Don't let them get you down man. Ervius's kitchen is a piece of **** in my opinion. The GUI blows and it crashes on the smallest thing that's not exactly right with a package. Did I mention the GUI is horrible ?

I will say it as well, erv's kitchen is NOTHING but a glorified GUI for platformrebuilder which is the real workhorse.

p.s. I made my own kitchen GUI, based on platformrebuilder as well. Mine's designed to cook for 12 devices at a time though... so I can't exactly share it. PM me if you'd like the details necesssary to make Samsung Omnia 2 ROMs with prb though, it seems nobody else seems to know what the "secret" is... :rolleyes: I just think they didn't try hard enough. lol If anything, you can add 4 more devices to your already impressive collection of supported devices :)

A WWE thread here in the Chef Central by you wouldn't be a bad idea!! All the new changes with the latest release, some screenshots, etc. I think your kitchen would become a lot more popular than EVK or OSKitchen.

Ok I notice I cannot access my address book and just add all the people that I would like to send the text to at once. It seems like I have to type their name in order the a drop down menu to add them. Is there a way to a access my phone book and add who every I like to the text message instead of looking them up?
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
The stock app on the phone is ok but I prefer Handcent Sms app free from the market. A lot of people also rate ChompSMS highly too.

On Handcent you can put a tick next to the name of who you want to send to from a list however a word of warning you have to have their mobile number first on their contact page in your phone book. Its the same on a couple of apps that use phone numbers so it took me a bit of fiddling to start with to sort my phone book out but its a one off job and works perfectly after that.

Handcent gives you speech bubble style of interface and is very customisable with the colours/fonts/contact photo etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] fixedtrd:
Thanks Handcent is great.

Right now with all the new kenels with have manage to approach 60fps. But it will never be smooth enough if we dont get the stutter fix.

Before u begin and say that your phone does not have the stutter, well it does. The problem is at any window such has contact if u swipe u get a very smooth scrolling but if you hold your finger and scroll very slowly u will see microstutter and not a smooth scrolling.

Im not sure if this has been posted before and dont know if it might be the screen or actual Os

Im holding the zune hd & iphone. Both device does not suffer from this microstutter

Strange I have no stutter using fresh 3.2 with stock kernel.

[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Oh really?
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
Strange I do have stutter using fresh 3.2 with stock kernel.

And I agree with OP. I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed this. When flicking through homescreens on launcher pro (or even sense) the scrolling is completely smooth. When you hold your finger on the screen and move it, it stutters and makes very tiny jumps. It's not appealing. It's great we've been able to crack the 30fps limit despite HTC's unhelpful attitude. I think the next step would be to get rid of the stuttering.
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
I have the same exact issue and have noticed this from day one. It's quite annoying. I thought the fix for fps would stop it, but I was wrong. I've tried to ignore it, but such a thing cannot be ignored by my eyes. It's noticeable every time and more annoying each time.
[EVO 4G General] scev5:
I have been bothered by this since day one also. its the only negative thing a colleague of mine (blackberry user) has to say when he compares iphone to evo. its there wether you notice or not
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
When "slowly" dragging my finger to change screens I see that initial stutter but I'm not seeing the "jumping." Or is it that initial stutter?

Usually flicking through the screens as fast as my finger can go and it looks smooth as a babies .... bowel movement. :D
[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
it won't be noticeable until you have an iphone or zune hd, who ever saids that it's not there is because they have not notice it at all. i have use all fresh roms and still have it.

Go to a website or to contacts and swipe to scroll, you will see a very butter smooth scrolling. Have a iphone on hand and do the same, you'll that the smoothness is about the same. Now grab the screen with your finger and slowly without let in go of the finger scroll up or down. You'll see a microstutter which is very obvious when you compare it to a OS like iphone or Zune HD (and from video do not see it in wm7). Is very annoying. I have the iphone 4g next to me and can tell you that the scrolling between home screens are about the same smoothness wise (using launcher pro with king's kenel #8). But the microstutter is so obvious between devices that is to hard not to notice.

like i said, i'm not sure if this is due to the screen or what, i'll try it on my sister nexus but is good that could take a development look into this problem aswell.
[EVO 4G General] MaliciousOne:
Maybe a nova/epson difference. Because my nova does not stutter.

[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
Nova is what i have at the moment and this happens. running Evio, my friend with me right now has an epson running fresh and does it has well.
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
The people who claim they don't have it are simply not seeing it, but it's definitely there. It's on my brother's evo, mine, and my friends.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Honestly have to say I forgot what the sense contacts evn look like..if even different from aosp cm6...but if memory serves it is slightly and I get a smooth scroll. Went to some image heavy sites and notices that pictures sorta pixelate a bit when slowly scrolling but text bodies and links scroll smooth when inching along. Using dolphin HD over stock if that counts for anything. Like I said I see a slight stutter on homescreens initially but it scrolls smooth and as said maybe the aosp isn't giving me issues. Not sure?
[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
i have tried CM6 and still there. It will always be smooth with any rom, even more with cm6, but this is something else. Is something with how the screen detects the scrolling touch while holding it.

like i said before, you'll not really notice it much until you see an iphone and compare both side by side. Then you'll see the problem i'm talking about.
[EVO 4G General] Shyfe:
as a previous iPhone user, this was the first thing I noticed when I got the phone. the scrolling just isn't as smooth.

