Flash it and reinstall it. Google Market tracks your purchases. Just make sure you always use the same email account if you wipe so it can verify and allow you to do so without paying for it again.
[G1 Apps and Games] Tactical Fart:
Cool. That means I can even flash a different ROM and still keep my swag. Neat!
[G1 Apps and Games] Adam17:
You can get an entirely different Android phone, sign in with the same account and still get all your purchased apps back.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
To be more specific, your purchased apps will show up in 'My Downloads' whether you have installed them or not.

I have a sprint vogue flashed to metropcs with working internet and mms. I am running Nfsfans v14 rom. I installed android 1.5 bundle off of the google code page. I have 3 questions about android.

1.I have internet working with all the proxy settings and everything.Is there any way i can get mms working also?

2.Marketplace, Google Maps, Downloads form the browser, and Google Sync do not work. I get a connection error in marketplace, Google Maps does not load anything, Google Sync tells me to try again later, and the Browser downloads just say waiting for connection. is there any way to get all this working ??

3. is there any way to calibrate the screen? My 1,2,a,s keys are a little off

Thanks in advance
[Touch CDMA General] edru:
As far as your Google account not syncing - I think its a problem with any proxy based access.

I have cricket and its the same story. They use a proxy and either A) have a terrible reverse DNS issue - or B) They are blocking port 25.

This led to me not being able to have outlook connect directly with Gmail and download - id have to use the web version.

To my knowledge there is no work around for it - its an issue with the provider. Of course this is also assuming that the syncing Google does is using the same port it would for simple email.

Ive driven myself crazy looking for the Android build that has the HTC keyboard. It was the very first I installed 2 days ago but wanted to try other builds and since then can not for the life of me find it.

I find the default on screen keyboard for most of Android builds a pain in the ass to use, but this HTC one was awesome...

Someone wanna point it out to me?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
mssmision's rogers build?
[Touch CDMA General] edru:
Odd, I dont think I tried that one since im not even in a country that offers Rogers - but maybe one of his others...
[Touch CDMA General] refthemc:
All the builds have the HTC keyboard. Just hold down where you want to type, select input method, then Touch Input. Have fun :thumbsup:
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
you don't have to be in a country with rogers to use it. It's for all countries lol It's just referencing what it's based on.
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
prolly hero light, or xrom themed hero

or you changed to touch input which is the HTC keyboard
[Touch CDMA General] edru:
yeah got it figured now, thanks to the bunch. - now if only i could figure out a way to activate my goog acount using cricket...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] beezza:
I have used several different roms and noticed the H at the top of the screen. I found that it means HDSPA, when i googled it i understood it to be an enhanced 3G mode for data transfer. I use the tilt for ATT in the philadelphia area and wondered if my network even makse use of this service. In addition to that, because im broke, i turned off my data plan and only use wifi. With that said, does it really make sense for me to have HDSPA enabled, since it seems to drain the battery faster than when its off.

Any input is appreciated, ill continue to search the forum and will post anything i find.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] crissg:
you can turn it off with advanced config

and I would, for the reasons you gave. You can actually force it to use only 2g networks (ie Edge). You should definitely see better battery life.

i tried it & on 1st boot you have to tap the screen when it starts to darken otherwise it will stop booting. power icon does not work & even f i go to power thru settings nothing happens when i tap the icon, but major issue is cannot turn on bluetooth hence cannot pair athena with my jabra bt 8010
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:

Any other known issues ?

Hello friends

Looks this beta rom.. good, if some one has flashed to device checked any other known problems ?

CAN we install third party applications on this rom..since it is clearly mention beta rom?

Thanks in advance
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
ok, so I went ahead flashed the rom: I will update this post as I go along

on 1st boot (orange windows screen) I got an error message from network wizard: "there was a problem setting up network"....when the phone is fully booted it can't seem to find my phone service....I think I will have to flash again...

usually this problems comes in when the phone is using the wrong network BAND and all it would take for me to do is to switch the BAND back to the ones my phone company use

phone>>options>>band and change it there....but I can't find band in phone settings......

