PLEASE HELP! I need it in English! - Palm Treo 750

All I want is my damn Treo 750 in English! (currently in Italian)
Can anyone help me?

Try the regional settings which are found under the second last option on the Start menu then select the centre tab and select the globe icon. Select English from the drop down menu box.

'Try the regional settings which are found under the second last option on the Start menu then select the centre tab and select the globe icon. Select English from the drop down menu box'
Errrr, not quite as easy as that I'm afraid gadgetstuff. Need some sort of ROM i'm guessing.

Do some reading about flashing your device. There is plenty info on the WiKi of XDA to fix the problem with your damn Treo 750!

Nothing.............
I remember there being a ROM a few years back but couldn't get it to work (that's why I havn't used it since). You had to load something like CheeDIAG.nbh then CHEEING.nbh.....never worked for me though.
Surely someone must have something so it puts the device in English?

Hi after putting the official t mobile upgrade on my english mda compat all was well for about 3 weeks then disaster.
If i hard reset and let it load the tmobile custom then when i go in to contacts and load contacts from sim card tthe phone starts playing up big time
If i highlite 1 contact it will not actualey dial that 1 contact but it highlites as many as the styles is draged across
Also if I go into file explorer and try opening the storage card it will open sd card but when i tap a file it just highlites it and all other files that styles is draged across ... please somebody help ...
any ideas ..
even just abuse about me being a newbie is better than the last post i put with 46 viewings and not 1 reply!!!!!!
thanks in advance
Since you now got all these problems, why not try to upgrade to 1.13 or reinstall the 1.12? It might help you. Guess it won't be a good idea to put a backup back on your mda after reinstalling or upgrading.
M
I have tried putting different roms on it taken from this forum but I either get an id/country code error or it gives me the same problem .
I am only useing the roms that are exe files as I am not brave enough to use all the other programs like maug? or what ever it is ....
If i can wipe my mda clean then try putting one back on I hope this will do the trick
So to anybody out there please can you tell me which roms to use or how I can sort my big problem out, that would be nice ..
Abuse is accepted help would be good thank you for looking and I hope it makes you laugh 8)
billbob, download this 1.13 WWE upgrade from here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe
When it's downloaded:
1) Using WINZIP, extract the EXE file to any folder you like.
2) Once you have extracted the files into your directory, download the file attached down here and copy it into the same folder as the files.
3) Double click on the ActiveSync icon, then go File -> Connection Settings
4) Untick Allow USB connection
5) Then run this attached file (MaUpgradeUtNoId.exe) from the folder. It may give you a country id error the first time you run it. If it does, just run it again and it will work!
Hope it fixes your problem. If it doesn't at least you would have the latest ROM ;-)
And when you're really really desperate and want a 'clean' device, so the upgrade program doesn't see your versionz: give it a hard-reset and when the first screen shows after the splash or anytime before you finish the init. procedure give a softreset. This way you won't have an OS so the getdevicedata function is NOT working and the upgrade software will report you're upgrading from version 'blanks only'.
I did it myself but won't recommend it.
Hope you don't need this tip.

hmmmmmm
Tried the all new 1.13.00 upgrade and loaded on my contact and hey all was well loaded tomtom on and all still great .finally got to bed at 1.30am
Now to some thats not late but considering i have to be up for work at 5am and then drive a lorry that weighs just under 44tonnes (why do so many people eat heinz soup) this kind of sleep pattern is not a good idea
after weaving my way to the drop off point where i would get some sleep I noticed that the phone had gone in to align screen mode
so phoned t mobile for help .nice person told me "oh your rom is newer than the one on the mda she had and did i do a hard reset after new rom upgrade ?"
anyway did as told and still same problem
sorry for going on
problems are
The contacts cannot be accessed1 at a time
File explorer will not open the file that the stylus is highlighting
the calender hard button puts the phone into align screen mode
this problem happens with diffrent roms on the phone so am thinking WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?????
will be speaking to tmobile tommorow and they may tell me its my fault
so please all you nice kind clever (no we wont put good looking this time )lovely people any help ???????
Sorry billbob i've read this before in a thread, at the time there wasn't a solution provided. Maybe I can find it back.
M
lady I spoke to today sounded impressed that i had 1.13 version on mda will she will be calling me tommorow to advise me what to do
aparently 1 of the engineres was upgradeing his at time of my phone call so that may hav ehelped with my case for them to sort it will tell all tomorrow night
thanks
Cannot find the thread, the guy/girl didn't use correct English (mine isn't perfect too, I know) and I remember that 'stylus' was spelled funny. Searching hasn't provided me with the thread I'm looking for.
By the way, the roms you've tried were they shipped or modified? Or both, otherwise I would have tried a shipped one, guess you've done that by now, don't you?
Hope the lady can help you.

