office and stuff

I would like offcie 2007 cooked in but if the massess are against then I can install after flashing..

I have had a few freezes but on the whole all good , I think that the low ram is the culprit as things started to go a bit funny after installing spb news 2 which seems to eat memory and cpu.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
All, thanks for feedback

I will release another build this weekend with the following:

a)2 releases one with office one without

b)I will drop the pagepool down from 12(current) to 0 see how that goes

c)I will also try and optimise some more memory by seeing if there are any un-needed packages still in the build

d)I will also try and "flatten" some modules to release some memory in slots 0 and 1 that I am able to use with the wm6.1 native kernel.

e)Try and fix the ringtone issues with some registry tweaks, failing this I may have to post details on how to do it manually.

All in all i feel progress is going well and am very happy that you are all helping me to iron out the bugs, also giving me the opportunity to learn. Unfortunatly I am working Saturday and Sunday so wont have as much time as I would like but I will do my best!!! :)

Please remember that the 23409 build is still a M$ beta so some issues may be down to the build itself.

If anyone has any other bugs/requests etc before I build the next version let me know here.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
please hold off on doing the 0 page pool...I'm having some freezing problems with IEmobile and I don't know if that has something to do with it, so I'm going to try a 4mb pagepool now...will get back later

EDIT: it seems that the pagepool size does affect IEmobile in some way or something to that nature.

now i keep getting the "cannot find \'windows\iemo6_default_0409.htm' error when trying to run IEmobile. maybe it's my doing that's causing this problem so I'm going to do a hardreset

EDIT: so it turns out that it seems I was the one at fault with the IE problem because after a hardreset things seems to be fine with it, no freezing (like I was getting with 0 pagepool) it's running smooth as silk.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I saw that there's a new build out 23047...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
i think i will see how much memory i can free up by recmodding modules etc then look at pagepool etc.

i noticed the new build and have a copy of xip and sys, but may wait a few days to see if there are any gains to be had other than the graphical ui tweaks. as it feels like this build is quite close to being very useable with a few tweaks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
Got the same error but I didnt alter pagepool.

(EDIT)I did a hard reset and reinstalled my applications one at a time in case it was a conflict but I couldnt reproduce it. IE working now..shrugs
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
so I don't know what's going on with IEmobile: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...sometimes I had to go in settings and disable images then it worked.

also does anyone know if there's a setting to set IEmobile to "auto wrap" words? opera doesn't seem to Work for me
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I was using Opera 9.7b1 downloaded from their website and from memory worked ok.

On another note I have just flashed next version 5.4.6, with some mods the the modules, on my first flash I have 53mb of free program memory, can anyone tell me how this compares to last version?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
nice to hear that it booted up.....sounds good. I'm using a 4mb pagepool so I don't think stats would count, but in anycase on fresh boot I have about 56mb free.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
i am able to get 62mb free on clean boot of next version with some modules flattened and a 4mb pagepool, not sure how that compares to other roms

Maybe you need to do some more explaining when you want people to give proper reactions. Cheers. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
lol, what the? What is this comment supposed to mean?

At a very long shot I might guess that you are looking for the owners information part of windows mobile in my rom? If so this is hidden by M$ in some of the menu's, if you do a search you will be able to find some registry edits to rectify this.

If you are not comfortable with registry editing and this is your problem then I suggest you use another more suitable rom

For everyone else, I will upload the new rom now and let you know when its done

Waning love for the athena x7500

It appears as though the love for the Athena is waning for our Athena Cooks. The last closest to complete ROM was the one cooked by Michy.

There are a few Athena ROMS that have been generously cooked and offered to users, however even though they are mostly usable, they are not as good as the ones cooked for other devices like the new "boy" on the block called HTC Touch Pro 2.

If only one cook could be "espoused" to the Athena x7500, we could have a ROM to "stick" to.

