I'm waiting for my XDA Exec to come
Can anyone suggest a good ROM with long battery life, short of bugs with lot RAM memory for a good start with Uni? I'm not new to Windows Mobile but only to Universal's forum and don't know much about ROMs for 64mb RAM mem. Every I find new is for 128mb recommended amount of RAM.
No matter if it's 6.1, 6.0, 5.0 but 6.5 takes too much memory for 64mb RAM device i think and wouldn't be good but i love colour background in menu
Go for Tomal WM6.1 8.2 or 8.5 versions
Those ROM´s are very stable and good performance and battery life
Yep!
Tomal dose amazinbg Stable and quick running ROM
I'll have a pdaViet ROM but don't know what one exactly for that moment.
Just waiting to come a parcel via mail.
PS. Someone will ask me why I bought Uni not something new
It's one of the best PDA at low price (toshi g900 is good too but have smaller screen dimensions) and I bought a modem so WiFi and big screen would be good to Internet browsing and a hardware keyboard is good for that too.
Well to suggest i'll go for Tomal or Luca15thebig. as they are the 2 most active chefs here in uni so you can expect lots of surprises from them...
Thanks for your help guys
I'll test Tomal and Luca15thebig roms. PDAViet Rom that I have now is good too, without bugs and Ram almost always stay on 27mb free. Don't know how's with battery life because my ac adapter came broken and I have to wait for a week to change to another.

I'm using Tmobile + SDhc support on wm5 - the fastest, most responsive and most stable rom I've tried so far. Being using it with 8GB for some days now and no hang up, everything just works smoothly fine. If only someone could add flash disk on it, this would be definitely awesome!!

yes wm5 roms are stable as it was originally used in uni.. but wm 6.X were ported and does add more functionality are fast and stable depending on the rom... well it's the matter of personal judgment so some might like wm5 some might like 6.1 and some might like 6.5...

At the moment, I'm using hx2490 with 1.02 ROM from hx2490b. It runs fine so far except some annoying Acrobat Reader bug and some problems on other apps. XDA II is quite cheap here and I see a lot of progress in WM5. I would like to know if WM5 in XDA II has anything better than my current device to make me consider switching to it (I have cell phone so don't count about phoning). Is it really fast as WM2003?
Thanks.
no 2005 is slower then 2003(se)
on any device not just himalaya
it have more eye candy
ms dont feel they have to optimize as much
when faster and faster cpu's comes out
2005 devices in general use flash as storage
and thats slower then the ram 2003 flavours use
so as faster no
but it dont loose data at hardreset
and got some nice features here and there
i just flashed the wm5 rom on my blue angel. (XdaII)
to be precise this one
Helmi_WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3.2_16mb_bitpool_32mbRamdisk
i'll tell you now this RULEZ!!!
i dunno about all the techinical malaki but in reality when i'm using this i find that it runs just as fast as wm2003se because of mamaich's wonderful find about sum pagepool memory watever.
all i know is that without overclocking its just as fast and with a few tweaks with pocket hack master 2006 i get it at almost 600mhz and it is definately MUCH zippier.
i tell ya ppl may ***** about the 2005 slowing down n stuff but in my experience it is definately worth it.
neway hope that answers ur question
l8r
Could you tell me about pocket hack master 2006?
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7258
thats pretty much everything u need to know without buying it n tryin it out, beleive me its worth every cent!
u can scan for speed settings, it takes like 20 mins but when its done u have heaps of speeds to choose from that u set as favorites to quick select from the toolbar. its really simple to use and i think quite powerful.
for example it used to take me 5-10 seconds to load roms on 2003se from storage using
pocket gba, now on 2005 with phm it takes around 3 seconds.
and u can put the speed down to save battery. even if ur using 2003 this tool is well worth it...cough*it pwnz xcpu scalar*cough
Hi ive noticed that some users still have v8.5 and some have flashed back to this after trying some version of WM6.5 so was just wondering what is the reason for using 8.5 and not updating to 8.9, Is there anu bugs or better features etc etc.
Also curious of opinions on the best overall WM6.5 rom for a 64mb uni.
Well
I can say I have tested almos all
So in general all versions are very good
8.2 and 8.5 are very stable, fast and exelent battery life
8.9 is also very good but as has more visuals is a little bit slower than the other versions
6.5 is fantastic!! wonderfull visuals new UI good battery life but is not as fast as the others (6.5 eats more RAM and program memory)
My recommendation is test all! and decide for yourself
i think 8.90.... for 64Mversion....
I personally like 8.9, but until then went through all Tomal's ROMs from way back when it was still Ranju. I have 6.5 running on my testing Uni, I am unable to use it in everyday life due to RAM restriction, it means most of my programs don't run and I am out of memory even without anything fancy running. I quite liked 8.2 and 8.81 as well.
I have a separate folder in my WM folder called 'Tomal', it has a collection of Tomal's ROMs
I flashed 8.9 and 6.5 but I came back to the one on my sig.. to each is his own I guess.. 8.81 is fast enough and has reasonable free space to load apps.. for me at least..
Hi!
Is someone working on a new windows version for Uni? Where are the CHEFs? It's been some time now that we have no new version for our beloved Uni. It seems that either the CHEFs are busy working to bring something good for the Uni or have the great CHEFs departed the forum. Please, do come up and let us test something new, to enjoy a new build of WM6.5 or WM7.
Looking forward to have something tempting for our Uni.
Yes, it would be nice to have a new ROM!
Tomal still active, I read a post from Thingonaspring too.
Hope they have something on the oven
Things are slowing down big style on this forum though, Im just starting to go through all the roms to find the best to suit my needs and stick with it. the only thing i was considering was the 128mb upgrade IF its worth doing, not sure on that one though. anyone who has had an upgrade would like to comment i would be grateful.

