The FINAL ABSOLUTE NO BUGS HTC Universal WM6 ROM
Sorry - had to split it into 3 parts - webserver has a bit of a bug...
Here are the parts:

ENJOY!
Now that you have opened the links in the above post you will have the 3 most important pages\tools in the Xda Dev Forums..
In case you don't know what they are, the links go to:
Midget_1990's announcement (on the top of this section of the forum) <<< Read the announcement carefully
The Wiki (Click on the picture of the Universal to go to the Universal section)
Searching Xda Dev via Google (a bit better than the forum's search tool)
(and if you didn't click on the links - do so!)
How to's
Installing a ROM
Grab the ROM. Usual places are:
Xda Dev FTP's Uploads (Username:xda Password:xda)
TehPenguin's Mirror
RapidShare
WM-Gurus (You need to be a member - DO NOT sign up unless you ARE a guru...)
Read the ROM's ReadMe file (if it has one)
Install the latest version of ActiveSync on your computer
Disconnect your Universal
Get your Universal into Bootloader mode (I'll let you search the wiki for that...)
Connect your Universal (and allow new drivers to install (XP will complain, but just hit 'Continue'))
Follow the instructions that came with the ROM (you don't need to Soft Reset or get into bootloader - we've already done that)
Submitting a Bug Report
Ensure that you have tested every possible fix (Remember: This is a DEVELOPMENT community...)
Search for other fixes or tweaks that you could try (on the wiki, in other sections of the forum)
Find the correct thread (for the ROM version you are using, or the type of bug)
Give as much details as possible. Such as:
Type of Universal (JasJar, Exec, Dopod, etc)
The nature of the bug - being descriptive (ask yourself: "Will people understand what I am saying?")
Any software on your Universal that may be cause the error (or you believe is involved)
If the bug involves your PC (eg syncing issues) - The OS (XP, Vista, Linux(??)) that the PC is running and any software that may be involved (eg ActiveSync Version xx, Office 2003, etc)
Exceptions: If it is a common bug, over different ROMs, then you are permitted to create a new thread (eg for the Bluetooth headsets malfunctioning...)
Dealing with n00bs
BE POLITE (they may, one day, grow into contributing members... or even developers!)
Find the correct answer to their question (keep reading... it gets better)
DO NOT GIVE THEM DIRECT LINKS
Give them the link to the search page with the results. Why?
They will learn how to spot a relevant result
They will learn correct search terms
It prevents them from becoming lazy
If the result is hard to spot, give them a clue (eg it contains the words "Attachements: bubblefixV2.cab")
Encourage them to learn and share their knowledge (such that they will learn the pain of n00b questions)
Insert a link to this thread, shouting the praises of the "Ultimate, Bug Free" Rom you found...
Extra information / FAQ
Will this ROM work on my iPaq x2932/Asus 454323/Nokia 5110/etc...
NO! This is the forum for the HTC Universal - rebranded as the O2 Xda Exec, I-Mate JasJar, Dopod 900, QTek 9000, etc - The ROMs are specific for these devices and will not work (without serious hacking) on any other device!
I tried flashing - now my Universal doesn't work!!
Reset it in bootloader (hold power + backlight button, now press the reset button), try to resinstall the ROM with my instructions above. If this fails, try a different ROM, if that fails - search the forums
I are tri instl bt hedset 4 mms... no work... fail!... plz help? not work? k thnx
WHAT???? Firstly, SPEAK ENGLISH! Exceptions are made for those who don't speak english as a first language - but this is a forum, not MSN or IRC, so t-a-k-e y-o-u-r t-i-m-e and construct logical sentences. This gives a good impression on those who may help you and makes it easier for non-english speakers (and sometimes those that do speak english) to understand what is going on
My installation of Obscure-Pocket-App-Noone-Has-Heard-Of-Before(TM) doesn't work!
Welcome to the world of upgrading. Try to see if the company has produced a new version, or if there is an alternative. Otherwise downgrade back to WM5...
Finally - if you read nothing else, at least read this:
This a forum of Developers - all things on here are Betas and are (no offence to the find people that make them) full of bugs
If you require a stable device stick to the latest WM5 official release from your provider
Also, upgrading the firmware to a non-official version voids the warranty - SO BEWARE THE RISKS AND USE ROMS CAREFULLY
- And one last thing: Welcome to the Xda-Developers forum!!
(ps. I make no apologise - those that are experienced enough not to need to read this should be happy to see it exists, those that are inexperienced need to read this anyhow)
(pps. Just some stats: at the time of posting Midget's announcement had just over 800 views, whereas the ROM threads had (much) more than 20 000 each - this is just one justification for this post)
thanks. good info.

"Cruel" is some of the n00b questions that we have to put up with (just have a look at THIS thread - the number of people that believe that the ROM is real!)

This is not a joke - it is SERIOUS
Do realise that, in the last hour, Midget's announcement has gained 10% of its total views. This is quite impressive as that last hour constitutes a mere 0.2% of the time it has existed.
Personally I believe that this thread is quite a success...

Pero este tio es gilipollas o que?

