Oh well it shouldn't come as much of a surprise really, but it would of be nice to get something different.

Looks like the same ROM that was leaked a few days ago. This contains the same Ext ROM that I used to create the Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 T-Mobile UK ROM.
I've not yet tried upgrading the ROM on my UK Vario, but I guess now is the time to think about it. I want to keep my stored SMS and MMS messages, but everything else on the machine I'll probably clean-install and re-tweak as necessary once I get the new ROM flashed. I've got a good idea of what I do and don't want in my Vario after 5 months use, and I guess now would be a great time to get rid of all the junk that's probably clogging up the registry by now.
A couple of questions:
I know I can make a backup copy of the current ROM onto a clean SD card, but can I back it up onto a partially used card (i.e. using the file system, rather than raw data blocks).
I backup my Vario regularly using SPB Backup. Can the SPB Restore utility restore just my SMS/MMS messages (including user-created folders) without reinstalling anything else, so I can keep a nice clean machine?
The UK T-Mobile release is 2.0, whereas "Mr Clean ROM" is 2.3. I'm guessing 2.3 is better, but what am I likely to lose (if anything) that's on the T-Mobile ROM? Is the stereo bluetooth headset facility on both? I've already removed most of the obvious T-Mobile pink stuff, and put in a better dialler skin, etc. In fact, I don't really want T-Mobile's dialler skin at all, as I've been trying to get rid of their modified history & speeddial icons for ages!
Finally, what about reinstalling things like TomTom - will doing so remove my user-defined favourite place settings, etc? (my maps are stored on SD card)
Thanks for any advice, I'm a little nervous here...

^^^ Same questions and concerns for me.
Also, I flashed my T-Mobile UK MDA from original ROM to Qtek 2.17 ROM a month ago. I SIM & CID unlocked it in the process using Lokiwiz 0.2b - do I need to prep the phone with Lokiwiz 0.3 before flashing the MDA to keep it unlocked?
Cheers in advance.

Things I've noticed so far:
1)
The Comms screen has been radically changed, adding a "push" button (deactivated on my uk t-mobile vario for some reason) and another button that looks like a ppc to ppc connection.
2)
The battery icon has moved from the bottom right corner to the top right corner, on the top panel, (where the time used to be) and has turned an ugly shade of green. I presume it goes yellow -> red when on low power.
3)
In the programs, something called "SAP Settings" has been added.
It's used for remote sim access apparently.
4)
"Running Programs" is now a program and can be seen on the start menu
6)
"Comm manager is now a program that appears on the "running programs" list.
5)
When starting up, it displays the t-mobile screen followed by the WINDOWS MOBILE screen instead of just the t-mobile screen.
Finally, this could because of a cleaner registry and stuff, but it does feel somewhat more efficient.
So would the early adopters say it is better or worse than the mighty summiter/Mr Clean (Uk) versions

Right now I like the Mr Clean version better, but I only had that on for a weekend and the new one has only been on for an hour or so.
Personally after a day with it I'm tempted to go back to the qtek 2.17 rom
Hi can someone post up the MMS settings as I didn't note them down when I updated the rom - doh! UK of course.

Thats interesting.... Im using a Qtek 2.17 ROM at the moment and am considering upgrading, but Im holding back at the moment. What dont you like?
Bad news here. I've been running the Mr Clean Comes to London ROM for a few days with no problems at all and before that one of the Qtek ones and the unit never reset itself which it had ben doing with the T-Mobile ROM from the start of the year. I am happy with the performance of the new T-Mobile ROM after installing it yesterday but overnight it went back to soft resetting itself as all of my open programs were shut down this morning. Also when I turned it on the screen wasn't responding so I ended up doing another reset.
I'll leave it over the weekend but it looks like the spontaneous reset problem hasn't been resolved. Strange that T-Mobile can't fix that but all the other ROMs seem to have it licked!

Of course it could be something T-Mobile has put in that's causing it. I'm thinking Mr Clean is the way to go...

Get it here http://www.palm.com/au/support/treo750/downloads/wm6update.html
ei, were you able to download and install it? I am getting an error message:
Error message:
"update is intended to update the 750 smartphone, it is not intended to update the language"
Error message appears in the computer when running the executable file.
I'm running Windows XP SP2
Option is TRY AGAIN. Same thing happens when you click on TRY AGAIN.
My language setting is set to english. My phone is also set to english....any idea on how to resolve this issue?
I have Version TREO750-2.23-RWE, I was able to download the Telstra release using my serial number, but could only open the zip file with winrar.
When I tried updating, I get error, "This updater only works with Palm Treo 750 Smartphone"
My unit was a replacement from Palm not the original Telstra unit, so I was able to upgrade with the 2.23.
Should I try the Telstra release?
Any ideas

open with wirar and extrac cheeimg and do a mini sd upgrde
I got it to work by editing the payload.xml file, changing the high to 2.23 and the RWE to ROW as these was my version (search the forum for this method)
Now have TREO750-2.26RWE
1.54.31.00
TEL-WM6-026
CARRIER DB 392
I now have all GSM/UMTS selections
Only Telstra stuff I have found is My Place and Telstra Business.
Mine installed without any issues but I had trouble with the download initially from Palm and with unzipping it. (I also used winrar.) I have to say I'm not particularly enamoured with Palm's method of restricting users to one download per serial since I just added one digit to my original serial and it then downloaded fine. STUPID!

