I didnt' get the email yet. however at current the rom is a bit near release. I'm just testing it out a bit longer to see how far battery life and memory usage goes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Sorry about the delay lennie but I've had an accident the previous day and I've just got home from the hospital:)

So.. you've got mail my friend!

Happy cooking lennie!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Happy you're still with us. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Me too:)

Thank you for your kind words!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
oh, wow. I'm sorry to hear that you had an accident. I'm hoping it's not serious. well the fact that you went to the hospital means it was serious. but I'm hoping it's not too bad.....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Just a heavy sprangled ankle and a couple of fractured (hopefully not broken) ribs due to my loss of concentration because of a very sexy group of Australian beauties:)

The pavement was very slippery and the smile of Amanda was so dissorienting to say the least.

The good thing is that she was kindly enough to accompany me to the local hospital, the not so good thing was that her group departed this morning but we exchanged emails and I believe that something very nice is going to emerge from this.

What about the autorotation and teeter thing lennie, did they worked under the 6.5.3 environment?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hehehehe, something like that happened to me once, but it wasn't that serious, it was just me missing the entry way to the door and walked right into the side of it :o

yes, autorotation and teeter worked really nicely, however, I haven't cooked them in yet. I just tested if they worked and they did. I'm also going to include gsen in the rom to enable rotation to the four sides. thank you for the files they're a real help.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
You're welcome lennie:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hey guys sorry for the delay but there's a little conflict going on with the autorotation and some applications. I'm half passed out with the flu but I'm still trying to get this thing done
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
Dont apologise! Take as long as you need. We all appreciate the work that goes into this. looking forward to having the autorotate working again. well done.

Thanks to you too ioannisman. rest your bones and send a few emails to Australia:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Best wishes for a complete and lighting fast recovery lennie.

Take your time my friend health issues come at top priority, I strongly believe that your little Athena would fully concur to that:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Yes sir, I will try to do my best:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Maybe nice to let you guys know... Syncing with 1.01.1 does work. With me 1.01.2 failed to sync. Cheers.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
ok guys, I will upload soon between tonight and tomorrow morning.

but here is the change log at current:

1.) I had put 4 colormns in the start menu, but after testing that out, it turns out that scrolling can become not smooth at times (and I don't like that) so I made some changes and put only 2 (you can always change it if you like)...at present it takes 2 flicks to get to the bottom of the menu. :)

2.) taskbar enhancement with Brians BWTaskBar

3.) Fingerkeyboard 2.1 with no arrows (skin Green and Black). I didn't set it as default because sometimes cooking in sips as defaults can have bad effects when trying to change the default.

4.) HTC Quick GPS

5.) Q-GPS (something like quick gps)

6.) AdobePDF reader 2.5

7.) Tweaked context menu to run faster

8.) Added Total commander 2.52B2

9.) iBattery

10.) DictMgr .8.6.1 (it's a sweet little utility. DictMgr is a collection of 5 utilities used to modify the built-in or add-on dictionaries (used by third party input software) and one reference tool. however, only some of the utilityes work: WordCorrector (I love this), AcronymReference, Touchpal editor, T9Editor(requires phonePad by HTC to be installed), DictEditor only works for wm5 and bellow.

11.) ArkSwitch (this is a lovely little light weight task manager, I recommend this to every windows mobile user. to activate it just touch the upper left hand corner of the taskbar. it works from any program that shows the taskbar. no need to use the built in task manager anymore, this one is right there at the top of the taskbar.:rolleyes:

12.) updated ATI d3d drivers (actually doubled the minimum 3D fps! sweet! it's still really low, however, it's better than before):D

13.) some other tweaks.

14.) the ROM is autorotation enabled (but it's not enabled by default, so you will have to install gsen I will upload this also.)

15.) teeter is included vga style

There's a little problem with the autorotation and some apps that I can't seem to figure out just yet. when a program uses the gsensor, it deactivates the gsen app so you will have to hit gsen toggle button (stice) to activate gsen again. :confused:

I will also upload a lite edition too. screen shots will be up soon.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Oaou, you have surpassed yourself lennie this is a major release compared to your previous one:)

Our Athena's are ready to rock and roll my friend, congratulations and a big thank you for all your efforts lennie!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
ok guys, 1st post is updated, v1.20.1 is uploaded. if there's any problems let me know so I can correct it as soon as possible. enjoy.....it's 3:58am now, need some sleep if I'm going to get over this flu.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
:D, I'm half passed out from this Nyquil....I think I took too much, well I guess some sweet sleep is coming along. can't wait for this flu to be over.

