oh sigh, the omnia 2 community at modaco is failing much now.
or maybe samsung is failing on the support of this phone.

I have been using a taiwan chinese ROM on my omnia 2 for months already.
I've seen quite a few new releases of ROM on modaco and there are also WM6.5.3 ROMs.
last night I decided to flash to a ROM that runs WM6.5.3 - version I8000NXXJD1.

yes, flashing is fine and end up I got an increase in total RAM but what lies behind is something real bad.

as you know I'd love japanese input everywhere - on computers and also my phone. so the first thing I always do is to install the fonts including Meiryo. I thought everything was fine at first. once I installed the japanese input, I realized that I couldn't select the font for the program to use cause it's not in the drop-down list.
never mind, I went on and installed an alternate japanese keyboard - works fine.

when all was well, I installed google maps and found out that the fonts were kinda screwed up. some letters were rotated 90 degree anti-clockwise, lol. I went on to check the dictionaries and the same thing as well. I was like FUCK, STUPID BUG. just by copying the fonts to \windows\fonts makes the default font to what I've copied inside and this weren't happening in the old ROMs/OS.

I have no idea whether is it due to the OS version or something's fucked up in the registry.

I have already flashed my phone like 6 times or more in a row already and still counting, until I find a proper rom.. shit what have I got myself into.

time to change phone + OS.
