Hey guys!

I propose to keep in this topic tweaks specific to our device.

Here is the first one that will let you have 10mb more of free Program memory

:

- Disabling of Samsung dialer:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:1, you should change to 0 and reboot your Omnia

So you will have a standart windows dialer without any screen lock thing from Samsung and app. 10mb more of free memory. The only thing you can regret is the vibro on dialer buttons

Thanks to Senator for this tweak!

Excellent! I got more than 10 Mb of free RAM!

I think that this thread can also be a compilation of what have already been said before.

I want to add 2 concerning GPS:

1. Disabling GPS debug for quick fixing:

QUOTE(robertut @ Oct 15 2008, 09:32)

1. Go to Settings > System > Enhanced GPS and set both settings to "Disable"
2. Go to your device's registry, and see the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
3. Change the following string values to nothing (don't delete them, just edit them and clear the value):
CurrentLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.txt)
OldLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.bak)
4. Soft-reset your device
5. With File Explorer, go to My Device, and delete the two GPSID_log files you see, and the file named xtra. If you don't soft-reset, you will not be able to delete some of them.
6. Check again the registry setting. Sometimes in rare cases it may revert the settings back - but that's a general WM problem.

After this, if you start your navigation software under clear sky, you can get a fix in a coulpe of minutes, without the use of XTRA, or any other data source, than pure native GPS satellites.

2. Chaning the XTRA server address for better XTRA file:

QUOTE(balles @ Nov 13 2008, 21:14)

Well, my server address for XTRA is set to : xtra1.gpsonextra.net. I changed it because my phone provider only lets me surf to 80, 8080 and 443, so the original address is blocked.

Can you verify yours at HKLM\ Software\Samsung\RIL\GPS?

Hi, I use CERRegEditor and when I'm trying to change the value I get "Access denied" message. Any ideas?

I use Resco Explorer with registry plugin and it is ok. You can also use SKTools to change registry value.

In my Omnia I got a 16Gb mem card + 4GB of inbuilt memory. Why would 10mb make any difference?
You guys must really exploit your poor Omnias uh?

This is not 10mb of storage space that we have enough with Omnia but Program memory that is used to run programs and applications. And it is always good to have more of this kind of memory

And by the way, I newer knew an option for 4GB builtin memory with Omnia. I have mine with 16GB storage (My Storage) and 8GB memory card (microsdhc). But the usable builtin storage is below 60mb with stock Samsung rom (right after a hard-reset).

Two options:
1) You're using a chinese version

2) There's something wrong with either the numbers or the names

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:1

You can go with brightness of you device lower than the settings allow you, but you need an app that can handle brightness of omnia because the standard samsung settings of brightness will not see the lowest level. I know at least 2 apps that can do it - Indibar3 (http://www.apoxsoft.com/) and MVBacklight (http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=25964 Only in Russian)

in HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight we change Brightness to 0

It's true ;my fault.
the phone has 16GB , four Gb is just my puny sd card.
Now I understand why some minutes ago when I downloaded " FtouchSL" and then installed on the omnia , I had 3 options instead of 2: my storage; my card; and "device".
I installed it on "Device" because it was the standard setting.
I hope I did the right thing.
Or what?

So, basically you are telling me that there are 3 memories on the Omnia: your card, the 16GB of "my storage", and this "Device" place, in which to put programs and apps; is that right?

Now please tell me : where should I place "MS Voice Command"?
In "Device" again?
Is there enough space?
What if I would put it in "my storage" for exemple? Would that spell tragedy?

Thanks for all your help guys , is very much apreciated and you will all be remembered in my evening prayers, but don't laugh at me :this is my first win mob. device (i'm an ex, deluded, symbian faithful) and I have had it for less than 2 weeks.
And I discovered that there really is a lot to learn compared to the few tricks one needs to get his symbian gizmo to work properly.
Have some mercy.

Would this turn off the dialer completely so I could use something like iContact to replace it?
