good rom

I have to say after hours working with it that this rom is very good in terms of battery, performance and bluetooth (MBW150 and JabraBT8010) works.

There are troubles with menu -I don¡t like the new ones- and lack of some programs but definitively for me is the best.

Updated WM 6.5 ROM from Taxist:

http://ifolder.ru/10630941

Pls be careful with lock screen :) After locking you can exit only doing soft reset
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
can you post other link? that russian page is getting me crazy "no authorized"...

do you mean changed the windows version on previous taxist rom?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] larsuck:
First Impressions

First off taxist, thank you and congratulations for posting the first 6.5 ROM for Athena. Things like this really make me glad I am a member here.

Even though it is a "test only" ROM, it isn't bad at all. I'd like to give my impressions of the ROM so that people who are thinking about flashing this have a good idea of what they are getting into.

Included Programs:

It is a clean ROM, as was stated before.

Only the default Microsoft programs are included. Office only has Excel and Word. New 6.5 programs My Phone and Outlook Live are included.

PIE is the new build with the four buttons at the bottom and the scroll zoom. Unfortunately, for some reason the menus seem to be in Chinese. Is anyone else seeing this? Browsing and rendering however is good - on par with the new Iris Browser, NetFront 3.5 and Opera 9.5.

Bling:

If you don't know what's in 6.5, you should read about it in more detail somewhere else. And don't expect much. It is still very much WM6. Here, I will just comment on a couple of factors specific to this ROM.

The X and OK buttons still suck. They were fugly to begin with, and look to have been extracted from a QVGA ROM on top of that.

The Titanium (new Today screen) icons, the scrollbars, and possibly the wait icon look to have been ripped from a QVGA ROM and are pixelated.

Titanium works and all the buttons and menus seem to point to the right programs and folders. (I can't help but think how nice Titanium would be with a jogdial like the Hermes.)

The animation switching between programs is annoying because it doesn't work right. (See previous post on how to disable this and speed up the system.)

The finger-friendly lists and menus almost seem like overkill on the Athena's 5" screen.

The honeycomb is laggy and isn't really necessary considering the 5" screen.

Usage:

It is fairly fast, not the fastest I have used (Michy's 4.1), but up there. Screen presses produce results almost immediately, and most programs open with little to no wait.

Programs install and uninstall easily and quickly.

All programs I have tried so far (lots of SPB stuff, Japanese fonts and IME, etc. etc.) have installed no problem. However, some legacy programs (PHM RegEdit for example) have problems with the new scrollbars. Scrollbars also don't show up when the length of the scrollbar is very short.

Universal finger-scrolling is nice and very smooth, but it takes away the option to highlight multiple items / text in many programs.

It automatically suspends itself after a soft reset, even if it is being used.

Misc:

That bird scares me.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Pardon me, may I know what bird ? that scares you.

Is this a English rom, just a final comfirmation before I switch. Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Ather:
lmfao, it scared me too the first time i saw it :eek: :p

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Hey buddies with x7500, this is a clean and working rom.

Just DO NOT press device lock, to get out apply hard reset.

Had been awhile not flashing, I forgot to remove the memory card

and SIM card. But nothing went wrong after flashing. Guess they

had did something for noobs like me.

So far, am very happy with it speed and especially the Task

manager. It really managed the tasks very well.

Battery monitor even better, they had added in voltage and

up time. Execellent to monitor actual battery status.

Two software that I must have, Mobile Invoice and Mapking7,

and both works perfectly. GPS fix were quick too.

Tested mail only.

All works well, remember to tick boxes in

Tools/Manage Folders...otherwise NO sent copies.

Internet Explorer has improved but not as

fluid as Opera when scrolling.

Just remember DO NOT lock the device!

Or do a full backup to save the trouble.

I'm having Radio version 1.58.

Wifi and GPRS works very well.

My data plan 10MB, before max only at 7MB,

now I get max transfer at 10MB during

Internet Sharing activites.

Softwares installed and working fine,

JS Advance Configuration Tool 3.3,

TCMP v0.72RC1, Spb backup2 and Diary2, MemMaid,

Network Wizard, WorkBook and PocketXpdf.

Many THANKS to taxist (intro), gtm55 (link),

and all buddies encouragements.:)

Well, to those wanted to try it,

please do not expect everything to be speedy.

Its just a test rom and already very stable.

Waiting patiently for the final release for

my dear Athena, if available.

Quick update:

Whole day in field using and no hang or freeze at all!

with the above mentioned softwares, so far.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
I would say Soft reset, not hard one
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
it turns out it needed roughly 2 soft resets in order to operate properly. it looks good. looking forward to updated releases. I hope microsoft increase the fluidity of the UI in later builds.

does outlook live work for anyone? I get a continuous loading progress bar. then "the operation timed out".
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wsayed:
Same here buddy for outlook live!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
so I've been using 6.5 for a half day now, and found myself liking the animation a bit, I was wondering if its possible to add some fading-out/fading-in to it, (kind of doubt its possible at this stage).

I've found that the today platinum plugin responds better to 'tap' than scrolling.

I like the new IEmobile6, it introduced major improvements over the last version that was including in the TouchHD.

The damn honeycomb program list is slow, there should be something in the registry to increase the frames.....lets good good will hunting. :)

don't know why they decided to hide the remove programs link from the control panel.

Outlook live: I think we have to have outlook or exchange on the computer or something like that, that maybe the reason why it always times out because its not connected....