but enjoy the release, if there's any problems in the rom I'm blaming it on the flu :D:D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] NuttyBuddy:
New ROM

Just installed Thanks for your hard work. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
So impressed with this new ROM. To bad my sync problem is back so I probably need to go back to 1.10.1 :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
so the nyquil wore off about 9 hours later and now I' up again. when you plug in your phone to your computer does the USB icon comes on the taskbar of the phone (like in the picture attached)? if that comes up, you can just start up windows device center and it should detect the phone and connect.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
First off thanks for responding to my problem. To awnser your question yes the icon appears. But just like ROM 1.10.2 the phone does not sync. WMDC gives an error and says if the problem persists I should delete partnerships and reestablish them.

This didn't solve my problem with ROM 1.10.2. Went back to the Averpenguin ROM and syncing was possible. Though well why not try your older 1.10.1 and there syncing was no problem eighter.

So I'm baffled... (is that a correct English word ;))
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yeah it's a correct english word:).

I can't replicate the problem here, so it's hard to find out what's really the cause.

however, for the time being you can backup ur contacts and such with the myphone app, or use pimbackup to backup everything from sms to call logs. but I'll try to figure this thing out.

is anyone else having this problem?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Thanks for the advise. The problem there is I use my phones calander for work related apointments so I'll need to revert back to 1.10.1. Well maybe tomorrow I am done playing with my phone for today.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
ok, I thought might be work related...I'll be taking a good look into this
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] RottenRay:
Hi Lennie,

Yes I'm having this same problem. It's giving me the

error.

Which is too bad at this point because this is looking to be the slickest Athena ROM yet. I did the deleting and re-creating etc. etc. but no joy. This had never happened on my device with your previous or Avenger Penguin's previous ROMs on my device.

Debating a flashback or a hold on until something clicks in the collective minds around here and produces yet another brilliant solution.

Just wanted to say that I love your work so far...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Sounds a bit foolish. But GREAT you have the same problem. Was beginning to think it was just me. So thanks. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] RottenRay:
Misery loves company :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
after you delete the partnership make sure you end the wmdc process tree in the task manager and restart the phone (and computer, not really needed since the wmdc process tree was killed), wait until the phone is fully restarted then plug it back up to the computer, wait for the USB to kick in then start up device center if it isn't started autmatically. check if this helps.....

EDIT: I'm trying to replicate this problem here but it's just happening
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] RottenRay:
Tried this and it doesn't work. Does the fact I'm on XP and am using Activesync 4.5.0 make any difference? I even did another hard reset and tried to sync it right away before anything else was installed - didn't work...

There's something different about this release vs. the previous one that's causing this as I've never had this consistent a problem before.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I don't think because you're on xp has anything to do with it because Mabury10 is using windows 7. yeah this release is a bit different because I did a lot of registry changes (now I have no clue which is causing the problem for you guys)

which firewall are you guys using? I would say try disabling the firewall for a little while then try to make the connection. the thing is, the phone is connecting through USB, however, active sync/wmdc is not getting through. so to me it seems something is blocking it (it's sort of weird though because the other releases worked). and it seems of all the downloads only you two are having sync issues...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mcpell:
I too am having a sync issue. However, it doesn't seem to be relegated to WMDC.

I tried removing the partnership, killing wmdc, soft resetting the device, reconnecting to no avail.

I then decided to just try syncing wirelessly - I really just need to get my email/calendar/contacts in exchange set up.

Well, just doing a wireless sync with echange doesn't work. I get an error. It's a 0x80004005.

I just did a hard reset (after the obligatory first one) and did not reconnect to WMDC - just tried to sync with exchange wirelessly as normal and I still get the same error code.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I can see that it's an issue with the rom then. I'm going to try something tomorrow and see if I can norrow down or eliminate the problem.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Yeap, the same dreaded activesync support code 80004005 error came to me also:)

After searching the net the following four solutions to the problem were found:

1. Remove the Athena from the ActiveSync session with your desktop.

2. Open Outlook on your desktop and run Help -> Detect and Repair.

3. ActiveSync your Athena and see if the problem is fixed.

4. If the problem persists, repeat Step 1.

5. Run scanpst.exe on your desktop.

6. Repeat Step 3.

1) Delete all slash ("/") in my labels in Gmail

2) Delete relationship

3) Recreate the relationship (calendar+mail+contact)

4) Everything is syncin'

1. Remove .dsm file(s) from \Windows\ directory (Athena)

2. Soft reset .

1. Try a different rom:)

In my case only the fourth option provided a remedy for the problem but I truly wish that others would be more lucky:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
It's too bad cause I really like this ROM. Currently I'm still using your latest ROM without contacts and calendar. Don't know if my boss will let me I'm taking the risk of forgetting apointments.

