I also found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2459454&postcount=51

this one has the HTCSensorService.dll along with the other two that we have. maybe this 3 is all that is needed to get it working....

the building process is going good, I'm using the builds that came with the kitchen though, I haven't done anything with 23071 yet. but I think I'm going to get in there later on in the night. but for now I was just checking around the place to find drivers for the autorotate.....I haven't tried any of the .dlls yet though. where should I put them in the kitchen? in the sys folder?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
This zip contains 4 of the required files:

gsensor.dll

gsensorsettings.exe

htcsensorsdk.dll

htcsensorservice.dll
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I think that's all we need....:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Just copied them all to my windows folder and the autorotate script doesnt work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I am not sure, but I think they have to be cooked in. and then try the calaberation app....did you run the reg key file too that's in the zip?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
new build 23075 out.....:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
i have the files to port, hopefully build will be finished tonight.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
As stated yes latest link in first post.

I just decided to try and bring the latest builds to the athena, I love the device but due to lack of options mine was sat in a cupboard at home doing nothing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kirkdis:
so i flashed right before...

i would do some modifications...

i know its much work...

-the usb connection don´t popup after connecting to the pc (no choice between AS, drive option etc.)

-i looks like opera was implemented before in this rom. so i have the a choice between ie and opera in the vueflow settings menu???

-the start menu is little slow in scrolling should be the not engineered graphics driver... so i would change to old style for stock.

-due to the new lower button bar there is no choice for exiting opera mobile build 16070 (for my choice the best one actual). i will try in the next minutes to install the lastest known htc task manager... i think this will solve this... (will write the result soon)EDIT: Htc task manager works but the Postions of the clock is fixed in the upper bar so the task manager is right behind the time... ARGH

-quickgps is an old version (only 3 days caching) theres a newer one out with about 6days gps data saving which works

-another thing i found: sometimes there is a little zoom window there... where can i disable this???

thanks for this great build... you bring new fun to my athena ;-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
thanks for the update.....I think its time you start giving your roms names now :D

yeah, I know about the click and hold onto the keyboard button, but that only brings up the sip chooser, but the problem I'm having is that I can't get to the settings.

the freeze ups are most likely my doing as I've done a lot of reg changes.

all in all, it is good. I'm looking forward to your next release :)

I was thinking the same thing, it's kind of right in your face when you want to change some options really fast. annoying is what it is, I don't know why msft would implement this without an easy way to disable it....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kirkdis:
it looks like its a dumped rom. so there was a user before who changed settings or programms in it...

Edit: i do some hardcore testing to the rom...

camera works, but after saving 1 or 2 pics there are many graphic errors in the preview. could be caused due to an old htc camera package...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
USB Popup - Will try and inc. into next build

Opera - Will be in next build (9.7b)

StartMenu - Cannot be changed, its a feature of 6.5

Task Manager/Clock - Again this is due to new build by m$ not my doing, try searching I am sure others have had the same problem.

Quick GPS - Will look for later package

Zoom Window - I have a cab to disable, will upload in first post

Camera - Will try and update in next build
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Its not a dumped rom as far as I know, it is built from the sys and xip released in Da_G's tread in dev and hacking.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hmm, I dont' seem to be having any problems with the camera taking pictures or when previewing them....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kirkdis:
i think the zoom window comes from the zoom bar which is not correctly displayed on some devices...

if you include opera í think a 9.5 version would be better and more stable.

-in the start menu there´s a link called "microsoft tag". after activating the device freezes...

question: lol i figured out that menues in the new start menu can be sortet new by tapping, holding, moving... is this new or in all wm6.5 versions included? could be that i´m little late in this feature???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
The zoom can be disabled by using uploaded zip on first post

9.5 is ok with me, I find the 9.7b beta faster but few bugs

Microsoft tag can be removed, or download the latest cab from microsoft

The menu drag and drop is a newer feature than the old "move to top" in early 6.5 builds
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Changelog for new build coming 5_4_4

Removed M$Tag

Added SensorSDK

Added USBtoPC Menu in Settings (no popup yet)

Added Advanced Config

Added Perfomance Tweaks

Added htcEzInput keyboard (may need screen orientation to portrait back to landscape to work properly)

Fixed Network Setup Error on Reset

Portrait phone issue can be fixed by disabling phone canvas in advanced config
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
thanks for the update: I'm no longer getting the network setup error anymore.

