abb...no worries, we will have you techno-savvy in no time. That post your refering to is a zip file containing a reg setting/file, all you need to do is to download the file, un-zip the reg file and place it anywhere on your device (main memory, My Memory, or even a storage card) and then just click on it. The setting will automatically make the change it needs to on your device and you have nothing more to do than enjoy the change made by the file!!!

Hope that helps!!!

P.S. Wolcome to the community :-)

When I did it, I downloaded the .cab (file in the link you provided) to my desktop/laptop. I connected my phone to my laptop via the USB cable. Go into the phone Settings>Connections Tab>USB Connection Mode and make sure Mass Storage is selected and hit ok. Then go into your PC My Computer and select the drive that comes up as an external/usb/device/etc (which will be your phone you just connected). Copy and paste the .cab file you downloded into that drive. Go back into your Settings>Connections Tab and select the ActiveSync option instead of the Mass Storage (Otherwise your storage card drive will not show up in the File Explorer list). Disconnect your phone from the PC and go into Programs>File Explorer>My Storage. The my storage folder will be the folder icon in the list with a chip icon over it. Open the my storage and find the Samsung Today 2 Cab file. Select it and it will start to install the file. It will ask you if you want it stored on Device or Storage Card. Select Device and hit ok.

Once installed, go to Settings>Personal Tab>Today. Click on the Items Tab and make sure the Samsung Today 2 box is checked. Uncheck the Samnsung Today and Samsung Widget boxes if they are checked.

You are good to go!

Syrguy must have hit his reply seconds before I did, sorry for the redundant info!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

I also just realized the file was a zip. I am usually the one getting the help on these boards and I got excited I could actually help someone else and I did not pay attention to the file type! Oh well, at least abb now will have directions to install .cab files!:)

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Please help, my phone goes into flight mode when the battery level hits 20% and will not allow me to use my phone until I recharge it. This is really annoying. Can anyone tell me how to eliminate this?

Thanks, Bob

wish I knew...did this to me today as well.

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

How do I configure omnia to install all files on the "My Storage" rather than the "Main Memory Storage" using a reg editor? You guys familiar with "ProgramFilesDir" in windows right? changing the path saves you space in that small 90+ mb main memory storage area. If samsung just made that area bigger and much more wider options to save in another media could have been better. I use a lot of skyscape apps and it easily consumes the main memory storage even if I choose to install the apps by choosing location to "My storage" upon prompt, still some files are stored in the main memory. Any tips guys?

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Hi Omni'ers. I've been fiddling with the screen touch sensitivity for the past couple of days and found one that suits me and thought I'd share.

(very sensitive):
HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH
click = 5120
downUp= 896

This change made the texting faster and strangely more accurate, my fingers just glide(and tap) over the letters. I had a much higher downup value but when trying to configure S2U2 the screen would slide up and down like crazy so I ended up with this.

Also: I diabled the Sammy Dialer (-10MB) which disabled the screen lock during a call and tested these settings out because of the increased sensitivity of the screen. Rarely did my ear push a random soft button (usually the Start Menu icon). All this was done after the GPS unlock firmware update.

Does anyone have a screen lock solution for the default dialer while on a call? Tried S2U2 but all it seems to do is make the screen blank (black) until it's woken up somehow.

None of this could have been done without you guys at PPCGeeks! Who needs an iPhone when they have a completely customizable Sammy Omnia!

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Yep, search the forum for the patched dialer. I created it a while back.

If you find bugs though, you will need to take the project over, because the new beta rom introduced a switch to increase time until it locks, or turn off altogether.

Makes my life easier :)

Also, saving that 10mb of ram is only during a call. I don't need ram during a call ;)

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 

Doh! You're right. :-k "ram" being the key word...

Cool, I'll do a search for it. This thread is so long now and I'm trying to read it from the beginning just incase I missed something awesome.
