Dislike the Samsung dialer? Here's a way to restore the default Windows Mobile dialer,
Changing to this default dialer reduces around 6mb of memory usage!
Finally managed to get the HTC Task Manager 2.1 to work on omnia :D
Previously was able to get version 1.5 working, but it is not as finger friendly as 2.1
Here's the link for the download, install the cab file first. After that, copy the files in 'into Windows' to your /Windows/ directory, overwrite all the files in ur omnia! Lastly, import both registry file and restart the phone :)

You will need Total Commander for this tip to work.
1. Launch Total Commander
2. Browse to "Windows" folder
3. Find the file "thread_sms.htm"
4. Press the icon at the bottom row, next to the Show button.
You will see a whole chunk of code
<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="98%" height=35 spell ......
Locate the line shown above and modify the value of height to something you like.
I have change the default value of 35 to 65, this gives me a nice 3 line spacing for the input :)
Use your favourite registry editor, go to [HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Touch]
Modify the value for Calibration Data to 519,503 177,881 182,129 847,127 849,872
Modify Click from 1280 to 2000 (decimal)
Modify DownUp from 256 to 750 (decimal)
Save the changes and soft reset the phone for the new setting to take effect!
P.S. The original data are derived from screen calibration when you touch the 5 points. So basically you dun really need to backup the original data this time, as you could always recalibrate the screen if you dun like the new setting.
For those that do not use shozu, this application is always running in the background, consuming about 400kb of memory. To prevent it from auto starting, use a registry editor and go to the following value [HKLM\init\]
Look for Launcher140, which should have the string "\Windows\shozurcp.exe" as data. Delete the entire row for Launch140.
To restore, you could always create a new value with Name "Launch140", value "\Windows\shozuRcp.exe" and type as REG_SZ
Caution! DO NOT delete the rest of the keys as this will cause the Omnia to freeze when start up!

This is what happens when system gets too smart... Canon started installing microchips on all the cartridges quite sometime back. I do encounter a few problems with these new batches of cartridges, especially in the case where the printer says,
A new firmware has been posted on the web, latest version standing at i900DZHK3. http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/index.jsp
After upgrading mine to HK3, not much changes have been spotted. The status of the memory are as follows;
Storage
Total: 86.70 MB
In Use: 41.38 MB
Free: 45.32 MB
Program
Total: 96.70 MB
In Use: 41.12 MB
Free: 55.58 MB
Pretty much the same here.
A new application has been added, the G-Sensor Dice is now added to the firmware. The rest stays largely the same.
One bug that is fixed now is the clock on the title bar. On older firmware, clicking on the clock does not show the bubble for next appointment. It is working now, but holding on the clock doesnt allow you to toggle between digital and analog clock still.
That's all folks!
