Speed and memory in SPL 3.5 verson?

Are the same of 1.2 spl version?

I will suggest to add schaps advanced configurator http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=317070
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
do you mean is the rom the same as the rom with spl 1.2? then the answer is yes. i dont want to cook that in as some people may not want it but if someone would like me to cook it in to the rom for them i will :)

Sorry, I've put part of the question in the Title and I've been to "cryptic" :).

I mean "speed and total amount of storage and programs free memory in IRUS WM 6.1, SPL 3.5 ROM, are the same as they are in the rom with spl 1.2?"

TO MODERATORS:

May we have this topic STICKY?

As ATHENA owners we haven't many ROMs to choose and this topic contains it in 6 different flawours!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] veethree:
Did some searching, but it only confused me more, so here's a n00b question, I'm afraid: what do I do to flash the new rom? Do I just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file? Why the reference in the first post to entering bootloader mode manually?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pantaloonie:
I agree this should be stickied. We wouldn't want to show any favouritism to the Athena Project Roms.

And Irus, set yourself up a paypal account to accept donations for your work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
first you need to cid unlock your device by going to the link up top. also if you bought your phone from tmobile or some one like that then you also need to sim unlock which you can also do from the link up at the top. do not install any rom with out cid and sim unlock. if you bought your phone on the web then it is most likly sim unlocked already but if your not sure then you should run all 3 parts of the unlocker when you can get from the link at the top of post 1. good luck if you have any more questions please ask we don't want anyone bricking there device ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
to my knowledge if you have spl 3.5 the most you can start out with is 120MB. on spl 1.2 you start out with 136MB
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
I really do appreciate the thought I will think about it :) in the mean time spend that money on gadgets like this bluetooth headset i just bought and i love soooo much

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] veethree:
Thanks Irus - I have been through these steps as I have AP4 on my device, but am still a novice. So now is it just a case of running that exe file? Great to have these extra options, thanks for the work!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
if you alread have ap4 then you don't need the link up top as your device is already CID unlocked :). just make sure that u pick a rom that is for spl 3.5 it should say spl 3.5 some where in the file name. but i must stress this point if you already have ap4 on your device then do not use the link at the top as it might mess something up
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :
Hi, i'm running Ap4 now, can somebody tell me if the new Vanilla-ROM for SPL3.5 is faster than Ap4? Does it have the auto-vueflo orientation too?

Hi Irus

Credit where credit is due, You Sir have done a first rate job of this thread. The rom tools are brilliant ( A good find ), Even I can get going, and I've had no rom cooking experience at all. I may try one of your roms too and take it out on the road with me.

Hello Irus,

i really would like to have an AP4 Vanilla ROM and only with a few things cooked in:

leaving in the reg tweaks

disabled non signed app warning

leaving in .net cf 3.5

leaving in vga comm. Manager

leaving in File diolog changer

leaving in Total Commander

leaving in Wktask v1.17

leaving in usbtopc.exe

leaving in automatic screen orientation.

It would be VERY kind of you if you can build such a rom!!!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Has any irus ROM users managed to get the WIMP working? I'm unable to get it to send out SMS message to the friend's SMS number, and am not able to get GPS fixed.

Another issue that I'm begining to think about is the fact that if the thief is to hard reset the phone, then all the settings (e.g. friend's SMS number) in the WIMP would be lost, so it would still be impossible to track the phone, although the program is not uninstalled.

Irus, can you give some pointer on how I can cook these settings into the ROM?

BTW, in place of WIMP, I've tested another product which is even better than WIMP. It is called Sprite Terminator. It has more functionality than WIMP, because you can send a SMS message to your lost phone to lock the phone, to erase the storage card, to change password, and even to hard reset the unit. Unfortuntely, I again could not get it to read the GPS data although the GPS data is already fully 3-D locked (with another program).

I get the feeling that GPS signal is not as strong and stable than in WM6.0. However, I'm not sure if this is the reason why both WIMP and Sprite Terminator are unable to receive GPS data.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
Some comments and suggestions

First comment (FULL Version, 128 DPI):

FAST, faster than AP3, MUCH faster than AP4. Using resco VGA finger touch keyboard I had big delays typing in AP4 (all fix installed). Now works as supposed.

Ftouchflo is fast and responsive too

Tom Tom is faster than in any other ATHENA ROM (frame rate)

Needs some "cosmetic" tuning.

Italian layout for date time the string in the top bar is too big and is covered from Wtask icon

Startup screens are.... ;). The beautiful Vista startup animation is sized only for landscape view, with a frightening white screen at the end

Suggestions:

WKTASK, the latest version xxx73c, works fine in my tests.

