VZW Omnia Kitchen Thread MOVED

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

The difference is huge. Drivers are different, so that makes the xip different which can cause a lot of problems on a device that most devs/chefs here know close to nothing about. Different radio (gsm vs cdma) and some people have tried to flash a gsm rom over to their phone in hopes it would work (btw it never will. ever. best case it leaves you in bootloader to flash another rom but we dont have a rom to flash with to fix it. worst case is it bricks). And then, all the tools used on the omnia roms to extract/ repack were written by chinese devs and we have no way of contacting them/ source code was not released. So we dont even know if it will work.

well i ran into problems trying to port the kithen for the i900 over to the i910, bricked 3 i910's in the process. all the custom roms for the i900 were made from a released update for the i900. nobody has tried to build a kitchen/ custom rom from a dump made from said device (afaik), and that is exactly what i was attempting.

I have moved to the touch pro for now, but still have the omnia (it is a nice piece of equipment) and will attempt to build a kitchen for it as soon as we get a shipped rom (released from samsung/ vzw) for the fixed gps and so on. Once we have a working kitchen we can attempt to go deeper and hopefully update it to the latest build of windows mobile that is available, and hopefully integrate into the ppckitchen.org buildos.

Thanks for all the info angel12, maybe I should have explained better though...I know of the problems of trying to use the i900 ROM with an i910, but the tone earlier indicated a question of being able to cook ROMS even with (as you put it) a shipped ROM. Would there be issues with a shipped ROM stopping the development of custom ones, or is it pretty much a given (as I have thought in the past) that a shipped ROM is all that is needed to start cooking?

Thanks again!!!!

Well, its unanswered as of yet. but im hoping thats all it will take. a shipped rom [should] have a radio and bootloader and everything that is needed for us to make a custom rom. i think a lot of the people that flashed with gsm roms are loading up a new bootloader without knowing it and in that kinda screwing themselves.

We at geeks/xda know next to nothing about samsung roms, so its all kinda trial and error hoping that something works. Ive worken up with an idea in the middle of the night that i had to try right away lol, ended up with bricks by morning

[syrguy1969]

[aleis]

man...getting a custom rom will be like making it to zion!

[syrguy1969]

Angel I have no intention of Hijacking the subject but I think this is a group where I may get some insights; I have been looking for something similar on the Omnia i910; perhaps you have knowledge of, or you will be able to direct me in the right direction; I am using the i910 on a diferent carrier (MetroPCS) The Phone works properly but so far I have been unable to make the internet and MMS work.
Using qpst 2.7 rev 254 I have been able to modify some settings and make them stik, but The setting for Simple IP as well as the phonenumber@mymetropcs.com keeps on reverting to phonenumber@vzw3g.com (any change on these fields does not stick)
I wonder has anybody been succesful at getting Internet access working on this phone using metropcs or criket? if so can you please share some information that could help me on this?
I heard a sugestion about using samsung universal pst but so far I have been unable to find a version that supports the i910..... Can somebody tell me if this is available? and where? also heard that the i730 & i760 are similar enough, but do not know if this is the case, please coment on that.
I have already configured all the Windows mobile settings on the device following the instructions for the Sprint Mogul (aka htc PPC6800) but suspect that the authentication problem resides on the NV ram of the device itself.
Please post your comments even if it is to say it is not possible to do it yet.
I am willing to pay somebody for services if necesary.
On my omnia, I found that some settings stick some other do not Stick, some are reverted immediately (or perhaps are never written to the phone) like the UM & AM ;and some other are reverted a few minutes later like the simple IP.
Do you think that we have a daemon running on the background like the guardian.exe on the HTC ppc 6800 Mogul (sprint), that rewrites the default settings???
So here you have what I found:
-Mobile Ip profile:
NAI: sticks (current value)=10 digitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
Tethered NAI: sticks (current value)= Null
MN-HA SPI Hex: sticks (current value)=4D2 Is this your value as well?
MN-AAA SPI Hex: sticks (current value)=4D2 Is this your value as well?
MN-Public Key ID: sticks (current value)=0 Is this your value as well?
-M.IP:
Mobile IP Behavior: Does Not Stick (current Value)=Simple-IP (reverts to Mob+Simp /f/back after a few minutes)
-PPP Config:
AN User ID: Does not Stick (reverts to 10 digitphonenumber@vzw3g.com)
AN Password: Does Not stick (reverts to NULL)
Um User ID: Does not Stick (reverts to 10 digitphonenumber@vzw3g.com)
Um Password: Does Not stick (reverts to NULL)
-DATA:
Service Option: Sticks (current Value)=Pre 707
-APMS:
Access Overload Class: grayed out (Impossible to change and out of range) current Value=51 (Valid Values are 1 to 15) Any comments on this one???
Best regards

Hey guys just want to say HI and I've got my fingers crossed for some sweet baked Omnia ROMs fresh out the kitchen

Custom ROMs on the Verizon TP are just SO sweet , would love to be able to do something like that with my Omnia.
