Samsung Ominia

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.

Decisions decisions!!!

I have a T-Mobile Blackberry 8900 and I WANT the TP2 so bad after reading and watching reviews on it. Now the the keyboard is black makes me want it even more!
I LOVE my 8900, but when I look at the TP2 I feel like I'm limited when it comes to my BB.
What do you guys think of the 8900 compared to the TP2? I know this is a Rhodium forum, but don't base this on the love of your Rhodium. I need FACTS!
Let me know!

As simply as a more configurable and friendly platform.design.compatibility
And the plus plus: The support from this fantastic site. Without it WM is simply that...
TP2!!

Oct. 6th 6.5 Upgrade!!!!

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.

"just lol"...

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.

I rather 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.

Rhodium vs Hero

Guys and gals,
Being a WM user since probably 5-6 years, i am having a "faith crisis" :-(
I am a proud owner of TP2 running wm6.5, and am loving all the development, hacking and customisability you get with WM (thanks to this great community obviously).
Problem is i am being more and more drawn to android OS, and its rapid development, applications, net integration etc.
was wondering if there's anyone out there with rhodium having the same doubts??
Rhodium is bloody good piece of hardware, and its a shame to let it go, but looking at Hero....
well, its tempting. cant have both :-(

Well, my single biggest reason for buying a TP2 was the keyboard, so....

ditto, Keyboard is the main reason.

Keyboard Keyboard keyboard... and more customization and hacking then any other Mobile OS.

Why not just run Andriod on your Rhodium..........................
Hero has no keyboard and can not run WinMo (Not without a great deal of Dev work anyway) Rhodium can run Android with very little work required and you could still run WinMo too.............
Hope that helps persuade your reasoning...........
Rhodium looks way better too
Cheers,
Beasty

Agree with beasty.
Rhodium has keyboard that for some (like me) is a must!
Also Android is a young and unmature OS, perhaps in the future can be an option but not for now.
Just my 2 cents,

The TP2 because of WM customization, flexability, business use, rom flashing, tweeks, etc......

ok well w eneed someone to get started on androiid for the tp2 n now doghnut has native cdma

iPhone is 100% toy, Android phones are 90% toy, WM phones are 50% toy. Some of us have to do real work sometimes, and we're not buying our phones for the fart noise apps.

ROFL,
I wonder how many are using that on WM though, I know it is available..........
You are correct though, WM is purely for business use as its main function.
Android is coming up fast but still needs a lot of work to convince me to be my main PDA OS.
IPhone, so far behind, the kids can keep it.

According to the Engadget review of Hero, the Sense UI is quite sluggish. So all that glitters is not gold.

TP2 or HD2 or wait...

Man... my TP2 is Resting in Pieces...
im happy with what i got to do with it thx to xda devs...
but had issues with stereo bluetooth...with video playback.... and more generally with slow speed of the machine...
im wondering if i should go to HD2 but that baby lacks a keyboard...
or maybe wait on a TP3 ...
Ive been a htc guy for almost 6-7 years...but there was always something to complain about with them...
before buying the TP2 i thought it was the perfect machine...until i saw how slow the cpu was...and that the HD had twice its speed....that the wm system still needed rebooting often...
I hate apple, i dont feel like trying android...i think i will hate windows 7....
like i hated vista after XP...
i like my NRG romd on TP2 and now beeing able to run Rhobuntu feels amazing...especially with a real keyboard...
but after a year with the same machine...it doesnt feel right to put 300€ in another new TP2...
i know this thread is completly pointless... unless i get some good advice...
but i just had to let it out to my fellow TP2 owners
http://www.xpphone.com/en/ cant wait to see this in the stores

No go on spending 300 euro on a new TP2. So, how about spending 193 euro on a used TP2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726801

as much as i love my TP2, compared to what they have out there now, the TP2 is outdated and slow. I'd try to pick up a snapdragon device if you're putting in 300 euros...seems worthless to buy outdated equipment.
Do you want to stick with WM6.5? or is there any chance you'd be willing to jump ship to android? I know this is semi-blasphemous in this forum, but i wouldn't mind a nice desire for myself (stupid ATT doesn't have any good phones. damn them!).
either way, good luck!

No offense, but you're likely making an unfair comparison.
The TP2 came with Sense 2.1. Thats what it was designed to use. Putting Sense 2.5, which was designed for another phone on the TP2, and expecting it to still perform well is unfair. It's like me putting Win7 on a computer thats 3 years old and originally shipped with WinXP. It might run, but its not gonna be pretty.
I spurned Sense altogether and went with SPB Mobile Shell. My phone FLIES. No lockups ever, better battery life, and I've grown to actually prefer the interface over time and with a lot of tweaking.
This aside, I agree with others that if I was in the market to buy a new phone right now, the TP2 is obviously outdated. Unless I was getting a crazy good deal (under $150), I'd go for something else.
Also dont forget that WM7 is likely coming out by year's end.

thx for everybody"s feedack...i actually went n bought a new TP2 for 220€ from a local ad...hoping insurance will upload me some $$
i did my unlocking with olipro app : thx for the great job on that
even though im having issues with the tp2...its a love hate relationship
i love what i can do with it...but i hate what the slow proc and maybe wm system does to me...
i really like the sense 2.5 interface but i started testing android and it seems promising... but i wouldnt go for a device with android only...i hope the port will be fully functionnal one day.
from the screens i see wm7 looks ugly so i doubt i will go for it...
i guess ill just have to keep this one clean for sale when the tp3 come out
its a shame windows/HTC are loosing the smartphone battle when they were the first ones on it...
most apps and games look like they are from the 80s compared to a iphone...
but i prefer by far sense 2.5 NRG rom with cookiemonster than than apple's interface.