Twice now I get the error "An Unhandled error has occurred in the shell. Attempting to restart the shell." this error soft resets the device. hmm. I think I'm getting close to reproducing the error, but it almost seems random.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
yeah, the honeycomb damn slow, decided to use spb shell2.

Works fine but somehow all drop down menu in shell not working.

ps: couldn't find the platinum plugin, any hints?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] zhenai:
This is WM6.5?new?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
its 6.5, its new, its for spl 3.5
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I've noticed that this release comes from the blue angel, and

WARNING!! do not use pimbackup to restore messages etc, or else you will cut your device's performance in half!

so those who's device is moving slow did u use pimbackup to restore messages ? the way to get back good performance is to actually do a hardreset.

I haven't found anything related to the honeycomb program list in the registry yet, if anyone knows where it is please post it. I kind of think it's in the windows directory, maybe in some sort of .htm file or something.

*"platinium" is the name of the Zune like today plugin. I like it, just wish it was more fluid (fluid like the quick menu on the xbox's nxe) and would it hurt them to add some subtle click and "swish" sounds to the today plugin?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Thanks, but no platinium can be found in mine. No worry, happy using

spb shell.

Anyone notice this,

I leave my phone on (data), gets mail automatically pushed to me from yahoo. Is this feature also available in other rom b4 6.5?

Really nice, no need to login and check mail.:)

edit:

mail automatically received in other rom as well, so it is not new in 6.5
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:
pdajoy, what do you mean saying "b4 6.5" ?

This rom does not have any special numbering.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I think he's actually talking about windows mobile6.5 and not a numbering scheme for the rom itself.

has anyone noticed how the camera is much faster than 6.1 builds?

has anyone heard of any updated 6.5 builds, even the build they showed at Mobile world congress?. need an updated build because this one keeps giving me the shell error which causes the phone to reset after I click the error notification. lol, one time I got the error message the instant my ex touched the phone.

plus there's a couple opera builds that also caused errors.I think only build 15613 that causes errors.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cash365:
It's because if you read loud the b4 then you wouldn't ask. b4 is an abbreviation of before, the user was saying if there was any other rom before 6.5 that had this feature...

Some common abbreviations:

see you = cu

(to) you too = (2)u2

before = b4

omg = ohh my god

btw = by the way etc etc etc

;-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
Oh, my apology, shouldn't had typed "b4".

Thanks to lennie and cash365 for assisting Al936.

Using Opera v9-5_Build_1184_VGA,

Initially seems ok, then now couldn't zoom and

scroll horizontally. Re-flash rom, re-install and still no good.

IE, couple of faults, couldn't open link from saved favorites and rubbery response when scrolling.

Green square during camera focusing no longer there.

Seem to me shot taken is not as sharp as before.

Still keeping it for minimal usage, GPS, invoicing and mail ONLY.:)

edit: press camera button to focus before snapping picture.

Previously, I don't recall doing that, I just snap and picture came out sharp.

Yes, speed seems faster.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Al936:

What do you mean by (I leave my phone on (data))?

Did you manage to connect to an exchange server thru active sync? It connects only for the first time i made the set up and then I got error sync!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdajoy:
With the commManager, we have the 5 tab, plane/phone/data/bluetooth/wifi

"I leave phone on (data) means, phone and data activated only.

sorry for the confusion, sometime we may have only phone on and data off.

I had changed rom(MiChy6.1) to find out whether same apply,

and discovered still getting my yahoo mail, automatically delivered.

guess this push mail feature is from yahoo and not from 6.5.

I didn't try on exchange server with the 6.5, no access to any.

This build is pretty usable on my Athena, but since its in Chinese its of little use for me. I have also downloaded the 21169 VGA SYS from ppcgeeks, but I am not sure how to make all this into a usable ROM. I'll try and get some help on irc and if I can get something useful to run I will post it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
so I decided to try my hands in some cooking cause I really want to run this 21169 build. I been reading that its much more stable than the 21159 build so i want to see whats up with it.

**I've found out what was causing the fatal shell error i was getting: it was cause by WkTask. its not compatible with the transparent top bar.

I wish Microsoft had also made the bottom bar transparent :)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Brau0303:
My Thoughts

Hey Lennie,

Two things, have you tried Touch-IT task manager (Been using it on my Fuze with all the wm6.5 builds and it works fine) since both dev are vga it may work here as well. a question about your kitchen issue, I am not sure if this would apply but do you have UAC enabled, I know the kitchens for touch pro & fuze will not run properly with uac, also there is a known issue with greloc and modules (Again not sure it would apply here but thought I would mention it) I am getting back in to the Athena world and will likely want to run wm6.5 on it myself.

Cheers

Hey Folks:-)

I´ve got a small question: is it possible to develop an application to let the user slide through all applications like in icontact?

For e.g. trough the SMS and emails and the programms, in my opinion the interface (look) has not to be changed, only to remove the scroll bar and do that via sliding the screen.

Please correct me i that already exists:-)

I have Black Satin ROM installed in my phone, now when I want to upgrade my ROM to HTC Touch FLO, it is not installing, it is giving me a 260 Error, then I tried installing another ROM it gave me another error that UPDATING is now allowed on my ROM.

I asked a techincal friend, he said that my current installed ROM is not allowing me to update the ROM, So I need to HARD SPL my device and then install the HTC Touch FLO..

Can anybody please help me on this and explain me in simple steps and how this can be done. I will really appreciate a quick reply....