ampda How To, CAB Files, Hacks all together in one place

Morning / Afternoon / Evening to All,
Not to be critical of this wonderful website which is full of great resources but, I have noticed that the useful info is hard to find.
So I thought it might be a good idea to post all of my items in the one place so here goes.
I will update these as i go.
TIP
If you want the CAB Files in remain in your PPC after install simply change the files preferences to "Read Only"
since i was just upgrade from wallaby to magician, i found all your posting, instructions and cab files very very helpful thanks a lot ampda, you rules :!:
Hello ampda , Great Work Friend . . . many thanx for these cabs and instruction files.
Cheers for taking the time to make them for the rest of us noobs
Glad to Help
verry nice indeed but there are simpler ways of doing the discribed below
(copied this out of pdf file )
3. Copying your “Extended ROM” Files before Big Storage
You need to copy the files from your “Extended ROM” before you go the Big Storage as you will need to install some of them after you’re finished, i.e. MMS etc. They will be deleted after the upgrade (and that’s the whole point).
a. To copy them from your Magician do a hard reset (push the power button and reset button at the same time).
b. Go through the screen alignment, time zone etc and get ready…….. when you reach the “Completed” screen it will ask you to “Tap your screen…. As soon as you tap the screen you get 3 sec to soft reset (push the reset button). If you miss it as I did just do a hard reset and try again.
c. After you do b. above go to the built in file explorer and under “My Device” you will now see the treasured “Extended_ROM” with all its files. Copy the directory straight to your SD Card then to your PC, keep them safe.
its just a bit easyer when you just fill in
go to windows folder on PPC and search loadvdisk.exe
run it and you will see your ext_rom (until you reset )
not to sure the usual file explorer can do this but Resco file explorer will find it
another progie that can find it is total commander :

Hi!!
Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone konw, or is there a way to save to the pc the SMS messages both received and sent??
Cheers!
use jeyo mobile companion. u can backup all of your messages, contacts (phone and sim), etc.
Hi!
Thanks for the tip!
By the way, and i think these questions are more tricky, is there any way NOT to charge the battery while the phone is connected to the USB?
And while using the calling software, when inputing the nunbers, to make the sim card entries dissapear and only have the ones that are in the contacts? Because most of the times i have a double entry and it really makes me mad!
Thanks!
The way to NOT to charge the battarie is to make some changes to your cable - cut +5v from USB (or make a switch).
the tray launch only app.... theres now way to BROWSE for the program you want on the tray?
sucks that you have to type out the entire path just to get it
Any idea whether these (or more specifically the camera speckles change) will work on a Wizard?
Remove Camera
Noob question here.
Once i install the camera & album to Storage how do i delete it from the \windows . Maybe not possible due to it being in ROM. In this case I end up with 2 camera software? So i'm curious what is the idea of installing in storage.
Halo ampda, i tryin to follow your how_to_ppc_upgrade.pdf buat I stuck in the step 4 backing up your existing rom to PC, in romupdate.exe I still confuse about the PORT things. can you help me to, which one to use?
please help...
thanks
Thanks for nice posting AMPDA..
I have a question,
I installed ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
but my camera version was 2.70 (build 18727) and it is still the same. I reset the device but still didnt become build 2026.
Do you have an idea?

Guys,
This sharing is really useful. I just bought mine few days ago from ebay. Mine doesn't come with ANY EXT ROM at all! No software such MMS, smart dial etc.
Can anyone provide a link to get back those basic EXT ROM software so that I can upload it back? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/ is not working for me. Any help pls?

Pillow write your email address. I'll send you them via email. (Those which are not device spesific).
What is the type of your device and rom versions?

