Version 3.0 uploaded, sorry I couldn't test the phone call to another person, it took me almost an hour to upload these and not enough time.

I will upload the kitchen packs at a later date, so that users can cook a LZX compressed ROM if they want more storage and don't mind losing the Option Symbol beside the SIP icon.

Edit: I can't believe I uploaded the wrong WM6.5 file. The camera will not launch. WM6.1 is fine though.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] toke07:
Nice weekend, guy!

I will try it recently :D
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] toke07:
Thank you so much. You've done a great work!!!

The touch screen is fantastic, even better than Touch flo on 2.5

The speed is increasing, with sms i do not see any lag like before

With call progress, still have a small "pause" between actions, but it is lot better.

Then I continue using and feedback :D
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Samueldw:
Great work. Well done. I'm not be able to test it right now but I will soon.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hey guys, finally got the camera to work on WM6.5, but I went the extra mile and did the following fixes:

-Sped up image processing on the device.

--This boost in image processing brings a significant overall boost to the device's operation, including faster camera image capturing, amazing boost to the 2D graphics rendering on the device (over 100 points boost over non-Hermann ROMs in SKTools graphics benchmark), making emulators such as MoonGBA able to play games like Megaman Battle network 95% speed (frameskip 1, no sound due to slow cpu)

I finally did it. The Treo750 is now faster than my TouchPro :D I will check later if the same fixes will work on WM6.1.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] toke07:

about battery, i feel 6.1 v3 is much much better.

Bug

Mate,

I dont know if it's just me who's having this problem, I've tried your wm6.5 v3 rom, but failing at around 60% of update so I gave up, and on wm6.1 everything is ok except for that activesync and notepad bug which give errors when opening .txt files, and i think this is much better if you use this mod for haptic feedbacks or touch response rather than the much felt vibrations on the rom now. Just my two cents, cheers..
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] toke07:
I haven't tried new 6.5, with 6.1v3 my active sync worked well, the notepad I do not often use.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Well guys, finally got the WM6.5.0 Camera fix update uploaded. Enjoy, coming up at a later date, the full kitchen packs plus my guide to cooking your own ROMs to your preference, such as more storage.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Hi,

I am using Treo 750 (without camera), with the default AT&T WM 6.1 ROM. After reading the posts and rage reviews about your ROM v3.0, I am dying to install it. But, I could not find a complete step-by-step guide on how to flash this ROM to my Treo.

Note: Just when I thought, I will buy a new Windows 7 mobile, I joined a new project, where camera mobile is not allowed. So, my TREO is going to be my Pal for more time to come.

Please help me or guide me to some posts on how to do this safely.

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Hi,

A quick update... I have successfully flashed the Hermann's v3.0 ROM to my TREO. It hardly took 5 minutes. (It took more than 4 hours to search in net for guides ;))

My original Treo was running WM 6.1 with SPL 0.24. Because of this SPL version mismatch, I did not use Cheetah Unlocker. I directly went ahead and used "RUUWrapper.exe".

Note: Though the wizard says this ROM is intended only for SPL 1.1, I could successfully patch it without any issues.

This ROM is awesome. Hats of to the expert chef :)

Steps I followed:

1. Download the v3.0 ROM and extract it to the computer.

2. Backup personal data using PIMBackup

3. Do a hard-reset

4. Connect the Treo to PC and create an Active Sync connection

5. Run the executable "RUUWrapper.exe"

6. Follow the on-screen instructions. [I ignored the version mismatch warning, because I had no option :-)]

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Wow, you took the risk and flashed my ROM anyways, that's really cool :)

I'm glad you like the ROM, that's the final product of 1 year of development :D
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Hi Einsteinecker,

That's excellent work.. You don't deserve to be a part of M$ WinMobile 6 team. :)

With the new ROM, I had spent hours so far, making my wife to have a hard look at me..

Few questions..

