yes though i believe itll be a few days later as it'll need proper testing. i wanted to have them out at same time but i have 1 more issue in the rom that needs fixing then i just make the addons and release UNLESS something else comes up. dang we were so close to release. we found this issue today. hmmm looks like monday :(

Thanks for the response!!!!

I did use the link "Log in to Paypal". After I log in, it shows "Click to retry" and "Return to homepage", on the upper part, it shows several buttoms, one of the buttoms is "Send Money". I click the buttom "Send Money". It asks to fill in the email address of the reciepiant. I filled in the project's email address, it says invalid adddress. And then I tried to click "Click to retry" several times, it always shows "Click to retry". I totally get confused.

Quick advice needed from AP 4 team:

A friend of mine wants to purchase an Athena and asked me whether to wait for the 7510 or purchase the standard one now. My only concern about waiting for the 'upgraded' version is whether it will get the kind of rom updates the AP team provides for the 7500. In short, what would you advise him?

Thanks,
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] enthusio:
It's always a tough one! I would tell him to hang on a bit for 2 reasons - just before or after the launch there's bound to be specials on the X7500/1. Especially at the online retailers. Our insiders would probably be able to tell us but I think the chances are good that the basic hardware architecture is the same. Similar situation with the Elf, Elfin and Touch dual etc. Chances are good that the excellent cooks here will get it to work if they can get their hands on 1 or :cool: 2...!

I must admit that if I was in market for a device I would wait for the latest version if I could afford it though...

AP 4.0 ring tone

Hey guys I'm going to get free some time in the studio around Monday and I wanted to pen a ring tone to celebrate the release of this rom. (Something that would identify you to other AP 4.0ers and because I want to. All royalty free of course.)

Any preferences on on format and even song style and length?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
the 7510's only advantages over the 7500 at this point are the 16GB drive vs. our 8GB microdrive and the new keyboard. we have the joystick, and windows,ok, and comm mananger keys that have been removed in the 7510.

to those asking about if we will do roms for the 7510.... wait till release of 4.0 and u will know :p
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
Hey Pawel, any insight on wifi issue being resolved on 4.0 so it will connect to N Routers? The device doesn't connect to N Routers even when I set them to broadcast in B/G. Oh info on video drivers?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
My advise is for them to wait at before making that decision. I personally like the extra buttons. Wait at least another week or so before making a purchasing decision. Also, if you want to do your buddy a favor...go compare your Athena to the 7510 coming out and see what you think.

Ap 4.0 Ringtone

Hi all,

said I'd do one and i hope you like it. I went for something I thought would not offend anyone and possibly a bit catchy. I'm giving it royalty free to everyone who installs AP 4.0 on their machine.

(CC none commercial, no deriv's)

Cannot wait for the the rom now. I have all week on holiday to install and test.

. . . and the drum beat begins: will it be a yeah or nay for today? . . .
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
To download or not to download, that's.... etc.

I vote yay for a release today! I would almost say in whatever state the ROM will be. That's not to say I'm not appriciating all the hard work all ppl on the crew are doing. But I must admit this isn't a good thing for my internet addiction. ATM I'm checking the forum again from my Athena, just can't wait till I'm home. So to start the download when I'm home would be quite a treat. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
I would disagree. I think the crew should continue to focus on quality which they've been doing thus far. The crew have done an excellent job on PK 3, I doubt that with all the issues they're dealing with wouldn't benefit any for them to release the ROM in an unstable state. I would rather them take the time to release something that will surpass PK 3. Hence, less issues dealing with technical problems and more praises about the new "Savage" (beast and animal's) been taken already. Just my 2 cents. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Blah blah... This sounds kind of foulish. And I know I'm taking a risk by opening this post in this way. But I didn't say that quality isn't important to me. Than there's the thing that yesterday was being said that they had one issue remaining to reslove.

Keep up thej good work! But still I'm very anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ROM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] c1oudrs:
#1 the team needs to feel good about the release. [So they keep up the good work!] The last one was a labor of love--this one obviously is too. We continue to wait as the suspense builds. But we will wait--as it should be.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
I just had a long day's of work. So I'm just in the mood to reply to everything I see. We must wait till the ROM is ready...? Of course I agree, but... Do we have any choice?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
Nah, Release it Today

I think releasing the ROM as a beta now, should be the option the team considers. One of the beauties of open source type software is the number of people willing to test it.

I think them trying to control the quality internally is putting way too much pressure and work on them.

Let us help!

My 2 cents,

Ken
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
What are your expections with PK 4?

Mine is drivers for better video performance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marek101:
When the team feels its ok to release they will do so. First and foremost they must make sure the software is something they feel comfortable releasing to the general public. If it takes a few days or a week later or so, so be it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Arctic Matt:
Everyones getting edgy.

I think they should scrap the entire project and concentrate on a decent VGA ZX Spectrum emulator which is what we all really want!

This is like waiting for The Stone Roses' follow up. The hype is so much I only hope the rom can hit half of the expectation.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
I agree...

Maybe we should dub the ROM "PK Second Coming"!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] dheerajjuneja:
I hear a lot of people talking about the video drivers for better video performance ... of course the screen refresh or the responsiveness is not something which is great (its at par with other windows mobile devices), but guys is it ONLY related to video drivers?

