Hello!
I've just bought my first pda (so I am new on that), a secondhand 02 Atom life in ebay, and I want to upgrade the rom.
Can someone tell me if there is any diference between these two officials roms: http://www.mwg.com/atom-life_wm6.aspx and http://www.myxda.com/xda-atom-life_wm6.aspx. Apparently, they seem the same...
If there are any differences, could you tell me the pros and cons? Are there any utilities/applications differences? Stability? Batteries issues?
Furthermore I want a fingertouchfriendly interface (don't like stylus). I am thinking about manila 2D, spb shell 2, wisdbar advance 3 or iphonzlike themes. I don't care too much about beautiful design or cool animations, more about something usefull and thrifty from the battery, ram, ressources consumption or compatibility point of vue.
What would you recommend me?
Actually are wisdwar advance or themes like iphonz slowing down pda performance or consuming extra ram?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
I would recommend you use the following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448074
and install M2D from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885
(Don't bother with the additional files, they don't work on Atom Life)
The ROM is fast and reliable and is the setup I have passed on to my daughter now she is using my Atom Life. It has finger friendly touchflo (you need to enable it in Settings) and is very finger and user friendly.
Skins for M2D can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451702
( I always preferred the MBarvian Diamond Skin from the top row of post 6. Perhaps that's why I have a Diamond now.
The MWG and O2 ROMS are stable but they're also full of rubbish that no one ever uses and hog memory.
I would also recommend the EZinput Keyboard suite from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281&highlight=ezinput
Don't forget that with this you need to install not only the keyboard suite but the right language pack for you. These are found in post 4
I hope this helps
Thanks Blibble!!! I'm going to try your setup. It looks just fine for me!
Hello!
I got the set up you propose and I experienced that battery runs faster than in o2 wm 6 rom, do you experience same thing? Could it be because of the rom or m2d? Are skins making slower performance or consuming battery? In that case I will stay with m2d with no skin... That's fine for me.
Furthermore, I can't watch youtube videos (I downloaded alldevices 19b M2D), do I need an especial application to watch flash multimedia?
Can actually someone recommend a free multimedia player to watch avi, flash and others formats?
I would apreciate a taskmanager to really close programs and not let them in Ram and making me go to standard taskmanager every 5 minutes to close them. Can someone recommend a good one? I thought M2D had one....
I don't find the settings window usefull, is there anyway to configure it and add/remove my preferred settings tools instead of the useless ones that appear?
Finally, is Sktools an usefull tool?
THANKS TO ALL IN ADVANCE!!!!
I have open ears for evey recommendation to optimize my device!!!
I forgort it... This rom has deleted outlook mobile and java support? I don't find them...
Hello all!
I try this rom with SPB Shell and Pocket Plus (wonderful taskmanager, file exploring and internet browser options) with animation disabled and it runs much better and I find it more functional, useful and customizable and no bugs, no issues... I didn't have time to compare battery life yet... But with manila it was 21-22 free ram and with SPB it is 23-24 free ram... I am also going to try sktools and sk shorcut manager for full performance and customization.
For multimedia player I am trying dvix player, core player and TCPMP...
I still don't know if I can run jad or jar aplications... I try a few and I think I can't...
Hope this information will be useful! For now I am very happy with this device and I order a 3200 mAh ultra capacity battery from worcell with sony japanese cells and just 4 mm thicker.

