I accept NO responsibility for any damage caused to your handset before, during and after updating it with these ROMs. Using custom ROMs has risks attached to it, and can be dangerous. Proceed with caution.

THE UPDATER IS DESIGNED FOR USE ON XP MACHINES ONLY< VISTA IS NOT SUPPORTED UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO

Please do not ask me to add anything or to explain why stuff is not there. These ROMs change all the time due to many factors. My ROMs generally have the same apps in them so you know what to expect. RESPECT TO SECTOR AS ALWAYS.

UPDATE: 17/05/09

Due to time not being infinate, i no longer have time to make ROMs. So the ROMs that are available, are the last ones i will make.

I may make a final WM6.5 when we have official FINAL release, but til then, NOTHING new from the shokka9. Sorry guys.

So this is my last WM6.5 build for a while.

Just like to say that you guys have been great and everyone involved in Omnia is cool. I not disappearing so i will still be active in the forums. Helping out etc.

BIG THANKS TO SECTOR, QBUS, SZTUPY, PASSOA, SECANY, KHUANCHAI, WIZARD & ANYONE ELSE WHO HELPED ME OUT.

The TRUTH is out there, its Omnia

UPDATED: 02/05/09 - PLEASE READ
New FIRMWARE; DXID1; Phone part also, so it will update your Phone part now.

Removed Total Commander, install if you like it. Giving the freedom to install Resco or similar.

Rotation Service is best for advanced users, as it can cause a few issues, but it is worth using if you know how.

Added SSMaHo to this post, not cooked, again, for advanced users. So install as the link says, it works very well and is easy to use and set up than the older SSMaPa. Please use the link provided for help.

To install my M2D theme download this http://www.mediafire.com/?qhju2mynymd if you are using LITE ROM

** If you dont already have a 'My Ringtones' folder setup for your tones, please do this before (or after) flashing the Omnia. I remove all standard tones, so when you set up your notifications, there will be nothing to select and this may cause u a problem. Do this....

Set up a folder IN THE ROOT on either your 'my storage' or 'storage card' (memory card) called 'My Ringtones'. Sorry for the basics...just making sure tho.

Put all your ringtones, sounds etc in there. Every time u flash Omnia, it will use those folders (and the one in the device (which will be empty) **

you are new to this

set up a folder on either your 'my storage' or 'storage card' (memory card) called 'My Ringtones'. Sorry for the basics bro...just making sure tho.

Put all your ringtones, sounds etc in there. Every time u flash Omnia, it will use those folders (and the one in the device (which will be empty), there should be one in there called classic bell (i sure i leave one in for this situation?  :)

After this, no problems...especially if you have storage card, i have everything i need on mine (EVERYTHING )

Enjoy, some of the connectivity issues been resolved in 21198. Some things better on 21193, not much we can do really.

Enjoy

yes u can,,, by donating shoka.. u will got your own custom rom

If any user wants their own custom ROM, i am more than happy to do this, as long as you understand that time is precious.

PM me if u are seriously interested (not u Omnian )

Donation basis only, as i am going out of my way, and to repeat myself, time is precious.

Thanks tho guys, good to make ROM for individual...

PS: i will obviously try to assist with anything that u may encounter, but there are lots of places to look for information. I dont use every app, and thoroughly use them. The ones i cook (G-Alarm etc) are what i use daily so thats why they are in there. Removals and stuff kept is fine balance as i am cooking for anyone.

If you have specific stuff u use or dont use, its easier for me.

Glad to be of service...Enjoy ur life!

When making ROMs everthing on it takes up space.

We cannot make them bigger  , we can only change what is on there and how much it consumes  .

It like this, the bigger the program the more space it takes. This is both ways, removing and adding.

M2D takes quite a bit of space around 13-15mb on my ROM, my M2D is quite large so to speak. With a smaller skin and some removals it can be made smaller in size. But u only gonna install skins anyway, so why not have a reliable one .

 

On i900DXIA5_IA2_SHKv2 21198 with M2D & M2DC Updated 29/03/09 version, YouTube also appears on internet tab.
I've installed your YouTube.cab, but tapping on the YouTube icon on internet tab still cannot start YouTube.

Is there a way to link this icon to start YouTube?

Chef Shokka,

Any updates on the BETA ROMs. I mean, when will the FINAL ROM (non-BETA) be released?

Are you using the SHKv2 now?

'Coz i been opting to flash to SHKv2 and start re-installing all my apps again.

But am a little apprehensive that the FINAL RELEASE will be out sooner than i think and i might just end up flashing anew....

CHEERS man.

BTW, that screen looks awesome.... is that already Win6.5?

BETA, they will always be BETA until WM6.5 is officially released for all, or when WM7 is also released. These files are test files, if you google the builds, there are video clips of Microsoft boffins testing the builds.

WM7 may be around the corner too? There will probably NEVER be a FINAL release.

It depends what ROM u on at the mo. I am using SHKv2 M2D, works no probs for me. I run CorePlayer and PhoneEx in addition to the cooked stuff. No issues for me.

All i can say is flash away, look at using a backup software to reinsatll al your stuff back after flashing. I dont bother as i dont install that much!

Good luck.