[Off-topic] wdfowty:
When sending a message, you have to click the check box that says something like "save copy to sent folder". It's right below the text box, above the button to send. It took me a few times to figure this out too.

The messages aren't saved automatically because there is a limit on how many messages you can keep at one time.

All,

I am new to HTC Desire and rooted my device thanks to this forum. I am interested however, to better understand the ROM that I just burned on my device. For example, the battery consumption is relatively high; I have to charge my phone more often; there are more applications installed etc.

I used the r6-desire-root-alp.zip file that the forum refers to. Is there a way to get the source code for this ROM?

Thanks, Lebnen

[Droid X General] inzandity:
Yes they would cover it as long as you don't say it was because of modding. Just say it was an OTA update that hosed the phone.

Either way, you always have the SBF to reflash the OS no matter what so it shouldn't come down to that
[Droid X General] Corales:
Snap the phone in half. I work part time in mobile and we could careless about checking the software. We send you up to geek squad they document the problem ( phone in half) then ship it to our third party repair center. They can't fix a phone in pieces cause it cost more to repair. They email us to give you credit towards the new phone in store. Brand new droid.

is there someone experienced enough to tell if this can be done or not?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mietulo:
It's a shame, but I have been visiting this forum for a year or two now and must say - this forum is dead. It's a shame because , looking at new tablet pcs and similar devices entering the market, I think athena still is a good device, offering a lot of possibilities. Unfortunately I know nothing of ROM cooking and all the cooks have left us. Too bad
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] hdbueller:
Unfortunately, this is the way with all devices these days..... ;) I still use my Athena as a backup unit in case I muck up one of my other units....LOL

Later........... B)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cphilip:
I also think the HTCx7500 continues to be a good device. The things that is attractive with the new devices is the advancement of touch screen technology. Cypress true touch technology for example offer not only multi touch but also the ability to do hovering because the screen can sense the finger as soon as the finger is near the screen.

Undeniably Nice to play and might offer conveniences to a certain degree. But unless there is a way to browse the net as fast as a proper laptop or a way to do document processing or powerpoint slides editing 70% as efficiently as a desktop, what the newer device can offer as compared to HTC x7500 is just cosmetics. I can get the same job done with not much of a problem with the Athena as compared to the newer devices.

So, the things that will attract me to newer devices will be

1. Faster internet browsing

2. Document processing / slide editing

3. Looonger battery life

4. Snappiness of the operating system even after installing many programs

5. softwares availability - not specially controlled by a central "market" and all software makers have to pass their work to them and let their work be distributed by one central point where users can download and use free or paid.

Zooming with 2 fingers or 5 fingers is interesting but zooming by just pushing my athena directional buttons up and down isn't such a difficult job either.

Special today's page / Home menus like the ones in Androids or iphones are also not something difficult to reproduce or customized under windows mobile. :)

Athena still rocks!

Something different

The prices of these babies have dropped so much that I just bought one recently... after using various newer HTCs, etc, that are all basically the same, this ancient gadget was actually a breath of fresh air. Besides the marginal interior updates, OS versions, and the gradual screen size upgrades, I really can't figure out what's inherently different with almost all smartphones today... although using the athena needs somewhat of a change in mindset (especially of what is a phone), having something different to play with is already a big plus and an actual experience.... please phone makers, lets make the effort of trying to do something different and not just marketing something as different.

I want to browse the internet, do some emailing, write something in my blog, check auction sites, watch youtubes, can the HTC x7500 handle that? (YES - Opera mini, streaming player, etc)

I want to do some word processing, write a novel, edit some documents, and make sure the work can be in sync with my laptop/desktop. Can the HTC x7500 handle that? (YES - pocketword. document2go, softmaker textmaker, pnotepad)

I want to go through my powerpoint slides and rehearse, re position/re sort the slides, correct a few wordings and make sure i can keep both the slides i have in my desktop and my pocketpc in sync, can the HTC x7500 handle that? (YES - pocket powerpoint, clear vue slides, ...)

I want to enjoy listening to some mp3, can the HTC x7500 handle that? (YES - tcmp player, coreplayer)

I want to watch some movies in avi, wmv, flv, rm, mp4 format, can the HTC x7500 handle that? (YES - tcmp player with the correct codecs)

I want to do some voice recording, can the Athena handle that? (YES - resco audio recorder)

I want to share some photos album with friends sitting together in a restaurant, can the Athena handle that? (YES - resco picture viewer)

I want to connect to internet using 3g/ HSDPDA, because WIFI is unavailable, can the ATHENA handle that? (YES - just make sure 3G services in my data card is active)

I want to transfer file from pc, mobile phone to Anthena or transfer from my athena to my friend's mobile phone without using wires, can the Athena handle that? (YES - bluetooth connections, mocha ftp server, ...)

