• Menu sounds work by default
• Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
• Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms and CID unlock, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Recomendations
• I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
• If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep). Personally, I have not tried to overclock this rom due to the performance it already has.
Credits
I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Singh Mobile 6:
• Faria for providing the initial ROM Kitchen that got me cooking
• mfrazz for the guides, information and providing me help with tweaks and his words from forums
• mattk_r for OEM and OS Packs **Chef**
• Theloon for providing me his latest Betas and working on this OS 318.**Main Chef**
• funkadesi who took the time to help with beta/alpha test the early version of this base rom and provided splash pictures and various ideas.
• It's Right (TNT Chef) for his welcome screen i love this
• InGeNeTiCs for taking the time to dump the rom Microsoft put on his phone so we could have this base rom
• Many others here at XDA-Developers.com that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
Known Issues
• The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.
• Every WM6 rom I've tried has an issue where if you use the "Press and Hold" of the CommManager button to switch to and from Vibrate mode, that the ringtone may not play when not in vibrate mode. To work around this go to Settings > Phone and play your ringtone and your ringing will work again.
• Camera Icon in Pictures & Video doesn't work, But Camera Button and Camera icon in Programs Still works.(I am working with few people to resolve this bug)
Connecting Singh Mobile 6 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP

Thanks, took me a while to pick them and edit them

Great start of a ROM. I really like it - quick, great app selection, one of the best first tries I have seen. I am having problems, though. It is having serious problems reading my SD card (that has virtually always worked perfectly) and also installing cabs off my SD even when it reads properly (may be related though). I THINK this happened once before when the ROM was heavily compressed like this one. Also, it went on standby earlier and wouldn't come back - had to soft reset. Other than that, I really like it and would look forward to a v1.1!

OS files are not compressed, just the apps are , i've have this installed from past 10 days now as well as my friends, I have kingston SD Card 2GB, maybe if you can tell me what kind i can check. Thanks for the comments. Will try my best to keep the bugs away.

A Windows Mobile 6 for the Sikh
Looks good to me. Nice combination of apps.

UPDATE: Been using it off and on all day, and I first have to say - I continue to really like this ROM. Fast, low power consumption, again - great app selection. I haven't had any more problems with standby. I was able to install my cabs by downloading them to main memory and installing them, so it definitely appears to be an issue with the way it is reading the SD card. I checked it out, and no markings other than miniSD, 2.0GB. Black card - must be a generic. The deal is I have had this problem only once or twice with this SD card with over a DOZEN roms, and never this consistent. I remember it being alluded to earlier in this forum, and I think a reg fix took care of it. I will be digging, but any help is appreciated - thanks again for a very good rom!

try these steps
1) take out miniSD
2) Soft Reset
3) insert it in
WHen i flash i usually take out SD b4 i flash it. I never had any problems like this before but i am trying my best to produce it on my PDA LOL.

Hi Guys, let me know if i should remove HTC Streaminng Media and put TCPMP in the place of it. I think TCPMP is alot better and it also plays streaming media files. Correct me if i am wrong. I think in my next release i am going to remove streaming media as its 1.5MB and waste while TCPMP is 1.1MB while its really good.
edit: posted tmobile pack for tmobile users.

nycelitemaster you think you can make a cab file of your CommManager i like it better than the one with the active sync

Thanks for trying! Without going into a ton of detail, let me say that I did do the steps you have here before I flashed this ROM - but - I have flashed a bunch of other ROMs with it in and only seen a similar problem one or twice before (like out of several dozen flashed). Seems odd it would happen now when I "followed the book", but I just gave up on the card and reformatted it. It is working fine now.
More importantly, I want to go on the record to say that again, I have used most every ROM out there for the last year - and this is my favorite. Excellent speed, excellent stability, excellent app selection, good free memory, low power consumption - it just does everything I have asked it to do.
I have had a few random "glitches" with it, but it is nevertheless the best ROM I have used bar none. Thank you for your efforts!

[2007-12-17] Q-Mobile 1.1 ROM Final

Attention, this ROM version is now deprecated, see this thread for Q-Mobile 1.2!
5.2.1948 Build 18548.0.7.0
And...without further ado. This should be the final revision of this ROM for a while. All bugs from 1.0 fixed with a couple more tweaks, etc. If you think you're missing something read these posts in full and you'll probably find it.
For AT&T Tilt users...I have had a few guinea pig volunteers I will be tapping later this week in an attempt to make a port for your network. Keep in mind this will be specifically for those users wanting to use radio 14.09 with an AT&T data service plan. If you have a tilt but are not an AT&T customer you should probably just use this ROM. See this thread for information on radios.
Tweaks/etc.
Don't forget to check out the Q-Mobile 1.1 Downloads section in the next post...I'm always updating it with pertinent information as people request features and/or find tweaks, bug fixes for certain configurations, etc.
Upgrade Directions
Install HardSPLv1 if you haven't already!
Flash this ROM.
After first boot, perform a HARD RESET. This is accomplished by holding both soft keys while pushing the reset. You will see a white screen asking you to press the send key to wipe your device; do this.
Why? Because it really *can* help make the ROM run like it should. I confirmed this with Spb Benchmark.
Does it make other ROMs run better too? Yes.
ChangeLog for 1.11
Sounds & Notifications are fixed!
- Sorry about this...there were some permissions issues which prevented them from being selectable. Already upgraded to 1.1 and installed files? No problem! Read this post to see alternative options or why it won't hurt to do a full backup and then restore after upgrading to 1.11 (from 1.1 only).
ChangeLog for 1.1
Email attachments fixed!
- Q-Mobile 1.0 had a bug where attachments in email wouldn't open until you saved them. This is now fixed!
.Net CF 3.5 Fixed!
- Added Net CF Config under Programs\System in case you have to run multiple versions. Almost all apps should work with 3.5 now, but if they don't you can install 2.0 SP2 from below and use this app to decide which runtime your app should use. Remember that 3.5 is a LOT faster so use it where possible!
SQL Server Compact 3.5 is fixed.
- Since only the server core has changed to 3.5 there should be no application incompatibility--but if you need an earlier version they should be able to work in tandem. No configurator is necessary as with .Net 3.5 above.
MS Office 2007 Uprage for File Formats
- Now you can open even more (unconverted) file types! (Think email attachments).
More GDI/Font Cache options in Kaiser Tweak! If you have a lot of graphics on your today screen you can now set the cache even larger than before!
- If you are having an issue with icons loading slowly you can also turn off the File System and/or File System Filter caches--this may help or it may not, experiment to see what works for your setup!
Equalizer 1.02 was removed.
- As pointed out it appears to work but doesn't really. If you think it was working for you check Dutty's cabs below and install it again!
More cleanup with regard to deprecated files.
- This includes the customer feedback application, more registry settings dealing with SQM, etc.
HTC Recorder tweak. (Directory default is now My Audio instead of My Voices).
Camera shutter sound is now off by default.
- This is an option available within the camera settings menu so feel free to turn it back on. I find the camera takes faster pictures with it off, not to mention it was annoying
Kaiser Tweak now has options for more storage card power management settings.
- The internal SD card is now linked to the next option (Pocket IE cache).
Kaiser Tweak has a new option for the Pocket IE cache location which can be changed to be on your storage card.
- Be aware that if you enable this, the power management for the internal SD card *must* be disabled (and it should do this automatically) because Pocket IE will hang the entire machine if it isn't.
Compact List of Features
TouchFLO (finger scrolling) *is* included. FTouchFLO/Cube is not.
.Net CF 3.5
Sql Server Compact 3.5
FULL Video Access (Full YouTube as well as the normal m.youtube.com)
Custom KaiserTweak for this ROM.
Arcsoft MMS 4.2.8.1
Esmertec Java 2007.08.02 (Opera Mini & Google App verified to work)
Microsoft Office 2007 (Updated with Nov 28th Extensions)
Microsoft One Note Mobile
HTC Random Access
TCPMP 0.81 (This is newer than 0.72RC1)

I love your rom, but please leave the clear storage function in your next if it will be any next version It can´t take that much of resources to leave it because my Tytn II is really hard to make a hard reset, sometimes I have to press the f*cking button combination 30 times untill it makes as it should and it is so frustrating - I sometimes feel the urge to throw the bugger into the wall
Othervise I loved 1.0 so this could only be better

Is there a way to uninstall office and the coreplayer ???
I'm french and I prefere install a french office pearhaps without last update ...
I'm working for few days with the first version and I really think it's the best one... i'am glade to see this new version !!!
Go on man !!!!

Haven't tried your v1.0 but I think this is a good chance to test this your latest version! Looks very impressive based on compact feature set and the screenshots! Thanks.

A commercial tweaking utility such as Pocket Mechanic, SKTools or Memaid offer the option of a hard reset, I think...

Ok thanx ! I shall look in SK Tools, never thought of it

I've some .reg file to install but on this rom itsays me that : "there is no application associated with "my file.reg". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"...
Why can't it write on my BDR ???

I haven't installed the ROM yet but you'd need a regeditor to be installed before you can run/associate .reg files... PHM reg editor and Schap's reg editor are some good free ones...Schap's Advanced Config utility is then a good tool to use to associate your reg editor to the file.

