Loading different OS into Omnia II

---

Hi All,

I'd like to know if it is possible or not to load a different OS ROM into Samsung Omnia II i8000 ? eg. Android 2.2 ROM ? is it possible or vice versa, loading Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Pro into Samsung Galaxy S.

Thanks.

I was thinking same thing!

I'm ready to buy a Galaxy S and I was wondering if can be converted to WM 6.5.x as the hardware is better than my actual Omnia II.

exactly yes, that is what I was thinking to do :)
i wonder if it is possible here.

Must be possible, but nobody have made it. Windows Mobile 6.5 is outdated, i would like android at least.

yes, so do I man, I wish someone can share the instruction here or at least their experience in loading Android OS in Samsung Omnia II i8000 mobile ?

Guys there isnt a real forum here for android on omnia II. But we have a great deal of the hardware working on it. Now the phone function isnt that long away. Look at:

You can see it is quite speedy. It has a 3x times higher filebenchmark than the galaxy s.

There will be a functional beta soon.

I have ordered a Galaxy S (White) but intend to keep my Omnia II for other things, such as GPS/Navigation unless the Galaxy S proves itself a worthy contender with FroYo 2.2

As for Android on Omnia II, check this link out http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-...ee-first-post/

How to load different OS

---

I'm interested in doing the same but I would like to try Symbian. Just the method in how to load a new OS is kinda unknown. WM 6.1 (on my Omnia II) is pretty slow, and have heard symbian works extremely well on Omnia. My mate has it on his omnia I and man it's smooth. He's not one too available for helping though. Other options are cookers for WM but not so sure yet
Any help on where and how? Recommendations?
Cheers

urrently there are no plans for porting to Symbian omnia 2, and I do not think is even possible, given the different resolutions (symbian 640x360 omnia 2480x800 )
