26/04/08 Update: some "i dislike" solved, check AP4 FAQ for solutions, Tips and Tricks
I am trying to open this thread to help AP cookers to have a single point to check for pro and cons in AP4, avoiding to post BUGS here.
Please explain WHY you dislike something
I've tested it for a while and:
I LIKE:
better battery life in my regular usage
the self portrait/landscape function
touchflo responce (after some tuning)
WM6.1 (SMS and IE)
Latest opera
Stability
I DISLIKE
The BIG htc home (to much home screen real estate used), and resources hungry too! (FULL SOLVED BELOW, 4th post)
The new USB Storage can't show the microdrive (PARTIALLY SOLVED BELOW, 4th post)
The slow keyboard responce (I've installed RESCO too, same delays) (FULL SOLVED BELOW, 4th post)
The comm manager without 3g enable/disable (good for battery saving purposes)
The flashing process, without any user control (I've copied the file unzipped during the installation process and i've dome some "reverse enigineering") I believe it could be done using a simpler command file, from command prompt windows, explaining step by step what is going on. Less "tricolours screen" and better debugging

thanx for the opinions and feedback. for the slow keyboard response i would try the tweak that turns off the et9. its found in the main thread and will come in the new version of the config app.
the comm mananger was already in the x7510 rom so i just kept it as it is. i see though that it would be a good idea to add the 3g. i need to check if this comm mananger supports changing its function like the one i have in my polaris rom. then i could just have cmonex add a new tab to the config app where u check what options you like in the comm mananger.
i believe the usb to pc tool when turned on to mass storage mode lets you add to the microdrive.
the big htc home can be replaced with the smaller qvga one via the addons rar.
the flash process you would need to discuss with olipro/cmonex. i though believe its as simple as possible right now but i could be wrong.
A problem, for my important one, is that it occupies much memory. It is to say..., in my single country exist maps for GARMIN XT and if I install MANILA to him DIALER does not load GARMIN to me XT by lack of memory, if I install plugins to him in the TODAY does not load the GARMIN to me by lack of memory...
in the AP3 no....
Some Dislike Solved
1. Big HTC Home
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2053447&postcount=2
download addons.rar
unrar and install HTCHome_1025_721_ALL.cab
FASTER, also in portrait/landscape switching!
2. USB to Storage and Microdrive
Miletb suggest to change:
HLKM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Mass_Storage_Clas s\DeviceName from DSK2:
to
DSK1:
it will work fine - transfer speed is also good
If you want storage card later you will need to change back to DSK2:
3. SLOW KB FEEDBACK:
PAWEL sugges to to change:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="eT9 IME"
"Ime File"="\\windows\\eT9ime.dll"
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
"Ime File"="compime.dll"
this will fix 1)the suggestions dialog in sms/emails being missing 2)the accented characters 3)the slow Kb feedback
P.S. To reduce/cancel the TT landscape/portrait switching during driving, just tune the position of the gooseneck support. It is stable in my tests in landscape mode leaving the top 2 cm backward from the bottom (the top is closer to the windscreen). I drive a Nissan Pathfinder http://www.nissanusa.com/pathfinder/ and my tests were really HARD

sorry but I doubt what you did can be called "reverse engineering"
exactly what is your suggestion anyway? is the way HTC wrote ROMUpdateUtility.exe not good enough for you? or what did you mean, please elaborate.

