Wow Can't Wait...

This ROM indeed adds to my Must-Patiently-Wait list

The stuff I'm eagerly waiting are:

1. This New ROM (Automatically On Top of course:))

2. Fpsece .10 (full speed PS1 emu, release date uncertain, rumored Sept or Oct)

3. Offline Wikipedia file for Pocket PC download (19 files to go:D)

I hope the ROM could run Fpsece 0.10 with no problems (the leaked and older version of fpsece works in current and older roms). If it does, playing Playstation games would rock on our 5' screens:)

Can I make a request, I mean if it's in the team's specialty, please update Athena USB hosting capabilities...The device can read thumb drives,works on usb keyboard and mouse and memory card readers, but having problems with powered devices in mass storage mode like digital cameras,high capacity flash drives,other phones,hard drive etc.

I think it can be done cause other devices with usb hosting capabilities, like XDA Flame and Toshiba G900 have no problem in connecting with digital cameras and hard drives. All three have PXA 270 processor so maybe tweaking the drivers could help. I have compiled available usb hosting/related drivers here (including Toshiba G900) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520338 hope the files could help....

Also please include the gamepad driver to the ROM from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=375407 which is working already...

Hope this request push through and thanks for the hard work. God bless

Any new news today? :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Working on three major bugs, testing some "things" and are hoping to have another internal build to test soon. If the next build goes well we'll release as a public beta and then start working with you guys on improvements.

BETA tester reporting for duty

Hi m8s,

Been a long time since the original ROM cookers came with something new. I would love to try the ROM and give my Athena a second (maybe fourth by now) chance at life. ;)

BETA today? Tomorrow? Please whisper me when you NEED a BETA tester...!

Greetz,

Mabury10
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ktdan1:
Its been a little more than 24 hours since our last update, How are things going? Any chance of a beta release before the weekend?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] LTxda:
Still testing and optimizing. Working on the bugs mentioned and testing some more. Remember, we have real jobs so we don't work on the ROM 24/7. hehehe, although I wish we could. :)

Updates will be posted as available...have no idea if we'll be able to release this weekend for public beta testing but I'm not saying no. If we can we'll get it done...just have to see what our wives and jobs allow of us. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:

This thread started in Nov. A few days back I got excited because of a new ROM due 'very soon'. My 7501 is new to me, new ROMs for the Kaiser are not.

I don't post often.

I wait, listen, hope to learn and provide any info,/assistance I can.

I've waited longer for the US 3G TP2 than I have for this new Athena 7501 ROM.

At least At&t does not make any 'pending statements'....

But what do I know?.....I'm a n00b and I'm starting to feel like a real dummy....

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fire_z:
Gee...

Guess my request is not yet possible...for now...just hope in future builds the team could consider updating USB host drivers and adding the USB gamepad driver...:rolleyes:

Anyway if the ROM looks nicer, faster and better than last ROMs, it's good enough:)

Hi I have a x7510 and hope you have us in mind for the goodies? Just wanted to give my support to the project...If you need a 7510 beta tester...let me know :) I've been away for sometime and I am happy to see that things are still moving forward...

Cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jaxboater:
Maybe not a good idea flashing a 7501 ROM to a 7510 device.

Just my 10 Yen worth...

But back to what I was saying before....

Tilt / Kaiser / *950 ROMs were fast and furious. a bunch of Chiefs jammmg...

But no silly teasers...

just my 10 Pesos worth....

7510 replies

Thanks for your replies people. We're working out a few things and will be contacting those that replied offering help shortly. Again, we have wives, work, families, etc. so sometimes things don't always come immediately. :)

We are testing another internal build in the next 2-3 days and should be good for a public beta shortly thereafter.

In case you're wondering, I really like my Athena again after testing these new ROMs. Making me think about going back to my Athena as my primary device. We can't wait to share this with you guys and get some feedback so we can improve it. :D

Official Update 08.24.09 pm...

AstainHellbring is doing a great job of fitting in some cooking time into his busy real life. :)

Bug 1 of 3 resolved and moving on to bug 2 of 3. We should have another internal build to flash tonight/tomorrow for further testing and if things go smoothly and people at work don't bother us too much we might....I SAID MIGHT DAMMIT...LOL, have a public release this coming weekend or early week.

