[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Old release news

Features in both builds:

Version 1

--Added single click side button functionality, customizable (default: camera)

--Registery cleaned up.

--Renamed "Storage Card" to "Mini SD".

--Enabled full screen option in Camera (it just removes the WM UI though)

--Palm messaging has been replaced with default MS inbox. Now SMS can be backed up or defaulted to 3rd party programs like Flexmail.

--Start menu has been optimized for speed. Because of the extra speed, 4 columns are introduced instead of 3, giving users less to scroll through and more content (and back to the normal speed).

--Red button functionality is full like WM6, including radio power off.

--xTask is streamlined into the OS as an EXT package. This program is your task manager, in Hermann Finger use this to intercept tapping the Start icon if your hardware button is dead.

--Both builds can be connected to Windows Mobile Device Center (tested on Windows7 Home Premmy 32bit). As I unfortunately cannot use Outlook, do let me know if that works.

Version 2 additions:

--For the first time ever, the Splash image when the phone is starting has been changed.

--Thanks to Big Storage, even though the ROM was compressed to XPR, it's fast and not using too much storage space.

--Pagepool is now 6MB, Fast is fast

--The Startup sound returns to Windows Mobile! Customizable, and can be disabled if a personal touch to your phone is unnecessary.

--Added Microphone AGC. Greatly enhances voice recording, and perhaps even phone calls.

--Added Clear Storage. Why Palm never had a software method to Hard Reset I'll never know...

--Added Keylock. It sometimes helps to lock the Green Button and the Start Button from turning on the phone. Funny, isn't it? At least on my phone.

--Taskbar icons modernized,adding Bluetooth display functionality

--Includes Arcsoft MMS 5.2.2.66

Version 2.1 additions

--This time Version 2.1 was cooked using Fjtorsol's kitchen. There are a few pros and cons, pros like working shortcuts, cons such as the inability to use network time (my V2 build could, but not 2.1). Note that Version 2.1 also has Fjtorsol's features.

--Some of Fjtor's features were upgraded, such as App service to 1.87.0.0, Arcsoft to 5.2.2.66, Sim Toolkit Svc to 4.93.0.2, Sim Toolkit UIPPC to 4.73.0.0, and USSD Service to 4.36.0.1.

--Like I promised, build 21889 has been tested for over a month and it's ready for use. This build was released in December 2010 from HTC, as you can see it's very fast and it totally smokes my Touch Pro. The \Windows\ folder loads in about 1 second, compared to Energy's ROM on my Touch Pro at 3-4 seconds.

--I decided to do 2 versions, a BASE ROM and a Consumer ROM, simply put, the BASE ROM is for users who want to install stuff themselves (like Windows Live), and the Consumer ROM is great if you want a lot of Microsoft services ready to use, such as Windows Live or Microsoft MyPhone. BASE ROM has a lot of storage available, Consumer ROM has 20% of that used up.

--Bluetooth file sharing is ready and it works, and you don't need to enable "accept all beams" in that Infrared setting. I have tested receiving a file from a Samsung SGH-D807 Simple Phone, all you need to do is "enable File sharing" in the FTP tab of the Bluetooth settings.

--Storage Card is the default name now, I was too lazy to change to MiniSD :p

--Version 2.1 retains Clear Storage and Microphone AGC, available in both BASE and Consumer ROMs.

--Both ROMs have Zip Mobile 2010 version 1.2.3.1.

--Pagepools are set at 6. Remember to change it depending on the kind of work you use your Treo for.

--Unfortunately, due to me using Fjtorsol's kitchen, the ROMs are compressed in LZX, I have no idea why my kitchen can use XPR at the same size Fjtor's does with LZX. So I stuck with LZX, which doesn't matter to Build 21889, because it's still fast :D

Fixes from Version 2 to 2.1

-Thanks to Fjtorsol's kitchen, shortcuts are no longer mysteriously deleted or cloned.

-Bluetooth file sharing used to be dead in Version 2. Fixed in Version 2.1, remember to enable file sharing in the FTP tab.

