Great news!

May I kindly ask you to include your RealVGA in V3, or can you make it separate .cab?

Thank you in advance for the ROM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
it will be included, right now I'm trying to find the cause of the gap on the today screen and dialer when using anything other than the native 192DPI settings....I've figured out the gap in the start menu though, so one down 2 to go :rolleyes:

(it's kind of hard to find though....but it seems others who have found don't want to share, but anyone who wants my solution I'll give them with no problem)

EDIT: update, 2 down......1 to go

I think I asked before - but can one of you more experienced people tell me....

If I backup my phone (spb backup), run the new rom when it comes out - what happens when I restore my backup? Or is that just unsafe, and in theory I should make a list of what I need to re-install & restore settings for?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Generaly speaking it is safe and effective to use a full backup only if you flash the same rom again.

Now speaking through experience with my friend's HD2 we have used spb backup and sprite backup to restore a full backup succesfully even when we flashed different roms from topix but in the case of the Athena I trully do not know what the outcome will be.

If your concern are contacts, calendar (appointments), tasks, messages (sms not mms and e-mail) even pim backup 2.8 would perform fine. But the transfer of programs, registry entries, mms and e-mail, well that might not work 100% even if the creators of the two former programs imply the opposite.

Also take a look here, I believe that you will find the info usefull:

Hiya lennie,

Just installed 3.00.0 nice and painless install and flies along, just got to reinstall my software again. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Well done Lennie!

I have to admit that I am a hard core 6.1 user myself and 6.5 has never rocked my boat. its slow clunky and crude looking in my view. But i am not a man to say never, so I have tried your latest Rom........It has to be one of the best looking roms I have used. Now im not a Hulk fan so swapped the hulk for a personal picture ;) I think I shall stick with this Rom now, its far better than a stock rom, WM 6.5 has grown up!

sdhc card

Hello everybody

I have a problem with microsd (16gb sandisk) which i didn't have using 6.1 roms. Quite often after a reset wm doesn't see the card and half of my programs do not work. When I checked with file explorer wm created a folder called storage card and when it recognises my old proper card finally it gets the name storage card 2. I tekes a few resets and name changing to bring everything back to normal.

I guess wm 6.5 needs more time to see the card after booting but it only happens in wm 6.5.

My question: has anybody come across this problem and may possibly provide a lasting solution?

thanx in advance
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Its not a problem I've ever had myself, but I'm wondering if your sd card is a little slow? does it say what class it is on it? its normally a little c and a number, 6 is the best one. you would get the same thing happen if you took out the SD card and fired up the Athena. I stopped putting programs onto an SD card now, and only use them for storage. It depends how many programs you use, but I tend to use the main storage area.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mietulo:
Hello,

Yes I guess it might be so as the number is 4. I just wander if I install a lot of software in the main storage, will I still have the same amount of available RAM? I had an impression that the RAM shrank when installing software there but I might be wrong.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
It shouldn't have any effect on ram how much storage you use. make a backup and try it out, cant do any harm.

Im suprised a class 4 is to slow though, ive just looked and my micro sd is class 4 too.

task manager and shortcut to adjust backlight

great ROM. thx.

Don't really like 6.5 at first, but seeing your AGB 3.0 really made me change my mind :)

Really need sometimes to get used to it :)

In 6.1 usually I use the task bar to switch between active program, currently I use button shortcut to activate task manager. is there any better alternative other than this ?

one more thing, in HTC home screen, there was a shortcut for me to easily toggle between screen backlight brightness, so no need to always go to settings - backlight - adjust brightness.

Is there anyway I can do this in this ROM or is there any application I can download to do this ?

Thank you...

Hello again

Keep hearing great things about your ROM!

This will be my very first ROM upgrade on my 7501. I read every page of this thread to see others' challenges and can't wait to try it. My radio is only 1.47 so will have to look that up before I attempt it. The devotion to this ROM and the input of those who've tried it is very commendable. Thanks for keeping a great device fresh. Will document any challenges I encounter that are not listed already. By the look of it, there will be none. Thank you, again.

I hate quoting an older post, but I am curious about GFXBoost.. From everything i have read, the software is not designed for our hardware... is there a special version out there that I am missing?

I ask, because i am using this rom, and actually quite like it, but would be happy to get rid of that last little bit of scrolling lag that i get with it. I Know GFXB is supposed to help, but only on Qualcomm hardware.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
:) sounds good, just remember to make sure that you have hardspl 3.5 for the athena installed before you start the flashing

I've been having trouble with the commManager 128dpi, but i feel that I'll come up with a solution soon....I have an idea, not sure if it will work because what works in theory doesnt always go so well in practice :rolleyes:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cur10us:
For anyone doing this to a 7501 for the first time...

Read everything!

Lennie, the install went perfect. This is really cool. If I'd known it'd be this straight forward I'd done it a long time ago. From reading the posts, I bumped up my SPL from 1.1.xx(I don't remember) to 1.20 with Olimex, then installed AP4 to bump it up to 3.50, then your ROM. (I read portions of the new Cussler book, "Corsair" in the middle of the upgrades and returned to my computer to go the next round. It was smooth as glass.

The only challenges I noticed is that there is a little lag here and there but small price to pay. Then this afternoon I was unable to sync it with Outlook 2007. I've read of this challenge in the posts so will look it up. That Teeter game is addictive, I played for an hour last night, well, 1:00am before I knew the time passed!!

Great ROM, Lennie!! :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Oberth:
GFXBoost seems to work for me (or is it a placebo?)

Hello Divine_Madcat,

One of Lennie's pervious releases had GFXBoost cooked in and from playing about with it I felt it did speed up certain things but not everything. As his later releases no longer had it I installed it on the off chance it might help and again on some games it seemed to help but on others there was no difference.

Although GFXBoost is aimed at the qualcomm innards it's a fairly generic piece of software in the actual manner it accelerates, also the qualcomm graphics were partially derived from the ATI technology used in ours hence why some of the later phones were never graphically better performing as they were hampered by similar naff half written drivers that ours are.

I have attached the copy I am using all I can say is give it a whirl and see :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Divine_Madcat:
Thanks for the info and .cab; ill give it a go now.

One other question specific to V3. I notice that the battery meter doesn't seem to be very specific - my battery went from 100% to 90% with nothing inbetween. I know its only an estimate anyway, but being able to see the smaller steps can help estimate battery life better (at least to me).

Otherwise, a very nice rom. Thanks!

Is Teeter available in cab form or do you need to cook it in? I must admit it would be nice to try it out on the athena. Its available on the G1 and was great fun.

Hi

Hi,

I think I can answer the teeter question for you. you need to have the Athena in portrait mode first for it to start, I made the same mistake too.

As for your other program try a soft reset, and also see if it is put in a sub directory as well. Hope this helps

Hello everybody

Lennie, I still think your rom is great. However, there seems to be some incompatibility between the rom and my sandisk 16gb micro sdhc, which repeatedly disappears after a softreset and I have to take it out and insert it again to make the system see it.. I have already written about it on this forum and tried various solutions, in vain. I'd be happy if sb cold take a look into this issue as I like the new wm very much. For now I have come back to Taxist's ultralight rom - no problems with a disappearing sd card whatsoever.

Thanx again for hard work.

system freeze

Hi Lennie, after few times my device freeze, I noticed that it is caused by closing file manager from task manager.

Closing File Manager from task manager is ok as long as the File Manager is the active application (the last application you used).

But if you opened File Manager, then switch to other application, then run Task manager (I tried using original task manager and arkswitch), then close (end task) the file manager, or end task all, my device will surely freeze.

Is this bug only happened to me or anybody else experience this ?
