Hi Crazy Cat,
Thanks for the tutorial.
One question though. I don't have WinXp, only Vista (x64 Ultimate).
I sucessfully flashed the AP3 with it to my Ameo.
Can you specify, what problem could appear?
Thank you very much.
Greetz,
DeathAngel

I only heared, that there are problems. Maybe there won´t be any problems with final release.

Some suggestions, based on english google translation:
1)
This is a guide for using the AP4 updates, which the AP team has written
I will suggest to add the name of the device (athena, and vendor's name X7500 ,....) the meaning of AP team (Athena Project team) and a web link (forum.xda-dev......)
Also in important IMHO tho explain that the ROM language is WW ENGLISH only, having LOCAL configuration for currency, date, time, numbers, operator
__________________________________________________________
2)
Also:
1. It is very important that you observe these rules:
- Only with Windows XP update, since problems could occur Vista
- The cable DURING the process never separate, no matter what.
- This guide is only a portion read further ahead, so that no surprises.
- The battery has about 50% have electricity
I will call this step CHECK LIST before starting, adding
- Remove the Storage Card , if any
- The device should be connected to a USB PC port, avoiding HUB
- Disable power saver and or screen saver, if any
- Don't touch the cable or the device during the update process (only to confirm if asked)
- Close all opened application on the PC, don't run anything during the update process including MSN Messenger, ICQ, Skype and similar (I've seen below but is better to UNIFY the ckecklist I believe)
I suggest to split the check list between DEVICE and PC . Point 1 could be
Check List
DEVICE
-
-
PC
-
-
_____________________________________________
3)
3rd By updating all available data from X7500/X7501 deleted. Create a backup of the data. Uses example Spb Backup. Microdrive data are not deleted!
I don't believe that SPB backup could restore the applications on a fully new ROM, and if he does the device will never work as supposed. PIM backup is for PIM data,freeware and may be this will work. Microdrive AND STORAGE CARD are safe
____________________________________________________
4)
4th ....not even the writer(s) of this manual....
_______________________________________________
5)
5th It is not a must, but very welcome, an AP to make a donation.
Is important to "enforce" the message explaining that this is a way to say Thank you to the team, this will help to improve this ROM and this will help to have always new releases!
My Italian version below....

Usually HOW to is written and discussed BEFORE releasing the update. Then how to will be released in a final, multilanguage version, with the ROM .
This is a developer's forum, a place were the stuff is discussed BEFORE the release

Beautiful presentation! My suggestions are
1) I agree to have a beer at the end, but I will suggest AFTER a DONATE Link! Also the AP team loves the beer!
2) Flash video couldn't be printed and should be better to have AP Upgrade printed out instead of having a Flash presentation running during the update process!
3) RUU Screens translation is needed for "bad english speakers"

Thanks for reviewing it! I will try to make those changes today.
The print version is contained in lucky post #13. Same content as the flash version, just in *.doc format.
Unfortunately, the only language I know is english. Glad to work with someone on other versions though...

Installing the AP 4.0 ROM v1a - Croatian translation
Hello to all,
Here is Installing the AP 4.0 ROM v1a - Croatian translation based on BAIRDA's english original. Unfortunately I do not speak German language and I was not able to use a certainly good German original written by crazy_cat.
I hope it will help Croats (if any here) to install AP 4 ROM in the future.
Regards,
MDA3_CRO
