this is a known issue of the today screen

if you set up a new email account it will use that instead...

unfortunately if you are synced to an exchange i dnt know how to set that as your default ...

Well, my Ameo woke me up early this morning with the low battery warning, despite being fully charged when I went to bed.

I am running the HTC Home plugin, however I was also using that on the 1.0 ROM, and I had no battery problems with that one.

I'll see how long the battery lasts today, I've now run through 4 complete charge/discharge cycles since installing 2.0.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mr Lee:
I'm using this rom aswell. I'm running it on an Ameo and I have no issue with the battery. Yeah... it runs down faster than the original T-mobile rom, but watching video of the harddrive for an hour and continuous UMTS connection just costs me 10% of my battery.

Fingerpad - HELP!

I feel stupid for asking this but WHERE IS FINGERPAD?!?!?!

It's not in the addons, its not in the program files and I can't choose it in my input options menu.....

Have I done something wrong?

battery issue

on my part i started encountering this battery issue after i run the program RealVGA. just playing around with the settings cost me from 100% full charge went down to 80%. that is why i hard reset my x7500 and settled for the default resolution, still monitoring it though.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] copperwave:
Ditto here....default installs and copied over all add-ons - so far lots of advertising but not product....what gives?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Have been running my Ameo since about 7am (when it was fully charged, having fully discharged last night). Using RealVGA at 96dpi, Direct Push, screen set to lowest setting with backlight on and set to turn backlight off after 30s and turn unit off after 2mins.

It's now 11.23. Battery is down to 60%. Looks like it is not a "recalibration" issue!

Does it work with X7501?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] barneyrubble:
Have been running the V1 Rom for a while, and have now upgraded to the V2 Rom. It's an excellent and very fast Rom.

What I have also done is installed the Blackberry Connect V4 software on it. This works fine, but the only problem I have is when disconnecting from the Blackberry APN and trying to connect to the Internet APN, the whole device freezes. Anyone got any ideas as to hy this would be?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
Before someone else comes along and tears into you, I'll say it politely.

Go read the whole thread, that question has been asked and answered several times, the regulars here get very annoyed with answering the same questions time and time again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
I will suggest in the next release to remove HTC Xbutton (even the 2.0 release, found in Hermes area is a big application in terms of memory and resource usage) and substitute il with pBar.

Single tap for BT ON, OFF or Discoverable, Flight mode on off, wifi on/off, battery and resources info, taskman, favorites, customize time icon to have time/date or battery or memory in the start bar in any appz.

Small and fast. I've associated with commmanager button

drainage of battery

as posted by other users already the battery issue is slowly getting better had 3 drain & recharges b ut battery is well below normal I did flash with battery @ 100% so that may be a problem for some or maybe as I flashed @ 70% last time it couldn't work out the battery due to differences ??? I don't know itas getting better music over BT and webbrowsing on train journey 45 mins this morning now being 7 hours and on 40% this is not normal and again high battery temps in 90-110 degree C. only thing I noticed was my thumb was getting hot while on the bottom right hand of device as holding to type messages (just below the viewflow/opera/ie key) it is okay now but this morning noticabbly hot while the battery was cool could this be relevent or is it just crazy old me being a wimp in the cold???? it was warmer then rest of device is there any chips under this point maybe ATI due to dpi problems and some corruption of images others have mentioned I too have this I use vieka v-bar and the images are corrupt a pixilated garble like the snow effect if your v is not tuned in properly this has not being an issue on previous roms and had PK version 1.00 and the old WM5 & 6... just thought id mention these few things thanks guys.

the FIngerpad has replaced the screen keyboard at the bottom when u r on the internet it is basically a very BIG keyboard to allow easy

finger typing on screen
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eagle 1:
The new keyboard can be chosen from the normal/input selection location (usually in bottom middle of the screen or bottom right of screen)

The new keyboard offers approx 5 different choices

See attached examples..First two are new keyboard, third is normal one and fourth is resco keyboard pro..

sorry but I cannot find this options in my pda, only classic. did you install some specific cab?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
AGREE!!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
It automatically showed up when I installed 2.0. Very nice! (Although I still prefer the HW keyboard for most purposes)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I opted to put this in but when we tested it, it wouldn't run all the time and caused some weird issues so we opted to remove it. I want it and haven't had time to test it further on my device.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Fingertouch should have been on the device by default.

