ATHENA/Ameo unlocker (cid-unlocker)  :
 from DUTTYTROY: Ok, the Unlocker is released, sorry it's so big but there's nothing I can do about that I'm afraid, that's just the way it is.
Those of you who are already unlocked should complete step 1 regardless... step 2 and 3 are optional (but if you do 2, you MUST do 3)
it's a pretty simple 3-step process and it's all explained, remember to keep your Athena connected at all times until you have fully completed all the steps.
So anyway...
Click here to download!

Please note: you must have .net Framework 2.0 installed with the services packs, if you don't it then it probably won't run till you download it.

SPECIAL INFO ABOUT STEP 2: When you run this step, first your device will be flashed; this is NOT the end of Step 2, you must then configure your device and set it up fully so you can access the menus etc (there will be a prompt to ask you to do this after the flash anyway). then you will be able to continue. please make sure to read ALL dialogs fully.

Tips/Updates (by ltxda):

- Save As enhancement. Go to Settings, System, select File Dialog Changer and check "Exchange Standard File Dialog". This changes out the standard Save As window and provides an enhancement where you can choose any folder/subfolder on your device and navigate the structure when trying to save files from any source.
- Battery/Memory indicators at top of screen. Each bar is started by its own file in the Startup folder. The "qwertyMemory.lnk" file runs the Memory indicator and can be disabled by deleting or moving this file out of the StartUp folder. The "dciBattery.lnk" file runs the Battery indicator which is the top bar and can be disabled by deleting or moving this file out of the StartUp folder.
- FingerTouch Keyboard: By default keyboard option 5 is selected. If you prefer QWERTY go into the input options and change the default keyboard layout
.
- Messenger Mobile: The issues previously reported by other users and noticed by myself seems to have been "fixed". The MSN network sucks BUT Messenger Mobile seems to be dealing with connection drops and synching of contacts better than in previous versions/releases.
- Today Screen: All/default plugs have been deactivated. Just go to Settings, Personal, Today and go to the Items tab to reactivate what you want.
- Reminders: I'm annoyed by the constant reminder notifications after the initial notice. To disable this annoyance go to Settings, Personal, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications tab, select Reminders from the drop down and uncheck "Repeat". Not sure if this bothers anyone else but it really annoyed me and I've seen a couple of posts asking how to disable this.
- wkTask: Two nice features...of course they are in the manual...to get back to Today screen from any program....click-hold the area where the X typically is and drag left. This takes you right back to the Today screen. To minimize the current app, click-hold the X area and drag down. Very useful little program that has replaced Magic Button for me. Also allows per app control. Thanks Hirad for the recommendation! Also, This resides in the area where the X typically sits to close programs, etc. Start wkTask from Programs, click and hold the "X" area and go into preferences for wkTask. Make sure it's set to autostart by going to Startup tab and clicking the corresponding button. This is a great task manager.
- Vijay555's VJCandela aka Flashlight: It's been reported on other threads that prolonged activation of the flash light LED may cause it to burn out so use at your own risk. I have used it without problems. Comes in very handy. Also great for blinding your enemies before an attack! ;-p
- To get the look show above for htc home, please install htc home customizer and select alien ice clock, iphone-alt icons, transparent background, and stardock weather icons.
- HTC Home customizer that is in the addons has a problem where once u install it it'll look to download the cab for htc home but errors out with error "Plugin Not Found. Plugin was not installed. Please report this error." We included in the addons the cab for htchome found on emunutz's site. please install this cab first then start up the customizer.
- (added 10/29/07) to change default layout of teksoft's fingertouch please so to start/settings/input and click on options. change defaultkb to the option u usually use(1 for me).
- Action Screen if started in landscape after any reset/power off then on will not start. switch to portrait and then back to landscape and all will be ok.
- TCPMP starts in portrait and is used in portrait but after closing with X will make the phone go back to landscape. i use this as a oppertunity to activate action screen so it'll work in landscape.
- from looking quickly at the xml the sprint aka quicklauncher today plugin can be customized with new icons and new links. i believe u can also add to it via the xml.
- customizer for the ftouchflo can be found in system folder within programs. it is also recommended to put a shortcut into startup so ftouchflo is on always.
- wktask is missing the skins and will display a error message first time u start it. this was done because the default skin looks better and it mkes a few files less in rom.

