Trying to love the Omnia but its hard - Page 2

Silverinbox has been disabled for obvious reasons though. Its not ready for primetime. If it was, it would be a menu option, and its not, not even on the i900.

I understand the not ready for primetime - but it is a great finger friendly app in concept just not a reliable app.

As for the other issues--SPB Mobile shell with imarche themes might go far in alleviating your disappointment.

Nice tweak - thank you

There are also a ton of other reg edits that will help make it a little more finger friendly. I really like the tweak that increases the scroll bars. It makes using them much easier.

I would try spending a little more time getting used to the optical mouse. I have found it to be very effective once you get used to it. I would also suggest downloading the changefingermouse file that allows you to change between the d-pad and mouse settings using a hard key on your phone. You can find that on the first page here...

Also, have you tried Samsung Today 2. I like it A LOT more than any of the other standard options that came with the Omnia. You can find that in the first page of the above link for the changefigermouse tweak.

I was in the same boat as you when I first got my Omnia. I really loved the hardware, but did not like the "feel' of what it was running on. After a few days of reg eidts, tweaks, and downloads it's turing into a pretty nice device.

Next on my list is to play around with some of the skins out there. TF2D and SPB seem like they are worth looking into. I had the XV6900 and loved the touchflow app. Let us know how you make out.

Looks like silverinbox has been updated with new features in newer ROMs, like DXHK2 and later for the i900. I can't seem to find a download where someone has extracted it though

I use my phone more for emails than voice calls. Having Silverinbox work correctly would be terrific improvement.

Also thanks for the tweak on the scroll bars. I actually like the finger sensitive scrolling. In most cases after applying a couple of the tweaks it seems to work fairly well.

Also, while I don't spending money to make a system useable, SPB Shell seems to be a very finger friendly option.

Again thanks to all the input.

glad to see your doing better

Now I bump into the sudden problem of the Omnia turning by itself.

Turns out the battery gets loose and you have to insert a small piece of paper on top of the battery to tighten it up.

Wow.
