I've been a visitor of this sight for years, but never felt the need to post before. The reason I'm posting now is because there has been a flood of different wm6 roms that have been released. I have tried a couple and for the past week have been unsuccessful in getting them to work with BBconnect.
I have tried diffrenet mods like typhoonnbfdecode to get bbconnect to work but with no success. I've seen others have had luck but I'm not as fortunate. Browsing other devices' forums, I've seen much more support for the Hermes and the Universal. Some of the new roms that have come out for those devices have BBConnect support built in! It seems that the Wizard is not getting the same level of support.
This brings us to why I'm posting this thread. Those that have new wm6 Wizard roms under development, please be kind enough to include bbconnect support in that rom. If a rom already exists that has this included, please feel free to post it here. I've tried 3 different versions of bbconnect and have settled on BBConnect 2.1.2.54 as being the newest and most stable.
If anyone has a simple hack that works with the new WM6 Business Edition rom, please feel free to give detailed steps on how to make BBconnect work with it. That is the rom currently on my phone, but I have no problem trying a different rom if it supports BBConnect upon installation.
Thanks in advance.

With all the rush, I almoust forgot about it. I will try this man, but after the core is ready and all problems are gone. That's my first concern right now.
Also. has anyonw tryed this in a Wizard ? If so, don't be shy, let's talk. I always enjoy knowing more.
g0dblissyou, don't leave the forum, because I will hunt you for this request. You will test it because I cannot. I don't use that and for now, I have no idea what it is. Be a little pacient, BlackBerry Connect will be integrated.
It's good to know that someone is planning to implement this in their rom. I am anxious to put a stable wm6 rom with bbconnect on my wizard. Thanks for everyone's involvelment on this issue. Looking forward to this.
USA T-Mobile
Will this work on USA T-Mobile?
Hopefully, it will work on T-Mobile USA. That's the service I use. I have read on other forums that there has been success using bbconnect on T-Mobile with the wizard. But the roms were edited to get a complete connection.
Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in to shed light on their experience.
If you guys want it so bad, then do the following.
Search and find all settings, and send me a "how to". I couldn't possibly know all this , I'm just human.
Stick to the point, for example :
"Do this and that, make that change...."
I'm over my head right now, I promissed a rock solid, ultra fast and ultra clean base rom and I want to keep my promiss...so work work work...
If you could provide the right "how to" I could include it in the base, so you'll have 2 base roms, 1 with BB Connect and one simple.
I'll search around and find out what exactly needs to be done. Then, I'll forward the info to you, anichillus.
g0dblissyou said in his post that he was sending you the steps to include bbconnect, but I'll search around and get the info for you.

