[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miletb:
taxist,

Can we have one small update of your latest ultra-lite ROM?

I'm tried to make this myself but I only managed to make unstable ROM. I can provide you reg entries and files what we missing currently.

1) notification led DLL: nleddrvr.dll - without this DLL and few reg entries alert led does not work

2) allledmgr.dll - fix for explorer button led

3) gpsid_htc.dll/quickgps - gps intermediate driver fix for faster GPS lock

4) gsensor.dll + few files - gsensor support. if someone wants autorotation it will be possible with gsen additional software and all sensor based software will work

thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
miletb,

I am not Taxist :), but can help you with "4) gsensor support".

Please download file http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1805643/ATHE_GSensor.zip

(it was posted by Taxist on Russian forum).

Copy *.exe and *.dll files into Windows directory and import *.reg file.

After that you will have gsensor support. I am using Taxist's rom and can say that it works.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
Thanks for the Gsen links, i hadnt found all the files yet...does anyone know which roms Gsen will work in? If I copied the files over, would it work on the Irus Ultra Vanilla rom?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miletb:
Thanks Al936 - It works fine. These sensor dlls should work with any ROM.

I managed to fixup 1-3 issues with dll replacements - I will post them here as soon as I figure out correct nled dll. One that i'm tried was messed up boot - hard reset was required :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
miletb,

Some more things from Taxist for his latest ROM found on Russian forum:

1. Battery driver (http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1788286/battdrvr.zip).

It fix some things regarding battery charge level.

Just copy dll into Windows directory and soft reset.

I am using it - it is OK.

2. Fix for GPS (http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1787766/gpsid_HTC.dll).

Improve GPS fix time and add "GPS feature" for camera

Also copy dll into Windows directory and soft reset.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Can you also tell what caused the boot failure and the need for hard reset. I would prefer not to do that in the near future.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miletb:
Thanks Al936, i will try also battery fix - I had issues already :)

@lpsi2000

I tested multiple nled drivers in order to fix altert light and one of them caused lockup.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mietulok:
Hi

could you post some other link to the battery driver please? I have forgotten Russian and I can't download without registering and I can't understand a word in Russian.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] bravogee:
=maybe somebody out there can help us with this . . also an error notification pops out everytime i remove the usb connection. i noticed that inside the Taxist rom folder there are FIG files for ErrorBattery.fig & ErrorUSB.fig, are these files the fix for battery & USB issues? how do we use these files?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
Just rename SDMMC to Storage Card in SKTools

eagle 1,

If you are using SKTools you can just rename "SDMMC" to "Storage Card" and all your shortcuts starts working again

Start SKTools and pls do the following:

1. Click Tools

2. Click Settings

3. Find and click Storage Cards

4. Click SD Memory Card and replace SDMMC with Storage Card

5. Click Tools and then OK

After that your card will have the name as you like :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
eaglesteve,

1. No this ROM does not contain HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications

2. The speed is faster than WM6.0 stock ROM, it is faster than other roms.

It is not only my opinion. As you can see above Daniel_Kwon and yug555 reports the same.

3. Yes I tested GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI. All works fine. I am using my Advantage daily:

- GPS: navigation software at least twice per day - no problems with GPS

- Bluetooth: listening music with my Motorola S9 headset - the best results with this rom I have. Using stock rom i have problems - there were music short interruptions periodically. And i spent a lot of time trying to configure bluetooth to eliminate these interruptions but without success. In this rom no additional configurations required. Just run the player and listen the music

- WiFi: daily connect to my home WiFi access point to use internet - no problems

4. You could not uninstall big menu, russian coreplayer, etc. because they are in the ROM. But you can DISABLE them. I did the following:

- QuickMenu: i personally prefer to use Wisbar Advance 3. To disable QuickMenu I moved QuickMenu.lnk form Windows\Startup folder to another folder.

- Russian coreplayer: it is multilanguage software. you can configure it to use in English.

- HTC X-button: there is no HTC X-button in this rom. Instead Wisbar Lite is using for similar things (close app, etc). You can also disable it moving WisBarLite.lnk form Windows\Startup folder to another folder

5. ozVGA: personally I am using my Advantage only in 192 DPI. I configured the scroll bars to be a little thick. In it is OK for me

Hope answered all your questions.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
darkjedi,

Sorry, disagree. This is not "MAIN" issue.

You can activate MS uninstall software using the following registry modification (as taxist already wrote):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Remove Programs]

"Hide"=dword:00000001

Please change to : "Hide"=dword:0 and make soft reset.

And Remove Programs became available in Settings-System.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Al936,

Thanks for providing me with these info.

It's a pity that there is no HTC touchflo, as it is really really lovely to be able to use gesture to scroll through items on screens. Unfortunately I do not like Ftouchflo at all as it kills the sound and causes Opera to be non-functional.

