Ok...so for all of you who have been sending me PM's for the test build if its perfect or not. I shall post a small video to show you YES !! it is Mango Beta 1.
Download Link has been added at the bottom of the post
Couple of things to mention:-----
1) Its still Beta
2) The Marketplace doesn't work
3) HTC Hub doesn't come pre installed and also searching the marketplace
gives no results
4) Mango is said to support HTML5 but this build unfortunately doesn't as
shown us in the Mango HTML5 Speed Reading.
5) Nothing I can think of.....
By user: GameDr04
1) As with any unlocked phone, the APN isn't pre-programmed into the phone so it has to be added. It's a LITTLE annoying since T-Mobile has three from which to choose. All three show "3G" in the status bar but only one truly connects. It was epc.voicestream.com
2) Toggling the data radio causes the phone to freeze then reboot about 60% of the time.
3) As mentioned, the Marketplace doesn't work when you try to install something. But it does work for multimedia - I bought some music last night without issue.

Remember the fall release of Mango by Microsoft with more than 500 new features ??
backlashsid, I'd like to add to your list, if I may. I'm running Beta 2 on my HD2 at the moment. There are some additional problems.
1. as with any unlocked phone, the APN isn't pre-programmed into the phone so it has to be added. It's a LITTLE annoying since T-Mobile has three from which to choose. All three show "3G" in the status bar but only one truly connects. For me, it was epc.voicestream.com
2. Toggling the data radio causes the phone to freeze then reboot about 60% of the time.
3. As you mentioned, the Marketplace doesn't work when you try to install something. But it does work for multimedia - I bought some music last night without issue.
4. .....there was something else and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was! If I do, I'll post it.
Overall, I LOVE MANGO! The groups feature is amazing. And messaging: above and beyond. The whole OS just seems snappier.

thanks for the tip !!! i shall add them to the first post !!
Oh! I remembered! I can't seem to get MMS to work - at all. The messaging service just says "Can't sent. Contact your service provider for settings". I've tried all of T-Mobile's published APNs but none of them works.
//edit
OK. I figured it out.
I had to DevUnlock my DFT Mango installation through Microsoft (not with Chevron but rather legitimately). Then, I could side-load HTC's Connection Setup XAP. Running that solved my data and MMS problems.
Also, the DevUnlock allowed me to upgrade from DFT's Beta 1 to MS's Beta 2.
Happy testing!

from dft i dont know, but the beta released by microsoft last day is the 7661, this build is the 7592 (beta1).. we have a march release.. 7661 is a june release
To attempt to clear up the confusion around the beta number...
It's a little bit of typo mixed in with my buried hopes and dreams.

That was the e-mail I got from Microsoft a few days ago. I read that as Beta 2... Then, when I got my hands on DFT's release, I assumed it was Beta 2. But now that I've actually LOOKED at the versioning, I realized that DFT's is older.
What kills me the most is I CAN'T FIND THAT E-MAIL ANYMORE! I have that one picture 'cause I sent it to a friend of mine but the e-mail itself is GONE.

Hi, thanks for the review.
I'm interested to know if there is such a feature on Mango that would let me insert quick replies in the middle of a particular sms thread or conversation? And if there is any way to edit or create "reply" templates...
Thanks, would appreciate your feedback
I just looked and I couldn't find one. There's a chance it could be in there but I just couldn't find it...
It seems like in the video multitouch issue is fixed? Or is it still buggy as in previous version (Nodo)?

Is anyone using the black rom on their ATHENA/ADVANTAGE/AMEO WITHOUT issues. I have been reading the threads and am a little leary since most people are posting some kind of issue. I see that the black ROM shows a phone icon and assume that this icon activates the phone display which is primarily what I want.
I would like to find a rom/soft that allows me to have i-phone-like dedicated buttons (possibly with on/off toggle feature like menu settings in WM6 or customizable) on the screen that allow me to activate specific functions ESPECIALLY phone.
Are there any "cooks" that have successfully done this?
Well, I personnaly use Black Dual PK 3 without any issue other than those of the software they include.
More specifically, I have had no problem with the HTC Home plug-in, wktask, etc.
I did disable the Quick Launch today plug-in, that I found cute but way to long-winded to cusomize, as well as extremely basic, and replaced it with the well-known iLauncher.
Having most used applications two screen-touches away at most is ALSO a bottom-line need for me. iLauncher, along with the launcher integrated in the HTC Home plug-in, fullfil that need quite nicely and practically.
I therefore have nothing to envy iPhone users, quite the contrary actually, in my opinion.

