Guest enoir

Recommended Posts

With Samsung's efforts going into the Symbian Omnia HD, doe this mean that IA2 is the last ROM we will ever see?

I think there's going to be a new ROM with new widgets UI - I saw some preliminary videos/screenshots.

Yea I saw a new version of TouchWiz but I dont think its for the Omnia. Its for their non ppc handsets

You're right - TouchWiz doesn't mean it's for Omnia.

So it looks we may stick with DXIA2 for a long time or forever at least for the drivers part.

That's different, the new TouckWiz is suppose to contains 3D icons whereas DXIA2/DZIX2 doesn't contains any...

i have my doubts that samsung will release this for our omnia, because this is not based on windows mobile and why would they now change the entire operating system for this "old" phone?

i think they will focus on their new smartphones and they will have this interface.

a big concern of mine, before buying this phone (VZN i910) was the fact that I saw Samsung coming out with new phones - but not mastering one. last time I checked, in the states, we were waiting on our FIRST update. with a million Omniia's sold I would think that support, apps, and programs would be established by now or at least in the works. Love the phone, but I am wary.

Samsung announces phone like weekly

So they dont care if any obstacles that try to stop them and microsoft is one of them:-

1. Microsoft want to limit WM device in the market

2. WM still doesnt support capacitive (omnia HD screen is capacitive)

So samsung chosed Symbian s60 5th instead for Omnia HD

YOU ARE RIGHT.

and samsung is new kid on the block of windows mobile.

while htc is founder of windows mobile.

and almost all company started to adopt windows mobile.

but microsoft is unhappy with those who are adding new ui instead the oldest win mobile ui of the world.

can we also migrate the os from windows to other (symbian, macosx, android, blackberry)?

it should be done.

atleast to symbian or android

That is exactly what Samsung are doing with the Omnia HD. It will be Symbian.

Personally, I like WinMo (after customisation!!!)and would love to see 6.5 on our Omnia.

Chefs.................. Any news on a new base ROM? Seems like IB is long overdue!!!!
