Touch Flo is the touch type pack, this and the HTC scroll package were included to try and get a manila version to boot from a cab install but for all my efforts I cant get a manila version to work, I have tried the vga one from dev and hacking and also the 2d manila posted in the x7510 forum, and I cant get them to start.

I have no idea how to/which version I need to get hold of, also would like to have autorotation working but havent found a cab or package that makes use of sensor sdk(if i am using the right one)

Anyone used a michy rom that has manila and autorotate? post a link if possible so I can try and find out what packages have been used.

Manilla 2d works

I've added 2d to one of your earlier roms with sucess. It took a while to get it all to work. Adding the right versions of album and audio seemed to be the key. I used the qvga version 19 and the VGA fix. Also the proxy manilla cab for the weather widget and VGA skins for album and audio. It works faster than on any of michys ROMs

x7500

rad 1.57

avengers rom from late sept (forget the version)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Any chance you could zip/rar all the files you used and upload them somewhere so I can try it, I believe there are some more speed gains to be had from manila if I can get it working and cooked into a rom, as I can then recmod some of the modules.

Another option is to use exdir as this promises gains from manila installed from a cab, but I need to check some settings in boot.hv before I can be sure
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnripper:
have you tried the manila test for athena i pm you?

you should install the manila cab and put all other dlls to windows folder.

i think that this one works but the grafics are messed up because of the lack of drivers.

maybe you could find some newer libGLES_CM.dll this is the open gl driver for manila, or else try manila 2d no need for open gl drivers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I am sure i did but not sure if I moved the dll's? will try it again tomorrow, have installed the omnia d3d driver but still will not run m3d, will re-flash phone tomorrow and see if I can get your version running.

It must be possible as I have used a michy rom with it a long time ago, but I dont think I will be able to dump manila out of it as the cooking process usually removes the dsm or other files needed. Plus I would rather have michy's approval before doing this.

If anyone has the add-on package that michy offered with the clean 6.5 rom could they send it to me, as it has a gsensor that I think will allow autorotation, but the original download link is down.

I am going to bed in a bit as I am approaching 6hrs building and testing now, I will get the 23060 fixed builds up tomorrow, which I am hoping should have the adobe problem and bubble breaker issues fixed
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] johnripper:
thanks for try and for info, but you need open gl drivers, d3d do not work with manilla, i have try it with your 23053 latest rom and manila 3d works but very slow and with bad grafics, the only thing we need is a better driver and we all can enjoy manila in our 5" screen.....

spl question

I'd wanted to know if this rom works only with 3.5 spl 'cause bricked my Athena with 1.2 spl
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah this only works with SPL 3.5

I haven't tried the Gsensor yet.

my WiFi works really great, picked up full bars though 2 rooms with closed doors....I'm not sure why your's is picking up weak.....maybe it's your router because mine works just fine.

Avenger, the com manager looks crazy when real vga 128dpi is used...it's still usable it just looks real crazy.

the words in marketplace and some other parts of the OS is quite small when 128dpi is used....I'm wondering if anyone know of a way to increase the font size system wide.......

EDIT: if anyone is using realVGA with 128dpi, you will notice that the regular skin doesn't scale well and it will look preally ugly....download and install amarullz wm6.5 skin. I will upload some screenshots soon
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I have had no issues with wifi either? I would have thought this would have been related to the radio version rather than the rom but may be wrong.

The RealVGA add-ins are nothing to do with me, just picked them up from existing packages, I assume that they need new skins made at 128 and 96 dpi but I dont do graphic stuff.

Font size, they may be reg settings somewhere for this, I am guessing that you have tried the text size in settings and doesnt work?

I think autorotation needs additional cab will do some testing
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Do you still need this package? I can upload it if you do.

Jay
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah, I've been going through the reg all this time trying to find something but I haven't seen anything that changes the font size system wide. the major problem I have though is in Marketplace....the font size there is crazy small in the app description. but no biggy I will keep looking maybe I find something in the reg soon.

realvga

Hey bros, I find a solution for 128dpi mode in realvga.

First, U launch realvga, after soft-reset, the bottom menu will appear with scale mistake.

You chance screen to portrait mode and landscape after. The bottom menu will be ok.

I tried it and it's great :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
"new music"? do you mean regular mp3 files?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Not really sure how to fix this, I dont have any experience with realvga.

Thanks Jay, did still need it, will have a look though and see what I can use

I can put this on the list for the next build

Still struggling with re-instating this but will keep working on it

I keep trying different drm packages to resolve the issues, next build I will include every one I have in my collection and see what result we get.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ktdan1:
No the issue is with *. wmp, synced music from the desktop windows media player. Any leagal music sync from the desktop comes up with a falure "A digital rights management (DRM) error has occurred"

I think the MSLive is messing it up.

I'm not having any problems with adding emails, but then again I don't have an msn account, I use hotmail and live, no msn and also, aim, yahoo, and no problems at all. had you done a hardreset after you flashed the rom?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ktdan1:
Yep did the hard reset, it is funny just an issue with MSN not any one else.

Just to let you know, You have the best working rom out there!!!! I am more greatful then know.

thanks again
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Thats fine, just means that I have to keep trying different packages until I find a working solution, the album package I have is not ideal as it is from topaz and doesnt display in the right landscape view. I need to hunt for different packages but time is always a factor, and my job takes too much of it!!! lol

I am very happy with the progress we have all made with this rom series, I could not have got this far in such a short time without everyones help and patience.

