Install the Garmin program and map at My Storage or Storage Card. After flashing you just need to install the Garmin program at the same location and it should work.

Instructions to install Garmin is indicated on Post #1.

oh.
i didnt notice that for the previous version though,
only for this version,
i've reverted back to the previous version,
im back on v1.33 now,

i tried following the Quick GPS fix without XTRA enabled, How to get quicker GPS fix, without enabling Enhanced GPS.
which includes the steps below

If you turn off XTRA, you'll notice that it may require even more than 15-30 minutes to get a fix. Turning on XTRA will shorten this to almost instant fixes...

Many people prefer to disable Enhanced GPS Settings, XTRA data download. This is because 3G/GPRS data connections can cost a lot, especially if you are abroad and roaming.

It seems like Samsung has left some settings turned on in the registy, for debugging purposes, and this makes really slow to get a fix without XTRA data. According to Microsoft's documentation (see GPS Intermediate Driver General Registry Settings) some features like logging can be enabled for debugging, in GPS Intermediate Driver's registry settings, which stays between the hardware and your navigation software.

My experience shows that the following steps seem to improve the time to get a GPS fix, without need to download XTRA data:
1. Go to Settings > System > Enhanced GPS and set both settings to "Disable"
2. Go to your device's registry, and see the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
3. Change the following string values to nothing (don't delete them, just edit them and clear the value):
CurrentLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.txt)
OldLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.bak)
4. Soft-reset your device
5. With File Explorer, go to My Device, and delete the two GPSID_log files you see, and the file named xtra. If you don't soft-reset, you will not be able to delete some of them.
6. Check again the registry setting. Sometimes in rare cases it may revert the settings back - but that's a general WM problem.

After this, if you start your navigation software under clear sky, you can get a fix in a coulpe of minutes, without the use of XTRA, or any other data source, than pure native GPS satellites.

To digg in the registry there are many free and shareware tools available, I can recommend Total Commander CE, which has a registry plugin.

Also noticed (but this may be really subjective) that flipping the device with the back upwards, while waiting for GPS fix, improves reception a bit - it seems like the internal receiver antenna is oriented to the back of the device... but if anyohe has dissassembled the Omnia can confirm or infirm this.

but i was not able to find the GPSID log files and xtra in step 5 anyon e know why?

When is the release of the new official firmware anyway...

ADD ME

ahhon83 , 16G black color, FMG set - 2nd hand RM 1900

for u all 1 thing they forgot to tell us,

MAKE SURE U COMPLETE DOWNLOAD ALL FILE, CHECK THE FILE SIZE FIRST, IF 90MB, MAKE SURE U RECEIVE 90MB. IF KURANG 1MB... U BOLEH GALI KUBUR.

this thing happen to me before, file size is 90mb but my computer download 82mb only. my experience same with u bro.....

after reaching 100% my omnia stuck on "samsung logo" & nothing happen for an hour....so i soft reset but nothing hapen also,so i unplug the cable,take out battery put it back in and presto! dead omnia!! can never power on again.....only got red light at the "power" button..

Just flashed to HK3 yesterday, follow step by step, no problem occurred, thx god.

Still noob here, tryin to familiarize with the omnia, first time using winmo. Feel hard and complicated and very confusing as well.

Anyway, got few question to ask though i hv alr gone thru the every threads (in very quick mode):
1. Is mapking free? Or need to 'ahem'?
2. is spb mobile shell 2.1 free? because i see someone sayin in order to install latest version, u should hv v2.1 installed first. Or must 'ahem' as well?
3. The sms and contacts are store in phone memory or storage? because even though flashed to hk3, the free memory seems low, only 40+mb.

Anyway, very happy finally can be an omnian here after few months looking at the threads.

thanks

what firmware are u using?
since i upgraded to the new one (HK2), my gps locked quite fast within 1-2 minutes..no need to do this tweak..

guys, im thinking of switch to omnia , but i heard that the earphone of omnia is by USB ?
is it a limitation to user?
how much does it cost to buya new one if spoil...

I see.....
Thanks for the suggestions............

*Currently installed SPB Mobile Shell, and I really like the interface

The only port avaliable on the Omnia is Samsung's USB port. But they did include a 3.5mm adapter (with mic) for u to plug in ur favorite earphone.
I'm nt sure bout the price of the adapter. Maybe need to ask the sifus here....