Reverse engineering in simple words means to use tools to monitor the program execution, dump the memory used, the data flow trought the USB port, then to have a team analyzing all the info and trying to understand what's going on (and I have time, tools, and team)
I mean the process control. RUU is just a PART of the AP4 flashing process. If I want to flash AP4 again I can't do without flashing the SPL again.
You've built a new tool, NOT a plain RUU. AP3 new version is a plain RUU, AP4 IMHO is a batch process launching RUU, undocumented
I like to have a clear view of the processes, is hard to ask to HTC to show their processes, and you and olipro (and some others, POF is great too..) have done a good job in RUU reverse engineeering (RUU is a batch process too, from HTC...). I would like to have the AP4 .exe documented, having also the view of the .nbh and of the other tools used. May be others can build a new ROM to share, based on the new partitioned ATHENA!
The ATHENA flashed with your tool now is the WORST ATHENA in the world
1) no warranty, no way to go back
2) the only ROM available are AP3 and AP4. None can put a new ROM on it!
3) no official ROMs anymore
4) no "self cooked" ROMs anymore
PRACTICALLY SPEAKING IS NEEDED:
1) a simple tool to go back
AND/OR
2) a clear documentation of the changes done and the tools used
BTW I respect your good job, a tuned AP4 is a good ROM, and we are here to help ATHENA/AP4 to be the best device (and to play with knowledge)
3G button in comm manager solved
Just use schap's advanced configuration tool and ADD it Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367043
I've removed the push e-mail button because the AP4 comm mgr default layout can have 6 buttons only, and I've added the 3G on/off.
The tool could be "device customized" shoul be nice to have an ATHENA version....

so i guess i have the comm mananger in there that u can set what items you want in it. hehe ok there will 100% be a 4.1 I think that will be finally what people wanted from 4.0 and i'll make this one a public beta first so we wont have any issues like 4.0
thanks for your post, I might have previously misunderstand your word usage of RE. so what did you do exactly?
because you people were so impatient we just released AP4 and a flasher, if you all had waited patiently, you'd have got it with extras, such as AP4 vanilla (not requiring new SPL), a standalone AP4 full feature rom (with special NBH header so only new SPL will accept it so no risks!!), and a downgrader utility.
but you will get those anyway just wait a bit more patiently.
until then, if you have an urgent warranty problem and *must asap* downgrade to stock ROM, just let me know in a PM.
also, you are a bit wrong about flashing the SPL again - the AP4 flasher checks if you already got SPL 3.50 on, if you do have 3.50 then it will not reflash the SPL (as that would be pointless as we can agree).
what kind of documentation do you need of the AP4 flasher?
here's what it does:
1. you run the athenaupdater exe, it seems to be waiting for something while it extracts itsutils (pmemdump and stuff)
2. the something is to determine if the Athena is running WM or is put in bootloader (if some moron doesn't read the excellent HowTo a link to which is included at the athenaupdater download) - it does it in the following way: attempts to push pmemdump to the athena, if that fails then after 1 min of waiting it'll error out and shows you the ****sticks message
3. if it finds the athena running WM then it also checks the bootloader version by reading a fixed memory location. then compares bootloader version to 3.50, if it is 3.50 then it won't flash the new spl, if it is not 3.50 (can safely assume it is below 3.50) then launches RUU which then launches SSPL (named version 3.15 and will only accept signed SPL's, signed by public htcdevs cert) as the enterbootloader.exe
otherwise just launches RUU with normal enterbootloader and the overwrite protection of the SPL 3.50 won't let the SPL in the big NBH flash.
4. the NBH flashes and the athena is supposed to nicely reboot to AP4.
if you cancel the process you can be left with corrupt wifi/modelid.
+1: for extra safety the NBH has the special header already so no moron can flash it to SPL 1.20 if they manage to quickly put the device in bootloader after the pmemdump check ran.
well I think that's it.
one last question, what was the note about no self cooked roms?
it is entirely possible, you can take the nk.exe module either from AP4 or from AP3newSPL (or use AP3newSPL as base if you are afraid of xip) and use that to make your rom compatible with the new SPL.
and there'll be a downgrade tool anyway.

