In the tips section by Tips/Updates (by ltxda):it shows

To get the look show above for htc home, please install htc home customizer and select alien ice clock, iphone-alt icons, transparent background, and stardock weather icons.

- HTC Home customizer that is in the addons has a problem where once u install it it'll look to download the cab for htc home but errors out with error "Plug-in Not Found. Plug-in was not installed. Please report this error." We included in the addons the cab for htchome found on emunutz's site. please install this cab first then start up the customizer.

Ive done these things several times, even a hard reset a time or two. Seems the option to select (alien ice clock, Iphone-alt icons) is not in the options under customizer.

I went to emunutz’s site and downloaded the updates but those are not in there either, just what is in the original cab.

My today screen with HTC Home loaded does not display correctly. The clock partially covers the date and carrier. The next row of icons below the clock is partially covered by the quick start icons. I’ve read the thread completely through and I’m sure someone else has experienced this, but I just cannot find the answer to correct the home screen. Any assistance would be appreciated.

It displays better using realvga at 128 but it still partially covers some today screen icons. Is this normal or do I have my settings screwed up?

I’ve got HTC home working great on my TyTn and have gotten used to it and would like to use it on my Advantage.

Thanks in advance for your advice and assistance.

there is a version that displays correctly in both those dpis a while back. look through my post history for this thread and ill see itll have something liek ALL DPIS in file name.

i forgot exactly how i got those icons in there but was something like downloading within the app. u have to i think theres a catalog where it downloads new stuff not included in the app by default and that is how i got everything

the version that displays correctly though doesnt customize with the customizer. just find the images on web and download the new version that shows up correctly and replace the new images with the ones the cab install.

the original htc home was ment for 96dpi while snapvue for 128 and 192. today though there is a patched htc home that work in all dpis of vga and even same version can be used on any qvga device.

Superb ROM

Thank you very much!

I upgraded my ROM last night and all I can say is wow! This is a lot faster than the stock ROM and it's beautiful.

I had a li'l problem though, but I'm still observing it... Sometimes when I restart the device. Phone takes time to sniff the network signal. Also, wifi is often cut off and can't connect. I'm not sure about this cause there has been a problem with the internet in the Middle East due to some cable failure somewhere and I'm also n roaming.

I'll still observe this and if it doesn't behave I guess I have to do the process all over again. I'm thinking about the radio as the culprit. I'm using 1.50 by the way. (Any inputs?, I had minor errors while using Olipro but it went through)

Got the time prob like franCOKE had. In my case, the time always revert to Moscow every softreset. I followed your tip; deleting the "RIL" registry entry but it didnt solve my problem.

Despite all those crap that I'm experiencing. I'm loving it. Looking forward for possible solutions.

Thank you so much!

Original German Advantage 7500

The Back Dual project really looks very promissing, and I have read most of the thead, but I still have Questions.

I have purchased an Advantage 7500 (German Language) from Amazon, I mean it is not a T-Mobile version. I have flashed a German WM6 version (2.21.407.1 07/18/07) on it and everything is fine.

My question is will this ROM version based on WM6 and what language would it be? I do not mind changing my PDA to english but I'd just like to know what would happen.

When you guys mention unlock do you mean a lock to the T-Mobile SIM card. Or to unlock the ROM (FLASH) to be able to write to it?

I can see that I have a Radio (Funkempfängerversion) 1.50.00.00. Is this a FM Radio?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Jesse
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
FM radio question has been awnsered several times...! Okey, I'll stop teasing. No, there's no FM radio (or at least that's not what that refers to) is just the GSM/GPRS radio version on your deveice.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Hi jessegreene,

Welcome to the forum and congratulation for making the best purchase!

Built into the ROM is the realVGA application written by Tobias. Please be aware that if you use this ROM or the realVGA, there are still issues with the German keyboard input and the use of excel. I'm not aware of any solution to these problems yet. If anyone knows of soution to that, please correct me.

So, if these are important to you, stick with your stock ROM, and just pick and choose the third party applications that you like, such as wktask which is a must have.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] simonsalo:
Connection Priorities WIFI & Cellular Data

Maybe a little off topic, if so I will re-post accordingly however does anyone know if a data connection is present & then a WIFI connection is also made which takes priority? Does the PDA use the (cheaper) WIFI connection in priority to the existing HSDPA / GPRS connection in WM6?

Regards,

Simon
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
I have alwats found that the mobile data connection will be used before WiFi.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Darkguy:
Both issues can be fixed:

After installing the German language pack of RealVGA (bute BEFORE switching to it!), delete the \windows\officeres.dll.0407.mui file. In that case, Excel will run, but will be in English instead of German (if the file isn't deleted, Excel won't run at all).

The (hardware) keyboard issue is easily resolved too: After switching to German in RealVGA, do a registry search for the value 0409... there are a number of keyboard-related keys there, just change the values to 0407, soft-reset and you're set to go.

