[Beta] [Athena Project] On the fly Pagepool Changing! - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Ever wanted to see how your device will perform with a different sized pagepool but not wanted to have to reflash your device? here is the solution!
At the moment it is fully functional, save for the offset detecting algorithm which at the moment is not included. Therefore this BETA requires that you know the correct offset for you're current ROM.
An incorrect offset could lead to a re-flash being required!
Example offsets:
DOPOD 17944 WWE Build & HTC 17745 WWE Build (including all derivatives, eg PK 1/2): "0x5DAD42"
Darkforce Build 18533 (including all derivatives, eg PK 3): "5DA3BA" - Thanks PK
If you want an offset here send me a link to the ROM and i'll find it
This is UNTESTED ON ATHENA, however I dont think it could break a device and it works perfectly on my Universal .
Peaceout!
Fixed version now runs on 95/98/ME/Vista aswel as 2000/XP

does increasing the size take up rom space for ram space. thanks

Stupid Question

thanks, i am doing it now so i will let you know how i come out.

Not having a lot of luck - Installed the rapi cab then ran the exe on my PC got a dos box and lots of unrecognised command errors. Tried running the exe on my Ameo and it does nothing.
Running Vista Business if that makes a diff?
What am I doing wrong?

a combination of mine an vista's fault, i assumed t was ok to hardcode in 2000/XP paths because i assumed no-one would be usin 95/98 anymore, but i forgot about Vista!
i'll upload a new version now

well im not sure what to say i changed it to 8 then to 12 then to 16 everything seemed stable but the amount of free space on my rom did not change at all. so im not sure if it worked but at least i did not brick my device

The RAM is what changes, not the ROM

Thanks for that - just changed mine to 16Mb
lets see if it makes any difference!
Thanks for the quick fix.

well in that case it work perfectly

i increased it to 16mb i did not feel any noticeable difference that i changed it to 0 part of my today screen, where my short cuts are, is black but if i click in the black area my programs still come up. other than that i dont really feel that its any slower. but it could just be me. in anycase thanks midget for posting this.

midget, you're my king.

So, does it speed up your device or no? What setting do you use if yes?
If you get more RAM, does problem of choosing SIP keyboard ( which is a problem that occurs randomly when many SIPs are installed) go away?

I moved to 16 mb and see more fast device when you start applications or menus first time. Before it was really slow.
sorry, what's SIP keyboard?

Just the starting? No speed difference once started?
SIP refers to software keyboard such as Tengo, happy tapping, finger touch, ce star, and penpower.
I use primarily Tengo. Occasionally I like to switch to happy tapping and penpower. I have problem choosing happy tapping as only the standard keyboard get selected. Even if I manage to set happy tapping,once I switch to other keyboard I can't get back to happy tapping again. (no issue with Tengo or penpower).. I was hoping with more RAM this problem will disappear.

athena's do not suffer from lack of ram (they have plenty) infact this is mainly to be used in quite the opposite way, sacrificing some of this RAM to speed up the device (caching).

16mb seems pretty snappy , an chance we can try 32 or

no point, aboove 16mb the performace difference (note i didnt say increase) is negligable, and doesnt justify the RAM it uses.
also dont be affraid to try 0mb, thats my personal favourite/recommendation

I think the athena boards are quite tame, compared to the Hermes and Kaiser forums...In those forums you will be called 4 letter words for not searching or posting a new thread instead of posting in the proper thread...
Of course, in those forums new roms come out every day, so there is a lot more activity.

Has the downgrade tool been confirmed in the works? I am waiting on it or the next version after 4.0 I am not happy with AP 4.0 at all right now to many issues with applications etc
not really confirmed, just few words from the dev team, no ETA ... would be a disaster if this tool is not released...

Yes, I am also having some issue with AP4, but I have changed several items and it now at least usable.
1) I removed all keyboards/sips except the default and I added resco keyboard. I believe some of the newer sips like the manilla keyboards were causing me memory issues.
2) I shutoff touchflo
3) I shutoff Vueflow
4) I changed several registry keys to performance setting via sktools.
5) I installed the Opera 8.65 cab and removed the opera 9.x
6) Removed Manilla Dialer
Also, changed a few registry items found in the forums wiki's for universal and kasier.
Most changes above were performed using SKtools, Schaps Advanced config app and PHM Registry editor. I still have issue with the photo album, but i do not use it much.
So for me, it now is a usable device again and better than ap3. DO i wish i could downgrade the SPL and try one of the other wm6.1 rom...Yes