...and the worst looking wallpaper I've ever seen! This is what it took them so long to do???
I just updated this over the Palm Generic Three 2.23 ROM and it definitely seems slower, and still unstable unfortunately. I am getting dropped calls randomly, it looks like when a data connection starts in the middle of a call, it will drop the call mabye 50% of the time?
Currently have installed
1. Opera 8.65
2. HTC X-Button 2.0
3. Fring (Latest on webby)
4. Esmertec Java + Skype (iSkoot Java Version)
Configured Services
1. Windows Live Hotmail Push (As items arrive)
2. Exchange Activesync (As items arrive)
Phone is using a 3 simcard, on X-Series Silver. What i might do is run virgin OS with no additional third party software, and just activate push hotmail + exchange and see what happens.
Previously using the generic Palm 2.23 ROM, seemed quite alot snappier, after trying this Telstra upgrade, even though its 2.26, i cannot seem to see any differences in usage, just a noticible slowdown in speed + a few additional icons. HSDPA Connection via BT on Internet Sharing on my laptop seems slower too, may have to try that again at different locations.
Any ideas/suggestions? Maybe i need to somehow edit the NBH so less software get installed? Or somehow have a "msconfig" equivalent to disable some auto startup programs? (Please advise on this for those that know how)
Thanks guys

From my experience, 2.23 ROM and 3AU's Radio is the best combination for me so far.
all works just fine for me... im dissapointed that the rom is a down grade from the att rom as far as the wm6 build is concerned...no surprises for telstra though...

Hey mate
Would you happen to know where i can get them seperately?? Would i just flash 3AU's ROM + Radio then extract the Generic Palm's 2.23ROM NBH and flash using the SD method?
Ive been flashing by modifying the payload.xml file method.
Thanks
now, I am encountering another problem...
was able to see the first page. But when i click on Start update, it would just show me a blank screen....any help?

Flash the 2.23 ROM first then Flash the 3AU Radio only ROM. The 2.23 ROM is here and you can get the Radio ROM(152.30) and instruction here
Well, i put up with using WM5 for the couple of months, and have been eagerly looking forward to the new skinned interface.
Just as i was about to use an un-official flash, Telstra finally released their ROM. Awesomeness.
Tried flashing in Vista, no go. XP 64bit, *almost* happened twice, then it wouldnt recognise my phone. Gave up with some programs, etc, and loaded up XP 32bit.
Flashed with no issues the first time, loaded updates with no hassles, and im now burdening down the phone with all the tweaks and programs i like to put on my devices.
Does anyone know what clock speed this ROM sets your phone to ? These are supposed to be a 300MHz processor in them, but when i ran 0mapclock before, and set it to 150MHz, i saw a major increase of speed. Not sure how accurate the program was, as it never seemed to remember my clocks, but it made me wonder what it runs at stock ... going to try under this OS and see if it works any better.
Edit: BTW, i have a Treo 750
Well Ive got my mum a new Compact 4 on her Tmobile contract.
I have a few questions before i make any changes to it.
I dont want to void the warranty so sadly i cant flash it with the latest HTC firmware.
I did notice this C4 is using fairly old firmware...
Rom 1.37
Radio .03
Is this unusual? I can imagine once the phones out Tmobile wont supply anymore development for the rom updates. Or even pass on the HTC roms.
And as for Advanced config and the Diamond Toughflo config. Can they be installed on the C4 and change the touchflow background?
At the moment the phone seems to work perfectly fine. So for now the out of date rom isnt really an issue. But i would love to get rid of the pink and keep the warranty at the same time.
Touchflo config and advanced config will work fine on the compact 4, and as you're on the 1.37 rom you wont have any problems loading touchflo themes.
I don't know if there's an official t-mob 1.93 rom out (I havent seen it mentioned on here so I dont think there is). You could go for one of the custom roms but you'd need to hardspl it and you would invalidate the warranty.
I upgraded to the official orange 1.93 rom and haven't really noticed any significant improvements (a few minor things, no major speed increases etc..).
So, if it was my phone, I'd stick with the 1.37 rom and go for a custom theme
Thanks m8
Oh and where can i find Youtube app?
I didn't know t-mob removed it :O
Anyway, you can find it here:

I have WM 6.1 Pro and tomtom navigator 6. I want to ask that is there any way i can make my built-in gps search faster for the satteline beside using quickgps? thank you
What exact ROM are you using? Early WM6.1 ROMs (those ported form other devices, before the official one came) had very long times to first fix (several minutes).
The current ones have normal times of about 30 seconds.
It's WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2 19214
I dont know if it is a current one or the one was ported.How do i know? i bought it as used

Is 'it' a HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt, Vodafone v1615, O2 XDA Stellar etc? If you bought it used, the previous owner may have changed the ROM or Radio/SPL through a process known as flashing. Does it all appear the same as whats shown in your manual for the device (or if you don't have the hardcopy, what is shown on the downloadable manual from the device provider)?
Check out the XDA-wiki pages if you're new to your device, it'll answer lots of questions you may otherwise be tempted to ask here needlessly. Newer WM 6.1 versions of HTC TyTN II ROMs (including the very latest UK released World Wide English - WWE one) have terrible GPS times to get a satellite lock when compared to the original WM 6.0 ROMs so if GPS functioning is important, for the mean-time until the ROM is fixed, you may want to have it reverted to an older ROM that works faster.
I never used to have problems then I sent my phone back for repair and they updated me to WM 6.1 which was the start of my GPS problems.
Anyway I've just set the external GPS to 9600 as suggest by CHfish and hey presto back to a fast fix. Don't set anything else on the external GPS as this can really bugger up your internal GPS.
So i purchased my tilt and it came with the AT&T Win Mo 6 on it, I had a few problems with it and AT&T replaced my phone with one that has Win Mo 6.1, with the new one i am noticing some program compatibility issues and various other ANOYING glitches. Will the TyTAN II Rom from HTC's support site install on my phone with out a problem, is it better, and what are the differences between HTC's ROM and AT&T's? Also does anyone know how to speed up the screen switch time when i open and close it?