Dear Quentin,
Could you specify if the bug "when one turns on vibrate only, and the vibration never stops with incoming calls?" is solved also with this ROM? Thanks a lot!

Won't Cook!
Apparently when I tried cooking using this rom, then flash it, I'm stucked at the "smart mobilty" screen. I'm using KitchenROM 0.3, and I added the HTC Task Manger and Network Wizard. Any ideas?

I found one bug that is bugging me Can´t change the sounds for incoming sms and mail. The list with sounds is just emtpy even though the wav and wma files are in the windows directory. Only me getting this?

Very good ROM
I have to admit that after flashing all ROMs in this forum this is the most responsive one. It has exactly what I need.
The only thing I noticed that is not working properly is the shortcut on HTC Home for the backlight.
Is it possible to fix it?

Overview of the many roms created here and a vote for the best rom for the Universal

Guys there are a lot of roms created by the genious minds of rom cooks here. id like everyone to share there view of the roms overview and a vote for the best rom cooked for the Universal. Sounds fun huh!

my list (sorry if I missed anyone)
ROM really depends on your needs . If the cook has put in the apps you use, go for his rom. Otherwise it takes up more space adding your own apps - or alternatively go for rDosti/B&L vanilla and add all your own.
The free memory is important to me (being a 64MB Uni owner!!), and I have recorded the free memory on a clean install with no SD card in.
I want working camera, TCMD TCPMP and Route66N7 to work properly (which likes its memory!). I don't use wkTask, but prefer QuickMenu or currently playing with Battery Status (but after making own theme with weather, this took up too much program memory, and although looked nice I decided that I needed functional and not eye candy!). Fast is also good . I also need my Blade BT headset to work with my BT GRPS mouse.
My observations (in no particular order):
Tomal 7.7 OS 19900 (19900'2), 27.8 MB free (program memory) here
-this is stable and has all apps I like *my favourite* (also has flash-disk)
EFN 2.4 OS 19588 (19900'3), 27.4 MB free here
-seems stable, need to add few apps (eg, TCMD, TCPMP), but has VC - keeping my eye on this! (more of want than need as I don't get 3G at home!)
rDosti 9 OS 19188 (19174), >33.9 MB free here
-seems stable, vanilla so need to add all apps you want (incl. Word, Excel, .NET etc). Built on my old favourite ROM from thingonaspring (below) - but with same problem. Can't get Blade (BT headset) to work
PDAVIET 2.61 OS 19949, 28.6 MB free here
-hangs occasionally, couldn't change alarms
-not a rom cooker on this forum, so feedback is useless from here!
Mo3ulla 1.5 OS 19588, 26.97 MB free here
-seems stable, but was disappointed with free program mem
Thingonaspring 41.28 OS 19188 (19174), 29.8 MB free here
-stable, excellent free memory, settings/buttons had no lock or backlight, some components getting old (TCMD) - has real VGA (if you like that sort of thing!)
-seems to have stopped cooking any more universal rom's - anyone heard from thing?
JWRights here
-no information, except was slow in dealing my cards in Patiences game
Beasty&Laurentius 2.08.01 Business here
-they also have newer test version and older FullFlavour/Vanilla versions, and were my favorite cookers
-beasty still pops back to help, and may produce newer rom, but has gone on to some wierd htc machine​Advice: pick your ROM(s), and help the cookers sort out bugs & features by encouraging them - and they can use this information with others too.
Hope this helps someone

great
thanks jonmorgan for your effort and views. come on guys more overviews will help our good rom cookers to improve their cooking by giving out your reviews of their great and effortfull work..

My vote goes for....
Ranju´s v7.6 & v7.7 definetly!
Cheers!

Ranju's 7.6 here!

Using Tomals 7.7 I must say, eaven after testing some others...
This is the best.
Its stable, fast, i love flashdisk and storage space
for this poll i Vote for Tomal/Ranju 7.7

--- Did you try 9.1 (it has extra support for BT mouse and other BT devices. I would suggest trying that and then letting me know if it doesnt work with your Blade... I believe 9.1 should fix that (the main reason i released it).

great replies guys
man you guys are great keep on helping our friends, the genius rom cookers for their hard work thank you cookers without you all we could never make the universal the way it is today. thanks all guys for their overviews.