Sorry, I did not make a list of the reg changes, but most can be accomplished with sktools and/or readng the universal wiki registry edits
As for mail address prediction? Do you mean suggest words etc
did you go into settings, select personal tab, select the input icon, select the word completion TAB,
check suggest words when entering text
Change Suggest After entering to "1 letter" (i think the default is space which does not suggest words until a space is entered, totally useless)
set the other check boxes to your preference!
Remember word completion will store what you type most often, thus the email addresses, words etc

My problem is in "suggest words". There are options for 1, 2, 3 or 4 words suggested, but is impossible to mark a number. I think again the registry is not very fine. The curious comment is that teksoft keyboard does suggest words, that means AP team deploy this part of the rom only fine with software keyboards but not the phisical one.
This is the worse upgrade I ever made of a device. And no way to solve. I feel stupid after several years testing rom upgrades.
AP 4 is totally unusable for business. Maybe nice youtube video capacity, or maybe music, but no way to have it working.
I am starting to use again a blackberry device I have: totally usable for word prediction, gps really superfast.

AP 5.0 Beta

READ everything before downloading please!
This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom
its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:
most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.
new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.
pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.
album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*
no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.
other things i dont remember
THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA
please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.
one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.
now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY
*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
Pawel
Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.
Thanks!

dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that
p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.

ssd upgrade?
will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?
EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh
Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?
Flashing With Microsd.....
hey all,
just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...
Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know)
hi
no comments, no screenshot from the 1st users ?
is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!
Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!
I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...
Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...
Will report more later...
Cheers

Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.
-------
In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras.
seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..
Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.
new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.
Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.
new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.
Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.
Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.
Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!
Overall vast improvement.
FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.
update, as typing had problem #1.
screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.
Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.
Testing AP5 BETA
I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.
Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.
Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.
Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working
I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.
Other softwares I tried and are working fine are
SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks again for the ROM.
Thanks once again for your work.
New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.
New icon of 3g and bar of signal
It does not turn the single screen?
Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)
New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….
Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????
Bye!!!!

Ultra Lite ROM

http://rapidshare.de/files/39476074/ATHE_WWE_4.AL.TX_WM6.1_b19209.1.0.2.rar.html
For SPL 3.5 only.
Thanks for Olipro
Information:
bla-bla-bla.
How about some descriptions and screens for this ROM?
Does it have HTC touchflo? How does its contact application look like? etc.
SPL 3.5 means... WHAT base ROM? AP4, AP3, AP5, IRUS?
WM6 or WM6.1?
Other info?
EDITED
The ROM's name explain something: IRUS rom (settings, about)claims to be the WM6.1 19521.1.1.0 build; from the file name this ROM seems to be the WM6.1 19209.1.0.2 (older build ...). Otherwise sometime rom cookers edit the build numbers ....
Base: wwe ROM from HTC X7510
NK.exe : from ap4
wm6.1 19209 b19209.1.0.2
19521 - fake ROM
I'm going to try this out today, thanks .
Hmm, there is some customization that's missing here, maybe to make it "Ultra Lite". Gotta tweak it to see if I like it or not.
*Update*
Ok, a LOT of this ROM is in Russian, I really don't like the included apps, there are some pirated application on there, HTC X-Button doesn't work at all, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5, you can't customize the menu AT ALL, the scroll bars are thin making it VERY hard to use your finger, it starts using OzVGA, not even RealVGA, HSDPA is disabled by default...The only thing I like about this ROM so far, is that my MobileTalk application actually works, and that I can run Garmin again due to the larger RAM size. I will wait for AP5 vanilla before I flash again, or I'll try AP4, as at least that works with my MobileTalk program.
*Update 2*
Wow, here's a MAJOR problem with this ROM, apparently he didn't add the ability to uninstall programs. Sorry buddy, but because of this, this ROM is gone.
darkjedi,
Sorry, however not all your conclusions about this ROM are correct.
1. There are NO programs in Russian. All are in English.
2. Yes, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5. But nobody said that it must be here
3. The menu used is QuickMenu. It is fully customizable and it has HTC X-Button functionality inside. You even do not need HTC X-Button installed. To customize menu just click Start->QuickMenu->Options
4. It is easy to make the scroll bars as thick as you like - just run
OzVGA and customize
5. Yes it has SOME problems with uninstall, but it is not so critical
And what about speed of this ROM? It is very, very quick and responsive.
Actually it is Ultra Lite, but high-speed system.