EDIT: I tried hardresetting to see if it would pick up my network but that didint' work so now I'm re-flashing. the ROM seems ok so far speed wise.

EDIT: I did a reflash it still didnt' pick up any network, I also changed radio from 1.58, to 1.57 and still nothing....

EDIT: I can't change the band, I use the 850, 1900 bands for both GSM and UMTS but I can't change it to that
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
sorry guys for not getting back sooner, work been taking over. will be attempting to port a later build tonight, and will revert back to fixing mentioned issues if it doesnt go to plan.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
looking forward to your new build....still this problem that i can't change the band to work here in the US is getting to me....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Montecristo:
Thanks for your work!!

What kitchen you've used?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I am using ervius's kitchen, with a dumped wm6.0 build with the sys and xip from the x7510 kitchen, however I am in the process of trying to port build 23045 over to our devices, but still need to do some flattening of modules as I cannot get it to boot at present and I believe this is due to using to much of the slot 0 memory in the 6.1 kernel.

I will be doing some more work on this tonight, I will report back with any progress :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hey Monte is your device picking up on the cell signal with this rom?

there must be some sort of registry edit I can do to get my phone to change band...but I have no clue which key/s

thanks looking forward to the new build....I was just reading about it this morning over at wmpoweruser.com
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I am just hoping I can find whatever is stopping me getting a bootable rom, I think the new layout in the 23xxx builds would be really nice on the athena
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
for all interested, I have just managed to get a 23409 build to boot, am just trying to see if the previous bugs have been fixed.

If anyone wants to try it and help me beta test, let me know and I will upload

Fixed in new build:

Power Icon - Fixed due to updated build drop down top bar

Bluetooth - I can search for and locate other devices, bluetooth led works, but no icon on top bar

Band Selection - I am able to set up network on first boot* also am able to go into /settings/personal/phone/band (new build supports side to side screen swipe to switch tabs)

*On first boot an error comes up "problem with database" its something to do with the network setup however my device located my sim card provider and configured phone service and data connection.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] bravogee:
I would love to try it out.

I would love to try it out. The first one was actually super smooth and fast. I just could not turn on the bluetooth. Hope this time bluetooth will work and I can pair with my headset. Thank you very much for your great work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Uploading 1st 23409 build now, testing another with more features as we speak

Download is up let me know what you think, am going to bed now its taken me 5 hours non stop to get to this!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Im considering trying this ROM. Been using all AP ROMs. After i tried some Michys. Now I would like to try the one from AstianHellbring but it's taking quite long to being released.

Is anyone using this ROM with day to day use? Thanks for your replies. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
thanks you very much for your hard work....you have given my athena new life...I'm falling in love with it all over again.

**when I flashed I got the same network wizard error again, I actually got to take some pictures of it this time around. I got it on both roms now. it comes up everytime I soft reset the phone.

**on 1st boot I couldnt' see the band tab in phone settings, it showed up after I did a hardreset, I was then able to set it to gsm 850+1900 bands, now it's picking up my carrier's network.

**the dialer seems to be messed up in portrait mode....so I use Advance Config to disable it and all is good

I see that you've included .net CF in this rom which is good.

**the Microsoft My Phone is in two different locations: in the main program list and in settings.

this is a fast rom, i havent had any freeze up yet or met up on any show stoppers yet...

**the bottom bar is hidden in some programs like winrar and total commander

EDIT: there's no link to get to input settings.....I can't get to register my touchpal keyboard.....

I also had my 1st couple of freezes, I think they have something to do with the WiFi because they all happend when I'm using it and the device goes into standby mode: using IEmobile with WiFi and the device went into standby, I had to soft reset. the other I can't seem to replicate but it caused my phone to hang on start up showing the orange windows mobile screen with the notification bar.....I had done a number of changes to registry and other parts so those could have played a role in the freeze up.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kirkdis:
Hi!

nice to see that somebody is working on new roms... îs the link in post #1 the latest version^^
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah the link is in the 1st post almost at the top....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
The only thing I can suggest is that you look at the bugs/issues and see if you think you can live with them, and then try it if so.

