Back to R3

Went from 1.88 SPL1.5 to 4.1SPL3.5 (via AP4 to change the SPL). Now gone back to R3 SPL3.5.

As always, I went straight into 96DPI, and found the following issues:

1. GSEN seemed to block access to HSDPA. Don't know why, but I couldn't get a data connection at all. Even without it enabled, HSDPA connection was iffy.

2. The built-in Opera displayed single column text pages in a HUGE font, making it unusable.

3. Both the built-in Opera and a freshly installed 1184 build had problems starting. Sometimes they'd start first time, but not re-open after closing, sometimes would open several times and sometimes not open even after a soft reset.

4. iContacts wouldn't start at all. The standard Contacts app ran fine, but showed no contacts - and I don't mean blank entries. The Contacts page of PocketBreeze displayed all my contacts OK, so they were there.

5. I use Calligrapher, the latest version that is stated to work on 6.1 (although I never had any issues on 6.1 with earlier Calligrapher versions) and it definitely had problems.

6. I had several freezes and had to reset about 10 times in 24 hours. That's not good.

7. As has everyone else, I had the threaded SMS problems.

I've gone back to R3 on SPL3.5 as I've already switched back and forth and don't wish to increase the risk of corrupting the bootloader.

Wow, now then I know using 96dpi had loads of fun.

NOt easy to be a chef. Before always config to 128dpi.

Now using 192dpi, seems there are many hidden unknown on different dpi.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
it sounds to me as if it's one of your programs causing the freezing/locking-ups. i have newsbreak installed to drive and it's in start menu and I have no such problems. I think should check your programs 1 by 1 to find which is causing it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
This explains why you never see the problem.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
firstly, did you hard reset after flash? it's always a good idea to do so.

1) GSen has nothing to do with data connection, so the problem your having there is not due to GSen being present or in use. had you entered your connection settings correctly? if you used the connection manager did you check to see if it was the right settings sent to your device?

2&3) I'm on spl1.2 so I got no built in opera, all the opera builds I've thrown at it works well according to the build. take note that if the rom comes with an opera build, you have to install (newer build, previous build) in the same place as the built in...you cannot have one in main memory and install another in SD or to the drive, I can only see problems in having them in different places.

I'm not sure why the huge fonts is a complaint: if you install vga version you have to turn down zoom, if install vga version then you have to turn up zoom and or change skin. all opera settings are in opera:config.

4&5) I don't use icontact or calligrapher so I can't comment on those.

6) a good practice is to restart your phone once a day no matter what phone but do especially PDAs. this benefits both phone and cell towers. really you don't have to restart your phone it's just good practice to do so. I always restart my phone after a full charge. 10 restarts in 24hrs is way over the top that means something was really wrong: this could stem from multiple places, it could be that it needed a hard reset after flash, it could be that a program you installed was causing this, it could be a bad flash. since I flashed this rom I've never had a freeze, still it should be expected that with any rom a user should expect at least 1 freeze.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] michyprima:
if you have prolems with 4.1 please continue using 4.0: i'll go back to previous build on 5.0 :)

Be patient...thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
thanks for the advice but the only problem I'm having with 4.1 is the threaded SMS (which is not really a problem just an inconvenience). with 4.0 I had all sorts of crashes with opera because the flash was included, it was so bad that I couldn't even post in the forum anymore. but no such problems with 4.1 spl1.2 I'm posting with opera right now and no crashes whatsoever.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] gloom:
or just disabling "threaded sms". Did that and could manage my sms

MiChy

I don't know what ROM to use. I thought R 4.1 was going to be it. But opera

just has to many troubles. I know every one likes Opera but I keep going back

to IE becuse of these troubles. Is there any way to disable Opera? Becuse I

don't want it to be my defult Flash Player or Browser. :confused:

Thanks for your help. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yup that's what I did. this is one of the reasons I like windows mobile because it's good that we can enable and disable these things.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] NuttyBuddy:
Are you for real ?