Without the HTC touchflo, there is really no detectable difference between WM6 and 6.1, as far as user interface is concern, is there? The new pocket IE has no appeal to me.

I'd stick with my stock ROM for the time being as it is as fast as any other ROM I've tried so far and seems more stable than most of them, or as stable as the best.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
This is just another alternative ROM for SPL 3.5

Some general words about this Rom.

This Rom is one more alternative for these who have SPL 3.5 at the moment.

If somebody do not like it - it is their opinion. And they should decide to use it or not. However this rom bring us more possibilities to choose. And this is good.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
Taxist's UC compatible ROM made by Irus

There is mod of Taxist's rom. The mod is uc compliant and you can go to this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=371832

to create your own sdconfig.txt file.

The ROM author is Taxist. UC compliant functionality was added by Irus.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
did you try ap4 with spl 1.2. it has htc touchflo but i did not think that it worked that well... IMO

but i will look into adding it to my next rom
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Yes, I did. HTC touch worked very well there, if I remember correctly. The problem of that ROM is that I can't even get internet connection working. Can't remember the details of what the problems were, but they were fatal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i remember that now, yea i was going to take a look but i started working on a new projects :o sorry.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eagle 1:
I kinda like this rom, it is pretty fast. But I do have a few issues.

Biggest one, is I cannot get HTC Audio Manager to work after loading the cab. Tried two different cabs, that I know have worked on other Athena Roms. Haven't figured out how to change notepad app from Russian, but found out how to change Coreplayer to English

To change Coreplayer to English from Russian

Go to /Application/Data/Coreplayer and change the config.xml file to EN under language instead of RU, save file and Coreplayer is in English.

To add back the Uninstall Programs Icon or other Missing cpl's see below
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
glad you like it. im working on the rom for spl 1.2 but i have a LOT of work to do soooooooooo maybe a month from now. but of course it will also come in spl 3.5 ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Thanks for sharing, Taxist. Great Ultra Lite ROM.

Will be nicer if mms, HSDPA and video call available.

Also found the GPS fix is faster from cold start,

oh well shouldn't touch this, so subjective.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
doesn't support smartwatch

I have been using this rom. There are some issues to solve but looks efficient rom in front other 6.1. The most important issue I see is that doesn't support Smartwach from moneytoo, for me a basic program to use. I think is due some framework sw not existing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miletb:
I got .NET working properly - copy all files from attached zip into windows directory and import .reg file

This will fixup .NET issues - Taxist please include these files in ROM

smartwatch and other .NET applications that I'm tried works fine. There is a speedup in watch communication so we may expect increased battery life as some users reported in AP4/5.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apap:
Just decided to try it while waiting for the ap5 vanilla. My first impressions are very positive. The speed is the fastest I have ever had. Most of my apps seem to be working. I will report back when I have used it for a while.

Thanks for your offering what seems to be a good beta.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] taxist:
Thanks, I use it in next bild.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
taxist,

Seems like you're good at building lean and mean ROM, which is what many of us are looking for.

Could we get you to build one for spl 1.2, without ozVGA or quick menu? Would be very nice to include HTC touchflo and the new contact application.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tjwasiak:
I am also waiting for SPL1.2 version.

Perhaps you could make also an even lighter version without shareware applications? Maybe you can just make an add-on package for them, so users can install what they prefer?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] leoni1980:
I remember someone saying (it might have been midget1990) that having as many pre-installed programs as will fit into a ROM makes no difference to free memory, since the nk.nbf file will be the same size regardless, so that particular storage area cannot be utilised by the device.

If having applications built into a ROM saves using program memory that would be utilised by manual installs then surely you'll be worse off doing full CAB installs from scratch?

I don't mind a few unwanted programs lying about, so long as they're doing nothing - hell i've been using Windows long enough!

I seriously doubt that a vanilla ROM will be any faster than AP4/5, which comes with so many functional and finely tuned applications I don't really understand why you'd want to go vanilla, short of some chronic psychological tidiness issue.

Surely if you must go vanilla you can build one yourself with the ROM kitchen.

PK and the Athena project team have built a superb ROM which makes the Advantage a device to reckon with - something it certainly WASN'T to begin with: to me sacking this off for a completely vanilla ROM is a bit unnecessary.