1. Why is font size in menus very big? How do I reduce the size so that I don't need to scroll it?

2. Is the Finger Scrolling limited to few apps? I could not see it working in Pocket IE.

3. I was trying to remove the "OEM*" help files from Windows folder, but it looks to be a read-only file.

4. In the original ROM, there used to be one app "USB Connections" under Connections, which is missing. It allows my Treo to use my PC's Internet Connection. Any shortcut around for this?

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
By default, that is the OS setting. I tried a Build 19xxx, which had a smaller font size by default, and while it did look cool, it was a little small to my tastes.

But, since this is a personal preference of users, I will tell you how to change this. Go to "Advance Configuration" in Start->Settings->System, and when you open the program, select the "User Interface" tree and look for "Popup menu font size" and change it to your liking (800 seems like a good one)

As far as I can tell, that is a limitation of IE. It seems all Internet Explorer's prior to Windows Mobile 6.5 are based on the old coding, which do not support things like a real desktop view, or user agent identification, etc. Finger Scrolling seems to be dependent on the program, as some of my text editing programs don't even work on 6.5.

Aha! You found something I left in there to support the "Help" program for first time users. Unfortunately, those files do not work most likely because I took out quick tour. You will see that I took those out in the Version 3.1 WM6.5 ROM, but for WM6.1, it is still based on Version 3.0, the ROM that does not include the stuff from WM6.5.

Ah! You found a bug :p unfortunately, that was something I forgot to return to normal when I tried to use Palm's latest program for PC connectivity. But don't worry! You don't have to wait for a fix. I included everything you need to fix things in the ROM, so follow these instructions to restore PC Connectivity:

1. Go to Programs->Tools, and open the Registry Editor.

2. Open HKEY_Local_Machine, go to "ControlPanel".

3. Scroll down to the bottom and look for "PCConnection" (no spaces).

4. Highlight and delete the key "Redirect" using the right "Menu" softkey.

5. You should now see "USB to PC" in Settings->Connections.

(if "PCConnection" does not have the "Redirect" key, look in "PC Connection", the one with a space)

Thanks for finding these bugs, I don't connect my Treo to my laptop so I wasn't even going to know about those bugs Λ_Δ; , but unfortunately, my laptop went dead and corrupted my hard drive, so I won't be uploading any updates soon, but I'm sure these fixes should work until you either Hard Reset or my laptop hdd repairs finish soon.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
That's wonderful. I doubt even a paid premium support will work like this.

1. I could restore the USB to PC with that registry setting. :)

2. Using AAC, I tried changing the Popup Menu Font Size to 800, 700, at least couple of times. But, after the soft-reset, there is no change. When I open the AAC tool, it still shows the default setting "Standard"

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hmm, strange. Have you tried changing your theme? Perhaps the default Windows Mobile themes will fix things, I did include quite a number of themes in WM6.1. Chances are, the theme is overwriting your changes, so try different themes (the "HTC" one might be a good one to start with). My theory is: no matter how many times you change the Popup Menu font size, when you reset the device, the theme loads, and overwrites your setting.

Try going into the registry manually, this time we have to go to the registry editor again, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> GWE -> Menu -> BarFnt, change "Ht" to 800, and "Wt" to 700. Let me know how that goes, and I'll see if I can load up WM6.1 to try this myself. I can't test this as my Treo currently has WM6.5 (which also had the "USB to PC" bug ^__^; ).
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] lionheartsails:
Excuse my ignorance I am a noob, when it comes to phones.

Looking to upgrade my Treo 750 w/ WM5.0 (att). Just trying verify steps in installing your ROM.

1. Download the v3.0 ROM and extract it to the computer.

2. Backup personal data using PIMBackup

3. Do a hard-reset

4. Connect the Treo to PC and create an Active Sync connection

5. Run the executable "RUUWrapper.exe"

6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Am I missing anything?

Thank You.

Next I want to upgrade my i907 Epix

Treo 750-1.13 att - Ver.A / FW 1.17.20 / WM5.0 OS 5.1.195 /
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
It seems that you are still running WM5. I recommend you HARD-Spl first, then flash the official WM6 Palm ROM that is for the branding of your device (AT&T 2.25). The reason is that your phone has an old radio that does not support the newer HSDPA support of my ROMs.

