OK, tested it. Not exactly to my liking though. The layout is crude. Not as refined as Garmin Mobile XT. Maps are also not as detailed as MFM and MSM maps.
Looks like its more suitable for Singapore maps.
GPS lock on is about the same as Garmin's.
However, I need to set the GPS baud rate to 9600 for NavFone and 57600 for Garmin. As for me, I'll stick to my trusty ol' Garmin.

Too bad I'm staying on the other side of M'sia.

you can turn off the stock lock screen by going to Samsung's 'Setting'->'Display & Light'->'Lock Screen' and untick 'Lock when device is woken up'

thanks a lot dude.. that was a fast update!!
so we shall stick to Garmin

This might help SMS Tweaker or you can download Vito's SMS-Chat

The satelite lock for Omnia II is pretty slow on Garmin Mobile XT despite having XTRA/A-GPS support. Not sure if it works better on other software.

Thanks bro, this solve my problem

It is quite slow for the first startup. I guess its the weak antenna inside. When I first used the GPS it took me more than 10 mins to get a lock. After that it only takes less than a minute.


Crayon Physics and Asphalt are somewhere in Modaco forum. "Search".

setting-general setting-display and light-lock screen, then u can disable it.

GPS lockdown speed is hardware matter,not software.
regardless of whether u use garmion or agis,the lockdown speed should be similar..
o ya...did u guys notice the gps extender slot when u open up the back case?
looks like those in my old dopod d810..

Couldn't agree more.

Yep, I have noticed the GPS socket. Its an MCX connector. I have an external GPS antenna but I have no idea how to plug it in while keeping the back case closed.
A future custom or extra enhancement back panel, maybe?

owh this is something new, even I didn't realize the socket... hmmm hw shall it be used eyh

interesting. i maybe interested in this device for my next try. i wanna test the gaming capabilities though. anyone available for a meet up in TTDI / 1U area? wanna install some games and test the hardware acceleration. will leave whatever i install in your phone

btw, why dont u guys use the standard 6.5 plug in instead of that touch wiz?

also, where do u guys go for your cooked roms? for HTC we go for XDA devs. for Samsung? are there any cooked roms?

For ROM - http://www.modaco.com/category/410/i8000-o...000-modaco-com/

Currently I have not come across cooked ROM for Omnia II yet. But Samsung seems to release their ROM quite fast. At times, 3 times a week.

Diamond 2 - small screen + lower CPU.

Firmware - Post #3 - Do this at your own risk
