I see so many ROMS out there, by ROMS you guys mean something like WM5 or WM6 rite? Is it safe to use all this? Im currently on WM6, and i want a more funky lookin phone instead of all those boring looks integrated with WM6. Point me to the direction people

It might be a good start for you to TUNE your device rather than flashing at first! There is a lot of stuff out there to make it look neat. One app I really like to run on mine is SPB Mobile Shell.
Flashing a new ROM won't really give you what you're looking for! Think about ROMs like the OPERATING SYSTEM and drivers for your PC. If you get a modded ROM with cool buttons and look integrated you will be stuck with that until you reflash your device. Reflashing your device will cause you losing everything what is on there and you would have to reinstall everything afterwards ... that is a lot of work, trust me on that!
So, better way is to use application to style your phone and get it looking the way you want it!

As topic, wondering if its worth upgrading and are there any problems with it.
Only had my exec a few days lol
Thanks
Stuh, sorry to be an ass - but please have a read around on the various threads.
People are barely containing themselves discussing their own thoughts. Go see what they have to say, and then come back with any specific concerns.
But one way to look at it is - if it's reversible, and safe, then what do you have to lose?

Yeh, I know what you mean, each to their own and all that.
I just need to find it now with instructions on installation, as I doubt its a nice fluffy exe installer
I've not installed any of these roms, so can't speak from experience, but I think that each comes with installers, but not necessarily an installation guide.
I strongly advise you to use an app like SPB Backup and take a full backup before commencing.
After that, the guys on the board have discussed installation of every rom, but I don't think there's a fluffy installation guide.

After checking out the HTC Shadow it looks like the Neo interface is portable to other devices.

1) VOX
2) More interested in the Homescreen. I've seen the touch interface used on non touch devices so why not just the opposite (It's a plug-in dlls, xmls, graphics, etc.).
Think outside the VOX! Couldn't resist!
let's wait for the WM6 upgrade.
I tried to use Imgfs tools to dump this and I couldn't... any pointers here?
I have dumped the rom now I'm trying to separate the apps
any luck with the extraction?
Any luck with this?
We waiting!
We waiting, my friend
Any screenshots of the interface?

I haven't worked on theses phones for like a month and i'm not realy into it, sorry, ROM: 2.09.651.3, I have never heard the term SIP i'm still new to the "PPC community" but I know how to install, reg. edit, stuff like that" when i'm on my computer I use, "My Mobiler" and when I click on the space to type it brings up the keyboard so I cannot see past the 1st line of what i'm typing,
Thx for helping..
Thx for the help 318 viewers..
Retrace your steps.
What apps did you install that caused this issue to arise?
Maybe it is pocketCM? or some settings that have to do with it.
Try recalibrating your screen, maybe it is out of place abit. But now that you are in the ppc community you should learn to take caution of your device and learn to troubleshoot as you go.
i have been looking at phones and have come across the XDA EXEC.
i was wondering the rough price that i should expect to pay for it.
Also wondering if this is upgradable to have windows 6.5 on as that would be pretty awesome.
I also know this phone is old so would there be anything i need to do to update it and are there any good games for this phone?
Thanks
Welcome to forums
You have made a great choice, Universal is one of the Best ever created devices, very advanced to it´s time and to date the best unbeatable REAL keyboard.
Yes, thanks to Chefs & Developers of XDA it is possible to upgrade to WM6.5.
Be sure to read the Wiki
And see here approximate costs.
Also check marketplace section, as once in a while you can get a great deal
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
could you post some images of windows 6.5
how fast does it run on windows 6.5
and could you put htc sense 2.5 on top of the windows 6.5?
But thanks so much for replying
Here how my Uni looks with WM6.5

It will run a bit slow but acceptable, I am using it with no issues.
you can´t install Sense 2.1 or 2.5 it will simply won´t work on Uni.
But if you are looking for a faster ROM better try Tomal 8.2, 8.5 or 8.9 all in WM6.1
Good luck,
is their anyway to get a flash browser on this device as that would be the cherry on top.
again thanks fort he quick reply!
First and foremost, hello to all the Opal community!
I have been around this forum since maybe January, when my brother gave me his VIVA.
I've already tried pretty much every ROM out there, and have ventured into the world of cooking myself.
So, after reading a lot of tutorials and customizing a lot of settings I have made a working 6.1 ROM, real simple and lightweight, after this one I'll try a 6.5 ROM.
The issues I'm currently facing are:

I would like this folder to not be created upon boot, but this is the simplest of my problems.
This one is pretty self-explanatory, maybe an issue with the SDK Certs? But I can't find the cab file!
And the last one, these shortcuts on Manila don't work.
I would really like to be helped on these problems if it isn't too much of a hassle, after this step I will go on customizing the ROM and possibly publish it in here of there is interest.
Thank you!
dear friend i think anybody needs a little bit more than what you've said. which folder you mean? and if you mean the shortcuts in operator tab in manila you need to mention!
The 'Games' folder, as I don't have the standard WM games in the ROM.
About the shorcuts, what happens is that nothing happens when I press those buttons.
about the second problem (camera) you have missed some package, I don't remember which, may be one of these:
Camera v6.7.32367.1 False
D Show v2.00.080904.0
HTC Gesture v1.0.32356.0 False
Picture Enhancement v1.50.18141822.c2
Share DLL v2.0.070522.0000
try with adding all these packages and tell me if now camera works. If you fix it try to remove the packages once at time and you should see which package is essential for camera...
Hey there, thank you for your help, it seems the problem was in the 'm Hub VO' package, whatever that is :s
