WM6 Update - Palm Treo 750

Hey guys whats up, does anybody know any info on the stauts on WM6? Any word for the 750? I just cant wait for it to come out.

I've heard no earlier than June, although nothing says that it can't take a little longer than that.

Update
I'd bet on late summer, early fall

No one knows for sure.. ..there is some dude in Spain that said in an interview that the update will be available in june. But there isn't any info about wich carier, or where it will be released. Guess they keep us left in the dark about this one

Palm Insider says June and has pictures. I doubt it will be on time, something will keep it from being released on time.

I bought the Treo 750 based soley on the fact that Palm annouced the Windows Mobile 6 update was official!
Been using WM6 on my wizard for 3 months now. Always wanted a Treo 750, but couldn't bear to go back to WM5.
Hope this is released sooner rather than later!

I felt the same way, but I really like a lot of the usability enhancements Palm made. I didn't want to move away from WM6, but Palm has made the transition easier to accept. I just can't wait until WM6 is released - that will make it all better!

speaking of enhancements, I very much like the threaded messaging feature on the Treo 750. Hope that remains intact on WM6 for the Treo?!

I hope they integrate it into the actual messaging app, so I don't have to waste a Start Menu item and/or key shortcut.

Sorry richy, but I wouldn't expect any major differences between the WM5 and WM6 builds. The majority of the enhancements belong to WM6.
Why does the messaging app take up more space or more key shortcuts than the pocket outlook inbox? (In the settings menu you can specify what shows up in the start menu)

Hope this upgrade eliminate those stupid %#@&!(@#^ bug(S)...
I can wait for june or july... but it must be bug free ^^

I harldy think it's gonna be bug free, but I've owned a few other WM devices Prophet, Wizard, Tornado, Typhoon and Voyager by HTC and I must say that the Treo is by far the most stable, although it's not the fastest or the most tweakeable device. This is probably due to the business customer they are aiming at
Things that will remain:
- annoying E-mail on the left soft button
- SMS -> left softkey DELETE instead of NEW. Lucky for us Treo users we have our threaded SMS
The thing I'm looking for is the extra speed with WM6 on the Treo, seen in it action and it sure looks promissing!

not the fastest n tweakable... yes, can not agree more with that. That's what i afraid from WM06, it more resources hog and not tweakable (My thought)

I think the fact that the WM6 update for the Blackjack was leaked is a great sign for the 750 because they were supposed to be released all around the same time. I was very amazed that AT&T didn't pull it down from the forums on their website.

I just install the WM5new button and assign it to the left soft key. Now I can select to send new SMS, MMS, email, Word doc, etc...
Works pretty good.`

hey ant c, i think i found a little bug crawlin around in the rom. dont know if it is just me or what. i have set up to access my wireless router at home. when i go through the comm manager and turn on wlan it picks up and connects no problem but, if i activate wlan from the icon on the today screen i can only find all of my neighbors routers which are locked. mine is nowhere to be found. like i said, dont know if it just me but you might want to take a look.
How are u activeing it from the today screen? the plugin??
from the icon on the top bar.

TouchFlo Cab File

I installed the touchflo, it gets installed , but doesn't start etc. it needs somebody to get it working ,it doesn't seem all that far fetched like wm5 or wm6.it needs somebody from this forum to get it going . like they have done it on prophet, wizard,artemis, with some tweaking and alteration of biotouch file etc.cmon give some respect to the forgotten hero who started this transition from window mobile of being brick sized pda's to mainstream phone
Where did u download TouchFlo,cab?
it's all over, just download from these forums , it will be there in one of the wizard, trinity , prophet threads where they tried and succeeded ah somewhat , creating the touchflo work on their devices . u need to be logged in to see the link

if anyone could get this to work on the magician it would be even better than WM5 or WM6
TouchFlo on Magician
I installed GoodWin and FunContact from Vito Technologies. It´s a mix from TouchFlo and iphone and works fantastic. I now returned to my Magician and will sell my Charmer with WM6, it is also good, but horribly slow.