-

Fixes since V1:

-[Hermann Classic]Fixed "Phone" icon in Start Menu that pointed to nowhere when tapped.

-Deleted dead SMS tone setting that didn't work

-Added missing "Brightness" icon in Settings Panel

-Added Missing "Keyguard" icon in Settings Panel

-Removed Palm's simple Ringtone settings, enabling the more customizable Windows Mobile ringtone settings

-When mapping the side button, there was no icon. Icon now defaulted to Camera.

-Option+OK mapped to XHook.

Known bugs:

--Due to my dependence on VolServ, the Ringtone settings for "Phone: Known Caller" retains that bug all custom ROMs have, which doesn't matter what kitchen you use. A fix was to remove the registry settings linked to VolServ, but then half the system will not work. To remedy, simply select the ActiveSync settings, then back to Known Caller and you'll see the real settings.

--The Caps/Shift keys icon that shows up beside the little keyboard SIP icon is gone. I discovered it is Theme related. I fixed it at one point during the Real Power Button testing, and it did show up. I can't seem to redo that without killing some things.

--In Fjtorsol's ROMs, I was unable to get time settings from my wireless carrier. I have confirmed this to be a problem with the type of ROM used as a base, as my V2 ROMs were based on Palm's 2.30 ROM, which supported my wireless carrier's network time. Unfortunately, because I used Fjtor's kitchen, this "bug" carried over to my V2.1 ROMs. This is a problem if you use programs that utilize Windows Mobile's Cell ID location-based service.

--Theme was removed from Hermann Finger.

[Hermann Finger] The HTC Black theme (originally for WM6.5.0)seems to work at first, but changing to a different theme and back leaves the bottom bar and other 6.5.3 icons missing. I consider the HTC Black theme as a one time gig, apparently, since I cannot edit the theme as WinCE cab manager needs to be registered before I can fix it.

--Random?

[Hermann Finger] With the enhanced top Taskbar, sometimes (it happened to me while locked to 3G) when you turn on the Radio, the signal appears empty (as blank, 0). There still is a signal the same as your last level, and your network type (3G, Edge, GSM) will still be shown, and you can still make calls. Hermann Classic did not have this problem, which it actually had a much cooler feature, remember when you turn on the radio, and try to access the "Phone" settings, and the Treo will tell you "the Phone is busy, wait 15 seconds", well in Hermann classic, I observed it to not show the signal strength until the Phone is ready. Might not happen often, but it was really cool.

--No more Splash screen.

The Hard Reset function (Hold Red Button + Reset button) may look blank, or glitched, but it still works. Apparently Palm never thought Big Storage was possible :p

--The HSDPA icon that displays when you are actively downloading on HSDPA is gone. Or rather, Palm's Dial Lookup was the original source. don't worry, when that 3G icon turns into a funny looking icon, you are still on HSDPA.

--Fixed. BASE has no rings, Consumer does.

Only 3 ringtones? Apparently, keeping Dial Lookup, Active Call, and my mod to remove Palm Messaging keeps it this way, no matter how I tried to cook the rings into there. Don't worry, you can still add your own ringtones, preferably into the \My Documents\My Ringtones folder.

--Fixed via Fjtorsol's kitchen.

[Hermann Finger] There is again 2 MS Office folders. Both work the way they should, but forgot to delete it as I had already uploaded the ROM...

--Fixed. Kept VolServ in the ROMs because it controls a lot more than just sounds.

[Herman Finger] The following sounds seem to not work: MiniSD card insert and remove, and Charger connected and removed. It actually is controlled by Palm's Volume control service (the little pop-up volume window that open on the top left), which I had removed in Hermann Finger.

--Fixed from Fjtorsol's kitchen.

[Hermann Classic] 2 battery bars. Tried automating showing the clock up top, but for some reason it doesn't like me :(

--[Hermann Finger]The ALT key symbols window still has the redraw bug, just use D-pad to select. I fixed that as well while working on Real Power button, and I admit, I forgot the change I did :/

--[Hermann Finger Consumer ROM]Input Panel shortcut is gone, which means you can't edit typing options :eek:
