(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!

The GPS unlock firmware mentioned above, Is that for the Verizon 910? If so where do I find it?

When I did the tweak, it didn't work for the first hour, and then all of a sudden started working. Now everytime I hit that second icon I get PocketCM.

Did I miss the files for the call log? I cannot seem to find them??? I must REALLY be blind.

Is there a way to turn off led light while omnia is plugged to the pc using USB? I use it to sync and charge. Is there a registry tweak or way to like turn it off while charging? One thing also, is it possible to automatically enable keypad lock when answering a call and automatically unlock when someone is calling? TIA

no such thing as a "free" version of spb mobile shell. however, there's a trial version on their website.

you could get "creative" and search google.

if you don't want to put out the cash for it, then go with an alternative. there's plenty mentioned here.

So I made this change, and now for some reason when i try to type in an Opera Window (like to update my Facebook status or something), it won't work. Any ideas? Anyone know the registry key to change it back, like a donkey I forgot to make a backup beforehand....stupid me.

Which 'change' did you make?

First off I'd like to say theres so much good information in this thread! As a WM tweaker and a new i910 user, after this thread came up on 3 different google searches for tweaks, I figured it was time to give it a full read. But after 2 hours and several soft resets Im skipping to the end with a question.

Im using keyswop to make my left soft key a shortcut to resco expl, but everytime I get an email this changes to "notification". I have the sounds and notifications--> set to not put a msg on screen for email, but it still does. I have 5 email addys coming to my phone set to send/recieve every 15 mins so this gets quite annoying having to dismiss all those notification to get to my explorer shortcut. Im using the new firmware thats posted over on modaco, (which rocks! gps, disabled threading, ect. all working excellent!) wih the samsung online widget. I would be very happy if theres a reg edit to disable only the soft key email notification, and NOT the notification comes up from widget bar. Thanks guys -TG

Sorry, forgot to quote the original message...I'm not having a good day. The change I made was to disable XT9 from the Samsung Keyboard. Thanks.

Yes, it's for the Omnia i910 from Verizon.
