Looking for an upgrade - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hi there,
I've been using the last rom from Jwrightmcps since December last year. However as Jwrightmcps has taken a "sabatical" from development, I am looking forward to upgrade to my next ROM (want to get into the 6.1 bandwagon!).
What I like from Jwrightmcps ROM is that it tries to follow as much as possible the original ROM for the device vendor, and the additions are really useful (e.g.: Live Search, etc). Furthermore, Jwrightmcps ROM is virtually "plug and play". No complext instructions: just upgrade and you're on!
I've been for quite a while looking to evaluate what would be a sensible upgrade from Jwrightmcps' but I am really in doubt. What is, IN YOUR OPINION, the ROM that Jwrightmcps fans would be mostly happy with?
Thank you for your help!
Cheers,
P.

Wow... 130 views so far... Thank you all for the overwhelming amount of support I received... :|

Hi San,
Have you tried manual install of files on other ROM's? Does it work?
If it does work on other ROM's, creating the .cab should be a snap!
Cheers!
Havent tried it, but it should work....dont see any reason as to why it wont! Its just a today plugin and I've extracted all files related to it and the reg entries....
My current rom already has it installed, so it would be a pain for me to try it. If someone else could test it, that would be great!
(POINTLESS UPDATE: Wooooh!! My total post count is 666 )

Hmmm, might not work since I've tried Pawel's SnapVUE cab from HTC Athena & it didn't work. I think there's some file or registry entries built within the ROM!
Can't test at the moment either since I have SnapVUE running in mwang-DFT ROM.

The good old himalaya days m8!!! It was one of the best times really! Getting wm5 to work on the himalaya was such a cool thing....having had to format the DOC, partition it, merging the memory.....wow! That was one hell of a good time, and clearly the best gadget I've had in terms of fun and experience!
Glad you remember me from then on ;o)))
take care m8!

We were all Hima newbies that time. Some people just make impressions whether it was good or bad, but don't worry you're among the 'good' ones.
But hey, you may want to check the Athena Project SnapVue cab that I referred to as not working in our Uni probably because some files or reg entries were embedded during the build process. It should be similar to the one's we have since Pawel062 credited Chris of The Darkforces Team (DFT) as the original source, mwang is from DFT also! Download Here. (~5.1Mb).
Cheers m8!

Hi mate!
It is nice to be newbie, the learning process continues.
Though some bad news. The att tilt was purchased in the first week of January in California. The nephew visited his brother in Argentina and forgot to bring the Kaiser home. So we are now looking sometime in April. It is might the April's fool joke on me!
I need to update my signature!
Have you or San upgraded the Uni to 128mb? If so how much did it cost?
Hey San, now I am +1.

Nahhh, can't find a shop that can do it in Manila. Btw, have you tried the HTC Manila interface? Possibly a Snapvue & a HTC Cube replacement & it's for VGA devices! Saw it in the Kaiser forum last night!

It is soooo tempting to reply, couldn't resist. Now you are growing horns.
Waiting desperately to get my hands on Kaiser.
Wonder, if San has upgraded his Uni to 128mb. In South India, they probably have tons of shop to do this kind of work!
Cheers mate,
KOR!
Hi KOR,
I'm sure San has 64Mb, he was the first one to complain of low mem on the WM6.1 ROM! But, hey he's cool coming out with a re-cooked WM6.1, 6Mb PP & with 10Mb Flash Disk!!! Not bad for a newbie!
It's a shame though that NNCuong has not made public his WM6.1 ROM with 22Mb Flash Disk. I hope mwang-DFT's coming release has Flash Disk too! He's got something special on his sleeve!
It sure is tempting to have these new QVGA devices like the Kaiser, lots of beautiful customizations & enhancements. But, the VGA plugins like SnapVue, PointUI & HTC Manila are coming out as well. No need to reply, I'm growing your horns ... errr posts.
Cheers!

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

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!

Help, lost in space.... :-( Imate JasJar

Hello people,
sorry for a typical bad/generic question, but i'm really lost on quantity of informations on internet about WM and HTC and UNIVERSAL and as "casual" user (my jasjar in ON now after months of non-use) I'm not sure what keywords to use to filter the results.
Question is: i have this old PDA, the i-mate JasJar, with the standard WM5 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0 Italian: how can i update with something nice (maybe WM6? is stable?) to make it a little more current? Alternative roms are stable enough or there is always the risk to transform the pda in a brick? Which one should I use, between the tide of endless versions?
Thanks very much.

Welcome to the forum
You have actually one of the best devices HTC has made to date, could be old but it´s a solid rock!
Please READ here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
You´ll find all you need to upgrade your ROM to the newest version
If you follow the instructions you won´t brick your Uni
I recommend Tomal 6.1 ROM´s
Also enter to Universal section for more info
Good luck,
tu podrias hacer buenos comerciales paisa, nice comercial paisa!
Jejeje solid as a Rock!
Great news this is one of the best devices!

Thank you all for the reply and for the advice about what rom to install. I'm reading the very nice wiki. Just 1 question: reflashing roms change the language? Thanks!
Agreed!
I'm also using Jasjar since last 3 years, and yet don't feel to replace it with anything new, even though memory and space is always an issue with the new upgrades..!
I' m using Tomal's ROM in 6.1..good one! But if you are looking for an Italian ROM I think Lucas has it.
in 6.0, I would vote for JWRight

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.
Regards,

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.

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.)

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!

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.
