[27/10/08] AthineOS v2.3 [R&D STOPED..] ~62MB Free Ram

[b16b]

Anytime I'm on the phone, I'd like to adjust the volume when I have the phone to my ear...with the official ROM, the scroll wheel would take care of this. However, anytime I scroll the wheel, all I do is adjust the system volume, and not the actual in call volume...suggestion?

i try to found fix for this if i can not the next release will be without opal volume control

Great ROM! Just installed it today. The only thing I've noticed so far is the lack of Solitaire and BubbleBreaker, however the system files are still installed. So basically, it's not freeing any space, yet we don't have access to the games! Those two games are really worth keeping in my opinion. I don't think they take up more than a meg of space either.

I'll post again if I find anything else! :-)

Great work! I really appreciate it! Very fast!

Hi b16b,

Just installed your 2.2 ROM.

A couple of questions:
1. Every time I do an SR, after the screen that shows the boot status, I get a message saying "Finalizing BootUp".
2. Every now and then I get a screen blur in the top third of the screen. Even immediately after SR.
3. IGO8 won't install, it hangs at the 1st stage of installation (Languages).
4. You removed ClearTemp from Start-Settings-System, bad idea....

welcome my friend

1. is only a screen nothing special say is final settings for start your device.. but is only a picture..
2. this is from latest HTC Home Program.. is not something special but is problem from latest HHOME
3. you must have the final version of IGO8 or from 6 Jul and later
4. is the same things like hard reset right? why you don push the two buttons with "-" together and push with pen the SR button? if you use this way you don't want the Clear storage and not clartemp clear temp is this is not default

Hi b16b,

1. Yes, I understand it's only cosmetics, but even so. it IS a bit unnerving to see thsi every time and to wonder whether it's real or not...
2. Haven't encountered this in other ROMs I've tested in the past couple of weeks (though I never use this HTC Home screen, but rather SPB SHELL).
3. I do have that version (even a legal version...). For me IGO8 is a must app. If it doesn't run on a given ROM, I can't use that ROM..
5. Yes, ClearTemp is the same as HR, but it requires aerobatics. The ClearTemp solution is simple and easy, with the same results.

1. i thinks is beautiful
2. disable the HHOME from Today screen
3. try this IGO8.exe (http://www.4shared.com/file/68137699/19c22b06/iGO8.html) or go to IGO8 site and found the last update
4. install THIS ONE (http://www.4shared.com/file/68138596/d3589898/b16b_Clear_Storage.html)

i go to sleep now :p is 1:00am here

1. The startup screens ARE beautiful! (possibly the nicest I've seen, from all the ROMs I've tried). I'm just referring to the incorrect message shown every time.
2. The IGO8 issue is gone, I don't know what happened.

I'll reflash your ROM later today/tomorrow and continue my tests.

Thanks.

2. without change nothing? or you disable the HHOME?

[wisniak]

I don't really know what the problem was.
My copy of IGO8 never had any issues with the HHOME.

[cassini24]

igo8 works beautifully on my tilt with one exception, I cannot dial the POI's. I have tried editing the sys file with

[phone]
;driver="TAPI"
;exe_path="\Windows\cprog.exe"
;win_name="Phone"

however, the phone icon is still grayed out. Anyone else seeing this problem or is it something with my igo setup?
Thanks

btw, great ROM. It has worked better for me than any of the others I have tried.

i WANT tester for V2.3 before release it
because i don't have time to test it alone.. and your help is better than very good ;)

[cassini24]

i'm using igo8 version 8.0.0.49545 (Jul 30, 2008).
I am loving it so far, but wish I could dial the POI's.

At&t Tilt
wm6.1
ce 5.2.20755

everything else seems good to go.

i have (08 jul 08) .44902
but i don't understand your problem you can call the shops from poi? i don't have this choice in my country :(

[cassini24]

Yes, there is an option to phone dial the POI within iGo but on my installed version, my phone icon is greyed out so I cannot connect. I have heard of others who CAN dial, but have not found a way to do so. I will try to obtain a screenshot tonight and post.

b16b,

Good morning.

