I'm just keeping my fingers x'd for Easter Weekend - plenty of time to try it away from work. But I'm sure the world will keep turning if not, even if you have numerous people on the edge of their office chairs. :D Good luck guys!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Just about right:
"NOT NEVER!!!!! NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! lol

Keep up the great work and like everyone else, I'm hovering and checking the forum every chance I get. This is worse than the ipod release date. If people had to wait in line to get the ROM I'm sure the line would be very long.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
I'm still waiting... (sigh)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
We're all waiting with baited breath - but would rather it's complete.

Good luck guys. Keep up the good work.

AP4.0

WHEN this program is release
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Skillie:
Just out of curiousity

which requests in this thread actually made it to the Rom ?

Do you guys feel that it was worthwhile involving us(Noobs and Enthusiasts) in Cooking the perfect Rom?

Guys, I would recommend you keep your Batteries Charged , wipe your Storage Cards Clean of all the unnecessary stuff and keep your fingers crossed.

Maybe you can flash PK3 on Your machines just to time it and maybe get your process straight

or go talk to your ISP to give you some mirror space for the new rom

Maybe someone can tell us what is the fastest way to flash a Rom

1. Copy it to your SD card and then reboot

2. Flashing it from a Desktop

3. Some other wacky quick method

Keep up the good work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] djh3o:
i have a lot of dedicated server (bi quadcore, 12go ram, with 2*1gbps bandwith) in europe. If you need some mirror let me know ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ahmed45:
ohh man people all round the world are so keen on this release ,,i bought my x7500 two weeks ago cos of this lolol wish you guys the best i would like to donate but im not currently registered to any banks in dubai
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
well if you flash from the storage card, you can save time by

1) downloading the rom direct to your athena.

This saves time by having to not go and turning on the computer, retrieve your sync cable from behind the sofa, swear at the amount of time it takes for the flash prog to work out that you already have A) an athena, b) a rom c) bootloader mode, that it is the 3rd day after you danced widdershins to the light of the new moon.

2) change the name of the rom image to ATHEIMG.nbh on the storage card, go into bootloader mode.

3) sit there worrying that it's all going well.

4) enjoy the new rom in much less time than it take boil the kettle (a few times).

I've flashed the athena once from desktop, and at least 5 times from card now, so much simpler and quicker.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
It has to be the THIRD day afte I dance widdwershins to the light of the new moon? So that's where I've been going wrong!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] auramae:
Forgive me for being as dumb as a box of rocks, but does the machine automatically go to the storage card looking for the renamed file once it has entered bootloader?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Midget_1990:
yes it does
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mardibloke:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
have you checked the file properties in /application data/opera9 ? (or at least made sure that the preferences are pointing to the right place)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
It's the end of an era. ITxda opened this thread and it looks like he is going to close it as well. I wonder how many folks have bricked with the leaked rom that we haven't heard about?

Is picture some guy in China, a junior member maybe - with one or two posts, cradling his athena and rocking back and forth while tears spill from his eyes? Cursing his lack of patience and resolve...

Probably not. He's more likely bugging the **** out of Olinex on IRC...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :
Muahahaha!

"Nooooooo!! Adwantage Blicked!"

LMFAO!! :D:D:D:D

sorry, couldn't resist the Engrish Joke!

Yes I did acquire the pre-release, and yes i followed the pdf. All went well, but then i've been flashing since I bought a magician, so i've done it a few times and know to read, read and read again whenever you get instructions with these things!

Just playing with it and will happily provide feedback when i'm not working.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mw22:
Sorry was sleeoping took some time off

Well said Marcoma

These guys are doing a sterling job working studying and spending propbably virtually all their free time to writing roms

If they pre release then these are the guys who go about *****ing that it was pre released and screaming for help on sorting the bricked babies out

Well LOL i was spared the last 30 pages of catchup while I was away

This reads better than any gossip paper I have seen
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Olipro:
er, the link was posted frequently, but maybe I was sleeping.

do you want the link? bearing in mind that it is pre-release and isn't entirely secured yet.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
you are not even funny.

pk said it best... you posted something that you didn't have any part in to make it. so you have no rights to release it instead of the people who actually created it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] WiZaxx:
Mine was an attempt to moderate tones, rather than a cry for the link. My donation was a sign of support (and still is), so I was stunned by the tone of your reply, nothing else.

Aplogies for the misunderstanding. (perhaps my english is not so good):o

I'm not a developer, and I would need too much guidance (read your time) to be of any help testing, so I'm happy to wait for a more stable release.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
1. 3.00 - it's not from the athena 1.5 because i decided it is less of a pain in the ass to just edit the athena 1.0 nk to adjust to the new SPL, than changing the whole ISR (the lowest level OEM interrupt handler in the kernel) to accommodate the interrupts for the extra buttons on the athena 1.0.