He did send me a link but I am waay to busy right now for reading, sorry... that's why I was asking for a full how to....
Hope you understand g0dblissyou, If you said you did it, I would need you to tell me exactly how ... step by step, I think there's no noob bigger than me in bbconnect
I think this was the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298936 ...didn't had time to read though
I wasn't successful in getting to work with any roms I had. I read post after post of others saying they got it to work. Yet, there was no comprehensive step by step guide on how to edit the rom for bbconnect. General steps were covered but I didn't see any posts that gave great details.
After hours of frustration and aggravation, I decided to start this thread asking for someone to add it to their rom. Hopefully, g0dblissyou will send you the details needed, because I'm not sure I'll be successful in getting all the steps right.
BB Conect working on wm6.
I compiled a new nbf file, flashed the phone, changed the AKU (if you don't do this, BB will connect but not pull any emails).
In the log it used the same data as with my previous rom (5.1.195, bb version 2.2.16 and AKU 0.2.0.0).
All thanks to c0rnholio. Everybody else with a wizard (and rom WM6...):
1. Use typhoonnbfdecode_v5 to extract the 800310000-os.nb
In the command prompt:typhoonnbfdecode_v5 -x nk.nbf (to extract the nk.nbf file)
2. Then use HEXEDIT to change:
05 20 A0 E3 02 10 A0 E3 A5 EF A0 E3
into
05 20 A0 E3 01 10 A0 E3 C3 E0 A0 E3
3. Then use nb2nbf_tornado to recreate the nk.nbf. Put in:
Model: WIZARD
Language: WWE
OEM: empty
Version: empty
CID: Empty (very important)!
Select File 1 the changed 8... .nb file.
Yes, once you enter that it is OS and put the cursor in the START field, it will default to 82040000. You have to change this to 80040000 and then press enter to start the process. The guide is correct in stating that you have to change it manually.
then flash the nk.nbf to your phone, change the AKU and that's it!!!
The AKU is like a core of the system (that's how I explain it to myself). The new AKU will be .0.0.0 You'll have to change this to .2.0.0 in the registry.
Use TotalCommander (free download), go to the REgistry, HKLM\system\version and then double click on AKU. There you can change the version. Then Swich off the phone (don't press Reset, otherwise the registry entry will not be saved) and restart.
Oh you also need the software ...BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2[1][1].1.2.31
Just curious as to what BlackBerry Connect actully does for an Windows Mobile device? Is this like an alternative to using an Exchange server for push with WM devices? If that's the case, would I have to switch from my unlimited data with T-Mobile to an blackberry data service? Will T-Mobile do this switch?
You guys are awesome
I don't have a clue how to go about doing this. Every time I try to research it, I get completely hopelessly lost. It is something I've been wanting for some time though. Thanks much for working on it.
BBconnect would make your device emulate a Blackberry Device. You would need to get the Blackberry service from your provider and have your account configured for it.
My employer refuses to use wizard devices to access our microsoft exchange server. They tell me to buy a Blackberry, and they are perfectly willing to pay to get me connected. I just can't stand the d*(^(m things.
Anichillus if you put BB Connect in your next rom you will be my biggest herO! i have tried to do typhoon thing but i just dont have the ability enough to edit myself.
Thank you for all your hard work!!!

anichillus,
The later versions of bbconnet(.52 and .54) aren't specific to any carrier. I would suggest putting one of those later versions in the rom. That way, they'll work for various devices on different networks. Also, including it in the rom ensures that it's working properly for all those who eagerly want this.

I didn't see anything about it in the listing... Is the BBconnect in the Core 2.0n rom?

No, it isn't because i asked for somebody to test BB connect and nobody answered...
I cannot work on that now...mabe the day after tomorrow. I will rebuild the
Core 2.0n with BB connect and you can test it then
I'm trying to get real data on how much use I get from my TC between charges. Is anyone running a utility to monitor the cumulative amout of time that you've had your device switched on for since the last battery charge?
I Googled and found a few apps but they were all last updated in 2005 or 2006 and specified Windows CE or Windows 2005 CE as the supported OS; although they probably are just fine on WM6 I'm always nervous of putting very old apps on my device.
Has anyone found anything more recent or already tried one or more of these old ones on their Touch Cruise and can verify that they work?
I have a preference for something that isn't a Today plugin, I'd rather just leave a straightforward app running in the background since I don't expect to always want to be monitoring this, but if a Today plugin as all that I can get then that's OK.
EDIT: Hi Milan - I just saw your reply to my post in your PowerGuard forum so it looks like we're communicating, albeit in a rather wierd way across two forums. Thanks for your attention on this, you are a real superstar!

U want me to write one? Or integrate it in PowerGuard?

Hi Muyz,
Yes please! I did make a post about this on your PowerGuard forum, complete with some suggestions regarding a really simple way to implement it, but I posted from my laptop not my main computer so I didn't realise I wasn't logged on to your forum and my post appeared as being from "Guest" (but I did sign it with my name like I do on all my posts to any forum so that I can search on them at some later date if necessary).
My preference would be to add it to PowerGuard partly just to have one less thing to install but also because I suspect you already have a lot of the necessary code to support it in there already.

