Samsung Today 2 screen?

[volsmcfalls]

Greetings all! I'm a total noob to the whole PDA / PPC sceen, so please excuse my ignorance.

My wife and I recently purchased Omnias from Verizon. We really like the phone and interface. But I was reading a review online for the phone and they mentioned using "Samsung Today 2" as the home screen plugin. I saw a video of it on YouTube as well. But, my phone, perhaps because it is from Verizon, does not have the Samsung Today 2 plugin. It only has the Samsung Today option.

Is there a way for me to load the Samsung Today 2 plugin? Is this a ROM issue (though I am not really sure what all the different ROMS mean), or just a plugin issue?

Also, I thought about loading the Touchflo 2D interface onto the phone rather than use the Samsung Today 2 because they share a lot of the functionality. But, I read that Manilla 2D does not work in landscape mode. I use the phone mainly in landscape because I have large hands, so this doesnt solve my functionality issues.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Thanks for the link, but it leads to another couple of questions...

1) do I need all those files, or just the Today 2.cab?
2) How do I install it onto my phone?

Thanks again!

you only need the today2 cab, to install either download direct from your omnia or download to your pc then tranfser to omnia, open up the file and let it install
then to enable you would go to settings>personal>today>items and then select samsung today 2 and hit okay

I was just wondering... if it's at all possible for us to edit / customize the Today 2 theme. You know, change links (switch the Samsung Contacts to that of PocketCM, for example) and graphics / icons...change the clock's font, and tighten the space between the clock/date and the text below (to allow more space for, say - a single line from Ultimate Launch).

I like Samsung Today 2 better than Today 1 and the file you need is already on the VZW i910.

To use it edit the registry to add a new Today item. I found it easiest to just duplicate the settings for "Samsung Today". The only difference is that the dll should be secst.dll rather than minitoday.dll.

I renamed Samsung Today to Samsung Today 1 and added Samsung Today 2.

Now both will show up under Settings - Today

Hi, i would really like to customize this theme too.
I did not see any configuration file or registry key about Samsung Today 2.

Does someone have any idea ?

Edit : contacts are in \HCKU\Software\Samsung\Silver Today\Contacts\

I was wondering the same thing.

I'd like to go as far as open up the .cab file and modify the actual code... anyone know if that is possible? Or even what language this kind of stuff is in? Java, C#, etc.
