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....
BIG THX!!!

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
thx for the answer
but i'm too impatient
Here you have Polish translation .
Here is a more interactive tutorial on the AP4 install. Please feel free to correct any errors.
To install:
Unzip to a location on your local pc

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

Hi there.
I'm trying to install the SGREGORY HTCHome plugin, but get an error installing it, looks like my S740 needs to be "application unlocked" ??
Any tips on how to get that fixed ?

Not really
Found the solution for the application unlock here : http://www.mobilejaw.com/articles/2009/01/removing-the-application-lock-on-htc-s740-smartphone/
But that doesn't solve the problem when installing the Gregory_HTCHomeN.cab installation. Still getting an installation error (translated from dutch: Installation unsuccesfull, program can't be installed or a setting can't be processed because of not the correct systemauthorisation is available)

I think both do the same thing - I couldn't remember the registry settings when I needed to do it, so went the easy way.
Does the homescreen need any separate plugins - smartmonitor for example?
The Greogry_HTCHomeN.cab is a standalone plugin, is doesn't need anythinh else.
It seems to be running on the "vox" an those type of Smartphones with WM6.0 and WM6.1 Standard Editions.
Can't find a specific reason why it will not run on my (dutch) htc-s740.
can you post the cab file on here - I'll take a look.

Here it is...
Hope there is al solution..
Hi. I think its because of the totally new concept of the homescreen on the WM 6.1 standard edition devices. Its different to the WM 6 edition. In my opinion, any today plugin from a WM 6 device will not run on a WM 6.1 device.
P.S. why dont you like the original homescreen HTC plugin delivered with the Rose. I think, its great and has everything from your Gregory plugin. If you like to configure the plugin on the rose, use the homescreen configurator CHome http://smartphonenutsandbolts.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/chome-configurator-for-wm-61/ Works very well on my Rose.
The gregory_htchome doesn't seem to run on my dutch S740.
Too bad, but i just doesn't work. Don't know why.
Switch back to the Standard HTC Home pugin, and play a little more with the home screen configurator.
Thanks..
it works ! it is just a little tricky . i have refresh my notebook and must mod the plugin again, ok!
tomorrow i´ll upload it for you in this thread
Where is the up ?
sorry, i have forgotten !
install the cab and restart , then sda-app-unlock and finally file-explorer over active-sync and putt the contend of the windows/htc in to the main windows folder ... to overwrite the original one. finish
I also have a problem installing the normal HTC Home plugin on my Dutch S740 phone. I'm a newbie so please be gentle.
It gives an error when I want to install a random version of the HTC Home Plugin. Something that the installation file isn't suitable for my device. Where can I download the correct version of the HTC Home Plugin for my dutch version?
do you work with the htc-home-plugin or the gregory-home-plugin ?
Aaah. we meet gain
Well I'm now working with the Gregory version you supplied and it seems to work... I'm getting better at this .
Now I have to see how to tweak this plugin. Well I will continue my search...
have fun ! there is something to mod , on this plugin!

Thanks for the plugin, it installs fine now.
Only thing not working is the WeatherApp ?
I saw a \windows\htc folder with 2 different files, should those be copied to the \windows folder ? The \htc Files are older than the original ones.
yes yes i know that ! they are much older, but there is no way out , these are very diverent versions of the weather-app , the original for the chome and the gregory for home plugin. you have to backup the original (if you want) and overwrite the files to get an working weather on gregorys-htc-home
new cab file ?? please

