To explain i am a newb to this sort of thing and i need some advice after reading horror stories about people trying to change there roms from the original.
I am here because i have been directed here by a work mate who has his o2 handset and i asked him if it would be possible to remove some locked applications from my handset.
So basicly i will bow to the superior knowledge (and grammer) of the people here, is there a way (possibly even by modding a orange rom) to remove locked apps from the phone and if so how and where do i get the files to do this and what do i do with them when i have them?
Or if there is another resolution to my main problem please let me know!
The voice speed dialer keeps popping up every 20-30 seconds when i play windows media player. It only does it rarely but it is annoying me and i dont use the application anyway so i could just get rid of it and free up memory on my handset but a resolution to this problem would be just fine.
I will owe a huge favour to anyone who can help me sort this out.
You have 2 choices here find a cooked rom and use it or look for the settting for the voice dialer in the rom that you are in-- try setting... should be somewhere around there.... do a search for that feature in the forum... if you are still lost... pm me with a screenshot and I will try and help you better
Hi people,
I come from the other side of the fence "Palm"
I just upgraded to the X7510, sweet piece of hardware and beautiful 5" display
So i'm very familiar in the Palm Treo world on customizing my own ROMs.
After reading & searching A LOT in here and other PPC forums, i still have a few utilities i can't seem to find.
So i read there is also a BootLoader screen in the PPC world, very typical of the HTC devices, makes custom ROMing very simple.
However, i still haven't come across the name of the applications you guys use to Dump (backup) the current ROM, and the Upload the new ROM into the device.
Or it seems like the only way is via ActiveSync 4.5 ?
Another doubt i have is about the Unlocked part.
My device is straight from HTC unlocked, does it mean it is fully SIM and CID unlocked, or it's only SIM unlocked?
By that i want to figure out if i need to run the CID unlock before doing the Custom ROMs etc.
And last but not least...
I'd like to contribute with the 7510 ROM original dump, seems like the Wiki doesn't have it yet,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Upgrades
so i'll probably need the same whatever tool you guys use, as asked in my first question, to backup the old ROM.
which will also help us fill the empty space in the Wiki left for the very same question
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
"How to dump the ROM"
Thanks
Cheers!
well... since i got no response from anybody
Thanks to myself

found the tool i was looking for to build my own rom.
and to top it off i finally found the ROM backup topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
now beats me on the mobile 6 subsection, and something that is totally on another area for another phone... oh well...
Good on you allgamer for taking a lead here. Some of us have been pushing for a separate 7510 forum under the Athena section. Without that we 7510 owners are continuously looking for "needles in haystacks".
cktlcmd and eaglesteve have been burning the 7510 candle for us. With your input we'll get this device on the map yet.
Hey i also just got a x7510, and id love see a x7510 rom!
hell yeah, you can say that again.... it was so hard to find anything, some times stuff like this the Search engine did not pick it up
like the rom dump, on another phone, i understand it is all PPC, but still it might have been different for some models
at least that was true in the Palm world, so i guess in the PPC world we'll have it easy, since it looks like all models dump appears to be the same.
as for the utility, never would have guessed it would have been found mentioned within a thread about something completely different.
anyways, now that i know, i'll be writing more about it, once i start working on it.

well, i don't mind sharing my custom ROMs, once i start cooking them.
but don't expect too much since, what i usually like to do is simply clean up all the junk that i don't need
then replace them with Freebies, or registered software, which if that is the case, i wont be able to share it here.
x7510 owners - forward march!
Something several of us are keen to see is a work around to make RealVGA work with Spb Mobile Shell. AllGamer, you mentioned in a post under "SPB Mobile Shell incompatible with Real VGA 96 dpi on the X7510" that you got a solution posted elsewhere working. Can you share with us how you did that?
Also, my devise is definately not running as smooth and quick as I would like it (or expect it to given its processor). As a prelude to getting some cooking going (and I'm not a chef) could we start to identify some tweaks that will make the stock ROM more efficient? For example I always ramp up the siz of cache etc. via MemMaid but to be honest I'm never sure whether it does any good or not.
Hi robjhellis,
Are you saying the performance in x7510 is not as smooth as it should be ? Can you please tell during what operations ie. Video etc it becomes sluggish.That would be a good place to start with.
Thanks,
Srini
Just guess, but i think that is the so much talked about behaviour of the video drivers issue on all HTC products
Videos are great no lag (well when i play them in coreplayer full screen, with specs up full). Only one "problem" lol...the audio is exactly -0.512milli seconds behind (when you hear it). So stupid tried all kinds of videos same result lol so thankfully coreplayer has an option were you just put "-0.512" in and ill kinda sync up the audio.. windows media player is pretty much pointless to play video now since you can't put -512 anywhere and the audio lags big time.
the audio in general is really bad, put on real expensive headphones and you can hear ssshhhhh hissss - the background noise.
Note: i was so shocked/surprised that i did a hard reset thinking maybe its something that i might of installed, but nope problem still there

Hi Guys, my issue isn't playing video - I haven't got to that stage yet on my 7510. Rather its just slow moving around menus, reloading after a soft reset, opening programs etc. I can sometimes count up to 3 and even 5 after selecting a tab before the tab appears e.g. Settings-System. I've also now started to see the start icon in the top left corner not redraw after a soft reset. There is much more lag than I see on my TyTN which, of course, is running a custom ROM

I will suggest to check in the ATHENA WM6 section the thread how to speed sogarth base rom....
Basically install netCF3.5 , FDCsoft Taskmanager 3.1 and start changing how/stopping started services and applications (There are many lauchxx keys in the registry to change to avoid self application startup)

By any chance, do you know how to exlude Biotouch from starting list? It is not started from startup links, or at least not directly. I was browsing the regs also, but could not find anything. I use FTouchSL and UL for cube effect on Today screan, so Biotuch seems to be useless.
Also, do you now what a wt5portm or something like that is for ?