Do find the time to read through those threads, all the info you need is all there, and if you follow instructions, it should be very hard to mess up :)

And, upgrading your Epix, eh? I recommend using Windows XP to do so, the reported problems with flashing usually happened on Vista. As for my 800mhz ROM, sorry, I don't have plans to release that (unless I get heineken's permission)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Thanks for reply. I tried all options.

1. Tried setting both Default Windows Theme and HTC

2. Tried changing menu font size using AAC tool and Registry

But, it did not work out. I mean, the font size is still very big. In Registry, I see the Ht as 1000.

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Okay, thanks for the feedback. I will look into this as soon as I can.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Not a problem. This is a very minor thing, which my Treo can bear :)

One more thing I wanted to highlight here, which is again a minor thing.

For few themes in Today Screen, for Messages (SMS), I see that showing "No unread

emails

". But, when I launch, it takes me to the "Messages Inbox" correctly. Why it is like that?

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
So I took a look at it, and apparently I can change it. As you can see in the attachments, image0415 is what you wanted, right?

The only things I can think of that are different are:

-I flashed WM6.1 Version 3.0 on top of WM6.5 Version 3.1

-I should note, that when you change the registry, you must put your device on standby for at least 10 second before you reset.

-Using Advance Config, I tried changing the popup menu size to 800, and then pressed Left Softkey "Done", and the program asked me to reset. I reset, and the menu font is still big. What I did to make it work, was after you change the popup menu size to "800", do not press Left Softkey "Done", instead go to other options in the program, toggle a few things, and then press "Done", and the popup menu font changed to 800. Try that.

If not, you might need to flash my Version 3.1 WM6.5, and then WM6.1 Version 3.0. I should also mention that when you set up the device for the first time, and "Device Customizer" finishes customizing the device, it is very important to Soft Reset the device immediately afterwards (using Programs -> Tools -> Soft Reset), the reason why I did not make the device reset automatically is because Palm's Welcome Screen (where you calibrate the device, set time, etc) is much too old to support the Device Customizer settings, which I added in there to make cooking ROMs easier to customize once I post the Kitchen packs.

It is a minor thing, yes ;) It is just how it is originally displayed, a leftover from Palm because they used "Palm Messaging" instead of WM's default messaging program.

You can change it by going to the registry, HKEY_Local_Machine -> Security -> Resover, Press left softkey "Values", and change the "90" registry to whatever you want, such as "No unread SMS", or "You've got no mail" :p

Remember to standby the device for a few seconds, then soft reset to make the changes. I left that in there because I never used my Treo for email, so I wanted to see what it's like to see that one moment, and then see a SMS pretending it was an email :p

Hope this all works out.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
I forgot to mention that deleting the "90" registry key for "No unread emails" should return the today plugin back to normal.

And Happy New Years, everyone!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
I am yet to try this solution. But, thanks a lot for your time and effort, just for trying to solve this.

Wishing every one a wonderful new year.. :)

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] lionheartsails:
I used HARD-Spl, which appeared to complete all 3 steps, but was unable to locate the official WM6 Palm ROM, so flashed using your 6.1. Everything seems to be working fine except when I push the red button to wake up the phone. Sometimes it comes to life fine, but most of the times the screen displays red / black lines. It always happens when I use the red button to turn off the backlight and 75% - 85% when it turns off automatically. I have set the backlight to 50% & 60% with no changes. I have to remove the battery to be able to view the screen.

Any Ideas?

Version: WM 6.1 Pro. - VE OS 5.2.20771 (Build 20771.1.4.6) / Proc SC3233A-300Mhz

Phone: Treo750-1.13ATT / Hardware Ver A / Firmware 1.16.00.00

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
From the looks of it, you need to upgrade your radio. As of this moment, the only way to do that is to flash one of the official Palm ROMs.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] prasathvishnu:
Hi Einsteinecker,

With your tip, I could solve both the issues.