2. don't know that one, final decision was PK's, but i can check for you if you wish if he doesn't get back to you.

3. let's confirm, you mean the part when kernel is booting up with the version numbers?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
oh don't worry he likes to play the asshole even though he isn't one. don't take it seriously.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
i don't think it is a wise idea to send that half finished hardSPL to everyone yet.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
it's fine, they are fixable, though banyas' case is one of the harder ones

so just cry for help in a new thread - NOT in this one please.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
you can see in this thread what's going on

the beta link was posted to too many people (this decision i never agreed with) and now it's all a big mess :D

which of course wastes time.

by the way...

EVERYONE WHO FLASHED ANY VERSION OF THE PRERELEASE, PLEASE REFLASH WITH FINAL WHEN IT COMES OUT OR YOU ARE NOT SAFE.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

:sigh:

why would you need AP4 to get the french keyboard layout dll?! AP4 is WWE.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
when you get back on IRC, please send me a link to the official french rom and i'll get the files & registry entries for you.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
you can disable it

and no, this feature doesn't consume 20MB extra space, are you joking - i hope so.

the vanilla will be for those people who feel they need the 20MB or just want the leanest rom possible.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
no, because of the unique MAC address in it it cannot be posted publicly!!!

links to them have been removed from my server - just in case irus comes along. :D

simply post your request in the new thread i've opened here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=385148

and if you can, please post your old MAC too - but note that by default we need time for more important things than fixing devices that got screwed up with the prerelease crap.

I go to it but when I click on projects it comes up with the proverbial 404 error page not found????

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennysh:
I see you're busy today cmonex! How are you today?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] zeer:
So, that said i can safely cook my own ROM using that kernel - nk.exe doesn't depend on anything but new SPL?

No, please don't check - you have more important job :)

the mystery should remain :)

yes, where radio, os, kernel version shows up in red letters

By the way, do you really meant "Window Mobile" in the splash screen, not "Windows Mobile"
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
bricked with pre-release....

For those of you that bricked your devices with the pre-release, please see irus. He seems to know what's best here. Im sure with his vast knowledge he can revive your phone from this never before done flasher. He's your man.

Radio upgrade

Hi guys ... just a small question...

Will it be included in the package unlocker + rom also the 1.57 radio upgrade or should we upgrade it separately?

Great job dudes!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mw22:
I think it was stated earlier (long long way back) that radio to be upgraded seperateley
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] div@h:
Sorry then .... just missed that ...

In that case, what's the best option? upgrade the radio before or after flashing from ap3 to ap4?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Thank you very much. Appreciated by the team and community.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
I say get the radio on there before 4.0.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cjmedina:
I flashed a prerelease and all went well have a few questions and comments. first is there a specific need to upgrade the radio? im using 1.38 (i like it the best) everything work fine text email web. second is when I open the htc ablum it locks up the phone requiring a soft reset. overall all I think the prerelease is pretty sweet. few bugs but since it a beta im sure they will be worked out. on a side note I love the bigger fonts thru out the system. and the home screen is pretty awesome
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vicinc:
the file attributes are to archive only, no read only. what should be the right place for preferences?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mardibloke:
I think I read somewhere that AP4.0 will need you to be on Radio 1.50 or later.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
I have radio 1.47 and i have AP 4.0 with no problems
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] photon2:
So if the radio doesn't really need updating and there are no new speed enhancements or no new video drivers then what are the core benefits for an AP4 upgrade?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
its much more faster
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mw22:
its probably going to be cooler and will have windows 6.1 everything ss opposed to 6.0
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] darkjedi:
The only issue I'm having so far, and other people have had this issue as well...is that the battery will be green, but show ~96-98% in settings. Not sure what's wrong here, maybe Pawel can look at that :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
no, I have some expertise on this matter. Language of the operative system could be english, italian, etc, but if you want to use correctly the special characters of the keyboard (phisical one) you need the correct keyb files.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] raskell:
Well, this is probably due to the fact that we now have Battery Readouts in 1% INCREMENTS, not 10% as before. The Athena probably always lit green >95% which would coincide with jumping from 90% to 100%. We just now perceive that we are not quite to 100% yet. This should not be an issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mw22:
Does this mean that when u charge and the light goes green that the battery is fully charged or r u saying that when u charge it to 100% it still shows green even though indicator has dropped to 95% ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rorydaredkign:
i think its a bug rather than what youre saying about the 10% increments. ive had resco today and spb pp4 for a while, and both have the batery in single percents. i charge my athena fully overnight, and when i wake up, the past 2 days, bth rsco and p4 have said 95/96% after i unplugged it, wheras the light was green.. overnight, surely it shuld charge to 100%?

