I take it you're downloading IJC? As I just tried to transload PDA_I8000NXXIJC.part1.rar the site shows it has already been transloaded and the filesize is correct, 191MB.

EDIT: Didn't realsie you edited your post.. Glad to hear it worked..

I am not sure but assume that the files will be there less than a day... the first site rsplug only gave 1 1/2 hr.
Best is to Tansload and DL straightaway, if large files, well...planning needed....

Yes, you can flash to any version but only with specific firmwares released by sorg and Secany as those are internal releases where there are no security lock which prevents certain upgrades and downgrades.
Do this at your own risk though. If you're not up to it, its best to wait until Samsung release an official WM6.5 update to the local Service Centres.

Yep, anybody tested it yet? Does it have the end task 'X' problem?
From Modaco, somebody mentioned they only notice some improvements at viewing pictures in landscape mode.... Other than that, nothing.
Now using IJC. Until there is a huge improvement over IJC, then it'll be worthwhile to move to IK5.
Lazy to customise the setup again...

He is not the creator the ROMs, more like the distributor for them. He releases Samsung manufacturing default ROMs, not cooked ones.

WOW!. Before you go around paying to get it done, search around Google. The instructions are everywhere and *ahem* free *cough*...
As for maps, there are 3 major maps available for Malaysia, MalsingMaps, MalFreeMaps and the orignal Garmin NT.

MalsingMaps and Garmin NT are not free but *ahem* *cough*......
As for MalFreeMaps...go figure why they add the word 'Free' in....

You can use NoData to disable the all Access Points except MMS to force Opera to use Wifi.
Another reason is that it possible that you may have set your Wifi to 'My Work' instead of "The Internet" during the initial Wifi set up to your router.
Deleting the profile and recreating it might work.

CSC problem can be fixed either by using the new Octans Downloader 2.13 (just used it to flash the new csc on my O2) or using wes' Omnia II Kitchen to extract single CSCs from the original multi CSC file. More details explained in the Modaco forum.

RM2399 is Smasung's Official Recommended Retail Price as well as introductory price. My Omnia II cost that much when I got it back in August 2009.
Should've waited a couple of months. Now for the same price I could've gotten a HTC HD2.... sigh...
Anyway, love the AMOLED screen..

@ lk_chin: Official WM 6.5 version for Malaysia is IJ9. Not sure for the CSC version though. Others say is XSOIJ9 but when I got mine from PDA Expert (that time it was still WM 6.1 but not relevant as product codes are universal for all WM builds) it was FAMIG1 so I am not exactly sure on that one.

Thanks. That clears thing up..somewhat....
Still, my old firmware was FAM, not XSO. Since XSO represents Singapore/Malaysia, what does FAM represents?
FYI, my phone is a unbranded one from FMG.

I have been running my phone at 950Mhz for over a month now. Also with FPU Enabler on.
Any higher than that and I get random crashes. FYI, it is safe to overclock your phone. The worst case is that your phone locks up and requires a reset. No burnt chips or something but of course do it at your own risk...

As a result, TouchFLO 3D ( I am using TouchFLO 3D 2.0) is A LOT smoother as well as WM start menu's scrolling speed.

There are also improvements with other apps, most noticeably is Garmin. It managed to cope up with GPS guiding as well as track recording.
UNO also plays smoother...

Definitely. Before overclocking, my phone's power can last for almost 3 days. After overclocking, its an average 1 1/2 day.
Not really a problem for me as I charge my phone's battery almost every night.

Why not try out Gary Crutcher's new custom ROM (based o February ROM).
Its running on WM 6.5 with 99MB free RAM (he modded pagepool to 8MB) and 144MB free space on Main Memory.

Actually, JA5 is an excellent firmware. What do you mean by original interface?
Is it showing Samsung WidgetPlus, Samsung Today or a third party UI?

Anyway, the "Official" firmware for Malaysia/Singapore is IJ9. Use OCTANS and flash your PDA and CSC (XSOJA5 CSC is a custom CSC, created by an individual. Not from Samsung) section back to IJ9. You can leave the rest as is.