I'm a little frustrated in trying to get the newest version of Spb Shell working smoothly. I have found the best ROM's are ones that are light with very little programs installed. But even with a lean fast ROM spb shell seems to run slow... meaning the animations and reaction speed when pressing buttons are delayed. I loaded spb on my 8525 and it woks beautifully ..I know its a QVGA screen but still i would think i could get similar results with a VGA screen along with a much faster processor. Just to try another experiment I loaded spb on my old HP 4700 and WOW it works so fast its scary! Anyone know why this is? How is it a 5 year old device performs so much faster that my new one? is it because of the missing graphics drivers in the Athena?
anyone have any good tweaks to make his shell work better?
maybe we should make a thread about tweaks for Spb Shell (did not see one specifically for this) if there enough interest?
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
It's enough to search in forums, my friend.
Pay attantion that VGA theme will take much more memory then QVGA.
Regarding the ROM :
1. amount of memory depends on SPL
2. preferable lite ROM + uncheck today items
Cheers.
P.S. search before you ask questions.
Thanks for the rply..but no help
I have searched the forums within the Athena section. The tweaks I'm looking for would be specifically for the Athena...maybe I'm missing something in the link you provided....
I have been reading everything i can find on here but nothing found has helped much.
I have found that keeping it running in portrait works smoother than in landscape.
Any other user experiences or ideas?
And I have a question :
Is SPB mobile shell working correctly with Real VGA ? 128
It didn't run anyway !
Is there a trick to solve this problem ?
Many thankx for your answsers...
I'm using irus' latest 0 mb pagepool rom. Spb mobile shell runs without lags. I'm using it in 192dpi as I'm really accustomed to using finger without stylus now. I prefer spb mobile shell with its original color and theme, so I had stopped using the diamond skin. If you like black and diamond skin, there is one which works for realVGA under a thread started by Sergiopi. The title is something like 'diamond interface for athena'. It's one of the stickies.
Hello eaglesteve
would like to have SPB Mobile Shell working in 128dpi mode with standard skin.
my version 2.1.2 comes up at the today screen with crappy icons and the SPB Menu does not start by pressing the button.
Any idea how to get taht work?
Regards
Highc

If you use 128dpi, you must install the diamond skin. I have a link in the sticky post started by Sergiopi. The name of the post isvsomething like Diamond interface for Athena. Try looking for it first. I'll give u the link if you still can't find it yourself.

How difficult is it to cook in manila 2-d, has anyone done it on the ppc6800 sprint titan. Is it possible to get a copy of it.

There are some issues with the new BuildOS. Let them sort that out first. You should be able to build it in. I am running NueROM3 Pre3 kitchen with M2D. Swapped it back to my normal NueROM3 Pre3 because quite frankly I think M2D blows. But thats my opinion.
EDIT: After using M2D I actually love it!
Also, what build of CE OS are you trying to use in the kitchen?
Also, if you absolutely cant get it I can whip something up for you. Tell me what else you may want in it?
i'd like to check that rom out myself scrosler...not wanting much in it, rather clean. with the...

that's pretty much about it.
Clean is good, most folks have all the cabs to dirty it up themselves.
thanks in advance.

Ive got a ROM I am about to post for this thread. Its for Sprint right now. Because I am doing this with the PPC kitchen what carrier do you want me to use?
UPDATED: 1 Nov 2008
**NOTE 2 Nov 2008, 2:30AM Central Time**
There is a new thread devoted to my latest release, Round 4. Please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441716.,
Thank you all for your support and feedback. I am no longer supporting the first three rounds but they will eventually get a link on my new download links in the post noted above. For now I have removed the links from the site and this post.

Ok,
Let me make one thing clear: None of this is my work! This is compilation of great works from all over the internet. If you see a screnshot that is your product please let me know so I can give appropriate credit.
Shout Outs go to:

DCD, GC, and No2Chem - I learned quite a bit just by reading there posts and disecting the DCD kitchen and of course SEARCHING ;c)
But no less important
DogGuy, and Dutty (NBH Tools), All the artists that made these bad ass themes and pics that I bootlegged from all over the Internet and everyone else who made this stuff possible! Especially the guy that Made M2DC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392)
Ok, I have posted ROM's for all. Please download and enjoy.
I also made these ROMS using the PPC Kitchen. Please visit there site and try there kitchen then donate if you got the spare cash. Its great! http://ppckitchen.org/
Thanks for taking the time to download my work and try it out. I value all feeback but would prefer not to get my ass handed to me. Please be thoughtful ;c) It takes guts to post this sort of file to the web. I understand how important these devices are to people so I want everyone to know that I have tested the core of this ROM for over a week with no major issues. I also reboot daily (by choice)! But as always;
*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG!*
*You also need to be on Bootloader 2.40 or 2.47 with a GPS radio of 3.3x.x and higher*
If you dont have that then please read the stickes at the top of the forum main page and go tot he Titan Wiki page to learn how to get there. I cannot help you with that part, just my ROM and its functionality. Here is a great tutorial from GAMedic at PPC Geeks that will walk through the steps of setting your phone up for a custom ROM.

Just remember M2D is a memory hog but looks sooooo good!
Thanks again! Enjoy!
Round 1 - OUTDATED but still a popular choice!
Links removed
Round 2 - TOO BUGGY I HAVE BEEN TOLD but runs fine on my phoen- NOT RECOMENDED for anything other than testing purposes- Apps shut down alot when not being used because of REg tweaks I got from No2Chem's OEMS. I like this feature, alot of people dont! This ROM has the typical issue of TouchFlow shutting down when the device is under high memory usage as reported by some users.
Links Removed
Different Skin this time (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2709784&postcount=1535), minor bug fixes. Camera version 5. Latest 20755 CE OS. Newer build of Opera 9.
Round 3 -First Round based off DCD 3.2.6
Links Removed
This ROM was rebuilt from the ground up and based off the DCD 3.2.6 Kitchen. Its missing Opera, Audio manager, the Diamond dialer and the Diamond comm manager (Most people are happy about this) and has no custom boot screens as I did not want to start tearing apart the kitchen. It seems to be the most stable so far! More free ram at boot as well. Download, enjoy and provide feedback!
It was found that YouTube is not working proper on this ROM. No other bug reports thus far.
Round 4 - Coming Soon! Alpha testing is underway. This will be a "barebones" M2D ROM that is ready to run on first boot. It will include the CAB files that are needed to custoimize it to the way you want. I have added extra themes for M2D, the latest customizer, and all the M2D apps that people have asked for.
And I was just asked to post this by a user. If you like the ROM you are using and have a some spare change then by all means..... Otherwise donations are not mandatory to download, use, and get support of my ROM!

35 Gigs worth of downloads and counting!!!!! At 57 megs average file size that is about 600 downloads in 10 days or 60 per day or 2.5 downloads every hour since I first posted the ROMS. Thanks everyone for trying it out!
Any chance you can release this as a rom? It looks pretty sweet.

what's up wit the rom man. it was me that specifically asked for the rom...not grimstar, not understanding why he's the one doing the testing and wasn't the one to 'specifically' ask.

I have to say, I am very impressed with this rom. It's much smoother on my titan than dcd 3.2.6. On my device, I have about 17 mb free, but I feel like it's twice as fast as before. Great job!

This is a copy and paste from my blog on thoughts on this rom and 6.5.
http://www.blakemitchellweb.com/blog/?p=31
I use an HTC Touch Pro and recently installed a custom rom running Windows Mobile 6.5. This particular rom was made by Jakdillard and posted at XDA devs. I am not sure about too much of the information as to what parts are used from 6.5 and 6.1. First off I will say that I installed and let customization run first. This had TF3D install and I wanted to get more of a feel for sliding panels. When I disabled TF3D and reenabled Titanium (Thiis the name for sliding panels) it never launched. I thought that there may have been a problem so I did a clear storage. Installation went on again and I did a soft reset during customization. Upon doing this it started back like I had done a clear storage again. This time I let customization run again, did the disable of TF3D and reenabling of Titanium and once again nothing happened but after doing a soft reset titanium was up.
So the performance is pretty wretched. It lags a lot but it is usable. I was able to perform a phone call, get on the internet using the new version of IE, set up google sync in activesync and synced my calendar and contacts, installed and set up funambol for push email, installed amaze gps and was able to get a lock, use wifi, and browsed through pretty much everything. I installed Diamond Tweak and enable some of the tweaks that improve performance but did not see any improvement. When I had IE open my memory was at 85% and it dropped to 37% when I closed it so it is a bit of a memory hog.The new menus are pretty nice and do improve the finger friendliness of the ROM.I like the transparent softkeys and start bar visually, and I like the new honeycomb start menu, although I think it could have been more visually stimulating. Also, We are able to edit the icons that we use on the start bar like we could before and it does not do anything to mess up the new transparent start bar. I installed this cab by tsowen from ppcgeeks and it looks good.
Sliding panels seems pretty nice but there is also a but of a let down. Many people will prefer TF3D or one of the other plethora of shells that can be used on the today screen. Like many of the others shells and today plugins you can't use any other today plugins with this one. I like the look of the sliding panels but the let down comes from the lack of customization straight out of the box. If I could change it I would have sliding panels have each individual setting able to be disabled (i.e. I do not use text messaging because I use email. I would do away with the SMS panel.) Also it is missing some features that are getting integrated into other options. If sliding panels had the ability for developers to develop plugins to cover some of the other areas it would be phenomenal. It is missing some things like weather, rss, im, facebook, and stocks.
I am going to keep running this ROM for another day at least to get a little more familiar. Hopefully I will get a chance to make some screenshots, install second today and see how they play together.

next time when you switch from tf3d to titanium soft reset
That is what I did the last time I changed over. By the way, I have not said thanks so thanks.

no Problem you can find more updates for this over and www.ppcgeeks.com that is where I generally post
Yeah, I post there more often than here, but had not noticed that it was there until seeing it here and going there to look for it. I thought it was strange that it was here and not there and once I got there I realized you had it in that thread but it did not say 6.5 in the first post (or I overlooked it.) Anyway, I will keep a close eye on that thread.
This a good rom pretty pretty sexy lol ummm i understand its extreme beta an its good i hope yall guys keep doing it up an making it right...yall guys should work for microsoft an htc lol
I have been using Da_g's 6.5 beta 8 for almost a week now and LOVE it. I made the modification to the cpr files to make Titanium a little smoother and more responsive. But the only issues I am left with is when switching from portrait to landscape my phone messes up the image on my homescreen. It clips it and warps it a little. I can fix it by disabling and re enabling titanium or a soft reset.
It always comes back though - does this rom do that?
Also when using RSS hub sometimes the device hangs for up to a minute. On this 6.5. I did not have this on NATF's 4.3 before.
Any help would be appreciated!

Very Happy with it.
Except for memory and slight performance tweaking this build has been working great for me on my sprint touch pro.
Thanks to jakdillard and others who developed this.
Some screen grabs would rock my world. TIA
hot my blog on the first page there are several although with my own background image and different icons.
updated .......

