sprint tv does not work but mobitv does very well and if you can find a trial verison all you have to do it keep erasing the vars file everytime it times out and it is active again!

thanks ebag for your quick response are you working with 6.1 yet?

also which of the 2 wm6 roms do not have carrier specific software, really mean which does not contain verison stuff?

does the trimmed rom run faster or the same as the full one?

fyi for everyone the pie 6.1 file I posted supports less common java than the current wm6 version does. I removed it because of that but it does run better, just sucks tough.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ebag333:
I plan on playing with some 6.1 stuff. I may or may not be able to add files depending on what exactly Verizon's done with the ROM (as there's a lot of Palm integration tweaks I don't want to lose).

Not noticably.

Unlike WM5 where there was a

huge

difference between a custom ROM and stock, there's not much of a difference between a custom and stock WM6 ROM. I suspect that WM6 is pushing the hardware limits quite a bit more than WM5, where-as WM5 was just over the line (so to speak).

What do you mean it supports less common java?

It may be missing some of the supporting files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rellthag:
i have no idea what im doing wrong. my evdo doesnt reconnect anymore even when im back to wm5. i think i messed something up when i flashed it. like i said this is my very first phone flash, any suggestions?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rellthag:
by the way i have the alltel 700wx if that makes any difference.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ianandamy:
when I used it it would not onpen java pages that the orginal ie wm6 would so I switched back however I though it was faster but the java thing blew it for me .

we are supposed to get a flash lite updrage to ie and some further java add ons the year so hope thats true.

might be getting a 800w though since they are going to be very cheap.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rellthag:
anybody know what i should do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nickdollahz:
Nightraven is aware of this problem the only way to fix it is to soft reset. i recommend going back to the original wm5 if you need Evdo.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ianandamy:
tryed the wm6 full rom ebags it would not run smoothly it would lock up and freeze too much then I tested his trimmed rom and it is very smooth smoother than the verison one. it has everything I need. the trimmed rom is like a factory wm5 rom is after install.

I would use it as it seems to be the most stable to date.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rellthag:
i agree. i tryed them both out and the trimmed was perfect. the full didnt lockup on me but it wasnt as smooth and fast.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] barrowbl:
is it possible to use Ebags ROM on an Alltel treo?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rellthag:
yes u can. i have the alltel treo. nightraven, how is the rom coming?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I'm having trouble porting the XIP. I am still working on it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] q_ware:
thx a lot, I'm on 3 (3G) network in HK, it seems to be always showing the 'roaming' icon, any idea?

thx :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ebag333:
Look at the thread on TreoCentral.com.

Towards the end I wrote up a guide on how to fix it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ianandamy:
het ebag on youfull rom testing 2 rom is it like the trimmed rom with the bt updates and the other things you mentioned, or like the full rom that locked up all the time?

if so can you add those things to the trimmed version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] captblaze:
i wont speak for ebag, but after loading the latest rom it is like the full rom only much more stable and it does include the 6.1 goodies mentioned
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rellthag:
is there anything i cn do to help out nightraven?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
A kitchen allows you to dump a rom, provide a place to make changes to the rom, and a way to rebuild it with your changes in place. The process is not very complicated and there are several tutorials on this site, that can explain the general steps required. The tutorials are usually device specific, but the steps are very similar. After a little bit of trial and error, you'll be cooking your own custom roms.

I open a new MMS from the menu and then attach a pic (from SD or device) and send it. It shows that its trying to send it but it only goes to 10%. it stops and then it sends me the error msg. When you goto the msg it says there was a network failure. Ive tried sending to myself, At&t, another sprint customer and it wouldnt leave my phone.

Thanks for the reply Mungo888!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Please check the following settings. Open SMS and go to Menu/Option/Advanced tab. Make sure "Manual" is selected, and then hit the edit button. Make sure "Email Center Number" is 6245, and "MMS URL" is http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms

I know this is stupid, but make sure you have MMS enabled on your sprint account.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fltech:
Loaded up the Verizon release and all seems pretty good. (Got to remember a couple of soft resets after loading). Texting seems to work good, no lock ups on syncing with exchange over the internet yet. Only issue (and it also was with the OEM 6.0 Verizon ROM) is if your phone is syncing with the exchange server and a call comes in it goes to missed call. (actually seems sluggish when syncing...)

