button comm manager is weird !! before my reflash (fully laden rom with almost all addons plus tomtom + MS voice commander) it would not install !! something to do with incorrect signing, but now I have reflashed nothing installed (not even addons) apart from Vj candella and ms voice commander it installed fine !!!

it is also worth noting that after a while of using WMstorage on my previous install it stopped working, I kept getting error 1f even after a soft reset (and no, I had no other apps accessing the microdrive)

im goting to laden this up and see how it goes !!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jab:
I didn't notice any heat either while charging or during usage.

I was using the mugen battery sold by lion. I just switched the to the stock battery. will not be ableto spend as much time on the device today as I have two soccer games and a college football game to attend.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Fingertouch is the new standard keyboard we cooked into the ROM. The version provided by Teksoft supports all resolutions that we cooked in. You can use it in standard mode (aka 192dpi), 128 dpi, or 96 dpi and it works wonderfully. This is a commercial product that was exclusively licensed to the Athena Project by Teksoft as their donation to the project/community.

The clock in the today screen with the 6 tabs at the bottom are an addon in the addon archive provided by PK. Look for two files, one named "HTC Home Extra.NewForce.cab" for the Today plug that shows the time and 6 tabs...and the one named "HTC Home Customizer.0.8b.NewForce.cab" for the customizer utility that helps you reconfigure it. Enjoy!

VGA problem (Bug?)

Wireless Lan Display on Start>Settings>Connections does not appear to be compatible with the 96 DPI Font in Real VGA Mode. Screens are garbled with bad fonts. It's also not quite right at 128 DPI, with some font cropping evident. Looks fine at 192 DPI (normal) font.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I had the same problem right after flashing. Once battery charged up, took a long time, everything is back to normal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnwalk:
Yea you might be right. battery seems to be lasting a bit longer now its charged again. I will see what its like in the morning.

On another note, when connected to wifi, when you turn off the power, and then back on the conection status remains the same, like when power is off you are still connected to wifi. I wonder if this has anything to do with the power drain.

Okay just tested something else, in previous roms even original, the time I had read a web page or email then went to reply my wifi signal had dropped, and i had to either open com manager or power off and then on, to regain signal, even though it looked like it was connected, now this is no longer the case. SWEET.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Thanks for the info. I haven't installed Acrobat Reader yet but don't think that would cause a problem. I've installed over 50+ programs on my phone last night and today when I heard about this Media Player bug I tried it out. I haven't been able to make it hang at all. Give me more info so I can try to break it. What format are you opening? Or does it hang before you even try to open a file? Are you opening a file by double clicking it from Explorer or going to Media Player first and opening from there?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
The Comm Manager works but it looks its best under 96dpi. The other resolutions cut it off.

Windows Media issue

HI

I have reflashed my device, set ip up as normal but without installing anything (other than whatever it installs when it runs the "customising device" part of setup)

Before I run RealVGA, I have clicked "Start/Programs/Windows Media" and it loads up and works correctly.

I then exit from Windows Media and click "RealVGA" and select 128DPI, click ok and the device resets

When it has reset, I now click "Start/Programs/Windows Media" and the text "Start" next to the start button changes to "Windows Media" and then nothing else happens. The device is totally locked up. Soft reset to fix it.

Hope that helps a little...

Have been playing with the media player problem,

I think you need to let the programm fully update the library in 192 before switching.

It hung on my machine first time I used it in 128dpi, as the others reported. Dropped into 192 and it ran, switched back to 128 and it hung again.

sitched back to 192 and let it update the library fully as it came up with a "not properly synced last time message", switched back to 128 and it's working again..

Can someone else try this and see if it works for them?

OK, phone running all day, using google maps and GPS to navigate round london, watching progress on bus so screen on for some time while accessing the internet and battery still at 60% - that's good.

Tried VGA fix for WMP and it still hangs - it just does not start. At least I can reboot without it hanging now tho!

All i have installed is:

HTC Home as supplied

Tube London Pro

Google maps

RealVGA running at 128DPI English with Disable phone skins checked oon UK T-Mobile Ameo all 3 steps of Olipro's unlocker run.

I will avoid using WMP from now on as I believe that was what was causing my problems (and Spb breeze) so will now go ahead and install the rest of my junk and see how it goes.

Loving it apart from the major hangs!

Ups - Double post, sorry!

Cannot find a way to delete it completely.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] hmeyer:
Now it worked

Been away all day, but it is working now, here is what I did.

Ran (only) stage 1 of the unlocker, and after that I was able to flash this new ROM.

Even if I tried to be very precise during the unlocking process, something confusing occured - at some point you are suppossed to click yes in a box when your PDA stops responding, but this never occured, and to get on I had to press yes anyway, after that it went smoothly, and it reported back that SPL had flashed successfully. - So now I think (hope) I have an "unbrickable" PDA, which will flash any ROM in the future...

I only mention this incident, if others should find themselves in the same situation, it turned out not to be a problem at least in my case.

Many thanks to those that offered their help with this matter, and in particular to the developers of this fantastic ROM and among those I believe is also the creator of the unlocking tool.

To everyone using this ROM and RealVGA.

I was trying hard to figure out how to resolve the WMP issue so I install the 96 dpi package over the one that is cooked into the ROM. I tried WMP again but got the same result (hang). However, this time around I SR using the pin hold, my device did not come up. I try pulling out the battery and some other things, but no joy. Finally I had to HR my device to get it back.

Oh well another late night installing my apps again.
