I can assure you that it's not a lack of .NET CF 2.0 that's doing it. I'm using a combination .NET CF 1.0 SP3 + .NET CF 3.5 OEM folder, and Water Level 0.2 is working just fine for me.

I think the Loop Problem is fixed!!!!!

Hey irus, I was explaining the situation to cmonex and:

i will talk to her, did she say that it wrong for spl 1.2 or 3.5 or both
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
no, actually she didn't say.........now I'm wondering if she miss understood what I was saying....:confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
It is strange. I have cooked my own rom in Sogarth's kitchen and have the same loop problem. I did not mes with configs or other settings. Just removed some folders from OEM and SYS folders. I aem on 1.2 SPL.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
If I'm not wrong, the base ROM itself, before anything is done to it, is already causing some loop problem for SOME of us. I don't think it is due to anyting that you've done that causes the problem.

See post 31 here as an example:

And this user has spl3.5
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
im still trying to figure this out but its tough to do when my phone is not having the loop problem.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
I need a tester with spl 3.5 that is having a problem with customization loop, if thats you send me a pm, i only need one tester at this point
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
My issues with this ROM so far:

1) HR customization loop

2) netcf problems

3) can’t change ringtone/notification with built in changer

4) HSDPA/HSUPA doesn’t stick after soft reset (doesn’t apply to the 0 page pool rom)

There is a couple more that I can’t remember off the top of my head. probably not that important anyway.

1) I’m only aware of a “Fix” for the 1st problem which is to soft reset the device before the customization screen comes up.

2) no fix or work around so far.

3) use 3rd party application to change notifications (work around).

4) if you have spl 1.2 use the 0 page pool rom, for me it is much more stable than the release for spl 3.50. the spl 3.5 release gave me a lot of application errors all the time (cprog.exe, total commander, opera, etc) would just suddenly die, especially after I end 1 conversation of a conference call. the spl 1.2 0 page pool release is void of these application sudden deaths.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
SPL 3.5 ONLY

All i want to know is if the customization loop still happens. thanks for testing.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] poppey:
I'm so happy

Yes, its true.

I have sucessfully installed this rom, for spl1.2, and I didn't had the loop problem.:)

Also have installed 0Mb PP rom without loop problem.:)

What I have done ?

-run AthenaWrapper again

-run AthenaUnlocker again, but this time the 3 steps

-upgrade radio version from 1.50 to 1.57

-this time do the rom installation from PC ( always did from miniSD )

Does this make any sense to someone?

Thanks everyone and hope this info helps you.

edit: made the installation from miniSD and didn't had the loop problem also, so must be something else.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
glad to hear it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
this sounds really nice to my ears, I'll give it a try when I get home from work.

1 question though, how much total storage memory do you have? 143.79MB? or 144.04MB?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vidmabal:
Custumization loop is still present with this test version. (X7501)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] poppey:
144.04 Mb of total storage

You are sure that you have version spl 3.5?:confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vidmabal:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
cool, were you ever on spl 3.5? you had the loop problem before? I was on spl3.5 and had the loop problem, downgraded to spl1.2 and still have the loop problem, I also found out that I lost some storage memory too, now I only have 143.79MB.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] poppey:
One quick and maybe stupid question, but I need help:

Inside de addons folder there is another folder called "Extra".

What I do with that files? Copy them directly to the Athena windows folder?

I'm afraid about the answer, but please be pacient with me.:o

thanks,
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] poppey:
No, never been on spl3.5

Yes, only with sogarth/irus rom's.

it seems that downgrading makes lose some memory, don't remember where I read that.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
Good News/Bad News

1st. people who have tried to my latest spl 3.5 (post# 207) fix and is still getting the customizations loop should think about downgrading to spl 1.2 it is not mandatory as i will still put out spl 3.5 but i have had a couple people testing and they said it worked for them. so im not sure what is going on with all of this.