My 5 year old knows that. What I was saying is that if in IE and click on a

flash link it gos to Opera to play that flash file. This is bad.

Thanks for help

Also noticed that in 4.1 (spl 3.5) I can't select multiple emails (using shift plus up/down arrow) or by touch selection.

Michy, 4.1 is running fantastically fast and stable (no crashes or freezes at ALL!!), just fighting the opera and threaded SMS issues.

Also, if anyone wants to fix the date in the top menu bar being cut off a little bit, this reg edit fixes it:

This is something I have moaned about in all Michy's ROMs. Yesterday I found a Select Messages option from the menu that has an option of Several - my guess is that this is aimed at smaller devices and single handed operation. I would still like the Shift select to work, CTRL select works but requires a touch of the screen.

Who knows a Reg setting for this ?

Thank you

Hi Michy, I realy want to thank you for your hard work. I have been using your R4 for the past seven days. I find it the most stable and fast rom I have ever used on my Athena.

Just one minor comment, just try to resolve the video call issue that I reported earlier.

Thanks again buddy

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Relax. Registration is free. It is Mutou's newest ROM, with the newest ROM base. May be useful for the cook.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JonSlater:
Actually no, this time I didn't hard reset first. I was kinda in a hurry, having already flashed AP4 beforehand just to change the SPL.

1. I wouldn't have thought GSEN had anything to do with data connection either. However, with GSEN enabled (even with it not activated) I usually couldn't connect. Often the phone toggle was swapped (ie raio was on and system said it was off). When I disabled GSEN it all worked again. This behaviour was verified over several soft resets, so it is certain.

2. I always install important ("system"-type) programs to the device memory. Games etc I might stick on the card, so Opera was installed over the ROM-incuded version. The installer objected to that, by the way. No zoom setting affected it. It was very odd.

6. I have my X7500 cradled pretty much all day while I'm at work, so I don't have a "full charge" as such. I've never dome a daily reset - an "always on" device shouldn't need that. However, I haven't had any system hangs with R3, so hopefully that's sorted.

Also, last night I had similar issues with opera 1184 on R3. I'm thinking it's a memory issue as I've noticed my available RAM is much lower than it was on R1.88, with the same plugins etc.

This weekend, I'll try R4 SPL 3.5 and then R4.1 SPL1.5 - if I can be bothered switching SPLs AGAIN. If my Opera issues are being caused by installing over the top of a version in the ROM, then that might fix it. I'm not bothered by threaded SMS - the only ones I get on that SIM are from Three saying my internet top-up needs renewing!

Thank goodness for SPB Backup!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
Can anyone explain how to stop the orientation based auto-rotation enabled by GSen while keeping the "screen off when face down" feature?

Also, I'm not sure if this is the microdrive corruption issue that someone else mentioned, but I'm frequently seeing my microdrive get lost and then showing up renamed as "microdrive2" and another "microdrive" showing up with just my inbox folder (attachments I assume). I can resolve this temporarily by deleting the new microdrive using the built in file explorer and rebooting, but it keeps happening. I've had this happen occasionally with the SD cards if it isn't present when I reboot, but never with the microdrive. Thoughts?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Data connection problem in r4.1?

With R4.1, I often find opera browser pausing with a white screen when trying to connect to a web site. I have to manually disconnect the data connection in order to get the connection going again.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] galt:
Sometimes, but not often. Usually I can just reload the page a couple of times or close. Also the wifi reconnect is hit or miss, sometimes it pops right back up and sometimes it keeps trying but doesn't reconnect until I toggle wifi off and back on.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
I've been monitoring all MiChY speeding rom. I suspect there is something to do

with the program free memory. The current rom am using started with impressive

available memory, around 70MB. Along the way, it will drop to around 50MB and

even lower, randomly it may recover to about 60MB (this is ok) sadly not always.

The latest Task Manager V3.1, in the rom, should be fired! see attachment.

Every call I recieved, It is not clearing, that is holding up memory.

I'd tried Task Manager in AP4, not only it clears completely, even itself.

Also suspected Task Manager is not reporting all, just suspecting.