ROry
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mw22:
i think it must be a bug

we had a similiar problem on treo 680 until an update was released it used to charge to 98/99% even if u left it charge whole weekend
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tobicox:
hi all, installed ap4 yesterday all working fine and just for info i have following issues:

- camera: only main memory and storage card selection will be stored when you exit, to use microdrive i have always to change manually.

- spb backup: there are errors reading cemail.vol, \windows\lic\isoma0000000000000000000000000000.db, \windows\system\sqm\sessions\wordmobile, default.vol, mxip_notify.vol.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] QAN:
Microdrive issue

Does anybody use the Microdrive often on AP4? Radomly I get problems with accessing the filesystem. I get this problem every 5-6 hours.

The first time I was using Resco Explorer when the drive vanished. After a softreset everything was fine again.

The second time all sorts of strange files with strange names appeared in the root of the drive. After a softreset all was fine again.

The third time I was using TomTom when during calculation of a route the calculation gave an error sayin it was impossible to calculate a route. After a reset all was fine again.

The forth time the RSS reader told me that some rss channels were locked and read only. I could not cange anything. After a softreset all was fine again.

In all cases the information was on the Microdrive.

Update...

Some of the more optimistic core team members want to shoot for a release this Friday/weekend. This may or may not happen. We just conquered a significant obstacle so it's a good thing but there are still a few bugs to resolve before putting this thing into your hands. We're planning on having a core meeting tomorrow evening to establish the last mile strategy and go from there. If all goes well we MIGHT be able to release at the end of this week. If it doesn't maybe next weekend. We continue to push and move forward. I can't stress enough how proud I am of my teammates and the members of this community. After working with other forums for other devices, I'm sure every member of this team can say that we're glad to be here in the Athena forum. High quality and high class!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
plus since some of the software is coming for the x7510 the team has to wait until the x7510 gets released or is almost released for plausible deniability purposes ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
the 7510 software wouldn't fit the 7500's os.nb. we did something else....

meh. we release when rom is ready. if i could i would release now. i dont need it out.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:

Waiting for this feels a lot like waiting for a baby to be born. You don't want it to come out until it's finished, but every day you keep hoping it will.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] shortyboy:
i like how they beta test untill ALL the bugs are fixed instead of releasing a new build each time a new build is released...im still on PK3.0 and very happy with it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Digital.Diablo:
Might be a little late in the day, it might already be there, or already ruled out, but Mortscript is a nice little utility for doing odd bits and pieces. I'm sure you're aware of it, but a friendly reminder. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
agreed. i do try to give u latest builds though. i have newer build than the one im releasing but i cant release those. 19181 will be for athena. its 2nd latest athena build :p the apps are pretty much the latest.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
So the 19521 built mentioned in post #7 in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=363542 is the latest? Why is there such a hugh gap between 19181 and 19521? Or is the numbering system screwed up somewhere?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
191XX builds(the high ones like 74, 81, 88, 99 atleast) are newer and better than 195XX. microsoft really is playing with these numbers. i usually look at the rom date but 191XX and 192XX are latest. search through bepes posts as he explains the numbers better. 19181 is RTM and non beta.

19181 is latest athena build i can release....

Project Update...

Tonight we have a new build. We're doing some major testing in the next couple of days hoping some nasty bugs have been completely eliminated. I speak for the entire team when I say this ROM has been one of the more tricky buggers ever. Once it's released we'll be able to speak in more detail about it but I pat the entire team on the back when I look at what we've accomplished. The only thing is that I hope your expectations don't exceed the results. We've hyped it up but most of the leg work was done in the background so you guys might or might not be immediately aware of the struggles and work put behind the building of this latest ROM. We'll provide more details upon release to try and convey what you will be installing and what this new ROM means for your device and "transformation" of your beautiful Athena.

FYI, rest assured that everyone is literally working overtime trying to test/identify/fix any issues prior to the release. We want your experience to be a pleasant one with minimal issues. Of course, once released we do want your feedback and opinions. The sooner the better.

We also ask that other community members pitch in to respond to noob issues and allow the core team to focus on bug reports and fixes. As a community we build the ROM, corny but true.

:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:

I don't donate with the user name with which I post

Passing judgement on people for donating or not, asking for donations or not, or asking for info that could be easily googled or not, seems to me to be a waste of time and energy. We're all participating in this, each in his/her own style, because we like it. If we didn't, the rest of us wouldn't have a forum with which to participate.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] CRU2008:
Yo...was that left field or what. I think I missed something to. LOL

Anyway....

Did I read this correct....is there going to be a second ROM released, that doesn't have any programs on it. Vanilla or something?

What would the RAM look like on this ROM?

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
There will be at least two versions of 4.0, vanilla and fully loaded. Won't say more as it might give away too much. We're almost there. :)
