The long awaiting HTC Touch Diamond is already launched in Malaysia few weeks ago. To those who can’t afford to purchase this new PDA phone, or maybe you want to test out how the interface really looks like, you can try installing this theme to your PDA phone. Frankly speaking, this theme can actually amaze the people around you! Samsung Cell Phone theme download
Let me present to you, the copycat version of HTC Touch Diamond TouchFlo 3D theme~ This is how it looks like on your Samsung Omnia.

Of course, this theme is not as perfect as the original TouchFlo 3D on the Touch Diamond. There’s only 5 tabs available for the bottom bar and the 3D animations is not exactly the same as the original ones. Still, it looks really cool on your phone. Mind you that the time on the first screen won’t flip as the original ones
How to install this theme? Samsung Omnia
   1. Download and install SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 into your PDA.
   2. Download and install the HTC Touch Diamond theme.
   3. Soft reset your phone and enjoy!

In the Samsung Omnia phone keypad type: *#0002*28346#
You will then have a screen pop up called audio control util.
How to change the loudspeaker volume for ringtones, movies, mp3s etc
Click menu, normal then handset (the first one, Phones headset/loudspeaker) Here you can change: Samsung Omnia
Speaker volume: SPK(02) -db is less volume, I have set this to -1.5db (level)
Digital-to-analog: DAC(0C) This effects the overall volume of Mp3s, movies etc -both headset and loud speaker. I have set this to 0db.
Radio Volume: RVOL Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
How to change the headset / earphones volume.
Click menu, normal then headset (the second one, Headphones) Here you can change:
Headphones volume: HP(02) -db is less volume +db is more volume, I have set this to 0db (level)
Digital-to-analog: DAC(0C) This effects the overall volume of Mp3s, movies etc. I have set this to 0db.
Radio Volume: RVOL
*You must click menu / apply for changes to take effect,
*I recommend play a Mp3 launch the app, then apply the changes and set your prefered max volume.
*Setting high levels could damage the loud speaker or your headphones, not to mention your hearing!.
So there you have it, you can have headphones louder than an iphone or ipod if you wish. I don’t recommend touching other settings unless you know what your doing or have copied the defaults so you can revert back incase you srew something up!

1. SPB Mobile Shell (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com ) Samsung Cell Phone software
    This gives me a quicker menu and touch-friendly interface for accessing absolutely all the functions, programs and settings in the phone in a nice looking way. And best of all, it’s very customizable. Samsung Cell Phone theme download
2. Samsung Omnia Skin Package ( http://www.changeskin.net/ )
     Skins for SPB Mobile Shell (also with Samsung Omnia skin ). These skins give comm manager by pressing top of
     the screen, and adds functionality to the phone’s menu. I think it’s actually 3 weeks since last time i
     saw the nasty WM style (or should i say windows 95 style) menus that u usually see when u open the
     start menu and go to programs or settings…
3. S2U2 ( www.ac-s2.com )
     This is a great app that lets u lock the phone iphone style. (I don’t like it because it looks like the
     iphone, but because it’s great to use, quick to unlock, and it looks great. It also shows weather and
     upcoming apointments when locked  )
4. S2P ( www.ac-s2.com )
     Music player that integrates with S2U2 and also has great (AND QUICK) kinetic scrolling, but is much  Samsung Omnia
     simpler than the touch player. No playlists, but it’s under developement.
5. Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp )
     File Browser that supports finger scrolling and is touch optimized. It also let’s u map network drives etc.
     This one is a MUST. Free trial available.
6. TouchCommander’s Touch Task Manager ( http://www.touch-commander.com/task-manager/ )
     This program makes the x-button exit apps instead of minimizing. Also, i have baound this to the menu
     button to pull up the nice task manager that shows running programs, and amount of free ram…
Alternative:   waku WkTASK
     Little app that makes the x button actually EXIT apps ( i really dont understand why this wouldent be
     default setting in windows!!?). This also lets you press and hold the X for minimize and other options.
     And shows running apps along the start-bare like in win xp/vista
7. Ageye G-Alarm ( http://www.ageye.de/ )
     Great alarm app. I can never trust the WinMo alarm to wake me up, but this thing works. It’s also touch
     optimized, lets you create many alarms, that repeat on chosen weekdays, and you can set up a playlist
     of sounds to wake you up or make them random. Also features a labyrinth you have to complete with
     the tilt sensor in order to turn of the alarm. really cool alarm
8. ThumbCal ( http://www.thumbapps.com/pages/home/thumbcal.php?lang=DE )
     Replacement for the calender so you can even use this feature without digging out the stylus 
     Keeps all the functionality, but looks hell-of-a-lot better than WinMo’s default (as usual when it comes
     to microsoft).
9. Vito SMS Chat ( http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/threaded-sms-messaging.html )
     Gives you a conversation based, stylish sms app, with nice "new-message" notifications and nice
     design. Same reason as above mainly..
10. Vito FunContact ( http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/funcontact.html )
     Phonebook matching the sms chat.
11. SPB GPRS Monitor ( http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/ )
     Well, this isen’t a must-have, and iv’e just installed it, but it’s nice to see how much you spend using IM, weather forecasts and all the other things i started using on this phone.