I wanted to ask you abour your philosophy regarding inclusion/exclusion of apps in the ROM, and what exactly do you mean by "fast".

The issue is, if too many apps are excluded by the chef, and the user then needs to install them, they'll eat up precious RAM.
On the other hand, if they're loaded unto ROM - it both saves installtion time for the user, and also frees up RAM.

Each time after I flash a new ROM, I have this 45-48 steps list that I have to follow, in order to check whether a specific app is installed or not, and then setup the Sashimi automated installer accordingly, so that I can automatically install about 50% of my apps (the others either require SR to complete install, or are other manual things I need to do anyway, at least until I better understand how Sashimi works).

I completely understand that the cook can't possibly include all apps into the ROM, since many of them aren't free, and so can't be cooked-in in the first place.
So I'm asking about the free stuff, eg:
HTC CONNECTION SETUP 1.5.34564.cab
AT&T RemoveHiddenProxy CAB
Google Search CAB
PPCPimBackup
Adobe Flash 3.1
Schaps Advanced Config 3.3
GPSTest_v1.04.cab
Google Maps 2.2.0.20
enable BAND page CAB
TodayAgenda
HTC Action Screen2
HTCHomePlug_9Icons.CAB (or the regular 6 icons CAB)
WM6.1SMTPfix.CAB
netcfcfg
etc.
(I don't recall at the moment which of the above are included, so don't flame me. I just gave them as a reference for the apps I work with). and I know I didn't mention many other apps that you DO include in the ROM.

Last, please try to find a way to speed up the splash screens during the boot process, they're shown (in my opinion) way too long. The ARE beatiful, but I think that the users want to be able to begin work as quickly as possible.

And don't forget to remove the erroneous message that I wrote to you about earlier.

Thank you.

Thank you.One thing that is incorrect about this is RAM. Pre-installing an app does NOT save RAM. At all. Period. A running app will consume the same ammount of RAM regardless of where they are. Second thing is that splash screens are not displayed for however long the ROM cooker sees fit. Splash screens are displayed for how long it takes the OS to boot. Obviously one wants the device to boot faster but its not as simple as changing a value in the registry. As far as your cabs that you think should be preinstalled, for the most part I dont have a problem, but some I think would b a bad idea. Flashlite, for instance. If a future version of FL comes out, having it cooked into the ROM may prevent a newer one from working. As far as SASHIMI, I am surprised that it only does half of your cabs. You can use sashimi to install cabs that require a reset. You dont actually have to reset after each one. Just throw all you cabs in the auto folder then reset after they are all done. Then you can auto install reg files and xml configurations, copy files to directories ect. I think SASHIMI could probably do more for you than it currently does. Do you know the new location of sashimi's resources? I can point you to bengalih's new site for more help.

many of this apps wanted only from you.. i must have one rom for every one here..

AT&T RemoveHiddenProxy CAB :is only for AT users
HTC CONNECTION SETUP 1.5.34564.cab: this i have in cab because after auto settings you can deleted is not necessary any more
Google Maps 2.2.0.20 i use the destinator.. someone else the IGO8
Schaps Advanced Config 3.3 in v2.3 i have included the power managment so you don't wanted.. only for special use..
GPSTest_v1.04.cab i have the Quick GPS

for boot up speed you can disable from advance config the animation screen but i don't now if have beter result...
the Boot up Finalizing maybe change with Windows Loading...

you can also use the UC from the rom to install in the first run all your CABS
Thank you for your Helping ;)

thanks also the @JKingDev for HELP

The speed is not only from removing apps is also from cleaning and Tweaks..

