1.) Does the android OS really works on this phone?
2.) Does it have no any conflict on the features and hardware such as the processor?
3.) Does android make a bit faster on this phone?

rinando, 13 Apr 2011I have the phone about 1,5 years. Still working without pro... moreAbout Adroid on omnia, yeah, it would be great to have a full version. There are some guys on modaco who are trying to break the bootloader code.This means we'll have only android on omnia.No dual boot.But it will take some time.
Although now i spend alot of time for Galaxy S,omnia 2 remains one of the best smartphones i ever used.I still try some tweaks and stuff, just for fun.It appears samsung dropped a litle to early the support for omnia 2, but i can understand why...first of all, they launched BaDa OS, many android models and it takes alot of time to give proper support for all devices. Unfortunately,this is for all producers.Android is still too fragmented.This the main advantage for Apple.

I have the phone about 1,5 years. Still working without problems however when I compare it with smartphones now... It is so slow.... But wait.. There are developers creating Android 2.1 on this phone! and even Android 2.2! Currently Beta 2 is out. I must say Android running on the Omnia II makes it 10 times faster!! They still have to fix some bugs, but they are working on it now. Check these links±

vicky, 07 Apr 2011Dear All,I am using mobile Samsung I8000 Omnia II 16GB.toda... moreHmm...what do you mean by external? External is a micro sd card.If you mean My Storage, that's also internal and the 16 gb versions of omnia 2 is known for the "dissapearing" memory. Your problem might be software related.
Try to set the phone on usb storage mode, connect it to pc and see what it's detecting.
anyway, this is a solution

try it. it worked for many.

@fadz. The procedure is the same. Download the rom and octans downloader.Again, for mr "anonymous", kies won't see the latest update for any phone if it's not released in your country. So again, stupid comment.That's why i never used it.
With octans flash the new rom.
Depending on your pc operating system, you may require to install additional drivers.Remember to look on modaco about the flashing. good luck

These are ALL official firmwares released by Samsung for I8000. This not includes regional roms, provided by some local operators(like orange, SFR and others).These are STOCK ROMS.
As you can see, most of them are for EU.
I didn't inlcude singapore roms, as i don't understand the language and google translate makes a mess out of it. For more info, search yourselves.
I didn't read anywhere samsung officially dropped the support for omnia 2, but it's clear. Last official rom they released was in october. Comparing with other devices(like omnia1), i think they abandoned omnia 2. For i900, they stoped support after 18 months. Omnia 2 was launched in july 2009, they stopped creating roms in october 2010(15months). So, if anyone of you has doubts, go to samsung centers, pay alot of money for a thing you can do home, for free.

Anonymous, 17 Mar 2011Moderator of GSMArena, why are you letting this joker promo... moreYea right..mr "anonymous". At least i say my name here.
FIY, modaco community is the best in the world for windows mobile devices,next to xda. Even samsung recommends it.And who are you to question me?If you don't like the things i do here, be my guest and try to do them for me. I would be happy.
Another thing, Secany, a guy who works for samsung, released on modaco official and custom roms. So, before open your mouth and say stupid things, ask around.
I always give correct links, i alwasy try to be as objective as a person can be. I also give an alternative for the people that are not that much into tech like me, and help them personally. If you have a problem with that, i suggest you shut down your pc and leave it that way. You really have a way on NOT to make friends, even virtual ones.
I already made a tutorial on how to flash new roms on omnia2(official or custom), but, again, if it looks simple for me, alot of you guys didn't understood. With a simple operation you can easily brick your phone and you will blame me for it. That's why i rather do it myself over remote control(teamviewer to be more exact).
If only you would read back a couple of pages...but again...you are just lazy and close-minded.
you know nothing about me, but still you're bashing me.
Way to go!!