I am in USA using tmobile. Do you know if the items you mention will work with tmobile? Do you have links for them?
No reason why they shouldn't work with T-Mobile, they're not directly phone-related.
HTC Home is the big Today plug'in that can be seen at the top of the screen on Black Dual PK 3 related threads, displaying the clock and stuff.
Let me take and show a few screenshots of my current setup... There !

This one shows the small animation iLauncher provides when switching tabs.
And finaly, this one shows how well Audio Manager integrates into HTC Home. So the Athena's a very decent mp3 player interface-wise, IMHO; with this ROM at least.
Top is HTC Home, bottom is iLauncher and PocketBreeze (both of which are not supplied with the ROM, of course).
I appriciate you sharing this with me. I like what I see and will give it a try. there are a couple of things that I don't know. I am really a basic newbie at this.
**Can I back up my existing setup\ROM and go bnack to it if I want?
If so, how do I achieve it?
**Are the additional items that are not in the ROM free to dowload? where can I find them?
**How long does the whole process take to do?
**Are ther how-tos posted somewhere for newbies like me who have only half a clue?
I am ready to learn all I can. I am happy to meet someone who has the knowledge.

No problem really. And I know that wile the forum is so rich in terms of information that it is the single place where you can find pretty much anything you want to know about the Athena, this information is so disseminated that it can be overwhelming.
guardm said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course. Easiest way to do that is:
- to find your current ROM on the internet and download it to your PC for "safekeeping";
- use Sprite Backup that is provided free of charge with the Athena and backup your entire system (you don't absolutly need to back-up what's on the microdrive as it is left untouched by ROM upgrades. Of course, it is always best to backup as often as you can whetever data you deem important) to the microdrive, and then put that on your desktop 'puter along with the original ROM for safekeeping. You can make a self-restoring archive so that you don't even need to reinstall Sprite Backup if you go back to original.
All you'll have to do in order to go back to your current setup will be to flash the original ROM back and then restore the Sprite Backup back-up.

There are thousands of items to download free of charge for PocketPCs, and hundreds of sites to download them from, that's the beauty of Pocket PCs (Windows Mobile-based PDAs).
A place I like as a "starter" is www.pocketpcfreeware.com, one of those I've been using for years. It doesn't ave them all, but it has the essentials, and it's an excellent "point of entry" into the fabulous world of PocketPC (PPC) freeware.
A good freeware launcher is cLaunch. It's not as pretty and customisable as iLauncher (which displays the small iPhone-like buttons on my screenshot), but it is still very good. And there are a number of things that ressemble PocketBreeze (the bottom plug-in that shows my appointments and stuff). The HTC Home plug-in is provided with the Black Dual by PK ROM, and requires little customisation effort.
guardm said:
**How long does the whole process take to do?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, depends on what you do, how much you customize, etc. But mainly:
- 3 minutes to hard-SPL your Athena (which allows you to flash any ROM you want to your Athena - this is mandatory);
- 5 to 10 minutes to flash your new ROM, I'd say;
- 5 minutes to go through all there is to go through when you hard-reset your device (what you did when you first turned it on: setting the date, calibrating the screen, etc.);
- 15 Minutes to install the Black Dual by PK ROM add-ons.
And then, it all depends on what you install, and how much you tweak.
With practise, in less than an hour, you can have flashed your Athena to a new ROM, and installed 30 applications with a little bit of "tuning".