I had to share this with ya all. It is MSVC VER:1.60.4622.0 downloaded from: LINK REMOVED
4 Me, it works with bluetooth with confirmations and everything! I had such hard time when I first got my Telus HTC TOUCH VOGUE P3050 1 yr ago, and then a very hard time when I just recently flashed to the new TelusROM with wm6.1. I was about to give up while still trying to find other versions reading heldeeb's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395501, and I found ver.1.6.19209 as he suggested, but that worked only "flakealy", then I found this torrent, not sure what version it was, I tried to instal-->and behold it work perfectly even with confimations from the bt which I never had b4 with wm6.0! So there is something different about this version-->give it try and I hope it works 4u, I can't imagine a life with a pda with out voice command working--well I can, but its more of a pain! So good luck!
(note this is my 1st post, but I just had to share cause it was such an amazing and suprising find! I tried to zip it and include in this post, but not sure if it will make it, as I read in many posts that files were supposed to be included in the post which I could not find! )
<<ya the upload still fails! so message me if you cant download from the above link and would like to give it a try for wm6.0 or 6.1 pda>>
Help am not able to download. Upload the file to some hosting site and post the links here.
By the way the Microsoft Voice command version which is the 1.6.19214 version is posted here. Is the above version whic you told newer than this???
MS Voice command unfortunately is not freeware.
This is not an easy case as it sometimes is bundled with the software on specific phones.
So it might look like it can be freely posted as some other packaged software.
It's very complicated, but the easiest way to put it is.
Please do not post MS Voice Command, the license holder of the Software Doesn't like it as they are also selling the software.
I cannot see this post as willfully posting of Shareware, i hope it can be understood that Posting of MS Voice command might get formal legal complaints from Microsoft.
Thanks for your understanding.
If MS Voice command was included into a specific Phone model, then it is perfectly acceptable that it is included into the Rom (custom rom), intended to replace the Previous rom already containing MS VoiceCommand.
Actually the linked Thread from the first Post describes it best.
It holds an announcement that it is intended for License holders, or users with a previous legal version already being present. to use.
hi,
does anyone have the tripcase cab they could please upload - supposed to be able to download from the marketplace but can't find it - probably only a US thing so far.
thanks
Marketplace switch
If you want tot switch marketplace region:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577627
Do You have TripCase? I can not find the way how to download?
Where did it go?
Trip Case disappeared from the Marketplace just in the past couple of days. I changed to an NRG ROM and went to download it ... not there. Went to their website and WinMo phones are not listed. There's possible a new 2.0 version or something but don't know if this is the reason it's disappeared.
I live by that app becuase I travel all the time. Does anyone have the .cab?!
arrgh! I also installed a new ROM and found TripCase gone! Check this out: http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case_Study_Detail.aspx?casestudyid=4000006556 - That was in Feb. 2010! They talk about how cool it is to be on WinMo because they can do so much, blah, blah, blah. Now, I think they dropped support! Not even a mention on the website! Jerks.
It might not get us the cab file but if you go to www tripcase com/blog/?m=201103 (I removed the DOTS in the address) and under the "new mobile version" article we can post comments. If we all flood (NOT SPAM) them maybe we can let them know how many of us WinMo users there are that aren't happy with a "browser" based version of TripCase.
I fixed my problem doing a Hard Reset and uninstalling the Palm Translator software pt-BR. So, I'm still using 6.1 and I'm very happy with it.
Guys,
I'm in desperate mode on. It has been two days I updated my treo 750 to wm. 6.1 ( Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD). Everything went just fine. The system is nice and all. A little bit faster than the old 6.0.
But then the nightmare started: My "Notes" and "Task Manager" are there but don't work! I put Network frame 3.5... but nothing happened.
These are the two app I most use! I know there is a lot of other apps but I wanna use these ones that came with the wm.
I have two choices: downgrade to wm 6.0 or fix this issues. I've been without sleep for two days 'cause every procedure I try to downgrade fails! I tried this one ( Treo750_2_27_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater) but it says "you already have a newer version installed". And yes, I tried changing the payloads archive.
I tried Cheetah Unlocker, SD card method but nothing happens, just the three color screen saying serial or usb. It also says:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
CHEE100
SPL-1.40.OliNex
The info about my phone is:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional (the start screen says 6.1 Professional)
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)
Software Version: TREO750-2.27-RWE
Firmware version: 1.12.0c.00
CC-CAP: GEN-ENG-010
I also tried T750URT but it does nothing but getting my firmware to 1.12.0c.00.
I took the 6.0 rom from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402
Are them really 6.0? I took the "Generic Rest-of-world - English"
Please guys help me. I've been searching over here and other forums and I just can't make it work. I chose this forum to subscribe and post 'cause it looks like the more expert. What am I doing wrong? I got this phone last weekend and I'm pretty new to this HTC world. My first smartphone! I live in Brazil and everything, even my 3G connection was working on the 6.0. This device came from USA 1 year ago and the last owner (my friend) just put the portuguese-br translator and used it.
I think I'm not forgetting any information. Thanks in advance. Going to try to sleep.