Oh well, we're all different I suppose!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
I think that it depends on how stronge use you do of the device. In my case I see ap4 slow in certain times. I agree with you that best solution is each one cook his rom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miletb:
This is fastest ROM available for athena right now. Sergiopi recent tests also confirms this. It's not vanila that it makes faster. It's simple - I prefer to flash device directly from SD card and it's working great with SPL 3.5 and all current available ROMs

It takes just few minutes to flash AP4/5 or any ROM. I flashed AP5 beta and right after this ultralite. There is a vast increase of speed in this rom in display rendering speed - simple scrolling or application startup time is much better. I assume that if taxist fill this rom with pre-installed applications we will have same FAST and usable ROM. IRUS rom is also fast as this one - I used full version earlier but I prefer this one with refreshed OS core and increased sony bluetooth watch MBW-150 speed/battery life.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tjwasiak:
Perhaps I will try to "cook" Ultra light with SPL1.2 for myself. I am having some issues with my device, so for warranty purposes one way SPL3.5 update is not considerable :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
128 dpi

taxist

I have to say my eyes and fingers have troubles with 96 dpi. I have installed realvga and wisbar doesn't work now, but no problem

Should be possible you consider to leave out of the rom Ozvga for next releases? The rom is really amazing -fast, reliable, no special troubles..-
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
I agree, we are different, but if I rotate the screen and it is 100% faster (double speed) this isn't related to "how we feel". And I rotate it during my common usage :)

Opening opera, same release, same results, 100% faster starting, and I use Opera

Opening and scrolling \windows directory minimum lag and I use the file system.

Soft reset, much faster, and I soft reset my Athena :)

This is related to LESS applications? More room for XIP? Less active processes? Good cooking? I don't know, but if those are the results... WELCOME Lite!

This is a common Idea in many other device forum: gimme it FAST, I will load the appz I need! We are developers, not customers :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apap:
I agree with you on the experience of speed results. This Ultra Lite is the way the Advantage should function.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :
Hi,

this update ROM is great. Whole nbh-file is less than 50MB!

I like this!

VERY FAST!

Wifi working

Uninstall working

Keyboard is best thing ever

Windows-directory is opening without delay, there are only few files inside, really clean.

ozVGA working great, except small visible bug in Phone settings (last tab)

New CommManager style is great

Notification sounds disabled by default :)

Preinstalled Office without Powerpoint still inside :confused: (UL?)

All i need is HTC SIM Manager to get access to SIM Contacts to copy to Phone Memory and a installable working Dialpad. Does the Manila Addon Dialer work with this?

Newest Opera build working without problems with wifi and 3G Connection.

I'm happy

EDIT: Still don't know how to install SIM Manager, i tried the file from "All extracted HTC Apps" Thread but doesn't work. Smartdialing.cab from this thread messes up the dialpad.

Does anybody know a cab for VGA users?

With one word... FANTASTIC !!!!

I got almost depresive with that AP4....slow...full with crap... and no way back... i couldn't even get Garmin XT installed...

Not a single device of all i got worked so fast, so responsive

as my ameo with this rom. With all respect to the developers of other roms...

I like what I'm hearing, and am itching for a fast ROM like this. Taxist, Irus, Pawell, which of you will be the first to release a real real fast clean ROM on spl1.2?:) If you're unable to test because you're stuck on spl3.5 and unable to come back yet, I could help in the testing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apap:
Hello Taxist,

Now that you have us upgrading at a heafty pace....given your impressive rom, I have a couple of questions for you (or anybody else that can help):

1. Is the latest rom uc compliant (I have not yet taken advantage of uc but given the recent pace of upgrading I figure it might be worth my learning about how to do this)?

2. I have been under the impression that it is better to install my applications to the sd storage card in order to keep the main memory as unburdened as possible. Is this a good strategy?

Thanks for giving us a taste of the real potential of the advantage.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
No, it is NOT uc compliant yet.

phone trouble with contacts

is there any workaround with cntacts from the phone? the issue is if you push on a contact from the phone list it appears without information.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
You mean this problem also exist on this ROM? I thought it's a problem only for irus ROM and AP5.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
yes, blank and that's why i fall back to AP3(3.5).

Maybe older built, but works at every touch, speed

wise is blazing fast too. Not sure spl3.5 had any

thing to do that boast the speed. Abdolutely no lag,

lovely.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I would love to test it out myself to verify that the speed is faster in spl3.5, but since it is a one way street, I won't do it. :D. Hard to see how losing 20mb of available memory would speed up things though.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] :
I think it's because taxist cooked sim manager away. smartdialing isn't included too, so if we get a working cab it might work. I enabled sim-contacts to show with advanced config, but still no contact shown. Maybe it's really because of missing Sim Manager.

Yes, Rom is very very fast and visualization is also well done.

How do i set ozvga to a little lower dpi, i'd like something between oz- and sevga. Played with settings but no success
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Yeh, ozvga works beautifully with one of my favorite ware but too small and cant change to desired dpi.

Perhaps you may wish to install RealVGA.

FTouchflo sensitivity is much better than TouchFLO.

Simply install Opera 9.5 Build1123, then install FTouchFLO 1.41 Fixed (here in Forum) and FTouchFLO Config 0.9.

Start Opera, start FTOUCHFLO Config, select "Enable FTouchFLO", go to Exclusions tab and Tap&Hold in list. Select "Add program name...." and select Opera9.exe (opera must be running in background). Best you install newest Wktask (working) to switch between the tasks.