Otherwise great version and thanks to all the hard work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cydephx:
Thanks for the help! I checked and all the settings are correct, even the registry stuff. I called sprint to see if mms was enabled on my account and it is. They reset my data and I am still getting the msg. The rep called me back and said there is problem with the picture msging in Chicago right now and to try again later. Ill check it out and report back.

thanks again for all the help!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
I'm having a weird issue with my SMS.

I cannot send SMS to people on TMobile and even one person on Alltel said my messages were all coming across as "The contents of this message cannot be displayed."

I'm on Alltel WM6 Rom.

Ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The alltel WM6 rom is just alltel branded. It's still using the verizon oem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
Are you using the Release ROM? I had this problem on Sprint with a previous ROM when it was using the previous SYS. It went away & everything is working great in the Release ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
IT sounds like he is on the WM6.0 rom. I am updating the link for the Alltel WM6.0 rom. This update includes the Alltel OEM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
Well I might as well go to the latest 6.1 now instead of flashing to this new Alltel OEM WM6 right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
Also when you say Alltel OEM what does that mean? Sorry I'm not up to date on all the lingo.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
So I just flashed to WM6.1 the latest build and the stupid themes don't work right. I don't undertand. The theme that was applied when I first upgraded was "Zen" the top bar is not showing up as a glossy bar but an old flat black bar.

I changed the theme to the stock green theme and the little box that looks like this is there

Ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
i found that block with all the themes. sometimes it just goes away.

kinda annoying.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
Oh yeah?

Hopefully it goes away.

Just from some basic tests I think the WM6 ROM was faster than the latest WM6.1

Also what's the best way to kil AS from starting and draining battery life? Still the exchange trick?

I was going to use the RC mod to fix the caps lock /num lock button but unfortunately it doesn't work well with square screens.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anonimac:
I get the same thing...and i always ran 6.0 with the smallest font size. I wonder if it's just some registry setting.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anonimac:
So i just flashed so i'll post the few little bugs i've found (some may not be bugs at all, just what i'm observing)...

1. I can't change to the smallest font for system font. Smallest and next to smallest are both the same size.

2. Phone definitely seems very sluggish compared to stock 6.0...are there any other tweaks i should make besides the ones already included?

3. The little square from 6.0 continues to be soooooo annoying in 6.1

4. Perhaps this is desired behavior i can't seem to get used to it and wish it was different...today screen left softkey displays both SMS and Messages...for some reason i liked it a lot better as just a direct Messages button.

5. I have to admit, i miss those envelopes in the top bar when an email or text (or some other event) arrives...any way to bring that back?

Those are just initial impressions, i'll post more as i interact more with it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I can address 4 and 5:

4) The reason there is both an SMS and Messaging option on left softkey is because Nightraven was able to port a newer Treo threaded messaging program and it has a different target file name (that's my impression at least)...if having two options bugs you that much there is a registry setting that will delete the "SMS" option...problem is you would lose the ability to jump to the SMS portion of messaging...

5) I still get an envelope for email and I don't get the SMS icon either...I believe this is because of the different threaded SMS program...due to being a different target location it might not link to the SMS icon correctly...

Now that Nightraven has released a 6.1 ROM kitchen we have a lot more control over making changes we want for ourselves...we just need to take the time to learn how to do it...if you don't like how sluggish it is you can "trim the fat" so to speak which is one reason I think Ebag's 6.0 ROM is quicker...he got rid of some of the "unneeded" stuff...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anonimac:
Sounds like this one has something to with Local Machine\Control Panel\Stylus\96DPI\FontArray

If i set bottom number to 600 then it's too small, but it won't accept 650 so i'm not sure what to do. Just throwing my findings out there in case it points to a fix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] the.teejster:
I think NightRaven already explained this elsewhere and not sure if there is a solution or not.

Apparently it's related to the gradient. In WM5 the gradient is horizontal but in WM6 the Gradient is vertical. That's why it looks the way it does.

I'm trusting it's a limitation otherwise it would have been fixed by now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
It mean that rom has the alltel specific files and settings. Not just the logos, but everything specific to alltel, including the carrier specific dll files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
This cannot be fixed. The gradient is hard coded into the dll file.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The Zen theme is supposed to have a flat black top bar. That is how palm designed that theme. I pulled it from the treo pro rom. The themes are working correctly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
1.) The second smallest font setting is missing in this build. There may be a registry settings to fix this somewhere.

2.) I have found 6.1 to be only slightly slower than 6.0. However, I am only running a few custom applications. How much slower is it without your apps installed?

3.) Again, this is a problem with the gradient that is hard coded into the dll. It was designed for wm5. That is why it looks that way in 6.0 and 6.1.

4.) SMS is a different application than messaging. The reason for the two entries in the soft button, is to allow quicker access to both messaging and sms. If you don't like the way it's setup, you can change it by building your own custom rom. The kitchen is provided in the first post.

5.) Palm Threaded SMS does not provide a text message notification icon. Without that functionality in Palm's application, it will never show. The new email notification icon is stills shows in the top bar when you get a new email. I choose to include Palm's Threaded SMS because it works so much better than the default text messaging in 6.1. The default text messaging app in 6.1 is extremely slow. That is why Palm decided to include there own in 6.1. I am trying to keep the rom a close to Palm's as possible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
I have spent a considerable amount of time on the fonts.

To change the font or select the font:

The MS registry key listing:

ING Change font, it allows you to import and change some of the font settings:

Lessons that I have learned.

System Font doesn't get affected if < 900

Menu Font >= 800

PopUp >= 700

OOM >= 800

If you import different fonts, you'll have to play around with the different settings.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
I cannot take speed of the the latest WM6.1 build.

I'll be going to the Alltel OEM WM6 tomorrow.

The WM6.1 is unbearably slow even with nothing loaded on. Everything seems to lag :(

The prior non-OEM WM6 for Alltel was MUCH quicker. Hopefully the OEM Alltel WM6 will allow me to send SMS to T-Mobile. I really don't care about MMS right now. I've lived without them for so long anyways.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
What tweaks or apps did u install? I have also disabled the Car Speaker crap and disabled the Voice Command stuff.

MMS isn't the only difference.. Outlook has many additional features i.e. like built in searching, press H. If you don't have it synced with anything it may not matter.

I have found out that the reason for my lag was related to the # of ghey applications I have installed.

I am still looking for a way to adjust the priority of applications. WM applications can be adjusted from 0 - 100. Adjusting the priorities of things like phone.exe / cprog.exe would provide value.

Active Stink chews up plenty of processing power!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anonimac:
FusionZ06, i couldn't agree with you more...i'm on Verizon. However, i don't think this has anything to do with NightRaven's work so the last thing this is is a criticism of the work he's done. My performance is SOOOO bad that i can't believe this would be a ROM he would have made to perform as mine does, nor would be as praised as it is. That said, i have NO idea what is going on with mine. The performance is the way it is with or without apps, right after the initial load and a few soft resets. And the only apps i run are like Google Maps and SPB Plus...nothing extravagant or "home cooked". Any thought on what i could have done wrong? I mean it's not exactly complicated, format card, put file there, power off/on per instructions, and wait! (ok, and soft reset a lot) Thoughts?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] anonimac:
Been doing some more reading...the one step i didn't do that seems to be suggested in a few place is hard resetting my previous stock verizon 6.0 rom prior to flashing with NightRaven's 6.1 ROM. Could this have had any impact at all? I really don't see the relevance in this step as it's not updating any code in line like a service pack, it's completely wiping and re-installing but i'm open to suggestions...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mungo888:
The ROM is already MUCH faster than when this project first started out & for me is quite satisfactory. Of course not as quick as WM5 & only very slightly slower then WM6. One thing you can try is a CPU Scaler such as XCPUScaler.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
I've disabled the voice command and car speaker.

How do I set the priority on applications.

I also only have personal digial clock, spb weather and aim installed that's all right now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
I didn't do this either.

However, I'm definitely going back to WM6 Alltel OEM tomorrow.

I just hope with the Alltel OEM ROM I can send SMS to Tmobile.