Can you be specific where to change this setting on Core Player?
its in advance - > near the bottom "manual A/V offset +/-"
but it still dosn't work...anyone got a solution plz....i don't know what to do the audio is always out of sync for any video..
I've found the same lag on audio and it is SO annoying! Nothing seems to fix it!!
I've created a quick "how-to" on dumping the x7510 ROM, which may be found here: http://htcathena.freeforums.org/dumping-your-x7510-s-rom-t6.html#p7
I will follow up with a "how-to" on re-constructing the ROM (unless somebody else feels inclined to do so instead). [Edit - found this how-to] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
However, we still need HardSPL or similar. CMONEX told me she and Olipro are working on an unlocker with that functionality, so we'll need to wait a tad! Once we have that we can start cooking some ROM's.
anyone here that is very familiar with the advanced config tool v3.3 that can guide me to the best set up for performance? many thanks in advance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=456
Well...best performance really depends on what you'd like to do with your phone. If by best performance you mean things like faster loading/bootup etc you can do that using the 'splash screen' option under advanced config. Check out the 'performance' key as well. Spend some time playing with the application.....it's pretty easy to understand and operate...giving you great control over what you'd like to accomplish using your device. If you have some specific requests...let me know.
honestly, i'd just try everything that seems to be performence related until i found out what's best for me.
it's highly individual.
one issue I would like to see resolved through advanced config is this......if i have a program running like google maps or any other internet intense program and my phone rings it takes FOREVER for it to acknowledge when i push the answer button. any idea why this is or how to fix it?
Hmm....I guess that's like default phone functionality. What device are you using? For better performace all around....you might wanna consider flashing a cooked rom onto your device. Pick one that's relatively clean...and with some luck....your phone will probably run faster that way.
Hello guys, as you probably see I'm new at this forums, there's only one reason I joined and is because I own the BLU STUDIO X5 (S390U) since while ago.
I noticed that this phone has built-in somewhat thing of malware on the system APKs of it. What do I mean? Don't matter how many times you do a clean, use anti-malware apps, hard-reset, even flashing to a new stock ROM or a CROM made from the original one: The problem is going to persist.
So... Tell us, which would be the solution? Well I was analysing all the possibilities, even evolving a CROM of it, however this infection it seems to be part of other APKs components, as it is visible through Anti-MalwareBytes, that Settings.APK is corrupted with it.
The solution it seems to be easy but it could be complex, even knowing that other APKs could be infected but are not listed on the scanns: Erasing Settings.APK and try to replace it with a non-infected one, but this is complex as I said.
Before I continue I need to explain what this infection does: After you use the smartphone for first time (counting resets, flashes, etc.) the smartphone is just good, even if your not using internet.
After sometime you will notice some new apps installed on your smartphone, what this infection does is to install them under what it could be called a "Silence mode", PlayStore is not needed to download such apps, either a Web Browser.
But, hey, this doesn't sound bad as it just sounds annoying lad... Aye, this sounds as if the problem is only something redundantly annoying, but not is only that, this malware is found as a Hijack and doesn't sound bad too, however, if someone with enough knowledge knows how to manage a Hijack it can even steal info from your smartphone.
But probably you're thinking, well you can fix it not allowing Unknown Sources APKs to install on it, well...
This is what it takes me to the second point of it: This malware changes the settings of your smartphone whatever the times it wants by itself, don't matter which app you use to not allow this change by itself, it is going to do it anyway.
But why? It seems that the infection has Root Access, what this mean is that it has a higher level access (is running under an Administrator mode).
And we're back again to the solution, you'll think: Maybe if I root it and replace the Settings.APK is going to be fixed, well is not that easy, apart of wasting your time, the smartphone can be even more vulnerable and unstable.
The best solution that is going to work and that's why I posted this here:
To fix this the Stock ROM must be re-built from zero. I'd do this on my own, the problem is that I'm not an advanced user, and I still learning programming and coding at my degree, every help with this would be flawlessly.
PS: THIS DOESN'T FIX THE HISSING/STATIC ISSUE.
#IF IT WORKS FOR ME IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT'LL WORK FOR YOU! I'M JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE & I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE OR YOU PERSONALLY.
So basically what's going on is as if someone is pausing & playing really fast every now and then something like a hiccup action whether in music, videos and even games.
One might think this is just a hardware problem or even an SDcard problem, but trust me it's not, well not entirely.
I've been busting my ass off trying to find a solution for the past couple of weeks and you won't believe how easy it is to actually fix the damn thing.
First of all: if you're not familiar with what I'm talking about or you simply don't face the problem, then PLEASE DON'T MIND ME & SIMPLY MOVE ON.
Alright what you need to do is simply two things:
1- UNINSTALL MUSICFX USING "System app remover" or whatever's similar.
2- YOU GONNA WANNA INCREASE "Min CPU Frequency" to 1036 MHz (more or less) but that was the sweet spot for me. So for that i just simply gone with FrancoKernel's app, but you can try out different apps too, i believe KernelAdiutor might just do the trick.
3- Reboot.
And BAM! no more inconvenience listening to music or watching movies.
now I'm on AEX rom w/ Franco'sKernel, Xposed, 200+ apps & a 128GB SDcard and everything seems to be working great as it supposed to. 'FingersCrossed xD'
I've had this for a while now on notifications, did you have that as well? I'd get a notification and it would stutter/clip as you said, did this solution fix it?
very extreme and partial "solution"
this will create more problems (specially with battery)
