Hi guys,

I really want to install android on my niki200.

My problem is, i cant install it.

i created the "andboot" directory and copy nikeimg.nbh file and the android build to the sd card.

after this i tried to enter bootloader by pressing camer button together with the power button, so my phone enter this mode with the the red-green-blue-white screen

in the red area stands: niki 200, SPL-1.16.Hard, CPLD-4

and in the white one: serial (if connected to usb, ther stands usb instead of serial)

for a very short time the is a screen with "loading" but only for less than 1 sec...

what am i doing wrong? what do i have to do, to make it work?!

can anybody help me?

best regards!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
Well, the easiest way- download and unpack flasher from this post, put NIKEIMG.nbh to the flasher folder, enter tricolor bootloader mode, connect to usb and start flasher utility.

If it will not work, check that you put NIKEIMG.nbh to the root of sd card, not to andboot folder., and try to flash from sd again. If no success even now, try to format sd card, or better use another card.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] chenjiebo:
make sure your SD-CARD is FAT32. If not, foramt it to FAT32
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] crazysnooooopy:
My phone formats are CDMA ，its radio （1.59） is locked

it works well
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] snakem:
at first, thanks for your very quick help!

I have just tried to flash the phone with the flasher and it worked!

now the phone starts with android but stops at one point "Install module for this kernel apply modules/andoridupdate.tgz failed

from sourceforge

is there a difference between gsm and cdma? the phone i have is a gsm one from t-mobile?!

best regards

snakem

EDIT:

Sry, my post was to early,

I'm just not quick enough my self and i pressed the volume button to late...

now i have entered the the android installer.... i have installed the software and even the update....

android starts... great!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] oaiode:
can you make some change for the noise/echo of the call ? I can test it for you...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
It will not work like this, i need many tests after all small changes, so without device no chance to do something.

wildvogue sense Android froyo ROM for HTC Vogue Like this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866268. :eek:

I think if it's can install on NIke it's looked beautyfull. but there can't download it. anybody know the others sense Rom like that?? :mad:

(BAD ENGLISH)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
For any kind of sense system you need sys partition on NAND at least 200 Mb, which means al the partition mapping in NIKEIMG.nbh should be changed to use System on entire nand and data on sd card with data.img. We tryed to do this on 4pda.ru without any success, so I don't think anyone will mange this since I stoped development. Anyway, I wanted to make nand installation to not to be depended on sd card, if anyone will make changes I ment we will be again with sd card always mounted, which is not so good.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
I thinks Sense Rom is very heavy and laggy. I'm now using Fat Free Froyo, and it's very stable as well as fast ! I have problem with hrustile's ROM (don't know why, but all 2 rom of him seem to have the same issue after 4-5 day using : it resets to default, i lost all settings and application, not to mention force close many other system apps).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
I have the same issue, where can i get the fat free froyo? It works with NIKI100?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819081

Download RLS5 ODEX, it works perfect with niki100, but it doesnt have music player, so u have to install a music player from market if u want to play music, there're plenty of them in there :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
Thanks it needs the android update?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
Of course. Just run update after install and u done :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
For the people, who looks for the best android build- try the builds from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ , i took the kernel sources from this project, so i think those builds have the best compatibility. And there is a folder there, colled modules, take androidupdate from there for 2.6.25 kernel, i think, i uploaded here 2.6.32 update which is not correct for our kernel.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
Wath is the best build from there?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
polac I guess the latest one, but since my Nike is dead i had no time to try many builds, so you can feel free to test all of them and find the best.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
We have to rename it to androidinstall.tar?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
I dont understand what you say about kernel !?? Do you mean that we should use kernel 2.6.32 or 2.6.32 is the wrong one ? Because after install androidupdate you provide here, the kernel is 2.6.25
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
In case you get package like something.tgz you need to extract it to have file with .tar extension, this file you should rename to androidinstall.tar, if it is not named so. If everything is correct, you will have archive androidinstall.tar, in this archive you will have folder "System" and may be "Data".

P.S. If you have any ~nix system, you can extract this archive, then go to ~/system/app/ folder, put your preferred .apk files there, set to them the permissions like the other files in that folder, then compress to androidinstall.tar again, so you will not need to install all those applications manually, they will be installed with the system.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
good ideal :D i'm using arch linux, will try your method :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
TMinh The kernel is 2.6.25, you cannot change it. I said that i uploaded here the wrong update file, it is for kernel 2.6.32. It works well, but may be if you will install the correct update file, you will see some improvements (or may be not).