Hi Lupusic,
Thanks a lot for your kind offer. I manage to pull up the files from the FTP using cuteFTP software. Some how my company laptop doesn't allow default browser connection....
My phone is O2 mini and has v.1.13 for both rom & radio. I think it's BigStorage (not sure though).
Any good advice for me? I mean anything at all....
Thx again

Guys, I'm not able to run Boot Image Tool. It gives me this error

Any idea?
Thx....
Hi AMPDA,
Thanks for all your postings on big storage which gives detailed instructions step-by-step. Very brief and consise. Also now I notice you have put everything into 1 place like a table for pick and choose. Can it get any better ? Can't ask for anything more. You have so many useful cabs and instructions. I have benefitte a great deal. ONCE AGAIN Thank You.

switching operator ROM without changing operator

Hi guys,
I am currently using the orange spv m500, I upgraded radio rom to 1.13 and the last orange update for the 1.12 rom.
What will happen if I choose a rom from another operator (e.g. tmob)? How do I get the setttings from my current provider back (GPRS, MMS) ? (only settings! not interested in all the programs, I will reinstall all necessary software manually; it's still windows :? )
Will there be any software installed from the rom of another operator? if so, will this prevent to set my orange settings back?
Thanks!
By the way, why are there barely any custom orange roms?
No problem at all, just backup your current rom. Flash with the new rom, prevent ext-rom from starting or go directly for BIG Storage & apply the setting cabs for gprs etc.
Cheers, M
Ps. Dutch how to's are available.
which cabs from external storage
great, big storage it probably is! Hoping the new rom will also work with the extended bluetooth stack from this forum.
besides that, it gives me the opportunity to get rid of the horrible fonix voice dailing app.....completely useless with a long contact list....
fonix voice dail: "would you like to update your contacts?" NO! "please speak more clearly"...NOOOOOOO! (....people in the bus staring at you.... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: )
anyway, does anyone know which cabs from the external storage are absolutely necessary for orange?
The one thing you really need is the Orange network settings. Get a copy of WinCE CabManager (>10 trial executions) to view what's inside your Orange cabfiles. Usually the name says it all. Then after an upgrade you can easily decide what to load & what not.
Besides on BIG Storage a hard-reset its all it takes to get rid of an unwanted Orange program. So make a list of things you wanna keep, execute the ext-rom cabs on look what it gives you. Gambled wrong? Hard-reset & start again, doesn't take so much time as long as you don't install other third-party apps during this process.

How to skip the bloat! (Fuze)

I have yet to see it posted so heres how to skip the MEGA BLOAT on the fuze.ATT tried VERY hard to prevent it this time around.
I have tried every screen from hard reset. From what Ive found this is the only way to do it.
1.Wait for the tap here to customize.
2.Go through the screen alignment
3 skip or set pass word.
4.When it says your done and tap the screen to start WM get ready to reset
5. The absolute second you touch the screen(use your finger and have your stylus ready by the reset hole) hit the stylus reset. (if you see customization start your too late and must start over)(hard reset by holding volumedown and the button in the center of the scroll wheel while pressing the stylus reset)
6. When your device starts TF3d will NOT be in your today Items
7.Go to today settins and disable everything
8.Use file explorer to go to windows and find PT_Manila_Reg .cab and run it
9.Run MSFT_Security.cab
10.run the Opera cab called WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab (only WM6_PPC_HT… shows up in File Explorer) or you won't have the Opera browser.
You now have no bloat and TF3D
You must also install the opera cab in windows for the internet tab to work.
but does everything work?
i found on my hermes that certain stuff didnt work properly if i went about it that way

So far yes
Ive been testing for an hour. All the cabs from customization are posted in the windows folder. T
he only thing you lose i see so far are the folders in programs. For all the bloat Ill gladly recreate some folders.
so this is supposed to get rid of the At&t tab in touchflo 3d??
because i did it an the tab is still there...or what exactly does it do?? 9IM A NOOB!!)

but everything else is loaded like MS voice command, the quickgps,etc?
any idea where I can find the tools that was under programs with att configured?
need to use the proxy thing
Nevermind I found them there in the windows folder

As far as I can tell we are getting everything else except the stuff you dont want by skipping customization.
If you want stock and know how to flash NATF's rom is a good alternative. He has done a good job of removing the junk permanantly. From what I have read his rom is pretty solid.
I will probably continue my tilt line of ROMs on the fuze soon. I always base mine off of ATT's most current roms and leave all ATT settings intact.
Does anyone know the name of the CAB for Opera in the windows folder? It does not start off as Opera. Thanks...
UPDATE: Found it.

