Welcome to my personal ROM. This is my ROM for my personal device, I have included Apps and other stuff that I use in this ROM. It is also customized to my personal liking so it may not be in everyones flavour. Some things may not work simply because I don't use them (i.e Dialer has Video Call but I haven't tested it since I don't use it, the same goes for Wi-Fi)
Let me start by giving you an idea as to what my goals were with this ROM:
Stablity
Fast & Fluid
Everything working 100%
I would like to think that I have achived my goals in the current release of AthenaROM HTC Sense. Feel free to post your feedback and bug reports.
About this ROM:
I have been testing this ROM over the past couple of weeks fixing bugs as they popped up, the end result is a 100% bugfree HTC Sense ROM.
Because of the fact that our Diamonds were designed to run on WM 6.1, having WM 6.5 & HTC Sense on a Diamond will slow it down and on occasions you may run out of RAM and get a "Low Memory" warning.
GPS software will not work with HTC Sense enabled (I have found however that TomTom runs on my device with Sense enabled), there just isn't enough memory. The same goes for sending MMS messages, you will most probably get "Low Memory" warnings.
These issues are not bugs or problems relating to the ROM itself, but the fact that our Diamonds doesn't have enough RAM to run the software properly.
Installing this ROM:
My preferred method of installation is via Internal Storage, therefor I recommend doing it that way.
You will need HardSPL (I use 1.93) on your Diamond to install this ROM.
This ROM is ONLY for GSM Diamonds.
I recommend using MTTY if you experience any random Soft/Hard Resets or Phone Freezing. See this thread for details how to flash using MTTY and to download MTTY
Please read the FAQ's in the 3rd Post before posting questions. You will find most of the previously asked Questions and Answers there.
If you are for whatever reason not happy with this ROM or think that it sucks, please remember that I do not ask for DONATIONS nor will I ever ask for DONATIONS. I offer this ROM totally free to the XDA Community. This ROM is my way of saying thanks to the XDA Community.

FAQ's
Q: To use Background on all Tabs and disable the weather animation:
A: Go to Menu > Home Wallpaper > Animated Wallpaper and choose a Wallpaper from one of your Albums.
Q: I cannot scroll to the top in the Menu Enhancement
A: Go to: HKLM/Software /HTCHTCMenus/ Change "PortraitMaxItemCount" to 7 (it's the VGA value) + Soft reset. (This issue will be fixed with the next release)
Q: The ROM is slow and sluggish, what can I do?
A: You can install the Neos2007 Driver Pack (cooked into ROM from version 3 onwards), that should speed things up a bit. Also what works for me is to use SKTools to Optimize phone for Performance and running CleanRAM at Level 3 every 3 Hours. - DOWNLOAD

It may, but we have to remember that our Diamonds are at a disadvantage when it comes to RAM since they were build to run on WM 6.1.

You should check out the keyboard from pocketcm.com. It's a cool keyboard, and it comes with different themes, including "Touch" which is black.

hmm, installed, ran htc custom 1.8, tweaked very little (turned off sim contacts, moved pie cache to the sd card, turn on d-pad navigation for pie) restarted, and got the super long restart hang.
Just did the second SR, and still getting the re-boot hang
EDIT -- finally on the 4th SR I came back up ... I now turned of the PIE cache to SD card, thinking that may be my problem... all is ok at the moment.
did thanks

pocket cm and pocket keyboard are both awsome. is it just me or is this rom a lilttle on the slow side. i have been using 3.0 since release i tried 3.6 and it was great work, but it left a bad taste in my mouth on account of the slowness, this one is not as bad as 3.6 but i think a bit slower then 3.0
Keyboard lock in phone app
Hey vp3g,
great rom as usual - one question. If the phone app keyboard lock is fixed in the "official" ROM why doesn't it carry over into your ROM?
thanks
v3.0 vs 3.61?
I have read previous questions and answers comparing 3.0 to 3.6 If I am happy with v3.0 (which I am ) what is to be gained by upgrading to this newest version? Besides being able to more easily delete unwanted cab programs?
Thanks for all the great work;
Stephan Howard-Cooper
Love the new version so far, just installed it and played with it earlier. One thing that I did notice was different was the addition of the HTC Smart Dialing for WM. It makes the dialer seem a bit quicker, and it adds some good features. I think you might of left that bit of info out of the original post, vp3g. I saw no references to this addition.
As always, it works great.. no hangs on SR's. Keep up the good work

Not fixed in the "official" 3.61, AFAIK...
I just noticed I dont have a midlet manager.. I installed the "full" version also, and nothing appears in my Programs dir. Downloading a .jar/.jad file does not start up any java engine either. Are you sure its cooked in?
Is there a way to install it without another HR?

Well, that's technically an added benefit to having been able to use Sleuth's newly updated PTTFix for WM6 (which is referenced, btw). Previously I had to cook PTT completely out of the ROM, which killed the Smart Dialing because it's all wired together. With this release PTT is cooked, then negated by PTTFix. Which is why if you want PTT support you just simply remove PTTFix (and also why PTT_Reassign.cab and PTT_Enable.cab shouldn't be installed on this version).
End result is that I didn't know how to explain the foregoing concisely in the OP.

Thank you!!
Can you explain the use of the 8 button comm manager in this one, versus the 9 button one in v3.61?
Thanks vp. i was lookin for almost a day now . lol. Will test immediately and report back.
-Nstefanelli-
i am going to try this.. i did not use your rom for quite some time.. now i want to try it once again..
Gopu
I'm in Thailand and just CANNOT download from rapidshare without paying. Would someone be so kind to upload this to another site so I can download and test it? Thanks in advance.
And thank you Vp3G for another release.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Two reasons:
1) It seems AT&T added a button (not even sure which one) within the last release or two. Only button missing now compared to the 9-button is Beam, which I very rarely use anyway. I also like the red outline when they're selected.
2) There are lots of comm managers available and it seems each person has his preference.
I'll make the 9-button available in the Add-Ons for those who prefer it.
Mirrors...
Will add a non-RapidShare mirror soon. I much prefer this to be a "controlled" BETA so to anyone else tempted to mirror, please kindly refrain.
EDIT: Mirror added. Thanks chamelion!

I finally got the file to download. Will load it up here in a few.
I like the "beam" button in the comm manager. Makes it easier to turn beam on/off.
Only problem I see with the current 3.61 is that when I click on the data icon on the top of the screen, I get the option to "Turn on WI-FI". This works fine. Once WIFI is ON and I click on the wifi icon on top it still says "Turn on WI-FI" instead of "Turn off WI-FI" and clicking it does nothing.

I myself have been a big fan of your Rom's since I came over to XDA looking for WM6 several months ago.. I have decided to upgrade to the Tilt for the internal GPS thats available.. I travel a lot for work and was on the verge of buying a BT GPS next week if the Tilt wasn't released...
I too would like to see you dissect the ATT Tilt ROM and make it worthy when you have time, until then I will have to deal with the ATT bloatware and wasted space..
I will be selling my 8525 sometime next week and I would like to put the official ATT ROM on the device for the buyer because they may want all the other stuff on it that I don't require or use, can you point me in the right direction to download the official ROM?? Thanks!

Maybe if/when AT&T quits playing around with the Hermes ROM! LOL
I'm quite surprised they're putting so much effort into a phone whose successor is already shipping...

This is the newest ROM available for at&t users. It also has the most recent official radio rom. Good luck.

Must be SuperCID or have Hard-SPL to install. Answer to your radio question is in post #1.
I'm going to be running mine with the 1.48 radio for a bit before making the switch to 1.54. Curious how battery life will compare to v3.61.
how do i check if my phone is superCid
Personal Customization
vp3G,
I am loving that you are constantly enhancing your ROMs and I love the quality. Curious though... I spend an hour or two to get my speed dial, My Text phrase settings (for e-mails and txt), cursor speed, other settings, etc. up and running after each ROM update. Is there any sort of export/import or way to back up these items?
Thanks again for all your great work!
Thought id try something a little diferent with my latest 6.5 build. It comes in two versions using different today plugins. one being the standard titanium plugin you'll be familiar with and the other being point ui's home 2.
Special thanks to josh for his kitchen tools and valuble help and ivanmmj for porting his lzx compression tools for use on the hermes making the home 2 plugin a more useable as an altertative to m2d
anyways now ive said my thanks down to buisness

Home 2.0 - sweetest yet... man you have really blown it off the chart. I am thinking this is gonna be my new favorite. So far I haven't found a bug. I will mention that I had to flash the stripped ROM before I could flash yours. I am missing the calculator, would really like to see one with stat functions and basic algebra stuff, but even a 4 function would be welcome if it is skinned consistently.
Excellent work I'll keep you updated on my tour.
Flash complete.
Sync with Vista - complete. Napster download - good.
WIFI Scan & Connect -good.
Bluetooth a. iniate/deactivate from cp - good. b. initiate/deactivate from comm mngr - good. c. Connect to BT Headset - good. Stereo Quality - good.
Waking up. Turning on the device takes kinda longer than I'm used to.
Didn't notice a MMS app or device update (although CRC's shows in the remove programs applet).
Will look more tomorrow... so far .... Awesome!