absolutely agree that Goodwin and FunContact is worth installing on magician or wm2k for that matter...IMO Vito should upgrade Goodwin to have more interactive home screen...now its seem that you have to scroll a lot because everything is in one page...
I didin't like this Goodwin, on my Magician it "half-worked", the signal strength and battery meter doesn't work and the button slide lock too, just when I start the program it appears and then never more. But I agree that the User Experience is fantastic. I am using the 2.03 WWE modified ROM.
Goodwin etc.
It is correct that the batterymeter and the signal strength don´t work, but with the lock-button i think you make a mistake: click on it with stylus or finger, hold it and drag it from the left side to the right side of the display, and the device will be unlocked so that you can work with it. I think batterymeter isn´t as important, i took the Power-button to Favorites to reach it easily for controlling the battery status. Another effect of the "half-working" is, that the timer to controll the testing period doesn´t work, too! So, for devices with WM2003, it´s Freeware!

Ok, it is locked just when I stard Goodwin, but how to Lock again? I was using Slide2Unlock very similar that locks the PDA everytime I Power Off the phone to stand-by mode, with Goodwin nothing happens when I power off and on.
why don't you guys try this out. just modify the includede ini file to match your shortcuts.

dude.. it's less than $20..I say just pay for it man..if u ever tried to write a program for a PPC2003 phone u'll know what a b!tch it's like...these ppl have put alotta effort into makin it work and the least we can do is show our appreciation... afterall.. this ain't TrashWare like a dodgy virus remover that installs the viruses in the "free trial" version just so u can pay them $20 to "get rid of it".. this is pure sweat and hardwork that someone's put in dude...and the lack of technical docs from M$ doesnt help either!
Otherwise.. dunno if anyone's mentioned it before, but a friend of mine intro'ed me to PointUI .. Alpha version just came out for PPC2003.. and it looks friggin schweet =) I'm usin it on my Magician.. definitely worth a look.. so far it's still free coz it's Alpha version

[Updated] HTC COMM colors & HTC Wings COMM Manager for Tornado

Looking forward to improve the look and the usability of my Tornado and after that I saw the Com. Mngr. window of my brand new Orbit 2 (HTC Cruise), I decided to gather some information about how to port the HTC Wings (SP) Communication Manager to my old and faithfull Tornado and from all that search, i did a cab file to realize all this.
Maybe this could be implemented too at the upgrade of any WM6 versions from vjgrace, NiTroGenious, nncuong.
The down listed cab file upgrade the actual ComMgr to the new one from HTC Wings at the english language. See pictures below.
UPDATE to COMM Color
The new COMM Colors is faster due a new *.dll file, it does improve the application's speed, this one as well as the previous one, only shows 6 different functions/connections, but you can choose your favorites to display by editing the registry, all the icons to the functions are available:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
From 0 to 10 you can select at the first entries (0-5) the application/connections of your preference.
The standard entries after install are:
0: FlightMode
1: Phone
2: Bluetooth
3: WLAN
4: IR
5: DataDisconnection
This looks hawt!
Nicer than the one that never matches my WM black scheme.
I'll try this tonight before I flash...
Any chance you can port over the contacts look too?

When I look at Wings and Elf, the contacts look quite different than for Tornado. I know a bit of it has to do with them having more screen real estate.
But the scheme and layout look slicker.
So looks by HTC Cruise
I've tried it and it works well. Functionally it works the same as the others I've used. Aesthetically, it's a nice change. The "toggled" indicator light is cool and it matches the WM6 black theme that I love.
The Data Connection was greyed out, but I don't have a GPRS connection setup so that may be it. (On an aside, I just reinstalled my PC OS on my main PC, and the default spellcheck for Firefox is US "English" that tries to tell me that "greyed" is misspelt; it even tells me that misspelt is "misspelled". And here I thought the US was supposed to have been colonised by educated people... )
The comm manager has a flaw. However, the same flaw exists in EA's ROM and I'm sure Nitro's and vjgrace's...
Clicking exit, doesn't actually close the app(let). It just minimises it so the back button won't recall it. Celetask finds the process lallygagging around.
(I know this isn't your fault. Just a peeve of mine. Exit should mean exit. I hate teases. Man, I'm just so excitable tonight. I wonder if that has anything to do with why I have this nick?)
qtek_metanol said:

The Cruise, aka Touch Cruise, aka Polaris should look like the Touch because it's allegedly a variant (but so varied as to have it's own name and forum )
Here's some screenies from the Touch:
http://www.imobile.com.au/images/phone_reviews/htc_touch/touch-screenshots01.jpg
I'm considering getting this one [the Touch], as the Polaris will cost so much and I'm already seeing it locally on cragslist for $300-350.
This newer interface, which is common among the newer models, looks more like an interface, as opposed to a mini OS. Disguising WM maybe a smart move on the part of HTC.
The above pics only has the my people list, not the regular contacts. I can't seem to find a pic right now. But it looks like the comm manager, or the song list.
sorry, wrong posting...

The one that it installed over. i.e. the one that came with your ROM, unless you have installed something else over that one, in which case, I hace no clue, but do tell us how it works out ;-)
Looks very nice works fine but really slows down my phone which is SP5 running vjgrace 3.5 ROM.
Next question.....how do I know this is the cause ?
Removed and phone has speeded up.

Unhappy O2 Customer
Myself and my partner also recently updated our roms on our O2 Xda stellar, The flash went well for both of us, it was the after effect of realising there is no sliding home screen with the O2 release of this rom.
Im going through every file on our phones trying to see if its just hidden?
but so far nothing has turned up.
If anyone has managed to find a way to enable the sliding home screen please will you get in contact with me and post it here for everyone please.
Thank you
Simon Tasker
Hello there
I understand that the sliding panel home screen is available on non-touch smartphonedevices, although you may read it as a realse component of WM6.1. Bad wording I guess as it is a little confusing.
Regards.
Thanks
Thank you for the fast reply,
I feel slightly cheated by this but hey thats the way it goes. it would be quiet difficult for it to work with the size of the screen on the stellar but it would still of being a nice addition.
Thank you again for the response.
Simon Tasker
Well, to be honest I replied to this as I too was wondering where this feature was.
But hey, look at it this way, you have not lost any features!
In fact, since I got my XDA Stellar in nov 07 I have been using SPB Pocket Plus which offers more flexibility than what I believe Slidin home offers. Check out the Tabs on which you can add any file, program or even a whole plugin as I have the HTC Home plugin.
I've not seen first hand what Sliding Panel is like but Im very satisfied with this set up on mine and maybe this is helpful for you in achieving the same flexibility of customisation and personal taste. All of what you see is just from Pocket plus being ticked in the today screen items collection list.
Ok stupid question as there doesn't seem to be a manual for this on the XDA site.
When installing this, does it over-write any files? ie am I going to have to re-install and re-configure all my software? I just want to know before I do this while away from a net connection.

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.

Sure, I have backup software, but I shall look at this as an opportunity to flash and re-install. Had just better make sure I do all required syncing first

installing what? a program or flashing a rom?

The new ROM. On the O2 site it implies it won't nuke your stuff. Sure it says...
In order to ensure that important files and data do not go missing from your Xda during the software download process, please save them to your PC first before you begin. You'll then be able to reload them onto your device after the software download process is complete.

but that could be read as it might go tits up and break your files, but you'll otherwise be ok. It also doesn't mention 3rd party applications.

Whenever you flash a new ROM the handset gets formatted. Any data on the handset will be lost. If you want to keep anything, transfer it to the memory card first......

Love TF3D but I miss my WM Today screen

Been using TF3D on Energy Warhark ROM for my Raphael. I like TF3D now that it works (in the non-stock ROM). But - I miss today screen on WM. Specifically - I need to see my tasks list often and I also like SPB insight runing. Anyone know how to switch fast between manila and WM Today w/o tediously going to setting tab? Or better yet, a tweak for manila for tasks tab?
what you can do is find the "search" link on top and use it.
Look for Manila Detacher. There's a newer app like it in the raph software forum, but I can't remember the name. There's also the Manla Today Tab, but it may not work on that version of Manila.

Second Today is another ap.
You can configure it to run TF3D and set one of your soft keys to Second Today and you can toggle between interfaces.
I run this also in conjunction with SPB Mobile Shell, on the other soft key just to show off....