I'm using the same rom and the two app. work fine.
After search in the internet I found this link for rom 6.0
http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/1336491
but first check what is wrong with the 6.1 rom ...
One more thing - there are softwares that you can download and do the same job even better...( replace "Notes" and "Task Manager")...
one more link for rom 6
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
My 6.1 ROM is working superbly, +some registry edits to speed it up even more! It's more likely, that something went wrong in the flashing process. Just try again the same 6.1...
Thanks!
Thank you all for your words. You won't believe what happened.
@libal
This morning I was in classroom and I had a crazy idea. I pressed the red button (to end calls) and reset at the same time and erased all the data. Guess what? Everything is working fine! But I sure remember about doing this same reset stuff after upgrading. Anyway, I didn't put the translator to PT-BR yet. I'll try now and if anything goes wrong, I'll just reset it again and leave in English. English wouldn't be a problem to me as you see. I'm thinking about my wife (she's still learning English).
I wanna thank you both 'cause I just gave it a try after reading that you were not having problems with the same phone. Thanks for your time and patience.
@otoinsa
Is this safe? I mean, editing registries to get a faster wm? Can you tell me which mods or just point the link about what you did? Thanks again.
By editing the registry you can customize a lot of stuff (for me replacing left soft key's permanent "e-mail" to SMS was a must. Now under "SMS" I have a submenu containing "e-mail" AND "messaging"), also disable a lot of useless windows mobile features, or enable (power management - longer lasting battery).
To some extent it's completely harmless, just try to avoid experimenting with it too much! There are a lot of instructions on the web, most common keywords used for search are "windows mobile registry hacks" or "pocket pc registry edits". It's best to add the version number (WM 6.1 for example) when searching. Also don't confuse your Treo 750 with Windows Mobile Smartphones - they don't have a touchscreen and those run a different type of Windows Mobile. It's almost the same, however there are some differences...
Most of the older WM regedits will work on 6.1. Also Treo has some Palm-specific registers. Just for starters, here's a link:
http://pocketnow.com/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.1_Registry_Edits#Power
Wish you luck and hope you'll help to keep the 750 alive in this forum! Post your success afterwards.
I found it!
I found the problem. After doing all the customization and testing all the apps, I installed the translator Pt-BR from Palm's site. Guess what? All the apps I mentioned before stopped working. I did the uninstall process and guess what again? Everything was in English again and most important: working!
So this is the trick: don't use Palm Translator (at least pt-BR) if you are using a non-official wm6.1 rom.
The guy who sold me this Treo has the Treo Pro 850 now. Such a nice device, but 750 was my first pocket pc and I won't forget about that.
Gotta change the post title to resolved lol. But don't lock it yet. Maybe someone else may has a experience to share with us.