May be the best solution could be to build XML config file with AP4 cheats and import it into the Shaps default tool.
There are may tweaks in the "basic" tool usefull for AP4 too. Comm manager buttons and many others.
You have a great knowledge about AP4 and about the tweaks used, the fine tuning could be done using the Shaps tool, customized with your XML file as explained
From Schaps
(...) But things changed since 2.x releases, now you can add your own tweaks or translate Advanced Config. by yourself using XML files!
(...)
XML configuration files are named AdvancedConfig_XXXX.xml where XXXX is Locale ID (English and French available at the moment). They contain list of registry tweaks organized by categories.
Here is XML configuration file structure, which is quite simple:
Code:
<advancedconfig>
<category name="Category name" icon="Icon index">
<setting key="Registry key path" name="Registry value name" type="Registry value type">
<title>Tweak title</title>
<description>Tweak description</description>
<values default="Default value">
<value data="Value data 1">Value description 1</value>
<value data="Value data 2">Value description 1</value>
</values>
<restrict>
<value key="Registry key path" />
<value key="Registry key path" name="Registry value name"/>
<value key="Registry key path" name="Registry value name" data="Value data" />
<value key="Registry key path" name="Registry value name" data1="Value data 1" data2="Value data 2" data3="Value data 3" />
<devices>
<model>Device model 1</model>
<model>Device model 2</model>
</devices>
</restrict>
</setting>
</category>
</advancedconfig>Supported value types : integer, string, file, folder.
<values> tag can contain predefined value data for the tweak, which will be displayed in a list in Advanced Config.
<restrict> tag allows you to display the tweak only if it satisfies all the conditions bellow. In this example: Registry key must exist AND Registry value must exist AND value data must equal to specified data AND value data must equal one of those 3 value data AND device model must be one of those 2 models.
Don't hesitate to ask me if something is not enough clear.
You can download here English and French XML configuration files of the lastest Advanced Config. release (2.1.0.0), which is available in this sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070.

Thank you, for the complete answer and the really interesting schedule
I am patient, as I told in other 3ds, and as many of us I like to play with WM6 knowledge.
I will suggest just a change in the schedule: Downgrader first, Vanilla second and AP4.1 (I've seen a lot of interesting improvements suggested from other users) third
So far these are my finding,
I LIKE:
1. the HTC and Athena Project logo - beautiful
2. the self portrait/landscape function – a little jumpy therefore disable it
3. touchflo response – excellence now I can brake
4. WM6.1 – no comments
5. Latest opera though not as responsive as IE, still trying hard diplomatically.
6. Stability – yes, as good as AP3
7. mic reception – great improvement compare to AP3, not sure is becuz of radio change, handfree call effortlessly
8. speed and memory – no issue so far with all my favorite sw running.
9. splash screen – beautifully done
10. HTC home – best with “ HTCHome_1025_721_ALL
11. AP 4.0 HTC X-Button – wonderful to kill background sw
12. WOW HD Setting – greatly improve audio quality in speaker and earpiece
13. GPS fix – better than before, could be due to radio version
14. Bluetooth - discovered range improved with my S705, never from AP3 or radio 1.50

Can't help myself
This thread is one of the most useful (meaning: if the info's not in here I have found it from what is here) about a ROM I have ever read.
More than that, I saw lots of potential for heated defensiveness, but somewhere that energy got sucked up (I hope it got burned off in the right place). I can't tell you how personally edifying it was for me to read such a grown-up and intelligent conversation in this forum.
I'm glad I have a x7501. Thanks.
First things first! As the topic states, this is a *TEST ROM*
DO NOT expect this ROM to be usable for every day use
DO NOT expect this ROM to be well tweaked for performance
DO NOT expect this ROM to ... you get the idea, i hope!
This is the first Test ROM for the Image Update service - this ROM has a 1024KB free space buffer for NK partition, 20MB free space for OS partition. This should be enough to facilitate several ImageUpdates for testing. (It's not intended to have enough space for you to add all your chosen apps for every day use - this is just for TESTING!)
It's based on WM 6.5 21812. This ROM is unique in that both the NK and OS partitions are completely uncompressed, rather than using either XPR or LZX - so i'm testing that too. Please report on overall system performance of the BUILT IN applications (not cabs or packages you install) - i'm wondering if Uncompressed is viable at all vs. XPR and LZX. So far i'm thinking no (60MB LZX -> 80MB XPR -> 150MB Uncompressed) - but testing is warranted!
The Image Update packages for this ROM are now in post 2!
Here's the download link!
Again, this is BAREBONES, the ONLY thing it has is drivers and comm manager, this is done on purpose, so that we can have as few variables as possible while testing deployment
http://rapidshare.com/files/244900505/ImageUpdate-ready-ROM-Raphael.rar
Some notes:
The ROM has an OS pagepool size of 26MB
The ROM has a ULDR pagepool size of 4MB (up from 1mb)
All compression is disabled entirely (not XPR or LZX, but Uncompressed - both on NK and OS partition, also compression is disabled on individual modules and files)
Dr. Watson (Error reporting) buffer reduced from 300K to 0K
Update Packages
QuickGPS
EzInput+eT9
Camera - This will install the Camera, Dshow, Mhub, and SensorSDK packages (Camera is dependant on the others)
Here's the test case scenario - create a directory named "Release" in your filesystem, at the root \ folder (so \Release)
Copy the cab.pks to your device, or sd card, and run it as you would a cab
Note any errors or anything that might occur before the process succeeds or fails
If the process fails - please attach the logs found in \ and \Release to a post, so we can analyze it further
If it succeeds, time to hard reset your device!
Check and see if the package remains after hard resetting.
If it does - We have a winner
A live-updating rom with no need to reflash the device after each upgrade? I love it!
Keep up the good work!
Interesting concept.
this is awesome! cant wait to cook one for kaiser(hint, hint) thanks for all your work, this is going to change EVERYTHING.
Image Update System
I have been following the WM Image Update System thread and the idea sounds very doable. How can we help?... David.
I can Hard reset my phone every day, so if you in need of any volunteers Im here .
I have been following your kitchens for a while, and it's time to return the favor.
Thanks so much for your hard work Da_G!!

HTC Fuze - WM6.5 21812
Da_G...Sir, you are a saint and a scholar...when this is finished it will be the coolest thing since velcro...
I would love to help just let me know how...would be happy to test..report...etc.
Dreaming of the day...no more hard reset
Da_G,
Thanks for your hard work.
I'll been dreaming of the day when I don't have to reflash my ROM or hard reset just to update the software.
I'll beta test and give you report.
D/Ling now, will report after work this evening. :excited:
i am really enjoying the speed. its unreal. every thing else seems normal. i am still loading up my apps right now. i'll post up some more when i get home.
the speed and respon se is secon d to none . i am very much plea des with the performance .
i know you said its barebo nes....so. i will view the lack of came ra e xe and .net. fram ework as by design . let me know if there is anyt hing spe cific you want me to test .

I'm going to need you to test your awesome space bar, it seems to be more than working well... =P
LOL, didn't overwrite CompIME.dll in this release (again for compatibility reasons) so that's why the jacked up spacebar..
But hey, it's a test
Hoping to have packages for you soon
Everything is working smoothly, no issues yet. I read your other post on the image update and want to know how far into user customizablity we can go without messing up the update process, ie. regedits, packages, etc.. Or if its a secure core that we can't really mess up.
Oh, yeah, its supper snappy and extremely responsive. And running at 26% Memory isn't bad either.
Is it safe to assume any updates needed to be deployed, such as over writing the CompIME.dll will be done thru the this new Updating system, correct?
Thanks for your hard work Da_G!!!
So, am I correct that any chefs who want to incorporate the working updating system into their roms will have to cook unprotected? This could get really interesting, LoL.
Thanks for the awesome work!
@Farmer Ted:
Yes, to support Image Update, ROM's will need to be fully "unprotected" - protection is really just damage to the ROM structure that still allows the phone to work
@NFRCER:
Yep, that will be one of the first test packages probably
@danthman2000:
The only thing you need to be concerned about in doing mods is that any files you replace or registry settings you change that might be in a future update, the update will not apply them, unless its specifically set to override your settings by using an mxipupdate_*.provxml - but the creator of the package should be aware of this before hand - so if it needs to override any of your settings it should be set to.
By the way, I plan to have the first test .cab.pkg up by tomorrow, so if you're sitting there with the test rom flashed, might wanna go back to a working one for now