@responderman
If you want to find out what 128mb is like, just flash a 128mb rom to your 64mb uni. It'll work fine and you'll be able to see the benefits of having no pagepool (it's a lot quicker). The only drawback is that with no memory management the phone will crash a lot when memory fills up. So just do a test, see what you think then flash back to 64mb rom.

I guess no as the minimum specs are too high for WM7.

this is not good, looks like i will be getting HD2 then.
That's not good at all, but I like the QWERTY keyboard and form factor of my Universal, so I will stay with it HD2 is good hardware platform, but it's not for me.
true,
Uni has good features, like a Full QWERTY key board.
which the HD2 dosen't do,
Although HD2 has bigger screen, Bigger Memmory, Better Camera, Touchflo 3D G-Senor
Whic are the main things i really now like :/

Same here, no keyboard is no interest for me, even if it´s a 1ghz processor...
I have a Rhodium and it´s great but still miss the great form factos of unbeatable Uni!!
hello I wanted to ask you what is the second most stable ROM for HTC Universal with Windows Mobile 6.5? without having problems?
On my personal experience Tomal v10 is very stable
Not too much memory left if you use titanium but it´s quite ok
Unless you have upgraded your RAM to 128 MB, you're better off using 6.1 builds. The difference between 10 and 30MBs of free RAM is a lot of resets, unwanted program exits and problems.
Edit: Also, why second most stable? You don't want the best?
Tomal v10 is very stable
Hi guys, i have kind of finished with flashing roms on my tg01, i am going to put it at rest on a permanent rom. I have been using the rom in my signature for a month or so. There is a newer version but apparently not stable But this ROM is VERY good, it satisfies most of my needs. However i would like to know if someone could pls suggest other roms they have tried, that suit my needs:
1) Good RAM running Sense, no less than 50mb at any time. (i currently use arto's start removal, and manilla startmenu)
2) Speediness (good considerable speed, less lag etc)
3) Good ROM storage amount on flash
4) Bug Free (least bugs as possible)
5) Good battery life
6) Latest manilla versions (2.5 2016/2017 etc)
7) Stable!! (bug free messaging, prefably wm standard messaging, good sound quality, no random resets)
I am not really that bothered into the OS, but prefably i would pick 6.5
im sorry, does a rom like this even exist or am i dreaming ?
Please suggest me some good ROMS,
Thanks
It seems that you are dreaming
I nearly tried most of the roms here and this one is the best till now
Disabling start menu you have around 55 mb in ram which is very fair, and the battery consumption is good too
wait for k01 rom it can do magic i feel.
Android on way.
