Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks

My Omnia froze up yesterday, and Verizon's solution was to simply replace it. If you want the specifics, you can read my blogpost on the issue.

Instead of crying about it, I'm just going to view it as an opportunity to streamline my hacks and mods. We'll also see if Zagg's replacement policies are as great as everybody's been saying.

So anyway, I was going to shoot a PM to Adrynalyne, since he seems to be the king of solutions on this thread (I guess I shouldn't assume you're a "he," but I've never met a female as into tech as Adrynalyne seems to be so....).

I figured the answers would be helpful to everyone, so I decided on a post instead. So here goes:

Adrynalyne,

1. What's your RegEdit prog of choice? I was using Total Commander and really like it, but I thought I'd see what you're using before reinstalling.

2. Do you use a third-party interface like TouchFlo or SPB (it seems to me that you're using Today 2, but I thought I'd check).

3. Is PocketShield your screen lock of choice? I hadn't been using one, but am thinking about starting, just for the clock (since Today 2's clock is sooo freaking horrible). PocketShield and S2U2 seem to be the superior choices, but I'm not sure which I'll go with.

4. Do you use any program launchers or other plug-ins from your Today screen?

5. Do you know how to abolish the System Tray (tiny icons at bottom of screen) without simply "exiting" those running programs... I'm talking actually remove that tray (in order to increase screen real estate)?

6. What Contact Manager do you use? I was using PocketCM, and really liked what I was seeing (animations and functionality were great), but it didn't "default" as cleanly as I'd like it to.

I think that's it for now. Thanks in advance, Adrynalyne! Hopefully you've got a moment to enlighten us!