Not many how-tos, alas. First of all things you should do is to read through the Athena Wiki, which will at once let you know many things about your Athena and get you familiar with the "terminology" (most people here, myself included, have forgotten that you don't learn what a "soft key", for instance, is at school ).
Then the stickies in each forum.
And keep posting here. Dunno, maybe that thread COULD become a "beginner's walkthrough"...
WOW!!! that's a lot to absorb and digest. I will take small bites and work at it. Again, the wealth of information is present. And thanks to people like yourself, I can learn somke things that I didn't know. thanks for the education. I will post with my results and potential questions in the next few days.
I used the cooked ROM on my Athena with TMobile without any issues. I've since changed over to AT&T for the 3G but you shouldn't have any problems with TMobile. If you use their VPN Internet plan you'll just have to change the settings a little but nothing a little searching or a call to TMobile tech support won't resolve in an instant. Any time support tries to tell me they don't support my device, I return with a question of "What, you don't support Windows Mobile 6?"...that shuts them up quick and give me what I need. Good luck and you'll be flashing to a superior ROM.

Well guys, I already encountered my first hurdle. The ROM upgrade attempt was unsuccessful. The ROM update returned a message that my rom image is corrupt. I downloaded the original "shipped" ROM from the HTC site and will attwmpt to load that to start "factory fresh" and try the cooked ROM again......

Unless you purchased the phone used, it's only SIM unlocked. This means you can use it with any carrier that supports the technology. If you purchased the device new you'll need to run Olipro's unlocker to CID unlock it. CID unlocking the phone allows you to flash any ROM to the device without a problem. I think you should reflash with a factory ROM to get your phone up and running and take this weekend to do some thorough reading. I don't want to see your next post being that you bricked the device and the only thing you see is a red LED. Get your phone back up and running, take the weekend to educate yourself further so you can regroup and tackle this with a new perspective.
I have it up and running at the factory ROM level from HTC.....
I got the Dual Black to load. It appears to be working. Thanks for your patience. NO BRICK YET. lol.
I tried to use the add ons but I don't know what to do to install the .cab files.

Well if you got the ROM installed, you won't brick it. CONGRATS! and welcome to the club.

You're welcome ! Glad to count you as a follow Black Dual by PK ROM *power*-user.
There are two bars on each side of the "taskbar" (the bar that has the "Start" button).
The top one shows the battery charge status. It is the program "dcibattery", which a link in the \Windows\Startup launches everytime you start your Athena (soft reset).
The bottom one shows the RAM status, available for the running programs. It is also launched at startup using the link "qwertymemory" in the \Windows\Startup directory.
This ROM is based CE OS 5.2.21040 (Build 21040.1.6.0). ROM dump for Rhodium test device.
TF3D2 is included but needs to be updated with the update patch from Xboxmod.
Please test bluetooth, bluetooth headset, activesync, GPRS, and all other basic functions. Please do not post about Manila bugs. I know it gives an error when it first boots and will fix it in a couple of hours.
Just want the basic functions of the phone tested for now to make sure it works.
Thanks!

DOH!
Forgot to add the link in my haste to get to class
Ill try and help you out here since Im a fan of your work, but if you just want the basic functions of the phone tested for now, why not use the first version of TF3D so that it eliminates the current TF3D UI errors. Then, when you want to test out to see how friendly the Rhodium TF3D is with this build, then include it for us to test? That way, if there are bugs we would be able to distinguish if its related to the new build/base rom or its its related to the Rhodium TF3D.
At0mAng,
Looking forward to the surprise awaiting in this ROM.
Keep it up dude.

I'm flashing now, I'll let you know what I find. Since, I haven't said it before, thanks for all your hard work, I've been enjoying your rom for the past few days!

No problem and thank you. I just uploaded a new version that has BT drivers in it. For some reason the ROM dump did not have BT drivers with it and I noticed it after I posted the link and after qsqa mentioned it to me
feeling adventurous.

Party pooper
I've only used ROMeOS over my past few phones and then a little RRE action but since I've used some of your cabs, the most recent one being the agps settings, and I think have some with your name in them on my site, maybe you know what time it is so what the hell, slow day at work, I'll flash yours even though I was up until 4am last night flashing and perfecting the latest RRE. Gotta have the bleeding edge!
Also I want to lock this useless post on your thread nice and early because if it's as pimp tight as I think it might be I'd like to give you a super silly fresh fast mirror and want to link it here.
[edit] here's that mirror.
Here's to us.

Here goes nothin!
Well, the first thing, and this may be something I'm doing, but I ran connection setup but I have no signal and when I try to open up the phone dialer it gives me the cprog.exe error. I'll edit this post if I find anything else.