USBSETTING: great application to have microdrive seen as USB device. It seems better than USBTOPC. Attached

I am a quickmenu' user. it is really great, fast, has many built-in functions screen rotation, reset, and many other utilities Try it, it is the REAL mobile computing helper application Attached

PK2 kaiser commanager has 10 buttons, the 3g control, no scroll bar in landscape view. I changea the default to this one. Attached
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
To remove DATE/TIME in the topbar (depending from LOCAL settings it could be too big to fit)

Browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\

Delete the binary value named TBOpt (to have it again re-create and set its value to 13 00 00 00 ).

Save any unsaved document and power off/restart
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
well you beat me too it. i was thinking about the same thing. on a hard reset the only thing that you can do is send it a sms but only if your sim card is in there. if they replace your sim card then. there are some minor reg tweeks to put in your own imsi and friend's phone # i was trying to figure out the best way to do that. i might just try to build a config app that write to an xml file on the microdrive and update the config.txt and so the config app will have you enter in your imsi and your friends phone # and that way on hard reset. however the best way is to really just cook it into the hive. i can help you with that if you want just let me know and we can hop on irc and do it together. as far as WIMP not working in my testing i always got it working if i sent it a sms with $wimpxxxx put i never got it working if put in someone elses sim card. i will try the other app you suggested and will let u know. thanks for the heads up

In AP4, people complained that the sound is too loud even when sound setting is the softest. So there must be a way to make sound very very very soft for making phone calls without headset, right? This is the kind of mod that would make a ROM rock.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
The position is not an issue for me. It is actually quite good from my viewpoint.

This is about giving users the choice to use it in many different ways.

If it is not possible, then too bad. I'm hoping that some of you who are familiar with the registries might know what to change in order to make the incoming call volume during conversation to be made as low as possible.

HSDPA

Hi Irus

I'm very impressed with this rom and not found any serious bugs. One that I have noticed is the H (as in HSDPA) does not appear at the top, It showes 3g ok. Do you think this is just its not showing or could it be HSDPA isn't working? I'm aware that the H only shows when data trasfer is happening, haiving said that, it plays youtube very well and web pages load quick enough.

regards

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
It's working, just not showing it, I think.

Create this entry to bring it back:

The "information" aren't "incorrect". You have the buttons displayed on a transparent background, confused background,I agree, but all buttons are clearly readable and working. :)

Any comm manager found in XDA-DEVS should works in 192 DPI mode and could be installed. The only common problem is the "insufficient permission" message appearing when the installed version is OPEN

Why was so hard in your athena/irus ROM to install another comm manager?

screen rotation

Just noticed that in Vanilla SPL 3.5 the screen rotation (the one in HTC Home [the HTC_Home_VGA.cab from the Addons]) rotates the wrong way from portrait to landscape.

It goes to Landscape (left handed) rather then Landscape (right handed) which gives you an upside down screen when using the keyboard...

Would be great if this could be fixed in a next update !

Is there a workaround for now by changing any registry setting?

Thanks for your help!

Contacts

I think I may have found another bug. If you go into contacts and tap on a contact, it should show a summary of that contact. But on this rom it has a blank page, none of the persons details such as address ect dont show. I went back to hard reset and only sync'ed the contacts but still the same.

Jay
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
This bug was already reported in post number 26, item 3. This problem occurs in the contact application, phone dialing application.

Even if I use other third party program such as Vito Contact, the same screen is invoked and showing blanks too. These third party program somehow links to the stock contact application and inherit whatever errors this has.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
My apologies, I didn't mean to double report. I must confess not reading that far back, time is my biggest problem. however i've never seen this one before.

jay

Update: Ive installed mobile shell and the contact page in it is exactly the same, no summary page
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Irus,

It's confirmed. GPS is far less sensitive and probably partially broken in this ROM.

I just instaled PK Black Touch just for testing purposes. I am able to get both WIMP and Sprite Terminator to lock on the GPS VERY quickly with port 8 (in WIMP) and external GPS setting of software 8/hardware 4/auto. I've already timed and tested my iGO My Way, and it is confirmed that it is a lot faster, with much stronger signal stength, and higher accuracy with PK Black Touch. With irus ROM, Terminator has no chance of using the GPS data at all at the moment. I did'nt test WIMP under irus ROM.

VisualGPSce tells the same story - much faster and stronger signal under PK Black Touch then irus WM6.1.

I also noted that external GPS setting under PK Black Touch as these program and hardware ports:

(None)

Com 0

Com 1 to Com 9

Whereas in the external GPS setting of irus WM6.1, I recalled that some of the ports are missing (I need to install back irus ROM to confirm this. Can one of you check into this and let me know please?) I seem to recall that there was no "(None)", Com 0 and Com 1.

So, there are definitely something missing in the GPS components in the irus ROM.

Note that I'm using radio 1.57 in both cases.

Both ROM are able to get GPS lock with TOM TOM, iGO, Mobile Golf Scorer, although it is faster and with stronger signal in PK Black Touch.

We're very close to having a really good ROM. Just some tiny tiny wrinkle like this to iron out...
