Missing Caller ID

Hi all,

First of all, I love this ROM - really nice work!

I have one problem, when someone's calling, I don't see who's calling. It just says "Incoming call" in the message.

When I receive a call when the hardware keyboard is covering the screen I can see who's calling, but not in the "full screen" mode when the advantage is open.

I'm using Real VGA 1.1 in 96 dpi - so I'm not sure if it's a realVGA problem or a ROM problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance,

greetz

check the wiki. theres most likely a red edit u have to do to change the keyboard to norwegian. if not once u know the reg edit go to a norwegian rom and right down the edit from it and do it to my rom. same for others with different hardware keyboards. making ur rom in another language well the next version after the holidays i will try to make open to as many languages as i can within my ability. also will do different color version for wwe rom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Martincyborg@gmail.com:
thanks you for your reply. I found it on the wiki on this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language

However the "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale" doesnt exsist in my registry. I have only HKey\controlpanel\Keybd and then some values, but not any "Locale" and none of the values look anything like they are supposed to compared to the wiki page. I guess the wiki page is made for wm5 and there could be some changes in wm6? anyway, I finally had to change back to the factory rom, which is a big drop in performance, functionality and user experience, but in the end.. not having a functional hardware keyboard.. even if I have pulled up with it for a llong time, just doesnt quite do it for me.. hope someone has a sollution that works.. I will surelt switch back first chance I get :-)

Do you have the same problem with software keyboard?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Martincyborg@gmail.com:
i was simply using resco with norwegian letters which served me well for a software sip
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
like i said look at the keyboard settings in the rom u have now that has the correct hardware keyboard mapping. once u find it write it down and create or edit the registry in my rom and u will have the right keyboard. i wish sometimes that there would be a app like connection setup that would have all the different keyboard layout for athena so u guys can just install the app and have ur keyboard and if u replace the hardware keyboard with another u switch to that one.

Congrats, small donation & stupid question (can't help it =P )...

This is awesome, and as I'd promised somewhere else, there goes my small ($30) donation from France to support your great efforts !

I also have a probably immensely stupid question, but I searched the Athena forums and didn't find it, so I apologize in advance:

Is the Quick Launch today plug-in configurable and if so, how ?

Thank you for your work in any case, this ROM is awesome, really.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
if u mean the sprint home plugin with the shortcuts for phone, album, camera, etc.. then yes its via a xml called ql_skin_l for landscape and ql_skin_p for portrait. u need a image and a mask to add new items and of course the shortcut to the item u are adding. the current images have a ql in front of them like for example ql_camera.bmp Look at the current ones to see how to make new ones. enjoy!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] HeartOfDarkness:

well i should tonight have a new cab well cabs for htc home. one is the 96dpi version of htc home 2.0.1025.721 which is absolute latest i have extracted from the latest polaris rom i am cooking. the other is thanx to cmonex modded for 192 and 128 dpi meaning no more text cut off etc..

the mod was originally done my mamaich in the uni forum on a older build of htc home. cmonex has found what needs to be modded and did it so it displays the right way on the 2 dpis.

i am also working on a newer version of snapvue which might solve some problems for those who have those problems.

all 3 will be in 4.0 which i believe i will get to work on as soon as i can get a aku 1 build that i also can release to u. hopefully i can get it atleast a few days before the official release of aku 1
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
HTC Home 2.0.1025.721 is done and now available to you all. It is the newest build available and also works in all 3 dpis with no text cut off. I promised 2 cabs but i found this cab works in all 3 dpis(originally i was going to make a cab for 128 and 192 dpi AND a cab for 96dpi).

It is extracted from the latest shipped polaris rom and then the htchome.dll was modified by cmonex to work in all 3 dpis of vga and in qvga.

Originaly mamaich edited a older build of htc home to display in 192 and 128 dpis so big thanx to him as cmonex looked at what he did and did the edit on the new build's dll.

BTW: would u believe that htc now has all images in htchome in program files like we did on the newer builds of htc home...

big thanx to both cmonex and mamaich

phone .using extension from agenda

i have some contacts that have a general phone and you have to add some nubers for the extyension when the call is answered for the general phone. In other devices, example blackberry, if you have for a contact a phone number plus 'ext' followed by the extension number in the agenda, the phone first marks the general number, wait 3 seconds and marks the extension numbers. do you know how to do it with the athena?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] DeathAngelxxx:
Hi there,

I hope you won't kill me for asking that, but I'm still confused about these VueFlo, Snapvue and touchflo (and now VueFlo Orientation :confused: )

Is VueFlo (and VueFlo Orientation) only for scrolling purposes in Opera/IExplorer? As far as I see it Orientation feature is "only" to detect whether you are in Landscape mode or not, right?

What is about the TouchFlo? I have seen a video on youtube that someone was navigating on a cube - he could rotate it up/down/left/right and the main page look very much the same as the HTC Home.

As far as I can see there is a TouchFlo integrated in this ROM, but when I start it nothing happens. It just seems to scroll. But there is no cube :(

Is this another Touchflo here.

Please help me :-)

Thanks in advance.