Download it again...This version should give no errors...sorry.
I can not test any of the phone functions...phone is broke...I think we all know the story
Just so everyone knows...this is a rough beta...still need to clean sys and do some of my tweaking to it. Clean up icons and such...so be advised it is nowhere near to a finish product.
Okay, will reflash in a moment. Why are all of the Chef's phones breaking? My phone breaks, no cares but me, your phone breaks and all of us flashing addicts are lost! NATF broke his too!

Thanks...i know all about the new apps. as i said my phone is broke and i want to make sure the basic functions are working before i start porting the apps.
just want to make sure all basic functions are working. bluetooth headsets, activesync, wireless lan and other basic functions.
i have a new build to post when i am done with classes today...
So far, so good. All of the basic features I have tried, worked as normal. I was able to connect to my bluetooth headset, phone calls have been made, texts have been sent. I entered in my connection settings and have been surfing the net on Opera. Anything else specific that you'd like me to test?

A few hours after i get out of my classes if nothing nasty pops up
Yeah, BT has worked fine on multiple calls both in and out. The only thing I can't help you with is wifi, mine hasn't worked since I started flashing roms and I have yet to find a fix for it. ActiveSync works fine also.
At0mAng,
One quick question - does this ROM include any time bomb.
Thanks,

Yes...I did not hex edit the shell.exe yet...I am still building this. I am basically going through all the DLLs and EXEs one by one to see what can be used and what cant be used. Before I went through all that trouble I wanted to see if all the hardware functions were working correctly.
Today, I happened to spot a post on Vodafone forum with latest ROM info. The address is here: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18695&st=40&start=40 User TheFitz said @ May 7 2009, 03:48 PM
"Hi All,
Great news (well for me anyway). I've received my new phone at midday as promissed by VF. The lateness of this post I didn't want to jump the gun on the new one working nicely. I've attached a copy of my ROM settings for viewing of the old and new versions. Old version(on the left) is 1.90.161.5 where as the new version is 5.10.161.1 and is 6 months later. It seems the new ROM has a load of tweeks which mean I believe there is a marked improvement in:
a) Call Quality - Had poor reception
b) Boot Time - 5ish mins to under a minute
c) Call connectivity - no problems so far
d) GPS startup speed - 6 Sats locked in 10 (YES 10) seconds
e) Touch Screen response is near perfect
f) Internet Connection may be faster, but difficult to tell
g) General application working times cut
h) Call connection both dialing and pickup is faster.
I have disabled TouchFlo, but I didn't use it anyway on the old phone.
I am happy to respond with further comments on things if people want anything else.
There is also an additional function that seems to be added that instead of 1 red and 1 green button when a call arrives, the buttons have been changed to a slider on screen which ensures movedment of the slider to either reject or answer to deal with the call. That'll save me answering the phone im my pocket. See 2nd pic for example
Old Phone rating out of 5 (1 Bad - 5 Good), I'd say -(minus)3!! rolleyes.gif
New Phone so far out of 5, I'd give it a 4.5, but I've never given a 5, so I am currently very happy with the phone. Will post if I notice any further problems.
In short, RING VF and get them to flash your ROM. This seems to solve the problem very well.
Thanks VF, customer satisfaction restored.

OK. If no has it here, I will upload once my phone is repaired. The screen of my Touch Pro is dead though I could backup, run applications on it with remote control on my PC. The phone should be returned to me in 7 working days with latest ROM.

The OEM and radio have been here for a month & a half, so the drivers, etc have already been pillaged. But I'm sure the Wiki could use an updated Vodafone ROM, so please, upload it to the Wiki when able.

I've been waiting for this too, as I usually keep the stock ROMs (for the OS at least) until the warranty or my contract runs out, it deffinatly sucks that they've not released it as a download, they've done for all the others in the past including the Diamond?
Ahh well go figure?
Hi guys
I have seen this rom on a a friends htc pro ...
I could upload it as soon as I figure out how to create a dump out of it

Got repaired phone yesterday. Actually they sent it out on the 3rd day after I posted it to them. Speedy! Just did not have time to collect it from local collection office.
Dumped ROM (raw files, needs to rebuild) download link has just been added in the first post of this thread. Enjoy!