Tried to install other version over it but unsuccessful.

I believe if all his rom can have better memory management, most minor

issue won't happen. This I experienced, because after a hard reset,

it is back to its speedy state and program runs much better.

I am not saying 'must' always apply hard or soft reset.

The above was found using R4 0MB pp rom version.

Edit1:

After flash back to AP3 Dual, I discovered the Task Manager also

didn't clear the phone file. So this is not only MiChY rom.

Edit2:

While still in AP3, MP4 video works in WMP. On default state.

I got a two very strange problems on moving from 4.0 MiCHy to 4.1 MiCHy

i) on using opera, screen keeps rotating.

ii) 9/10 times connection to GPRS, 3G is failing.

Didn't had any of those problems in 4.0 , might have to revert back to 4.0 in case of no solution :( .

connection problem, seems to be resolved after 2-3 soft resets but opera rotating the screen is a big nuisance
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I don't think it can be resolved by soft resets.

I don't have opera rotating problem though.

I'm going to change the radio to 1.57 and see what happens.

Edit: Data connection problem is gone!

MiChY, looks like your ROM can only go with radio 1.57.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apap:
I've got radio 1.58 and I haven't had any problems connecting to gprs services/Internet.

Correction: I just realized that I had downgraded my rom before isntalling Michy 4.1 so that my radio is 1.45.00.00 not 1.58. Sorry for misleading you.

Question: if I upgrade to 1.57 and do a sprite reset will I be ok?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
not true I'm on radio 1.58 and no data problems unless the company is working the towers\etc
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Well, MiChY himself has said version 1.58 causes problem to him. I guess it must be true. Also, I trust what I experience personally.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Yes, after downgrading to 1.57, you can restore using sprite backup without problem.

Has made big difference to me.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] paranoid1288:
yes you are right, it was my early guess to say that it is fixed.

also when I try to turn of phone and then turn it on, connection manager, just hangs up :(

so what to do, move back to radio 1.57 or MiCHy 4.0 ?

I have tested version 4.0 and 4.1 and I have discovered that there is something different with the driver for the microdrive. When I use 4.0 I have periodically troubles accessing files.

Looking forward to your new ROM. Glad that you use radio 1.57 this time. Hope you use Opera 1184 and wm5torage 1.73. Noticed too that you're using the newest ROM base. Hope it's stable.

Anyway, I want to tell you that after changing my radio to 1.57 I've been extremely happy with R4.1. Strange thing is that even my threaded SMS works.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] michyprima:
good, really happy to hear that :D

I have to decide if put in flashplayer and opera, or not. If i'll decide yes, i'll include 1184 of course :D

For wm5torage too. However you can use usb to pc in the control panel for now :)

Hope that my R5 will be the best rom i have made :p
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I have installed wm5torage 1.73 over the cooked version. Did the same for sprite backup with my own version. Usb to pc has limitation doesn't it? It only let's you transfer to microdrive but not storage card. Irus ROM provided two programs- one for microdrive and another for storage card transfer. May be you could do the same in r5?

hi, i have an htc x7500 and the unit has developed a fault, the shop has offered to exchange the unit, they said I can have an AMEO and £150 cash or wait for them to get stock on the advantage. so the only question is, can i unlock the ameo and put this rom on it, it rocks! basically i just want to know if the ameo is the same as my htc x7500?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sachaa:
Yes, the Ameo is the same. Just the T-mobile branding. I have an Ameo from T-mobile which I have flashed many times without issue. Obviously, i completely unlocked it first.

Currently on r4 and it is fantastic.

had Gsenor on for a while but it did cause a little slow down until the novelty wore off and I toggled it off. Apart from that everything is great with one little oddment in that my phone keeps switching itself to vibrate mode. It doesnt do it all the time but it is noticeable. I have also been on 1.58 radio and have noticed that it can be a little flakey at times. At the moment it isnt pissing me off too much and I will probably wait until R5 before going to 1.57. I never used 1.57 but went straight to 1.58 from 1.50.
