Samsung Omnia - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

hi everyone. i like gadgets... who doesnt. i dont like them for their technicalities, some people do though. i like them for the way the look and feel etc. some of you can call me a poser!
anyway, i have the samsung omnia and i really like the black and silver theme that a few folk were talking about. it looks great. however, i understand zilch of what is being said about how to get it to work.
can someone be ever so kind and post a step by step guide on how to get this done? would really appreciate it.
also...if i ever decide to use the gps navigation thing, will i be charged for it?
im with voda and get all gprs data free, i know thats totally diff, but as i said before - im totally daft.

no, read first thread, use google, read your users manual or spam on omnia thread

unhelpful or what!
can someone be ever so kind to help me out? please!!
thanks

The problem is, your asking on the wrong forums...
Xda god bless 'em, are a HTC only forums, and although the hacking and dev forum is a good read they are not really in the Samsung fan club...
Try here instead....
http://www.modaco.com/category/342/i900-omnia-http-i900-modaco-com/
Sorry to link to another forum.... only trying to help..

More specifically... http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-http-i900-modaco-com/273151/change-colors-samsung-menus/
And you should have posted in the "Official Omnia" thread under off-topic as this is a development and hacking forum ...

As already stated this is HTC land and much as I would like to help I have a HTC not an Omnia and dont have a clue.
However check out the link below,
http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php
Its free software that works on both platforms and lets you easily change skins.
It works great but you have to buy SPB Mobile Shell that it works with but you can get a 15 day trial for free. Its well worth a look if you dont want to learn to much and want to try loads of skins.

Hope this helps

HTC-land?
Is the complete xda-developer.com a "htc-land".
Damn!
I thought it was primarily a "windows mobile-land" and definitly not a specific "htc-land".
Sorry guys.
My mistake. Just a pity that I'm not a HTC-owner but a samsung Omnia-owner.
Don't worry guy's I won't disturb the peace in "htc-land" any more..
Krasse signing off...

Can WinMo be flashed onto the Dream (G1)

I was given a TMobile G1. I really like the hardware of the phone; however, I detest the Andriod OS. (I know everyone LOVES it, but I'm not among that crowd) My Main phone is a Kaiser. (Which I have a long running Love / Hate Relationship with) I need Windows Mobile, but I love the G1's hardware layout.
Is there a ROM out there (or is someone developing one) that will let me flash Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro onto the G1 instead of this awful cartoonish OS?
Thank You,
Karl N.
Sadly there is no support for those who can't figure out how to search.
I call this a troller

hmmmm true
Android is the future anyway, if you don't like it as-is just stick with the Kaiser. Winmo won't support the capacitive screen anyway.
Hey - Neoobs - Bite Me
Neoobs, I've been a member of this forum for as long as you. I just don't go around flaming people for posting a simple question. And since I was doing so FROM my Kaiser while on a SLOW GPRS Connection, searching the site wasn't really an option.
It was a valid question. Yes, I have since searched and found the other posts.
So in short, BACK OFF! It's people like you that make this place less and less friendly every day.

If you have been watching these forums your first post is identical to many others that were started by trollers. I don't get your logic and the reasoning behind it. You feel special because your browsing these forums on a phone on a slow dial up speed connection? So that means you can post and ask for help instead of search?
Maybe if you had posted around a couple times you wouldn't be seen as a troller. It is people like you that make developers want to stop helping those who indeed know how to search and use the search function.
In short, don't put yourself on that pedestal just because your too lazy to do the actual work.
Please direct all WinMo question/concerns at this thread.
This thread will be closed.
Thank you