Didn't receive the PM, but never mind.
Thanks for sharing, but it indeed looks like an internal IP address..
However, I think the supl.nokia.com is back in the air again.
I am now getting AGPS info injected again in the NMEA log, so it seems it's back up.
Anyone know how to reconstruct this dumped rom?

Probably you can use the raph kitchen in the Wiki.
Being that the previous thread was getting filled up, I have opted to start a new thread. This thread is to be for Force Development ROM's. They are primarily devoted to the Titan just as before, but we are restructuring a bit.
From this point on, please do not refer to these ROM's as "Tplane37's 21xxx 6.5 ROM" as I am not the only person working on these behind the scenes. I would prefer that they are referred to as "Force Developments" ROM's, thus allowing universal credit to everyone involved in the process.
Additionally, if you would like to join in on the efforts, or have questions pertaining to these ROM's, we are on the IRC at:
Server: chat.Freenode.net
Channel: #forcedevelopments
A web site is also in the works. Thanks for testing and we look forward to working with you!

Okay, I should have tested these builds longer before releasing them. Now that I am getting into the more advanced side of things, you may see more time between releases. I am going to be working on things still, so check in once in a while and see what I have up and going. If you like the M2D for 6.5, don't worry, there are CABs available. Just remember, they are being tested as well and are the exact same files I was using in the releases I just pulled. I need to relax a bit and quit getting so excited about new features and need to get back to focusing on quality. I will be around and still working in the background, but as I said, more time will pass between releases. Thanks for testing!

So far looks good. I installed the optional items and really like it. Are you trying to duplicate without SPB?
23004 with the SPB is working great. Looks good, runs fast, memory holding steady.

I would like to, but that is not likely. This is where I found the setup in the manual install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407487
I am toying with SPB 3 now, but am having issues cooking it in. This is by far one of the more difficult tasks I have encountered because the registry entries are rotating around all over the place and being a pain (as far as customizing). The "Ultimate WM7" is not working with SPB 3, but I am hoping to figure everything out so I can manually change the files. I have tried contacting the creator numerous times in the past few months, but have received no response. So this is new territory for me.
All in all, with the help of others on the Force Developments Team, we are trying to get something unique in our ROMs since it is no longer much of a challenge to get a working ROMs out of things. Hope everyone enjoys testing!
I have been using the spb 3 on your rom and have just found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697&page=276#2759
(MS301 Widgets Pro Plus Ultimate 061809)
Just installed it and it give allot of options to custimize.
Just Flashed
I just flashed the new rom and I'm pretty impressed overall. It's a huge departure from what I'm use to, but I'll give it a few days to see if it grows on me.
I just rebooted as I was typing this to disable the extended rom and go into high mem mode and now it looks totally different. I think this is what I should have been seeing. Very nice! Very clean but easy to get to everything. I think I may just enjoy this.
--later--
One question though, does this rom not include office? There's an office folder under the programs icon in the laucher, but no office apps in it. I also noticed there are 26 icons in the programs section of the launcher, but there's actually 36 folders/shortcuts in ..\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. So all the programs do not seem to be listed.
The various Icons bit is something I am working on. For some reason, SPB 2.1.4 isn't recognizing the entire list but SPB 3 does. Office was not installed apparently, I thought I had selected that (since I usually do!). I have a CAB for it somewhere and will upload it once I find it. But is someone else has a CAB for WM 6.5 Office, feel free to post it for everyone to have.
Personally, I like SPB 3 stock out of the box, and it is what I am using on my personal ROM. I am trying to at least get it to cook in properly with the Start menu override as default (it can be changed easily by anyone if they don't want the start menu overridden).