EzInput xt9 isn't working....I wish EzInput layout could be a little bit smaller....

this is a solid build. No slow downs, No freeze ups

I always disable phone canvas because I believe the default is much faster, and it's even more faster when you disable keypad tones in phone settings.

I almost didnt' get the band tab in phone settings even after a hardreset, so I used advance config to disable the band tab soft reset then re-enable it soft reset again and now the band tab is there. plus I enable Time Zones which automatically change the time and date according to my carrier's network
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Hello there,

I have been looking forward to this build, So thanks for your hard work. I couldn't find a way to rotate the screen so I added my own cab, maybe thats what you meant. will test it over the next day or so and report back

Regards

Jay
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
rotating screen is done through start,settings,system,screen, select portrait or landscape. unless you meant auto rotate.

i am quite pleased with the curent build if i do say so myself.

still not sure about the keyboard, but i use the hardware keyboard for landscape, and ezinput is better in portrait mode.

let me know your thoughts on it and if needs be i will build one with standard keyboard suite.

as always suggestions comments welcome, i will do my best to accomodate time and patience permitting.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Ive been having a good play and once the screen rotate is done the keyboard is fine for me. Thanks for the screen rotate heads up, ive been using a PDA for years now and never noticed that on the screen bit. The one bit I dont like is the magnifier square that pops up from time to time, the text is good enough not to need it even with my old eyes. can it be switched off?

Regards

Jay
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
there's a zip file on the first post that will allow you to disable the magnifier....yeah, the magnifier sucks, I don't know what msft was thinking.

office 2007 and ring tones and sounds

Hello

first of this is a good ROM, fast and stable and if you are in the market for 6.5 then you could do worse then to try this.

Can someone tell me if they have got office 2007 working on the device, the one i have used in the past installs no problem but does not run...

Secondly; I am getting a "this ring tone is corrupt " message after i try to makes changes to the sound scheme... if i change the ring tone via the phone screen menu it works, but if I make a change via "sounds and notifications" it fails. I have tried changing all sounds to none but this did not help. I have also tried adding my own ringtones but to the same effect.

Is thier a third part program that would does this is it cannont be fixed?

help would be appriciated.

alex
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah, I have some problems with changing the sounds too, but it turns out that sounds that I add seems to work but the some of the ones that came with the rom doesn't work. on first flash the sounds work just fine, but after a hardreset they all don't seem to work. last night I had a random freeze.....and as I'm typing this I had another freeze up as soon as I hit the send button in sms (it actually restarted itself)....hmmm
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
i can cook office back into the rom i you guys want?

i think the ringtone issue is down to the registry settings for wmp, i am working on this and will report back with progress.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
yeah. I would like office.

this is a really good rom. congratulations. keep up the good work.

V good rom but v liitle ram

Hello everybody,

Avengerpenguin, I'd like to thank you for your hard and efficient work. I tried your rom yesterday and couldn't find any problems: runs smoothly and everything works pretty well.

There is one major problem, though. There is scaringly little ram left just after flashing and I'm afraid that when I want to run my GPS (Polish Automapa) and media player at the same time, I will have "out of memory" problems.

Is this related to spl 3.5 or the rom itself is so heavy?

I came back to taxist rom for spl 1.2 today in the morning and now have around 68MB ram, even after installing all my usuals (quite a few apps).

Can this rom be made for spl 1.2 and a bit lighter?

As for office, I don't really like the idea of putting it into the rom. Softmaker office is much better, even though we have to pay for it.

Thanks again for your excellent work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I can't seem to get a ported xip, I keep getting an error in dumpxip.bat for the new xip.bin....saying it can't find boot.rgu in the new xip. did you get the xip ported?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
/CHEER ;)

NB: I really hate this ****ing message "this message is too short"
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] hykhleif:
HEY GUYS JUST WONDERING

why is there no quick gps and opera can someone help me with getting the cab files.

how else would the gps work without quicj gps
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
quickgps is not in there because i didnt include it, i havent tested the gps, but dont belive that quickgps has anything to do with it working, as for the cab you with have to search for it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
the xip.bin posted will not port with visual kitchen, you will haveto manually port it to get the msxipkernel, however i have been having issues with this leak, there is something wrong with it when building, seems to have been messed about with, there is signs of a com5 build about, hellonasty has already cooked one for the blackstone
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
23081 build will be uploaded later tonight, has a basic one based on others builds but will be testing a hopefully more advanced build with newer additional packages
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] tulku77:
audio manager

when push the power button, will listening music? I had some problem.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah, I was checking it out this morning. it doesn't seem to have any new features in this build....maybe it's somewhere we can't see, but will see soon.

avenger, how you like this speed of this build?

