[Samsung Omnia 2] -with- 21916/21682 | Sense 2.5 2018 / Titanium / Cookie 2.0

Its been quite some time since the last time I flashed my Omnia 2. Thought of flashing it today because there are just quite a number of small problem with the ROM (by Modaco Kuanchai) last time.

So, thought of sharing it here.

UI Screenshot

 

This rom is by Modaco member NRGZ28.

There are several designs, with my personal preference on the UI design:

• Energy            - preferred
• Dinik               - too glassy
• .sencity            - preferred
• Touch of Glass - too glassy
• GTX                - bright display, drain battery faster?

The are 2 builds for the ROMs:

• 21916 - The most stable build, with start menu on top left.
• 21682  - The latest build in Windows Mobile development. The start menu is at bottom left, with big finger-friendly softkeys. Most people would choose this.

Follow the thread here or downloads here.

To flash your ROM.

Omnia 2 i8000 FPU enabler

After running the FPU enabler by NuShrike and Chainfire, we can observe significant improve in Floating Point instructions execution and RAM access.

Hope Microsoft and Samsung will focus the development for FPU support in Kernel level in the future.

Note: This is just a proof-of-concept by the developers, ie. NuShrike and Chainfire.
