Verizon Omnia (SCH-I910) Custom ROM Discussion

[Guest WoZZeR999]

I did. It said that in my post? :excl:

whoops, my mistake. Call it PDA.nb0.

[Guest Foster318]

Actually, I'm almost there. It's kind of a jumble of a few different i900 kitchens. I'm trying to make everything I can into a package, so I can make a *Super Lite*, *Lite*, Standard, M2D, maybe a throttle launcher one, maybe a SPB one. And I could do all that from 1 folder.

I'm going to take a look into 6.5 this weekend, but I'm not 100% sure if I can do it.

You are awesome! Thanks for all your hard work, can't wait till these come out!

[Guest Adrynalyne]

Gotcha. Thanks a ton.

[Guest blazingwolf]

Umm, where is the nb0 at? I don't see it and it looks like everything is broken apart correctly.

[Guest WoZZeR999]

The .nb0 is the first split from OSnbtools.

Extractbin does another extraction on it.

so if you do OSnbtools -sp image.img, you'll get image.img.bin.nb0. rename that file.

Oh, Ok. I cheated and used your extractrom_bin. Worked like a charm :excl:

[Guest WoZZeR999]

Okay, I think Ive done enough testing for at least a semi-public release. This release is not for the faint of heart, it's basically a clean slate. If I have removed stuff that you want, you'll have to go find a cab for it, figure out how to put it back in (today2 needs secst.dll or something, there is also a today2 cab floating around somewhere).

Things removed (maybe more, going off the top of my head now):

Today

Today 2

Samsung Widgits

Connected Home

Digital Frame

FM Radio

Main Menu (you'll want to re-assign this button, it will be task manager/switcher in later releases)

Podcasts

RSS Reader

Ringtones (you'll want to find a new ringtone and set it, this release comes with none)

Shozu

VZAppzone link

VZNav link

Updated:

CF 2.0 -> 3.5

Flash lite 2.1 -> 3.1

All EXE's optimized

Added:

Official Facebook app

Latest google maps

Java

Total Commander

Things you have to do yourself after installing:

Enable GPS (if you don't know how to do this, you probably shouldn't be flashing)

Internet seems to work most the time, but if it doesn't, the data number is #777

Disable the Today plug-in that is loaded

--Probably more that I do not know about.

Link: See my later threads for an updated version

Instructions:

Extract rar to UDML directory.

Open UDML

Click PDA

FlashOS.bin will show up.

Flash as normal. You are only flashing the PDA part of the ROM, so you can easily go back.

You should be able to flash back to the original PDA img with UDML v2.3. Load the .img, uncheck eboot and CSC, and this will put you back to the Original CC20 rom.

Please let me know of any problems you have with the rom, and I will try to fix them over the weekend.

I've had a few downloads, anyone try it yet? I also don't know if it works with the old Eboot,CSC and Phone. I recommend updating your eboot and csc to the current firmware, then flash over the PDA with this.

wow, you really should have mentioned that right away. I was actually considering flashing the PDA part with your image, while my phone is still old, original VZW firmware, which I couldnt update to new leaked ROM. Without knowing if it works with the original ROM this is kinda useless...not going to kill my 2nd Omnia in 1 day span.

[Guest oraclegustavo]

how much device memory did you have left after installing cooked rom?

[Guest yojoe600]

flashing now...

[Guest gayflag]

The new leaked firmware seems to be a bit faster than the stock wares. I would however, like to see that vzappzone crap, and basically anything else that reminds me i use a verizon phone, gone; off my device. I pay for it, i should be able to use it how i want to.

[Guest yojoe600]

finished workin well

[Guest oraclegustavo]

finished workin well

how much device memory do you have free.

[Guest yojoe600]

92.6 mb free of 125

[Guest WoZZeR999]

There should be around 90-95 megs I think, maybe more. I actually haven't flashed the version I released, but I have a new one that I'm going to flash with. It includes the official youtube app, along with all refrences to VZnav and appzone gone (I hope). I'm leaving the visual voice mail in because I use it.

I forgot to mention, all non US keyboards were removed as well.

If there are any programs people would like to see cooked in, let me know. As long as it's good, and free (FOSS or legally free), I may cook it in.

Hi~

manilla 2d, please

[Guest WoZZeR999]

I'm reflashing right now, but I'll take a look into the wifi.

M2D is easy to do, I just have to click an extra button when I build it. Once I get this lite version stable, I'll start working on M2D. It will be based on how I like M2D, but it's easy to change by editing the XML files and stuff. If you have a current version of M2D you like, all you have to do it back up the correct files, and over write them in a cooked version.

[Guest cheifkeiff]

Yeah, I'm gonna take a shot at 6.5 this weekend, it seems like it's gonna be a pain in the ass.

As for voice nav software, I'm not going to include illegal software in the rom, so if you know of free voice nav software I can include that in.

I will be flashing my ridiculously lite rom in about an hour, I'll let you know how that goes.

6.5 would be sick wish i could help but i will def donate to whoever could get it done!

[Guest WoZZeR999]

I'm gonna give 6.5 a shot over the weekend, but it's looking like it's gonna be a pain/out of my ability. Who knows though.

I have a few 6.5 kitchens, so it will probably be a jumble of crap, and may or may not work.

Latest version of my cooked has 91 megs free. I just keep adding stuff. But VZNav and VZAppZone icons are gone.

Edit: Flashing with a untouched cooked rom (I did the whole extraction process, but didn't remove anything) to see if that fixes the wifi issue. If it does, then I have to figure out what file I deleted that deals with wifi.

Yes yes please remove all this verizon s*** off any cooked roms. What they did to the phone was a disgrace and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

All of the verizon s*** is garbage anyway. None of it was useful. Their app store or whatever was a joke, vz navigator is a joke, the music app is a joke. Every thing about verizon is a joke. badword them. This is my first and last phone with this company.

[Guest WoZZeR999]

Any Branded phone is going to come with stuff installed.

[Guest Omega Ra]

cook in the Advanced Config v3.3 that is a good tweaking program. And I actually like the today 2 set-up...with the black theme. don't know about m2d as I have never used it.Oh and maybe fingerboard 2.1 as well.
