Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Hi again guys:
Does anyone have a link or something to download Adobe flasplayer for Windows Mobile to the Omnia?, all sorts of sites need it to run properly, and I can't find an option for Windows Mobile at Adobe.com, any ideas?

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Try here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+mobile+flash+player

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Try using Skyfire Browser. It can play streaming videos and such

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

wish it were that easy

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Yeah, I missed the part about it only being for WM5 & 2003. Might try checking out this thread on xda-developers:

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Flashlite 3.1 is about the closest you will get to flash on a phone right now. Otherwise, Skyfire is needed.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Device won't let me access when I use the HKLM to change the touch screen.. Says 'Access is Denied' Any clue whey that would happen? Great tips BTW!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

there should be a tab that allows you to unlock your whole registry.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Thanks for that one, I like the skyfire browser a lot! :headbang:, however when I play Youtube on it, I get no audio ](*,), is there a reason for this?. Also, do you know how I could assign skyfire to the Omnia's live! access?, thanks again!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

When I set my phone to manual rotation via a button, it only rotates from portrait to landscape by rotating 90 degrees clockwise, then if pressed again it simply goes back 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the original alignment.

Does anyone know if it can be set to go from portrait to landscape by rotating 90 degrees counter-clockwise?

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Just download the youtube app. Its very useful. Ill try to post it when i get home

Their TOS gives me pause. The bits about monitoring your browsing, serving ads, and we may ship your data overseas. I think I'll stick to the other options.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

You should see an icon on the bottom right where you can turn up the volume in Skyfire.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

were do i get a registry editor?

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

You can download a free one here: http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

Or search for the .cab file.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Thank you!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

I believe if you go into settings>system>screen you can set your orientation to left or right handed...

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Someone didn't waste any time!!!!

Welcome to the community m4rx!!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Yup I see it, problem solved, thanks for that!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

I had a problem with that when I was using CERegEditor and I had used the tool to unlock the registry, or so I thought, many times. Would also give me the "access is denied" message.

What I ended up doing was bringing up the item that I wanted to edit, rather than just showing the main three items, actually brought up the machine/hardware/touch so that I was viewing the items on it. Then, I used the tool to unlock and . . . Voila!! It allowed me to change.

If that helps. . . . .

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemGDIGLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00008000


Hey guys does anyone know the default settings for the above... My phone keeps on freezing up when it goes to sleep mode. I think this might be the problem...

By any chance does anyone also know the default settings for this...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStorageManagerFATFS]

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

All of my roms are modded, so I dont know, sorry.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Hi, I've had my Omnia for a while now... but one thing that's been bothering me for ages is the Reply SMS Text box size.
I remember reading somewhere before that there is a way to increase it's height so I can see more than two lines, but I can't find any instructions to do so, anyone know how?

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Thank you so very much. Much MUCH better now :D

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Cool, it is amazing how customizable WM is at times!!!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Very strange. I have rotation set to manual via the main menu button. When I set it to right-handed landscape previously the button had no effect any longer. I thought the setting in Screen might permanently set it that way. However, after I soft-reset the phone I see the button is functional again.

Thanks.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Crap, nevermind. The button is working but after you switch it to portrait, the next time you hit the button it goes back to left-handed landscape just as before. ](*,)

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Hi gang:

Do any of you guys know of a good password keeper software that can be managed from a PC through activesync?, I tried Keypass but no dice...

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

For those that don't want the Outlook Email panel in their messaging window, use this reg edit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\Ac tivesync

Delete \Activesync and all subkeys.

Soft reset and you're good to go.

Please, please backup your registry first.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

i need a coach. i have a freshly flashed verizon samsung i910. it is making/recieving calls. i have all the correct settings for metro for the sms/mms/ dialing #777 etc... EXCEPT!!! I can NOT get the password "metropcs" to stick when i enter it into the settings.

