Guest jonboyuk Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 First of all, I recently updated an old thread, but felt I should start a new one. I am confused why people claim that the Omnia can't deal with such a complex interface as HTC's Touch 3D. This is how I understand it :- Unlike newer HTC devices, the Omnia has no graphical hardware support - however, lets face it, the things that TouchFlo 3D does can't be that taxing? It's not pumping thousands of polygons around everywhere! The Omnia's processor is actually superior to most recent generation HTC phones and it does have a driver for Direct 3D (albeit software). It uses D3D Driver (Intel XScale Optimized D3DM Software Driver). Can't a bit of clever jiggery pokery use these drivers and the better processor in leui of the ATI accel? The Omnia also uses JBlend v.20080605 (Support 3D games), so why not an interface. By no means do I have the skill to make this work, but I bet someone does. I'm just brainstorming....sorry - mind mapping.
Guest Michael122w Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 My understanding is that the only thing holding us back from Manila 3D working is the appropriate 3D drivers. The omnia has an operational Direct3D driver. However for Manila 3D we need an Open GLES 3D driver - we currently do not have such a driver working properly for our hardward.
Guest jonboyuk Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Oh I see, it's the age old Direct 3D Vs Open GL thingy! Can it not be run under Direct 3D then? Come on you clever programmers!
Guest chokia Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Yeah aint these xda developers quickly extract goodies (drivers and apps) from Omnia and put in their HTC phones including that D3D drivers? They even fascinated with Omnia Touchwiz. And we here thought that Omnia like so poor phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417825
Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 It's one of main advantages of HTC, the XDA-developers community is really big. Here, Paul and others I can't name right now are giving all they have, but Omnia needs more time for that. Maybe if Samsung did encourage developers... Then I believe it's one of the best PDA Phones available on the market, in both elegance/looks and performance it packs inside. Omnia was a very bold move, after iphone, to create a phone that runs WM and doesn't include a stylus (it's there but, you know, it's not actually for use IMHO). Almost no hardware buttons, all optimized for touch, all optimized for thumb... But, nevertheless, it's the community that makes it better. I wish Samsung sees that before it's too late.
Guest JDawg183 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 This thread hasnt been posted to for a long time. Anyone figured out how to get TF3D on omnia?
Guest chokia Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Funny thing is xda developer also continue develop manila2D for HTC phones
Guest mtglo Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Hey all, Just a running and continuous offer for here or xda.... anyone that can port TOUCHFLO 3d successfully - fully working for the Omnia (WQVGA) - will get $100 via Paypal from me.
Guest WAIKIKI728 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 And from me 30 euros...i have downdoaded the spb shell 3 and works great but i miss manila ....and manila 3d woul be great...i hope this is possible...
Guest Antonioffaxii Posted April 19, 2009 Report Posted April 19, 2009 Haha this is why bribes are fantastic. The main reason why this hasn't been done though is because of the clash between Direct3D and OpenGL if it was possible then wouldn't it have been done by now?

Perhaps in this case we're really need big support from Samsung if they want their OMNIA brand keep going they must continue released the updating software & Rom for omnia like HTC have done several years ago, that's why HTC have big fan and loyal user with their products. What do you think guys? cheers
Guest Omniaaddicted Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Agree, with all of u guys.. :D omnia brands not only for one country...but all around the world. so, samsung must concern with omnia...coz many people use it...
Guest Omniaaddicted Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 oh, one more time.. Do you all realize, there is no guest book at samsung website... so..how to deliver our opinion, criticism.... maybe samsung need to know what the user need cheers
Guest Natsirt Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 oh, one more time.. Do you all realize, there is no guest book at samsung website... so..how to deliver our opinion, criticism.... maybe samsung need to know what the user need cheers We should all stand outside the samsung building with big wooden signs that have messages on them!
Guest dayspring2099us Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 We should all stand outside the samsung building with big wooden signs that have messages on them! as far as i know, samsung never concerned with their customer needed especially with upgrading firmware into higher OS. you could see from all their smartphone product only stuck with their current OS. it's totally different with HTC product...even HTC himalaya which released almost 5 years ago still exist with WM6.5...:D I don't know whether our Omnia i900 could stand as long as HTC Himalaya.
Guest Omniaaddicted Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) We should all stand outside the samsung building with big wooden signs that have messages on them! OMG!! please samsung don't abandon us... :D Edited May 21, 2009 by Omniaaddicted
Guest gianton Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) At least we have our great chefs in Modaco (Khuanchai, sector, qbus, shokka9, dddrko etc.), otherwise I would have sold my OMNIA already! :D On topic, I tried M2D, MS3, PointUI2 and now Titanium 7. I find Titanium 7 to be quite handy as was M2D. Now to have Touch Flo 3D in our OMNIAs would be ideal but it's a hardware issue therefore I think it's a dream which won't come true.

You're right about HTC vs. Samsung in "customer satisfaction" and "after-sale support", in general. But I don't think the WM6.5 ROM for Himalaya is something that's released by HTC :D So, It's the user-base doing great things, not the company. Actually, HTC is starting to go down big-time on those fields, too... At least we have our great chefs in Modaco (Khuanchai, sector, qbus, shokka9, dddrko etc.), otherwise I would have sold my OMNIA already! :lol: Count me on that train already :lol: It's very interesting thing with Omnia that, although the vendor doesn't encourage custom development for the device the community is adapting very fast. I don't remember that much ROM options back at the Jam times :( We're lucky...
