The collaboration between Vodafone and Samsung that resulted in the Samsung handsets "signals the first of a wave of R2 LiMo handsets due in the coming months," said Morgan Gillis, executive director of the LiMo Foundation, in a statement.

Samsung M8920 shows up

Samsung cell phone — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:12:02 +0000

We just came upon another leaked photos of what seems to be the successor of the Samsung Pixon12. This time however it’s the Korean version of the monster cameraphone dubbed Samsung SCH-W880. The information about the specs list is still pretty scarce but the camera alone to make us drool. Samsung Cell Phone news

Four months ago the first evidence of the existence of a Pixon12 successor with optical zoom popped up in the net. It was a picture of the Samsung M8920, which sported 3x optical zoom and HD video recording.

We now have some good news for our Korean buddies who will also be getting a piece of the action. It appears that Samsung is planning to launch a Korean version of the 12MP handset that should go by the name SCH-W880. The visual differences to the European model are almost non-existent or at least as far as the back panel is concerned. The camera zoomlens the xenon and LED flashes and the grip are all there. We do notice however that there are no Wi-Fi/GPS marks on W880, suggesting that those features might missing in this version.

We haven’t got confirmation of any of the other specs of the device, but those leaked shots should help make the waiting for the official announcement more easily bearable.

Samsung Pixon12 Shows up

Samsung cell phone — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:08:38 +0000

Samsung’s photographic beast, the Pixon12, is still relatively young in the European market, but the manufacturer hasn’t forgotten their home turf. South Korean service provider SK Telecom will apparently be offering a new version of the Pixon12 called the SCH-W880, which notably includes 3 x optical zoom. Right, like the camera needed more pampering. A similar model, bearing the number M8920, made the rounds earlier this summer, but not without any additional information; hopefully more detailed specifications will surface in the near future. Aside from the optical zoom, I wonder what else about the M8920 will be different from its older brother… Samsung Cell Phone news

Samsung cell phone — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:41:52 +0000

Samsung will be introducing a new dual-sliding handset – M3310. Just like that was the case with their previous such device – F400, the focus is on the music, hence the other part of the sliding mechanism unveils a dedicated speaker. Samsung Cell Phone news

Rest of the specs include a QVGA screen, dedicated music control keys, quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity, 3.2-megapixel camera, media player, and a microSD memory card slot. Size wise, the M3310 measures 101.8×46.9×15.9 mm and has a weight of 94 grams.

Samsung Omnia Hacks – Cooking Custom ROM

Samsung cell phone — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:41:07 +0000

Alot of people have been asking for this and although there are many tutorials on how to cook your own ROM, this is specific to the Samsung Omnia i900 kitchen by the guys at PDAclan and mrtoto tools from PDAMobiz, so thanks for all the great tools. I will not be going through stuff like creating your packages and such as there are many tutorials on that. Only things releated to the Samsung Omnia i900 kitchen will be focused on. Samsung Omnia
As with real cooking, different people have different ways of doing things, so this is the way I prefer to do it. Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
Edit: Before starting, please make sure you have the latest framework installed, you can get it here, if not the tools will not function properly and errors will occur.
- First get either a .exe updater or PDA.bin (rename if you must) file and dump it in the root directory. Drag and drop either the .exe to extractrom_exe or PDA.bin to extractrom_bin

- If you used a .exe updater, the eboot, csc and phone .bin files will be extracted out, you need these files for later, when repacking the .exe installer.

- Once extracting is done, there will be OEM/SYS folders and a new XIP folder in ROM.

- You should see these folders in OEM (left) and SYS (right)

- These are the apps found in OEM/OEMApps. Open the .rgu which contains registry settings in Notepad. As an example, if you delete the file secst.dll in the OEMApps folder, then you must delete the entry in the .rgu too.

- Another example… After you delete an app and rgu entries, go to initflashfiles.dat in OEM/OEM_Lang_0409 and search for more references to the files.

- After removing files, you will need to add your own custom apps in the form of packages, if you do a search on them, there will many tutorials on that. I am not going into it as it is pretty standard stuff.

- Once you’re happy with removing and adding your customisations, it is time to build your ROM. Go back to the root directory and drag OS.nb to BuildROM. Click the green play button and you’re on your way.

- Once that’s done, you will have a NewROM.bin file which you must rename to PDA.bin. Remember the csc, eboot and phone files earlier, it must all be in the same directory. (I prefer to create a new directory for this)

- Open your command prompt and start packing your new ROM. Once all files are packed, you will have your new updater which you run to update your device. As usual, make sure you have proper modem drivers installed.