Thank you all for your continued support, donations and elbow room. Sometimes our wives don't understand why we do what we do. :cool:

EDIT: Oh, one more thing...we're going to try to work in the other USB host stuff some of you requested in a second release...so that's not a no, it's a we need to get a few things out of the way then give it a try. Let's see if it plays nicely with the Athena. :)

The last news I know of on IRC was that they were working on the last bug before they could release. An ETA could not be given.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ktdan1:
How is it coming any NEWS!?!?!?!?!?!? :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AstainHellbring:
Hey guys sorry for the quiet time. Been trying to work though a bug with some auto installer pieces I'm cooking as hard as I can today so I can get a hopeful RC to the internal beta testers get feedback and as soon as feedbacks gotten and fixes made we hope to have a release. Its getting closer and thanks for your patience. Anyone that wants, please feel free to donate to the project Donate to Athena Redux Project here

Also as a side note, anyone wanting updates done for the usb host side of things, please espically send a donation so that I can get a 4 in 1 cable to test that with. Thanks guys and keep the excitement going!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
glad to. thanks for your work :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fire_z:
go go go for USB host update...

It's nice to know that there are others that are eager for an update and willing to donate for the development of the USB Host update...

I know there are still more who want the Athena to be more compatible with most storage drives, especially digital cameras and smartphones (and other powered devices) in storage mode, with external HDDs (or even external cd disc drive) and with large flash storages.

For so long, we have been yearning for an optimized ATI graphic driver and unfortunately, it may not happen (not saying never though:rolleyes:). But there are still other Athena key features that are worth updating, like the USB host drivers (I believe updating the host drivers is "easier" than making an optimized ATI driver).

So please,for those who are willing, let us donate for the development for this ROM...Yup, It's better to see an Athena ROM with a nice UI, stable build and faster responses, but it is undoubtedly great to see that underneath all of these improvements come also hardware/driver improvements like update on the host drivers, an optimized ATI graphic driver and maybe a Compact Flash driver to replace the MicroDrive...

Donate, hope for the best, give BIG thanks to the developers... and bring Athena back to LIFE
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ktdan1:
Hows it going any new updates? :)

athena the romless one...

have no idea if we'll be able to release this weekend for public beta testing........

maybe the weekend he said is in 2011 not in 2009......

we are all hungry for a new rom, if this is a beta rom ok maybe there will be a bug or two or three, so what ?

it is still a beta, we need a new rom.......

let us try this one and you can still work on it and release in a month or two something more stable...

thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] RottenRay:
More than happy to wait - yeah, right!

It's your work and I think we all appreciate the effort involved...I can only speak for myself when I say that the builders are the ones who decide when it's ready...although I'm wearing down my F5 key.:)

An official update from our hard working developers will be refreshing, even if they tell us to wait another three months. This will keep us from coming back here and posting questions which can sometimes be irritating to our cooks.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wovens:
Are we there yet?:p

This is tantalizing! I guess if we were not here yearning for it, pleading for solutions, there was no point in them posting anything if it would not serve the community. At least they have a group of supporters jumping up and down and shaking their pompons and flags, waiting to see them cross the line!:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnripper:
This rom will be released whit the ps3 modchip.

Let's face it there will be no rom....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] YOSEFE:
This has been a very very long wait as the originally promised three days have now become nearly a month; and other ROMS based on WM6.5 are already running on our Athenas.

Hopefully the ROM will still come as it is a promise to the community.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AstainHellbring:
Uhm where was the three days promised? I'll let you know this much i am working on it trying to instead of release random crap release a tested rom that will have far less bugs than anything else out there. It is definately really close just wait a bit more and it will be there, trust me its worth the wait for a good rom
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fire_z:
Still waiting....

Thanks for taking time reassuring that the development is still alive:)

Take your time, if it's gonna be the greatest ROM in town, it's worth the wait.:)

Elite Team Athena Redux Rom

Greets folks,

This is a great rom, the team has worked very hard to build the best rom possible, I am running the currnet build and it may not have some of the fluff of the 2304x builds it looks great, is fast and very stable. I am sure you will enjoy this rom :) More to follow..

Cheers

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fire_z:
hey brau

any screenshots of the test rom

or a quick list of noticeable improvements in the ROM as whole you would like to report err share us:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Brau0303:
Observations... & Thoughts

Well the team has focused on keeping the rom clean fast and stable as outlined by LTxda in the lead page of this thread. what does that really mean to me you may ask. my thought is that a rom needs to be usable above all else. on this rom I have been able to install all my must have apps and have them work reliably, I can enjoy the good and finger friendly goodness of a wm 6.5 rom, I can use this rom to teather my laptop without issues. last nite i was at a friends party and someone wanted to show off a web based video, they asked me to use my Athena to do this, we did and there was much laughter and guess what, it simply worked as expected!

**Please note, I use my device in the 192dpi default screen resolution because that is my preference, Real VGA is there for you to use your preferred screen res and it works, so you can make yours** My usage observations are based on this usage.

Cheers

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jaxboater:
oh, well.......

my last post in this tread appears to be almost taken as a silly comment by some,,,,

I have never seen a ROM take almost 10 months to cook without at least a public beta release.....

I don't mind waiting - but I'm not going to sit here and stroke someone's ego for naught.

