welcome to the site, i suggest you following the links in my signature for noobs so you get up to speed and know the basics of PocketPC's
Now, to have iFonz you have to sync or place the cab file on your device as you stated so you are in the right track, you can have the file anywhere on the device. just click the file and it should install itself. As for the icons, thats untrue, they are qvga resolution so it should display properly on the omnia but you can use photoshop to make new ones or search for icon sets that ifonz users have made for this app

the lock screen is s2u2 so just install the cab and you are set, there are many themes for this app with custom clocks, wallpapers,and sliders so you can look around for one that suits you

glad to have you here and enjoy the site and all it has to offer :glasses1:

throttle launcher has a good look if you want an iphone look, i use spb mobile shell on my omnia (v2.15) with the 3.1 config tool

how are you transferring the file over? have you made sure that it is just a cab file and not a rar or zip file? if it is extract from your computer until all you have left is the cab file and than transfer tyo your device and double click to run. to be able to extract files from your computer you need winrar and that can be found here by doing a search :glasses1:

hope this helps and let me know how it works for you.

ok i found it!i was copying a zip file not the cab:P well i copy the ifonz.exe in the mobile and when i run it from the file explorer it says an error occured and the ifonz.exe must be terminated!what's this about?

[kostikos]

well do you know what version of ifonz is the best for the omnia? i tried the 1.0.4 but the icons do not correspond to what they do...also they are small and they dont look actually just like iphone because u cant scroll left or right of the screen for more icons...

ok since it is an exe you will want to hook up to activesync or mobile device center if you use vista and run that on your pc than follow the steps that appear on the pc and than the ppc screen...... i would recommend reading the guides in my signature since all of this is discussed in there and i feel it will be a big help to you.

well i did what u said in the guide:i connected the phone with sync(i have xp)i double clicked on the application ifonz.exe but it says there is an error and the application must be terminated(also if i want to send a report or not)so i copy it with activesync into the mobile but when i run it with file explorer it gives me the same message:the application must be terminated is a problem with the file or do i have to do something?

something is wrong with your pc.... i would try another and see what that does for you or try to redownload since you may have had a bad download.

ok i'll try and i'll tell u the results :)