All is working purrrfect on it. mms/sms/pic&text/calls/gps/instant messaging, etc.. I have been told that on the omni i910, the password has to be edited via computer/usb cable..reg edit.. perhaps. If i knew what/where to edit i feel confident enough to try it. can anyone direct me with good info, as to what software to use, and where in the registry, i need to edit? I have mobile reg editor, and qpst, and active sync installed, as well as tcmdpocketarm total commander for pocket-pc. i really want to get this phone working, someone please come to the rescue. my email is augierockstar@hotmail.com cell# 707-413-8127...augie. and thanks in advance...

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

I tried the registry hack for changing the default SMS to VITO's SMSChat. This worked well and I like VITO's SMSChat. However, in SPB whenever I open email it starts the default WM interface, and then when I go back to the SPB screen and open SMS it goes back to WM's default text messaging handler.

I like to use email on my phone, and I don't like the standard WM SMS handler.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Okay. For starters, I am just am Omnia owner. I haven't had it long, but love it so far. I know nothing about roms or cabs and frankly you are speaking greek to me. Apparently you are all extremely knowlegable about the software that makes these things work so here it is. Probably the dumbest question you have seen lately.
How do I upload a rom? Is there something that will fix just my volume issues, both for ringers and for in calls? Please help.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

yknoyus....welcome to the community. Don't feel fad about asking questions, we all started somewhere!!

For flashing a ROM, you can go to the upgrade section of the Omnia forum (on top) and there are a lot of threads to look at different ROMs and instructions on how to use them. You should start here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69628 there is a leaked ROM called cc20 that unlocks the GPS. If you are flashing to get GPS capabilities, you have to do that first. After that any ROM goes. You can get a faster device with more memory with some of the base ROMs, and a WM 6.5 ROM that has some cool tweaks.

There is a lot to learn, but (following instructions closely) flashing gets easier!!

There are a vouple volume tweaks in the begining of this thread and the problems thread. I remember seeing them, but never needed them myself. I'll add a direct to them if I see it.

Feel free too ask anything in here, if you can't find it using search there are more than a few people in here happy to help!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

yknoyus, once again, welcome.

flashing is pretty simple but like syrguy1969 said, you need to pay attention to what you're doing or things could go bad quickly.

as far as the volume fixes go, i believe that Adrynalyne has solved that problem in his ROMs already so flashing to one of those should fix the issue.

good luck to you!

I use SplashID which has a desktop component. I have been happy with the mobile product but have not used the PC part. I use a Mac and, while there is a Mac desktop program for SplashID, it does not work the same as the PC version. I have been told that SPB Wallet is good too and believe that it has a desktop piece as well.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Thanks WSF, these look good, a little pricey though...

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

I have used eWallet from Ilium Software for several years. It is encrypted and secure. It has a desktop component, where what it on the ppc will sync with the desktop. Check out www.iliumsoft.com. I rely on it quite a bit. I believe it will also create passwords for you.

They also will bundle eWallet with ListPro and DockWarePro (which I don't use any longer) for $45. eWallet alone is $30. I also like the ListPro program and use it allllllll the time.

Hope you find something you like.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

I just got my Omnia i910; moved from a MotoQ. I am used to doing various registry hacks and other customizations. I've done many of the tips I found here. They're great. Thanks for being here!

One big thing that bugs me is in the Inbox list view (Outlook, SMS, etc.) the file size is listed in the right column. It wasn't there on my Q, or even on my interim WM6 HTC. The information isn't useful to me, and it really crowds the top line of the header (in some cases I can only see the first few letters of the sender's name). I have already reduced the system font size, which helped. But, I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to simply eliminate the column altogether? Registry key addition or change? HTML or CSS template? I'll feel like an idiot if it's just a check box somewhere that I haven't been able to find. Thanks in advance.

I'd love to see a nice, finger-friendly alternative for WM6.1 Outlook (which I use for my Exchange Server with ActiveSync)--something like Vito's SMS-CHAT. But, I've Google'd hard and haven't seen anything like that.
