Guest Saluki HHI Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 No one knows when this will be released officially. If you are worried about it then don't install it and wait for VZW to release it. The directions are easy to follow though so I doubt you would have trouble. Thanks BW, I think I will take the plunge after the rugrat goes to bed, will widgets work with Samsung today 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blazingwolf Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks BW, I think I will take the plunge after the rugrat goes to bed, will widgets work with Samsung today 2? No, they won't. It is still a separate today plugin that must be on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saluki HHI Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 No, they won't. It is still a separate today plugin that must be on it's own. No big deal, GPS confirmed though? That makes all the difference in the world. I've been following the GPS thread since I got the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avluis Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm back from work and happier than ever. I was actually going to announce that the gps does work, but it looks like a few found out for themselves. What a little world it is today. I still remember the hard time we gave that savior of mankind for us vzw omnia owners and to think that the very same firmware that verizon is testing has a working gps!! I can't be any happier. BTW, mine works with manage with windows. Now to figure out rom cooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WhoTheHellAmI Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 It's working with almost no problems for me...there are slight stability issues, my google maps made me send 3 reports, and poutlook.exe had me send one, but that is expected for a beta...when verizon finally releases the stable version, that won't be an issue, but this rom WILL NOT brick your phone if you follow the instructions in the .pdf file to the letter. Calling and data are not an issue unless you mess something up. But overall, the programs run like they are supposed to, speed is up from previous version, and gps is unlocked...major stuff fixed.

Guest WoZZeR999 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) The speed is much greater. The only problem I've seen is the phone freezing every once and a while. Also, if you back up your PST settings, it should be safe to update the Phone (not Eboot/PDA/CSC) Rom. Edited April 9, 2009 by WoZZeR999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flyaf05 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Worked great for me... Use the "unified image file box" to load the rom img Also if you're using vista all you have to do is open Windows Mobile Device Center, select mobile device settings, then connection settings to disable the active sync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got an email for them due to a similar road misname and they are adding this to their list of releases, I need to hurry up and drive some more. Also, make sure that you write those coordinates unless you have trip tracking and your gps apps remembers coordinates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Are these my pants? Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oh s***, I may be the first casualty here. I followed the PDF, it detected and began to flash. It failed somewhere, the phone did not reboot and now it will not restart, stalls on the boot screen... :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WoZZeR999 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I managed to get a a dump from the img. So I can access the .NB file and .NB0 file. I have lots of reading to do to learn about cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lordricearoni Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 What do you mean "reset the phone to flash?" I just ran it again, here is the log I got: @Are these my pants? you installed the 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB DRIVER(4.40.7.0) v1.6' driver and then rebooted your PC first, right? (I installed mine from the VZAccess CD I got from Verizon. Driver should be online somewhere too...) For everyone else: I installed from Vista, followed the PDF exactly, everything worked fine. After setting Location ON for GPS, google maps works for me with default settings. Also, the popup letters on the keyboard slow things down a lot! I type faster than the keyboard can keep up and it misses half of what I type. Hopefully there's a quick way to disable this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brain100 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) First time poster, long time lurker. I've had the I910 Omnia for awhile now and was upset about the GPS locked down. This process worked perfectly for me. I now have GPS with google maps and the phone picks up 8-10 satellites in my home!
