Get most of your Symbian device [Part 3] : Customize the Samsung Omnia HD i8910's 3D navigation application !

Posted on 14:58 by SlipKoRnSaad

One of Samsung's many UI additions to S60 V5 is their so-called 3D navigation. This allows the user to simply swipe left or right to change from the TouchWiz homescreen to the Photo contacts application or the menu respectively. Sadly, this great feature doesn't allow the user to pick which applications the 3D Navigation changes between :



What you'll need:

- A hacked Samsung i8910 (refer to THIS post.)
- THIS text file.
- ActiveFile
- AppUidList widget (install on phone.)

Step 1:

Open the text file you've downloaded using a text editor such as Notepad. Replace the current application UIDs with the ones you want.



You can use AppUidList to identify the UIDs of all applications on your i8910.



Once you've edited the UIDs with the applications of your choice, save the file (DO NOT select 'save as', just 'save') and transfer it to your i8910.

Step 2:

Grab your i8910 and open ActiveFile. Navigate to where you've saved the 20020607.txt file and copy it. Now navigate to C:\Private\10202be9 and paste the file in here. While still in the 10202be9 folder, open the 'persists' folder and delete 20020607.cre



Hey ! Restart your phone and enjoy :)



Ps : As you may know, the 3D navigation will keep the selected applications open in the background constantly, so, I'd suggest not to choose applications that remain connected to the internet.
