I'm using the full version and it all seems pretty smooth so far. Only my data connection for 'web n walk' refuse to connect. Wifi connects ok.

I guess I need the network settings wizard cab. Anyone know where to find it? I found these methods with my search but no cab.

@Irus,

My understanding is that the XIP in this rom (or should I say from the original wm6.1 it is based on) is not a wm6.1 XIP i beleive hdubli stated.

Can you use the new XIP tool to remove the XIP from AP4 and add it to this rom base to provide a AP4 based SPL Rom?

When I used ap3, if I turn on TouchFlo, then I can not use Chinese handwriting. I had to disable touchflo to use the Chinese handwriting. Such handicap occurred in all devices other than HTC. Nevertheless, such handicap has been cured by AP4. Since X7500 came to the world, there was no TouchFlo. Apparently, X7510 cure such handicap in Chinese handwriting. Probably, this maybe the famous x7510 feature.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
noooo, if you load ap4 on your a spl 1.2 it will start but every time you do a soft reset it will actually do a hard rest. im not exactly sure why but if cmonex is reading this maybe she could explain better :)

No, I did not explain myself. I have an athena with spl 3.5 (and also one with 1.2) I meant, can we take the XIP out of the AP4 as PAwel suggests and integrate with the Hdubli rom base and then load on an spl 3.5 based athena????
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
ok, problems 1 and 2 are fixed.

problem 4 is the app its self and i am attaching a cab with modified reg settings so you wont get the error, you just need to change the com port from 1 to 4.

problem 5 I tried it and it worked evertime but there was an error with .net cf 3.5 so that might have had something to do with it so try it again

problem 6 this is a shortcut in the windows folder named taskmgr that has an icon.

problem 3 not solved yet :(

Hi Irus,

I'm using the Full version and also have the blank contact problem as 3) above

Also (minor/cosmetic) the battery icon on the taskbar overlaps with the date on the Today screen. I know there's a reg hack somewhere to remove this but the settings seem different for WM6.1.

Thanks for this ROM. It is good. No lock ups or freezes so far. Tomtom, PocketBreeze, Ilauncher, PocketWeather, PlanMaker and TextMaker all running well for the last 24h.

BW,

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
You're fast!

I tried the new VisualGPSce cab on your first version of Vanilla ROM and that did not solve the problem, but I noted that com 1 and com 4 are completely missing in VisualGPSce. (I think the reason why I see com 8 but not com 4 is because my system\currentcontrolset uses com 8) I'm now going to install your new version of Vanilla and see if the problem go away. Do you know if I can do a sprite backup of the older vanilla and restore to the newer vanilla? (edit: no. its's not possible to restore. Have tried the SAFE and DEVICE restore options which did not work. ROM option would of course not work)

Edit: Just installed the second version of Vanilla. Tried to use the WP setting and it needs the pin number. I assume I can then change it later. What is the initial pin number irus? (okay see it now. Its's 1676)

As for VisualGPSac, com 1 is still missing. I have manually changed the com port to com 4. But the signal is very weak and unstable and I can't seem to get a fix. I'm going to try out the lite version next to see if this problem goes away. Cheers.

More edit: tried out lite as well as AP Touch. Noticed exactly the same situations in those ROMS too. So may be VisualGPSce always will give the message saying it can't initialise communication buffer and com 1 is always missing. So now I'm back to Vanilla second version, and the exploration continues...

Calculator is working now. WPSetting is working also. Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
if your gps is set to com 8 then the modified cab wont work i set the cab to work on com 4. also just make sure that quickgps is updated (you might already know that but i thought i would say it)

Panvita,

Does TouchFlo kills the audio feedack for touch screen and hardware button in AP4?

Does your Opera scrolling get screwed up when TouchFlo is activated?

Does your Window Media Player freezes when TouchFlo is active?

These are th FtouchFlo issues that prevented me from using I at all. I wonder are these issues present wth the AP4 ROM.