Lets see how our Athena will be performing after this rom :)

developers, thank you for your great work on the previous project pk3 its some good stuff :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
the only decision you all have to make is lite or full. i wish i could release the rom today but 2 things are keeping me. ltxda will explain and ill add to that once he does.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
if you provide the cab files for the programs that are in the full then you should release the lite but if not then release the full. thanks for the hard work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
I think the full will be better.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] gloom:
often people ask for a light rom cause everybody don't want all of the extra stuff. So maybe like pk3 will be better. Basic rom and then people add the cabs they want :p
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Mantun01:
Lite or full

Personally I prefer lite. Meaning all the operation necessary applications are ROM included eg HDPSA switch, password man (by the way have you managed to correct wm6 problem where the password is forgotten) etc, and all aplications are left out (but made available for download). This will mean that when new program versions are released we are not using up extra storage memory nor have possible duplicate programs (I have core player so I dont need tcpmp).

As for pre-releasing or not, how many times have we cursed major software companies for releasing dodgy software? Lets make it as final and clean as pissible.

Keep up the great work!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] dj_gabzz:
+1 lite

i vote for lite and cabs like pk3.. this way users can add what they need also an empty ext rom.. please please. thanks

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
i agree completely with the spirit of this post--an international community with the common goal of perfecting our athena/advantage experience. i love it all. btw, i vote mixed - include the crucial stuff and cabs for the rest. pk3 was generally on the mark, altho i wouldn't mind a tad lite-r. thanks to all...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I prefer more control over what program to use, so I voted lite. However, it should include things the following things:

- optimal page pool

- Beautiful primary and secondary spash screen for all dpi to be used with realVGA. Since there appear to be no further development in realVGA, there is probably no harm having this embedded into the ROM.

- Performance tweaks. This is important.

Everthing that goes into the full version could go to the add on.

I like not having to see unwanted applications at all. Now, this unwanted list has even included MS office, as I'm really into SoftMaker now. For others, wktask could be in the list of unwanted application, as they might prefre Wisbar Advance to do the same job.

Is the OS based on WM6.5 or WM6.1? In anycase, based on what was posted by people using WM6.1, I'm looking forward to faster soft boot, etc.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] THE GZS:
Lite vs Full

I must also vote for lite and adding whatever programs I like.

Because I am medically orientated I don't use many of the programs discussed in the beginning of this thread (either because they're not medical or because I waist most of my life at my job and don't have enough time to play with my athena :(

I would also like to thank the team for their tremendous efforts and hope you take as much time as you need.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] halljames:
I just want to install something new, dont mind if it is the lite version or the full version
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Martincyborg@gmail.com:
lite seems to be a better choice for most people as needs and preferences are so diverse.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Absolutely right. Some of us like mimalist desktop, some like ultimate launcher, some iLauncher, some wants today plus, some want Vista look, some like iPhonish look... Even weather program is the same. Some could accept the HTC today plugin's , others refuse to have anything to do with it. Same for keyboard, same for almost everything else.

The only things which could be really really common to all, I think are the page pool, performance tweaks, splash screen, and realVGA. These should not be left out from the lite version.

Just leave it to the individuals to configure it. Provide all the other cabs for them to decide themselves.

LESS IS MORE.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] dheerajjuneja:
My vote goes for a vanilla release ... though if you guys have a fully loaded version ready to be release earlier ... i (i guess all of us waiting for the release) won't mind it as well :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] halljames:
Can I ask maybe a dumb question. Will the lite version end up having a load of free space in the ROM that is just wasted. Will the full version have all of the extra bits installed in the ROM, so less to install in the normal storage rom ??
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:

Official Update 03.18.08 am...EST

The ROM is nearly complete. We've identified a few issues we're working through.

Last night we installed a new build of the ROM. Are trying to finalize a few things then release. Thank you for your continued patience...and it's coming.

On another note, thank you to those that have continued to donate. The core team appreciates the support.

Things we're testing on this latest build:

- BlueTooth

- Hardware Keyboard

- Screen issues

- Compatibility with certain apps (we'll of course need more help from you guys on this once the ROM is released)

Also, we ARE planning on releasing the first available ROM and not wait until all incarnations are ready. As you, we can't wait till this ROM is released. We'll release what's available then work on the other "editions" while you guys test for us.

And for those that keep asking and asking and asking when it will be released....go buy a doggy chew toy and bite on that for a while. It's coming. I bet you'll be the first to complain if something is wrong with the ROM even though you want it yesterday so as they say in the US/South "simma down"....again....IT...IS...COMING. :D

I am hoping for today. I have a new 200gb hd 7200 rpm for my laptop that I am waiting to install until after my Dopod gets the 4.0 upgrade.

FWIW I would like to see a Lite version with an addon folder.

Would love to see a "facilitator" program for the full version that would function like a chinese restraunt menu - column a = Today Screen Programs, column b = web browsers, column c ... Ick one or more from each column and it would install all. Possibly includ a screen shot and description of each program to aid in selection. BTW I would be willing to help with such a project.