That's one of the fastest roms or may be the FASTEST rom ever created for the Uni, and no, the free program memory after reboot is 26-27+ MB with some programs in start up on 64 MB Universal! You guys don't write some stuff before test it

Yes, I can also confirm this rom is THE FASTEST so far for universal, it is very stable and was the only rom that did not give me phone hang-ups, but because it is so vanilla I had a few issues getting some parts of phone to work...so had to switch back to 7.7 rom

This is strange - the total is only 46.27, where-as other ROM flashers are getting their totals much higher. I wonder if Mo3ulla got this higher, the free program memory would also go up.
I don't know how to test speed, except if my card game goes slow

Tomal is the best
I also have flashed tomal ranju's 7.7 rom and its really col and stable but what i noticed is it drains my battery very much is this normal or have i done something wrong?
anyways ranju 7.7 is the best for me.
and guys keep up the great work

Well, Ran's 7.7 is the one I like the most now as he provides me the apps I need. No wasting time to install , just up rom and use. I'm looking forward to the official release of version 8.0 from Tomal. Stable, no irritating problems though there're small problems with my EXEC, not sure whether those happen to other universals.
Cheers!

wm5
im going back to the wm5 aku3.5
my prblem is solved in sdhc driver. damn it it was sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll after all.
ryt now im sticking on video call my uni is lame w/o it.
for cooked ROM probably ranju 7.7
but i got all apps for wm6 the contol panel thing so i used rdosti clean ROM v5-v10
ill wait rdosti v15 it could be 64mb free of RAM i think. joke

nice looking:
pamquang diamond rom
cons: freezes, call slow response. sometimes shutdown automatically..
efn video call- it didnt work on mine
rdosti - lots of memory free but apps its up to you spot wer the good version is because my opera 9.5 build 405 not run on v9.1..
hey anybody cud share a files/hacks to run opera 9.5 on wm5.

That's the main point! Most people didn't try all ROMs and therefore their oppinion isn't accurate...
I've tried all, except rDosti v10 and my favorite are rDosti v9.1 (I don't use because we can't install VCall out cab) (probably the fastest) and PDAVIET 2.61 OS 19949 (the 2nd fastest ROM)!
PS: I don't have problems to set the alarm on PDAVIET's ROM!

Ranju 7.7 .......

Tried Darkforce, mu3ulla and rDosti.
rDosti is my favourite, because
- his ongoing support
- quick problem solving with new ROM
- a lot of free program memory
Only things I miss at the moment:
- Flash disk (where is it? What is it?)
- good BT support (Please leave BT enabled when connection to my GPS!)
But, hey, he's posting a new ROM every day, so maybe next week?

I am Starting to cook for the UNI, i would like peoples input

The story
Ive been on this forum since the blue angel was the new kid on the block and although i lost my old account and had to make this new one Ive got keen on programming and i thought the UNI needs some more life in its forum. Ive wanted this device since it came out and it has way too much potential for it to not be a lovely page, although i don't see many US people here(its hard to use GPRS after HSDPA)lol but i would think that there would be a fair amount of people using the UNI still i hope
My plan
Ive managed to collect a fair amount of build #'s and see the need for some new builds and features build into our devices i would like for people to enlighten me as to what they would like to see in their roms so i know how to start building towards that goal so please everyone give me some incite on what you guys will want and i shall start the building
i will end up having packed & vanilla versions and others upon request
hope to hear from you guys as i will be working hard on this

FAQ,Rom, Version info's
Reserved for FAQ,Rom, Version info's

I'm a big fan of Vanilla's, but I'll include the list of things I usually install on the device. One thing I hope you can help shed some light on is the WM6/6.1 notification queue problem. Not everyone gets them, but there is a problem where the notification queue gets bloated and causes lockups. It seems to only occur in 6 and 6.1. In the meantime, here's the short list of things I usually install to the device:
Arcsoft MMS 5
Esmertec or Intent Java
File Explorer Extension
MS Voice Command
Some type of task manager with a true close option.
Office
PIM Backup
Thanks for asking, and thanks in advance for a great rom.

Uni doesn't support call recording if loud speaker isn't turned on. It would be great if this issue can be resolved.

Thanks mr4r4n,
I look for ROM with most free Program memory. I use nncuong ROM as it has about 31.7M on reboot, and has 21MB FlashDisk - which is most useful.
I like to be able to update programs, so if they're in ROM they can't be updated when new version comes out.
I wonder if it's possible to remove IE to make space, to allow Opera to be only browser. However, I suspect this is too intertwined with the OS.
The things I install are
HTC Tray Applet
AdvancedConfig 3.1
fringWinMob 3.24
Opera 9.5.1660 (VGA)
PocketCM 0.25c
SMSDRFixWM5 v2.0.0beta
Total Commander 2.50
TCPMP v0.81
TodayAgenda 1.1.0.3249
WkTaskL 1173c
VJCandelaLite.exe
Adobe Reader 2.5
FTouchFlo v1.4.1​Oh, and that calculator can be replaced too!
NB. I think Tomal was asking same question as you a few months back: "Custom ROM for you" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411436

