Palm Treo 750 Windows Mobile Upgrade? - Palm Treo 750 ROM Development

Hi All,
First let me apologize if this question was asked before.
I am new to playing around with my AT&T Palm Treo. I bought it last fall, and hated the operating system on it (Windows Mobile 5.1). I tried adding some fixes, but it is still very clunky. While searching the forums, I saw that Palm had a Windows updater to version 6, but it is no longer available at Palm's website.
So, some questions now:
1) Does anyone have a copy of the "official" updater: Treo750_2_25_ATT_EN_DesktopUpdater.exe Would you be able to share it with me?
2) I have a two year contract with AT&T (don't ask me). If I want to update my Palm, do I need to unlock it? Would it create any issues for me? Where do I find the files?
Thanks for all the help.

Here it is and other

Thanks a lot!

Problem with Xda_IIi_Upgrade_v111169 ?

Hi all,
I've just downloaded the latest ROM BIOS upgrade for my XDA2i (Xda_IIi_Upgrade_v111169) at the UK's O2 website which includes some Blueberry things I believe - but haven't checked yet. :?:
I think I may have found a small glitch if anyone can help. :?
The glitch is in Windows Media Player 10, as setup by a clean reinstall.
When I click on WMP10, it does not display a 'file open' option.
The 'file open' icon is 'greyed out' and only the icon which connects to Windows Media.com on the Internet works.
As usual I can double click on some media files (eg wmf, AVI) in File Explorer and have them open in WMP10 as expected, - but I wonder does anyone have a fix so I can make it work by opening files in WMP10 in the normal way?
Although I don't use WMP10 a lot, and prefer others, I would like to get it going because I believe it is cludgy or difficult to remove.
But I may be wrong....What do others think ?
Thanks
Open MP10
Goto (from Main Screen)
Menu/Library/Menu/Open File
Works for me
Whahey!!
Works great.
Thanks. Much appreciated!
Does it work when I use in different region (Asia)?
Hi all,
I'd like also to upgrade this rom v1.11.169 from O2 UK.
Does it work when I use in different region (Asia)?
Many thanks

HI Clickhari
I'm not an expert so my reply may not be accurate!
I rang up O2 and asked whether my XDA would work in Asian countries, and they said yes. (after ensuring my contract gave me access to international calls)
I asked whether it would still work with the upgrade, they said yes.
More than that I don't know. My approach would be backup everything, and then be able to install whichever works there.
If that's not what you meant, then maybe someone else can help.
wat is the improvement they provided inside this new ROM? i live in singapore, can somebody tell me is this can be use in asia?
Hi andriangunawan
:idea: On the UK website http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html
(quote
The latest XDA IIi System Software is available for you to download.
New and changed in this version of software, v1.11.169 are:
BlackBerry Connect v2.0
This software is for Xda IIi in UK and Ireland.
German customers should visit: www.o2xda.de
Asia customers should visit: www.SeeO2.com
for ROM upgrades for those countries.
I don't use Blackberry but I took some screen dumps of the Blackberry setting if it helps. They are attached.
More than that I can't really say.

Hi!
I have down load this ROM and update to my PPC. But the Radio was v1.00.00 instead of my old version is v1.00.3. Finally I back to old vertion.
The new 02 upgrade only seems to have the Blackberry upgrade? Does anyone know if it contains any further fixes and if it does how can I upgrade the Radio portion to1.03, like the previous cooked 02 ROM?
Thanks
Found one answer, not possible to update to v1.03 radio, doesn't seem to work with new 02 ROM, I wonder if that is why 02 did not update radio themselves?

Deep Fish?

Anybody trying to install Deepfish on WM5 3.5 Xplode R4? I am trying and it is hanging forever.
Also Windows Live is not working? Any ideas?
I am looking at this forum for an year now and all my questions were answered before. Sorry if these are already answered.
Thanks guys for all the hard work. I have enjoyed my SX66 so far and all credit goes to XDA experts.
Bhavya
no prblem
for me Deepfish installs with no problem and even windows Live works fine in R4
no prblem
sorry my post got repeated
Deep Fish needs to be activated in order to work
Deep Fish Download
Does anyone have a copy of Deep Fish that I can download and try for myself. If so can you please upload it on a P2P. Thanks in advance.
even if you have a copy of the cab you will be not able to use it because you need to activate it over internet
Thanks
Thanks everybody,
Looks like I had 2 issues with my Deepfish.
1. When I copied to SX66 using windows explorer from vista, the cab file got corrupted and only 9KB file was created. That was causing the hang.
2. Is what Xplode said. Even after installing it it needed activation code which has expired (one is already posted on this forums). They won't distribute any more of them.
So best option is to wait till beta which would be more general publicly available.