Please remember this is a new build of windows as well as only the second rom I have ported and released, and was only first booted last night.

On the plus side I find this very quick and stable from my short time with it, faster than my blackstone running a build from the same com arm.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Will look into the network wizard errors, not sure what they are but doesnt seem to affect anything

Glad your able to choose your carrier band now

Dialer in portrait I will look at too

Micrsoft myphone, in progs and settings - This is not my doing, it seems to be that way from m$ my blackstone is exactly the same

Bottom bar issues I think are caused by the extra 18pix to put all new buttons etc. Not

much I can do as this is part and parcel of the new UI

Input settings, if you tap and hold on the bottom keyboard button when keyboard is out it will pop up a small input menu.(will look into this as well)

I have not suffered any lockups/freezes as of yet and have used same combination with ie and wifi
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] guizmox:
Build 23412 seems great too... Creating a new contact will be *at least* easier and it has new visual optimizations.

But maybe the 23053 build you are cooking has got this new "contacts" application ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I thought my last com4 build had the new contacts manager in? will check
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
Great!

can you include the disabling of the automatic magnifying window too? When can we expect this?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
sorry I couldnt' get back sooner, but make sure step 4 is done correctly: in vista open Mobile Device Center, then in Mobile Device Settings click "connection settings". In the window that comes up, unselect/disable "Allow USB connections"...it should look like the picture I have bellow. click the OK button.

leave windows mobile device center running, don't close it. then put your phone in bootloader mode, then connect it to your computer, when the word "serial" at the bottom of your phone screen changes to "USB" run the mtty program then you should see the USB option in the dropdown box.... continue the to step 6 now. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I am glad to hear that 23053 is in the building process.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] YOSEFE:

keyboard issue

I noticed that w/ the 7.0.0.1 build, my virtual keyboard is shifted a bit to the right, and thus missing the most right keys, including the important backspace.

As for the physical hardware keyboard, when I was in Live Messenger typing a message, the left shift key will bring up another window (SMS / Hotmail) instead, very frustrating. (the key works, and did the shifting so I know it's not a hardware issue).

With 2 keyboard issues, I don't know what keyboard to use (I have a BT but don't want to use it all the time)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
HI

It does tell you the answer to this at the start, but here again if you rotate the screen to portrait mode and back to landscape it puts the keyboard in the middle again.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
what extras do you want added? i am reluctant to bulk the rom out with stuff no-one uses or that can be installed via cab as i have limited space within the 2 available memory modules due to there being no native 6.5 kernel.

for those waiting for new build, please bear with me im doing my best, eg have just walked back in the house from work (just gone midnight) to find the power out in the whole street so no building tonight, plus it probably takes me 3 to 4 hrs to port, optimize, build and briefly test each build thats with no problems, and given that it takes 2/3 attempts to get one worth releasing i hope you can see why its sometimes slow getting new builds out.

hopefully will have a new build in the morning before i go back to work at lunchtime
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
oh and hopefully the crap magnifier will be disabled on next build
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mrgano:
most people get stuck at step 8, if you have a wireless router and you have connected your phone to it before this problem happened then your phone's MAC address is stored in the router, you can get it from there. if not, I have some old electronic stuff laying around here somewhere that I think I can get a MAC address to give you.

dear lennie,

Yah... i keep scearching but all the MAC numbers didn't give me any filename... So can you help me... Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mokhabarat:
perhaps its a bit late to mention this, but try to adress the power consumption issue with the rom, it gobbles the battery up like crazy! michy's rom used to last 2 days with moderate use on a full charge! nd charging is also very slow, donno whats using power so much. additionally, u might want to disble the new dictionary nd put back the old one since this one is VERY intrusive when typing an sms! it keeps substituting :S

overall the rom's gr8 once u disable the magnifier, it could use some more tweaks in terms of speed, u might want to try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530710

thx for the good work :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I have no idea how to address the battery draining, is this not down fully or in part to the build from m$? Also with the lack (ie none) of more experienced chefs cooking for athena I dont have a lot to compare to apart from 6 month old builds, none of which are using the latest leaked beta builds from microsoft.