I too have a job and family - but do not lead anyone on with teases.

just my last 7 cents worth..............

This is exactly what i'm looking for. Something that just works. I can't thank you and all of xda-developers cookers and testers for the work you put in to bring us great roms and extend the life of our devices long past what is supported by the company that put out the device. I have been looking forward to switching to a WM6.5 rom and I can only hope this will be what i'm looking for.

This ROM is more and more starting to look like my husband's idea of redecorating - he's done the dining room over and over to get a tiny flaw out of it till the tiny flaw got bigger and bigger and bigger! By then he had such a problem that he could not dig himself out of the hole he was in. Perfectionism sometimes get you nowhere. Look at Microsoft for example, if they kept all their OSes off people's beta testing hands, they would be still holding back Windows 3.1 and would be bankrupt. Nothing can be perfect. 100% error free anything is an impossibility. Imperfection moves the world. I for one stopped waiting for my husband to finish the dining room. If the analogy fits....:) you are welcome to wear it :D. I for one started to accept my device for what it is and am happy with the ROM in it. It will never be a Ferrari or an Audi but I am happy with it being a Toyota. We spend so much time tweaking that there is no time left to actually enjoying it and letting the hair down. Life is too short and the is a beach out there.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AstainHellbring:
So an update eh? How about a public beta? Sorry you all have been waiting so long, there has been much going on in the world of athena on our end and much more in testing. One thing we worked hard on is a true 6.1 NK.exe the ONLY rom anywhere that will have that, a work done by the hardworking cmonex herself. To download go here: http://eliteteam.htc-hackers.mobi/pub/AthenaProjectRedux/ Download the nbh and the wrapper. If you'd like to there is also the pagepool app that you can play with pagepool settings. Please all download play with it and see what you think. Thank you for your support and patience

6.1 NK.exe

I may sound like a n00b but what is a "6.1 NK.exe" ??
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mietulok:
Is this spl 3.5 or 1.2?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Which is the pagepool of the beta offered?

Many thanks for your effort:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] xtep:
In few words, NK.exe can be considered as the kernel of wm. But I think that he wants to say 6.5 because as far as I understand all ROMs with SPL 3.5 have a 6.1 kernel (based on x7510 one).

Another question: can I flash this ROM on a x7510 or is only for x750x?

A big THANK YOU from me and I suspect many others who have been waiting patiently (and some not quite so patiently??).

Are the install instruction for this the same as previous? Is it SPL 3.5 or 1.2?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] retroqwe:
windows 7

this may be posted somewhere else but in case you are using windows 7 to flash your device it will fail on first attempt.

as soon as the athena goes to bootldr screen windows has no idea what it is and then searches and installs some additional drivers, while this is going on the upgrade process will fail.

simple wait for windows 7 to correctly install the new drivers, leave the athena on the usb bootldr screen and then re-run the flash wrapper application. enjoy.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wsayed:
Thank you for the update. Just one question; is this rom flashable through the SD method?

Cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Brau0303:
This Rom is for SPL 3.5 only, The PagePool should be 16mb, but as Astain said there is a tool you can get with the rom that you can use to modify the PP size (Several PP sizes were tested and 16mb seemed to work the best) Enjoy :)

Is a 1.2 SPL on the cards, or do we have to flash with previous Athena team release to u/g to 3.5 to enjoy fruits of this labour?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Brau0303:
I am not aware of any plans to release a spl1.2 version, sorry.

I checked on the possibility of SD flashing and we have not tested this method (on this rom series) so it is not considered a supported flashing method at this time.

Make a Hardreset after Flashing. there could be old system files there too, which can make trouble.

i made a sd-card flash without problems...

its a 23016build of WM6.5 with titanium

speed is ok but there are faster builds available.

bootscreen changed after install

Screen rotation is active (WOW nice feature)

Battery icon in right upper corner next to clock.

xbutton is working but there are still some displaybugs there

office mobile included.

so far nice and smooth running rom!!! THX elite Team

one bug i found in last 30mins of testing. if i shutdown the rom with pressing 3 secs the power button there is a message window popping up which only says yes or no! theres no message in the window.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AstainHellbring:
No the spl 3.5 is a 6.0 kernel from x7500 that was hacked to allow for x7510 spl info. THis was a new hack that was the x7510 kernel that was hacked to allow buttons from 7500.

In theory this should be flashable from x7510 as well and should support all x7510 features as well. I didnt hear back from my testers so please try this out. If you have issues flashing please PM me and I will get you a version that will for sure flash. Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AstainHellbring:
To let everyone know there is no plans for a 1.2 spl release. I would recommend to everyone that they upgrade to the 3.5 spl far better system. This rom will not flash to a 1.2 spl phone so should protect from flash issues.
