hey posting from athena.

didnt show a shot of snapvue in the first post bc i dint get a chance at midnight to switch to another dpi and get the cab on device. its pretty much a htc home alternative for 128 and 192 dpi wit time, messaging statuses, weather, and shortcuts.

the wktask thing with those skins u ignore. i didnt use the skins in the rom bc it saves space plus the standard skin matches the tsk better

in the album screenie i whited out personal pics. ur pics will show up no problem

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
should be working. i have no way to test as i am in the usa :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
wm5torage is pretty much hit or miss lately. sometimes it'll work and sometimes it wont. the team though has found 1.78beta2 to be the best out of the bunch. if u dont like 1.78beta 2 u can find the exe for any old version and drop it into windows folder and all will be ok. enjoy

I have a strange phenomena, while I recive calls, I see only the top of the white window - You have a call, but I don't see the number or the name.

I didn't change the GUI - the default after ROM installation on X7500.

Any idea ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
are u using realvga? in realvga 96dpi when a call come in some of the bottom bubble is cut off. u would have to send this to the creator of realvga if this is the issue as all i did was cook in his app and add my own welcomeheads. do fix something if it aint broken ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sagytb:
Thanks for the quick respond.

No I am not using real VGA...

I am using the default view.

Sorry...:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
hmm try a soft reset or hard reset or reflash. if none of those help it ill get together with u on msn/aim to see how can we solve this problem. btw people like it was said before please report any and all bugs to that site that was provided before and is also in 2nd post of thread.

No radio added?

i am upgrading from a t- moilbe wm5 rom, do i flash the newest radio first?

Whats the best method? run the spl with olipro unlocker then flash radio? or flash this wm6 then flash new radio?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sagytb:
I am out for the weekend - I will try all on Sunday and let you know.

Thanks for your help.

:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
it has to do with the option probable in realvga. uncheck the option and the video call will come back.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Just tried it and I got the field to change it anywhere from 0-100%. This is in Dual. Not sure why you're not able to do it though.

Which RSS reader are you using BTW? :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
Im currently using PocketRss, which I love...the only thing i wish I could do is change the font color of the feeds, all it lets me change is the headline color, so the headline is black but all the rest of the news is white....which conflicts with my half transparent background im trying to fix.....at what point does it let you choose the transparency? i go start, settings, today, and then i choose use this picture as background, browse to picture, and then select it. puts me back to theme selection and i click ok, loads the pic for my background automatically and its half transparent.....and i know the pics arent transparent before i xfered them to my advantage.....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
any advice anyone has, as to restoring the opacity option is greatly appreciated!

Here is a screencapture of my today screen. The background is actually supposed to be blue, but because of the opacity it looks white/grey. I am also lookin for the third icon bar that is displayed in the first page of this thread...im not sure how to get that showing as well.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
nobody has any ideas as to why I would lose the ability to chage the opacity on my today background?

Radio Upgrade and ROM Flashing

Im preparing to flash my 7501 with the PK Rom and I saw in the thread that the radio has to be upgraded first. Also, it has to be CID unlocked first before flashing the ROM. I just want to get my sequence right. Is it upgrade the radio first, then CID unlock using Olipro's, then flash the ROM? Your he would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eagle 1:
unlock with olipro unlocker, flash radio, flash rom...realizing it will hard reset and lose your current data and apps..
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Kenjari:
Just curious, in Olipro thread it says to use Unlocker version 3.0, however, last week when I flashed, the unlocker version said 1.00.0 (something like that--I right clicked the icon and went to "Properties")? Did I use the wrong version and got lucky?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
If you go into Bootloader and it shows that the patch worked then you're ok. You can read more here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=316846
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Kenjari:
thanks for the quick response buddy!

so for future reference, the first thread is the proper unlocker in it! the bootloader did say 3.0. AHHHH!!! Another teaching from the wise ones!

thanks again lxtda;)

HELP!! my screen went black as i was using olipro's unlocker. my 7501 doesnt boot up. but when i try the volume down + reset button, it goes only the joystick lights up and the screen is black. please help me
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
Update: i tried the volume down, camera fully pressed and the reset button and what came out was a 3 color screen which says:

ATHE100

IPL-V2.02

ATHE100

SPL-V1.20.Olipro and a white screen below which says SERIAL in it.

What do I do here? Please help
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
That's the bootloader screen - you should just be able to flash the ROM now.

Good luck.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
how do i do that? im sorry. this is my first time to do this and im getting quite scared. how do i flash the rom?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
You've downloaded? And unzipped? Just plug your phone into your computer and run ROMUpdateUtility.