Opera doesn't load if you skip the bloat. What is the cab called? I couldn't find it and ended up finding a newer version on this board and used that cab, but I would still like to know. It was driving me crazy.

It is called WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab. All you see in file explorer is "WM6_PPC_HT..." so it's impossible to tell what it is without running it. I installed Total Commander to find it.

The reset is a small button on the bottom of the Fuze, to the right of the usb port underneath the headphones symbol.
Beat me to it... Yea, The title is too long and you don't see the opera part. WOW, what a difference when you follow theses steps. It even puts the YouTube app on the internet TAB. The fuze runs ALOT smoother and has WAY more RAM/ROM. Good find!
do I press reset when I touch the screen, or the moment I see something change on the screen from me touching it?
WHen it starts up, am I supposed to see a customization wizard? Or did I fail?
edit: failed.crap

Yeah the second you see the screen change you have to reset. Once you see the wizard you went too far. If you see it hard reset and try again.
Thanks for this info. I tried flashing some of the ROMs specifically the NATF ROM since I wanted to keep the AT&T theme but not some of the AT&T bloatware but one thing I noticed accross the board is that cellular video does not work. I have checked proxy and connection settings and managed to get MEdia Net to work but CV always fails. Opera states the fuze is not a 3G phone and PIE only shows XML codes. Alhtough I don't use CV much I still wouldn't want it broken. I suppose this is my alternative for now.
Ahhh, I love the internet and being able to find the answer to any question you might have haha. Thanks for the tip on Opera, I was definitely missing that.
About the only thing I can think of that was kinda cool from the AT&T pack was the Cellular Video. Can that be installed by itself?

Cellular Video is only a website and can be access through cellularvideo.cingular.com
Theres something called PT_BlackSCR.cab
I installed that too. Err..what was it? I'm guessing it was the ATT_tabbed TODAY theme? I forgot to check if that was there before I installed it.

THANKS ALOT for this, been looking to update my aged, and slow, yet my favorite phone which is still my main one.
I have couple of questions,
1) I see from the russian site u linked there is a WM 6.1 EN rom for it, what build is it, older than this rose_rom's 20757?
2)Which one is faster, this or WM 6.1 EN? (i am interested in speed rather than the 6.1 homescreens or overbloated dial skins)
3)i downloaded few days ago from a chinese site a file called otto wm6.1ru.abi. is it more or less the same? the translation on that page says they got it from 4pda. also from the screenshots of that site, radio ROM wasnt included, does this or WM 6.1 EN has a radio ROM?
3)What is the writing system on this rose_rom and WM 6.1 EN is it the bit annoying xT9/eT9 like all the 6.1 ROMs out there, or the amazing Palm dropdown autocomplete IME as in the original 6.0?
4)For speed and keeping the same features as the origial 6.0, which one do u recommend?
5)As i understood from chinese to english google translation from that site, to flash this, i need to format an SD card with Fat32, put the .abi file in it, enter bootloader(pressing down+on) and it will autoflash, is this correct?
6)What languages it comes with?
Again Thank you very much for this and your time, and I hope i didnt annoy you with my questions. Althoug i have many HTC Smartphones, this phone is my favorite and the only one i actually use from day to day with my custom mods on it. so i cant just try and flash stuffon without getting info about it.
Thanks.

Thank you for your quick answers, its ok i figured its google translator but you give me all the info i need, as long as its faster, has english, and u flash it with fat32 microsSD, it is what i am looking for.
Also i registered last night with 4pda.ru to check the WM 6.1 EN it also turned out to be same build, 20757. (took me 1 hour to register trying to figure out how the security code work, i kept copying/pasting russian characters, it turned out to be XX+XX=)
I decided to go with this Rose ROM, hopefully i will try it this weekend.
Thanks again.

Any luck trying? I'm so tempted to try too, but the only thing holding me back right now is the fact that I can't go back to the original ROM if anything goes wrong.
Or is there a way to revert if you prefer the original palm WM version?
Thanks to caramba_sda, I almost gave up hope on seeing a new WM version on my palm.

