Do you wish there was an easy way to unlock your Samsung i910 Omnia smartphone’s GPS hardware to work outside Verizon’s premium VZ Navigator service? Well, you are in luck! A new “unofficial” Windows Mobile ROM for the Verizon Samsung Omnia promises to unlock your Omnia’s GPS receiver from carrier-lockdown.
This new Samsung Omnia ROM has surfaced at MoDaCo forums, and wields the power to free your Omnia to use the integrated GPS hardware with third-party mapping applications like Live Search and Google Maps. This ROM beats Verizon to its own punch. Visit MoDaCo for the ROM download and flashing instructions. Back up all your data before hand, because it’s not going to be there after your ROM flash. Remember, this ROM is to be used only with the Samsung i910 Omnia – the one with the Verizon logo.
Go ahead and enjoy yourself to the hilt!