Kind regards.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Oberth:
Problem with cursor movement

Hiya Lennie,

I decided to take a plunge and try 1.20.1 yesterday and in general liking it quite a bit seems a bit slow but not sure if it's just the new menus and such but overall a great effort I look forward to what you cook up next :)

One minor niggle that has cropped up on my install is that I sometimes cannot use the joystick, hardware cursor keys, onscreen cursor keys or delete. Not sure if it's from after running a certain app so will do some more testing and update you but thought I would highlight it in case anyone else runs into it.

Also Quick GPS seems to not run fullscreen I get the top left and most of the download button appear but the rest is mixed in with the homescreen behind it also it will not download updates from O2 but that may be a net settings thing so will experiement some more there as well.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] gcp72:
Hi!

I try the last version, 1.20, and it looks very nice! I have the syncro problem but I can wait a solution because I normally use pimbackup before burn a rom. Is faster than other versions, more fluid movements, and icons looks better. Other icons have to be renewed. And some launchers are repeated, for exemple, comm manager in settings folder.

Unfortunately, 128dpi don't looks like than 192dpi on top icons.

And finally, it's my opinion, due to the big screen I prefer four columns without text, like tomal v12 on universal...

See you!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
leaving aside the sync issue (yes me too.) this is a really good rom.

thanks for cooking the standard keyboard back in and g sensor working again WOHOO! nearly got caught playing teeter in work:)

get the sync fixed and this ROM would be one of my favorites.

Thanks and keep up the good work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mcpell:
Any idea what registry values you changed? Seems likely that would be where the problem is at considering this is the same base ROM as your V1.01.

If you can do a diff of some sort we could collectively research them and find the fix.

McP
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] paulspiteri:
This rom is great. Thanks a lot and keep it up....

The auto-rotation is cool too. Cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] blakkheartt12:
Hey Lennie,

Great update, but it does seems a little slower than the previous version. Also my battery indicator keeps saying I'm charging even though its not plugged in.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
hi lennie,

great rom! a few issues though. the speed is indeed slower and i dont know if its just me but whenever i install the point ui, the speed is terribly sluggish.

lastly, i noticed also that there might be a battery leak problem. hope this can be fixed as i really love your rom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] monkeybutler365:
I found this so slow as to be unusable- 30 second wait times on following a command. I'm presuming something went wrong with my flash, so I've flashed back to the Athena Project Beta, which works really well.

Out of interest, how quick have others found 6.5.3 roms on their devices?

Forgot to say- really pleased there are still some cooks around for this device! Will try your next version for sure!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I'm looking for 1 or 2 people who had the sync problem with v1.20.1 to do some beta testing for me. if interested and have the time just send me a pm. it might take me a while to send you the download link, but it will be sent.

I' not around my kitchen right now but I just thought I would send out the request for testers now.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] paulspiteri:
I too am having the exchange sync problem - 0x80004005 :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
ok guys, I think I found out what caused the sync issue.

I'll be sending the PMs soon.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mabury10:
Thanks for your trouble and hard work. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Muchos gracias lennie:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pocketNick:
sync issue

First of all, thank you for your hard work!

I played around with your ROM for about 3 days. Now I'm (temporarily) back on stock ROM because of sync issue. Hope it will be fixed, because your ROM for me, at least, is much better than stock one. Just one example: your ROM lets me open huge (45 MB) pdf file, which is not impossible on any of wm6.0 & 6.1 ROM.

For my everyday work for syncing beside of WMDC I use KayoneSync and EasySync. Just in case, you don't know/use them:

1. KayoneSync is to be used for SprintDB syncing (.pdb to .mdb and vice-versa conversions);

2. EasySync is to be used to sync what-ever-you-want-folder on PC with what-ever-you-want-folder on PPC.

I'm glad to report, that both of them worked fine. Actually WMDC also worked - I was able to sync Favorites folder.

Because KayoneSync and EasySync both uses ActiveSync or WMDC, it looks like the sync issue is strictly POL related. As soon I turned on Contacts or any other POL item sync, I got the error message mentioned in posts above. And vice-versa - as soon I turned POL item sync off, I was able to sync Favorites folder again.

Even if I got error message, KayoneSync and EasySync worked fine.