Palm O.S. Treo 650 to Tilt: SMS threaded text transfer?

So I'm going from a Palm O.S. Treo 650 to Tilt & I have alot of SMS threaded text messages that I want to transfer. I have no idea how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ps. I'm no wiz at this stuff, so basic & step by step is super appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help, guys.
Really, I am not sure, but have you tried to export to the SIM via Treo? And them maybe import from SIM to Tilt?
wow thats a good question.. im not sure how you would do that, i know nothing about the Palm OS structure... i can tell you that the palm app for ppc stores all the messages in the windows directory called "PalmMsgV001" .... if the palm os uses the same file then you could possibly copy it from the palm to the tilt. Not sure if that will work but thats about as much help as i can offer for this problem.
Well, I tried something....
I took the Palm's SMS log (SMS Messages2.pdb) and moved it to the TILT. I then renamed the Palm file to "PalmMsgV001" and tried opening SMS on the TILT. Needless to say, that didn't work.
I don't know?? Maybe there is something out there.
Right now I am sending a copy of the "PalmMsgV001" from my phone to the desktop and I am going to look at the file structure. I viewed the Palm's, so now I will view the Tilt's and see how much different they are.......
You guys rock! Thanks for the help. Let us know if you guys find a solution...
Anyone...?
Any ideas
I am also interested in making this work. Has anyone come up with a solution?
Hi, e'rybody.
So far, the Tilt is a piece of work. in the positive sense of the phrase.
Not that I've exactly done much with it. I was about to figure out how to transfer Contacts from the Treo 650 to the Tilt, but if anybody can just tell me before I go a-searching, that would be awesome.
I'd be EXTREMELY interested if anyone figures out the text-thread transfer quandary; I haven't even used texting on my Tilt yet, and I wonder: does it actually support text-threading? ...like the Treo? I don't see why it wouldn't. That was def one of the best features of the Treo for me.
I guess it all just depends on which formats the two devices use, and whether or not we can convert Treo's to Tilt's.
If anyone figures it out, we'd all be grateful if you came back here to clue us in, and I'll definitely do the same!!
G'luck!!!!!!

Help, Pocket e-sword squeeze mostly in 2009 ROMs

Please help, why pocket e-sword menu for book, chapter, and verse are squeeze in mostly new ROMs dated 2009.
This program was work perfectly in earlier ROM.
Any solution?
Same issue
I've had this same issue with the shrunk toolbar icons and misalignment of some of the controls. I'm not sure what the solution is.
One more
I've been using pocket e-sword since ages (dell x50v, Hermes, Kaiser, Raphael) and this is the first phone which has trouble displaying it. Actually my original 1.90.405.1 Raphael ROM did show it correctly, the trouble came with the official 5.05.401.1 upgrade in February.
I can confirm that EnergyROM 2.0 41609 also suffers, though e-sword was one of the first things I tried on it :-(
Maybe we should also bug Rick Meyers to try to see the cause of the problem. Hopefully all new WM phones, not just HTCs will be effected, so the pressure might increase. He upgraded the program when the new VGA PDAs came out.... The best Bible program in my opinion!
I sent him this bug report:
[greetings...] This February I upgraded my VGA WM6.1 HTC Touch Pro to a new ROM version, and e-sword appears garbled. As I've been searching for a solution to this problem I'm starting to realize the amount of people being effected, anybody with a newer HTC phone: VGA, WVGA alike :-( While we are trying to find a solution, I can imagine it might be a very little change in your program which could fix the problem... Maybe not...
The icons shrunk to quarter size, forms squeezed to half width (I'd gladly send screenshots, let me know if they would help). I'm still trying to use the program, but it's almost impossible. Maybe there's an easy fix. I'd guess it has to do with the screen metrics the OS reports to e-sword and the way e-sword then uses these values. People also think it could be related to .Net 3.5, but even if I force my PDA to use 2.0 it doesn't seem to fix. [greetings...]

hi Guys,
I've tried bugging Rick for a few months now and have had no reply. I think he's been busy with the E-Sword NET project

