Tips/Updates (by ltxda):
- Save As enhancement. Go to Settings, System, select File Dialog Changer and check "Exchange Standard File Dialog". This changes out the standard Save As window and provides an enhancement where you can choose any folder/subfolder on your device and navigate the structure when trying to save files from any source.
- WkTask enable: it is disabled by default and must be enabled from the start menu and set to start on startup(if prefered). It will place the battery bar on top like in previous bars if the setting is selected. The version is not the latest because the latest causes issues.
- wkTask: Two nice features...of course they are in the manual...to get back to Today screen from any program....click-hold the area where the X typically is and drag left. This takes you right back to the Today screen. To minimize the current app, click-hold the X area and drag down. Very useful little program that has replaced Magic Button for me. Also allows per app control. Thanks Hirad for the recommendation! Also, This resides in the area where the X typically sits to close programs, etc. Start wkTask from Programs, click and hold the "X" area and go into preferences for wkTask. Make sure it's set to autostart by going to Startup tab and clicking the corresponding button. This is a great task manager.
- FingerTouch Keyboard: By default the option is not set to to layout 1. This can be changed via the options or via the bottom left corner button.
- Today Screen: All/default plugs have been deactivated except for htc home. Just go to Settings, Personal, Today and go to the Items tab to reactivate what you want.
- Reminders: I'm annoyed by the constant reminder notifications after the initial notice. To disable this annoyance go to Settings, Personal, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications tab, select Reminders from the drop down and uncheck "Repeat". Not sure if this bothers anyone else but it really annoyed me and I've seen a couple of posts asking how to disable this.
- Vijay555's VJCandela aka Flashlight: It's been reported on other threads that prolonged activation of the flash light LED may cause it to burn out so use at your own risk. I have used it without problems. Comes in very handy. Also great for blinding your enemies before an attack! ;-p
- HTC Home customizer: the version on the forums will mess up the htc home plugin because of the new larger vga images. the addon cabs have the older version that also worked in all dpis.
- TCPMP: starts in portrait and is used in portrait but after closing with X will make the phone go back to landscape.
- Config App: A new config app can now be found in settings under system. This app is made thanx to cmonex and will allow u to do many things. If u any have suggestions including what to add please pm me.
- Touchflo: Touchflo has the scroll sounds enabled by default. this can be disabled via the system tab in settings. settings for touchflo are also found in the new config app.
- VueFlo: the sensitivity for changing orientation can be adjusted in the system tab of settings. orientation changing can be turned on and off via the config app.
- SRS Wow HD: it can be found in the system tab in settings. use this to get surround sound and to improve sound. it is mostly used for the speakers or a headset.
- Large Start Menu: i have moved the settings for the large start menu from personal to system tab in settings. u can enable or disable the large start menu from in there.
- USB to PC: a new usb to pc tool is included. it allows mass storage now and is found under the connections tab in settings.
- Opera browser: easy configuration can be done by typing opera:config into the adress bar. it already has been modded though to allow up to 50 tabs and to have a ie7 user id. a cab in program files/system will make opera have a x7510 user id again.
- Customizations: only sdautorun.exe is ran and if finds the sdconfig.txt on ur sd will execute ur settings and reset. if not will end the customizations and allow you to use the phone. the phone might need to be turned back on.
- skype, weatherpanel, igo, video playback: turn off htc home and if needed install the one in the addons. it has been found htc home causes issues with these because of it being vga size and a resource hog.
- missing icons and same welcomehead in all dpis: these are caused by realvga. tobias needs to update his realvga to fix these issues cause by the new aku1.
- vga album: it can hang sometimes. this could be also associated with htc home. if it does hang just do a soft reset. this is do to the app being vga. newer versions in the future will fix the loading issues.
- enlarge menus: the setting to turn off the enlarged menus is found in the config app. there also is a advanced button to adjust how big u want the menus. if u really want a finger friendly menu, try 1600 but dont go above it.
- apptodate: this is a interesting app we included that will once ran check for new version of the rom and config app.
- wmp in 96dpi portrait: there is a issue with it starting. the work around is to run wmp in any other mode and go to the skin selection and select the proper skin in there then coming back to this mode.(tested by going to 192 dpi and selecting the 192 dpi skin)

long thirsty
thanks for coming

yes, it is great that AP4 is coming soon; but if you need to post about pressing F5 or thanking the team, why not post in one of the other threads discussing the same topic.
And when it is released, please try to refrain from posting things like Downloading now or thanks for the great Rom.
If you really want to thank Pawel, ltxda, Boinger66, Olipro and Cmonex, why not click on one of their signatures and donate to the project or them individually.
If you must post about "great rom thanks", "downloading now"
"getting another beer","American Beer is mostly water", Euro Beer tastes like the crap at the bottom of the keg",etc; please post those in the other bull **** threads..
AND if you like the Rom DONATE a few bucks to the AP Team!
Ok, Chris...you can delete this and the other crap posts in this thread!

Thanks for all the hard work AP Team. Hitting F5 and charging my X7501.

waiting as well

bugs
hey guys does anyone know if the bugs for th 66% battery been fixed? what about the other bugs that the bets testers submitted? whats still buggy in the ap4 so far?
cant wait to flash it soon.. major reason for ap4 is the battery percentage driver and the orientation that switches automatically..