Could a cook please come back to cook and or perfect a WM6.5/WM6.5.x ROM for us? Please?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Please remember that the latest 6.5.x builds are still betas from microsoft, plus the fact that the athena runs different hardware to most of the new devices, plus there are not a huge amount of users left with athenas and the expert knowlege has moved to other newer devices.

Those of us who are cooking for athena are doing our best and it takes a huge amount of time to cook and test. I am more than happy to just cook for myself but thought I would offer my work out to other users in case it suits them, it is not for every user out there as is the case with most devices.

My only other suggestion would be to cook your own if your not happy with whats currently out there
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:

ANDROID !!! ON ATHENA!! OMG!!

Avenger, sir, I have your previous WM 6.5 on my x7501 and it is very smooth. I am grateful that you have kept this going...With this my x7501 is a whole new beast, and does quite a lot better than 6.1 esp. with finger touch.

But to move away from Win to A'OID would be the bees knees!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] YOSEFE:
Sorry mate if I sounded ungrateful,

As a matter of fact I have our previous release on my Athena.

My post was a passionate appeal for the Athena Cooks not to consign us to the distant past.

Like you pointed out, we Athena users are now in the "minority", and cookers are now transfering or have transferred their skills to newer devices. This is my concern.

Sadly, I can't cook. If I could I would; and that is why I have to look to those who are talented developers.

Don't get me wrong, I am still dependent on you cookers. Don't cast me out.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] YOSEFE:
Edit: Double Post.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
I disagree YOSEFE.

6 months ago ROM development for the Athena looked dead. a cholce of one 6.5 rom

now we have 2 cooks, one working on Android and one on WinMo. support these two guys. without them you would really have something to complain about:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Without them we would have had noone to complain to. :rolleyes:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
For me it's best to have little choices but robust and complete ones.

As I see it now, we have the perfect 6.1 builds thanks to Michy's works, the latest 6.1 full Manilla and clean roms are the ones to go for me.

Avengerpenguin and lennie have managed to provide stable and exceptionally promising 6.5.3 builds and don't underestimate Michy's and LTxda offers in the 6.5 field.

The most important fact is that although MichyPrima seems to have moved to other projects, avengerpenguin and lennie are here and express uber supportive behaviour and commitment.

To have numerous builds for just the sake of it seems pointless, counter productive and very dissorienting.

So let's be gratefull to the ones that have already gave us their best and applause and support the new kids on the block, it's the least that we can do:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] UniversalCitizen:
Try and Try Again

Thank you for these ROMs! I had been using one of Michy's ROMS but after many months my 7501 started to get very flakey and so I have started trying new ROMs.

I am currently trying the 28205 1.04 Test version and I find it quite fast and much more reliable than the others I have tried so far.

Unfortunately, with this one, my Internet Explorer is not working, nor can I Add/Remove Favorites on my today screen. I was going to try Opera 10 Beta 2 to get around it, but that is warned against by other posts here.

I know this is a test build but the regular 28205 seemed much less stable to me. Does this match other people's experiences with it?

Is there a good speedy stable bug-free WM 6.5 version which I am missing?

Thank you to everyone on here developing and posting! If it wasn't for this group I would have tossed my device out the window years ago. :-)

28205 1.04 Test UAT - continued

The only internet browser I could install and use it on this ROM version is Skyfire. Opera did not work. The Opera 10 beta made me twice re-flash the device, 9.7 and 9.5 did not work.

Skyfire is quite ok, it has flash. The only thing that is annoying is that you can browse only one page at a time.

Take some good advice!

Hello and welcome to the forum,

HARD press the camera button and press reset hole withthe stylus. it should give you a coloured stripe screen (boot-load) and some writing, tell us what the writing says please. The biggest single thing you can do for yourself is read the WIKI HERE, about upgrading and most of the other stuff. you are trying to run before you can walk:eek: DONT try anything else with it till you know what you are doing first.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cur10us:
Jay, you're right!