Also I dont have any packages for the dictionaries, can you not disable or change the settings within the rom not to substitute? I dont use the dictionary due to using the hardware keyboard with mine.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mokhabarat:
i use the hardware keyboard as well, but as i told u it keeps substituting...anyways i'll try to disable it from somewhere. i dont mean to push u or anything...its just currently ur the ONLY one who's bothering to give us new builds..nd we sort of have tons of requests :)

speaking of which..can u put bubble breaker back in :)

23053 XIP and SYS

Heavily modded modules in native kernel for memory optimization

Bubble Breaker Included

Magnifier disabled

Owner/Input settings activated

Sensor SDK included (Should allow autorotation, not tested)

DRM Package included (Not tested)

Overall seems very quick to me, have gone about as far as possible with module conversions in the native kernel so will look at ExtDIR for more speed increases for next build.

Hope you like it!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mokhabarat:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I create a folder in My Documents called Athena booting, I put both Mtty and Mac1 in that folder….I will start from step 5.

Make sure Allow USB is disabled in Windows Device Center. put your phone in boot loader mode and connect it to your computer when the “serial” at the bottom turns “usb” run Mtty then select “USB” in the dropdown list.

Click the ok button

In the next window that comes press the “Enter” key on your keyboard and a “Cmd>” should come up in the window.

Leave that open and then run mac1

Enter the MAC address that you have for your phone, then select “create bin for SPL 1.xx and click ok

In the “save as” window that comes up after you clicked the ok button, navigate to the folder where you saved Mtty and Mac1. (it might show that the folder is empty…..but it’s not).

Now look at the bottom of that window you will see “File Name” type: athenamac in the space beside it and click the “save” button. (this is the reason you weren’t getting a “filename.bin”……because you didn’t’ type in a name for the bin file)

Now continue from step 10…..anymore problems just let me know and I’ll help in any way I can.

steps 10 to 12 are very important....the commands are in red:

10. now, in mtty, type (do not copypaste!) this command: task 32

11. this should return Level = 0

12. now, you must type the following commands (do not copypaste!!): lnbs athenamac.bin 75108000

(don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).

NOTE, the command starts with a lowercase "L", not "I"!

13. mtty will popup a window asking "OK", you press OK!

if you get "Fail to synchronize with the host (1)", then make sure you did follow step by step. if still same error, try placing mtty and the bin file under C:\.

14. now the file downloads, if mtty reports it flashed the file, and at the end "code entrypoint unknown", then that's it, now boot back to WM and see if wifi works.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mokhabarat:
i posted a cab in this thread for it...i'm using it on ur current build...works great for the most part..but it does have a few glitches with displaying some things properly, the top taskbar is one of them, the drop down menu doesnt show at all....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah it doesn't work that well, so I removed the cab that you posted after install and test. I don't think it should be included if it doesn't work well (still that is up to the cook to decided). it's not just the topbar, but also the bottom bar icons or cut off so it looks half-assed, and the icons in messaging doesn't show (it shows a red x beside the recieved and sent, it doesn't look good at all)....plus other things.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
Thank you Avenger, I just flashed your new rom and so far it looks awesome. the bar seems to work in other windows and not just on the today screen.

the speed is really nice, now scrolling through a long list on my microdrive doesn't stutter like crazy anymore and regular scrolling is smooth as silk.

thank you for enabling band and timezone in phone settings, and the owner info and input settings.

the ringtones work.

.....thats a huge TCP window size :) that should help a lot.

I see that bubble breaker didn't make it into this build...it's all right it's not a problem at all.

again this build is stable and fast.....

I am Lennie and I recommend this ROM :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
when you run mac1 and enter the mac address, select the 1.xx and click the ok button, and type in the file name "athenamac.bin", save it in the same place that you have mtty and mac1......if it's not in the same place it will not work. after you clicked the save button check to make sure that athenamac.bin was created.