Don't panic and let it do it's stuff. Wait til it's finished and Robert is your father's brother.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
it worked!!! thank you very much confucius!! your a life saver!!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
Don't thank me, I just gave a few simple instructions. Thank the team, they're the ones that produced this fantastic ROM for us!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
THANK YOU TO THE TEAM WHO COOKED UP THIS TREMENDOUS ROM :)

by the way, i just noticed that my radio was not upgraded to 1.5. its still 1.2. Is there a way that i can upgrade just the radio alone?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
The new radio was not included in the ROM. You would have to search, find and flash 1.50 which will hard reset your device. Do it before you get to customize the phone. :)

I personally love 1.50 but before you upgrade the radio, read on what others have to say. It's not for everyone.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jetherson:
hi ltxda,

where can i get the radio 1.50? the rapidshare link isnt working

also, personally, what's the issue with the 1.50 version?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I don't have any issues. If you read the thread about the radio's you might see what others are talking about. One thing I know is that the Athena Project core team is all running 1.50.

Also, post on the radio thread to see if someone can link you to the radio...right now i don't have access to it so I won't be able to upload it for you. Sorry bro.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MXracer:
Can someone give me a str8 answer on a simple question?

I have an unlocked European version, that is, the Advantage x7500, which works nice with the new original WM6 BUT as always its running very slow...

CAN I use the Black Dual Rom OR it's not intend for my version????

Apart from what other people are saying about problems will it at least boot or I'm going to brick it??

I'm only asking cause I haven't reached a safe conclusion if it can be installed in my device version or not.

That was the only reason I updated to the original version and not the Black Touch in the first place.

Thanks in Advance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] EQUANCY:
What about slow?

Completely slow or partly or specific applications?

have you tried and compared your X7500 with original Wm6 rom ( HTC )?

I ask you because I've tried and compared.

This rom works better than official rom.

But

RealVGA mode makes Athena some slower in some applications:

TomTom, windows media player, coreplayer ( Ati Chip useles in RealVGA mode )

most of games, opera works some slower, livemsn slow too.

Regards,
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] c0mput0r:
For me using tomtom6 on pk3 in 96dpi, 128dpi, and 192dpi it still is jerky. In fact it looks exactly like the videos of the TyTN II at http://www.htcclassaction.org which leads me to believe it suffers from the same problem as the TyTN II.

If you look at the right side of the page under videos watch the one called TyTN II vs Magician (must-see TomTom) and you will see exactly how tomtom6 looks on the x7500 for me.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
Don't they both have the same ATI chipset? Which would explain the problem.

Scrap TomTom and get CoPilot ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MXracer:
I'm pretty sure that this Rom works better than original.

My Advantage has a lag no matter the application, its even slower when opening programs than the HTC P3600 and I know than the problem is Real VGA and the PocketBreeze today plugin... but i need these so I was hoping to get a performance upgrade using DUAL BLACK Rom but my question is this:

WILL it work for the Unlocked European Version of the HTC Advantage x7500?

To be more specific:

My device gives me the following model information:

ATHE100

So I'm 99% sure it's the same... can any one give me the rest 1%?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] SengUK:
NO Sound

I wondering if someone can help.

I have had this ROM installed since early december 2007 - excellent ROM love its features and progs! However in the past couple of days I am getting some odd sound issues:

No sound from Media Player

No Sound from Media Manager

Sound when phone Rings

Sound through Hands Free Headphones

No Screen Taps (when turned on)

Can someone please help? Do you think this is a ROM/Config issues or a Hardware one?

Many thanks in advance ...

:confused: :rolleyes: :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AGDelaney:
Just to cponfirm that I am using this ROM and have a UK 7500. There are no problems so long as you follow the instructions properly i.e. make sure that the device is unlocked first.

Hope this puts your mind at rest.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] CRU2008:
I just upgraded to this impressive ROM last night. This ROM and its programs are the best. This has really pushed the Advantage to the ultimate level.

Thank you to the team members on this Project. You guys are phenomonal. I plan to make a donation this Friday....(when a brotha gets paid).

I have a lot to learn on the programs on this ROM. I have never seen nor heard of TOM, WSTASk, and others.

I thank you again to all those on the team who created this ROM.

One question, now that my device is unlocked, I can flash any Athena, Ameo, Advantage ROM on it with out havent to unlock again? So for istances, when say.....PK 4.0 drop....only thing I have to do is just connect PC to PPC, and hit the Romupdateutility and thats it?

Or do I have to unlock again?

Thank YOOOOUUUUUU! You have a very happy camper on your team now!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
Yes. These guys are VERY good ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MXracer:
Yes! Filling better now... :o Thank you.

I'll flash latter this week when i have the time to install all the progs and hopefully the performance it's going to be "Advantage"
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sabes143:
Hi

Its look like wrong radio on the device. Try Flashing the 1.50 radio again. It will reset the device. Good luck.

From touch to dual?

I have the Athena Touch and have not upgraded to the Dual. I figured that the two roms are pretty close and that I should wait for PK 4.0 before doing the upgrade and reinstalling all my programs and settings. Is this a good strategy or will the wait for PK 4.0 be too long?

Thanks,
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
4.0 is a ways off with no ETA. I myself went to the latest and found it better....others say the same. Not sure why I notice a difference.

But nah, 4.0 is way off. We're trying to get ahead of the curve so it's going to take a little while for it to be ready. Don't ask me any questions as this is all i'll say.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apap:
Thanks for the quick advice...and your wonderful work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] EQUANCY:
I don't understand what do you mean?