Weel, I had to revert to Kuanchai's JA5 Lite. The reduced 8MB pagepool had a huge performance hit on my phone.

That I am not exactly sure but based on my experience, I aceived better overclocking stability with "lite" firmwares.

I use IM+. Works just as well...
Supported accounts in IM+.


IJ9 available at Modaco, Omnia I8000 subforum. IJ9 is stable.
You can flash eboot and phone also bot not necessary unless you want your phone to be a Malaysia/Singapore stock solid phone. Yess all IJ9.

I have been using Vista and Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) to flash my phone for a while already. The trick here is to set OCTANS to Windows XP Compatibility mode only then it'll detect your phone..

FYI, there are two methods of hard reset:-

1. Switch off mobile phone. Hold these buttons together (Volume Up + Lock Button + Pickup button + Hangup button) until a screen pops up asking confirmation.

2. With mobile phone switched on, enter phone menu and enter this code *2767*3855#

Method 1 only resets internal storage but does not clear "My Storage".
Method 2 clears both.
None of them clears "Storage Card".

The programs will not function properly if you do that. Think of your Omnia II as an actual Windows PC. You can't just simply copy the program folders and run it directly as there could be some dependencies tied to it (e.g. shared system files installed during setup, registry etc.)

As for Battery performance, I have used TouchFLO 3D 1.3/2.0, Sense 2.5.1920/2.5.2011. Now using SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3 with WM7 skin. Never used TouchWiz. Phone can last up to 2 days with occasional usage on 3G. If I use WM6.5's stock Titanium, battery life is longer.
The reason is that 3rd party shells uses Hardware Acceleration (aka OpenGL ES v1 and v2 depending on which shell you are using). Think as if you are playing 3D games on your notebook while running on battery power. Does it drain quicker than usual?
Titanium does not use any hardware accelerator.

Anyway, safe practice is to charge it every night right before you head to bed. Learned it the hard way when the phone battery died out during an important phone call...

*some of you might say that it is not good to charge the phone battery every day as it degrades the battery. Well, based on my experience, I have done this for years with all kinds of phones and average battery lifespan is 2 years. Seems fair enough. Also mobile phone batteries are now reasonably priced unlike last time.

In the phone book, tap and hold on the desired phone number. A menu will pop out. Select "Send Message".

Used to use promt s'skin. Love the animated figure with the heart. Tilt the phone and he slams against the side...
Now went back to default WM lock screen. Had a problem where the lock screen still pops out even after I have plugged my phone to the TV via TV out (yep..I am also using my phone as a portable divx player... )

Sounds like a performance setting issue. During charging mode, CPU Performance is set to High. On battery mode, it automatically sets to Auto.
From what I have experienced, when it is on AUTO my phone becomes sluggish.
Try overriding it by heading to Samsung Settings-> Power and Performance -> Performance -> CPU Performance : HIGH.
The above method applies to never firmwares. If you are using older firmwares (e.g. IJ9, IJC etc.) the Samsung Settings layout is different but the Performance tab is still there...somewhere....

Note though, by setting it to HIGH your battery will drain faster but it is unnoticeable.

Depending on what items are provided. If everything is provided, it should be just shy of RM2.1k. Everything as in:-
1. Phone (duh...)
2. Phone pouch
3. Screen Protector
4. 8GB MicroSD
5. Bundled Software (especially AGIS NavFone GPS Software)
6. MicroUSB Data Cable
7. Wall charger
8. TV Out cable
9. Hands-free kit
10. Software CD
11. Official Warranty Card
12. Samsung Fun Club mini leaflet
13. Unlimited viewing of latest manga releases for 90 days (aka free 90 day subscription). Details on a manga prepaid card.
14. and of course a nice black box.

Well, this is what I got last August '09. Was so into the phone at that time till I totally forgotten about the manga subscription.
Now it has expired...