Hope this can help you to narrow your search and thus help to fix the sync issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
new release is about to be out. but I'm sending it out to Beta testers first. PMs will be out in a few minutes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] HDJ80:
What is the result of testing?

I tried this ROM and I think is excellent, but I need activesync works perfectly.

Thank you very much.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I think I found a way to increase the wifi, however it will use more power.

so I'm asking a question to everyone: would u want to get better wifi performance at the cost of battery? or less performance and better battery life?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mcpell:
I've never found the battery life when on wi-fi to be good, no matter the configuration. So, I only use it when I need it (big download, access to something on network, no cell reception (but hotspot nearby).

So, I would vote for better sensitivity and lower battery life.

Just my 2 cents...

McP
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] blakkheartt12:
I would like a better wifi performance. I'm 99.9% of the time near an energy source. :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] RottenRay:
Don't shoot me Lennie, okay?

Is there a way that this could be a setting we could adjust, or is it a design decision made at the cooking stage that the user has no input on?

I'll stand in the minority and say battery life...but that's just because I've got oodles of data I'm nowhere near fully utilizing with my carrier.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
I assume battery life will only be affected when the wifi is switched on so RottenRay should be ok...right?

I vote for performance.

maybe we need that "how to" for XCPUScaler you mentioned in post #3 lennie
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
Thumbs up for better wifi performance for me too lennie (but you already knew that:)!).

May I ask if the wifi power options, best performance or best battery, will have an influence in the actual battery consumption?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] PaulKen:
to be honest guys, we dont know how much power the wifi was drawing back when roms had better reception and we dont know how big an impact lennie's tweak will make

just like some others, I have a feeling it was better but cant prove it.

lets try it and see. feedback from users will tell us if it is worth it. thats what its about here

Go Lennie!

:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ftoz:
battery life

i wish one thing from new rom. When i use athena as 3g modem, it drains so much battery. even i chage it trough usb, battey goes down. This thing makes unusable athena as modem for a long time. mayby turn off microdrive will help for it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
I don't know what to do guys. I want to release the ROM but the exchange sync issue is still there. it's busting my brain open on one side....I can't find a fix :confused:. regular sync works with no problems but it just doesn't sync with exchange....

AGB is now running build 28223 (leaked 28 of Jan 2010)

I'm thinking to release it for those who don't depend on exchange

while I continue to try and find a solution to the exchange problem....

however, with the exchange problem I feel like it's half done...and I don't want to put out a "half done" ROM...

So I'm asking everyone, if they would want it released in it's current state?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] NuttyBuddy:
NEW ROM

I've been waiting for a new ROM, so for me, I would like to see a release now while you continue to work on the issue with the sync problem with exchange. In the meantime, thanks for all your hard work.;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] RottenRay:
Almost there...

Lennie, while I die a little inside every time I flash, rebuild and get the dreaded 80004005, this ROM is stable, fast, and slick (and keep the Hulk picture - my daughters mocked me when they saw the cute elf girl.)

With the proper "buyer beware" warnings you could release it now and many would be satisfied, never knowing about exchange sync problems under the hood (which I believe you will eventually solve) - as long as you will keep working on it, I, for one, will be willing to beta for you as someone who wants/needs the exchange stuff to work...

You're going to have to release something - the villagers are getting restless! :)

And who knows - maybe one of the bright lights out there will spot exactly what's causing the problem...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ioannisman:
The same stands for me lennie, please release your rom the synch problem may or may not be solved over time but I personally don't care much about that and the curiosity to test my Athena in terms of its wifi performance is just killing me:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kendedel:
please release your new rom lennie, i dont use exchange so it wont be a bother for me at all really (sorry for sounding selfish-he3x)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
New ROM is up. Comm Manager works well in portrait mode, however in landscape mode press the "D-stick" to toggle on/off.

Made some "under-the-hood" changes

4 columns in start menu.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
mcpell I want to say thank you for the pm to the Microsoft exchange online, with that I am able to test the betas much much faster and already I think I've found a solution (I'm not so sure yet, but I think I found it). now I'm getting a "the configuration on your exchange server prevents you from synchronizing (hehehe, not sure if I set up the online server right but it seems to be connecting). well, let me setup a proper beta and send out to testers.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Oberth:
Nice job lennie

Just installed 2.10 and so far it's all good, a lot of the laginess has gone and seems a lot faster all round. Whatever you've done behind the scenes it seems to be doing the trick.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] gcp72:
Hello!

I'm traying new version 2.10.0... it looks fantastic, 4 or 5 columns app...

But no RealVGA1.1 with your 128dpi resource?