JKingDev,
Thank you for the information.
I understand that the apps require RAM memory to run. What then is the benefit of preloading them in ROM? Is it "just to save installation time" (besides being able to verify that they can co-exist and that there aren't any conflicts)? I'm not quite clear on that.
I thought that loading apps into ROM would save RAM space (I mean, the space required to store them in memory rather than in the SD card), regardless of the RAM space required for them to run.
Regading Sashimi, I thought I had pointed out that it's my relative lack of experience with the tool. But the list I referred to includes several manual processes (eg loading setup files that I have backed up, eg in PocketWeather or in Advanced Config. I'm not certain that Sashimi can handle this). I have yet to try to autoinstall everything, including apps that require SR post installation, and other apps that require manual input to complete the installation process.
At the moment, I've shortened my apps install process, from about 3 hours, to about 1 hour (including the registration process), by using Sashimi.
I tried to locate in registry all the keys that refer to my installed apps, in order to export those keys (hoping that they'd include the registration info), and then have them loaded by Sashimi. Sadly, this worked for only 2 apps. I have yet to look into this, to find out what exactly doesn't work.

Hi b16b,

Re the RemoveHiddenProxy CAB, I have the AT&T Tilt, but am not in the AT&T network. So for any AT&T-based ROM I install, I have to install this CAB, otherwise I can't have any external communication (GPRS etc).

Can you please enhance on the UC stuff? Would it help load apps to ROM/RAM?

Thanks.

wisniak, yes the only benefit of preloading an app is saving install time. The space that the programs are stored in is ROM. RAM is the runtime memory that they use. You would still not save any ROM space though, because more preloaded apps will mean the ROM image will be bigger, leaving less left over. Notice that AthineOS has 146mb of ROM free while a fully loaded ROM has less.
Regarding SASHIMI, thats okay that you dont have much experience with it. I was only trying to help point out how it could be more use to you. You can use advanced config to export an xml file with your settings. Change the extension of that file from provxml to just xml and put it in your XML SASHIMI folder. Now you advanced config tweaks are automatic. Go ahead and let SASHIMI auto install cabs that require user input. SASHIMI will let them prompt you for input. They will work fine. Also let it do cabs that require a soft reset. Only one reset is needed after the whole process. As far as app registration, I also could only automate some. Try doing a registry search for your reg code and export the key that contains it if you find it. Hope this helps.

Why do you need the remove proxy? I have a tilt, i use tmo, and i have never needed this. I am not sure what it does. I have been running athineOS for a few days now, no problems.

UC is a good tool, but I suggest sticking with SASHIMI. I dont think UC can do anything SASHIMI cant. Plus, with UC you have to write a config scripting file. SASHIMI is simple as putting the cab in a folder.

Thank you again, JKingDev.

Are the apps I install loaded to RAM or ROM (when I choose installation to Device)? I thought it was to RAM, hence my question. If this is so, then there's an obvious preference to have everything to ROM, isn't there? Since ROM isn't available for me as a user anyway.
What is the benefit for the user of having 146MB ROM free? Athina has more free ROM since b16b has only included the basics in the ROM?


Re Sashimi, I understood your points on the previous post. Thank you for the enhancements.

This coming weekend I'll try the new version (hoping it'll be out by then).

Re Sashimi, I understood your points on the previous post. Thank you for the enhancements.

When you install a program and choose to install to the device, it goes to ROM. I think the problem here is the ambiguous use of the term ROM. It really means to very different thing. The ROM, or ROM image contains the operating system and any build in apps. This can only be changed by flashing the device. ROM also means the storage space on the device. It is really not accurate to call the device storage "ROM" because it is not "read only memory" but it is still called that by convention. Think of it like a computer. You have a hard drive and RAM. ROM is your hard drive, where files and programs are stored. RAM is runtime memory where running programs allocate dynamic memory. So if someone is talking about flashing a ROM or a ROM someone has cooked, they mean the ROM image that contains the OS. When they talk about ROM storage space, like how much free ROM is left, they mean the storage space. So if a ROM image is smaller, that leaves more ROM left over for storage and installation of apps.