To Upgrade (by ltxda):

- You agree that you do so at your own risk with absolutely no liability resting with xda-developers nor the maker of this fine ROM! And to be 100% clear, if you screw up your device it's YOUR FAULT. If you don't agree don't touch. ;-)
- Unlock phone using OliPro's unlocker or hardspl. This is needed even if ur phone is sim unlocked. the rom needs a cid unlocked device. cid unlocking is reached using olipro's hardspl or the unlocker.
- Install ROM...
- Done!
- Enjoy and report any bugs.\

FIXES or Patches for this ROM :

- Battery problem solution : the problem to battery is the Btio sofware for bluetooth this sofware drains battery very fast. disabling i will solve the problem. To do that u can delete the shortcut from windows/ startup and also u can exit the sofware from try icon. 

 

- Menu sound solution :  use resco registry to import this registry: http://www.student.ru.nl/s.m.andishmand/fix_menu_sound.CAB

 

- kaiser 10 button Comm Manager: for VGA (best look in 96 Dpi):http://www.student.ru.nl/s.m.andishmand/PK2_10B_CommManVGA.cab

 

- WMP problem : solved in 128 realVGA nd 96 realVGA dpi mode, Install the CAB file an then restart Windows media player. Install the cab after changing d[i resolution: Download the CAb here WMP solution

 

- Battery problem : in PK 2.0 is that it is drained very very fast and there is a solution for that : download this CAb file and install it   but if this doesnot help then it is the fault of the radio version. try the CAB file for battery problems. and if it doesnot help to anyone then install another radio version then 1.50 install 1.47 or 1.45 and it will then solve the problem. the difference between radio version 1.47 and 1.45 is that 1.45 gives better GSM signal and 1.47 gives a better 3G signal. It will only change the radio version and the battery problem will disappear and you will get a normal functional battery.in this ROM its radio vresion is 1.50 which gives a drainage problems and therefore downgrading to another radio rom solves the battery problem 100 % so here ar ethe download links for RADIO roms::

Radio version 1.45:

WM6 ROMS for Athena/Ameo :
Now when u are done with unlocking now is the time to make the device WM6 !! and give it some horse power !! There are 4 versions of the WM6 ROMS. After u have unlcoked u can use the upgrade procedures but i reccomand that u us eunlock first because that will be the safes t way to upgrade your device. U can check here if your device is locked or unlocked (IMei Check) : http://www.imei-check.co.uk/athenaunlock.php

ROM ver 2.20 This can be used with the athena_upgrade package on non CID-unlocked devices, but beware this can be risky and can only be fixed if you have a ROM meant for your phone (T-mobile DE are ok, UK not).for use with the athena_upgrade program.

flasher for SuperCID devices only  ------------- 2nd one ...Dopod 1000 flasher for super cid devices note you have to have your cid unlocked to do thisworks only for supercid devices.

HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc  ----------------   for HTC devices HTC Advantage (X7500)works with CID HTC__001 and SuperCid.

 T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc   ---- T-MOBILE Ameo devices works with CID T-MOB005 and SuperCid.no need to CID unlock if you already with T-Mobile as the right files are in the T-Mobile 005 upgrade rom.. make sure you use the right one though.

Very smooth process - as easy as the XDA Exec!
 
Mirror for these ROMS:
 
http://uploaded.de/?id=j2pv51 - ROM ver 2.20
http://uploaded.de/?id=0v9mm1 - flasher for SuperCID devices only
http://uploaded.de/?id=430xr4 - HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc
http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u - T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc

Experiences of other people on how they did the upgrade to WM6 ROM :
1. I have just finished flashing, because I needed to charge my device fully before starting.
My device was CID unlocked already so I used the flasher, with the usual scarry moments The device hang at 0% and remained on white screen showing "loading" but previous experience taught me to remove the mini sd, and it returned to bootloader rainbow screen showing serial.
Connected again to pc and restarted the utility without further problems.
Thanks Tupisdin and all hard-working developers out there. We really have a headstart on the providers
 
2. for Dopod U1000
-First use the Imei Check (just in case)
-Run ATHE_WM6_X7500_flasher (Windows XP!, I tried with vista and get some errors)
Thats it! Finally WM6 for the rest of us!!
Thanks to tupisdin to share his knowledge!!
3. I can also confirm that I have successfully flashed my HTC Advantage (X7500) using the files found in post #35:
Athena - HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc
The PDA is running well and all my programs seem to work properly except for Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. I have tried the patches mentioned for other WM6 devices but they don't work quite right.
 
4. I have a HTC X7500 Advantage which is not tied to any operator and the upgrade went flawlessly. And since it is not tied to an operator, I did not have to use IMEI unlock. I used the third download in the list and it worked great. Thanks a lot!
HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc
 
5. GPS, Video call, WiFi and phone work perfectly
 
6. settinggs for navigation system (TOM TOM)
settings for the GPS are 4800 baud and COM4
I selected Other GPS NMEA
It works perfectly