Hi!
I have just installed the home ROM, as I'm looking for a fast and stable Manila2D alternative. Here's my first, quick opinion (as compared to Manila2D)
Pros (as compared with M2D):
+ Looks cooool, works VERY fast and smooth even though free memory usually is below 10MB.
+ On today screen you see all today's and tomorrow's appointments
+ There is a Task-applet
+ Home2 won't kill itself all the time
Cons
- Home2 (free edition) isn't sufficiently customizable. I.e. you can't add own cities to the world applet. Berlin isn't even included in the city list, so it's of no use for a german user.
- Free memory is too low to start some programs (i.e. YouTube). No easy way to exit Home2 to free up memory, though.
Will check for more later
Christina
Alsoloaded the home edition and love the gui, but have had a couple of issues coming out of s2u2 and gui not loading, needing to hard reset.
could you leave S2U2 out of the next release or at least having the option of uninstalling it if not required.
Other than that and the high memory usage i think its great, far nicer than Manilla and no other issues at present.
Keep up the good work
Love the Titanium and would prefer with S2U2. Too bad it freeze upon installing Arcsoft MMS v5. The NetWiz isn't stable, sometimes it didn't configure MMS well in the messaging drop-down. The MMS will go missing after a few MMS attemp. Do you have any idea where I went wrong.
And still I couldn't fine any suitable 3G dialer that can work with the Titanium.

I was considering adding s2u2 into my next titanium edition. Thought id start off with somthing quite basic and build on it based on the feedback i get. Youll definately see it in my next release.
As for arcsoft mms v5 ive read about people having alot problems in 6.5. I dont tend to use mms myself but decided to add it as its a feature that can be quite handy. Ill experiment more with it when building my next release and see if i can get it working to a worthwhile standard
Caution (beta time bomb)
Hi
Like the ROM very much, but there's a bit of a partystopper included: The ROM will lock itself on a certain date. Don't know exactly when, but it's some day before July 28th. I've changed the date to +4 months (to check whether a certain program has a trial period or not) and the phone was instantly and irreversibly locked: Everything was down, phone, WLAN, OS, USB. Hard resets wouldn't help, Activesync wouldn't connect. Nothing but this message on the screen:
"This concludes the beta test of this software release. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers...."
You have to reflash (via SD-card) to get the phone running again. This seems to be a common "feature" of many Beta-WM versions, as used in this ROM (i.e. read here about this too). Will have to find another ROM that won't expire...

If you do include it, could you make the option of uninstalling as I find it uses a lot of memory and when theres not a lot already its nice to save where possible.
The default screen lock is quite good on these new versions, especial;ly with your background wallpaper.
Look forward to trying your next1

Hmm...identical problem and once it gets there, there's nothing to do but re-flash, very frustrating!
Added:
HTC Task Manager (works, big buttons)
HTC Enlarged Start Menu (added, working)

Opal Dialpad (non-3G) with the slide to answer
HTC Menu Enhancement [finger menu type of thing]
REMOVED:
FdcSoft Task Manager
Total Commander
EasyMenu
VoIP
What's Changed:
Replaced the welcomehead.96 of spocky's rom to the default stock WM6.1 one.
OOBE broken again
SD Autorun broken again
Even newer version of Esmertec Jbed
What's coming soon:
MSN Messenger fix - i knew about it a bit too late
Beta versions with KisS20.5 will be out soon. I lost my cable, so I have no way of testing anything whatsoever. Any errors please report here! I am getting my cable soon!
why dont u get to wm6.5??
that's better right?
yup, i agree to a certain extent.
however wm6.5, in my opinion, uses up a lot of battery.
I keep having to recharge my device, so I thought, why not create a ROM with WM6.1 with several HTC stuff to make it more finger-friendly for easier operation?
wow thaat is great. this there malinia 2d?
nope, did not integrate but i can point you in a direction if you want it.

Hi!
I've just flashed my phone with this ROM
seems kinda cool but:
-as you mentioned SDAutorun crashes
-there's no bluetooth in wireless manager, I have to go through START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->BT and only then if I turn it on it is present in wireless manager.
-more free ram after installing the .cab file from the "KiSS20 improvement thread "
-I like the changes you made. so cheers and keep up the good work!
I'll try to give more feedback after a day of using ks with it.

I think the programs you're running are using a lot of CPU, which results in the phone getting hotter (+ the battery running out faster).
Mine doesn't quite heat up that badly.
Come on people... try!
Don't let this make me sound desperate
i try it....but frankly speaking the manila2d isnt good choice...better to install it by my self rather than built in in your room...so i downgrade it again to spooky rooms...
but i took some of htc app you mention it above