Good News, i am almost done with my new rom which is the same base but 0MB pp and all apps that were in sogarth's rom + some popular extras but i must stress none of it is active, no htc home, touchflo, or autorotate but all the files are in the rom so if you want it i have made cab files to activate that app, i did this so you will have more storage. more will be released in a couple of days

Bad News, i was out with some friends last night and i was walking to my car using my x7500 as i always do and the unthinkable happened, it dropped.. hard :(. there was a little pot hole and i stepped in it and fell :(. the phone it's self does not look that bad at all, as it was in the leather case, the screen is not cracked, there are just a few scratches on the left side but the phone will not turn on at all. I have tried two different batteries and no lights come on when i plug it in and i have tried different outlets. so i am not sure exactly what is wrong but im guessing that i will need to buy another one.

p.s. please if your on spl 3.5 please test (post# 207) so i know if it is working and also please let me know if you have x7500/x7501 thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
if you go from spl 1.2 to spl 3.5 then back to spl 1.2 then you only loose about 200KB
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
aww man, sorry to hear that, that happened to me one time not with this phone though. I was so pissed that it fell, the screen was screen wasn't broken though but there was a big ass dent on the side.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Ough.. sorry that it happened. Is it still within the warranty period? Let's hope the service centre can get it back runnung ASAP. But in any case this means downtime for a while....Let us know what the service centre guy says. Good luck.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Sorry to hear about your device but the same thing happened to me in a parking lot and ever since my Micro drive would not work properly and the bottom trip that hold the screen down was lifted up. The only difference my phone booted, but it took a while for it get any phone service. That occurred after pushed and pressed all 4 corners of the phone with my fingers. After that I used some Gorilla Glue to keep the metal part down onto the screen. It seems to be okay now but I have no trust on the Micro Drive.

Good luck and I hope it eventually comes to life.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:

I have yet to try any of your ROM's but I'm more than willing to donate a little something toward you getting a new phone dude. Setup something with PP and I'll send something. I'm sure others will be more than willing to do the favor too, as they've enjoyed your work. :)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mgozamy:
Hey Irus,

I am willing to help you as well man. you were of a great of help to all of us and I guess it is about time to show some appreciation
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
So sorry, willing to donate

Hi Irus,

I am very sorry for you, and I know what I am saying. I just lost my old athena a week ago. It is still working, but screen is badly broken and GPS is not alive.

I have used this as a pretext to move to X7510 thou.

However I was already offering you some donation months ago, but you said that I should better drink a beer for you. It was very generous of you and beer was very good, but now is another case, so please do not hesitate and give us some chance to help you as you were helping us all this time.

Edit:

In Poland we have a joke. Man prays every week in a church for main price in lottery. Once the big voice says from haven: but just give me a chance and buy a lottery ticket.

So just give us a chance, post your Paypal or other link.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Irus,

Sounds like its time for us to show our appreciation for all the good work you have done for the Athena folks. You have demosntrated a great and helpful spirit. So, please go ahead to set up your paypal so that we can give you some assistance to get a replacement.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
Yes, we miss your Athena, I will contribute for a new one, but please buy and OLD device and not the X7510 :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
Thanks for everyones support :) i will put a link to my paypal account when i release my latest rom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
I won't i like all the buttons and the dpad ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] patratel:
Is time to go forward !

In shops you won't find anymore x7500.

So...let's start to work on NEW HTC X7510.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Agree. I already got it. Its nice but needs some moding.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Please don't downgrade to 7510. You can't make ROM for us anymore if you do. There's no unlocker in 7510 anyway, so you also won't be able to make rom there. Let Olinex group cater to 7510 and you stick with the majority of us here.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i plan sticking with x7500 ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
That's the decision I would take too if I break my device.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Yes, I know it was not wise to go for X7510. It was more expansive, it is worse, but I hoped it will use less battery as it has this huge SSD instead of Microdrive.

And guess what. It is really pleasant to have such a big space, but my new Athena uses one battery in less then one day, and if hard using, it takes 12 hours. My old one would be happy for almost 2 days on one battery.

I do not know if I use this new one harder then the old one or what is going on.

