Has anyone made a ROM using the Samsung Ominia User Interface? i saw it on youtube the other day and it looks cool i was just wondering if anyone can make it.
I could. The Omnia interface is nice, but its not all that better than the M2D imo.

ofcoursee NOTHIN is better then ur ROM (1.27 BELL) that i m running ryte now NO doubt about that.
but its nice to have different things you know to see little change in our HTC TOUCH thats what i think. you dont have to do it just for me. beacause i do understand it takes countless amount of hours and hard work.
soo if more people agree and if they want it too, then ill kindly request you too make it.
I KNOW tht if ur gonna make it then it will be the BEST thing out there!!
thanxx alott bro
im sorry but that would be wicked !!!!!! the FEWedgets plugin was cool for a minute but boring, to limited.. and not tha best quality.. I aswell wouldn't ask for tha amount of work to be put in.. but 4real that would be pretty sick! imo
yea ehh thats what i thought
no doubt it takes lots of hard work but if we have more people wanting this
then we can kindly request NFSFAN to make one for us.
so can everyone who wants this ROM just post a reply saying "yea this would be nice or yes u want want this ROM.
yea this would be nice!
Hey all,
One of the guys I work with actually has one of these phones and I played around with it for a couple hours the other day, and IMHO the interface kinda sucks LOL
While the wow and cool factor lasted maybe 10 minutes or so the actual usability and functionality of the phone with added configs and settings didnt really do alot to the form and feel of the phone compared to anything custom on a WinMO device, Android (referring to the Vogue port of Android) or even the IPhone
Really, the adding and removal of the widgets are nice, but its through 5 hoops to get to any real apps or make any useful activity of the phone plus with the smallish screen on a vogue device the widgets would dominate the available area and with like the Omnia start apps without the intention of wanting them opened when trying to open something else.
Again, not against it, but seriously I dont see anything all that useful other than a few minutes of wowability until the omnia gui is unchecked and tf2d or standard WinMO UI would be re-enabled by the user - of course to each their own and if the desire is there enough someone will build it although I would personally love to see more progress into the area of WinMO 6.5 or 7 than the Omnias interface or even more stability and speed being developed and worked on for the existing 6.1 WinMO/Custom ROM that currently exist

I'm with him ^^^. The gui doesn't really appeal to me, but like I said, depending on the factor of people wanting this, I may consider making a ROM using it. When a reliable and real build of WM6.5 comes out, I will port it to the Vogue.
lol yea I kinda agree, still would be cool, just to say tho.. any possibilty geting a omina style on screen mouse cursor ? its cool in skyfire, but if possible to port that to be able to use thru out menues etc on a htc would be sick!
just a thought
I would also like this. It reminds me of the Android, with the removable widgets. It's nice to have a change every once in awhile!
Not gonna lie I would like to see this a lot
I would like it I'm actually thinking of getting one when my phone is up for renewal or a blackberry storm....just wish there was something new and exciting coming out just seem like we have maxed out the vogue. And android seems like a pain in the ass to get going from reading the thread to many damn steps and buttons that do the opposite of what they were intended to do?!??!
+1 on the boring UI. It would be cool, but the avail widgets are quite useless and can't be used with other plugins. One thing I found odd was that you can't lock the widgets into place, so everytime you click, they move.
I just think the mouse feature would be really cool to have.
Mouse
Hey, those of you wanting the mouse feature, you might wanna try a program called VirtuaMouse One-Hand. I know it's probably not the exact same but it's somewhat the same concept.

WOOWW... Amazing project!
Thanks to the TS.
I will give it a try when it's ready.
if you really want that sort of ui u will get in few mins just go to wad and create it one its as simple as creating a silly html webpage and i am not that perfect in those things but i came to know when i used concept theme very recent.
why dont people start better ui rather den copying a simmillar one even the placement of icons...
so pity.
sorry if i offend or hurt anyone but thats damn truth anything mere ui is appreciated den a silly copy
Hm
it looks good and it appears to go further than any other UI with the exception on Touch Flo 3D. I am impressed with what you have even if you appear to have taken the photographs with a pinhole camera from the early 20th century!
What I feel is needed in such a project is a set of icons that have a similar theme running throughout, that are hi-res and professional looking.
Get a good graphic design artist onboard from the outset. There are plenty here.
Good luck and I wish you well.

u guys seriously like the iPhone UI look? i hate it. it reminds me of my desktop. icons everywhere.
GooGooGOgoOGo ! ~
Guys,
Are you working on something similar to this?
Cheers.
What about animations? Can we expect such stuff as sliding between screens/ rotating animation or anything?
I do like the effort of making a new UI but if I wanted an iPhone I would have bought one.. This is just to much of a copy for me..
Good job, but I never understand why there is so much enthusiasm to do with a Windows Mobile device an iPhone ! It's just my opinion,but in this case I prefer to buy an iPhone ...
it's very wonderful work man
not bad
It's really great.
is it consume much memory while this ui is loaded ? as compare with HD TFLO 3D ?
Let´s See how it works!Looks very good!
Looks interesting~ Wish could see new release very soon.
I am more interested in what this gives over things such as ifonz or iphonetoday, both things which emulate the same sort of UI design. As someone posted earlier, does it come with animated transitions or is it gearedtowards being fast/
Either way, im interested to see how this turns out.
I have to admit though, it doesnt seem entirely logical to make an expensive phone look like a not so expensive, widely used phone...
I was using an iPhone 3G before my current HD and I did not like the screen full of icon look. I prefer the TF3D where I can view my calendar at the home screen right away so I'll probably give this a miss. But what I DO like about the iPhone is that everything is designed for touch use unlike WM where beyond the UI, it's still the touch-unfriendly interface where I have to use a stylus. If there is a UI that allows for that in WM, then it's perfect for me!
It´s amazing the iphone effect on people. The apple marketing guys are very efficient in creating a worldwide desire for that fruit.
You can see a lot of iphone type interfaces for every platform. I´ve recently found one for symbiam.
I would like to see a touchflo for iphone, for instance........
Seems that according to Wmexperts the TP2, Diamond2 and Snap (I think that was the third one) will be getting their 6.5 WM upgrade the same day the new OS celebrates its release.
This is great for those leery of flashing cooked ROMs and also good for the cooks I am guessing as it should give them some new stable material to play with
And as the upgrade is supposed to include a Manila upgrade this shbould include even more functionality (thoguhb I am guessing it will only be Manila 2.5 and not the newer 2.6).
Well for me this is perfect. I will be able to enjoy my new TP2, figuring it out and how everything works and then after around a month I can upgrade and start discovering even more new things
I assume most here will upgrade or flash a cooked ROOM so I won' how many will make the jump. But what are your opinions on the matter? Sound off below.
ive tried a cooked rom with winmo6.5 and it sucks. i hate the new messaging app and i couldnt get mms to send on the tmous version.

I quite enjoy the current Telstra ROM as it is. But I have no problem if there is a newer ROM (based on WM6.5). I am happy to try something new. Hopefully more fun on its way.
I hope we can choose to use the TF3D Start Menu rather than that honeycomb crap. That's going to be a huge deciding factor for me. I can't stand the honeycomb menu.

Yeah! I've tried a couple of 6.5 ROMS and they just suck. It's nothing to do with the cooks. WM 6.5 is just a coat of paint on 6.1. As weird as it may sound I love the look and feel of the native WinMo interface. I love the complexity and don't get all this talk about it not looking beautiful. Win Mo is way ahead of its time, no mobile OS comes close. It just has a bad rap because a lot of people are not smart enough to use it.

I also love Windows interface and think it's better then manila. That's the only interface I use, even though I have the standard edition to EnergyRom Genesis.

6.5 thumbs up!
i feel that the flow of scrolling in 6.5 is a huge improvement over 6.1 along with the spacing of the menus makes it much easier to navigate with fingers rather than a stylus. manilla 2.1 is better than 2.5 but if i have to choose between either malilla or just titanium, i'd have to go with?????? i don't know i switch all the time !!!!!!!! energy rom genisis standard has the option of both!!

I hate the honeycomb menu too on the WIN6.5.. hope it can be make look like the standard menu later by xda when it released.
I've used the simple Today screen for the longest time but mostly because of the availability of the d-pad on previous models I owned. With the TP2 the Today screen isnt very finger friendly. In fact the whole WM interface isn't finger friendly at all. The OS was built with the stylus in mind. I've kinda managed to bring the interface to an acceptable level mostly due to SPB Mobile Shell. But yea... I'd have prefered something like Today screen but a lot friendlier to the touch.
To me, personally, the newest winmo doesnt look that amazing. 6.5 with touch flo 3D (Or htc sense, whatever), looks much nicer. Microsoft wont let you skin 7, and you are very limited to certian hardware. I'm getting a HD2, and if a update comes out for winmo7, im sticking with "classic". Time to change my signature!
I completely disagree but to each his own.
When you get to use it in person your opinion will change. Sense is nice though.
I like Touch Flo and I'm using it right now on my Touch Pro2 but I'm looking forward to WP7.
WP7S looks far more advanced, clean and has a much better UI Experience than the super laggy, buggy WM 6.5 can ever have!