SORRY FOLKS BUT AS MY DIAMOND HAS DIED AND I'M UPGRADING SHORTLY I'LL BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS ROM. MORE INFO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6115263&postcount=205
Thanks to the following
Evirus – for the visual Kitchen
l3v5y – for the Kitchen and base rom (and for help and advice.)
the_scotsman – for giving me the bug (lol) and for help and advice
Badwolve1 – for help and advice
Amarullz – for themes, and all the hard work modding Sense and loads of other Apps so we can use them.
awran5 – for kitchen help and packages
The point of the forums is to help others and share our work. The above are positive examples to all.
POINTS TO NOTE!!!!
This is a test rom using 6.5.X so I can see how well Sense actually runs and how much free RAM I can get.
I’ll try to respond to posts as soon as I can but with working full time and having 5 kids, my ‘XDA TIME’ is a little limited.
I’ll apologise now for slow responses and I promise I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I can
I’m not aiming to release new builds every day; I’ll try to bug fix in batches.
I’ve put this together for my personal use so I’ve removed just about everything from the rom.
Please don’t ask me to ‘add this’ or ‘add that’. Everything people are likely to want is available in cab form with a bit of looking.
I STRONGLY ADVISE MITTY AND HARD RESET WHEN FLASHING

2012 B1
PLEASE NOTE SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE INITIAL SETUP OF THIS ROM. PLEASE SKIP THE SETUP OPTIONS WHERE THE ROM ASKS YOU TO SET DATE AND TIME / PIN. SET THEM ONCE THE ROM HAS FINISHED SECOND BOOT.
EMAIL ISSUE FIX
Go the following Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]
Change the following value from:
"Read"="\\Windows\\HTC_read_note.htm"
TO:
"Read"="\\Windows\\read_note.htm"
change Compose to:
"Compose" = \\Windows\compose_note.htm"
Internet sharing link in Start Menu not working (removed the software but the link won't go!!)
Sounds & Display issue in manila settings
problem can be fixed... do this:
1. Go to the settings tab in Sense, and press the "Menu" button at bottom right of screen, then choose "All settings" (this opens the Windows Mobile 6.5 Settings folder)
2. Open the Sounds & Notifications control panel, switch to the "Notifications" tab, and hit "OK".
Now you'll find the Sounds & Display option in Sense works fine.
sense sometimes does not boot on soft reset. go to settings, disable sensethen soft reset and re-enable sense.
sms does not work via sense. use all messages to use the windows sms.
reigional settings messed up (will look at this asap)

Welcome chef, I'll try your ROM this week.

no rush, i'm still working on it. all feedback is most welcome
This ROM looks really nice, and if I was going to cook something I'd have also tried l3v5y's base ROM and Manila 2.5.
Flashed and will try it over the next few days.
Two little (minor) problems:
- Found it hard to set the date to 24 January 2010. It wouldn't "stick" the first few times I tried. Eventually it "stuck" when I first changed it to 23 January 2010, and then moved forward one day
- The connection wizard thing assumed I'm on T-Mobile (not, on Virgin Mobile), but since I think they use the same network, its probably not an issue - but other ROMs have offered me the choice of Virgin Mobile.
Other than that, it looks beautiful, and its all working OK, and I've synced with my Exchange Server, Facebook etc.
Thanks!

no probs, thanks for the feedback. i've never had that issue cos the date and time syncs through device centre on my pc.. have you tried that?
i'm uploading a slightly ammended version that gives more free ram. the look and feel is the same but it might not be to everyones taste.
No settings
Has anyone noticed that the settings icon doesn't come up in the start menu and therefore you can't change the settings? This is a seroius problem and needs to be fixed!

i'm averaging the 26 without issue. but remember your applications don't close with the 'X' so you will need to shut them down mannually using the task manager or the Ram will drop..
to give you an idea went out the other day for a drive about 60 mins of tomtom use plus music, didn't use all the ram.

the fix for the settings button is attached to the second post and discussed in post 9
re the sounds
if you go to the settings tab on manilla, menu> all settings go to sounds and notifications through the windows menu this fixes the bug for future use through the manila settings

The Sounds & Display problem can be fixed... do this:
1. Go to the settings tab in Sense, and press the "Menu" button at bottom right of screen, then choose "All settings" (this opens the Windows Mobile 6.5 Settings folder - so answers your second question)
2. Open the Sounds & Notifications control panel, switch to the "Notifications" tab, and hit "OK".
Now you'll find the Sounds & Display option in Sense works fine.
You only need to do this once.

I'm in favour of this. Getting Windows Mobile 6.5 and Manila 2.5 to work together on our Diamonds is always going to be about compromise. I'd rather lose a few seldom used features in order to gain more RAM.

XT9 predictive text
Hi,
This is a fantastic ROM. just enough RAM free to make it quite usable.
Maybe add something like Ramsweeper as a 1 click option to close all those programs we forget to exit properly...
I'm having problems with the XT9 predictive text. It just doesn't seem to work at all - as if there's a crossed mapping somewhere in the works. Anyone else see this? Hit a and A pops up above, but in the predictive area it's z, q comes up as a, t - k, s - c. other letters such as all of the bottom row don't bring up anything.
Any ideas?
Cheers again for the great ROM.