After upgrading CF to 3.7, I can now run Igo 8!
How can I find out which version of CF you used.
I tried to install 3.5, but installer showed an error regarding programs that were running.
I did not find any reference to uninstall 3.5, so I went with 3.7.
TCPMP plays smoother too. Web pages load faster.
MS301, scrolls with less effort.
Checking out audio next. I think the adapter issue (I don't have this problem) has something to do with a second "Mike" ground. from what I found on a "Pin Out" page somewhere.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284512
Check it out.
And thank you everyone here for helping us make better use of our dependable units.
OOPS:
I just realized that is for the Artemis... It may be "Universal".
Memory just too low...
Well that rom is quite pretty but I had to side-step to another 23004 rom I found on PPCGeeks. My memory rarely shot above 10-12MB while using this rom. I had trouble running both Iris browser and Skyfire with nothing else running.
I look forward to trying a more optimized version. Is this rom UC compatible? I really need to learn to use UC or Sashimi if I'm going to be flashing this often. I'm sick of changing the same 10-12 settings and setting up all my email accounts. It blows to do this manually as often as I've been flashing lately. Cab installs are not a big deal to me, they are all on my SD so i just install them as I need them.

from what i know
this is the audio adapter issue
hardware...not electrical nor software
beware...some audio adapters are stereo and some additionally port the mic.
the oem adapter ports the mic...so a stereo plug seems to cause issues...
well duh
UPDATE:
I got a reply back from the dev..
I'll have a look to your request, but it seems your fingerprint unlock isn't part of the android framework though. If you have any hints or heard about any SDK, 'ill implement this

Does anybody know about a SDK for the fingerprint scanner?
Hello all!
Today I found the app "GotYa! face the thief" on XDA. I went ahead and bought the full app so I could test it (hopefully to report back to the community that it is working on the Atrix). I have good news, it works great! Even tho there is a warning about compatibly with Froyo devices, I experienced no problems in my 15min / 3pic / email test run. This is how the app works: Tell it how many times to allow an incorrect log in (if any) before the front facing camera takes a pic of the phone thief and emails it to you with the location of the phone. The email part is optional, the app itself will also alert you of a failed log in attempt once you have successfully unlocked your phone, showing you the picture(s) it took during the "breach". So basically you can even use it to see if a friend picks up your phone.
I tested the fingerprint lock. A failed finger print swipe itself does NOT count as a failed log in attempt, so keep that in mind. I have emailed the dev to ask if he can correct this, and I will update this post when I get a response from him. However, I think that is petty in comparison to the benefits of this app. Obviously any thief is going to try the pattern lock as soon as he sees his fingerprint is not unlocking your phone, and as soon as the pattern lock is failed - You have a pic of his face and location. In addition to these features there are other "SMS triggers" and such.. On the Atrix choose "EXIF rotation - 90". The app is $1.99.
So enjoy this app, I have been waiting a while for something like this and I am sure several of you have too!

@OP: Great find i just bought it!
Looks like a good app. Purchased the full version and will test out!
*update*
Very neat app. Set it up and it's working good with WidgetLocker. Gonna test it a bit more just to be on the safe side though.
I bought it, and after 5 minutes of setting up I tested. Received an email with picture and location within 1 minute of failed logon attempts. Works perfectly!
Location request SMS doesn't appear to work, but I have to check my settings for that.
Yep, looks like it works as advertised. Pretty awesome that it not only sends the location info but snaps a picture of any limey bastards that try to jack our phones!!
I almost want someone to steal mine now lol

I like it as well.... however I would like it a lot more if you could set a password to unlock the actual program on case they do somehow gain access to the phone. This app is nice!

I thought that'd be good as well. I'm just going to hide it from my app drawer.
This would be a good recommendation to the dev. Or perhaps having another way of loading the app through certain key presses or a hidden shortcut, etc.
as far as i've seen the FP scanner is closed hardware and not open to developers yet.
I just bought the app too now.
Anyone else have any issues configuring the email alerts? (I already emailed the dev about it, he will look into it.)
I've tried two different servers (both without SSL/TLS).
Both fail showing unable to connect. I ran a tcpdump from my firewall, and here are the two errors I see.

I have had no issues with receiving emails. In fact you can end up receiving too many. I was getting one every time I unlocked! LOL
Been playing with KP's 2.3.4, so haven't reinstalled it yet.

Wasn't on failed login. I got a "homescreen accessed" email every time I unlocked.
I appreciate the updates, very helpful!
Regarding too many emails, glad the thresh hold is there. But I almost thought it'd be worth it to create a security email address solely for this program. Email space is nearly infinite and I'd rather get extra emails as opposed to compromised security.
Works great though! Love this program.
If the thief has any brains all he had to do is hard wipe the phone...lol