EDIT: I have a question, how can I make registry edit's from the kitchen?

EDIT: I think I found it, is it the show editor right?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
To be honest this is not very high on my list of priorities I have many more fixes that I feel are more important at the moment, I believe that my advice last time you asked was if its very important to you that you may be better off with a different rom

I think there are some stabilty issues fixed from 23075, and apparently this is the arm that they will be doing all the UI/UX fixes on.

I am still waiting for some updated com5 releases which will be 235xx.

I havent had much time to test the speed etc, as I flashed it just before leaving for work today, will do some more work on it now and report back.

Reg edits are generaly done using promxml files there should be one in my kitchen for zzredirect which is the one for un-hiding the hidden input and owners settings, this is ideal due to the fact it is set to run as the last package, however it depends what you are trying to edit as some reg entries cannot be edited at build time and have to be done via cab file using runcc.

What reg entries are you wanting to change?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
tweaks for camera, menu font size and weight and some others...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
build 23502 is out, I'm gonna give it a test and see how things go with it. most people who test it already said it's basically the same as com3...they haven't said anything about speed or things like that. but will see how it goes on the athena :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Hello avenger and thank you very much for the new breath of life that you have brought to our Athena's:)

I was browsing the net yesterday and I came up to this:

http://www.gsmarena.com/windows_mobile_651_screenshots_appear_look_more_like_it-news-1204.php

May I ask if this is the same with the build 23502 mentioned in your last posting?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking, but if it's about the contacts and alarm clock settings then yes. it seems to be a nice build.

Avenger: i'm trying to use the 6.22 camera but I can't get it working yet. i placed it oemapps because that's where the 4.1 camera is placed....I'm going to try and remove the camera from there and have it in a package, that way it will be much easier to change cameras if need be.

I had placed in 6.8 camera but it was made for qvga so it doesn't work well. when I use 6.22 made for vga and try to cook I get a warning that gpsid was present in multiple places....I think this has something to do with taking geotaged photos in the new camera software. but when i get home later on I will look into this a little bit more.

I haven't done too much with the auto-rotate yet cause i want to get this camera working. there doesn't seem to be much difference with 23502 from 23081....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pda23:
did you ever post this build-i have checked page 1 but it is not there.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I can't seem to get this 6.22 camera working...I have I'm going to have to go back to 4.01....however, I sort of made some progress but nothing spectactular or usefull...will keep on hamering away at it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Havent uploaded yet was working on a new version but the packages seem to corrupt the bootloader, I will try and get a version uploaded tomorrow sometime as I have been away with the family for a couple of days so have not had any time to work on it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pda23:
Super-I was not sure if I missed a posting with the upload.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
sound like good times....make sure you have fun with the family, it's good for the heart and soul :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I'm still having no great progress on the new camera
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Where did the package come from?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
23081 build is up in post 1, have added tellme new voice software from microsoft, not tested much but speak slow!!!

Am building 23502 at the mo.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
23502 build also in post 1 now, think I have fixed network update time/date and media player should now continue playing on suspend on device but needs testing.

As always feedback appriciated, have had too many too drink to carry on cooking for tonight will carry on testing/cooking tomorrow

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Two releases at the same time. Which would you like us to flash? Where is feedback most needed?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] drkxdadvlp:
I will try both(my device past "Bricked Era" before !!!!)