Hi,
I do not care so much for the included applications, as I do install them manually when needed, anyway.
I do care for:
- Speed
- Battery life
- Stable build
- Working BT and WLAN
- Support for SDHC cards
Cheers,
vma

Yes I share with you that we are looking for a ROM to be:
- The latest version of WM
- Fast enough
- long battery life
- Stable means not have to restart every few hours
- JAVA, Adobe, ... all this kind of basic applications
- Add-ons application to be in a separate options
- Supports 3G
- Email working properly
thanks,

Thank You
First of all, just wanna say thank you for willing to be one of the last developer for UNI. I think there are only a handfull left. To answer you question, there are still people using UNI. I am one of the UNI loyal user as I still couldnt find a UNI replacement.
For the builds, I dont mind what you put in the ROM, as long as the build is stable, and all basic functions are operatable (VC-tho nobody has ever make it happen in WM6 yet, IR, bluetooth, WIFI, internet sharing etc).

I love my two Universals. Have not yet seen a better device.
I do have an HP iPaq 514 which I purchased recently and I expect a VDA GPS (Toshiba G710) to arrive, but those are more for fun - you do need something new from time to time...
...but the Universal is still the best phone around. There is nothing lacking, except perhaps built-in GPS.
And the screen and its resolution is just fantastic.
Cheers,
vma

I named my ROM 'Allmost Official', because it should appear as an official ROM, because HTC did not release the official WM6.1 indeed. Name of my ROM is same since the time I had Toshiba G900
Now I need only to fix some details, so ROM will be released today or tomorrow

Thank you tslany,
Does it also works stable for 64Mb RAM, G4?
Please let us know what is included on it
Thanks,

With 64MB RAM and Lite version without Chome basic tasks as calls, messages and solitaire works without any problems.
Btw. ROM is online

Thanks! I test with 64mb, hope not slow

I'll give it a try. Was tried wm6.5.1 from luca's kitchen, but having many hangups.
Cheers.

thanks tslany, download it now and try to runing on my 64 RAM, G4. ope can use it for my dailly work
# unlucky me, do not know how many times i try to download but it always show "brocken link" ... hiks ...

Thank u very much Tslany
Downloading right now, but please can u explain what do u mean by B:23060 and C:23420
I have tried 23420 on RHODIUM, and it new contacts client is very nice and productive, it seems from the pictures u have posted that u used the 23060 leak, it uses the old contacts client I think, s it right, and is there a possibiolity to use the new version in the future?

finger keyboard not install, try tomtom but after open setup, switch off phone.
The rom it's not slow, if bug fix with 64mb it's perfect.

Having lots of hungups. Messenger, Bing not working. Switching back to Tomal's.
Thank you for sharing yours work. Cheers.

also lucas 6.5 drain battries....
this rom lite version's camera application cannot start

Pretty
It looks fresh but i think the claimed 10mb of free ram is was too little.
WM6.5 still needs alot of refinement to work well on a 64mb uni. Sticking to 6.1 for now, 23mb free ram on boot, with a number of bells and whistles without being stripped down.

nice one tsalny, keep up the good work
Much better looking than prior WM6.5 versions. (What version do you call this, which start on bottom bar? WM6.51?) And like the Slide2Unlock - -wow!
I'm still testing. Have a small problem with some popup dialogs that I can't see the Ok/Cancel buttons.
Also TotalCommander doesn't quite fit well on screen. I suppose this is their programming, though.
also iGo8 doesn't work, which means I will have to go back until there is a fix.

see post here (it's on the main page XDA-Portal)

WOW!!! What an IMPRESSIVE user interface!!!!
I tried the "pro" version but it left only 3 Mb of free RAM on my 64Mb UNI
so i changed to the "lite" one, and got about 10Mb free..
At first sight, I found the device much more usable then ever before, it's the same style of UI as Iphone. very good!
some minor issue (for example, no "ok" button on some pop-ups, no MMS app...) but globally it's really a breacktrough!
I will continue using it and i'll give you deeper feedback!
By now, many many thanks and my personal congratulations for this great job!

here I am again... well the free ram isn't enough for real-life usage, i cannot have more than 2 or 3 apps open togheter, neither i can use tomtom...
i also found the interface to be unstable, maybe due to the little amount of memory, but i had to reset the device often this evening.
It would be really nice to test some kind of "vanilla" version, just to see if with 15/20 mb of Ram these problems are still there. Do you know if it's possible?
Many thanks again
PS: however the interface is really impressive!!!