1. Reducing the Font Size

2. Changing the Today Screen to read "No unread Messages"

As you suggested, the trick is to keep the mobile in stand-by mode for some time before doing a soft-reset.

With the original AT&T ROM, I could hardly have 3-4 applications open. But, now with your ROM, I could open 5-6 apps which still leaves with 10+ MB of free ROM. That is excellent. I felt like that I have bought a new mobile.

Thanks again. Happy New Year to you.

Regards,

Vishnu
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Yep, one of the reason why I created the WM6.1 ROM was because I was frustrated with the way WM6.5 did not have enough RAM, and WM6 for some reason was acting like WM6.5, so I decided that by making the WM6.1 ROM, we have the best of both worlds, finger scrolling fun of WM6.5 and the speed of WM6. :D

Glad to see it's working for you now. Have fun!

Camera problem in WM 6.5.0 ROM

Hi einsteinecker,

Thanks to you for developed such great ROM for the TREO 750, I really like it, everything is GREAT, I really like the new features of WM 6.5.0 like the Start Menu, Office Mobile 2010, just found a little issue with the camera, when I start like 4 or more apps, then try to open the camera it crashes, even if I close all apps the camera cannot start, in order to get back the camera to normal a soft reset is needed, maybe is something related to RAM memory not being freed correctly, I don't know, if you can fix that problem it'll be awesome!!!.

Kind Regards,

Jorge
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hi, welcome to the forum and thanks for your feedback. :)

I'd like you to run a few tests, one at a time or one after the other:

-After opening your 4 programs, try to open "Pictures and Video" instead of "Camera", and then open the camera through there. If problem persists, move to next step:

-Uninstall the HTC x-button program, then soft reset. Then repeat your actions, opening the 4 programs and then Camera. (If you want to re-install x-button, it's in the \Windows folder as a cab.) If you still have problems, move to next step:

-Try to open "Pictures and Video" first, and then your 4 programs. Then go back to "Pictures and Video" and use the Camera. If there are still problems, please let me know what the 4 programs are, or tell me how much RAM each are using, and I will try to replicate this problem on my Treo. I may have a good idea what the problem is, so I am hoping to try the 4 programs with some test fixes.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
I forgot to mention one other thing you can try.

Windows Mobile has a one-time RAM restoration of the amount of RAM a program used when it crashes. The simplest way to do this is re-open the program that crashed, and immediately close it properly (either through the program's "exit" menu option, or using WIndows Mobile's Task Manager). The amount of RAM the program was using should be restored. This causes the program to clear the amount of RAM it used, including the amount that was left in the RAM when it crashed.

So I'd like you to try this for the 4 programs as well as "Pictures and Video"(since the Camera shortcut crashes), and see if your RAM returns to above 20MB free.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] JorgeMontano:
Hi Einsteinecker,

I reproduced the scenarios you proposed and cannot reproduce the cam issue until I receive a call then try to open the camera from the "Pictures and video" and found the following.

Looks like the issue with the camera is not related to RAM memory (tried with more than 10 apps opened from the default ones, issue still present) or HTC-x button (uninstalled tha app and the issue is still present).

In order to reproduce the issue I followed the next steps.

1. Make a hard reset in order to discard that other apps I installed were causing the problem

2. Start the camera everything is fine, close it

3. Just make a call to any number, cancel or finish the call

4. Try to open the camera and it crashes.

I think that's the root of the problem. I don't know what happens to the camera when we make or receive a call but after that it stops working and a soft reset is needed.

Just one more thing I noticed that the Windows Live app that comes with the ROM is not working, tried to open nothing happens, also cannot add my hotmail account to the e-mail accounts, I think the hotmail problem is related with the Windows Live app, also tried to install a newer version of Windows Live and it has the same problem, the app is not opened and it just redirected to Today screen, besides those two issues (cam and the windows live), I really like your work, if you can fix those issues that'll be terrific.