Im curious, I checked the system tab, and I didnt see the Windows Update Icon...
How will we check for the update then? Just wondering, thats all.
My apologies if im asking too many questions
Great news Da_G. I'll test it once you post the update tomorrow. How do the updates get delivered?
Is the .cab.pkg a small file which contains the server information so the phone can go out and retreive it? Or is the .cab.pkg the whole kitten caboodle?
Hello all!
I have a few things I'd last to ask, maybe someone could point me in the right direction (I searched for them). I've cooked several several ROM's now, and want to get into more advanced tweaking.
I want to continue:
Learning about how to implement registry tweaks before installation
Learning how to set a default theme (tsk) for ROM
Learning how to map functions/buttons (start menu, ok button, other WM functions) to the keypad (via registry?)
Thank you pros!
Learning about how to implement registry tweaks before installation - provxml
Learning how to set a default theme (tsk) for ROM - depends on what you use for autorun
Learning how to map functions/buttons (start menu, ok button, other WM functions) to the keypad (via registry?) - yes reg settings
Check this tutorial for cooking in reg settings; with the newer kitchens, you put the reg keys into the app.reg files instead of .rgus, but it's all the same idea. There's another tutorial in the same forum on cooking in files, and it's also well worth reading.
To find reg settings, it's easiest to first dump your registry, then make a change that will appear in the registry, then dump the registry again. Copy both reg files to your desktop and compare them with Windiff or Beyond Compare, and find out where changes occurred (ignore stuff like the time). If you want reg settings for cabs you've installed, then I'd suggest using sk tools and opening the 'installed programs' tool. Do a deep scan, and check out all of the registry settings for the program. You can also use SK Tracker to pretty much find anything you want; it's similar (but better) to the windiff method, except it does it on your ppc and it also finds changed in files and databases that occur when you make settings changes to your device.
First I feel the potential problems with the English, still need a little support from google translator.
I present my rom in version 5.1 (previous versions are in the Spanish forum I frequent There he will see only good things about it http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=2779093#post2779093 )

- Added TW4.5 on the sdcard MikiMod_Co
Installation notes and download link Please READ
- Wipes optional, as long as you come to a rom with KI4 Base.
- Install the folder / sdcard / app Mikimod_CO Jkaydeluxev12.1 necessary for the functioning of the task bar to scroll, the screen lock, On / Off crt effect, and a thousand things more.
- Once installed you can change the kernel rom at your will.
- Remember to do the installation lite to flash the zip Do_Lite_Normal.zip (CWM) or edit yours in Do_Lite_Al_Gusto.zip