Okay, Jay, you're right on two counts. One, it is addicting to 'try out' other ROMs and it is very important to know what you are doing first. Lennie's ROM was my first ever ROM and it worked great on my first try. This is my second ROM and I'll try it this weekend. Great job, cooks!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:

Welcome to the forum.

Reading your question you are a newcomer to Athena and probably a newcomer to flashing roms. this rom is for spl 3.5 only.

Before you try to flash read the wiki

Both versions are now up! one without office, one with office depending on your preference, I havent tested the office version but cant see why there would be any issues.

Changelog 5.4.6.5:

Recmodded modules to free up memory in slot 0 of kernel

Changed Pagepool from 12mb to 4mb

If this is stable and fast etc, then could do with some ideas for where to go next, what does everyone want keep slow and steady updates to this version?

Or want me to cook using the latest sys and xip as they become available based on the current set up but potentially buggier due to using the latest M$ beta builds?

Or am I going to take a stab in the dark and guess that you would all like the option of both? (Dont mind but may take longer for releases due to the amount of time I can get away with spending on it)

Some steps to make [ROM] 6.5 23409 13/09/2009 X7500 ROM perfect !!!!!

I want to thank avengerpenguin for his efforts to give us a very nice ROM to make our ATHENA up to date. So I collect here some tips & tweaks to make our Athena more stable and helpfull:

1/ To disable magnifier:

Edit: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\MAGNIFIER]

"Enable"=dword:0

2/ Restore hidden setting items for Owner, Input:

Remove the "Redirect" value under the following keys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]

3/ Get your Today more closer to WINMO 7, try Ibrythill WM 7 Titanium Project & Black Blue theme. (remember to disable Windows Default before install: start> settings> today> items> uncheck "Windows Default"& enable it after finish your work.)

Download:

wm7tp beta6.9! - rapidshare

wm7tp beta6.9! - 4shared

4/ Update your weather forcast in Ibrythill WM 7 Titanium Project:

Here is my feedback.

First, I would like to congratulate our cooker :)

- There is an important ring delay with this ROM (I compare with the last on I used : MichyPrima 6.1)

- Maybe you could add some programs with the ROM : Arcsoft MMS, HTC Album, Youtube...

Thanks for your work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] arie_i:
How does this version compare to Michyprima 6.1 speed wise?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
thanks for these settings (#2) I would like to see what (#3) looks like before I change anything.....but again, thanks for these because i always use touchpal as my keboard and since I couldn't get to "input" to get my reg code in, it would always have me as using an unregistered copy which sucked.

I haven't used 6.1 in a long time, but speed wise they're not far apart if not the same...however, getting to certain places in the rom in 6.5 is much faster than in 6.1. The finger scrolling makes getting it look and feel better better (it's smooth, not jaggied like when using FTouchSL in 6.1). what I'm trying to say is that this ROM feels more complete than a 6.1 rom (don't know how much people would agree with me on that one but that's how it feels to me).

I would say backup your settings, messages, logs, etc and install this rom and see how it goes, if you don't think it's fast enough you can always go back to 6.1

I don't get a ring delay at all....did you hardreset after you flashed the rom? it's always good practice to do so.

we're trying to go forward not backwards....the 21xxx builds will be the base for the 1st round of wm6.5 release, it's rumoured that 23xxx will be the base of the 2nd wave. 21xxx will be out in about a month, why should we stick to 21xxx again? stability wise, I've find that this rom is quite stable, I've had no problems with it so far. this ROM will be my fallback rom if the others don't work out so well.

I believe since we have a stable fallback rom, our cook should venture out and find new and exotic ingredients on the cutting edge to make more extraordinary dishes......
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I am reluctant to go backwards with the build numbers, my plan was to try and bring the latest 6.5 builds to the athena as no-one else was developing them for our devices.

If you want to use an early build 21xxx then I would suggest using some of the existing already released roms.