If you don't see it on there...let me ask this...what wallpaper did you see once you flashed? This is important because while I was testing, ONE time the customizer failed to run because of something I did on my SD card and I didn't have Fingertouch, the theme, and a couple other customizations.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
The Fingertouch should be evident as soon as you flash. It's a beautiful keyboard. No advertising going on here, just the Athena Project as we mention all donations publicly, that's what gives.

Read my reply to leoni1980 and see if we can work together to figure out what's going on. Thanks in advance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Thank you for this info! We're waiting it out a couple more days before focussing on this issue. We are going to look at it though. Give us a little time. As you've seen from 1.0 and already in 2.0, we try to respond to every post and address every issue. :-)

Lets give the battery issue a little more time to see how it works out. Some users have reported that the problem resolved itself like we anticipated and others are still having the issue.

Thanks for your patience with us and feedback!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Thanks for this. Great help!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Please read my reply to leoni1980 and thank you.

Per our agreement with Teksoft, this cannot be released as an addon or by itself. It is cooked into the ROM. If you don't see it, the same thing may have happened to you that happened to me once when I was testing. Read my post to leoni1980 and see what you find.

Thanks again! :-D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:

Re: You're welcome to do better...if you have the time

Certainly not you.:) This has all been produced absolutely free of charge to the community with donations taken to raise money for the developers...that's all.

Have you contributed financially? or perhaps here in the forum somehow?

What gives??!!?? Everyone but you it seems! Joined July 2007 and expecting something from the community? Never expect from anyone who freely gives.;)

We've worked very hard to give the rest of our fellow members and Athena owners something that wasn't happening before.

With the support from the community and dedicated hard work from the Athena Project Team members, we have delivered what we set out to....free Unlocking tool via Olipro and 1 cooked ROM [you actually ended up with 3!].

So if you would like us to continue giving up 40 odd hours a week and more for you, so you can just lie back and wait for the goods, at least have the decency to be at least respectful, else do the job better yourself.

Have a nice day.:)

im on an AMEO my battery drain seems to be directly related to going online (HSDPA) when im not online it doesn't drain much.

must be the 1.50 radio.

its well quick though :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] copperwave:
From memory, I reflashed (no errors reported)

The boot splash screen showed / shows the angled v2 Rom home screen and the Fingersoft url and the DPI mode being used.

The wall-paper was the branded X-Black one. I manually ran the un-brander from the add-ons rar.

HTH
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Was your wallpaper the black with the little green splash? Also when you go into the input options/chooser, do you see something that says "Teksoft FingerTouch"?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] copperwave:
If you mean green "smoke" - yes

No to input options.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
Mackaby007, you are a gentleman indeed. What a polite response to such an impertinent message by Mr. Copperwave. Those of us who have contributed (including myself) have done so to support the good work that is being done. I count it a bargain for what I have received to date. And I don't even mind the freeloaders who choose not to contribute. But then for a freeloader to complain? My oh my. That does rankle just a little. "Give me something for nothing AND HURRY UP ABOUT IT!" Hmm.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jmdrizen:
Have you allowed the device to totally drain, to the extent where it is power dead, or have you charged it up at minimum??

Other posts have suggested that it needs to be totally dead, and charged up fully. Tried leaving it off, charging it till the power goes "Green" then turning it on and trying???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
This is most likely to the customizer not finishing. We'll try to look at this tonight if Mackaby007 approves and get back to you. He is the founder of the project after all. ;-)

Just a Thought....

