Just to say a big thanks to mUnrus and the community!

Yes...a BIG thanks to all and aspecially guys like mUnrus who spend all their time coding and compiling the latest goodies for us geeks!
I own a Trinity myself (WM6-GPS by LVSW), bur yesterday my collegue's Wizard needed an upgrade. So i said to the poor guy: "Whoa! Let's hack the darn thing and get you WindowsMobile 6"...
After some well spent hours on the forum and the Wiki for the Wizard i was able to determine wether it was a G3 or G4 device he had, found out how to CID unlock this baby and ultimately we picked our choice from the plethora of nice WM6 ROM's that's out here... After 3 complete ROM flashes and the SIM and CID unlocking procdure, we've got a beautifull Wizard running WM6 by mUn (the NotTooSmart fixed version) fast and smoothly...
The Sticky posts and the Wiki were all so helpfull and crystalclear, that i didn't have to go and ask nOOb-questions anywhere... I'm not really a nOOb myself, cause i'm pretty used to flashing my own phones every now and then with the latest and greatest, but a Wizard was a completely new cup of tea for me (with the G3/G4 versions). So it proved to be a bit more work than just a single flash like my own phones, but with all the great tutorials i never went wrong on a single step of the whole procedure... Great stuff guys!
So my collegue run's WM6 on his Wizard (which had the oldest possible ROM on there... :i guess he is a nOOb to this stuff...) as from now, and he's very happy with it...
Ofcourse i didn't forget to tell him to upgrade AS to 4.5 before he could re-sync his device with Outlook, and within minutes after getting home he messaged me that his Wizard was back in business.
So, GUYS...! I wanna say a BIG thanks again to all who made all of this possible! Like mUn (and the other chefs) and all people who write these great tutorials... !

THNX !
Just like the idea of this thank you post.
so i like to thank everyone for joining in on this project and adding
there 2 cents
which in the end makes us richer and more fortunate
never i my 20 years of computerlife i would have thought that one would
make a device so much faster then my C64 and so much processingpower
in it that we probably wont use it 99% of the time.. lol
anyways i live for the moment this stuff being integrated in my wrist watch

Thanks to all the Wizard forum members!

All,
Just wanted to add my thanks to all the talented people who roam these forums ! I've benefited greatly from your work. Particular thanks to faria who provided me with working ROMs when I was beginning to wonder if I should just go buy another phone. Also to funman who guided me through building my own Roms when I thought that was beyond my skills.
I'm heading over to the Hermes forums now. A friend gave up on figuring his out and so he sold it to me for $200 (he didn't know about xda-developers!). I couldn't pass that up! I hope the guys over there are as nice !
Best wishes to you all!

Lucky Dog!! Bring back the ggod stuff you find over there!

You're in good company over there...
A few of us are in the Hermes FORUM, myself and Jose included.
Jump in, the water's fine!

See you there
Got myself a hermes today. Insurance company typo so got a vario 2 instead of 1 .
Just flashed olipro hard spl followed by pro black 3. Happy days
Helpful bunch too

Great to hear!
I've gotten off to a terrific start thanks to the Hermes forums. Installed Custel 2.5 WM6 and I'm back to almost the same setup that I had on my Wizard. I was very happy to find most everything transfered over (PocketBreeze, iLauncher, PocketWeather, phonealarm, rlToday, IM+, muns keyboard skin, and the JPL big button phone dialer !! About the only thing missing is BatteryStatus. The FAQ says there's no overclocking software for the Hermes?
And the speed using 3G! WOW!!! Absolutely worth it !!

To everyone that has a hermes,
There are already offical WM6 versions out.. maybe you should test some first before you brick your phone... i dont mean to sound the way it does but i'm still hoping t-mobile or at&t are gonna release an offical Wm6 for my MDA.. so i do haev to say good luck to everyone with there new hermes

I did. The first thing I did upon receiving the phone was load the official Cingular WM6 rom on it. Given that there was a WM6 for the hermes, I thought that maybe I'd just stick with that version.
However, I ran into some small annoyances (activesync problems) and it was missing some software apps that I gotten used to having (Task Manager as an example), so that's when I decided to try one of the "unofficial" roms. I did my homework and read through the load process and basically followed the instructions. Custel focuses on making Cingular compatible roms, so it was a good fit for my needs.
I guess I was very cautious about installing custom roms when I first got my wizard (prior to my hermes). But after all the annoyances with it (daily soft-resets, monthly hard-resets, ongoing network problems, etc., etc.), if I hadn't installed one, I would have given up on the phone. Another example of that: I got my hermes because a friend got fed up with it and got a Treo instead. From installing custom roms, I got into customizing them myself using faria's kitchen apps.
It's not for everyone and I understand that, but I've greatly benefited from the efforts of the guys who work so hard to build these custom roms !

No promises, but we will do our best to finish off the work we started on Video Call, it was us that brought outgoing VC to the WM6 Unis, and we were very close to finishing incoming VC work too.
We will try our best to finish this off in our final release.
WM6.1 with latest stable OS.
Cheers,
Beasty

Yes, but we need to start from scratch.
Base must be a shipped Uni rom because of device drivers I think.
Build number we can take any. Also XIP is a easy port.
So many new tools and applications are Developed meanwhile.
But... I have some kitchen experience, a lot more then when I started with Uni.
It would be great to work with you again, I'm looking forward.
And let's hope we can make videocall work this time in wm6.1!
Grtz,
Leo

wow, way to go for the effort to keep the best device still up and running.
beasty & leo.. i'll see you in a few monthes at the touch pro forum
good luck with the new rom, my friends!!

Thank You so much, guys, can't wait! I am keeping a spare Uni intact waiting for your work.
I have a few devices, one of them is HTC Elf. Flashed the latest Onyx 3.0 ( http://d.imagehost.org/0924/Main.jpg http://d.imagehost.org/0718/MainJr.jpg ) ROM on it a few days ago and so much in love with the look, would give anything to have similar working ROM on my Uni - it's like having a completely new toy to play with again. *HINT HINT*

So good to hear ! Thanks !

128 ram thanks

My eyes are filled with happy tears. I really hope that you guys could finish up the video call thingy.

Thats a great news. Finally the one has arrived

Are you new?? oh yes I see, please try to READ the threads on Universal forum, that way you´ll notice that our dear friends have a long time in other devices forum. And they are not cooking for us....
And VC, they had not promised at all.
I think we should be happy with the fact they are going to develop a final ROM, however this is I´m sure it will be great!, let´s not start asking for more and more stuff!
Let the masters do their own

Thanks Beasty & Leo,
Loved your choice of Vanilla/Business/FullFlavour.
Can't wait to see what you come out with this time!

Tomals WM 6.5 rom poll, vote now please

Hello
Tomal has requested for us to vote if we are interested in a WM 6.5 rom by him, so let him know by voting now please. Just remember this is still a very buggy rom and not yet on official release so it may be stopped!!!

Yes I realise that, but I thought it was more important to see how people felt about WM 6.5 in general first. If Tomal can make it run well already then Great, but there isn't much point if people are happy to wait if you catch my drift?
Regards
Jay

I'd love to see a new wm6.5 rom.
His 6.1 roms are perfect as is!

Ummmmmm......interest for WM6.5 getting increased!

Tomal WM 6.5 Rom - A good one!
Hi!
I think Tomal should tweak this ROM and make it more useful. Have been using the ROM and started to loving it. Though it has bugs and need often resets yet it can be made much more better with some effort.
Tomal, please do spare sometime and make it better for us to use.

Tomal WM 6.5 beta

I voted for "Wait until it is more stable", because the effort Tomal has to bring, is useless IMO. This is a beta-version and not that stable right now as users want it to be.
I use my cell phone for private things & business. So I need a fast and stable ROM like Tomals great 6.1'ers.
I have no 2nd Uni, only for playing and testing where I can say "Wow...look here: WM 6.5 Beta. I'm the king..."
Thanks Tomal for your great ROMs, but IMHO you should wait, without waisting too much time for a buggy ROM. THe time will come, but not now...

can Tomal stop to play with WM6.5 ?
I think he will get fever if he did
... i hope i'm right
if Tomal can make it stable why we should wait ?

wm 6.5
If you please,Tomal, make the best 6.5 rom for our old universal

Yes!
Yes, definately interested. Tomal v8.5 is one of the greatest pieces of software ever crafted. If you could apply that sorta magic, speed, responsiveness to WM 6.5, wow. Uni rocks!
WM 6.5 is of course already set for finger friendly UI, decent browser and all that, so you even wouldn't need to build much custom touch focused menus and that sorta thing. Hope to see this!
Just my damn screen broke. Lol. Flex cable musta snapped. Working on it...Damn, my other is a JAM, but I miss the keyboard for IM.
See the first look of 6.5 on pocketpcthoughts.com. Looks very neat.