Irus, are you having the above three problems when FtouchFlo is actve?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Abram:
With the exception of the audio feedback (which I haven't tried), I experience none of the above and I have touchflo enabled at startup.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
to be honest i have this problem sometimes too i can transfer files on some devices but not others not sure why. i don't want to start messing around with new BT stack as i fear there might be more problems then solutions. the only thing i can suggest is maybe try to transfer files over wifi through ad-hoc .... i think you can do that although i have never tried
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] panvita:
Q1: Does TouchFlo kills the audio feedack for touch screen and hardware button in AP4?

A: I do not quite understand what you mean by "audio feedback for touch screen"? If you mean when I scroll up and down, the device shall make small sound like "da-da-da-----". If that is the audio feedback, AP4 does not kill the audio feedback". All hardware button including buttom 1 for camera, buttom 2 to activate Opera, and buttom 3 and buttom 3 for press and hold all function well.

Q2. Does your Opera scrolling get screwed up when TouchFlo is activated?

A: Oper scrolling function very well also make "da-da-da---" sound.

Q3. Does your Window Media Player freezes when TouchFlo is active?

A: WMP function very well, however, I mainly use TCPMP 0.72.

I did not find any fault with AP4, it is realiable as AP3. Deep thanks for AP4 Team members. Nonetheless, when I used AP3, I have to sacrefice by choosing between using Chinese handwriting input and TouchFlo. Now, they are happily marriaged.

Bluetooth stack

Hi Irus and compliment for the released rom and your avaiability to personalizing it!

I'm using the MBW150 from sonyericsson (actually produced by Fossil) together with smartwatchm from Moneytoo and I think it's an awoesome pair with the Athena which lacks vibration.

The problem is that it's commonly experienced that with WM6 systems (any radio) the watch batteries last no more than 12hrs while it is expected them to last 2 weeks. This makes the device actually not usable as it doesn't last even a workday. I flashed your very nice ROM and no joy, the problem is still there.

It's reporterd that the problem is solved with AP4 but at the moment I wouldn't upgrade to test it (it's an impressive work but no going back to original ROMs is quite a big issue).

What about porting bluetooth stack (RADIO should make no differences as I'm already using 1.57) from AP4 to your rom, maybe Vanilla? Do you think the AP team will share the knowledge?

Ps. I noticed that with your rom (I flashed the full) it happens the following two things

-No clock/media datas on the keyboard frame when the keyboard is attached back to athena (for me is an improvement as I never use it and it keeps the screen on for a bit longer draining bateries)

- No auto switch-on connecting the keyborad to the athena (this is a pity as it was useful to avoid pushing the on button and preserving it from malfunctioning)

Hope I've not missed the post and it has been already pointed out!

Few questions

Hi Irus,

Thanks for your work. This is much apreatiated.

I have Advantage HTC-X7500 with WM6 original ROM from HTC. I use several applications including RealVGA 128 dpi (mostly), HTC Home SPB Plus (ver 3), Resco Explorer, Resco Keyboard and some more.

I have some questions:

1. Why you are sending to SPL wrapper page for unlocking the device, instead of Oli's unlocking page.

2. My device is sim unlocked, so I assume, i need to make only first stage of unlocking procedure using unlocking tool (or wrapper tool ???).

3. Which HTC Home is in your ROM (or add-ons). I personally would like to have one like shown in AP4, but I am not sure if this is the one, and if it would work in 128 dpi.

4. What difference is between your version of rom and AP4 rom. Which is newer and what is the real difference. Of course one most important difference is that we can use another new roms after this one, while AP4 closes the gate, at least for now. But other differences ?

Tadeusz
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i personally don't like having the keyboard turn on when it is attached but i will look at that for you. as far as the BT stack goes, i would hope that in the intrests of the fourm pawel would be willing to share, i will talk with him and see what he says.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
2. just make sure that when you cid unlock that it does not repartition your device otherwise you can only use ap4, so make sure that its the right version

3. there is a vga version of htc home in the add-on but its not the new one as it takes up too much realestate

4. really its just the auto rotate
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Hi Irus,

Thanks for reply.

I have used Unlocker, ver 3.0. It worked perfectly on my Vista. No need to any changes in Vista setup. I did only firs stage. My device shows OLi's SPL ver. 1.20.

