Nightraven:

First, thanks for the GREAT work on this. Fantastic!

Second, I don't know if you want to experiment with this, but I wonder of the new IE (with Flash) would work well with the boosted pagepool? MS minimum specs (in this case, 500 mhz processor) are really only guidelines, and what with XCPUSCALAR at 520 mhz and boosted pagepool...??? Maybe it would work well now.

It's worth a shot, if you've a mind to check it out.

After a couple of days running with pagepool at 8MB I find the "feel" to be quite snappy instead of near-horrendously slow. What a fantastic change! Better, even, than WM5 with PocketPlus running (I think).

I don't know if I am "wasting" 4 MB by running at 8MB instead of 5MB, but I figured that Spb PocketPlus is such a resource hog that I'd go right to 8MB. I am ready to add in the new IE now, I think. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipfone:
the link to the cab file is posted a page back if you'd like to try it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
That cab is for Pocket IE. He is looking for Internet Explorer Mobile 6.

Update: I am building a cab file for Internet Explorer Mobile 6.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
Ive been meaning to ask:

Has anyone else got a problem opening MS Pocket Excel? Mine won't open, just an endless "hourglass." Word, and PowerPoint work just fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Mine opens. It loads in less than 1 second.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
Thanks.

Rats, that means a lengthy process to troubleshoot it. :eek: I'll need to re-build the whole thing one step at a time until I find out what is breaking it.

I hate it when this happens.

edit: hmmm.. the process is running, but the program never opens. Just when I wanted to use it, too. Ah, well...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sigsays:
How's your version coming along?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I was unable to create a working cab file to install Internet Explorer Mobile 6 (It's really version 8.12.), So I cooked it into the Alltel rom. I'll be testing it in a few minutes. Changing the PagePool size of the emulator speed it up considerably, and it's actually usable now. Hopefully the same will be true on the 700wx.

Update: I have the rom built. I set the PagePool to 8mb. The rom is still fast. Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is slower then PIE, but that is to be expected. It's actually a full browser. I'm pretty happy with the speed.

The roms are uploading now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Warning: Internet Explorer Mobile 6 uses a lot of memory. If you don't need or want the new browser, load Release 1.1.

Alltel/Bell/Telus - Release 1.2 Build 20931

Verizon - Release 1.2 Build 20931

Sprint - Release 1.2 Build 20931

CE OS 5.2.20924 (Build 20931.1.5.0)

Release 1.1 with the following changes

Added Internet Explorer Mobile 6, and Adobe FlashLite 3.0 for full web browsing. (Uses a lot of memory!)

Change PagePool size from 4Mb to 8Mb to better support IEMO6.

If you don't want the new browser, stay on Release 1.1. I only created this because a few people were asking for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sigsays:
Thanks for all that you do NightRaven.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] superkoolaid:
Thanks Nightraven, i am testing your roms, i have a 700wx from iusacell (Mexico carrier).

Here is the dump file from my phone if someone needs to restore the iusacell oem rom wm5: iusacell_dump.rar

Regards

PD: Nice work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
Since you are trying to keep this as close to OEM as possible, is this more in line with the Treo 800w or the Treo Pro (850)?

Doesnt the Treo Pro use WM6.1 SMS and not Palm Threaded SMS?

M$'s SMS might run better now with the pagepool higher.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
That might be true, are there any advantages to using the M$ version? I like the Palm app better, personally.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Thank NightRaven for the new browser. I don't mind a little bit slower for more functionality. The ROM is plenty fast with the larger PagePool.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Good point on whuch SMS to use...I like the treo one too but with things like Mobile Shell the icon for SMS will not work unless the M$ one is used...

Is it easy to explain how to remove the treo SMS and make the M$ one the default? I've done some cooking now and don't mind trying it but don't know what was changed...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
While I as well prefer the Palm SMS, M$'s SMS is more integrated with the OS... and some tools like Spb Mobile Shell expect to see M$'s SMS.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
SPB Mobile Shell does well with Palm's SMS.