Reflexion:
Why mostly the newbies ask for a 6.5?
Why they refer to Tomal as if they were old friends?
Just my personal reflexion, no ofense to anyone...
Good day,
LET´S PUT SOME VOTES! WE ARE JUST EVEN WITH KAISER

Yesterday WM 6.5 was officially presented in Barcelona, Spain. The question "When will WM 6.5 show up?" was answered by Ballmer with "Somewhere this year".
I hope Tomal will stay at his WM 6.1-projects. But in the end it is his own decision.

Because it is a leaked beta?! Spending time on final versions is more reasonable IMO.

Well... now that Tomal is working on 6.5 and beta1 is out this poll become usless I think

While I'll continue to try out the various 6.5-esque builds, I won't be planning to use them for prime-time until *after* a final-version 6.5 of *something* has been released and reverse-engineered.
IMHO, while development/testing time isn't a waste, because it will build experience with what's possible, at least, it certainly is let's say 'naive' to expect to have a fully-working, perfect port of something that's only in beta to start-off with!
Remember - the final WM6.5 hasn't even been released to the manufacturers yet!

The 'naive' quote wasn't directed at you, apologies if you thought it was, but at all those 'newbies' who seem to be continually voting for tomal, etc, to keep on going with 6.5 ROMs *now* <sarcasm>and where is the video-call</sarcasm>
Whatever happened to the FAQ that was mooted for this board, which would start off with "NO, there is NO working video-call on WM 6.x !!"...
PJC

It would be a pity if Tomal works on an instable OS. So I voted to wait until a more stabel one comes up.
When it does, Tomal should work on it immediately, so I can have a 6.5 ROM the day after its release
ok, ok, I will let him work on it as long as he needs. Just hope he can make a professional ROM from the overblown funny ROM which has much too much programs in it.
(ROM designers forgot the difference between OS and separate programs; I would love to see a really bare OS with much file memory free so I can install my own programs.)

Congratulation master tomal on your purchase of touch HD and many thanx for the hard work and efforts you put in uni forum...... Hopefully master tomal you will still cook for uni
Guyz please thanx Master tomal for the great roms and efforts ......
And please post your thank you post to show some support to Master tomal....

Calm down my friend
Our dear Tomal has stated that unless Uni leaves him, he has no plans to abandon it soon!
One of the best ways to say thanks is donating!! (To XDA or Tomal)
So Universal for some more time!
A little of history:

Come to think of it....
I am willing to swap Tomal 1 complete Uni for his 128Mb board...Just to keep him in the game, all of the Uni lovers provided with ROMs and me with upgraded board to enjoy anything Tomal has to offer... How about it, Tomal?

That's nice offer. But I don't think it will be worth for you because of the shipping cost. As well as my side due to added (huge) customs duty.
But I'll think of it....let's see what alternative idea I can generate...

Hi
Count me in to support=donate any idea or option you decide!

But to be honest because of you I haven´t replaced my Uni
You have done an amazing work for all of us and that is priceless!
So if anything I can do to help to keep you active on Uni forum I´ll do my best!!
I am also buying another device (TP2), but I´ll keep my Uni as active as it is now!
Cheers,

Thank Tomal !

I just wanna thank YOU 4 every thing YOU have made 4 us. Your roms are the greatest and I hope You will not live us 4 sure but sometimes give us some new stuff.
I think that I will now think faster about buying the HD

Now less probable!!
Now with 6.5 ROM from Tomal and other chefs Uni es more alive than ever!!
LONG LIVE TO UNIVERSAL!!!

Finally, I got the HD in hand.
It is really a nice device.
cheers

Good news.... Play with your new toy ( HD) hehe and great that you found second uni..... and can't wait you to port those HD rom into our UNI LOL

THANKS TOMAL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE
still use one of your cook for my uni...