Kind Regards,

Jorge
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
I see, looks like it's call related and not RAM related. I've got a better picture now of what to look for, but it looks like I'll have to go back to the older build. The current build seems to not like our Treo camera, as Version 3.0 had the complete Camera failure as well.

As well as the Windows Live problem, I did not enable support for that from the start, so that might explain why it doesn't work even if you install a newer version. Say, could you point me to that newer version? I might be able to cook that in for Version 3.2.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
There is one more important thing I'd like to know. How did you flash Version 3.1? Was it on top of a PALM Rom, or on top of a previous Hermann v3 ROM?

I've tested flashing on top of a PALM Rom, and my Hermann ROM did not like that. So I would like you to try a new method of flashing my latest Version 3 ROMs:

If you have a Palm OEM rom in your Treo, I advise to flash a Hermann Version 3.x ROM that you are NOT going to use, boot that ROM into the welcome screen, Hard Reset using Power button +Reset hole, and then flash the Version 3.x ROM that you want to use. (Do not flash Herman 2.5 or earlier ROMs)

For example, If you want to use WM6.5, Flash the Version 3.0 WM6.1 ROM, and then flash the WM6.5 ROM you want to use.

The idea is that, this is the only safest non-task29 way for us to "erase" the ROM storage of the Treo if a PALM ROM exists, mainly because the Palm ROM formats an area of the ROM separately for the Extended ROM. So when we flash a Hermann v3 ROM, we overwrite the PALM OS, but since my ROMs have a slightly larger file size, it overwrites a little bit of the Extended Partition too, leaving the phone in a half-Hermann, half Palm state, because my Hermann ROM only formats the Extended Partition after we boot. So flashing a Herman ROM a second time that is different than the first Hermann ROM you flashed is important because we just flashed a ROM on top of what used to be a Palm ROM, when we boot the WM6.1 ROM, the phone was not in a state as if your phone came with my Hermann ROM first, because it was almost as if we just put an OS randomly somewhere into the Flash storage.

That's why when we flash a second different Hermann ROM on top of the Hermann WM6.1 ROM, it is almost as if we just flashed a ROM on a newly formatted, none-Extended Partition flash chip.

From that point on, any Hermann ROM you flash will no longer experience "ghosted" bugs from the PALM ROMs. Perhaps this is what happened?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Okay, I flashed WM6.5 to my Treo, and I've found out the problem. Apparently, I made this post a few days ago, and I noted that it is important to soft reset the device after "Device Customization" finishes its installs.

I did two tests:

-The first test was making a call right after Device Customization runs, and then opening the camera. (via button below volume keys)

-The second test was making a call, and then opening the Camera after I soft reset the device after the device customization was set up.(via button below volume keys)

In the first test, I encountered the problem you stated: after I make a call, quick or short, I hang up, and immediately open the camera. The Camera freezes.

In the second test, I make a call, hang up and then open the camera, in which it does open.

As you can see, soft resetting after the Device Customization finishes is essential to prevent the system from confusing itself (at first boot files are loaded randomly to accommodate the different post-boot installations). Of course, one of the other differences could be that I flashed v3.1 on top of Hermann WM6.1, so maybe that will help you. I have edited the first post to reflect these findings.

Have not tried Windows Live yet, but I do know that I need to cook a new Version 3.2, so that might take a while, as I have no date on when it will be uploaded.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
WM6.5 Version 3.2 uploaded

Okay, I came across the "Camera Freezing" problem even after I cooked a new ROM, so I found the problem and (hopefully) fixed it. I need Treo users who like WM6.5 to let me know if it still freezes, when you place a call, long or short, hang up and then open the Camera via button below volume buttons.

EDIT 1: sorry, there is a fatal error with Bluetooth (not installed -_-). will try to upload in a bit,.

EDIT 2: Ok everyone, I uploaded the fixed Bluetooth version.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] JorgeMontano:
Thanks einsteinecker!!, I'll test your v3.2 ROM and I'll let you know how it goes.