@TehPenguin
@Midget_1990
Even if you have a official release it doesn't say it's bugs free
For sample: Why does Windows needs to be updated otherwise?
Cheers,

i dont see any link to the "ultimate rom" . this is indeed a joke on all those poor fellas coming in looking to get the so called wm6 final bug free rom.
Please help me!!!
After flashing my Universal with this ROM, my coffeemaker stopped working and my refrigerator keeps rebooting!

@ TehPenguin
Are you in advertising ?
As I understand, most if not all rom makers enjoy the attention and maybe even adoration they receive.
This, to me is proven by "handing" out their work and asking for replies, in an open forum community.
Therefore they could / should also expect some very silly noob questions.
(I think even the rommakers were ones Noobs themselves)
Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the marvelous work they do, and they deserve every praise they get for that.
But please don't wine.
Greetings,
Wout

And now the topic is sticky !
I have just got a 8925 but i want to add some roms to it: ultimate launch, pocket cm, ifonz, & iphone interface. I am not sure of the best way to do this. Should they be added all at the same time, or do i have to add them one by one? Also i am not sure how to unlock the phone so that I can add these apps to the device. I have searched the forums and I haven't found a tutorial for this.
Any ideas?
Take a better look...
This is the first post on the ROM area.
Everything you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383904
Rom's
These are not rom's ....these are programs.....Rom's ....is changing the software inside your phone...what you are asking , you can find them reading the WIKI. the programs you listed are cab. files.......read the wiki
Peace

I'd go back a stage further - read lots, starting with our forum rules. Don't post the same simple question in 2 or 3 forums - it DOES get you noticed, but pisses off other members who have to read your un-researched drivel twice.
Hi guys im new to the forum and new to winmo. I recently purchased an HTC touch pro from verizon, and contrary to most reviews I like it so far. Anyway I need to do quite a few things, and dont know where to get started.
I need to:
- Update the phone (if i install a new ROM will this update the phone?) If not how/where do i get the updates?
- Install a new ROM - do i need to do this? what does it do which one and where?
- I need a youtube app - where/which?
- I would like any web browsers you think are better then opera 9.5 ( I heard Fennic was fast?)
- I also need step by step instructions to doing all of this please. sorry
PS: Do i need to install the software that comes with phone? if I do, or if I do any of the above, doese it waver the 30 day trial period?
Thanks for any help! sorry its so much!

First off - Why do you feel you have to install a new ROM - you say you are happy with the device. Are you saying this because many people here are flashing different ROM's to their devices so you think you should. You just got your device - you should really learn how to use it first and figure out what it can do for you. Afterwards if you feel you want to flash a new ROM, than the ROM you choose is based on your needs. Follow the advice already given to you and start reading (LOTS) If you don't you might kill your device before really getting to enjoy it.
Opera is a good browser, I have used it - but I am now using skyfire. I just find it quicker. Haven't used Fennic so can't say how it compares
Youtube app - You can watch Youtube using Skyfire - but there are several Youtube apps available throughout these forums. If you do a simple search with Keywod "youtube" you should be able to find some rather easily. I don't use any though because I can watch them though Skyfire.
You probably won't find anyone giving you step by step instructions for unlocking, flashing and installing apps etc... you have already been pointed to where you need to go to learn this for yourself so do some reading. If you have questions after having done some reading about something specific, then ask and people will help but not many people will hold your hand through this.
If you try returning your device within the 30 days with a custom (non official) ROM - you might have some troubles. You will have to reflash your stock ROM back to your device and lock it again I think.
I don't know what you mean - Do I have to install software that comes with the phone. There are many apps available in this forum which you can easily install (many are in .cab format for easy installation. Some in .exe format requiring installation from your computer to your device though activesinc and some are just (place on your device and run it) Take into consideration which version of WM you have on your device (some are specific to WM 6 some to 6.1 and some to 5. Also take into consideration your screan. VGA or WVGA or QVGA etc.. as running an app with resolution different than your device and it will not display properly. If you install an app and it does not work properly or you just don't like it - go to settings - System - Remove programs and uninstall the app that way (works only for cabs or exe's installed) The others you just navigate to where you placed the app and delete it. You cannot delete applications hard coded into your ROM (from what I have read)
There is much to learn in these forums and it is up to you to do some reading and learning and figure out for yourself what it is you really want on your device. As you can see from my signature - I am still running my stock WM 6 ROM.
If I sound like I am being harsh I appologize; however, I must point you to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/faq.php
These are the rules and you need to read the rules - I notice that you created three seperate threads asking pretty much the same thing. This was the first thread started and was in the right section.
You created another one asking the exact same things after not having gotten the response you were looking for (bad move and a violation of the rules) and you created a third asking the same thing but not in quite as much detail (violation of the rules)
We are (most of us) are helpful community; however, you must do some work yourself to learn as much as you can and this will require lots and lots of reading. If you don't do the reading and learning for yourself (you just will never understand your device and what it is capable of and your next post will be titled
"Help - I bricked my device" - You don't want this and neither do we. Read and if you need clarification (because it is a lot to learn and can be confusing) then ask questions about your specific uncertainties. We will be glad to help (except I can't help with flashing ROM's because I havn't ever done it yet) lol
Good luck and enjoy your new device
thanks for all the help man, i should have done more research, the wiki is kinda confusing to me though and i wasnt sure of the different procedures to flashing etc. sorry. One question though, I was looking at downloading a pack of apps from bwone.com called the bowman pack pro, i cant really find much info on it, besides the apps it contains and therefor am unsure of how to install it.