I wonder if there is any chance for having old version of Opera supllied with the original HTC WM6 for X7500. I personaly preffer classic version then this new beta with some bugs. I have installed the one which you have provided in your addons, on my WM6 and have seen that it does not show some pages properly. It has some problems with pages with frames, and most of all it is not working with vueFlow. Buy the way, is vueFlow in this 6.1 eddition?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
yes it is, the opera is beta so that might be part of the problem
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Hi,

You mean vueFlow is there, isn't it. And what about classic Opera?

And by the way, no link for donations?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Abram:
Go to Settings System KeyLock . There's a 3rd option (the middle chioce) to Lock buttons if device is locked.. That saved me from pressing the power button as I don't lock my device and it comes on when I attach the keyboard.

I hope this helps.

@Irus

I woild like to try the Autorotate funtion if possible.

Thanks once again for this ROM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
vueflow will work with IE and will work with opera 8.65.

as for donations, thanks for the offer but spend it on gadgets :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i will look into that some more :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I should correct the above statement. What actually happened was that there seems to be a file corruption causing WMP to freeze whenever I try to start it. This is regardless of whether TouchFlo is active. I reinstalled WMP and the problem is gone. A hard reset would defintely fix this too, but I was too lazy to do that, hence the WMP reinstall.

Edit: oops, the WMP that I reinstalled only occupies 1/4 of the screen. Does anyone have the WMP10 cab that would work with 92dpi?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
if you have a backup before the problem started then that might fix it but to answer your question i don't have wmp10
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
No need to after all. It occupies 1/4 of the screen only during the first start up. I went to option and "re-choose" the default skin, and now it occupies the full screen.:D

My backup was for the first version of Vanilla, which does not work for version 2.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Hi Irus,

Does it mean Opera 65 is built in the ROM and ver 9.5 is only as an add-on?

Thanks Irus, I will drink a big botle of good Zywiec beer for you

I am going to upload the ROM today. I will give you the info.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
I remember that there was the same problem with RealVGA in 128/96 dpi with WMP. This problem occured only in RealVGA v1.1. This is why I am using first release of RealVGA. Here I do not have this effect.

They were fithing with it and Pawel's teem has some cure for that, but I remeber that it was not working for me, that is why i returned to first realease of RealVGA.

Actualy I am installing RealVGA.ARM.cab, (which contains full setup, but with some files not properly prepared) and then ResPack96dpi.ARM.CAB and/or ResPack128dpi.ARM.cab. I do not install RealVGA_11.CAB which contains only settings (new once). In that way my WMP works with no problems. Of course my WM6 is in English, so I do not need any lauguage packs.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Actually I don't have this problem any more as per subsequent post. Thanksanyway for your suggestion. Cheers.

Irus, I love the new power metre that shows in single increment all the way to 100% before having the green joystick ring. Glad that it doesn't stop at 95%.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
glad to hear it but some times, for me anyways, it will only go to 95% it just depends on your batter ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I think from 90% onward,the battery metre will be correct only after a soft reset. I saw 96%, 97% etc,but did not realise that I was doing soft reset along the way, and that without the soft reset it would have just stayed at 90%, although the charging was actually still progressing towards 100.

Edit: it does continue to inch up without soft reset after all, but I can't pinpoint when it will happen and when it will not.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Report

Hi All,

And special thanks to Irus.

To start with, I have to say I am fool. Yes, I have uploaded many ROMs but this did not prevent me to forget about removing SIM card and SD card. So I started ROM upload with those two items in, and when I realized what is going to happen, i was paralyzed.

But then, guess what, this ROM upgrade procedure of Irus is foolproof:D. So nothing special happened. After few minutes, my Athena was ready to start, and it did start with now problems. Wonderful Starting screen and then Windows loading animation, as well as well known audio signal.

Then I had to set the system up. It took me whole Sunday. I have installed all the soft, I am using. Everything works and works faster then in WM6. I do not know if it is because of WM6.1, or simply because my system is new and free of rubbish in registry files.

However I have just done first backup in WM6.1. In old system it usually took well over half an hour. Now it took only few minutes. My last backup file in WM6 was 47 MB. My new backup file in WM6.1 is 31 MB, not a big difference for such a difference in time. Of course I have changed glyph cache for 32 KB, file system cache for 2KB and file system filter cache for 8 sectors, but this settings i had in old system as well. However, I wonder if this are the best settings.

