[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
READ everything before downloading please!

This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom

its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:

most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.

new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.

pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.

album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*

no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.

other things i dont remember

THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA

please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.

one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.

now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY

*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Pawel

Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cmonex:
dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that

p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Your answer has made my day. I look forward to tomorrow, and hope can contribute to the testing effort also. Thanks so much.

ssd upgrade?

will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?

EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh

Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?

Flashing With Microsd.....

hey all,

just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...

Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know);)

is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] atomicmanu:
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] bins:
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!

Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!

I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...

Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...

Will report more later...

Cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.

-------

In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras. :D

seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..

Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.

new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.

Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.

new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.

Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.

Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.

Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!

Overall vast improvement.

FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.

update, as typing had problem #1.

screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.

Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.

Testing AP5 BETA

I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.

Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.

Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.

Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] atomicmanu:
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working

I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.

Other softwares I tried and are working fine are

SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.

Thanks again for the ROM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Montecristo:
Thanks once again for your work.

New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.

New icon of 3g and bar of signal

It does not turn the single screen?

Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)

New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….

Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????:mad::mad::mad:

Bye!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] darkjedi:
The new build of Opera is working perfectly fine for me. *shrug*

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sanderh:
does wifi work standard on the ap5?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] the_frenchie:
very good rom

I've tested it, I love it.

some minor errors.

Connection Setup is not working well for the French network Orange. I do not know why.

Problem with windows media player: when I play a song, it displays that this song is no longer in this path.

Yesterday I had to restart my device because the screen was shifting between Today screen and program every seconds.

Got the well known dialler issue.

But, this rom is beautiful. The rotation of the screen works quite well, It is a pleasure.

Just a suggestion, Is there a way to stop the "auto screen flip" when a program is running? Actually I am thinking of TomTom. When I am driving, My screen flips everytime because of the vibration of my junk-car.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Brau0303:
this can be disabled two ways, thru the "Athena Config App" in settings\system, or you can toggle on the fly by mapping a button to vo.exe in the windows directory. push once to toggle on, push again to toggle off.

with regards to the not working ringtone, you can just use the standard file manager to set any MP3 to your rintone for you, it will then start working !

QuickGPS

any news about the quickgps

that not work with this rom
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] hdbueller:
I have never had problems with acquiring satellites, and I have never used quick GPS on any of my devices....it still finds sats quickly using TomTom 5,6,or 7. I usually remove it as it is an irritation with the repeat "notification" that it needs to update. It also works fine without it on Google maps too .....

Later
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AGDelaney:
You can of course disable the notification ...

QuickGPS - Menu - Options - untick "remind me when data expires"
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Re-loaded AP5 beta and first thing I tested GPS, applied usual setting, only this time I untick "Manage GPS automatically" fix in less than 15 sec.:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ice_coffee:
im sorry but quick GPS is truly excellent, I will get a TTFF of less than 60 secs (usually 30 ish) from a cold boot using quick GPS, and if you want me to prove it I will.

hi all

just upgraded to ap 5 from 4 as camera and wmp did n't work in ap4. Alas camera still fails to initalise and w media player still fall over when i tell it to read from the micro drive???

any suggestions

ta
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
So far no major issue on camera from ap3 to 5.

Suggest you hard reset immediately after flashing or reflash again.

Not forgetting to observe all basic precautions before flashing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] imaginarynumber:
did hard reset immediately- given that this happened in ap4 as well i wonder if i should downgrade radio???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
camera not related to radio rom, btw wats your camera issue?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Streaming Media only output audio no video viewing youtube, via wireless tested with both browser.

Using ActiveSync, both browser can surf, Streaming Media error in network.

CorePlayer and TCPMP both had no issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] imaginarynumber:
not sure- how do i check???

tnx

______________________________________edited- on grounds of stoooopidity______________________

if by issue you mean problem- after installing ap4 when i hit either the icon or the button I get an error message saying camera failed to initalise. now, post ap5, the hardware button does nothing but the software link still gives the error message. The button can't be faulty as it lets me into the boot loader. All was fine until I supercid(ed)/unlocked, spl(ed) to olipro 3.5 and ap(ed).

the only other issue is with media player throwing up an unknown error when i try to play via the library on the micro drive (happy to play from ram though). If i navigate to the file via file explorer then it works (on a track by track basis). Am going to delete the music from the micro drive to see if that helps
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] imaginarynumber:
ok- no issue with media player anymore. Wiped micro drive and reformatted and it is happy.

camera still effed though.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
If I have those problems like yours, I suggest you flash back to AP3 (SPL3.5) just to make sure all is working than flash AP5 again.

I am assuming all were working when you are using AP3 before.

Please go to this thread for AP3 (SPL3.5) Rom. Check your SPL version before next flashing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=397518

Also ensure you are using Windows XP with all protection disable.

Make sure SIM and memory card is removed from device.

Well, all rom flashing carries some risk. I won't know how much longer

my set will survive.

"If something can go wrong it will."
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Disable Large Start Menu, no more disappearing icon at Start Menu. :)

Comm Manager works very well without Pocket Informat.

Will flash back to Ap3 and Ap5, hopefully tomorrow.

Hi

If you on SPL 3.5 then try New 6.1 Rom from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=397864

Which is lighter and Clean rom. Also it is the fastest rom so far for Athena. Please check your spl before your download.

Good luck

Dear Pawel,

This is teh first time for me to post here. I have been using your AP3 for so long and I see it is an amazing rom, however I flashed the AP5 rom and found it amazing one despite of the few problems in it. I was just wondering when will you be able to release a final clean complete version of AP5.

Cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
We are feeling neglected here too :). If you don't think we will be getting a new beta build soon (next couple of days) then I will have to go back to AP4 until you come back to this side of town.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] GenghisKhent:
But should the Pawel clone be SPL 3.5 only or should we also include a SPL 1.2 version?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Just out of interest have you tried reassigning the button away from and back to the camera again, I had a similar problem using my Uni on the early 6.1 Roms. All i did was assigned the camera button to something else then back to the camera, then all worked well. I'm not saying it will on this one but its worth a try?

Just did a upgrade to this AP5. Have not really tried playing with it yet. But was trying to test out the spb backup 2.0. It hanged before even start backing up.

So like to check with those who are already using this rom, what backup s/w did you guys use? Can enlighten me please?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] imaginarynumber:
hi, I had a similar problem problem playing music from the micro drive- i could play the files via file explorer but not directly through media player. In the end I had to reformat the micro drive. Although this worked I don't understand why as disk check had found no problems and there were no issues with audio manager.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] [kaiwen]:
Some errors encounter

1. Encounter the following error when using "AppToDate"

"An error occurred while retrieving the 'Athena Config App' update. The update will not be installed."

2. For phone signal, so far I only see the "3G" and the "E" icon. When I change the band to GSM, the icon show the 2 arrow (like you doing a sync) with a "x" instead of a "G" icon. Is this suppose to be the way or am I missing something?

3. Have installed the vueflo cab file here. But the vueflo orientation only work once every time i did a soft reset. After which it doesn't work. The flip over to silent the ringer also doesn't work for me.

As for 3rd part s/w, so far I have only encounter prob with the following.

4. Spb pocket plus icons some doesn't show after soft reset.

5. Spb backup 2.0 doesn't work. Keep hanging the device.

Any advise on the above?

No problem with SPB Backup 2.0 here on AP5.0 Beta.

I have disabled the Manila dialer, TouchFlo and VueFlo.

Since then AP5 is running without big probs.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Even have to disable touchflo? What's the problem if you don't disable it?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MDA_Junkie:
Hi Eaglesteve,

i experienced problems with Phatpad 4.5 when i'm running touchflo.

Sometimes it seemed to me that IGO8 don't like touchflo and it definitely don't like the Manila dialer.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] [kaiwen]:
For TouchFlo and VueFlo, I have manage to disable that.

Have read about members mentioning about Manila dialer which causes prob.

How do you disable Manila dialer? Have been hunting around in the setting and programs. Did I missed anything?

There's no more sound for incoming call.... :'(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] crazy cat:
Try to uncheck "Close Programs before Backup" in the Settings. This should help.

Bye
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] [kaiwen]:
I need help. Now that the spb backup does work after unchecking the option of "Close Programs before Backup".

No ring when incoming call is still unsolved. On top of that, I experience that caller is hearing ringing when they call me. But my phone is not showing that there's incoming call. The worst is that it doesn't even show there's a missed call. This happen pretty often which resulted everyone is complaining about me not answering phone call....

I hope by disabling the manila dialer thing will help to resolve this. But how do I disable it? I m very desperate now... Have done a lot of hard reset and soft reset. Need help urgently please.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MDA_Junkie:
I've disabled the Manila dialer via RealVGA. There you have the option "Disable phoneskin". After ticking this option and a reset of your device, the Manila dialer is disabled.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] [kaiwen]:
Have tried that. But after the soft reset of my device, the option is still tick. :confused:

Does your device have any sound when there's a incoming call?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MDA_Junkie:
It's perfectly okay that the option is still ticked.

Yes of course there is my customized ringtone when a call comes in.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] [kaiwen]:
Ok Thanks for the assurance... Sorry me kind noob in this.... Really hope you don't mind.

I have put my ringtone into my storage card>my documents.

I went to start>setting>sounds and notification>notifications>

To set my ringtone accordingly. But there is still no sound for incoming call...

Am I setting it correctly?

BTW my incoming sms no prob... Got sound... Only with incoming call...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sabes143:
Hi

Phone to access the ringtones easily it should be in the root of the drive regardless Device memory or Storage card or Microdrive. Somebody correct me if I am wrong "If you place the ringtones other than root of the drives it will takes more time to access the ringtones". I read this some other forum a little while ago.

Good luck
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] MDA_Junkie:
Hi kaiwen,

I put my ringtones in the folder "\My Device\My Documents\My Ringtones" and never had have any troubles.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sabes143:

I beleive it takes 2 more seconds to play the ringtone( But it wil play from "\My Device\My Documents\My Ringtones" Or "\storagecard\my documents\my ringtones" . May be i am wrong. Try the root of the drives.

Good luck
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] [kaiwen]:
Thanks everyone for the input. Greatly appreciated.

Have done a few rounds of hard reset and re installation.

My problem was due to a software conflict. The culprit is spb pocket plus 4.0.2.

ringtones and manilla dialer

I think I've sorted the ringtone problem with the manilla dialer, Ie when the phone stops ringing and you bcant change the tone from default.

its been 5 days now and I haven't missed a call. but, and its a bigggg but, im not certain what I changed. I was playng around with the registry and the most likely candidate is hkcu/controlpanel/ but not sure what exactly, I did see a value the looked wrong.

if you're havbing the ringer issue then it might be worth having a dig through that part of the registry.

im off for a couple of weeks so not going to have a chance to hard reset to work it out.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Kain Goan:
Was just having a browse and saw this. I had the same problem with AP4.0. I too went through a couple of hard resets and found the only way to get SPB Pocket Plus 4.0.2 to work without making the device hang/very slow was to install it last. By that I mean that if I wanted to install it I would have to install anything else that messes at the same level as Pocket Plus FIRST, and the last thing to install would be Pocket Plus. Done that and now everything plays nicely with each other.
