[solved] Palm 750 wm6 speedup options

[blip]

Hi all, im new here in terms of posting but have been reading for a while now.

I have a Plam Treo 750 vodafone which is unlocked. I installed vodafone wm6 update on it a month ago... but since then i've stopped using the phone due to this:

I'm used to fast systems such as my linux desktop and i was really frustrated how the wm6 interface is slow. Even with few progs installed the phone gets very sluggish and hanging up calls even takes time.

Now here's my question:

Is there any way to speedup WM6 ? or install a custom WM6 that is faster ?

I tried Rest of the World wm6 ROM but it wouldn't install on my phone when i opened the installer it would say not compatible.

Would this speedup my phone ?

What should i do... i really love the phone and its features... but i just want wm6 to run faster so that the phone is usable.

thanks

can anyone please help me install "WM6 AKU0.7.0 WWE Cooked ROM Lite"...

I've never done something like this before and have no idea how to begin.. I can't find any guides only random text throughout the posts so i don't know what applies to me and what doesn't. I'm really worried about damaging my phone by doing something stupid.

My Phone:
750v from vodafone UK with vodafone wm6... but it was unlocked by previous owner... since i can use it on other phone providers in other countries. I have usb cable and 1Gig microSD.

The installation notes of the rom say i need to install Hard-SPL then flash radio then flash OS. Now for Hard-SPL do i need to install it if my phone is unlocked because i read some confusing posts there... then what is a radio flash do i need to do that ? how does it affect radio...

then after that i need KaiserCustomRUU.exe to flash the rom... i only found a post about CustomRUU with "RUUWrapper.zip" is that the same thing... sorry but i'm really confused and need someone to guide me through the process for my first time if possible.

You are ready to go. Download the ROM from Chaimd on the 750 Upgrading thread, rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh (the ROM file name the 750 expects to see) and copy it to the root of your miniSD card.

Insert the miniSD card, hold down the bottom right button on the side while you do a reset and the bootloader will start. And away you go.

Make sure you backup (backup program is best) all your data - it starts you out with fresh device and default settings. ROM works perfectly - fast and lots of extra storage.

Thanks txzman for the info. But just to be sure i understand... you're saying i don't need to install Hard-SPL from:

UPDATE:

ok i didn't install Hard-SPL or flash the radio.
I tried to install the rom straight away... i put the ROM on my memory card root and renamed it, then did the reset with sidebutton...and i got to the wierd colors screen and nothing happenes after that.
It says on the screen:

Palm Tr
IPL-0.20

Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000

In the end nothing happens... this method doesnt work. i tried using KaiserRUU.exe update method but also that doesn't work it gives me and "Error [260]: Connection" even though activesync is connected... please tell me what i can do to install this rom.

i posted the question in the thread for the cooked rom. i guess this is not the right place to ask thus no one is replying.

sd needs to be formatted fat32 - re-format card to fat32, re-copy cheeimg and try again. Google or search here for the available formatting apps.

INSTALL HARD-SPL FIRST....

If your Palm Treo is unlocked, you still need to install Hard SPL but just run step 1 and ignore step 2 & 3. This will allow you to flash your Treo with ROM's other than your provider as well as modified/cooked ROM's like the one made by Chaimd.:cool:
