Winmo Software that I've tried on the i910
list o'Software for OMNIA -- incase of catastrophic failure....
__________________________________________________ _______________ *Tried: - see notes below ---------------- Ken's Today Screen - clunky interface, not customizable as to adding application links Coreplayer v1.3 - good.. plays just about everything - not super smooth, but pretty good on the omnia Facebook v.1 - limited use Fingerkeyboard Fring Googlemaps GoogleSearch ICSInstall - a must have Netcfcfg Netcf v3.5 PCM Keyboard Skyfire - southparkstudios.com is all I have to say Skype Mobile Slick - a great chat program.. I wonder if there is a skype plugin for it. I love fring's integration so I can use my bluetooth headset (plantronics voyager 502) Total Commander (tcmdpocketarm) - an good file explorer program Touchpal - I really like this in portrait mode, but in landscape it seems very much less accurate even though the buttons are bigger.. anybody else experiencing this? WMWifirouter - this is a lifesaver program, I use it to connect my laptop to the net so I can browse. I live a simple rural life and there is no dsl/cable available. Jeez, I actually bought this program to spite verizon. If I weren't unemployed and barely able to pay for my phone I would buy more software. ifonz 2 pointui Home2 Throttle Launcher palringo vtap bing (windows live search) adobe flash 7 my mobiler v.1.23 clear temp opera 9.7beta xnview wisbar advance 3 wisbar advance desktop 2.2.4.5 LCARS theme Samsung Midomi - how cool, I heard of these sorts of programs a while ago, but never figured I would get them being a verizon customer.. why does verizon have to suck so bad?? - haven't tested yet s2u2 - a great program with lots of customization s2v - a good viewer, but lacks much functionality other than viewing images vito sms chat - I really dig the interface, but wish I could get rid of the stock wm one, and just use this for everything.. seems like I end up going back to the stock for viewing links and opens with a lot of programs i use. caxixi - still have yet to give this a try, looked interesting. *Reload If Doom: ----------------- netcfcfg - configuring tool for .net netcf v3.5 - newest? .net skyfire v1.1 - newest coreplayer v1.3 - useful for playing just about anything fring - clunky - is there a more stylish program out there that does the same thing. I want skype/aim/msn/y!/icq/maybe facebook chat touchpal wmwifirouter - purchased! home2 - Slows down phone a lot - reconsider - the appribbon is kinda lame Bing - not used very much, but I liked the old live search Google maps - flash 7 - installed, but not sure that it does anything - installed it to my storage.. I don't think it's doing anything, though with skyfire installed, what's the point? Is it even necessary? S2U2 - it's just a good thing to have.. the winmo default lock can still allow pocket fiddling *Not using, or put on storage card to install when needed --notes included about why I don't have them installed ----------------- Facebook is pointlessly limited - not a very good integration with facebook online - poor microsoft Ken's Today Screen - painfully basic - no options for easy customization Fingerkeyboard - didn't like the arrows or the tiny buttons, might be better suited for a vga phone googlesearch - pointless today screen plugin - just open opera/skyfire pcm keyboard - didn't really like it skype mobile - outdated program that hogs resources - see fring Slick - good program, but fring does everything slick does... only no log - I really like fring palringo - fring is better ifonz2 - cheesy in wqvga/qvga format - didn't mess with it too much vtap - useless for watching video.. buggy! -let me repeat USELESS at least on the omnia opera 9.7beta - resource hog on omnia - not as fast as 9.5 from the rom - I wonder if it has flash like skyfire.. if so, it would be worth keeping throttle launcher RC1 - couldn't get it running - had to reset device to get back control LCARS WAD theme - big and slow menus - requires more customization - menus are burried too deeply for me. I like clean and simple cleartemp didn't do much - I'm smart enough to move the opera cache and remove temp files My mobiler is a cool application, but not one that needs to be on the phone xnview - good program, but seems like one I wouldn't use often try slide to view maybe? wisbar advance 3 - cool program, not sure how many resources it hogs, but it does a lot of things that I like - only problem is it isn't very good for a touch only device. I end up having to turn on the optical mouse to be able to use it.. my stupid fat thumbs wisbar advance desktop - on the fence about this program still. seems more powerful than home 2, but also seems like it will just slow things down or eat batteries for breakfast - recommendations? *Find: ----------------- *Program that automatically shuts off the broadband when idle or an easy to use connection manager *A good ebook reader, I've read that adobe is good, as well as foxit. *registry editor *a picture viewer that uses sliding and easy to use, but also allows for resizing images... is that too much to ask for? *the 1% battery replacement thing sounds interesting, but I don't think it's really necessary because it doesn't help prevent battery drain *Updates for the GS (gsfinder/player/others?) software I had on my i760 *a messenger program that's slick that does skype and all the other chats *touchpal vibrate functionality (hepatic feedback) *Any other software that will improve the functionality of the device without bogging it down Other questions: ----------------------- What can I do to maximize battery life, and still use the device I want a good simple UI. I haven't had the phone long enough to really get suited to one ui or another. I don't like the original samsung widget touchwiz thing.. nor really enjoy the winmo default today screen. I used my i760 extensively, but that thing had a tendency to hard reset itself and I would lose all the work I put into it. Never got into custom cooking or flashing though. I also don't really like the sbp stuff, it seems to do a lot of crap that it seems like only a minority would want and eats up lots of space (not that that is a problem on the omnia storage) I'm pretty good at photoshopping and making animated gifs if anybody needs help, or wants something custom, I would be willing to give it a try. Also, anybody buy the noreve case for their omnia? I just ordered one, knowing full well how long it was going to take to get. Is it worth it? Screen protectors? Anybody got any extras? heh Thanks a bunch in advance for any further information. I realize the phone has been out for awhile now and was wondering what everyone thought of these programs, plus maybe a few recommendations for other software I may want to try. -Eric |

Re: Winmo Software that I've tried on the i910
That's a HUGE list, maybe you could sort them out further so it's easier to digest.
A few essential things like ICS and .Net 3.5 are unneeded if you use a custom ROM as they are already baked in. Many of the other apps like Google Maps and Bing are built into those as well. Flash isn't necessary to install, Opera has it built it (at least the way I've got it setup) but it doesn't play much except YouTube, and even then it's slow. Might as well use the official YouTube player, which is great. Currently I'm using a Windows 6.5 rom as many of us are, and it has the new "Titanium" panels interface. I like it a lot and being built into the software, there is nothing to load and works very well. I personally don't like the S2 apps, I think they're ugly and I didn't buy my Omnia because I wanted it to look like an iPhone. My Mobiler is useful to have but it isn't even working in 6.5. ClearTemp can actually free up a decent amount of space from assorted applications but I usually flash/clear out My Storage a lot so I don't worry about it. There is a cab on here and on XDA-Developers that will shut off your broadband after 1 or 5 minutes. All it does it make a registry edit that you could do on your own if you wanted. Speaking of which, PHM RegEdit is a good but non-fingerfriendly editor on the phone directly. CeRegEditor is PC based, you connect to ActiveSync and it will allow you to edit your Omnia's registry on your computer (much easier than doing it on the phone). Caxixi and Midomi are very fun/useful but I haven't fired either one up in a while. My most commonly used apps are Facebook, Pandora and YouTube. Facebook may be limited but it's only version 1, I'm sure it will get more features eventually. |

Re: Winmo Software that I've tried on the i910
These are what i would recommend!
*A good ebook reader, I've read that adobe is good, as well as foxit. -Mobireader is my fav *registry editor -Total Commander, ugly but will do everything and it's free! *a picture viewer that uses sliding and easy to use, but also allows for resizing images... is that too much to ask for? -HTCAlbum *touchpal vibrate functionality (hepatic feedback) Just use Touch Response and enable keyboard only

If the custom roms come with most of these that's great! Just like my vista/xp/older installs of windows I like to leave it as uncluttered as possible so it functions at the fastest speed it can. I especially hate the pinwheel icon on the mac and now on the omnia I have. I need to change out the animation and make something funnier like a hand flipping you off *shrugs* Thanks for the input. -Eric |

press the '\' button in the top right click on \\plugins click on registry And there's the registry HTCAlbum is great, the cab that's floating around will need a couple file replacements to show correctly with our screen size, I'll attach them if anyone's interested. |

Install the TouchResponse cab (lemme know if you need it) SR Open Settings Open System Open TouchResponse Settings I set the vibrate on touch setting to 10 (for me personally, set it to what you like) In the advanced tab, check enabled only for On-screen Keyboard MAKE SURE THAT YOU SET THE VIBRATE ID TO 11 IN THE DEVICE TAB No need for a SR That's it! |
