Guys love the forum. The help is amazing.
I have a ATT branded treo 750.
What are the pros and cons of unbranding my phone and making it vanilla?
What exactally will I lose if I unbrand the phone?
I keep all my mail on my owa server in the basement so the phone is virutally empty.
Anyway thanks for the help.

Cheetah Cingular ROM
Once I have performed this update on my 750v, how will I be able to retrieve the updated versions of the Cingular ROM? This version seems to be full of annoying bugs.
So far there's no other available ROM.
yet... I hear that there will be a new ROM soon (Mid Jan).
Auto Disconnect on Treo 750
I had a piece of software for the Kaiser that made a boatload of tweaks to the registry, and it did two that I liked; one was an autodisconnect of the data (GPRS/EDGE/3G) after x number of seconds (I believe it defaulted to 600) and another that enabled the HSDPA icon for 3G.
That software did not work on my 750 because it needs Net 2.0, so I was wondering if anyone might have the settings I need to add/change for these registry entries??
I will also post this in the Kaiser forum, in hopes of an answer there. many thanks in advance for all the help!

This phone is also the Sitronics SSP-101. It's a Russian phone that looks exactly like the i-mate SPL except it says SITRONICS in white letters instead of i-mate spl in blue letters and it has Russian letters on the keypad in addition to the english.
These are actually great phones, it's sad they didn't go anywhere. Other than battery life, the Blackjack and Blackjack II can't compare to this phone (I've owned those also).
I'm looking for a WM 6.1 ROM with working IE and WMP buttons (mainly IE, I don't use the WMP button anyway).

Any updates? I have the SSP-101 and the version of WM6 that it ships with is so limited. It don't even have a Task Manager. Very limited options. Hope one of our cookers gets something nice on the kitchen that would work for us. My phone is 1month old and sitting on my desk because I can't live with the limitations of the stock rom.
Edit: HERE is a thread that talks about the I-Mate SPL, but, no where on my phone can I determine if its a G3 or G4
Hey Mark, just wanted to add I'm in the same situation with the SSP-101. I've tried flashing a 6.1 rom for the SPL to it, but I can't seem to get the SSP into it's bootloader to flash it via cable or miniSD. Just this second dropped an email off to Sitronics so we'll see where that goes!
Let me know if you have any luck with them. The ship ROM is so limited and the signal is very poor. Hopefully we'll find a way to upgrade it. I gave mine to my son for now. Don't care much for it with the ship ROM and Radio.
Hello,
I have from work Palm Treo 500v. I can´t find "fan web" with tips and new roms. I like to try windows mobile 6.1 on non-touch device
Do you have any solution or information
Looks like there is no interest (or no technical know-how) in the Treo 500.
I like the device, and i want to get it to replace my HTC s710, but after I tasted the difference between the WM6 and WM6.1, I am not willing to let go... especially the threaded-sms.
WM6.1!!
Samsung BlackJack II / i617

Is this for AT&T blackjack II's only?
Cannot change GPRS Settings - Locked to AT&T
I just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 and it worked like a charm and from first glance it looks amazing however I am stuck with no Internet access.
I am not using AT&T network and everything works fine (calls in/out) but the GPRS settings are locked to AT&T.
I tried adding a new connection but it won't work since the pre-configured AT&T settings cannot be removed.
Can anyone help me unlock the GPRS settings?
Thanks

Yes, I'm curious too.

In the text is written under the xp section that it is specific for at&t, but at the vista version not. So I don't know if the remark is for both versions. You can try
A quote from samsung.com:
This upgrade contains several enhancements and features. Highlights are listed below.

Windows Mobile 6.1 includes new features such as bla bla bla useless info

AKU 1.0.1 means build number between 19202 and 19212, so that build is too old, because there is a newer build 19593 (AKU 1.1.7) from Pantech Duo
yep, and even a 19700 in the Q9h!

From the About:

CE OS 5.2.19208 (Build 19208.1.0.1)
Radio Version i617UCHH2
RIL Version 2.002
...and for the record, in typical AT&T fashion, they ****ed with stuff to be "smart" and it broke stuff. I'm an actual AT&T customer and I have problems getting some things to connect because of their STUPID, ****ING locked internet settings. So for those of you that are on T-Mobile or Rogers or whoever with an unlocked BJII, you'll have to unlock the internet settings to be able to connect.
Now where's my reg editor so I can fix that?

Change "ATT ICS" to "" and reboot.
ICS will now allow you to choose either ATT ICS or MEdia. ATT ICS will not work without a tethering plan on your wireless account, but MEdia Net will work as long as you have the signal and the basic pay-as-you-go feature (not recommended).
ATT ICS uses "isp.cingular" (tethering) whereas MEdia Net uses "wap.cingular" (general internet).
Also, the ATT ICS and MEdia Net entries in the connection settings dialog are read only and won't let you edit them, But if you navigate to:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...}\Connections
There will be 2 keys in there. one for ATT ICS and MEdia Net. In those keys there will be a value of ReadOnly. Change the value for these from 1 to 0 and reboot your phone. These connections should now be editable.

app unlock not working
followed the instructions on a fully, properly upgraded BJ2 (radio and OS confirmed) and followed the instructions for the modaco hack and sda unlocker and nothing is changed. I cannot modify the GPRS setting nor make modification in the registry...any clues?
Has anyone been able to add Google Search or a Weather plugin to the new "Sliding" Homescreen. I remember seeing a weather and stock quotes Home Screen plugins in the new HTC phones. I believe these plugins where custumized for the HTC phones, but they "should" work with the new WM 6.1 BJII Home Screen. Someone over at HoFo mentioned that the weather and stocks plugins might be for WM Pro (touchscreen) and therefore won't work on WM 6.1 Standard. I used Google Search with 6.0, but it won't install in the "Sliding" HomeScreen of 6.1.
Anyone?

check out the link in my post. I followed that and had no problem editing and deleting the settings. SDA App Unlock worked fine too. Don't bother with the GPS unlocker. I don't think you need it anymore.
*BUT*
It worked for me so it should work for you...
Good luck!
Remapping the BJII's CV and AT&T keys is easier in WM 6.1 than it was in WM 6.0. But I have been unable to find or figure out how to remap the Press-Hold Home Key in WM 6.0 or 6.1. I want to remap the Press-Hold Home key to start CeleTask instead of Task Manager as I find CeleTask a bit more useful. I like the new new Sliding HomeScreen, but it does not allow one to use apps like Right Menu and Smartoolkit. I know it can be done because I have used XDA cooked ROMs in my Qtek 8310 that had CeleTask remapped to the Press-Hold Home Key. Anyone?
I am glad I found this, works great on my wifes bj ii

There was a widget on the Excalibur 6.1 app that allowed programming favorite numbers. It actually allowed more than just the 5 numbers. It was programmed through Chome. I noticed on 6.5 it had the program as well but I could not get it to work on the home screen.
Is there something similar for 6.1?