I wanted to install HTC Home Customizer but after installing this it says I should install HTC Home plugin. When I download this I get an error stating the plugin isn't available/suitable for my device.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a workaround? Who can help me?
MORE INFO: It probably has to do with the fact that I have a Dutch version of the phone and the HHC wants to install an English version of the plugin. So where can I get a Dutch version of Home plugin of HHC???
jesus christ...... how many threads off the same content are started here???!!!
the customizer wont work?, it is normal , you dosnt have a htc-home-plugin.
the s740 is a smartphone... and the only thing a smartphone can use is the gregory-version of the plugin.
there is no dutch, no spanish, no german and so one, only wwe for all.
Thanks for the friendly reply..
its not personaly, you have just one thread .... it is a puplic-hardship
Seems the knowlegde of the average user in here is way out of my league. As you can tell I'm totally new to this. Do you have any sugestion as where I might start my search for knowledge. Maybe a website or blog, where noobs like me can learn the abc of costomizing my s740...
the s740 is a especially device, if you are a newby or advance , the only things of knowlegde about this device, is in the threads of this sub-forum. someday here is more then that, but for now its all, sorry
here is the the gregory-home-plugin (modded by me) for now, you can customize some things, like the clock and so on
OK thanks...

You are awesome, thank you so so so so much. The phone was almost useless to be until this post, did it and it worked great.
i think arabic will be supported when google sells it in the midlle east
also multitouch outside US
Why did you use the donut (1.6) version? There seems to be an Eclair version on the same website you posted
Glad it worked on N1. I'll further work on developing a complete Arabic support for Android Phone.
Note: I hope you explicitly mention the source where you've taken the file.

I'm totally new with the android system, i was working with WM for a long time since i-mate jam
anyway, can you tell me what to do to make nexus read and write arabic ?

Millions of WinCE units are still around. (GPSs, radios, mini netbooks...)
I don't own a WinCE device but I know many things about a WinCE "brother" called Windows Mobile.
I noticed that people are still interested in theming and updating their WinCE devices but they struggle doing it since there's lack of informations on the web.
Many users look for apps exactly designed for WinCE and the catalog is very limited...
and so they often install older version of opera, music players etc...
But they don't know that they can install Windows Mobile apps on their devices!
Luckily many website still provide thousand of great Windows Mobile apps, and looking on xda also you can find many strange apps that geeks would love.
(for example in my personal archive I have an Opera version that "emulates" multitouch on any resistive touch screen etc)
A thing you need to know is that WinCE doesn't recognize Windows Mobile apps installations files. This file format is called ".cab" ... But that's not a problem, there's a way to extract apps from .cab files and use them on WinCE too!
Let me know if you need any particular Windows Mobile app for your WinCE device and I'll upload it here!
(newer versions for video players, radio apps, skype, an html5 browser, games...)
(press the thanks button if I helped you!)

Hi guys! Sorry for the late reply but it's not correctly displayed anymore on my devices.
Yes, i can upload my package online. I've already sent it to some of my supporters on my telegram channel. (https://bit.ly/Mikel_TG)
If I'm not wrong that package just contained Skype, the Opera Mini Browser and another software.
Is there any app in particular that you'l like to use on Windows CE?
Because the sense of my original post was also to provide a gude that explains how to convert any Windows Mobile app (that you can still find on websites like www.freewarepocketpc.net ) into a Windows CE app

I sort of hoped you actually had an archive of software hence my request... I know about freewarepocket pc and several others but many links now fail.... As too telegram I simply don't use it.. My goal is to archive as much wimmo apps and roms as possible as I still use daily several Mobile devices/pdas that use the os.. and occasionally I play around and mess them up by doings so... so having an offline archive is useful.

Yes, I have several folder on my external hard disk. I didn't upload yet because I'll want to reorganize them and be sure to avoid uploading useless files like my photos and so on...
I regret to have not downloaded more apps in the past years, but how could I know, as an unexperienced young teen, that most WinMo sites will be closed?
Anyway we can exchange our archives. How big is your one?
A few months ago, with a friend of mine, I started a project to preserve old software for Android, it would be cool to do the same for Windows Mobile.

Hi.
Do you know about the update ROM and firmware for Windows CE ?
I need download some ROM from ZebraSupportPage.
And, Im excited to learning about WinCE. How to add the language support for it. How the Windows CE Or Softwares can be run from removeable storage? I seen it run from Compactflash.