It's just you.
It depends on your own preference. I personally prefer practicality over ascetics! its more about using the phone than having it as a status symbol for me! Im glad they are moving away from resistive screens and stylus navigation and 6.5.3 is pretty good for that now anyway.
I still think the specs they require will not stop it being ported onto current devices.
I'm sure it's not just you, but that's because WP7 design principles are a bit ahead of time on devices - everyone's used to faux 3D and "cute icons". The concept used in WP7 is prominent on the web - you have plenty of "chromeless UI" there, where "content is the interface". If you think a little, the Web is a really amazing thing from the usability perspective, in most cases you can go to an unfamiliar web site and without any training or preparation maze your way through a very complex underlying structure to get where you want to be. That's what MS is trying to do here as well - you don't have icons and buttons; text and images are the buttons. The visual "hints" like stuff on the side and text "not fitting" the screen are quite natural indicators of showing that there's something else, and are used instead of a "More" or "Advanced" buttons which, in these paradigm, are just unneeded clutter, or UI garbage. So there's a lot of practicality behind this concept, in fact. Whether the implementation will be practical and/or will get widespread adoption remains to be seen, of course.
This appear to me like following conversations might have happened at MS hardquarters:
Dev: Hey I can't get the 3D effects running smooth. But with more money I can do it!
Chief: No money. Screw this 3D things. Just write some plain text instead.
Dev: Oh! We also have problems with multitasking. Already the first screens after booting up are so slow. I need more money and I can fix it!
Chief: No money. Just disable multitasking!
From what I have seen of Windows Mobile 7, I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for it. I will try it out when it's released on here but I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up going back to 6.5.5.
I choose winmo 6.5.3
I think it's not you. I, for one, also think that WP7 is a "failure". It's totally not that impressive as the iPhone OS in the beginning and Android currently. With this WP7, they got themselves disqualified for the Mobile OS race!
i completely agree, i perfer bog standard winmo 6.5 with htc home and spb pocket plus installed on my today screen, i dont bother with touch flow or any other ui's i know how to use my phone its functional practacal and an amazing bit of kit, i dont care if it looks pretty or is in 3d, but its nice to know i have the hardware if i need it , i cant see me getting a win7 series os on my phone untill someone on here has hacked it to death and got it a bit more FUN,
I prefer the stock looking WM6.1 (yes, I'm using WM6.5 without the start menu, it sux) on the new builds if I hit the Start button it makes me feel like I have a Nokia crap in my hands.... f*** the globalization
I have hd2 and Im so so so happy with it but here I come to my next thot what next????wm6.5 is dead, android is not for me wp7 ok but ugly here comes question IS IT POSSIBLE TO BRING SENSE 2,5 ON WP7 PHONES imagine wp7 system and beauty of cht on home screen FANTASTIC.So my question to all wp7 devs and all ppl there would you like this combination on your wp7 unit do you think its good or not and most important is someone out there who could make this working??????????

no...just no..
See above... Wp7 did awesome to get away from the trainwreck UIs that plague android and winmo. They have created the single cleanest and best looking OS in doing so. Sense would just much it up and I'm glad HTC doesn't have that much access because if I had to see that stupid flip clock I'd likely leave my phone for dead.
The only Sense UI aspect that *could* be done is to utilise tiles. I've seen mock-ups of this somewhere. However, we don't have that much flexibility with the tiles - i.e. no double tiles for the flippy clock and no direct way (without push implementation) to change what's on the tiles.

ok m8 but we are not same some of us dont like that simple square ugly look of windows phone.THATS WHY i STARTED THIS TO SEE IF WE CAN USE WP7 ON OUR WAY.Soon hd2 will be old tec and we gona need something new.I love 6.5 because I can costum everything on it icons,sliders,look,levels I started to make my own stuff in photoshop and I dont like that stupid iphone clon os everything locked and all about money.I hate iphone but if have to chose ios or wp7 how is now ios is more OK for me
and yea I forgot 6.5 without sense looks nicer then wp7 and if you dont like flip clock no problem go little in 6.5 threads and look what those fantastic devs done of 6.5 IF SOME ONE OF THEM READ THIS ,,,,TY SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR MAKING 6.5 STILL ALIVE

if your perogative is customization then you are on the wrong OS. Wp7 is a completelnew oS and is not an extension of windows mobile. The fact that it's locked down does not make it an iPhone clone and I must say, you're either trolling or really showing your ass here. Sense won't happen, you would have to hack the phone extensively, get htcs code, convert it to the proper format, unlock APIs that don't exist to make a tile that is fully live, and pretty much build it from scratch all with the potential lawsuit from HTC for doing so. That's just for that hideous clock. The next option would be to port android or wm6.5 onto your wp7 device but that's counter-intuitive at best and with winmo likely impossible. Either way, you're out of luck.
Android would be your best bet, you can customise it to look how you want AND HTC devices will obviously have sense. Even if sense could be done on WP7 as you dont like the OS itself its pointless as eventually you will have to deal with some aspects of it. And if you are happy living entirely within the sense environment again, an android device with sense is the solution.
Having thought about it, you could create an app - not a true UI like Sense.
You wouldn't suffer from the same problems, it'd be completely customizable and it could be instant resume...
Sure, there'd still be problems - i.e. you couldn't have shortcuts to apps etc. Oh and it probably wouldn't get into the Marketplace if it looked too much like Sense, so you'd have to sideload it.

well all I can do is wait and hope that roomers about htc OS is truth hope they will make something good and nice looking in one,or hope that my hd2 will run good couple of years more lool
buy an android/winmo phone next time
lol m8 I have rafpignas disareHD rom on my sd card just for games and browsing (flash 10,1)have flash 10,1 on wim mob too but not that god like on android