Greetz

DeathAngelxxx
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
vueflo orientation.... sorry i didnt explain this further. we will be looking into the possibility of using the g sensor that vueflo uses for ie and for opera to make it rotate the phones screen based on which way you are holding it. this is like the iphone but this would work in every single app at any time. though problems that come to mind is how would this work in ie and opera and if this is even possible. doesnt hurt to explorer this though.

now about the cube. yes we have touchflo scrolling in the rom but no cube YET. me and slither are still working on the cube. i have the qvga version on my athena but it looks pretty bad. we will try to get u guys a vga version soon and i hope to integrate it into 4.0 if no one has any objections about it being cooked in.

iPhone type interface for PK ROMs

Hi PK

I came across this FREE app a couple of days ago. I am using it on your 3.0 ROM and it works like a charm. I am using 128 dpi resolution and it looks great.

http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx

Would this be a better solution than HTC Home, Snapvue etc.?

Release notes available here:

http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?t=136
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
Hey guys.. Happy newyear!!!!

I was wondering if there were any plans for a ROM that only supported

one DPI resolution at a time? No DPI switching to get programs to look right, no need for Mr/TrueVGA, all

default/built-in/add-on programs would just "Work & Look" right. because they were tested at that 1 DPI,

and all guaranteed to work and display correctly at that DPI.

It seems that the many problems people have with changing DPI's and switching themes to look correctly is that the ROMS have 3 different DPI's

to support, thus sometime the correct DPI skin/theme isn't picked up and used correctly by the OS upon reboot.

If there were only 1 DPI supported, (Including all necessary mods for that DPI)

then perhaps there wouldn't be so many VGA display issues.

The biggest downside I see is that there would need to be 3 versions of each ROM release. (One for each DPI)

But if all the programs displayed and worked correctly at that DPI, then there would be no need for the VGA

switching apps.

But hey, thats just me thinking...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] DeathAngelxxx:
Hi Docraj!

I came across the very same page same a few days ago, but on the pointui homepage it states that this is NOT compatible with 640x480 resolution.

Caller ID missing

Hi again,

I just tried pointui - it does work, but has little graphic errors in 96DPI mode (other modes I didn't try). It's a nice program, but after a while using it I rather use the standard windows mobile with HTC Home. I like this better.

But I still have one major problem I can't get rid off, when somebody's calling me, in WM5 there was a picture and number of who called. But with this ROM both is gone. There is just this message that somebody is calling, but not who.

Can anyone help me with this?

i know this thread is now 32 pages long and i apologize for adding yet another post =)

but i wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this rom. the developers and all the people involved in this deserve a good round of beers.

a week ago i was in my car and a call came through. my u1000 is bonded to my itech bt headset. anyway, after the call i discovered that all the sounds disappeared from my u1000. it seemed that everything was constantly being streamed into the headset. i turned off bt, deleted the partnerships with the jabra (for the car stereo) and my laptop. nothing happened. even though the bt of my u1000 was turned off all the sounds were gone. oh, and i did like a hell of a lot of resets =)...again, nothing.

finally, did a hard reset....and still nothing! the sounds were still missing...and the only thing to do was pair it with a headset. i think i did 3 hard resets all in all...still nothing. talked to a buddy of mine as he has a u1000 as well. i was already contemplating on buying a replacement pda...no i wasn't going to go for another u1000. i was going to keep my unit for gps...i would then buy a secondary lower model ppc for my phone.

i think the rom was corrupted so i figured the last thing to do was finally do the upgrade. i've been reading a lot on this rom and i've downloaded all the necessary files.

and viola: my u1000's sounds are back...and the unit is MUCH, MUCH faster. not to mention more stable. kudos to you guys for coming up with this.

though i don't really know why the sounds disappeared in the first place....in a roundabout way i'm glad it did. it gave me a reason to upgrade my unit. and now i like my u1000 even more =)

is it possible we remove windows media player and use only TCPMP and use the skin of windows media player for TCPMP to save some space for other future developments of rom
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :
With Hermes i had this Youtube-TCPMP Plugin installed, which is made for TCPMP 0.72, not th newer 0.8x version inside the ROM.

Has somebody running Youtube on Athena with TCPMP?

I think adding no TCPMP would be better, many are using Coreplayer, or TCPMP 0.72.

Some fileassociations are leading to WMP, like avi (divx), but they should be linked to TCPMP, because WMP doesn't support this codec in WM6.

As far as i know it is not possible to skin TCPMP to look like WMP.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vjsxda:
as far as i knw is tht wmp is jus fancy with normal features while TCPMP doesnt look much but packs a lot of funtionalities and author can improve it to even look better, if we remove WMP we can utlise tht free space for eg: cube which can be integrated to future roms from developers

no plans because there really is no benefit. realvga doesnt make each program look good. it loads the correct dpi resources for the built in programs.

the problem isnt we shoudl make roms for the different dpis but fix the problems of each dpi seperatly. i dont know if ull understand me correctly but we have though of things like this and it wouldnt work out. programs would be missing and people couldnt switch between dpis on the fly.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
Hello,

Thanks for the fast reply.. Yeah, I kinda understand where you coming from.

One of the points I was trying to make was that the ROM DPI's would not be

switchable. Should a user want switchable DPI's, then they wouldn't use that

ROM version. Call me crazy but once you get things setup the way you want

them on the device, why would you need/want to change DPI's of all the programs,

just worked/display correctly at the current DPI used.

Any who, I've been putting off playing with the ROMKitchen for a while now.

perhaps its time for me to pull it out and see what I can do.. Just hope I don't

brick my phone.. ;)