Very Sluggish and unstable "Phone" function

I'm fairly new to this, but here's what I did and my experience so far.

Alltel 700wx running orginal WM 5.0.

Downloaded 6.1 rom and installed as instructed. Phone was up and running immediately. Did roaming update (*228), connected stereo headset, and connected to exchange server.

1st thing I noticed was no Search function available from Today screen. 2nd thing, the phone function (incoming calls, as well as out going calls) very delayed. I would get less than 1 full ring on incoming calls, and then the call was gone. On out going calls, the Call screen takes several seconds to show up after call button is passed - it does start to dial and ring before the Call screen shows up.

I turned voice command off, and the incoming call delay was lessened, but still extreme. Now it might ring 2 full rings. Still kind a bit short to empty hands when working, dig in pocket and answer call.

The only thing I had done was connect to my exchange server.

The phone has also become quite unstable - it freezes a lot.

Question 1: How does one change the program priority.

Question 2: I don't understand what the "kitchen" is all about - Can someone please explain.

I am currently installing orginal Alltel 6.0 rom to see how the phone functions.

I am excited about the availability of WM 6, as I have it on my Treo 750 and love it.

Thanks for your help and efforts bring this to us.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Remember guys that the 700wx is not designed to run 6.1 very well...this rom is as perfect as it is going to get...now we need to learn how to cook this sucker...I'm a nOOb too but I'm going to start playing around so we can "trim some of the fat"...I followed ebag's 6.0 rom progress for a long time and speed improved with every release...he was able to do so by getting rid of the unnecessary files/programs...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
SPB plus doesn't run well on the 700wx.. I had the same issue running on ebag's clean rom on the 700wx. I don't use SPB plus because of the performance hit.

I still haven't found the way to adjust the priority yet, but I was wrong, there are 255 (8-Bit) priority levels. I believe these are in the registry(I saw it posted some place, but it slips my mind). It was at start up.

The file cache thing really helped, but sometimes I will get lock ups as the result of some of the ghey apps I have. I don't believe it is a result of this ROM and NightRaven is the man.. He made this work really well, my hat's off to you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:
i have owned many smart phones and one thing i have noticed about this one is that it likes to have a clean as possible install...meaning little to no apps or extra junk...in some cases it is even faster to have the apps installed on the memory card.

i think we will see the biggest performance improvement by cutting out the unnecessary stuff form the rom. I do not have any time until next week but when i do i will mess with the kitchen to see what i can come up with. does anyone have a 700wx for cheap that i could use as a test phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
So I'm back on WM6 Alltel OEM - I have a small quandry...

How do I remove the Voicemail speed dial bar from the today screen?

Also - I really like the default SMS tone with this phone however I changed my ring tone and it changed the SMS tone. The SMS tone that it originally had is now gone and can't be found anywhere. Any ideas what it was called or where I could find it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] FusionZ06:
Well I answered my SMS tone question - It was Alarm4 in the Windows folder.

Video capture

Hi all,

thanks all for the hard work. I just flashed a few of Raven's rom during the last few releases. I just flashed with the latest rom and the video capture is very choppy. Audio seems to be fine. But the video is unusable.

has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks

I'm testing your new rom now. I'm actually testing this on my Palm 700w so I'll let you know how the performace of this build works. I've been using nightravens 6.1 RC3 build and it bogs down a bit, but the biggest issue is program memory. I need a stripped version of 6.1 without office. I'll keep you updated.

Update:

I've loaded the rom, but noticed there is no internet sharing, also there are a few broken shortcuts which can be fixed easily. I notice office was removed which is good, but i would also suggest removing the default games as well. Other then that I would say its a good first attempt at a remake.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1loudsvt:

MMS...

Ok, I've been gone for a while, read through the messages, downloaded the latest Napaboth (Verizon) and was playing with it, on a 700w... (sold my 700wx)

Everything works fine, except I don't know how to configure the "Network" side of the MMS. There are a few questions I don't know the answer to, like Messasge Center Number, the Email Center Number, and the MMS gateway address, is that including the gateway port? example, mms.metropcs.net:3128 or http://mms.metropcs.net:3128 ?

Another thing, can someone post the generic Treo Welcome and Goodbye screens? :)
