Treo Pro and WM 6.5 ?

[PedroDaGr8]

The one downside I see for my wifes Treo Pro is that the stock roms are BLOATED as hell. I will agree, it is HANDS DOWN BY FAR the best stock rom released. I just feel that a lot of the flashed roms (even the 6.1 ones) are faster and less bloated.

Also, it costs a maker around $5-10/phone for Windows Mobile. I want to say it is $5 but part of my head keeps saying $10.

Ur from Lex? Thats one of my Fav cities bro! I went to UK my first 3 semesters of college! Haha. Sorry I'm off topic. If your wife has a Treo Pro check out my giveaway thread, I have a pink cover I'm giving away.

On topic: You guys are correct, wm6.5 is more finger friendly, of course this phone came out later than the TP and it should in all honesty get the 6.5 update since it has the start button key. I didn't like 6.5 much on my old Touch Pro, it is nice, but seemed unstable at times, more so than 6.1. I think even if they did drop an update I am not sure I would go for it!

Hahaha, hell yeah. I graduated from UK. BG is a nice city as well, been there MANY MANY times.

Hehe, I'll check it out.

i would pay $10 for a 6.5 rom, official release or not. i want to customize my stuff and get rid of the bloating. im not really into the whole web os. i like wm.

Im currently running CFAY's WM6.5 Version 1.54 RC2 and it runs great on the Treo Pro... i like it much more than i do the stock ROM from sprint. Of course it is not perfect and some things just don't work right with it but so far im willing to live with it.

here is the list...
1- Ringer/Vibrate Icon does not work with the Vibrate switch on top of the device. When you switch it to vibrate, the device will still display the Ringer on Icon. no biggie for me.

2-Sprite Backup does not work at all. It installs fine but it display an error when you try to use it.

3-The New Lock Screen works great until you receive a call where the buttons lock when you take the call.... i haven't figured out how to unlock this... do not confused this with the HTC built in Dial Screen. Im talking about the new Windows 6.5 Slide Dial Screen

The Alarm snooze options does not appear if you are running the new Slide Dial/unlock interface from Windows Mobile


Thats it! everything else works great..!!!! it even feels faster than the old 6.1 ROM and my internet connection scores have increased dramatically.

i used to get 800 Kb/s on a good day
now i get 1100 kb/s constantly

I want to change my Palm Pro to WM 6.5. Where do I download the unlocker and ROM?

[ooxteme]

I'm running MatBees latest ROM and I LOVE IT no issues its stable as hell and seems like the phone is actually faster. I don't see myself ever going back to 6.1 unless a warrenty is involved


is there a way to get weather to display on the today screen?

guys, can you direct me on how to upgrade my treo pro to 6.5?
