Difference between treo750 update versions - Palm Treo 750

Good afternoon from the Netherlands,
This afternoon I have updated my Treo 750 from WM 5 German to WM 6.1 English. I did it by following the guidelines I found on this forum. It was rather easy and the Treo works perfect. Many thanks for that.
I now have the English UK version (only UK, USA, Canada) and I should like to have the English "rest of Europe version" or something like that. As far as I know there is no Dutch version.
On my Treo I see under Settings > About >Phone: Software Version TREO750-2.27-RWG
On internet I found this file: Treo750_2_18_VFE_DesktopUpdater.exe This file seems to be for Irish and Dutch (Vodaphone) customers.
I also found: treo750_2_23_row_en_desktopupdater.zip
Is there someone who can advise me what to do? Using one of the update programs and if yes which of the two, or do nothing because the software on my Treo is the newest.
Kind regards,
Winus

QTEK 8300 aku2 ROM found!

Here it is...
http://www.smartmobil.no/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=84
The thing is, I am afraid to try it because I'm not sure if it will install with English, and I don't read any other languages. Supposedly, the 8310 rom from the same site has a number of languages, including English, but I don't even have confirmation of that. Anyone willing to try and let us know?
ok, it works
well, I went ahead and tried it, and fortunately it works. default install is UK english, which I switched to US English so date/time/etc...are displayed in the manner to which I am accustomed.
The rom works beautifully. Reception blows away the SP5M rom, and something that I have never seen before...the EDGE icon works!
Re: ok, it works
I am about to install this ROM in my Qtek 8300, but first I want to know if it will give the choice of the SPANISH language. Can you check if this version has that option ?
Thank you.

spanish...
This ROM does have Spanish, but it is not listed as a 'language'. You have to select US English for language, and then under 'Locale', select spanish, Spanish, and whatever country you want (Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Equador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puero Rico, Uruguay, or Venezuela). Because it is not listed as a language, I am not sure if anything besides the date will come up in Spanish. Hope this helps.
Does this ROM have any advantages over the imate SP5m AKU2 rom? I'm currently using that rom but its still not quite "perfect"!

comparison w/ sp5m ROM
I tried the sp5m ROM on my qtek 8300. I didn't like it. I think that it has poor phone reception in weak areas, and the EDGE icon didn't work (not sure about connectivity because I don't actually use it yet). So, I think the qtek aku2 is better. It probably takes up more space because of all of the different languages, though.
I tried running the rom update but it always says "windows has encountered a problem..." and then closes quite quickly after it starts... is this because i have a non-brightpoint device? What should i do?
Aaagggh this is so annoying... can someone help please?
windows encountered problem...
This is not a brightpoint issue, if you used the ROM specified in the link. I installed on a unit purchased from MadMonkeyboys gadgets. Is your device app-unlocked and CID-unlocked?

dm251x, thanks for the ROM upgrade; it is much faster than the original and the SP5m ROM upgrade that I had installed previous to this one. The "E" works also.

Does anyone know if i can flash this firmware directly to my C600 with my JAMF dongle?
Thanks.
To answer my own question .. yes I can.
please help:Qtek8300 after Romupdate only in english,danish.
hello,
i udated my Qtek8300 with the rom from this link:
http://www.smartmobil.no/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=84
with the update i has nothing problems,...but THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS:
i can not working with english or other languages (norsk,france,ned,magyar,slovenish etc...)
i need: GERMAN- LANGUAGE
...please post a link or an uploadlink (i can`t use ftp..!) with the newest " QTEK8300 or iMate SP5m_AKU2-ROM" in german or WWE w. incl.german...
i´m found and downloaded a rom with this text:
200624819AKU2_8310_2090_253221_020900_Ship.exe
...but i dont now, is this rom for 8300 too and i have no language information..
I've updated my I-mate SP5m with Qtek 8300 and the phone is better than ever. I bought my phone second hand and the joystick has always been kinda fuc*ed up. The guy I bought it from did mention it, but it was getting more and more annoying. I had to push it hard especially downwards to get any reaction. And ofcourse I tought this was a hardware problem, I was even planning to have it repaired. But after changing to the Qtek firmware the joystick works just like it's supposed to. So if anyone else has problems with their I-mates, try changing the firmware.

I had the same problem on my QTEK 8300 with the Imate SP5M ROM update (from this site); joystick would "stick" on down push, had to push several times to get it to finally work; the latest QTEK ROM seems to fix that problem; it is faster overall; radio reception is better; and WiFi seems to connect faster also.
aku2 rom swedish
does anyone know of an aku2 rom in swedish?
mraxe, I installed this Qtek AKU2 ROM, and under Regional Settings, it has an option for Svenska (That is Swedish, isn't it?).
aku swedish
yes thats swedish
i wonder if just changing regional will make T9 work.
anyone know?
I changed the regional to Swedish, but T9 is still in English.
I upgrade for 8310. It works quite well but the shortcut hard button for contact and message change to IE and WM player. Any one help me to change to orignal. Thanks

Would this work ? Language issue.

Hi all,
I am still using my old universal, a device which is with me already 3 years now.
It is used with WM5 and I am using the Resco Keyboard to have Cyrillic next to my Latin keyboard.
Would I be able to buy a Raphael with WM6 and an English ROM and then install the old Resco Keyboard Software on there to get my Cyricllic ?
I could buy the device in Russia, means I get even a double character set on the keyboard. Perfect would be if I could use the keyboard for both languages in my mails.
What I do not want is the OS to be in Russian, that's why the usual firmware is not an option. I understood from the HTC hotline that changing the OS language normally is not possible, as it was impossible with my Universal.
Anybody have experience with WM5 software from Resco on this WM6 device ?
Best regards,
Ruud
So many of You are here, is there nobody You can help answer the question, PLEASE.

T*Omnia English Translation of menus and Dialogs from Korean..How??

Hello all
A friend of mine is living in Korea will bring me his new T-Omnia next week. The ROM that comes with it is in Korean and he has some trouble navigating though it as everything is in Korean. I tried to find a WWE ROM for the T*Omnia but got nothing.
Question: is there an easy way to translate the menus and dialogs to English.
It won't be that easy. The T*Omnia is sold only in Korea, so no WWE ROM's exist for it. There are software solutions that can translate the menus in russian or bulgarian but I don't think something similar exists for english as it is the default language if WinMobile If course you can try to hack some other translation of WinMobile (bulgarian for example) and apply it to the T*Omnia but there are still 2 issues:
1. No guarantee that such a solution will work with korean ROM. It's intendet to localize WWE ROM's. On the other hand a friend of mine localized a NL Diamond ROM successfully, so it may be worth a shot
2. The T*Omnia has a (still) non-standart resolution. Just look at the HD compatibility list for problematic apps So this is also a possible issue.
Anyway. Here is the link to such a localization program. It supports a number of languages, so it may be of some help to you.
http://sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=146
you could always cook us an english rom- i would love a T*Omnia running english!!!
none of the software in the link seem to have the ability to localize to english
i guess having the ability to simply have the main menus in english is "good enough" untill Samsung releases a WWE version of the rom. if someone can help with that, that would be great.
anybody can help with this?
I second this - I have a sch-m490 could anyone cook an english rom.
Same here, need that rom badly. Anyone please?
BUMP please help with this. Im in korea and i really cant use my phone right now. I couldnt enjoy my omnia. Please please help.
Please guys im so desperate here. Anyone please.

Abbreviation WWE

Hello,
sorry about the stupid question.
But can anybody tell me what WWE does stand for?
I already tried the search option and couldn't find an adequate solution for my question.
I own an HTC Raphael (German, O2) and wanted to download some ROM in German. But there are many versions with the prefix WWE on the board and I ask myself if there are WWE-versions that also includie a German version.
Thank you very much in advance.

How can I read Chinese on HD2?

Hi, I recently got a HD2 and I've realized that it can't display Asian (specifically Chinese) characters. Everything comes up as blocks....I'm just wondering if there's a way to get around this? Is there any way to make it so the HD2 is capable of showing the Chinese characters? Thanks in advance
As far as I know, you need to flash a ROM that handles double-byte characters. My Hong Kong HD2 has an English interface, but also can read/type chinese characters.
I found the official English Asian version of the ROM at HTCPedia here, which is probably what you need.
search for a SUNGLOBE PATCH. then it will display it. even does japenese characters.
good luck!
Look for sunglobe.cab for a quick installation. This is only for viewing chinese characters; japanese characters will not be shown, and you cannot enter chinese characters without the proper input method.
And while unrelated to this matter, here is a manual fix for viewing japanese characters on WM 6.5 I had to make a few days ago:
1. Grab the files meiryo.ttc and meiryob.ttc from your PC's font folder (C:\Windows\Fonts), provided it has them (Vista or newer, I'm not sure about XP)
2. Copy them to your HTC HD2 (or if it doesn't work, copy them somewhere else on your PC then on your HD2)
3. Move them on your HD2 to the \Windows\Fonts folder
4. Use the following registry file (copy-paste in notepad, save as .reg on your device, execute):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SkipTable]
"Tahoma"="00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Arial"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo"
"Times New Roman"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo"
"Courier New"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo"
"Segoe Condensed"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo"
"HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo;\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Helvetica Neue OTS"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo;\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Tahoma"="\\Windows\\fonts\\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\\Windows\\Fonts"
5. Soft-reset your HTC HD2
Then japanese characters should show up everywhere and be linked correctly.
inputting chinese is not what he asked. that is related to ezinput and another ballgame. rhats funny that the sunglobe patch i have CAN do both chinese and japanese. so dont have to confuse the person who requested for it.
does anyone have the link to the sunglobe cab? i tried to find it but couldn't....

Maybe you didn't try hard enough.... a simple search of "sunglobe cab" in Google turned up quite a few results.
This link shows how to display Korean on the phone (I can confirm it works).
http://leeblood.com/2008/02/16/windows-mobile-6-changing-the-system-font-adding-korean-support/
I am pretty sure you can substitute the Korean font for Chinese.
thanks i found the sunglobe cab, just waiting to test it out now

I read in the CooTek TouchPal forum about users complaint that the current version 4 has got a problem with Chinese input if the phone is running WM 6.5.
My suggestion is to read my post with regards to Traditional/Simplified Chinese input, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647307

Thats not true... I have both on my phone and its fine... but I use the ricky Chinese cab thats floating around somewhere... the 21mb version gives me full Chinese reading, sogou gives me a great ime (and i also have plumsip and touchpal but got rid of the A4 as it didnt work so well for me) and with the ricky cab I also get China PRC in my regional settings... before I would only get this with CE Star which I havent put on my phone as the others all do a better more finger friendly job...