Sorry but no, I do not want some "QuickMenu" program that looks ugly and is obtrusive. HTC X-Button is small and does it's job, and allows me to just hit the X and the program closes. And btw, the OS STARTS in Russian btw, and CorePlayer is all in Russian. So I have to go into ANOTHER program just to edit the menu? Ugh. That's incredibly stupid. OzVGA is annoying and very buggy. And WHERE is the add/remove programs? Let me guess, ANOTHER program? Nice attempt, but with all this crap? Sorry but AP4.0, bugs and all, is much better.
Does not sound like an ultra lite to me if it contains so many unwanted third party bloatware.
I'm still waiting for a true vanilla, not pseudo vanilla. On Spl 1.2 please. There's no need to lose any memory to useless programs.

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.
3) Quick Menu is really not that bad. It is installed in many of the roms in other forums - Kasier especially.
4) Haven't used OzVga since my universal - It have some issues awhile back, but it was basically like realvga used in other AP rom..Not sure if it works well, but hey why not try it while I wait for another AP rom
5) This seems like a real issue, that would suck, but again I just feel like flashing something, while I wait for another rom to try....

The MAIN issue here is, there isn't any Add/Remove Programs anywhere, you can't uninstall ANYTHING! Unless of course that's hidden in another program -_-

Another small issue is that the storage card has been renamed SDMMC so all my shortcut to apps on the sdcard had to be renamed...

Best ROM
This ROM works practically without problems. And very fast.
On speed and reliability it the best of all for Athena.
And Russian? It I would learn only that it talked Lenin. (V.V.Mayakovsky)

Does it have HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications ? Is the speed as fast as the WM6.0 stock ROM?
Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?

Comparison of Athena Roms: Experiences

There are so many Athena roms that it can be a little daunting trying to figure out which ones to try. Although the surest way to know the rom that is best for you is to try it out, it would be helpful to the community to get some feedback on how the different roms compare from those that have tried them out.
I myself have stuck with Irus' Ultra Vanilla because of its great speed and stability but am curious if there are other roms that equal its speed and stability.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences.
Thanks,
A.
I am using sogarth base rom now, with some tweaks.
Net CF3.5 installed (modaco cab suite), Diamond tweaks for speed, disabled HTCSENSOR (ATHENA) and GSEN installed, moblue and jetware extension to solve ANY BT problem. Wtask to improve the task control, much better than HTC Xbutton
I am using it in 192 DPI, easy to use with fingers (first time in my Athena owner life I've lost my stylus, because I used somewhere, not needed for 2 days and discovered it missed too late )
Opera, IE and the VGA applications are working fine Tom Tom is fast, NO HANGUPS at all!
The fastest GPS Fix ever seen in my ATHENA. Radio 1.58 , I have to test if it works but this ROM support HSDPA AND HSUPA
I tested all the ROMs here, excepted latest Michyprima and Irus/Sogarth Vanilla.
TO me the answer is simple: I can't live without rotations sensor, FAST now, faster than Diamond and rotate only when and what needed. Face down screen off means longer battery life.
The choice is Sogarth base or Sogarth/Irus Vanilla? I am happy now with base..

I second this....but I"m using Radio 1.57 though, I like the fact that it changes from 3G to H when needed.

you'll need a registry editor...
and do the this: This is where I went and changed from "1" to "0": HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor\DeviceAvailabi lity=0
softreset your phone then install GSen, run it and you're all good to go.
to get the screen off when you turn down your phone: in GSen CFG at the bottom line "#fdscreenoff(0)", change the "0" to "1" save it and turn your phone down and see if the screen turns off.

That is such a true statement, I reverted back to the Sogarth base too because I like the rotate and some of the other programs that were removed in the vanilla. I also installed the .net 3.5 and just like Lennie I am also using radio 1.57
The only ROM that I have not tried is the AP4, AP5, and the MiChY 1.60 ROM.
I loved the Sogarth/irus base ROM, but the vanilla is even better. Everything removed can be put back to get back the base ROM but why take in stuffs that you'll never ever use? The less bloated it is, the faster the ROM will run. Takes less time to backup and restore are among the other benefits. I'm now trying out the 0 page pool version. I love it just as much.
This is also the only ROM that let's me put in my own splash screen for the soft reset. Irus has removed the animate.gif file and the associated sound. So if I like it the way it is in the base ROM, I simply copy them back from the extra folder. If I want to change it, simply design my own and give them the same file names and copy to the windows directory.
This is letting me to be the cook without having to learn how to cook!

