[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
Thanks to Pawell and team

Everyone,

I am in the software business, and I know what it is like to be stressed, under pressure and behind on a self imposed schedule. It sucks. Here it is Easter weekend and these guys are busting their humps to create something the are truly personally invested in and passionate about for what is admittedly one of the smallest communities of HTC enthusiasts (Those of us who could afford to part with what this lovely brick costs).

I have also read what someone who creates a ROM for one of the really popular models gets in donations, and it is a really insignificant amount of cash when you look at the time and labor invested. Maybe enough to get another device and keep the cycle going.

I just wanted to give my sincere thanks to the AP team, whatever ver 4 looks like, I know how much effort it has taken based on your posts and to me personally it is one of the most exciting events to happen in the HTC WinMo world that I can remember (my first device was a Casio Cassiopiea running Ver 1.0 of WinCE, four big megabytes of RAM and a four shade grayscale backlit display which was unreadable... that was in 1996 before even the Palm Sized or Pocket PC, I see the Athena as the realization of what engineers wanted those devices to be)

Sorry about the long post. I plan on pledging 50 bucks when the ROM is released. If I can pay Beta Boy 30 for CorePlayer, 50 to me is a bargain for pk 4.

I also wanted to point out I am not trying to preach, everybody in this forum has basically said the same things. The group of Athena owners is the best of the XDA community, hands down!

Happy Easter everyone

Ken

Once the debt for my athena is gone, I'll give some money too. And I agree that this is the best community, everyone here seems to be in the know technologically, and just generally intelligent. And when we have some of the best people making ROM's for us, can it be better?

The last post got me thinking how many devices I have had over the years and inspired my new sig. What do you think?

SPL for NEW AP 4.0 ?

Team :

You,re recommend a new or some special Olipro unlocker for x700 Advantage?. I got my Advantage with 3.0 ROM version. Maybe some news people about flash ROM made your first steps with 4.0 Version . I,m upgrade my Advantage form a first moment all version will be work really Great !. Can you refresh advice for all about care before flash New ROM , like if necessary quiet memory card or sim card , version SPl , Olpro etc ?.

Take a deep breath , out to walk , see the sky and then...return and could see all clear

( Guidance of my grandfather ..He was work in Apollo XI proyect)

It,s a Pride for me share this words with all yours!.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
Totally agree. I had donated to the AP back in October but about 10 days ago I donated again. Not a ton of money, but just something to show appreciation and help those who are helping us enjoy our devices so much. It would be wonderful if the same people who were flooding this thread about how excited they were about the upcoming release showed that they can reciprocate what these guys have done by flooding with donations.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apap:
I have also donated a small sum a couple of weeks ago and will certainly donate again.

I am full of appreciation and I hope the headaches have receded. Health above all!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
My money is where my mouth was...

My 50 is in, not as much as it used to be with the way our dollar is sucking in the world market... but hope it helps alleviate the headaches...

karneson - much as it's an impressive list it's far to long to have as a sig!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
:p I'll keep it around for special occasions.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
I totally agree. If everyone has a sig like that we [translating a Dutch saying] couldn't see the trees through the forest. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
instructions and details will come soon... the reason for the new spl is because of the repartitioning. this allows me to keep a empty ext rom and have the app loaded with lots of nice things. ull see what i mean soon....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rorydaredkign:
will the spl be flashed as part of the ruu, or will it be a seperate process?

And, can it be done on the go, so say could i download it at work, and flash using sd method?

Rory
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
i hope it will be simple.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Some people complain about all the people who can't stand it anymore. The waiting just 'seems' to take forever. But don't you all agree with me that quotes like the above kind of provoke it? :confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
well i think ull agree all the hype and stuff before the release just make it even more nicer once it comes out.... i'll just stop giving out details of the rom till release then.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] karneson:
Come on, the hype and little details spilling out here and there are what has made this so much fun. Don't piss off the cook, true for roms and restaurants. I know you meant no harm, but we all are hanging on the teams every word, reading into every pronoun and punctuation mark for clues about this rom.

This has to be the most hyped release since the iPhone, and we don't have to stand in line all night in the rain!

and please dont stop with the leaks of details... its the only way I can make it through the day...

Bluetooth Headsets Back to Normal! WM6.1 a no no!

After flashing back to HTC's Official WM6 for the X7500 from WM6.1, everything is well now when it comes to the battery life of my bluetooth headsets.

Is the AP 4.0 will have the WM6.1? I hope the Team will still have the time to check this issue before the release.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
we will. our reputation is on the line and we have to live up to the hype. no worries details will still come. rom is coming tonight......2009 :P hehe just joking. it'll be here when its ready.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] toastedlogic:
Personally, I can't wait to see what the team has done with our g-sensor... ;D keep up the good work guys, you'll be gettin some love from me come payday.