Did you ever get your white screen fixed?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
UPDATE: After rebuilding, I found MS Pocket Excel to work great at first, but fails as soon as i install MemMaid.

Drat!

Anyone else??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
Mobile Shell works but the SMS icon never lights up. I think i saw somewhere that Mobile Shell is looking for M$ SMS binary instead of Palm.

If the SMS icon works for you then i must have gotten too happy with the mouse when building my ROM.

My screen doesnt turn white anymore but now just freezes and spontaneously reboots. I cant imagine ActiveSuck doing that?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
It works for you with the Palm SMS? Whenever I press the SMS counter on the "Now" screen nothing happens...

This occurs whether I use Nightraven's or I cook my own...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
Both of you were right.. I do have the same symptoms..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
NightRaven,

You may want to add the these registry entries into your next build of the Release ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I'm trying to take out the messagingapp.exe stuff to try the M$ SMS again but I'm not finding all the parts to make this work...any help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Remove all of the Palm folders under the OEM folder in the kitchen. That will remove Palm Threaded SMS, and re-enable Texts in Messaging. You will loose MMS, and will have to install Arcsoft or something similar.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DavesChillaxin:
I was wondering if you'd be able to get me a WM5 or WM6 ROM for the 700wx? This would be for verizon, not alltel, unless that'd work on my device. Quite new to this.

I'm not having to much luck with the 6.1, lags my phone to much and freezing daily..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
Look at the 1st post to get WM6 Rom for Verizon. or why not just install the official WM6 ROM from Verizon at palm.com?

Dont know why you have lag issues? the latest ROMs have been painfully fast. although i do get daily freezes which i havent figured out why yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Ok...good to know...I'm not using Mobile Shell right now so no biggie but it's good to know how to do it...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nahcyrag:
I am sad to report. My Treo 700wx died on me last night while I was doing the 1.2 update. Now, it won't charge or turn on anymore. Anyone has idea on how to fix it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Did your battery run dead during the flash? If so, you will have to charge it in another phone, or the cradle if you have one. Then you can reflash your phone. If you don't have a cradle or another phone to charge it in, take your battery to your carrier's store and have them "test" the battery. That will force them to charge it a bit. That should be enough to flash the phone and finish charging your battery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
I'm wondering is it possible to build a ROM with both versions of PIE installed? I love the new PIE, but also sometimes don't need the features of it so it would also be nice to also have the older PIE. If I flash to build 1.2 & then install the older version via a CAB file, would that work, would it just prohibit it since I already have a newer version installed, or would it just overlay my newer version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
You cannot have both versions installed at the same time that I know of. It replaces several registry settings, as well as iexploer.exe. Switching back and forth would be very difficult.

PRL

My name is Matt Cohen. I'm a Sergeant First Class in the US Army. We are doing a project to help warfighters. We are testing a qualcomm base station. We are going to deploy this base station on a C-130 airplane. This will provide EVDO data down to the warfighter on the ground. This will alow them to pull real time situational awareness. This will save Soldiers lives! We are really motivated about this project. We are having trouble getting devices to put on our system. All the device makers produce devices branded specific to the carriers. We have talked to sprint and verizon but they don't really know what to say because no one has asked for anything like this before. They don't want us to be able to unlock their devices. it has been allot of politics because there isn't a model where they can make money! I had a verizon Palm 700wx. I found this forum to figure out how to unlock this device. You guys are doing very cool stuff! I upgraded this device to windows mobile 6.1. Great work on the ROM. The problem that I still face is trying to change the PRL to add this device to our private network. I would like to make our network the home network for the device. Does anyone know how to change the PRL to the channel to our private network? Any help will be great! Remember we are trying to save Soldiers lives. If anyone has ideas for use to get our hands on EVDO devices please let me know. We will even take donated devices. Once again thanks everyone!

respectfully,

SFC Cohen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
As far as I know, the only way to change the PRL on the 700wx is through OTA (Over The Air) provisioning. To change what network it's on, you can update the HomeSID and HomeNID by dialing ##000000# on a Verizon or Alltel 700wx. For Sprint you will have to find the number for each phone, it's based on the esn. I know there is an app to find it, but I don't remember what it's called.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] m4f1050:
The APP's name is GETSPC do a search and you will find the download, it runs on the phone, but who programmed it didn't make it read the ESN off the phone, allowing you to run it on another phone and entering many numbers, so you can line up the phones with battery out and do a mass pull of the numbers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
Status report:

I've been running 1.1/1.2 for about 10 days now with a pagepool size of 8MB. Performance is no longer an issue with the larger pagepool (nice!).

Of course, the newer Internet Explorer runs a bit slower than the older version, but with better capability.

Also, Excel does not work once MemMaid is installed.

Other than those two annoyances, one of which (ie) is my choice of features vs. performance, fantastic!!

I am running a Sprint 700WX with the resource-intensive Spb PocketPlus, Spb Weather and Spb Diary all running and still the device has a very snappy feel to it.

Outstanding work, eBag33 and NightRaven!!

BTW: Does anyone know how to move storage for the new ie (cache, etc.) to the storage card? This can chew up main memory very quickly.

edit: Also, I could not restore properly from a Sprite Backup from a previous-to-1.1 backup. Not a huge disastor, merely inconvenient. It thinks it's a different version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nestlesnipes:
Help!!!!

Hey guys I downloaded everything just fine and I thought I created the ROM fine the install went well but now when i cut my 700wx Sprint phone on it starts loading stops about a quarter of the way and just vibrates. Can anyone assist and explain what steps I missed?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
How long did you wait? The first boot-up can be extra long.

Otherwise, simply re-download the ROM and try it again on the off-chance you have a bad load.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mlarma:
I am very happy with the latest version of this ROM - GREAT JOB!

However, does anyone know of a call filter that works with it? I need to be able to route things right to voicemail or reject the calls. Never had issues with ebag's testing 5 of 6.0, but 6.1 has never worked for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] firetitan:
works on alltel great job

i was just letting everyone know that everything works on alltel rom 6.1 even mms and sms. GREAT WORK!!!!

DONT BUY PDANET the wm6.1 works with dun connection if alltel customers know that you would have to pay for pdanet or teathering plan wm 6.1 works without these options mms works alwsome to that for all the hard work and waiting on next program keep up rhe good work. :) and i enjoy the new internet explorer is there anyway to get flash player to work on treo without youtube play or coreplayer or does internet explorer still not support this function?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The new internet explorer does support flash. However, it chews a lot of memory. So flash videos will work while others will not. It just depends on how big they are.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] scrubed:
When updating the rom how long does it stay in the checking SD card screen? I'm going on 10 minutes on that screen.

edit: Problem fixed. It didn't like my 8gig SdCard. Dropped down to the 2gig and it took.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the.teejster:
I've been using Nightraven's Alltel/Bell/Telus - Release 1.1 Build 20931 ROM since he released it and I must say that I absolutely love it !!

Up until just recently I had no performance issues whatsoever !! This ROM is simply the best as far as I'm concerned.

The "only" performance issue I stumbled upon (because I never use the feature) is the video recording feature. Regardless of the quality / size settings of the video, the resulting file is extremely choppy and pretty much useless.

(After searching this thread it appears as though this was reported in POST #1018 and 1035 as well)

I don't really care because I never use the option but was wondering if there maybe a registry setting that was overlooked that may resolve this issue ? I know the stock rom records video w/o any issues.

Doesn't matter either way to me as I'm sticking with this one ROM but curious to know if this is something that is easily fixable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westronics:
Any way to move this memory use (I assume temp files) to the SD Card?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gunterm:
Actually rather than just using DUN, use the internet sharing app, it works great.