question about net cf 3.5. Did you successfully install it with Sogarth vanilla rom? I am getting error message of not enough storage room. When reading at Modaco site, error seems to occur when an active process blocks the installation. I am not seeing anything in Sogarth vanilla rom that is creating a blockage. Any advice? Thanks!
I just saw that net cf 3.5 is in vanilla rom. Never mind...
Eaglesteve,
I just tried the Sogarth/Irus vanilla but found that it was sluggish when compared to Irus' Ultra Vanilla and so I have now returned to that one. Is there any other reason besides the speed that I should consider giving Sogarth/Irus vanilla another run (I am not particularly interested in the auto screen rotate)?
Thanks,

I'm surprised with your finding regarding speed because I had the opposite experience. I had found the irus ultra vanilla sluggish, that's why I did'nt use it.
Besides speed, the Sogarth Vanilla is of newer built. It's not just having auto totate. Many programs look and work in improved manner. Example is the contact application. The vanilla also is the least bloated, as irus has removed almost every non core applications, but let you put them back should you choose to do so. That's why its faster I guess. Backup and restore for example is faster. Lastly, it is also more stable, with almost no bugs.
apap, I would recommend trying irus's 0MB page pool version. To me it seems quite a bit speedier than the sogarth/irus rom, right there on par with the ultra vanilla IMO.
I am currently using the sograth/irus base 6.1 rom with radio 1.58.00 and I am very happy with the performance/stability. (No tweaks currently).
Cheers
BR

ROM and keyboard

Hey,
I am a newbie. So I have a little bit of problems on my AT&T Fuze. My uncle is a tester and I got it before it was released in the market. Now, I updated it to the ROMeOS2 v1.40 and the keyboard is messed up. It changed to the original HTC TOUCH PRO and the ATT Fuze keyboard is different. Can you help me out please.
One more question, which ROM is the best for my AT&T Fuze.
Thx,
Prateek

Unfortunately I don't know exactly but you probably need to exchange the keymap dll files with the files that come with the Fuze.

As far as I know there are no cooked ROMs for AT&T Fuze yet. But they can probably be expected soon.

Na, theres a reg setting which determines the layout. Goto HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
Change CWSLayout to 0 for Touch pro, or 1 for Fuzes.
Create the key if it is not there.

Done.
yeah thx i got it it works perfectly now with the ROM and stuff but it still has a low memory cause its a testing phone. It has only 77 MB and others have 201 or something!

How did u get the 77MB reading?
In memory applet, it will show like this for Program on right side:
Total:?
In Use:?
Free:?
In about applet it will show total memory available. or maybe u could post a screenshot

Well here it is and it is probably because it is a testing phone and i know there is no way to increase but i hope there was because i have to soft reset a lot to get the apps running.
But in the Device Information part it says, 160 MB RAM size
OMG, just to confirm, did u use ROMeOS² ENGLISH version?
For all HTC Raphael base device,
-U will get total Memory of 213.28MB (in about applet)
-In memory applet, Storage total is 362.02MB & Program total 213.03MB.
But I really dont know FUZE total RAM. I need a little search but mods should move this thread since it is related to my custom ROM & no need seperate thread IMHO
so..just wondering, did you manage to get Fuze's keyboard to work with Romeo perfectly? What about the extra keys and missing keys on Fuze? (i.e. OK button and missing Ctrl button - does the OK button still work like it did on AT&T stock rom?)

Yeah, the whole keyboard works perfectly as the original keybaord from AT&T Fuze.
And ya, I used the ROMeOS2 ENGLISH Version and no, it did not change the memory applet or the about applet. I have done like 10 hard resets changing ROM's and it still shows the same thing. It is probably because I got it as a testing device, not the real one. It even says "Smart Mobility, Test Only, Not for Sale" when it turns on. I want to increase the memory. is there any way possible except from the fact that I should buy a new one.

Then u should upgrade the ram chip by urself or buy the released device. maybe the test device only hv small amount of ram

I'd probably ebay it for a lower price specifying that it's a test unit. At least it'll salvage $100+ towards Fuze.
I found this fix for FUZE remap in the wiki section. Does anyone know what the difference is between the reg edit and this .cab is? Was reg edit only available for romeos2 cuz it's already built in the rom? Or should I use the .cab file after flashing?
Sorry for asking the same question so many times. I'm very new at this and want to make sure I know what i'm doing before I actually do it. Thanks in advance for clarification.

I tried both and neither one worked for me. I'm at a loss here.
NVM - stupid noob mistake - I forgot to soft reset.
All is well now and working.
