Well sure, it could be a coincidence :) But I tried to update the normal way a sec. before doing the method on the blog and it didnt work... So it might be that MS pushed the update to my phone about 2 minutes later or it might have something to do with the flight mode...

OMG guys! It worked but a little bit different :D I folowed the instructions on the blog but: -I shut down zune -Turned off the phone and connected it (while off) to the pc -phone starts on itself -then I went to settings and turned the flight mode ON As soon as I did it Zune started...

yes, it'll work perfectly fine :)

I really dont think that it will be march... What is ballmer suppose to talk about in 2 weeks? And it would be a little bit emberassing to talk about a new update when the 1st isnt even out yet. Since this c&p update doesnt change much for the devs there is hoping that it wont take that long to...

Yeah, I read the post and wanted to put it on my phone as I need the maps for germany but decided to wait for the 1st update from ms. Since they said that they patched the hole for the jailbreak. O2 germany will release a nav app from telmap sometime in the coming weeks I hope but I read that it...

This looks like most of these apps are form t-mobile and some samsung ones. The t-mobile apps suck though :D Only the navigation app is good but you can only use it with a t-mobile sim inside...:(

Start reading this thread... ;)

This way I also hope that we will get the updates straight from ms and dont have to wait for the ****ty operators :D

If you have omnia 7 then you could flash the newest firmware und it'll become unbranded. I did the same a week ago and now my omnia is t-mobile crap free :D

I wrote it in the other thread... but I had this problem too and after I flashed the newest firmware it was gone. Now the screen responds perfect no matter where I place the phone. You should check the thread with omnia firmware out ;)

All omnia 7 phones in germany are from t-mobile and therefore unlocked. The only branding they have is a splashscreen and t-mobile search in the ie. You can flash a new rom though and it will be completely unbranded. I dont know the exact prices right now but it should cost around 520-590€. Hope...

Hi guys! I flashed the phone last night and love having no t-mobile crap :D One thing that I noticed after the update is that the touscreen responds perfectly now when placed on a soft surface... Before the update it acted weird but now it works as if it was in a hand. The only negative thing...

Or maybe a bad flash... I updated last night and everything is there...

They are all t-mobile branded in Germany... T-mobile is also (officially) exclusive retailer here.

Hi guys! Quick question about the ROM here: If I flash the german 16gb t-mobile omnia with the latest ROM will I be able to update the phone whenever MS releases the update? And if the phone would become "unbranded" after the flash? I'm wondering about the whole update process and how it is...

Im really positively surprised about the battery life on my omnia 7. I have 2 exchange accounts on push, a bunch of location services and apps on all the time. With medium usage I get about 1 1/2 days and if I dont touch the phone and just leave it running with all the services and exchange, I...

ok, makes sense... will look through my library but take for example dr. dre. There are not that many ways to mispell him :( I tried every possible combination. And still zune cant match him. Searching for him works though...Really weird stuff.

The thing is that it doesnt work all the time... I did the things that you wrote a few weeks ago from a different thread. It worked with some artists. I could hit the "arrow" button and then it would load after a second the available tracks. But on some artists if I hit the button it shows that...

If you edit the contact you can change the picture there. If you have linked your contact from different accounts (eg live, facebook) you can choose which picture to take for that contact. Usually there is one that is sharp. After that your Tile should have the crisp pic on it. I had blurry pics...

Hi rashdahs, here is the shop where I bought my phones the last 6 years. Their prices are unbeatable but I dont know if they ship internationally. Pretty sure if you ask them nicely the will. Anyways, here is the link: http://www.handytick.de/handys/samsung.htm ps: Go for the cheaper one. It's...

But how can the picture/file be so hidden that we cant see with the "unhide all files" option in windows? Because I looked almost everywhere and couldnt find anything... :( Maybe this is stored somewhere else?

1. The thing is that there are some artists which have the background images only on certain albums. It's really weird... I was trying for days to figure that stuff out and came to thinking that the music genre has something to do with the tagging also. For example I had few enigma albums and 2...

Hi there! I just wanted to thank you for the great app and the rapid development. The only thing I have to nitpick right now is the app icon itself... it doesnt really match the metro UI :( Could you change that if possible? I could also make you one if you want me too or dont have time :)

Yes, you can. Every official T-Mobile store should have them but they could/will be more expensive. You can try in different stores though. Some might have them as these shops sell all phones with(out) any contract.

oh dang! Thanks a LOT! This is it. They are all trial apps. I remember now that I read it somewhere. phew... I almost thought that I had to hard reset :o Thanks again

Hi there! I somehow cant update the apps. I have an Omnia from Tmobile. On the marketplace tile there are 2 apps that have updates ready for them. Whenever I go inside the marketplace and hit the update button, the app seems to download but the status jumps after few seconds to "installing the...