I wan to play some games, ?? (YES - gba emulator, nes..., playstation 1 emulator, Java, Just games made for pocket pc, etc)

I don't see what the other devices (androids or Ipods) can do that i cannot do with my ATHENA. Yes, I would love it if there is a way to try out putting ANdroids os in my athena but it will be just for fun and to know that there is one more choice of os i can use if i feel like it. Honestly, if there is a 7 inch windows mobile device, I might consider.:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cphilip:
One of the MOST important thing that keeps me monitoring the android development is actually BATTERY LIFE (7 hrs with wifi on) and fast zooming.

Many people who try to impress me with android will show me how smooth the screen scrolls here and there with just a flick of the finger. Impressive but when i stop to think over, I realized that i am not going to spend my whole time flicking the screen here and there and just for the thrill to see how the screen can actually change simply by a flick of a finger.

What i will do mostly is click on a program i need to use and start typing or imputing. Scrolling and panning is only useful when i am reading long documents like webpages or ebooks. That is why i like isilo because it allows you to scroll without the need to use the scroll bar.

Fast zooming is another thing that i would like to see on mobile devices. The kind of fast zooming used in opera browsers and netfront browsers are heading in the right direction. FAst zooming is already something that is fast developing even under windows mobile environment.

So, in the end, it comes to a matter of which operating system uses less battery power and will allow longer battery life.:)

My Athena is going on ebay this weekend because I have one of these now, might be something to look into for the rest of you, as there is an active hacker community too:

http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pandigital_Novel

I only used the Athena as a nightstand emailer/websurfer/weatherchecker, so I have no use for a phone. It worked well enough for that, but the PDN is even better for my needs, and now works with android market. Very cool not to have to activesync to move downloaded cabs to the athena, plus there won't be much activity for winmo anymore since everything is incompatible with wp7 as I understand, while android market is just beginning. Just found a solution that works for my needs, and thought I would share it. Athena was good to me, but it's time for her to move on about her life's work.

Fashion

It does seem a shame that just as big screen devices like this one are coming into fashion this forum has fallen into disuse. It doesn't stop it from still being a very good device, and still very usable in my view. Plus with the amount of ROMS to choose from on this forum there must be one to suit most people. You never know, we may get another cook some time.

Yes, the Android os is very interesting to look at. If someone created a 7 inch - 10 inch screen tablet with windows mobile 6.1, (or even wm5,6), I would seriously consider but of course the battery life must be good and the processor and ram should have enough power to improve internet experience.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] raongeek:
I've used all sorts of devices, from Psion to OQO, Everun, Zaurus, HTC BA etc etc. Recently I bought the Ameo and I can say that after some customisation this little device fits my bill perfectly.

The Ameo has been more flexible (keyboard/Tablet, case, landscape/portrait, 3G/WiFi) than the Archos 5IT it replaced. Sure, Android is nice and iOS is fluid and modern, but the Ameo kills them all with a

large 4/3 screen.

I'm using it right now with a Logitech wireless mouse, it's been on all day with a 30% battery drain, browsing with Opera Mobile 10 over 3G.

I wish manufactures would revisit the 4/3 aspect ratio, not everybody wants to watch widescreen films all day, and books look terrible in portrait on thin devices.

Many thanks to the members of these forums for all the tweaks and custom ROMs. this Ameo isn't dead yet.

Last week I bought one of the android tablet made in china. It is called APAD 7 inch styleflying.

The android os has somethings going but I have a number of complains. One of them is why did they do away with "scrollbars." While it is true that Many many people enjoy swiping the screen up and down and feel the screen moving at the command of the finger but it is also true that SCROLLBARS do make sense. Without scrollbars, i believe that many users have experience accidentally opening a program while they were trying to flip the screen up and down. android wants to do things differently I guess but in the process, they took away something very practical and useful. Just my personal opinion. If they want to do something that appears different, they can do what HTC hd2 did. When I look carefully, i realise that in fact, HTC hd2 has a kind of scroll bar on the main screen. It doesn't look like the traditional scrollbar but it does the same job. It allows the user to accurately move from page to page by pushing a slider. And who said programs in Android doesn't crash or hang or stop responding. In my experience, they do.

Anyway, it is a free operating system and it is open source so I hope it will improve in time to come.

Meanwhile, my Athena HTC x7500 rocks! If only I can wake up one morning and find my 5 inch screen Athena grow up and become 7 inch screen! Heh Heh!

5 inch is good size. But i would surely not mind having a 7 inch screen HTC x7500 in my collection.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] danih:
I am new to the Athena myself by just having bought one for about 200 USD - and it was a great find as it is in perfect shape, looks brand new, no scratches whatsoever!

I sold my Acer F900, as I am through with touchphones, I hate them - it's too bulky and smart for a phone, but too little to do productive work (for me that's office and remote computer administration, mainly). So I decided to scrap the smarthphone, and go back to the roots: buy a small and light cellphone with physical buttons and a PDA.

So I went for the x7500, and I love it! It's 3 years old, and still getting the job done!

My only complaint now is with WiFi: it seems to 'forget' the passwords for APs for some reason...

Btw I use an extra light Taxist WM6.1 ROM (42 Megs), as I have my own proven programs I am using for years, so everything except the OS is unnecessary junk.