:) I will try both ROMs

Hope it will OK !!! :rolleyes:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] KukurikU:
Thank You! i'll flash and feedback!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
23081 is from the same arm as most of my other builds and is apparently quite stable etc, 23502 is the first release from com5 and is supposed to be faster but ive not had much time to test, so feedback probabl most needed on 23502
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] duvanme:
Thanx bro for athena rom develeoper
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] bravogee:
i tried the 23081, its GREAT! cant find fault with it. its fast & stable BUT theres a big BETA notice on the today screen & will it really expire on 12/01/09 as stated in the notice?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
No it wont, the timebomb has been patched so it will not expire, its is possible to remove the beta notice using some reg edits, will have a look for them and let you know
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] KukurikU:
internet explorer - crashing

opera - does not finish installing and freezes at the end of install.

iris - crashing and for some reason the left and righ menu buttons shows the same thing.

any ideas? any other browser that work?

tried 3 versions of the ROMs posted here including the 8052 and the VGA one.

same result.

it could be nice if somebody could find the time to repair and maybe tweak this releases.

avengerpenguin, if u'll find the time of doing the above maybe somebody will use the donate link you added to yr sig. as for now....i don't think so...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AgentBignose:
I flashed the 23502 Version it is great!!!

But the Touch Keyboard doesnt work at all in Portrait and is not correctly central in landscape mode.

And the G-Sensor Button doesnt work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] bravogee:
my IE works fine . . @avenger, re:removing BETA notice, any news? i love this ROM(23081)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
go to settings, system, screnn, rotate screen to portait then do it back to landscape and it will fix keyboard

did you hard reset after flashing, coz no one else has reported any issurs with ie. also opera 9.5 and 9.7 work fine on mine, do a search in this thread for opera i think someone posted a working version. as for your comments about my donate link etc, i dont like you attitude i have not asked anyone for anything here, if you feel that strongly the i suggest you find a different rom to use, i do this for fun and to give something back to xda, not for finacial rewards etc.

yes i know which keys to chane now, was going to try and package them in a cab file today
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
I feel i have to give a little encouragement to Avengerpenguin in the light of some remarks made here.

my experience with your releases, in particular the 23081 and 23502 has been great. your roms are better than any other for my athena. until you started cooking I had resigned myself to 6.1

I can understand some peoples frustration when a rom doesnt run well but roms dont run the same on every device. there is another rom currently being developed for athena by a team of great developers. lots of people are delighted with it but it doesnt run well for me. I dont know why. Just my bad luck. I have two universals which do not run the same.

as others have said, you have put new life into our athenas

thanks for all your work.

BTW. AgentBignose. my keyboard doesnt work in XT9 mode. but is ok in ABC mode (beside the z key)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AgentBignose:
This solved both Keyboard Problemes.

Thank you very much.

Any guess about G-Sensor?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
G-Sensor I am really struggling with, I have spent countless hours trying to get autorotate working, but am still no closer.

I am going to try and pm some of the athena chefs who got this working in the hope that they can offer me some assistance, I am also going to look into the possibility of cooking the vueflow button to rotate the screen as a tempory measure
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Beta message 23081

for those who wish to remove or personalise the beta message on 23081 build this is the reg key that controls it, you can either delete the key to remove the beta message totally or edit it to change the message:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Device Beta]

"Today"="1.04" (This is the bit that did say BETA)

"Expiry"="by AvengerPenguin" (This is the expiry date)

"About"="- 1.04"

I havent tried these changes as I am using the 23502 build that doesnt have this

Let me know if it works
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] KukurikU:
you totally misunderstand me! i tried to be "subtle" and not bluntly write : "if u'll improve this version i'll donate 25$" and it seems that you took this the hard way...look back at my posts i thanked you over and over. i do not think that anybody in this forum is making a living from his donate link. :p

i donate because i want to reward the cooks and developers that spent time improving the soft of my toys and because i can afford to. as u can see from my sig i also donate to the forum. sorry if i let myself be misunderstood.:o

back to the real subject: went back again to the VGA version and suddenly the IE is working. installing Opera freezes my Athena somewhere at 70%. i'll look for and try to install the version posted here. Iris (another very good browser) shows me both "Page" and "Navigate" menus with the content of "Page"...very strange.

i hope to receive a PM from u with "apologies accepted":)

thank you (again) for staying with us, the (few) Athena users!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
I apologise, I have obviously taken this the wrong way. I read it as you having a dig at me for ie etc not working, sometimes I take things with the roms a bit personally given the amount of time I spend behind the scenes trying to improve our devices, hopefully all is forgotten now and I will try and take comments a bit more constructivly.

With regards to irus, I have not tried it on the athena. I use the opera 9.7b beta as it fits my needs the best, if you have no luck finding a working cab let me know and I will try and dig one out for you.