Really strange stuff... I have the omnia from tmobile germany and I cant mute the sound... :confused: Maybe there are some settings missing?

another small one is the menu/toolbar at the bottom. You dont have to press the 3 dots on the right. You can also press or drag the left/blank side.

it depends on your location on your live id. So if you have na US account, you'll get all the features like backgrounds and bio about the artist. UK account should work too btw. I have two accounts (US and German) and the differences are major. The US account is perfect with all the nice extras...

hmmmmm.... I think I didnt see a notice either... Is it possible that the message pops up silently and then goes away after few seconds? So if you have the phone in your pocket, you wont know about the battery? Or maybe it is manufacturer related? What phones do you guys have? Mine's omnia.

Not that much of a trick but a notice. When the battery is almost empty, the camera button wont work and wont start the camera app when the phone is locked. Got me scared last night :D I thought that was a bug.

There are no branding free omnia 7 phones here in Germany. They all come from tmobile. But, you can delete all the installed tmobile apps. The only thing that stays is the tmobile boot up logo (max. 3 seconds) and the search page IN the internet explorer when you press the hardware search...

Here are some links. Dont know about shipping though. Just drop them a line and they should ship it internationally. http://www.handyattacke.de/handys/samsung-omnia-7-i8700-8gb-ebony-black-t-mobile-hardware-software.htm...

I dont know but the messenger app runs pretty good on my omnia 7. I can chat with my messenger friends :D what else do you guys need? I bet facebook chat will be added soon. And again, it wont get more official ;) Like MJ would say: "This is it!"

But it wont get more official. I read somewhere that the company that made the current wlm was paid by ms to code the app as an official one. I'm pretty sure though that it will get updated with more features. The current version certainly lacks some features compared to the ios version. ps...

Did ya'll look on the marketplace??? There is a live messenger there. The company that made isn't microsoft but they got paid by ms to do the app and it's the official messenger app... Dont really get the confusion :p

I can pretty much co-sign what root beer said. Coming from a bunch of wm phones and lately iphone 3gs I say the battery is better then the one in the iphone. I have been using the phone a lot with everything turned on and it almost lasted for 2 days. Really like wp7 and the phone except for the...

Hi guys! I just got my Omnia 7 yesterday and set my Live account with the phone up. It syncs perfectly both ways instantly, calendar, email and contacts. The only gripe that I have is that I dont get a notification if I receive a new email in a folder. The live tile displays only the main inbox :(

Hey RideTheTube, hats off to this great rom! I've been using it for a few days now and its really fast and nice :) How did you get in german? I got 2 small questions though :D Is it possible to get the 3 row large icons in the startmenu? And my biggest gripe is the htc scrolling. Could you...

wow, a german 6.5 rom? did you translate it or is it an official release? About to download it...just one more question... what is the native scrolling in this rom? htc touchscroll/touchflo or the new ms wm 6.5 scrolling? Thanks in advance!

even though I wasnt looking for the icons, thanks a lot anyway jug6ernaut! I will find some use for them :D

Stretched Icons Hey guys, does anybody else have this problem? I created a new panel and added a new app page to it. Afterwards I added my icons, which have the same dimensions as the fave people plugin icons. Everything works perfect but the icons are kind of stretched and not proportional as...

dont want to be an ass but those icons are not the default ones from wm 6.5. They are nice but not the original stuff :D

quick question: If I delete all the reg keys that involve scrolling (kovsky/htc) would I have the native then? Or is cooked in and impossible? Thanks

hehe, sounds nice! Looking forward to it :D

@gtrab About the scrolling, I dont know if that will help you but when I cooked my rom I deleted all scroll/touch related OEMs (kovsky &htc). After that I had the native wm 6.5 scrolling everywhere except for spb Insight. Tried to figure out why it didnt work in spb insight and gave up :(

hehe, it was new to me too but noticed it over time... you can actually compare it on your rom. The native scrolling appears when you click on the clock and in the alarms. Then hit the alarm selection icon and there is a list of the sounds. Notice how the scrolling feels smoother and that if you...

First of all thank you for the great rom, gtrab! Tested it the whole day and love it. Very clean and fast. One thing I noticed though is that you included the htc scrolling... is there some way to disable it and just have the native wm 6.5 scrolling? It's much smoother than htc's :D Thanks

Great job! Thanks a lot!
