[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
First of all IMHO they have to be considered BETA, AP4 and IRUS are final Beta, and AP5 is a "Technical Preview" .

I've tested at 192 and 128 DPI and I use the ATHENA as "second" phone, mainly as "mobile computer". I am very happy with my DASH latest 6.1 ROM as empowered PHONE :)

Ultra Lite (Taxist)

Great rom, fast, stable. SPL 3.5

CONS

1) No quickgps

2) No subdisplay

3) No powerpoint

and some other small things

Fix needed: .NET fix (check thread)

Application /Utility Changed

File explorer.... resco file (needs registration)

Images browsing.... resco image (needs registration)

Media Player.... Coreplayer

Start menu.... Quickmenu

Task manager.... Wisbar Lite

SIP..... Vgakey

Comm Manger.... WM6.1 standard

I've added:

HTC home all DPI

Schaps Advanced Config

Xnview (image editor)

Tom Tom

Memmaid

My registred Resco File Manager

Opera 9 Diamond

PocketRAR

PocketCM

.NET fix (check thread)

PRO

1) First time with ozVGA, no problems with my commonly used application, more controls than realvga, no 128 DPI

2) Fastest rom ever seen for ATHENA, lot of storage and memory, a ROM for Professional User!

AP4:

CONS

1) Needs a "special SPL" (3.5), fully contained in the setup file

2) Slow, something to fix, read the thread and AP4 WIKI.

3) Low in Free RAM and resources

4) No way (till now, cmonex is working) to flash back to the HTC original ROM or AP2. AP3 special edition or IRUS SPL 3.5 are the only alternate rom available if you have SPL 3.5

PRO

WM6.1, a very fresh build

Vueflo, the accelerometer turns the screen portrait/landscape just rotating it

Many utilities

IRUS 6.1

CONS

1) opening contacts in 128 DPI you have a blank page, the same bug is in the AP5 beta

2) Older WM6.1 build

3) Needs "tuning": missing HSDPA Icon, date/time in the upper bar too big, powersave disabled for connections, windows media has to be started at 192 DPI, unchecked the option "start in library" and apply ATHENA PRoject windows media player fix, to have it working in all resolutions.

The easiest way to solve many registry fix is is to install schaps advanced config

4) small keyboard

PRO

FAST, faster than AP4, very "responsive", more free memory and system resources,

Doesn't need "special SPL", easy to flashback to the HTC original ROM

There are FULL, LITE, and VANILLA releases

AP5:

It isn't a REAL beta, many things aren't working, Pawel will fix, but in this stage is just a technical preview, slow and buggy, nice DIAMOND graphic.

Promishing... No evaluation

I AM USING...

IRUS LITE, (I don't need many of the full preinstalled appz) plus

Quickmenu 2.7 (rotate screen and MANY utilities, beautiful in 128 DPI)

WKTASK xxx73c (latest, best task manager)

Diamond Commanager (using large blue buttons)

Dinarsoft memmaid

HTC Audio manager

HTC Home all DPIs

Oziexplorer

PocketCM (+ registry tweak to set it as default contact application)

Opera 9 latest build

Pocket Rar

REAL VGA

Resco explorer 2007 (+registry and ftp add in)

Resco keyboard pro (VGA fingertouch Kb)

Schaps advanced config

Today agenda (home screen plugin for planning)
