i think Samsung still testing the firmware until they find the most stable one..then only they will publish it online..or maybe not..tongue.gif

see how many revision they have made..

from F1, G1,G3, G4, G5, H1, H3..

hope to see more widgets on new firmware..
or just make it open source..that would be better i think..

there was an update on SPB Mobile Shell skin for Omnia..

http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.htm

"Customizable SKINs for Spb Mobile Shell 2.1
With this tool you can customize "on the fly" (without soft reset) the look of your Omnia mobile phone launcher application, choosing from different basic skins and a from several background alternative images.
Extra options are available to refine the final aspect: menu launcher buttons, analog and digital clocks, weather icons and more.
The plug-ins are continuosly updated, so stay tuned to get the last release."

just install spb mobile shell 2.1 .. but i cant find where is folder "SpbMobileShellSkins" .. anyones can find out?
*
hav u download the skin pack from here, http://www.imarche.net/omnia/download/SpbM...ease1.2_ITA.zip ?

After that just follow this instructions

QUOTE
Installation Instructions:
1) DELETE the previous SpbMobileShellSkins folder inside
"My Storage" (or "Storage Card")

2) Extract the .zip file into the "My Storage" (or "Storage Card") memory root; the folder SpbMobileShellSkins will be created (again).

3) Enter in \My Storage\SpbMobileShellSkins\Scripts folder
(or "\Storage Card\....")

3.1) IF the script icons are not the MortScript symbol (a letter "M" inside a gray color page) execute MortScript.exe inside the same folder (the yellow icon) - this write in the WM registry the association between script files with .mscr extension and Mortscript. A message like ".mscr and .mortrun extensions registered......." should appair.

3.2) Apply the language patch.
3.3) Execute the script named "InstallMenus.mscr" to create registry keys for options "Games" and "Navigation" into the Spb MS launcher menu and the "Spb Skins" sub-menu inside the Tools option.

4) Execute one or more scripts (Kyro*.mscr o Luna*.mscr) that you can find into the Scripts folder to create a direct link inside "Spb Skins", for faster skin switch.

Execute "Original.mscr" if you want the possibility to come back to the original Spb Mobile Shell skin.


Points of attention:

- If the link into the Spb Skins sub-menu doesn't work, delete it from the Spb Mobile Shell settings and create it again tipping on the relative .mscr script from the Scripts folder.

- If in your windows mobile device the "Program Files" folder name is not the italian name "Programmi", edit the value SpbPath in the Scripts\options.ini file, set for example (english):
SpbPath=\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell
or DOWNLOAD the Localization PATCH for your language from the official web site.

- If you want to install the skins into the optional storage card (micro SD) set into the Scripts\options.ini file the value:
SkinPath=\Storage Card\SpbMobileShellSkins

when upgrading a firmware, only the phone memory will get wiped right? the internal 8GB/16GB storage will remain untouched right?
*
yes..but i just manually clear all my storage (backup first)..
so everything is fresh and virgin tongue.gif

oooh, is it recommended to format/clear the internal storage (after backup) before proceeding with the firmware upgrade?
cause i took it to samsung to upgrade my firmware to HH1, they did format everything. but before this when i upgrade myself from G3 to G4, i just follow the instruction written on the samsung website. that time i didnt format/clear my internal storage, nothing happened also leh
*
actually is not necessary to clear up ur built in storage (8gb/16gb)..
the only thing i did is i do hard reset my main memory before i upgrade
this is just an extra pre-cautious step..smile.gif

hmm...

1) agree
2) agree...but when driving very difficult isit?
3) sd card getting cheaper now adays wor...if sd card ko, can jest change...
4) touch feedback==>can explain r..kinda alien to me!!
5) n95 oso got, but got more. shake n read sms, etc
6) n95 can play all movie. try coreplayer/mplayer

haiya bro, i still not very convince la..ahaha tongue.gif  (hope i dun get kill by u guys!!)...
think most probably will wait till price drop...but sure prefer omnia den htc diamond or even iphone...
*
In general talking about Symbian & Windows Mobile :

if u feel the touch screen is not really important 4u, then u can stick with ur N95..
for me i really need the touch screen especially when browsing internet, navigating & typing..
u dont need to press button 1 three times to get 'C'..just an example..tongue.gif

and there are a lot software u can get (freeware/shareware) + people support..
give u flexibility to customize ur windows mobile according to what u want..

additional good things
------------
a) wide screen 3.2" compare to 2.6" n95
- u will fall in love with the big screen although resolution on 240x400
- watching movie will be fantastic
b) bigger storage 16gb + storage card 8gb
c) slimmer & looks elegant
d) touch feedback is something when u press the screen it will vibrate..only applicable for some apps..

DOWNSIDE
-----------
i think camera on N95 much more better than Omnia in term of quality..
some more VGA recording on Omnia very bad...
no directional pad..

any feedback from u guys?
i need help,
please u guys...

1. is it normal whenever people were to call me, the ringtone is like some sort of ascending, which means, it is slow at first, then after few seconds the volume is increased. is it always like that?
It's a feature from Omnia..dunno about other Samsung phone

2. is it possible to browse internet from the device and i would like to have the display like browsing internet from pc? i dont really like viewing it like a mobile phone.
Yes u can..by using Opera (the preinstalled app). The display will be same like desktop.

3. how to use gps?
u need GPS software like Mapking or Garmin Mobile..
otherwise u can use GoogleMap but it require u internet connection


4. can i download different themes for my device?
if u talking about windos mobile nothing much u can do except u change today screen color, background and text..AFAIK la..
try look at this site http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/extended.asp
Anyway u can install 3rd party apps like SPB Mobile Shell, iFonz, Throttle Launcher, Winterface where it will give u an alternative interface for ur Omnia

About the battery drain, i changed in Settings --> Phone --> "More" tab --> Band Selection --> GSM 900/1800, now the phone sign is "E" constantly, it won't keeps changing between "E" and "3G", now the battery level looks good...

for those without this problem, please confirm the signal strength and not only confirm the usage, just want to confirm this is cause by the poor signal reception affecting the battery usage.

For me yes, my office having poor signal reception, and keeps changing between "E" and "3G" depend which part of the office that i go.

last nite after fully charged (12am) my Omnia, i forgot to turn off wifi..
when i wake up @5am, the battery already left 50%..the device feels hot..
now 40% already..

tonite will try again...