OK I FLASHED THIS. 1ST IMPRESSION IS EXCELLENT, THE PHONE IS MUCH, AND I MEAN MUCH FASTER THAN STOCK ROM AND LOOKING GOOD. STANDBY AS I USE IT NORMALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH CALLS, EXCHANGE PUSH AND (FINALLY) SMS-CHAT AND I WILL POST MORE CONCLUSIONS.
Boots in an ONE INSTANT, instead of ONE HOUR, and everything is so responsive, also windows folder is quite small and opens quickly.
Finally the LAG on the stock 6.0 is gone. I removed the clock on top and the battery meter, dont like those. Also i need to install Office and Windows Live and bring back my looks then it will be perfect.
Again Thank you very much caramba for your hard work and reviving that phone again.
EDIT - UPDATE ON STATUS
Activesync/Exchange Push, Emails, Contacts and Calendars works flawlessly and perfect. Still as fast as the 1st boot with all my mails and contacts in it. As well as Text Messaging also perfect. The best part is that the original autocomplete has remained and not replaced by that xT9.
However there are 3 issues now, only the 1st is critical with me.
1) the keyboard map is russian, the normal chars are proper english, all the alternalte chars are in russian (when pressing UPARROW) for example i cant get the upper symbols on the keyboard like ? , ' ; $ " @ / i get instead this Ю Б Э Ж Х Ъ this is very important. although in the registry it is 409 the keyboard layout, and the keyboard mapping/driver is pxa27x_keypad_Us.dll.
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE(FIXED): Checked every where all the registry entries are correct, i tried replacing the pxa27x_keypad_Us.dll with the stock 6.0 one, keyboard froze and didnt work. Edit: Fixed with new release.
2) IE 6 .... I wish u didnt put that horrible browser in and stayed with IE 5, it is slow, the mouse cursor to move takes time and it corrupts the screen where it moves. anyway to revert to IE5 without flashing back.
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE(FIXED): Found a registry work around, HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\MSHTML from 1 to 0. I included a CAB for this. Will downgrade to IE5.
3) The font is a bit jagged, or not as smooth as before, specially bold, either it has been edited/replaced or Cleartype not working proper. I will try to replace Segoe with the latest one i have and check later.
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE(ACCEPT): Tried the stock font, still the same. since it is not a big deal it is ok.
I've downloaded the *.abi file. But how to flash the device ?
copy it to an empty formatted microSD card, put the card in the phone, switch it off, press the down arrow on the the d-pad, while pressing it turn on the phone, it will load in bootloader and autoflash it, u will see red progress bar followed by green bar till its finished, then it will boot super quick.

I've got some problems with flashing it... I formatted the storage card (16gb) to fat32, at least, thats what the tool on my smartphone said, en copied the *.abi file on my storage card. I restarted my phone as instructed en the boot manager starts but doesn't do anything! It's just doing nothing with the palm logo on the background and some red text above it (something about the version or somwhat).
Could someone plz help? My phone is a Treo 500v
btw, here are the 2 files u requested. peter4stra was just asking the first q for me because i didn't had an account here...

thanks for the font. I am not an expert at flashing that palm, it did work with me the 1st time i flashed it. I will start at looking at a more reliable microSD card and smaller size, fat32 on a 16gb will cause corruption, go for a 2GB, good brand.
The font is 4 the russian charactars i guess? Hope it works . you're welcome
Brand of my current is Toshiba. Is it possible to make only one partition on it of 2gb?
I just found a 512MB card. currently i'm backing up the data and then i'll format it and try again. I'll keep u posted.

Not sure about partitioning microSD card, never tried it or heard of it being possible.
No the font is not for russian, if u read my comments on the ROM, i am having slight issue with the font display for some reason on stock it was better, I am not sure if it is the font or some cleartype changes but i will try the stock font and i will see, probably it is the same exact font. it could be just me seeing things
Also this ROM have 1 big issue with keyboard mapping of the alternate characters, ther russian and i am trying to get them to be symbols as my hardware keyboard, but no luck all the settings and drivers are correct.
Apart from that it is super, and I mean super FAST.
UPDATE: The fonts didn't make a diffrence. same. could be settings, i will look through that later. anyways this is nothing to be worried about. also not every day i get emails with big bold green in it. only issue is the symbols.
That did it! Used the 512 MB card and flashed it. It booting like a f1 car, and the look and feel is like: AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWHHHH!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAA!!!!! really cool xD
Thanks for posting this rom!
I don't really have problems with the symbols.. Just press alt and all the symbols just appear as they should be.