I submitted the problem twice through the website with no reply. Sounds like he's got to be well aware of it by now.
I've got some commercial software that works ok, but it just doesn't function as well. Also, there aren't as many commentaries available.
I've been looking around for a solution to this problem as well. I have a Sprint Touch Pro; it works when I use the original ROM that came on the device, but on any other ROM from any kitchen that I've tried (including WM 6.5) this problem exists where the program seems to think it is on a QVGA device,. I've gone through the registry looking for the possibility that something has the wrong resolution encoded there, but I've not been successful.
There is a config file for the Pocket e-Sword itself; perhaps on VGA devices it sets a value in this file (for those cases where it works)? I'd rather not go back to the stock ROM at this point, so perhaps someone else can look at this file (\Program Files\Pocket e-Sword\Pocket e-Sword.config) to see if there is anything related to resolution there when it is displaying correctly?
I've emailed Rick Myers through their web site also, and like the others I've heard nothing unfortunately so far.
Confirmed
I can also confirm this on elite RC3 ROM for the Fuze.
Thanks for bringing this up, Im running the NRG Rom which is great but having the same issue. Esword working properly would make make the Fuze the best phone I have ever had.

I have an old backup of my memory card from the time pesw used to work. I cannot see any resolution setting in here.

I have an older version that was on a memory card i bought. As I do not believe in god(s) u r welcome to it.

I agree, the config file is just for storing personal settings. What we need is a response from RM. I've sent bug reports in the past and never had replies, which is a shame!
I'm glad someone mentioned that forcing .net 2 doesn't help I was about to try that!
Here are the ROMs I've tried that e-s has these problems with:
Official HTC Touch Pro Updated ROM
Elite ROM RC4
Shep's ROM 21222
Shep's ROM 21232
I haven't found a modern ROM that works as yet but if I do I'll let everyone know.
If only Pocket e-Sword were an open source project!

I also am annoyed that Pocket e-Sword is not an open source project. GRR..... I am another long term user of the program that can't now use it since I have a Raphael. My wife has the same problem as she now has a Diamond.
If anyone would like to contact Rick Myers directly, whois gladly provided his contact information, including a phone number. Who knows, it might work!

e-word display problem
Hello,
I wanted to communicate you only briefly, that i contacted Rick and he work on the problem with the display.
Bye,
Tom
Great new to hear Rick is working on the problem.
Hopefully we get as well an update for the pocket e-Sword (the desktop version just launched a new version recently)
A new version has been released!
It solves almost all problems, the only thing left (at least on my Raphael) is that the bible text is WAY too large, even with the smallest font size selected. I've contacted Rick about it, hopefully he'll come up with something.

Pocket e-Sword for Windows Mobile 6 (VGA only) (v3.1.0) 4,452kb
Updated 06-22-09
Not tested it yet as I'm at work on a Mac but hopefully all is well now!
Thanks Rick! (If you're reading this?)
Update: Having now tested it on my Touch Pro running WM6.5, I can confirm that everything that was teeny tiny, is now as it should be - top marks! That said, the text size is abnormally large... hopefully Rick gets wind of this bug and fixes soon otherwise people will be reading over my shoulder on the train - maybe that's not such a bad thing!?
New version works on Touch Pro2
Hi all
I am using the new (VGA) version on my Touch Pro2 and it seems to work well. A couple of times it's not been able to open the bible and other resources but a soft reset solves this.

[Q] WM 6.5 on HTC HD7

Is there any way to install windows mobile 6.5 on HTC HD7?
WP7 has not many classic windows features and is not realy windows like as we used many years ago. As I read, incoming updates will not contain basic windows components and it is wasting time to waiting updates.
Would be great if is possible to install WM 6.5 on HD7 so it will be realy power Pocket PC.
NO
First post and you ask for wm 6.5 that is has been discused on other thread
try search button and you will find your answer.
Buy an HD2, not an HD7.

If you wanna change ur device on mine I have an HD2... wanna trade?!
What is this answers like NO and BUY some other models. If you haven't answer than you don't posting like this.
If I knew that WP7 is not avdanced continuation (as expected) of WM 6.5 I didn't buy this phone altought has great thechnical specifications.
I read this forums and I saw I'm not alone affected by this problem.
I am familiar with pocket PC and using it many years ago. Now I have not file explorer, bluetooth file transfer, task manager, cannot create folder, download files from internet and save where you want. There are no software tool for digital compass even it is exist in technical specifications.
I just ask for solution without these limitations.

And when did MS say that any of these features were gonna be available in wp7???
yet another person who didn't do his homework, then doesn't understand when he gets flamed for it...
Unfortunately there isn't a solution. IMO i think the features you require will become available via apps before anybody ports wm6.5 over.
How come you didn't research the phone before buying may I ask? It's been well known since long before release throughout the XDA community that WP7 is definately not a continuation of WM6.5, i'm surprised you didn't know.