Now if only HTC would just drop the damn x7510 already... ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
wow what a monumental night tonight is going to be, the new stargate movie is premiering on skyone and AP 4 might be released, im not sure I can handle the rush of excitement =)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AE:
I'm terribly hope that this ROM (in opposit to 3.0) will allow using Cyberon Voice Dialer.

Incompatibility with this software make me back to the original T-Mobile ROM after week of PK3.0 using. Unfortunately any other voice dialers (like MS one) are not an option because almost all my contacts are non-English :(...

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
I didn't mean to piss anyone off. It's just that I'm so keen on details that I just hate info that isn't info at all. But please, Pawel062, don't let silly old me spoil it for the others. I'M SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME! ;)

PS: I'm also exited to see some real info or screenshots. :D

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
maybe tomorrow
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
Nooooooooo!

He said 'soon' and soon was 7 minutes ago!

Besides, in some parts of the world today is tomorrow.

Or maybe yesterday.

Or last week.

I want and I want NOW :cry:

I haven't flashed a ROM since yesterday morning (I now have 6.1 Pro on my StrTrk which is pretty cool)

The team are all very lazy and not testing hard enough....

;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
hey man relax we have to wait.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
relax? RELAX????

How can I when I'm waiting for PK4?

My life will not be complete until I have it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
me too but we have no choise.only thing we can do is wait.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
No, we could organise mass demonstrations, bring the government down, invade the Isle of White.

Or something.

Or just post pointless messages here......
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miguel_acedo:
no, I am sure they are testing it very hard, that is why they don´t release it yet.

If they don´t test it properly we´ll end with a ROM full of bugs.

I know we are all waiting for the release of the new ROM, is like when we are waiting for the christmas presents, the first kiss, the first car and so on, remember that all of us are still childs the only that change is the price of the toy.

I am willing to waith as long as is necesary because I know the team is doing their best effort, and I asume we all can waith and nobody is going to die for waiting, unless you are waiting for an organ transplant.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
I know I know. As a protest we all refuse to use PK 4.0. Whenever it gets released. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] timpollard:
Good call... so, is it done yet?

Seriously guys, thank you for doing this, and thank you for testing it so that idiots like me can use it without (too much) fear of destroying our precious hardware. Donation on it's way (after pay day!), and many thanks again.

ROM Release

I say you keep under wraps until it is really really really done. Bluetooth has been my biggest stumbling block with my Advantage so it is near and dear to my heart. I would rather see the latest Bluetooth versions in it and working, than see the older versions in to just to get it out a few days early. Bluetooth is critical to this phone. Let's get it the love it deserves.

Aegeas
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Agreed 100000%.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
Uh huh. Now that I believe... not for a minute.

How about a more realistic protest -- we'll all wait at least 5 minutes to download it and then not post anything for at least 10 minutes. The suspense will just kill PK and the team! Now that will be sweet revenge!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
We'll have to clone the Team first, or we'll have no PK 5.0. In the mean time wgary lets flood T-Mo's customer service box telling them why we really need 3G speeds now since PK 4.0's so close to being released. Donations coming this Friday Team. Guys I can't say it anymore but keep up the good work, and thanks. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
3G speeds? Why would we want T-mobile to give us slower speeds than the great HSDPA speeds we get for ridiculously small sums of money now? ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
Showoff.... LOL, I wanna move. Atleast i'm not asking for much. :p
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
hehe the wait sucks doesnt it :p

sorry but not today :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marthynovak:
pretty nice.im very suprised.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tootallk2000:
Never fear, i'll save you!!!.... After pluging in the mini usb port into my Advantage and putting the opposite end on enthusio's tongue and tapping "send" he awakes (few volts for you).... Welcome back bud, just buckle up and continue your ride and AWAIT like we've all been doing. It's too late to pass on us now. Now if only I can get my GPS to locate Pawel's Advantage and do a quick swap that would be so nice... Hehehehe :rolleyes:

BTW love the splash. Oh 1 quick question, how's the power consumption compared to AP 3.0?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] enthusio:
Thanks buddy! Turns out I was entranced by the hypnotic new splash screen, fell forward, hit my head on my screen and imagined a white tunnel - Lol Better eat something to get my blood sugar up.!

AP TEAM! FOR THE LOVE OF ATHENA PLEASE KEEP FEEDING US SOME CRUMBS...!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
ROTFL!!!! You guys are too much. Thanks for helping make me laugh!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] enthusio:
WOW Pawel062 I nearly missed it!!!

Guys if you look at the splash screen in Pawel062's post, just un-focus your eyes and you can see the download link embedded in the picture - just to the bottom left of the small center circle!!

You guys & girls rock! Downloading now!!

Do I win a prize or something for noticing it first? Very cunning guys!:confused:

EDIT: Sorry my bad, turns out you have to click on the "S" in WINDOWS MOBILE.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
I have donated and therefore own your soul. How can you do this to me? Do you hate me that much? I'm going to have to go out and get myself a 'life' now - I've been trying to avoid that.