Instalation
Very simple.
Download the zip for installation and place it on your phone.
We went into recovery (combo well with vol + Home button and power or some kind of external app if you have)
I am in favor of making all wipes when installing something new, to make the installation cleaner and avoid mistakes, but each to do what you want. (Even so check the installation notes for each rom to see if any were special)
To do this, wipe data / factory reset, wipe wipe dalvikcache cache and advanced.
And finally install the zip: install zip form sdcard / choose zip / and choose the zip
Reboot and ready
Onset is usually somewhat slower, since it is completely normal at the first boot android creates many files and that takes time.
Make lite Instalation
When CarbonOcean to flash (from v5.0) rom is full, ie it has each and every one of the standard apps, to lighten the rom and improve performance, we can make lite rom for it in / sdcard MikiMod_CO find a folder called within two zip you can find them.
DoLiteNormal.zip
For those who are here from the beginning, it would be like the normal versions of my old roms. For those new to flash this zip recovery are automatically deleted from the trash apps that comes with the phone as standard. Flasar this zip will get improved battery life and performance, and reduced application list.
I recommend this zip to flash people android newcomer to the world.
DoLite_editar_al_gusto.zip
So that, in this case we do 100% custom installation. and choose which apps we want and which not. To do this:
If we do from the PC is faster and better, but can be done from the mobile also but from the best cell phone only people who know how to do ...
Open the zip file with Winrar (open OJO not unzip or extract or anything) and we will META-INF/com/google/android / and open it with notepad + + (eye NOTEPAD + + is not worth the typical Windows notepad, if you have not look on Google's free) updater-script file. And something like that but it will be longer:
delete("/system/app/BuddiesNow.apk");
delete("/system/app/Days.apk");
delete("/system/app/DigitalClock.apk");
For it is as easy as deleting the lines of the apps you wish to keep. For example:
Days.apk need the app and do not want to delete. then you go to file and borrais this.
delete ("/ system / app / Days.apk");
so that looks like this:
delete ("/ system / app / AccuWeatherDaemonService.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / AnalogClock.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / BuddiesNow.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / DigitalClock.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / Dlna.apk");
And so with all the apps you wish to keep, if you leave this file flaseais unedited and will erase all apps not required for basic operation of the phone, the only application that is a little more delicate is the mtpaplication, which is for connect via USB (I think the kies). the rest you can delete without problems.
Once you finish editing the file you give it to the floppy. and saved. shut the notepad + + and the win rar will give you a message telling you if you want to update the file inside the zip, you say yes and go.
Will copy the zip to a folder so you can use yours and mikimods future and even in other roms then just go to recovery and to flash the zip file, or from the flash app update.zip CWM seek and accept it.
Themes
You can install any universal theme in the beginning, though it might not work as well as they should, this problem would be only the subject and not mine.
Here I will put the CarbonBlue of @ rastafary (best blue theme of the moment) a little touched up with the aesthetics of my rom. 100% functional on any version CarbonOcean [KI3]
CarbonBlue
For version 5.0 & 5.1 [KI4]

Keep it up!

Thanks miki!

But only tell you that the testing and comparison and if you find something better ... heh, heh. Seriously, what you see is the battery. In terms of performance is couple to the Batista70 (about 5700, 5800 in antutu benchmark)

I've tried DoLiteNormal.zip but nothing happens what's wrong??
Regards
If you have to flash the zip dolitenormal.zip in cwm, you have less apps. Check it and tell me if it is not.
Very good rom, Spain is diferent...thank you mikisb1.
vey nice rom mate , lots of mods and a great deisgn
Yes exactly what's expected but nothing changes... I'll try again..
Regards
it's ok now..
Let me see how is this rom... i came from androidmeda thas is really really good (battery life it's wonderful as less dpi font ) but your rom it's seems nice...
Regards
Rated as exellent.
Do you recommend "copy all system data" with titanium when updating to 5.1 from 3.5?
or just copy apps to avoid system bugs?
I'm an unconditional fan since version 1.0 of your ROM.
I think it's the best ROM for SGS2 at this moment, lesser battery drain and fast, really fast.
Keep working mikisb! See you here and at HTCMania!
Thanks mikisb for your job. I've got all your rom and all of them are simplily faster and no problems.
Salu2!!!
Desde mi bestia
So you finally posted your ROM here on Xda. Been following you're work on Htc mania.
Welcome, always liked you're work
Hi,
We have 400 devices that we use for our driver deliveries.
We have to manually remove certain programs, change the default APN to our personal
APN etc, install contacts and many others tweaks etc.
Obviously this is a laborious task.
Does software exist that creates some sort of script that can be placed on the device
to speed the process up?
Cheers
Matt
Set one up & do a SPB backup then apply backup to other devices *make sure all devices are on same base ROM version ...
Will have to do one setup for each type of device but quick & easy & allows simple recovery if users mess settings up which they will ...
Simple & fast, just make sure first device is setup correct or all cloned devices will have same mistakes.

Hi, thanks for the reply i will give it a go.
or if you're feeling adventurous, spend a weekend learning to work a kitchen, cook up a rom you like with all the settings cooked in, all teh useless apps removed, and flash it to each device. Added bonus that a hard reset will keep all the access point settings and what not, so if one goes down while the driver is away, a hard reset will return the device to a useable configuration.
