Hi guys. I'm just about to receive my Omnia phone so I wolud like to ask a few questions those of you who have used the same phone. I've used other Win Mobile phone but dont really know much about the Omnia. I've seen ppl talk abaout changing the ROM. The what?? Why change the ROM and how?
On my other Win Mobile, I used SPB Mobile Shell 3. Can this be installed on Omnia as well?? (as I dont really like what they have done with the today screen on Omnia).
What are the "must have" programs for Omnia you would suggest? And, what are the "donts" for Omnia??
Are you all happy with this phone??
If I have posted this message in a wrong folder, I apologize. Thank you

Alek,

If you don't know what ROM is then I suggest you don't try to change a ROM.
Even though it made more safe it can still brick your phone completely if done without understanding.

SPB products also work on Omnia.
But you can always change the today screen in Omnia. I find the best to be Samsung Today plugins. They are faster than others.

The "must have" - familiar yourself with the http://omnia.modaco.com forum.
A very good thing to Omnia is the RotationService and TouchResponse (search them in modaco) - configure to your liking.
The "donts" are just don't install apps which are not for WQVGA or QVGA.
(and don't throw it to water or bang it on the floor)

The rest do as you please, enjoy the phone. I know I do.

ROM is phone firmware (software) and how zagzag99 say, if you dont know, better is to not change... if you buy new Omnia from store, most probably is latest official ROM already in Omnia...

for download online official upgrade (if available) go here

You dumb cunt, go and join a Samsung Omnia forum...new thread for nothing..faggot

Changing the ROM is changing the phones firmware. To change the ROM you need the guide at modaco omnia. Follow the guide exactly and there should be no problems. Apparently it is really hard to upgrade the ROM if you use Vista, so if you have a XP computer your lucky. By changing the firmware the performance of the Omnia is better, as the default ROM is inadequate comparitively. SPB Mobile Shell 3 works on Omnia like a charm. "must have" programs I'll suggest is OmniaOrientation, to me it is better then RotationService as RotationService requires you to do more.
