Omnia II – Looking Good!

Samsung Omnia II i8000 has made its way to release and i must say, it is looking really good! I liked the original Omnia Smartphone regardless of its limited RAM and other drawbacks, but what really held me back was the stylus with that – honestly! Not sure what the stylus with the Omnia II is like (is it as bulky and ridiculous to carry as the first one?) but looking at the mobile makes me kind of drool. :)

Don’t get me wrong, i am confident in my decision to go for an Xperia, and if i do switch anytime soon, it would most likely be Xperia 2 – if and only if i can come up with the cash to cover whatever hefty price tag it’ll come out with, but Omnia II would probably be my choice (as of now) for a set if i wanted one without a keyboard. Check out the reviews at Pocket Now. (Hardware Tour & Widget Tour)

With that said… with Xperia i believe we had the best of most and with Xperia 2 we’ll probably have the best of everything (with added Accelerometer, increased Processor and RAM, etc.) But one thing is for sure, just like i love to use TF3D2 on my Xperia from time-to-time, i would definitely love to see the new/updated Omnia Widget interface ported onto Xperia as well… Wish i had the knowledge and capabilities of some of the XDA Devs… ;)

Touch-IT v4.5 ROM – The Best Custom ROM

Ever since I got my Xperia, I have been following the XDA Forums closely. itje at XDA Forums has continuously grabbed my attention, most recently with the Touch Flo 3D Landscape (from Touch Pro 2) custom ROM. Though it started off as a Beta with tons of issues, he updated the ROM to a new Beta version from time to time with various fixes and additions. He recently released the final version of his Custom ROM (with of course Touch Flo 3D taken from the prototype models of Pro 2), and since then i have had the best Xperiance with my Xperia. The Custom ROM is by far the best ROM i have used so far on my Xperia. Really great performance and fast speed. Touch Flo 3D itself is running way better than i have ever tested it before. Thank you itje for a great Xperiance! If you want to give this custom ROM a try, head on here . Note : Installing a Custom ROM requires HardSPL. HardSPL your Xperia at your own risk.

CNetX - Face Contact

CNetX’s Face Contacts is a really cool-looking contact management utility which integrates directly into the device’s Today screen. Featuring an intuitive 3D interface with kinetic scrolling (iPhone-like), Face Contact allows you to add, remove, or edit contacts without having to switch between different apps and lets you sort by different fields as well as define a custom order in which the contacts appear. You can adjust, replace or remove contact’s pictures, with photo cropping and rotation. Furthermore, you have full control on display settings and 3D rendering options including photo shape, transparency, and reflection effects. Works perfectly on Xperia! And best of all, regardless of the number of favorite/quick-access numbers you want, the application uses as little screen height as possible! To try it out, go here . Some screenshots:

Xperia – Software Update

Update : Generic UK ROM has been updated . What? ‘Software Update’? Did you read it right? The answer is YES! After much debate against Sony Ericsson for not releasing any patches or updates since the release of Xperia, we finally have an update coming our way. PavelX1 at XDA Forums is uploading all the new ROMs onto Rapidshare for us to download. What changes, enhancements, and fixes does this R2 version of the software update include? That is a thing of mystery at the moment. But let’s hope that it is everything everyone hoped for and more! To download or for more info, go here . FYI – In case someone is wondering where PavelX1 is getting these updated files from; he reports that he is using EMMA which is an official SE service software for service centers. Note : The update is also reported to be available via Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). Update List (Updated Feb 1) : Here are some things that i have noticed so far with this update.