Has anyone figured out a way to back up your phone's settings before flashing a new ROM? The reason I don't upgrade very often is because I hate setting up all the e-mail over and over again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] firetitan:
on the flash i just cant look at youtube video its says that i might have type the wrong tititle or page not found and also i use a 8g sd card and sd works flawslessly thanks for the help maybe i dont have video playback set right.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gunterm:
Youtube does work, you must select desktop viewing so that you aren't sent to the youtube mobile page. It's not really all that good though, the video is jerky and you can't zoom out far enough to see it, but there are other cool things flash does that work well on this phone, like radio.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] reesenva:
Great update

I have a 700w and this update worked perfectly. Do Hard reset first. Then follow directions.:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Try Sprite Backup.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TrendyPick:
Thanks again

Just another thank you post to Night Raven and anyone that helps with this project. I am loading 1.1 now and anxiously await any performance boost that can provide. Any chance that 8MB pagefile will be available without a slower ie upgrade?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
You can use the 1.0 release and change the pagefile size using the utility.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
You won't get much of any additional speed improvements & you will be loosing precious memory / storage space in the device. I would not recommend it. That is why NightRaven chose 4MB instead of 8MB.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I would recommend using 1.1 and changing the pagepool size using the forementioned utility.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kyusaku:
Jumped on the 1.2 version from 1.0 and performance is wow. To be honest PIE ran slower for me in 1.0 than it does in 1.2 so I'm fine with it, and I like the changes to the browser. The performance change for me is a big difference, great work NightRaven.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gunterm:
I went ahead and bought Sprite backup, treo 700wx devices get a discounted upgrade price of $10.

The new one is soooo much faster in every way, I held off flashing because I didn't have a way to backup and mine is about 1-2 months old. PIE 6 is great, and everything is way faster. It might have a little further to go for speed, but I'm happy right now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TrendyPick:
The 1.1 is perfect... I was hating the phone since I upgraded... it was nice looking, but it was very slow. Phone calls would fail. Now with 1.1 it is awesome. I can even run winterface and receive a phone call. Thanks guys. I will feel bad when I finally upgrade to something new...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kenny782:
nice work on this, just loaded 1.2 over my stock firmware.

Much faster :) I'm running a Sprint 700WX

One question, I can't get the Palm Threaded SMS cab to load.

It gets about halfway and I get:

"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

Thanks,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kenny782:
After two more hard reset it installed so nevermind.

Thanks,

Kenny :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
The ROM already includes Palm Threaded SMS (its been in there since the Beta 16 version). That's why it won't let you install it. I'm not sure how you got it to install, but it'll invariably cause you problems. But if its working for you, more power to you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] allivant:
just installed 1.1 for my 700wx and i love it. one thing is the search box on the today screen is gone. is there a way to get this back?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Captain_Throwback:
If you press the right soft key menu, there should be an option checked to "Hide Lookup Field" under "Preferences". If you un-check it, the search field should return. However, just fyi, if you start typing a name or number from the Today screen, even if the Lookup field is hidden, it should appear.

Unless you were looking for the Web Search plugin, which can simply be enabled by going to Start-Settings-Today, and choosing "Web Search" from the list of options.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xxdesmus:
I'm sure I'm just being paranoid (and asking stupid questions), but has anyone with a Verizon Treo 700WX upgraded to the Verizon - Release 1.1 Build 20931 yet? Does this release include the threaded SMS app already integrated or will I need to install that after the fact? Also, do you have any suggestions where I can find the stock WinMo 5 Rom for the Treo 700WX in case something goes wrong and I need to re-flash back to stock?

Thanks for answering my paranoid questions. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
It seems that the majority of the posters here are running verizon. You can backup your existing windows mobile 5.0 rom using a utility called GrabIt (grab_it_64_143.exe). If you need to flash back to WM5, just rename dump.bin to napaboth.nb0, and flash. The latest version of Palm's Threaded SMS has been included in the rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xxdesmus:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Format your SD as fat32. Copy the alltel stock rom file (napaboth.nb0) to your sd card. Remove the battery from your phone. Unplug the power cord. Insert the battery while holding the up volume button on the side of your phone. Follow the on-screen prompts. Once it starts loading, plug in your power cord.

Well it was a dumb problem. I couldnt' get the system to recognize the ROM. So I backtracked my steps and realized when i formatted the SD card it had switched from FAT32 to FAT. Which is why it couldn't see it.
