There is no Kitchen or custom ROMs for the Omnia yet because we need a packaged ROM update from Samsung VZW to use in the kitchen. It isn't that they are generally that much better, but the ability to trim some of the useless bits and add your own uniquness to it (or use someone else's that fit your needs) really can enhance your usage of a PPC!!!

2- I don't use Vista, so I will have to let the experts handle that one (Adrynalyne....you out there???).

3- I am in Syracuse NY, so I'm not local to you, but willing to help with whatever I can!!!

Great description (even us dummies can understand), really lessoned my confusion. Appreciate the help offer, I'm sure I will be asking you in the future. Adrynalyne is responding about Vista sync issue. THANKS!!!

Would this work for you? You will need a different sync utility.

I know (pause for the gasps and whispers "What? She doesn't know what she's talking about?"). Yeah, I can figure out how to work them and tweak them to an extent and there's lots of great tweaks/hacks here, but when I start to get into the actual steps, I'm getting a headache.

So a few questions:

1. What is this Cooked ROM and KITCHEN I keep reading about? & if it's so much better then how do I get it?

2. Has anyone figured out the Vista sync WinMo 6.1 problem?

3. Which 1 of you GEEKS (I say this with LOVE) lives in SC area and can just pimp it out, tweak it, hack it, etc. for me?




Like I said. I know what I want. I'm just trying to figure out the easiest way to get it.

You will need to elaborate on the Vista problem. I am using Vista and its syncing ok, through USB and BT. What issues are you having?

I'm keepin my eye on this because I have Vista and I don't have any problems syncing,

can u describe what exactly is happening or not happening? I know with mine when I connect my phone, the WMDC window doesn't open automatically, I have to go click the icon to open it up, but other then that no problems..

I was just trying to figure out how to sync calendar, contacts, etc. without Outlook. Vista uses other mail program and I am not gonna buy Outlook cuz I don't like it much. So far though I can't find a way to get around it. Since I am now without a slide out keyboard it's very time consuming to make those entries directly on device & would love to be able to create most of that in my laptop and transfer it. All other files are working through USB fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can now sync over the air with your google acount (gmail + contacts + google calendar). I have been using it and I love it. It's easy to enter contact and appointments via your PC keyboard and have it sent directly to your PPC.