[b16b]

write in there where you have your cabs in storage card

Changes on AthineOS v2.3

1. DSHOW|Added
2. New MMS Version|Added
3. Tweaks For Battery Life|Added
4. change the "Finalizing boot" with "Windows Loading..."|Added
5. File Explorer Extensions|Added
6. OPENDLG V1.66|Added
7. Opal Volume|Removed

[tchavei]

1. The startup screens ARE beautiful! (possibly the nicest I've seen, from all the ROMs I've tried). I'm just referring to the incorrect message shown every time.


Thx :D

About the incorrect msg... For me "finalizing bootup" or "Loading Windows" is the same. B16b decided to change it for V2.3 but technically speaking, I don't really see a problem with it. Originally the text was added because the last image of the animated gif was exactly the same as the png image that comes right after. We were having some hanging issues during boot (gif wasn't in compatible format) and we needed a way to distinguish the both pics to know exactly where the the thing was hanging.

Are you the creator of the splash screens?
If so - well done!


Re the message, I thought it really meant that the installation was not completed, so I was worried why I was getting the same message over and over again. I've not yet installed the new version, but the new wording seems better.

[tchavei]

Yes, I did the all the splash screens for versions 2.0-2.2 :)

I really liked this ROM and since money is short, instead of a financial contribution, I gave what I could :)

Still, compared to the effort b16b had in developing this rom, those splash screens were a piece of cake (well except maybe for the computer bootup sequence which was a headache due to compatibility issues :p )

Is ActiveSync been removed from this ROM? My device can't auto sync once I plug into notebook.

Hello!

I'm very interested in this latest Athine ROM but RapidShare doesn't work for me :( (it's really rubbish I would say but anyway...)

Could somebody please upload the file on another server (mirror link) such as 4Shared?
Thanks very much :)

Any other AT&T Tilt users have an issue with Video Calling? It attempts to video call, then fails and asks me if I'd like to SMS, Voice Call, MMS, etc. Any ideas?

Also, instead of showing 3G at the top of the screen, it shows "H". For about 5 minutes I saw the 3G icon randomly, no idea where I was. Is this the problem? I know I'm in an area that gets 3G.

i don't have titl the H is better than 3g is faster but you can disable it from settings->connection

[SectorNine50]

Okay so that's not the issue then. Why would I not be able to video call? The video call screen comes up and everything, but it won't dial!

This is what it says:
Failed to make the video call, what do you want to do?
-Try again
-Make voice Call
-Send SMS
-Send MMS

Any ideas?

3G means you have UMTS but not necessarily the faster HSDPA and HSUPA. Usually though, the carriers roll out HSDPA on their towers. So if you see 3G, you probably have HSDPA, but not HSUPA. If you see "H" it means you have both HSDPA and HSUPA. Enjoy the fact that others in less privileged markets with less privileged carriers envy you. :)

I had the same issue with the SRS WOW thing, I just didn't install it. Doesn't matter much to me anyway.

Yes, this ROM does support MS Voice Command, I use it. I don't like having to program all the names into Cyber, so I installed MSVC 1.6. Works very well with the tilt.

Anyone feel that 2.3 gets somewhat slower the longer the phone is on?

[alexeym]

Hi! Just installed this ROM and it looks initerfesting. The only question is it possible to get Russian language, for instance, on keyborad?

i don't have search to change the language search in the forum with button search on the top right

or install any of touch keyboard or resco keyboard and download your language.. you can also find programs for Hardware Keyboard..

try the new one rom if you want the 3.34d.b16b or 3.34e.b16b with the new build and os 20757

Not so much the longer the phone is on but ever since I flashed. It was very fast when I first installed it. Lately though my kaiser has been extremely sluggish and I am not sure why. Even right after a soft reset. I am going to install the latest tomorrow though.

*edit* oops wrong thread. I am actually using 3.0 right now.

*edit again* I discovered that the slowness was due to a problem syncing my exchange calendar. Seems to be a corrupted entry on the server. Hoping to get that fixed soon.

[wawashere]

can i ask what onscreen keyboard did you use?