While I can appreciate the irritation that X7500 users have about us X7501 users asking questions about whether this works on the X7501, I do think that it would make things much clear if a few things were done that would avoid these questions coming up again and again.

For example:

1. Title of Thread

If the title of the thread included the words 'For the X7500 Only' in it this would make it clear from the getgo wouldn't it?

2. First Post in Thread

If the first post in threads like this noted what device this works on or what the status is on the X7501, this would clue us in right away and avoid some questions, right?

So, again, do appreciate how the X7500 users here feel about questions and I'm trying to do my homework before I ask questions, but I do think a few simple inclusions of info on the X7501 status in the right places would go a long ways in avoiding this kind of thing from happening.

Go easy on me please as I have contributed to the cause... ;)

Also, for the X7501 users out there, if you read the thread regarding using the unlocker app in the General forum section (I think), you'll see that there's a major problem (as in making your device a handsome paperweight...) if you try and use the current app. Olipro is trying to get into a X7501 remotely to determine what the differences between the X7500 and X7501 are such that it causes a problem using the unlocker app. Once he determines this, he hopefully will be able to fix the app to work on the X7501 and then we should be able to use the cooked ROM's....hopefully, I've reported this correctly...

One more thing, maybe a X7501 Cooked ROM thread in this section with status on this issue would head off these questions from the start as us X7501 users would have one place to look for info on this issue?

Just tryin' to be constructive and minimize X7500 user irritation level....

Well everything was going well last night, listened to music surffed the net. when I woke up this morning battery was down to 40% and my wifi problem was back, when turning off the power and then back on, it remained connected to my router. then today, I was trying to send an email to my boss, but everything kept on messing up, when I went to change somthing then pressing ok, messaging kept on shutting down. in the end I had enough of it and did a hard reset. now back in the house and everything seems to be in order this time.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
You bring up some interesting points which lead me to some ideas. I'm not going to say what now but I'm also reading between the lines here...even if that's not what you intended. Your feedback and point of view is appreciated. I think it just woke me up to something that I need to discuss with the core team. Thanks again!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I guess a soft reset didn't help so you were forced to do a hard reset?

I had a similar problem with an official WM5 release on my athena a while back. Man was it annoying. POutlook wasn't working, pulling anything down, sending, kept closing out, etc. I had to hard reset also and I've never had the problem since. Never found out what caused it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnwalk:
I suppose it could be like installing any operating system, sometimes you just get a bad install. Just format and start again.

On behalf of the core team, I want to extend a thank you to the "extended" team....YOU!

The user base for this forum has been great. You guys have pitched in to help by providing links to other software that we could possibly add, by answering repeat and NEW questions, by testing yourselves, by being patient with us, and on and on.

Pat yourselves on the back as our extended Athena Project team members. You guys have been an invaluable resource. Not only by providing the financial backing to get the developers their devices but also for supporting our founder Mackaby007 in achieving this tremendous goal. He kicked us off and everyone delivered! Thanks Mackaby007 for your vision and getting us all in line to make this happen! Thank you to the rest for your support of this project.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Yea, I guess. Or maybe through one of the numerous soft resets it became corrupt. Lets hope it doesn't happen again because I can't be without e-mail. Luckily I have all CABs for EVERY program I use on my SD card so I can hard reset in the field and get back to normal.

Quick bit of info on the batt drain.

UK T-mob Ameo, Installed a few of the addons including the touch today screen and had it drain real quick on first few charges. Changed the batti config to shutdown at 1% power and let it go all the way down till it flashes red and turns itself off. Took the batt out for a few moments and stuck it back in. Re-charged until it went green without turning the unit on. Got it back up and running and now its been on for the last 3 hours and still 100% battery. Bloody great :)

Peeps with similar setups might be worth trying that.

Ok, after using the pk2 ROM since day 1, the only problems I've come accross is that the Activesync connection seems to die at random times

and the Sync process is very slow. What used to sync in 10 seconds now takes 1-2 minutes. It also tends to die if I copy large or lots of files to the device (SD/MD) via the activesync explorer.

