I have been studying PMP for at least the last 4 weeks, so I need a break and back to my favorite pass time – that is, upgrading my phone ROM :D
Samsung Omnia i900 latest ROM update is DZIA5. I think I notice is that the file size is getting bigger. The last few ROM size is 109MB but this new ROM is 225MB. Wonder what they put inside. One thing for sure, each time I upgrade my ROM, the usable ROM getting smaller :(
Hmmm…… what was added into the new ROM? So the usual stuff. Backup my data and get all my most needed software ready. The phone is charged to 100% and I am ready to go.
Before I upgrade, I snapshot my old information:
Launch the program and follow the steps on your computer. Hmmm… there a a few more steps/files this time. The last time if my memory still served me correctly, it only upgrade about 3 to 4 files. But this time is 6 files and takes about 15 minutes and another 3 to 4 minutes for rebooting and restarting.
And after restarting, I snapshot it before I reinstall all my favorite program:

I put back all my software and data, total time about 30 minutes. So let’s explore what is news in this release.
NOTICE or WARNING: All the previous versions of upgrades didn’t touch the storage, memory which means whatever folders/files you had before the upgrade in the 8GB/16GB would remain after the upgrade. But the new version WIPES OUT all the files in the STORAGE MEMORY. Therefore REMEMBER to make a BACK UP of the files you have in storage memory before you proceed with the upgrade. Don’t said I did not warn you!
The first thing I notice is that there are new gadget for the widget:
- It has a setting icon, which allows you to choose the shortcuts you want to see in the widget bar, so that you can disable the icons you don’t frequently use.
- The widget also includes several new icons like stock ticker, Yahoo, Google search, weather etc.
So far so good. back to the main menu and more one-touch menu options (inside Favorite Settings)
Well that’s all for today. I will try out all the application over the weekend and report it in Part Two of my new ROM upgrade. Have a nice weekend.
