Use at your own risk, I have found it to be finger friendly, and nice looking, but buggy.

HKCU\Software\Samsung\MiniToday

Set silverInbox key from a 0 to 1.

Soft reset.

Or import this reg file.

I found that I only see this skin on the inbox if I am using the samsung 2 today screen from the reg hack at this start of this thread

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks

The xscaler app actually only sets the min that the processor will run at according to the Winmo forum. I tried it out on my I910 and only noticed a slight difference when setting it to 400, though did not set it near 500 or chosing the automatic setting like nursecosmo for fear of bricking the phone. I really don't see a need for having the app. Any word on the US getting the T Omnia, date, etc.?

Oh my.
I found a reghack that really cleans up the sound on the Omnia, and makes it louder too. Only tested voice thus far.

Does this do anything to improve sound from the speakerphone?

I was trying to compare reg data but I couldn't locate the original in my registry. Does the phone sound any clearer or just louder? I though it sounded pretty clear to begin with and did the reg edit a while ago to increase call volume. Just curious what this will enhance.

Those are enhancements made by soundtester.exe in \Windows. It cant hurt to try it, if it cuases issue, simply delete HKLM\SAMSUNG. Backing up is always a good idea, of course.

So does this increase the ring tones volume? If so can i make a request? I haven't check yet, but im loving these hacks / tips / tricks already. Thanks everyone. Also before hand, if anyone going to make the increase ring tone volume.

Note that if you change the today wallpaper at all, you will lose both wallpaper images, so i have uploaded them as well. However, upon first install, you will get what you see here, wallpaper and all.

Nice I like this. I have a question b/c I'm new to ppc's and just starting to mess around with it.

If I install this cab, will I be able to go back to the old one I'm using now (Today 2)?

Also, will this theme stay if I change the wallpapers?

Thanks. You guys are really smart with this stuff. Or I'm just really dumb. . . :(

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks

Yep, it will stay, even if you change your wallpaper. But if you want those wallpapers back, get them from this thread. However, the menu skins will remain the same, until you decide to uninstall it.

This is completely reverisble if you do not care for 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 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.

1- A Kitchen is the programming that you dump an existing ROM into and 'cooking' it is adding and taking away bits + pieces to suit your needs (custom settings, apps....). 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!!!
