Omnia black menus and KEYBOARD

[iclickjohn]

see my previous post.
I did load up the UMDL and reloaded the PDA ROM black 6.5 by Blazing Wolf. The phone was dead black after looping bootscreen. After Detect button in UMDL i just soft reset w/ top indent button. reflashing now. I think it will be fine. But question still. I need a working keyboard that is not a phone pad style. I like a regular large keyboard like the original Samsung.

Anyone with experience getting the phone to boot. and info on installing a keyboard cab that won't kill the phone. It may have been made for the old ROM.

The keyboard cab will not work on this ROM. No one really knows why. The get your phone back functioning again, do a hard reset (press the soft reset button on the top with the stylus and then immediately press and hold the call and end buttons at the same time. If that does not work, just reflash the ROM. That is what I did several times before I learned the hard reset sequence.

As for a keyboard, Blazingwolf addresses this in his ROM thread. Many keyboards are out there that work. In fact, the new Omnia Lite keyboard is currently what I am using with BW latest black ROM. It does not have the pop up keys, which I miss, but the the layout is better and it has features like getting a secondary character from a key by doing a long press.

Otherwise, your best free option is probably FingerKeyboard. You will want to make sure you find skins for the Omnia so landscape is full screen. There is also a thread with layout edits that eliminate the arrows in the middle of the keyboard. XT9 wil have to be disabled by a CAB to get word suggestion with this keyboard.

Good luck.

Thanks for those tips. I think I've read about every thread in the entire omina forum. however, lesson learned. When searching for a topic, don't assume the results are recent posts. Well, and to be fair to me, who would think that a keyboard cab would kill your phone???? That was totaly weird. But anyway, I had the morning free...

I like the look of this... is this compatible with SPB Mobile Shell? Will these work with VZ CF03 (6.3?) updated standard ROM?