Also this new one does not have GPS Photo working. All other issues can be solved but can't find solution for GPS Photo.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Thanks for this info. It surprises me that it uses more battery. Do you use hardware keyboard? I wonder if the hardware keyboard takes up more battery in order to give the feedback??
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Robson:
hey guys

this is a fantastic rom. some concerns though. i tried using real vga and thus opted for 96dpi. i noticed that the phone and the windows media player wouldn't come up when pressing the icons. i also tried using 128dpi, the signal notifications (today screen) disappeared...but you can now bring up the phone and wmp. anyone else having these issues?

cheers

Please help

Hi everybody

Can you please upload the file on Rapidshare again, it seems that the Rapidshare server has deleted it. I really need this ROM, so if you could do this it would be really helpful.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mietulok:
Hi

I have just flashed this rom and am really happy with it. I have a question, though. there's a thing in menu programms called "toggleautorotate". Whenever I press it, it says "autorotate disabled, resen in 3 sec". However, autorotate never works whether I click it or not. How can I enable autorotate if it is possible at all?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i don't have the file anymore send me the file and i will fix it :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] panvita:
Thank you, I will study.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:

I think i screwed up something in spl 3.5 that was the problem. i am fixing and uploading now give me about a half hour and for those of you who have spl 3.5 please try and give feedback i am sorry for this, i did not test the spl 3.5 :(

OK i think problem is fixed goto first post to try new spl 3.5
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
I have been looking at this ROM for a few hours too, I am not sure about reverting back. Let me provide some feedback on the above

1. cosmetic, but agreed

2. agreed since I don't use the others myself

3. this is a known issue with a lot of the ROMs where the ringtones were removed. Place a ringtone in the ringtone folder first then go to the phone pick that ringtone and voila you can now close it. I did not have this issue because that is the first thing I do after a hard reset.

4. I think you have to use wma or a wav file for # 3 first before trying to use the mp3. Since I don't use mp3 right now, I don't have this issue.

5. I believe there is another cab around here that actually works, I am not sure about the included one. Again I don't like the big top bar so I don't use it.

6. cosmetic, agreed. However, I like TouchFlo and installed it and the icon works for me.

7. yep known issue with previous ROM too.

8. were you looking for this while in 192 dpi, because it does not show with the other resolutions. I am still trying things with 128 dpi so I don't want switch right now. I will check it later.

9. I had the same issue when I tried to install realvga cab that came with the addon for this rom. However, I installed the one I had with no issues.

So far I don't see any the real reason for me to revert yet. All of my applications are working and this ROM is pretty quick.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
4. I've always been using mp3 without problem.

8. Yes, I'm using 192dpi. More accurately, I don't use realVGA now.

9. Did you try Resco file explorer 2008? I'm not sure if this ROM could accomodate it. I had no problem installing until after Resco File Explorer.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
8. okay, was the last Sogarth ROM had this working? I remember seeing it but I don't remember where. Too many ROM flashing:). I did a search and I came up with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=344319, is that what you are looking for...

9. Yes, I have no issues with any of the Resco product including the Explorer 2008 ver 7.03. However, I did not try it just from a cab because it is already installed on the PC. So I installed it via WMDC.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Yes, it is certainly spot on. I now know that it is "random access" that gives that alphabetical scroll bar. So, if I just install that cab I'd be fine. Thanks for this info.

As for Resco, I'm using the same version, but I install it from the cab files in my microdrive. They should not behave differently though. Wonder where has gone wrong.:confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Agreed, but since I had the issue with one the apps irus provided in the addon, it may have something to do with the ROM. Try downloading the cab from the resco's site to the SD. If still does not work, then try it via WMDC.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I did not use any of the cabs in the add-on yet. The resco file explorer cab that I used was extracted from the PC after initial exe files has been used.

In general, I do not go back to the PC to do any software installation, or even ROM installation for that matter.

If the ROM has difficulties installing any cab, then I think the solution need to be found rather than trying for a work around as I view this a significant weakness of the ROM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Agreed, the workaround is only to get you up and running until it is fixed.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Anyone knows how to get the nice Diamond looking menu of icons when you hit top right bar on the "E". It was introduced on AP5 then Sogarth original ROM. It provided pick list of notifications received (finger friendly) to choose from. I don't see it in this ROM and I don't know which cab provide to use to get it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
It is a resco problem, I have it with some other ROMs.

You have just to soft reset after resco installation!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Thanks. I'd give it another go.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fards:
how are you changing the pagepool, during cooking the rom or afterwards? If afterwards is there an easy way of working out the offset for midgets tool?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yup, the infinite loop is still there......

spl 3.5
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Sergiopi,

You have solved the problem of cab installation. Yes, if we soft reset immediately after Resco Explorer installation, there will be no issue whatsoever.