My bluetooth headset (Jabra S320 stereo) starts much faster with this system then with old one. The same with WiFi. It starts and establishes the connection much faster, although I did not change the radio (1.50).

The only odds I have found are:

1. There is no original Opera which was in original HTC WM6. I have installed Opera 8.65, but this is not working with vueFlow. I wonder if anybody has the cab file for version of Opera which was with original HTC WM6.

2. There was only two themes to choose. Luckily I had copies of other themes so no big deal.

3. However I did not have original HTC theme supplied with HTC WM6, and it had also much nicer settings for dialer. The dialer in this system is... forget it. If anybody can supply HTC theme from original system, would be welcomed.

Edit: you can leave with it. Only need to have some time to get accustomed.

4. In contacts the default action for clicking the contact is to open memo, instead of placing a call. Also hard button now shows "New" instead of "Call". This is strange. I create one new account a day if any, but do several calls the same day and to place a call I have to click and wait for context menu. How this can be changed?

5. Ugly Comm Manager. I have changed it for the one I usulay use. I have attached it for others, as somebody asked me for it.

Overall. Great system, no hangups. Seems to be faster. And most of all, it instals with no problems, also if you are like me, not exactly following the rules. This are first impresions, but I have to say: Thanks to Irus.

By the way. If somebody can say something about AP4.0 Manilla Dialer, which is provided in Add-ons with AP4 package. Is it nicer, does it properly work in 128/96 dpi (I mean smart dialing option) ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
here is the opera 8.65 with vue flow and the htc default theme

http://rapidshare.com/files/114350207/opera_8.65_and_HTC_Default.tsk.exe.html

as far as the dialer goes i did not spend the time changing it cause most people use real vga and it come with its own dialer.... if you want a different one i can make a cab just let me know which one you want ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I like the green colored dialer with video call button more than the pink one.

Also,would be great if the secondary splash screen can cover the top and bottom in portrait soft reset. At present the top and bottom are white.

sub-display

first let me say thanks for a very very good work. your wm6.1 rom is great (i'm using the full version and loveing it).

i have a small quesation as for the sub-display. can it be as in the original HTC device (blue with white text) and not as in T-mobile (white with black text) ?

10x
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
yes i can when i get to work i will make a rom for you with that in there but by default i think its dard blue with light blue text..... i think
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Thanks for files. I have installed them but only half of joy.

1.

HTC theme for some reason did not change the dialer. It should, the size of the file shows that it has files not only to change Today screen. In old WM6 it usually informed that the dialer was going to be changed and that it needed reset. Now it did not do that. OK. Lets forget it. The dialer, its colors and shape are pretty good, even more visible in the sun. The problem with dialer is that it behaves in strange way in 128/96 dpi. When you dial digits/letters, it tries to select contacts for you (smart dialing). While in other dpi then 192, the section of the screen were the selected contacts are shown is up one row every time you use dialer. It means this section is moved up over the top edge of the screen, so you can not see them. They were trying to solve it in RealVGA forum, but as I know, didn't manage. That is why in RealVGA there is an option to switch ofF the dialer (HTC, custom or what ever) and revert to standard dialer supplied with WM6, but then you are loosing the video call option, as the standard dialer does not provide video call. If you could cope with it you would gain a title of hero.

2.

Opera is working well and is not asking for registration any more. This is OK. But vueFlo does not see it. In setup form of vueFlo, used to be special option to select browser, Opera or IE for association with. Now there is no such option, and vuFlo works fine with IE.

Up to now I am using custom dialer (in old WM6 it was HTC dialer, now it is yours) and do not bother about its odds, but if somebody could provide some solution, would be great. That is why I have asked about this Manila dialer. Maybe this is a solution?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i dont know about getting a different dialer to work in 128/96 but i will look into it. as for vueflo you need to change to 192 then you will be able to select opera then when you open opera it should work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
I already did it. There simply is no any selection filed to select Opera for asotiation with vueFlo. I mean in Settings | System | VueFlo.

In old WM6 there was special selection combobox were Opera or IE were to be selected. Now there is no such combobox at all.