I checked out the website you mentioned and checked out hte Bowman pack pro - Sorry that I really can't tell you much about it or the apps included; however, if it is completely free - give it a shot - it is probably a cab install which is easy enough to install and uninstall. If it is not free or only trial version then use the search function under your name up top to try to find prorams which are equivelant but free on this site. You really should be able to find most things you need through this site. I don't want to discredit the website you mentioned. I have never seen it before so I will leave that at that. I know this site and there is much available for everyone here.
You want cool music players seach S2P or Mortplayer or TCPMP or the new Nitrogen player (all free) or core player (pay) all are really good in my opinion.
TCPMP also plays videos really well (as does core player but Core Player has other codecs I think) There is a special version of TCPMP to run on your device I believe - Use search above.
Check out development and hacking section of this forum for all your application needs. Apps do not have to be designed specifically for your device as I have already mentioned above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
This is link to Development and hacking section where you will find most of the apps and ROMS developed for all devices - Remember ROMS are device specific - Apps are not device specific in general - Check out apps that interest you and read the developers description and program details - It should tell you everything you need to know. Read also throughout the thread to see what others say about the program - How it runs on their devices, bugs found, fixes etc....
Like already said before - There is a lot of reading to do - This is a reading forum but it will allow you to enjoy your device to the max.....
Good luck.
Hey guys.
I'm quite a new user of this forum even though I've read a couple of threads before. Let me have a question then.
I've seen a bunch of apps on google play with titles and descriptions translated with Google translate thingy - I guess you can imagine how horrible it looks So, since I'm Polish, I thought I'd offer some help with translating English stuff to Polish for free (however I wouldn't mind any credits ). Just send me a pm or write here and we'll work things out.
Thanks in advance,
Trzepaczka.
PS
I didn't know where to make this thread so I just posted it here, please move it to the right section if needed.
Cheers
Hello
I have looked in all the forums speaking Arabic, I could not find anybody knows anything about this device never
They could not help me, they did not know many of this device
But I have hope of finding a solution to my problem in this forum wonderful
I want help in how to add Arabic to external keyboard for this device
I want to write in Arabic using the external keyboard to the device and not touch
It has been 3 weeks on the weary search in all the forums, but without the benefit due to lack of experts for this device
Help me please,
I apologize about the markedly bad language and expression
Not sure why you're calling me out specifically... I've told you repeatedly this is an English speaking forum - and I speak English. I don't speak Arabic. I use the keyboard to write, surprise! In English.
So if you want help with Arabic, you are going to have to ask in another forum or wait for someone else to answer you (which I mentioned in another thread that is unlikely for the reasons above).
Good luck.

Saying that people around here don't know about the device is absurd. We don't lack experts here, but since XDA is an English-only forum, almost nobody uses and cares about Arabian and therefore failed to help you in that particular way.
Feel free to let out your anger and turn to elsewhere for help.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
Since JellyBean, it's easy to add custom keyboard layouts, they can be made available to system via a simple application.
For CM11 (which should support Arabic and other RTL languages quite well), I include AsantiKeypad application for that purpose - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960/tree/cm-11.0/AsantiKeypad
But to create an Arabic layout for the Photon Q keypad, it needs someone who's able to understand the glyphs and who's able to create the appropriate map.
If you know an already existing Arabic keyboard layout map made for Droid4, it could be easily incorporated in AsantiKeypad app.
Or try to make it from scratch, I'll merge it if I'll find the time for it and you'll keep bothering me about it long enough .

We are all human beings and there is no need for racist ..

I have the highest thread I did not find a solution in other forums
This is what forced me to put my problem here, because of the lack of experts for this device
I wish I could show some sportsmanship and high morals my friend
This is the forum to help others regardless of cultures
If were not able to solve the problems of others, there is nothing wrong, but I hope not to interfere

True, although this forum is created with only English in mind, you often see people from other non-English countries or people that don't use English around here. I'm a Chinese myself so I partially understand why you're here for help - because we lack help in our home countries' forums.
However, as we're aware that both this forum and Android aren't made for all languages and cultures, even when we ask or answer questions in other languages, the question will be related to the phone itself, like how you fix reboots, how you flash a ROM, etc. These discussions have no language boundaries and can be understood by all.
As of your problem, it naturally involves another language which most people around here don't understand, and you see, forcing devs to learn a language and do the job only to fulfill a single request isn't realistic.
Talking about @kabaldan 's solution, he said that AsantiKeypad can import keyboard layouts, but he also said that there should be an Arabic layout available for importing first, which I Googled for you and sadly found nothing relevant. So, just like what he said, if there's none existing, then you have to find a dev who understands Arabic to write one up for you. Good luck with that.