Let my X7500 Die completely (battery) did a full re-charge; with light use maybe 10m of calls with push email no internet I am down 20% on battery after 2 hours. If this keeps up I may flash Radio V1.48 I had good luck with that one.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:

Hi all

I know you have all been working really hard, but just wondered if there are any updates to the issue with media player now working in 128 DPI?

It's not a major problem as I can just switch back to 192DPI when I need to use it, but would be a bonus if I could use it without switching

Keep up the good work

(PS: HTC X7500 - No battery drain problems at all!!)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jmdrizen:
Try letting it drain to death, then full charge whilst still off and no use... If you're using it, and this is a battery capacity feature, you're not allowing it to do it's stuff... 1 day without won't do any harm :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
Note that Batti (installed in the ROM) turns off at 5%. That being said, I'm getting much better life today! After 9 hours I'm still at 50%. I even streamed some audio for 90 minutes. Yesterday I was dry (5%) in less time than this. I'm hoping this is a winner!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
dont remember exactly but i think it had to do with the program not working right in the different dpis.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
i see many battery issues go away and most point to just running the rom for a few days and really draining it or messing with realvga and htc home plugin. glad to see the onyl issues are battery and realvga related issues. all issues have been noted and will be looked into. please bare with me guys as my laptop is on the fritz since yesturday and is really angering me. today ill get to the games cab in a few. tonight ill probably have a chat with tobias and send him the issues list.

Have you let the library in media player update itself in 192dpi?

I think this is what's causing the problems, after several attempts to get the prog working in 128 I let it search and fill the library in 192, and now it works flawlessly in 128dpi.

Development needs a leader....already has one

Hi all. This is not so much a contribution from me, but an important announcement as far as the Athena Project is concerned.

What started as an idea and was put to my fellow members has resulted in a great team of like minded individuals who are trying and with a good deal of success are, with help from the community, taking the development of the Athena to higher grounds.

I'll make this short peeps hehe I always write essays LoL.

Anyway, I will stay involved in the project to help where I can with testing etc and ideas and so on, but the team needs a knowledgeable and strong leader to keep the development going.

I asked ltxda from the get go to help me coordinate this project, to which he agreed and I must say, if it were not for him primarily and of course boinger66, Olipro, PK and the new additions to the team i.e. Cmonex, Hirad and hdbueller and others from the community who constantly help, we would still be on stock WM6 ROMs. Midget unfortunately didn't fulfill his role as expected, but he did have unexpected problems that caused him to not have the time to develop to his best ability. We thank him nonetheless for all the contributions he has made.

Bottom line? ltxda is the best man to lead this project IMHO and has the full respect of each team member, especially mine. He has been the single greatest driving force of this project and continually strives for improvement and further development.

Believe me friends, with ltxda at the helm, this project will go to places no single other PPC device has gone to date. Why do I think so?

Because he actually cares about what the community wants and listens to what you have to say. I'm not going to sing his praises all day LoL, but he has steered the project thus far and is extremely resourceful and forward thinking...clever guy.

Thanks for your support and loyalty ltxda. I appreciate all you have done..you da man.

And thank you PK, for your dedication even before you knew you were getting an Athena...you deserve it bro.;) boinger66....you've been a part of this from day one and have been invaluable with your wealth of knowledge and support (given how busy you are) and sorry for anyone elae I may have missed.

Most important of all, are you guys and gals in the community or fellow owners simply visiting and supporting this venture. If it were not for you all, I think I would have got bored of my Athena as I see all this development for QVGA devices and nothing for us.:(

Now we're in the thick of it. Great!!

Gonna be tied up for a while, but will always be a involved and a part of this great community based project.

The biggest thanks to XDA Developers (I'll be contributing to you soon). Without your site....well need I say more? Thanks a million.