best android ??? need steps to install

im new on this forum, well i was wondering witch android is better, the linux or froyo? i just got my hd2 from tmobile and i want to make it a android phone. also can any one help me out on what i need to do to install android on my hd2???
oh no you didn't!!!!!!!
You should really have posted this in general Android discussion, this forum is for develpment of Android.
But you just need to hard SPL your phone, and follow the instructions posted in the stickies. Not going to bother posting it as it's very easy to find pinned at the top of the forum. Also you will probably want an Evo or Desire based build but that's as far as I can help you, everything else is sort of trial and error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734335
this should help you
This is getting as bad as the G1 forum
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Ban!!!!!!!
I kinda feel bad for how much your about to be owned...
The fist few threads in the General forum explain everything you need to know, and pretty much every build has individual instructions.
Simple answer in there is no 'best android'. Each build will suit everyone differently. Look at the features of each one a pick one you think will suit. You'll probably need to flash a new radio and ROM before hand... spend some time reading and try to get familiar with the whole process.
The best one is the one I use

Do not answer these threads seriously. If anyone wants to install Android then they will read the instructions that have been there forever or do a google search for one of the million pages out there. It's one thing to help someone who is using their own mind to think. It is something completely different to help someone who expects you to do the thinking for them.
In short, dont encourage this behavior by responding to these threads with a serious answer. He violated forum rules by making this thread.
thread closed buddy,
Find the build that fits you best.

Just post a photo---CM7 running on Milestone 2---

Link: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-1436039-1-1.html
A guy post this photo in gfan bbs, without any comment or announcement........Even we ask him............So we don`t know whether it`s fake or not.........Could anybody here find out some evidences (maybe the photo is PS )from this photo to prove it`s fake?
Need to mention one thing,this guy once try to post a thread ”About porting 2.3 to Milestone 2“ in 5/13/2011......Due to some reasons, he gave up doing this.....
This is the thread he tried to post: http://bbs.gfan.com/viewthread.php?tid=1357845&highlight=+封吧我潜了
Update:
I got some news. This guy may use the same method as Mikevhl`s. Now, one of his friends told me Many thing in this ROM are not working , probably mean GPS APN and etc.
Latest information:
Minutes ago,I chat with him through private message,he told me, due to some reason other than profit, he decides not to release his method and related resource...... And he also said Chinese do as well as foreigners in hacking.
Though it is not enough to prove the photo, but if what he said is true, I just want to say: very very very pity.....................
Now I`m still trying to figure out what is happening.....
If I figure it out, I will let you know in no time.
probably just a screenshot of other devices running CM7 with a modded build.prop? just blind-guessing

Translated. Looks real, or at least I want to believe it's real =/
I think it's fake, but I can be wrong

I did notice the thread in gfan too (yep I read Chinese). What could the reason of not releasing the method be? And why was he banned frequently? Very mysterious...
In the meantime let's have our hope on Mike.
I hope it's not a fake!
Looks kinda real - especially the different menu layout tells me that this photo could be real...
In my opinion, if he really port CM7 to the MS2, he would have made a video! With Photoshop everyone can fake pictures, but to fake a video is really really hard...
So, because he did not make a video, i have always Photoshop in my mind...

Prime rom / dev section rubbish

If this gets deleted or is inappropriate then fair enough.
Can anyone who wants to dispute with each other - the rules - flaming - stupid questions and all that other boring s**t thats been going on in the dev section, especially on Roaches thread............please bring it here!
It wont be bloody funny if the thread gets shut because of all the ping pong bull**** thats happening, i dont give a toss whos right or wrong, or if anyone wants to shout me down or anyone else for that matter. Its just going on and on and on. I for one would be quite honestly embarressed (dont care how u spell it) if it does and i woudnt be surprised if Roach gave it up as a bad joke (not that im speaking for him in any way).
Im happy to report users as well as being reported if i mess up.
The doors open for all the gash in this thread so use it!
As for the dumb ass questions then use q and a section............its really not that difficult.
Thanks

A huge one.
Be patient, you might be waiting for a while for help. Only people who have this clone are going to be able to give you any meaningful help based on their experience with it, there aren't many on here (we see a handful a week). Maybe search for similar threads & see if you can dig up some info (search 'China S4 clone'/similar). It's not even remotely the same as I95x phones firmware-wise at least.