Unlocked European Version?

There is no special version,

My device is HTC Advantage X7500 black ( not branded ) and gives me same model information : ATHE100

But if you mean clones ( dopod, ameo .... ) everyones are same.

they have only country lock and simlock ( all of locks can be unlockable ).

I mean not X7501, this renewed version of X7500 but most of hardware specifications

are same. ( only FM radio )

You must unlock SPL first,

then you may flash.

Other side

I'm not sure but I guess,

PK Black is not remaked ( cooked ) version of an original HTC release,

But however it is some faster than original Windows Mobile 6,

Ati graphic chip has problems and this is a driver problem i think,

because

Direct Draw performance is not good as X51v's graphic accelerator.

may be memory/cache or may be a driver problem

I don't know but somethings wrong.

and most of Advantage users are thinks same like me.

I'm not a professional tester and I have not so much experience about mobile windows phone devices and these are only mine reviews,

I like this device much and I hope every problems will be fixed in future.

Regards.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] X7501_PPC:
A Lot of Thanks ....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MXracer:
Thanks for your answer! I'm now sure that we have the SAME phone.

Just to sum things up my phone is sim unlocked so the only thing i have to do is SPL unlock with Olimpro's Unloker... Right?

After spending almost 4 hours reading ALL the messages I come up to the conclusion that there still is a problem with TCPMP and landscape mode.

I'm trying to keep the post small so I wont explain way but it's mandatory for me to use it from 1st second in landscape...

Can i revert back to an old version after upgrading?

Right now I'm using the updated original Rom with WM6 can I install snapvue and see If I have any of these speed problems others are experiencing??

My only problem with this device is that the last 8 months I'm using it I never had the performance I expected, and when I say performance I'm talking immediate response when no programs are running and you tab at Settings for instance and you switch from Personal to System to Connections... from time to time I may need 2sec for each change for no particular reason... Only hoping that this Rom can change all this! :o I need 20 sec to open Opera and another 4 to have Google while I'm already connected at HSDPA is this normal???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
Wifi Speed

I am using this incredible ROM, with the radio 1.5.

I see my WIFI access to internet is around 0,4 mb. I am very close the point of access. A laptop close the pda has 1,2 mb.

Tested on HSDPA it is around 0,8 mb

It is the same for you?

Adjusted wifi performance to the best.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] EQUANCY:
RealVGA

My pda need's 10-15 secs to ready2use.

PK3 works pretty good

TCMP haven't any problem in normal VGA mode ( i've never seen )

but if yu've RealVGA installed then you may got problems while:...

1- Watching videos with TCMP or any Divx player at full screen mode.

2- Most of Direct3D based games ( inverted, stuck screen )

3- Windows Media Player sometimes freezes up.

4- Today screen sometimes freezes too.

5- Tomtom 6 works sometimes slow ( VGA slow too but in RealVGA mode more slower )

6- VGA out works not good.

May some other problems you may see in RealVGA mode.

if your pda runs very slow I advice you take a contact with your Telephone provider ( if branded )

or HTC support.

Regards.

What PIM are you using for your PK ROM?

I've used Pocket Informant but the letters came out too small to read, hence, rendering it useless. Is anybody using another PIM software with their PK 3.0 rom that is compatible with realvga?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I prefer Today Agenda, as each PIM items takes up only one line on the today screen. I can creat, edit and delete PIM items on the today screen itself. There is no problem with the font size :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Why don't you just adjust the font size in Pocket Informant? It's very easy to do. Also, the latest version has a new layout so the font size is not an issue. It is by far and away the best in my view.

BTW - this should probably be in a different thread as it's about a different topic.

Since we have Ext-ROM editor for Athena, i ask for adding WKTask, WM5torage and ScreenCapture install-cabs into PK 4.0 Ext-ROM too, so they can be replaced by only editing and reflashing the Ext-ROM in future.

New WKTask Version has much more settings i like.

WM5Storage on device looses connection and aborts copy process when copying large files on Microdrive. (H: could not be found...)

ScreenCapture does not work correctly, better version attached working great. (Pocketscreen)

I have to create more RAM on this ROM. I see everything in the Programs list. But I dont know what I "essentially" need and dont. Which one is a fix for the ROM?

There is a lot of the programs that come with it that I dont use. But looking at the Remove Programs list, I dont know which one to delete. I have already removed Flash lite.

How do I get rid of Wstask (dont use)? Dont want: HTC Action Screen (what is Action Screen?), Flashlight, FTouchFlo, vxUtil.

I want: Adobe Reader, Media Player,

This is a phenomonal ROM, and I'm staying with it until of course PK 4. But I need more RAM. After I install my software program on there (which I know might be pretty heavy on RAM) I average between 35 and 45 maybe 50mb. But eventually it goes down.

thanks in advance

Especially to the team behind this wonderful ROM!

I just paid attention to the PK 3 sounds. These are impressive. I do I install them? I copied them to the \My Documents\My Ring tones. I was able to put select the Ring "Incoming Call" But now I want to install all of the sounds.

Thanks

Still learning this powerful ROM!!!
