If Carlsberg made Omnia Roms.....

[Guest cruddasj]

Hello MoDaCo, it has been a while :) As I have recently replaced my digitizer, it has given a new lease of life into my omnia. So much so, that although I said that I was leaving, I have come back to release a possibly final copy of True Blue and Black Beauty.

True blue:

It's my most polished ROM I have made to date and anyone that has tried True Blue in the past, I would reccomend flashing to it.

The build seems stable and fast :lol: It is basically what I believe WinMo 6.5 should have as default, a cross between speed, design and tools :D

Memory figures are:

Storage:

Total: 150.12mb

In use: 13.95

Free: 136.17

Program:

Total: 97.24mb

In use: 55.23

Free: 41.99

Changes include:

Updated OS core

Now use large icons

Updated Google Maps to newest version

Stripped out a lot of apps

Sorted out icons in submenu's (except office, but its not very noticeable)

Further improvements to touch response

Test it and see what you think. From what I can see, there are no bugs :D

DO NOT use a download manager to download the ROM as if you didn't know by now, they can corrupt the .exe

Also check the MD5 checksum before flashing for reassurance

Quick setup:

Before you flash the ROM, make a folder on an SD card called 'XDA_UC' and put all your fav apps in it.

Once ROM is flashed it will install all the apps that you place int he XDA_UC folder automatically.

Black Beauty 23569:

This is my take on a Manila ROM, with alot of effort put into the graphic design in the ROM.

This again is my personal best version. Have improved touch response, fixed the icons etc

Now if you turn the phone on its side, the background will cater for it (you have to select a different theme, then go back to the black one) unfortunately I can't cook it straight in =/

Build seems stable and faster than previous versions.

Quick setup:

Before you flash the ROM, make a folder on an SD card called 'XDA_UC' and put all your fav apps in it.

Once ROM is flashed it will install all the apps that you place int he XDA_UC folder automatically.

Once booted, select another theme - e.g. Black and Blue. Then select 'Black' again.

All done :) Should have some nice looking theme/graphics etc :)

As stated above, DO NOT use a download manager to download the ROM. It can very easily brick your phone if you do!

Hey matey. How are you? The digitizer cost me £7 (including postage) here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Have used them often and they're a good company :lol: products have always arrived quickly and worked well.

As fitted it myself, that was all the costs involved. A tech might charge you £10 extra, so your probs looking realisticly at about £20 if you take it to a shop.

Great work

I've been asked this many times. To keep it short, no, I am not going to cook a ROM with omnialite apps installed. If cooked in, they can't be uninstalled.

Just put the omnialite apps in the XDA_UC folder and it will overwrite the original samsung ones, installing the apps and keeping memory usage low.

[Guest cruddasj]

Just noticed that in landscape mode, there are only 3 columns for menus (e.g. start menu) Is this normal in the new builds? :lol:

[Guest acrocosm]

Ram usage is extremely high. ~42mb, why?

3 columns start menu doesn't sound normal. It should be 5

Fixed the colum issue, for some reason it was the default setting :s

RAM usage with black beauty is high unfortunately, always has been. It's to do with the manila theme coupled with livvengloss i think.

If you can find out how to lower it, let me know :lol:

Hi cruddasj,

welcome back to our forum

one small doubt, not exactly regarding your rom

I just observed it that the storage space in different roms are different

for eg.

In your rom it is

Total: 150.12mb

In Ock's rom,

Total: 133.54mb

In Nick's Rom

Total: 150mb ~

In yonn1981 rom

Total: 89.16mb

How does it differ and is there any way to increase it.

Hey there. I believe that the storage space is whatever is left after the ROM has been flashed. A light ROM usually gives more storage space. Unfortunately there's no way to change it without a kitchen and cooking your own ROM as it is on the cooking level that you can strip programs out to free up storage :lol:

If you want a light ROM, give true blue a whirl and let me know your thoughts :D

"Black Beauty" That looks very nice ..Thank for the rom "is great"

[Guest chrian]

Thank you for the Rom (Black Beauty).

But I have a problem with mobile videos. When I take a video the camera programme says that the file is unavailable. I tried to play the video with media player but I saw the same message. I also tried with Core player and TCPMP but nothing.

Does anybody know the solution?

[Guest cookiemonzter]

Just installed Black Beauty and it is by far the best ROM my Omnia has ever seen :)

I hope it continues working as it has for this past... half an hour :lol:

Thumbs up for you!

Hey. Thanks :) lol. It will keep working as I have been running it for about 4 months :( Was the last time I cooked for the omnia.

[Guest Ruswanto]

Hey. Thanks :P lol. It will keep working as I have been running it for about 4 months :D Was the last time I cooked for the omnia.

this is the build (23569) i've been looking for

is there any plan for you to cook this build by using Samsung Widget?

i love that UI but seems no one cook with that UI

thanks bro for the ROM

will test it

[Guest taktu]

Installed Black Beauty yesterday and I noticed that after unlocking the brightness remains dimmed, as if idle. The ambient sensor doesn't adjust anything, neither does the manual brightness slider. If i soft reset, I get full brightness until locking or using the power button.

Does anybody have the same problem?

[Guest aldian]

Hi cruddasj,

could you cook your true blue with rom build 28244? i think it's faster, and i like your true blue.. B)