Perfomance is good, Touchflo is slow but that's a normality with .5 till a new version comes out.. other than that this is a nice ROM compared to others
stuck on align screen config page
after install kitchen rom, i am stuck on the align screen page. i tap on the + but it does not register. random circular motions cause it to advance to next location of + but it just repeats.
suggestions?
EDIT-
problem on my device is not limited to this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490567
edit-
a couple of hard resets later and it seems to be working. weird quirk?
In any case, great rom.
Universal CDMA, Sprint, or Verizon?
I haven't seen anything posted saying this is carrier specific. Or what radio is compatible with it.
Can someone elaborate on that?
I just developed this little Profile Switcher App in Manila Style.
First of all, big thanks to Michiprima who developed the great Manila SDK (I hope he will continue ;-) ).
Please post Tipps and Wishes.
Please donate over Paypal to st.staudacher[at]gmx.de if you like.
It runs on WM05 + and needs .net CF 3.5
Change Log:
Version 1.2:
- Manila OnOff Switches
- Comm Manager for Bluetooth, Wifi and Phone
Version 1.3:
- New Programm Icon
- New Symbols for each Controller
-reserved-
Update to Version 1.2
Dont want to be rude, but HTC CommManager do the same and even more...
Some tips
No QVGA support? It is working fine on my QVGA device only icons is big
When i launch, for example, Bluetooth program exit. For launching second function i need to reopen program.
BTW thanks for program.
No problem, there's nothing bad in critism if its objective.
Your right the CommManager has nothing more to ofer then HTC's, but the profile manager is a missing piece.
I combined both.
The exit after any change is wanted.
I didnt have the time for qvga version, but for a donate I make one for you.
Nice work. However, what do you think about adding more profiles, to be more specific - could you remove comm mgr options (wi-fi, bt, flight mode) and focus on more profiles with different options? For example, besides normal, vibrate and silent, could you add 3-4 custom profiles which can be edited?
Sadly, at the moment I dont have the time to do that.
It would be much more difficult because the three are the profiles windows mobile supports stocked others are created with tricks.
I like it the way it is, but it is a bit slow to launch for a quick switch, it would be great if you could work on improving the speed.
Very good idea, that´s what i was searching for!
1.) Can you add some language files? I could make the german one, just tell me how to do that EDIT: Okay, not seen that you´re from Germany too..forget my senseless "try to help"
2.) It´s really a bit too slow to compete with other commercial alternative (G-Profile e.g.)...is there any possibility to solve this issue?
I'm happy to here some positive feedback.
Yes I'm german that shouldn't be the problem ;-)
And I know even if this App contains only the simpliest words and not a couple of the, it looks nicer if one Systemlanguage is in every App.
I'm able to make a frensh, spanish, russian and hindi version, too.
I'm shure I would find a translater for italian and more languages.
As soon as I have the time, I will make a version supporting laguagefiles.
The performence is on the one hand depending on .net loading time, and on the other hand the feedback in here is much to less. Therefore I'm not willed to spend hours of work in optimizing performence with low effectivity.
I'm sure you understand that.
Hi everyone,
I'd like to do the following two things: 1st, remove the quicklinks on the (stock) homescreen on my HD2. To be more precise, those three I see by default when looking at the homescreen. The 3x3 block I get by scrolling down can stay.
2nd, I'd like to expand the appointments the calendar shows (which is the main reason for removing the quick links).
I know this can be perfectly done with CHT, since I used it all the time before. But CHT was also the reason for every single hardreset I've done, so I decided to stay as close to stock as possible (hence the Energy Standard ROM) and look into android in the upcoming weeks.
Is it possible to realize my request via 'simple' registry tweaks - or any other means but installing a full homescreen mod?
i don't know of any registry tweaks to do this....never really even seen it discussed.
have you tried energy's older roms with cht 1.8.5? i am using it and it is rock solid.
Ironically, most of the crashes on my HD2 occurred while using CHT 1.8.0 and 1.8.5 (manual installation on stock rom and an energy rom with cht included, respectively). I didn't use version 1.7.x for too long, but at least I had no problems with it back then.
I guess this really is one hell of a question I got here.
Alternatively, is there a way to change the icons of the quicklinks to some with a higher resolution? That'd at least make it visually more attractive.

download JWMD icon changer.......
then you can use any icons you want......
Id seriously look into CHT if I was you....
Even though 2.0 is still in beta its been rock solid for me (and most people)......
ive heard it runs really well installed on the energy reference series.....
Thanks for your quick reply. I guess that'll do for now.
As I already said, CHT is out of the question for me. It is an awesome tool, no second thought here. But you said it yourself: its rock solid "for most people".
I'll stay with my current energy rom and the standard interface and mess around with some android builds for now. This way I always have a stable WinMo installation I can fall back to in case a Android build does not suite my taste.
Anyway, thanks for your help and your concern