:(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Are you sure you want to do that? What if the second you step outside we release the ROM? Then what? And what if, even worse, when you get back the server/link is down and you're left to continue waiting? I think you should stay where you are and not move. Just keep your finger on F5 and hit it once every second. You don't want to miss such an event.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
DAMN. :mad:

Are there more people who are doing that? That's why the page is so slow at refreshing. Soon I won't be able to get it every second the way this is going. Well, time for bed anyway. I bet the sun will rise again maby the ROM will come too... :cool:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
lol. anyone notice that looks like the wm6.1 splash screen? well i didnt use that. i had to make that from scratch. started with just a black background. lots of work in that splash but as cmonex said, it was well worth it :p hmmm.... i have a evil idea.... watch for a new thread....

i dont kno if in this case, our emotion to see the new super child v 4, due how is percibed (long awaiting, people close to suicide, ...), will .create negative effect.

I guess that project that I have to bid on tomorrow can wait till NEVER. I'll just take the USB cable just incase. Man this is worst than bidding on ebay. I don't know what's worst, not having not other website to browse during down time or waiting on the ROM. I guess it's time to hit refresh again... lol

LOL
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
screenshots added to post 2. we would release today but we need 1 more day to test bt. we need to finish config app still. finish adding send button to dialer(this dialer seen in screenshots could be in addons or in rom depending how things go with adding send button to it). and also we need to fix a screen issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:

I find it funny when people take me seriously - coz I never do.

Except when I say I do appreciate all your hard work and am looking forward to a great ROM!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
i find it so funny how most of u all are all still online. :p wow this release has really sparked interest. the screenshots should spark more. btw that whole new white skin/interface is manila. all but the today screen app since theres still no stable/quick one :(

For all the Flash ROm Junkies

For all the Flashing Junkies, While you wait for Pk4; why not pick up an inexpensive Universal, Hermes or Kaiser. There are plenty of good WM6.1 Rom's to hold you over while we wait for PK4..Can't wait for PK4 myself, but until then I have been flashing my other devices with various wm6 and wm6.1 rom...The Hermes and Kasier can be picked up relatively cheap (refurb less than $150 USD).

Here are some screen shots of some of the Kasier, Hermes and Universal Rom images. (I am sure PK4 will be better tho)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] chaves:
Just wait...

Go to sleep, tomorrow is another day:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rorydaredkign:
did anyone notice how in the top tabs. opera is called htc.. does that mean its a real opera, like the real 9.5..

plus, is manilla aka touchflo 2 included, or have i misunderstood this, because i didnt see it in any of the screenshots. aaahhh... this stupid opera beta is good, but now bits really pissing me off.. this is the first post ive done on xda from my athena since i got it, so its only now that i notice how the arrows cant go between characters. it just makes the page move. how annoying..

you better release in the morning because im at school, and needing a new spl means no sd method.

Reminder why this thread was started...

This thread was started to recruit 2 spotters, a graphic artist and an audio expert for AP 4.0 ROM development. It has bacome a "4.0 watch" thread in the meantime.

Were the positions "formally" filled? Who has been added to the team? It would be nice to see a team roster so we can offer praise, thanks, and hopefully donation confirmations in the right place within the forums.

Just my $.02 (worth less every day compared to most other currency...)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
to be honest... NO. but im doing graphics. sounds well not too much there :p

i dont mind it turning into this. i might just get ltxda to change first post and title. for now lets just relax in here. i dont think too many people hate us hanging in here. atleast we dont have to worry about disconnections(msn) going from laptop/desktop to mobile(say irc or other im clients) and we get a good laugh.

Vueflo 2.0

Hey Pawel,

Just out of curiosity can you tell us just a little bit more about how well the vueflo orientation works? Is there a config menu included a la vueflo 1.0? Just curious if it works while you're in a program like opera or while writing an email, or if you have to be on the today screen for the orientation to change...? I would expect HTC to make it pretty basic like 1.0, but would be pleasantly surprised if there were a deep config menu with program exceptions etc. etc...

... Or maybe you've already given us way too much for one day.... ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wgary:
Screens look great, but I'm wondering, what about support for RealVGA? I am addicted to 128dpi...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] chaves:
Seems it´s like x7510...it change to portrait/landscape when you turn the device;)

And no menu of configuration...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] toastedlogic:
x7510

Yes, I understand how it works. I didn't get this device yesterday... :p

Has anyone here apart from the AP team actually seen the x7510 in action? I read about vueflo 2.0 in the HTC documentation/ad for the x7510, but I'm intrigued to see how well it works. What leads you to believe there is no config menu?

... I guess I'll wait and see ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] chaves:
Because i know;)

We have one x7510 in our forum, and did the comparation with x7500. There´s no configuration ménu of VueFlo!!!

There´s no VueFlo like in x7500, only works when you turn the device(not up and down like in x7550, but you turn and it change to portrait/landscape) like you do "rotate screen" with other aplication.

No soft keys and green/red keys, no joystick, no start menu and OK button:(

The good things are microdrive of 16GB and the new keyboard with vibration!
