Hi, I use CERRegEditor and when I'm trying to change the value I get "Access denied" message. Any ideas?


I use Resco Explorer with registry plugin and it is ok. You can also use SKTools to change registry value.

Hey guys!

I propose to keep in this topic tweaks specific to our device.

Here is the first one that will let you have 10mb more of free Program memory B) :

- Disabling of Samsung dialer:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:1, you should change to 0 and reboot your Omnia

So you will have a standart windows dialer without any screen lock thing from Samsung and app. 10mb more of free memory. The only thing you can regret is the vibro on dialer buttons

Thanks to Senator for this tweak!

In my Omnia I got a 16Gb mem card + 4GB of inbuilt memory. Why would 10mb make any difference?
You guys must really exploit your poor Omnias uh?

This is not 10mb of storage space that we have enough with Omnia but Program memory that is used to run programs and applications. And it is always good to have more of this kind of memory B)

And by the way, I newer knew an option for 4GB builtin memory with Omnia. I have mine with 16GB storage (My Storage) and 8GB memory card (microsdhc). But the usable builtin storage is below 60mb with stock Samsung rom (right after a hard-reset).

Two options:
1) You're using a chinese version B)
2) There's something wrong with either the numbers or the names

Threaded SMS Input Space from theflipside

1. Open Total Commander
2. Browse to the "Windows" folder
3. Find the file: thread_sms.htm
4. Press to edit with the little notebook below from Total Commander


You will see the following HTML Code:

____________________________________



























____________________________________

go and find:


Replace the height "35" with "90" or what ever you like

The hack is really the same for all WM devices that are using threaded SMS and is not Omnia specific but hopefully answers your question B)

You can turn off the pop up of keyboard every time there is an input space on today:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:1

You can go with brightness of you device lower than the settings allow you, but you need an app that can handle brightness of omnia because the standard samsung settings of brightness will not see the lowest level. I know at least 2 apps that can do it - Indibar3 (http://www.apoxsoft.com/) and MVBacklight (http://4pda.ru/forum...showtopic=25964 Only in Russian)

in HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight we change Brightness to 0

It's true ;my fault.
the phone has 16GB , four Gb is just my puny sd card.
Now I understand why some minutes ago when I downloaded " FtouchSL" and then installed on the omnia , I had 3 options instead of 2: my storage; my card; and "device".
I installed it on "Device" because it was the standard setting.
I hope I did the right thing.
Or what?

So, basically you are telling me that there are 3 memories on the Omnia: your card, the 16GB of "my storage", and this "Device" place, in which to put programs and apps; is that right?

Now please tell me : where should I place "MS Voice Command"?
In "Device" again?
Is there enough space?
What if I would put it in "my storage" for exemple? Would that spell tragedy?

Thanks for all your help guys , is very much apreciated and you will all be remembered in my evening prayers, but don't laugh at me :this is my first win mob. device (i'm an ex, deluded, symbian faithful) and I have had it for less than 2 weeks.
And I discovered that there really is a lot to learn compared to the few tricks one needs to get his symbian gizmo to work properly.
Have some mercy.

Would this turn off the dialer completely so I could use something like iContact to replace it?

Samsung Dialer - yes, it will be completely off, but there will be the standard windows dialer instead.

You have only two kind of memory on your device - Storage kind of memory, that stores every bit of information on your device (music, docs, programs, photo etc). This memory could be built-in like our My Storage and Device, it could be removable like Storage card but it is the same type of memory. And there is another type of memory - Program memory (RAM), that allows the ppc to use and run programs.

You was right to install FTouchSL in main memory of device (Device) because it is the fastest memory on ppc. If you have enough space I think (not sure - I never use Voice Commander) you should install it in main memory too.