Hey guys, I'm new to xda forums. Just have a small question. I own a x7501 and I unlocked it with olipro's athena unlocker, then I flashed a 1.50 radio that i found searching forums, then I installed AP 3.0 rom. everything is fine except there is no teksoft finger touch. I tried reflashing again and same thing. so then I reinstalled the factory rom, and did the same process over and still, no finger touch keypad.

SnapVue notifications

I have just (two days ago) installed Dual 3.0 by PK into my x7501

(Maybe too late - new version is upcoming...)

I was using stock ROM for 2 month, tried much of software.

I think PK is more stable.

I like SnapView in 128 DPi mode.

But:

1. I don't like it is not configurable:

a) I do not want "Outlook E-mail" on screen (I do not have Exchange to synchronize with)

b) I do not want "Add Account" on screen - I can add it myself, if it's needed.

c) I would prefer to have ability to remove/change/add some icons

2. I don't like that after each software reset it is adding one more notification for each of two events it is observing:

\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SnapVueTimeChangeEvent

\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SnapVueTimeZoneEvent

So after 15 restarts you have 15 instances of each above event.

It means, that after each time change, system calls SnapVue not one but 15 times...

You can check this (and delete all but one instance of event) using SKTools "Notification Queue".

Speedup is significant, but it is annoying...

Hi

Did you CID unlocked your device with the Olipro's unlocker? Without unlock the CID you cannot be able to update your rom to AP3 or any other than original rom. Read the Olipro's unlocker thread then use it then try update the rom. The pc you are using to update the rom should be with Netframework 2.0 plus updates installed.

Good luck

Give more details to get the right help.

Hello,

I was using PK3.0 with addons, and then the memory got low, super low, out of nowhere. I got an error message about storage memory being low. I was sure to have more memory then 0 bytes, I do not know how it happened, I just installed PK3.0 a week ago. I went to remove programs and the list was empty. So I figured if I just do a soft reset everything would be fine. Well after the soft reset button was pressed. The PK3.0 begin installing, all my data was gone. So I guess it just did a hard reset? I know that Blackberry's low memory manager begins to erase your logs when you run on low memory, but this gives a whole new meaning to low memory management.

PS: Anyone tested low memory on PK4.0 ?

100 MB of Ram???? Where's the rest???

Hi Everybody

I recently update my 7501 to the radio 1.57 using the olipro unlocker and the 1.50 updater. I had a problem during the update. I get a Black screen in the step 2. I went to the boothloader, and flash the original rom. Then tried again, and everyhing went OK.

Then I flash to the AP DUAL 3.0.

Everything was OK, until, I go to the Memory and I saw that my total program memory is 100.90 MB

The information in this window is

Storage

Total: 143.79 MB

In Use: 53.19 MB

Free: 90.96 MB

Program

Total: 100.90 MB

In Use: 37.42 MB

Free: 63.48 MB

I went to Device Information, and it still say that the ram memory is 128 MB, the Flash size is 256 MB and the storage size is 143.79

The information that I saw in Version window is:

ROM Version: AP Dual 3.0

ROM Date: 07/06/07

Radio Version: 1.57.00.00

Protocol Version: 32.90.7020.20H

ExtRom version. AP Dual 3.0

I saw in MenMaid information and i got this

Memory

Storage

Actual Size: 143.78 MB

Used: 53.18 MB

Program

Actual Size 100.89 MB

Used: 37.21 MB

I remember that I has more Ram before the update!!!! I used to have 80 MB free.

Can somebody help me?

Did I made a mistake during the upgrade of the radio or the flash of the rom?

Or it is normal for the the DUAL 3.0?

Regards.

Problem after installing Athena project Black Dual

Hello this is my first post so bear with me.

After installing Athena project Black Dual by PK 3.0 I have this problem.

First when my devise is showing the radio and the rom version the screen is a pattern of colored dots ( like white noise on tv).

Finally ( this is the main problem... ) when I go into the main screen after alignment the x7500 is doing the customisation, which is finished and then the device automatically resets and then the whole prosess starts from the beginning over and over again.

I tried hard reseting the device but nothing changes.

What can I do?

Guess you need to do the unlocker again, good luck
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mkillmer:
Dont worry - I had the same problem exactly!

I think the problem is with unlocking - you need to run the unlocker, from memory, the step ihad to solve this was to place files on the storage card and do the factory load OS from storage - i think it was holding the volume and hitting reset.

I am no pro at this - I quasi-bricked my athena 5 times in the first 48 hours!!! Once you get to SPL 3.5 i think you will be fine - dont forget to do the radio update.

I suggest you read through the forums, find out how to unlock from the memory card and take it from there. I would give you more details, but i cant remember them!!

Does AP5 have other SPL than SPL3.5?

please clarify
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
It was all clearly stated by the AP team.

To down grade from AP4 / AP5 to AP3, you must use only the special SPL 3.5 AP3 ROM.

Once you flashed AP4, your device is trap with SPL3.5, you cant go back to SPL1.20. Until the
