i910 roms/applications

[Guest Man07Utd10]

I've recently been reading up on the Omnia, trying to decide whether or not to buy it. I just figured out there is a big difference between the i900 and the i910, in terms of customizing it with firmware, etc. Unfortunately I have verizon, so I would have to get the 910. Now that the phone has been out for 3+ months, does the 910 have the same roms and applications as the 900? Is it a mistake getting the 910 if it doesn't have the ability to be fully customized?

thanks in advance!

same applications? pretty much, maybe with a few exceptions. There are no working modified ROMs for Verizon's i910. But it is still a stellar piece of hardware at a great price. Get it anyway (or the Touch Pro if you got the cash.) Only things worth buying from VZW currently.

Theres PLENTY of customization available without ROMs. Just look around B)

The biggest downside to the device currently is the non-working GPS. But we're working on that here, and VZW has said they are working on unlocking it by "the first half of 2009." While plenty of us are skeptical this will happen, we're hopeful, they did publicly release this info, and we're working hard anyway trying to unlock it nonetheless.

i've tried google searching looking for i910 applications...is there a list somewhere? or should I assume that all the 900 applications will work the same? (S2U2, S2V, paul's list of freeware, etc.)

I have an i910 and found a whole bunch of good info from this forum and xda developers. Smilpak, a forum user here, put together a great comprehensive list of hacks/updates that will work with i910

I opted to install TouchFlo 2D (I used the 19b cab from here , there is a thread about that on the frontpage here as well). Its a cool UI, but takes up almost all of the memory on your "Device" partition. If could do it again, I might try spb mobile shell or ThrottleLauncher, which can do similar themes with much less disk usage.

Also check out the "s2" applications from http://www.ac-s2.com/ . Some really cool stuff there, epecially s2u and s2p.

Also get the HTC Sensor DLLs from the "games" thread ( here is the latest version, I think). This lets you use any accelrometer app that was written for HTC handsets. Somewhere in that thread you can find a version of "teeter" which is a fun little game that uses the HTC accelrometer.

That should get you started anyway, have fun!

DON'T get the touch pro while it is still good they made it weaker for verizon. omnia i910 and i900 almost the exact same. except we dont have custom roms yet. gps is locked to vz navigator. but its excellent phone with many perks that makes me not wanna give it up unless they come out with somethng extremely good.

word of advice don't use a rom for the i900 on your i910 cus you will have a nice papper weight after you brick it B)

Great info in this post, thanks! I've had my i910 for a couple weeks now and am slowly discovering and implementing useful tweaks, so this helps out.

I've had the i910 from VZW for about 4 months now and If I could go back I would not purchase it again! Although all the tweaking and apps make it a great phone, there are numerous faults with it. Poor reception being the major one, I continue to loose and miss calls due to a weak signal where as my Q had great reception with no explaniation from VZW. (Typical)

If you still opt to get the phone this is what I currently run.

Clear Temp, Highly recommended

Windows Live

Advance Confi tool

Skyfire

Pocket uno

PPC Personalizer

Task Bar ++

Wktask, another Highly recommended

I contact, Highly recommended

Adobe Plugin

JBlend

Key Swop

Homescreen ++

SBP Mobile, User Interface a MUST HAVE

LVM Top Battery

HTC Album, Highly recommended

Wake Up on SMS

Touch response

SPB watcher

finger menu

Slide to view

SPB Weather

PHM Registry, Use to tweak another must have.

along with plenty of games.

Hope this helps, it is a lot of work to get it where you need it to be, just to be user freindly.

I wouldnt do it again.

B) I have had an almost entirely opposite experience. Other phones on other carriers and VZ would work sporadically at best in my neighborhood, but my Omnia is almost always at 2+ bars. I have yet to drop a call!

there is no such thing as a 'i910' app in the way that 'iphone apps' exist (unless youre referring to an app that allows for WQVGA resolution). if you google for "free windows mobile apps", the 910 will run almost any application that was designed for windows mobile 5+. as such, you have an almost limitless amount of progs to dl or buy (although most of the good ones are free B) )

they only took out some RAM, it still has plenty, and more than the Omnia by a bit.

But and WinMo 6.1 app should run on the Omnia, that means almost all i900 apps and many many others you can find in many different places such as those mentioned in here already.

is there a free registry editor for the i910? if not, which one's the best/easiest to use?

That one is freeware but not the most finger friendly. It's good enough for me though.

Also check out http://Read the site rules no warez links or requests/ for plenty of "free" apps for the I910/ I900

I also add mobiler to tfmendonca's list of Apps (control PPC from desk/laptop).