Now I'm back using this ROM again. Gee, it is so fast.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
:)

I've compared my ATHENA with tweaked sogarth BASE ROM with my son's DIAMOND tweaked rom... Touch scrolling and app launch are faster in Athena!

We need only a video driver, he has a really fast video management (20% faster than Athena)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Nice to hear that. If I simply use Irus's cab to toggle off auto-rotate, how far am I still from your tweaked speed? Could you describe in more details what tweaks you have found to have significant improvement on this ROM?

BTW, I would like to report that there has been ZERO bugs so far, once I realised that it was Resco File Explorer rather than the ROM itself that prevented me from installing cab files.

I have also edited my post number 23 to incorporate the solutions to the initial "problems".
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
I am not using the Vanilla ROM, I am using the base ROM, and I don't know the differences from the BASE ROM:

I killed biotouch , sapsettings services, increased, gliph, font, filesystem cache, (or just use memmaid, optimize for speed :) ), stopped unused services (HTCSENSOR Athena, Subdisplay)

To check the video memory speed I am using coreplayer and the same VGA DIVX matrix trailer posted in other 3Ds. I have with the first IRUS/TAXIST Rom a 93% framerate, before those tweaks I had 76% with the Slogarth base ROM, now I have 83% with this ROM. Not bad, but Diamond score is 107% :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Thanks for the info Sergiopi.

83% versus 76%. Quite an improvement I must say.

Well, services such as Subdisplay are already removed from this ROM so I suppose that's why this ROM is faster.

Anyway, I'd try doing the same and see if I could feel any further improvement. But I must complete all my installation first before coming to that.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Glad to see you back on this ROM:)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
ok i will go down the list

for number 1 & 6 has to do with reg enteries that i did not remove, i just thought it would be easier to keep it there and remove the files only

2 it did not take up that much space but i can remove from next version

3 & 4 you fixed

5. that is weird i tested the cab and it seemed to enlarge the start menu i will look at that

7. not really sure as i did not mess with that at all

8. fixed

9. fixed
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
if you soft reset be for the customizations start does that fix it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Irus,

Thanks for your response.

On item 2, the reason I think it's worthwhile removing them is that memory issue is very tricky when come to software keyboard. There is also an annoying long wait to toggle to a different keyboard. Mutou's ROM is very different in that we can change keyboard INSTANTLY with zero waiting time. He has even removed the standard keyboard. I thought it would be real nice if we can remove it but let anyone requiring it install the cab as add-on.

8. When you said "fixed", do you mean you've put back the random access cab into the ROM in your next version? I think it is sensible to do that, as taking it out just make the Contact application rather unattractive.

9. Again, when you said "fixed", do you mean that we would no longer need to reset after installing Resco File Explorer? In all other ROMs that I've tried, there has never been a need to reset after installing. This is the first time I encountered the problem with rather wierd and worrying message. It would make this ROM more perfect if it is fixed in your coming version.

Thanks again Irus for your excellent work, efficiency, and selfless contribution.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
sorry for the misunderstanding, when i said fixed i ment that you found out what the problem was.

Hi Irus

i have downloaded the rom from post 1 for spl 1.2.

The only problem is Irus Realvga app is refuse to install. Please help
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] panvita:
Thank you for your providing cmonex thread, after spent a lot of hard times, my device has finally come back to life, the process for using the mtty.exe and mac1.exe is very picky, they do not accept any usb cable other than the original cable. I restored to the factory rom first and then to AP Dual 3.0 in spl 1.2. I will give a nice try to your Sogarth base vanilla rom. But most important for me is to try whether backlight.exe can work faithfully because I have many apps requires that function. So far I only found AP4 preinstalled backlight.exe can work faithfully, and MiChY's wwe full rom does not preinstall backlight.exe, so that I can install AP4's backlight.exe, and can work faithfully. Irus, before I try your Sogarth base vanilla rom, can you tell me whether your backlight.exe can work faithfully or not. Thank you again for pointing me the right direction to cure Error [244]: Invalid Model ID.