I wonder if progess would be increased if I was to release my kitchen, meaning anyone capable of cooking roms could assist in the testing of different packages?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yes that would most likely speed up testing packages, and experimental builds.....but we really can't handle a board loaded with subpar quality roms...with that said, I'd be happy to dive in there with you.

power button problems

when i listening music (audio manager) with bluetooth headset and push the power button, the phone stop everything. Why? Tried lots of rom, but AP 4.0 is the one off the all which not do this.AP 4.0 the best?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I noticed this earlier, I feel very honoured to have achieved "sticky" status!!

On another note I would like to say a massive thankyou to those who have donated to my time building these roms, I really appriciate it.

This sounds like a registry tweak to me, to enable the audio to continue whilst in standby, but you will have to search for an answer, I think the best rom is down to what the user wants and requires, I dont pretend mine to be the best, but I try and bring the latest builds to our devices which no-one else is currently doing. I beleive the AP rom to be excelent and used it myself for a while, and is more of a stable released rom rather than a build that may have bugs from me and also MS as these are still leaked betas.

My advice is to try and search for a solution to your problem and let me know and I can try and help you incorporate it into one of my builds, or pick a rom that suits your needs out of the box i.e AP4 but remember that I dont think anyone else cooks for athena anymore, so you are unlikely to get any of the new features etc.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Heres a crazy idea I have had whilst at work this evening, I am very grateful to those who have helped test and progress these builds, and as discussed it may speed up the fault finding process to have a collaboration of people building roms, not for release into the forum, but to iron out bugs, find solutions and also to make your own custom build for your device how you want it.

So, for example Lennie/mokhabarat who have expressed an interest but dont have much experience? How about a "live" cooking tutorial? By this I mean using commercial netmeeting/webcasting software, I believe it would be possible for me to do almost a 2 way classroom on what I know about rom cooking(not a lot) I could broadcast the visual of my desktop/kitchen whilst using live talkthrough of what I am doing what the parts do etc, and people would have the option to ask questions directly and I could try and explain there and then, also if I am able to make a copy of my kitchen available there is no reason why anyone shouldnt be able to follow the steps and build a rom themselves

Almost a training/classroom session via the web, I think this would provide a much steeper learning curve due to the 2 way discussion, rather than searching threads or posting questions and waiting on answers?

What do you all think? If its not a good idea or no-ones interested thats fine, but I must stress that this is not a sure thing yet because I need to weigh up how much of my time etc this is going to take up on top of everything else.

I could do a trial run at some point for a few people and see if it is worth it for all of us.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rpmbnsf:
I would love to be involved in this. I dont know a lot about building a working ROM so I'm up for joining in a WEB based classroom. Just let me know a list of programs i need to have ready ahead of time and the time you want to try it out.

Ultra Lite version

Hi

I have a question concerning the ultra lite version (8.0.0.4UL)

When I try loading this rom on my x7501, when it's almost done configuring, I get an error message, windows/contacts.exe missing. After this, the device freezes unless I do a soft reset and then it goes through the whole installation process again with the same error.

Anybody else experience this?

Thanks.

btw whatever happened about the g-sensor/autorotate issue? I see the elite team have it working. any chance of a little sharing of info?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I am still working on it, and I have a new lead to hopefully get it working.

The elite team are some of the best here at xda and have a number of people working on it over a long time, so the end product will be a much more polished product that what I am able to produce on my own with the limited time available. I will probably have another go at getting autorotate working tomorrow and will release a new version if it works. If not I will keep trying but progress may be a bit slow as I am getting a bit tired of it all at the moment.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] KukurikU:
thank you for the time and for sharing:)

my feed-back:

-the ROM is "usable" but it needs improvements.

-relatively slow.

-eats battery like there is no tomorrow (20% in 1 hour of making some setups and a few resets)

-the dialer skin is not fitting the screen and i had to use the phone without it (used advanced configuration to get rid of it).

-i have a few freezes mostly during or immediately after a soft reset.

-the soft reset takes ages...

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
If you find this version slow, then maybe you would be better off with a different rom as this is one of the fastest out of all the ones I have cooked, the keyboard issue has been covered many times, rotate screen to portrait and back to landscape, adobe is a know is and I have figured out the fix however this is only present in the 23071 version which is a bit slower.

I would suggest using the 23060 realvga version as I am not that happy with the 23071 build

I am finding that the 23071 release from ms is not the best, have not encountered any freezes, but there are many comments from those who have cooked 23071 builds regarding the slow down in the UI and scrolling, guesses are that this build has had some changes to the kinetic scrolling from microsoft

I would suggest one of the 23060 builds.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Thats the one I am currently using as well, seems to have a good balance of usabilty and speed, 23071 seems a bit buggy, maybe more of a test version

As far as I am aware yes, came from the same sources as most of the others, however all of these new builds are microsoft betas so can never be sure how good or bad each will be. There are rumours of a 23073 build that is supposed to be good, how true this is we will have to wait and see, also apparently there will be a com5 branch coming soon, am hoping this will be closer to wm6.5.1/7 but again we will all have to wait. As soon as I get my hands on them they will be cooked and released.

I am doing a lot of work behind the scenes to try and give us increased functionality/newer components etc but as most of this has to come from different devices etc it is taking much longer than normal. Am still trying to sort autorotate and some build of manila.

I recon there comes a point I think when it is better to stick with good reliable build that's fast and bug free, rather than chasing the latest build with the highest number. unless It has some brand new feature that the others don't. its a shame that there isn't some kind of universal post for all the forums that lists the pros's and cons of each build so cooks can see if its worth porting.

I'm going to check the hypercore athena kitchen these files....hopefully they're in there in somewhere. if not we'll have to get them some other way, but it seems those files are all needed to make aut-rotate work. once those files are in the rom we can then download the sktools gsensor tool to enable it, or enable it from registry....