P.S. Update can be implemented to androidinstall.tar by the same method, just extract it's content to the same folder.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
Ok thank u :) i'll try and see if there is something new :D

Hey guys,

Does anybody know where i can find T9 Language pack in german for android?

android works good, but sms is hard to write without it...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
snakem If you are talking about onscreen keyboard, i think t9 should work if you switch language to german. For hardware keyboard t9 will never work, it needs special driver. All you can do is to try to enable keypad layout for german, if you have 20k Nike. For that you need to open NIKEIMG.nbh with some hex editor, search in askii for "keypad" and change parameter "keypad.layout=x" where x is: 0 for 20k english, 1 - 16k english, 2 - 20k french, 3 - 20k german. I didn't do it, but it should work. It's not t9, but, i think, it will give you some language specific letters.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
One more thing- many people here have in-call sound problem, which nobody from 4pda.ru have. So I uploaded images from 4pda here, if you have these problem, try them, if it will help, I'll edit the first post.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
The last build as no file manager, can we do this?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
Thats why, actually, i provided here the small guide how to insert programs to a build, you can download file manager from the market or customize androidinstall as you wish before installation. So if someone will make custom system, he can, or even have to share it with others, to feel not only a tester but the partner in our project.

P.S. For the people from 4pda.ru made small fix to keypad layout, Home button returned to double-camera and a little more. Used another compiler, so could be new bugs or may be fixes.

How to set custom ringtones?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
I guess you need to create folder named "ringtones" on your sd card and put your files there, didn't try it, but you can.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] snakem:
Thanks for uur answer, i got one more question:

what the difference between 16k and 20k?

at the moment i have installed the 16k edition... do i have to change?!

and i tried to edit a entry in the phonebook, but the phone gave out an error... (the entries are a copy from SIM card...)

best regards
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
snakem Open your keyboard and count how many buttons do you have :-).

About phonebook i don't know, i just syncronized it with my google account...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] snakem:
oh, ok ;) so there are 16keys...

than i have installed the right one...

Does the edit of the 16k file also work like u described in the post before?

do u have any solution for the echo problem? that disturbs a little bit...

Big Thanks!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
I can i loggin on my google account in the latest build?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] oaiode:
I have tested it.Echo problem has been solved.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
Tested latest image and it works fine. I like the double click camera button feature :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
So do you think I should update the first post with latest image? And one more thing- somebody says he has echo, somebody- sound is terrible, is there anybody with clean sound? And I need to know, what the sound problem depends on, so could you please post the exact description of your problem with the androidinstall build you using, kernel version from which post and radio version, so we can find together where the problem is.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] wawan77:
anybody know how to install applications on SD Card memory?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] snakem:
Do you mean th echo during a call?

on the android-device everything is perfect, but the other caller is hearing his voice twice in his device...

do u mean this?

would be great if this is solved!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] oaiode:
yes，But the feeling is not the perfect solution. There are some minor noise.

Hey guys im trying to do this on an HTC touch dual (Neon 300) and was wondering how to flash the nbh on it. Thanks!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
Neon has very different hardware, so I don't think it's possible. What you can do is download vogueimg.nbh from vogue tree and resign it for Neon. But first try to run vogue version of android from Haret, in default.txt use parameters from Vogue. I'm not sure it will work, but at least it's allmost the same CPU.

Problem..

Hi,

I used files in the first post. It seems to work yesterday.

This morning i turned on the phone but it doesnt work. It seems to be bricked.

It's impossible to turn on or to reset the phone.

I plugged in the usb cable but it doesn't work too.

What can I do?

Thanks
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
aspire1981 Well, looks like your battery complitely discharged. Return to first post and try the procedure, described in red font on top, or, even better, try to find universal external battery charger. And after it will help, try not to discharge your battery complitely.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] aspire1981:
Thank you. I will try now.

vsavichev I solved. thanks.

I used file in the first post. Is the right one?

My phone doesn't recognize my sd. why?

thanks
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
aspire1981 I guess the best image for today is in post 283, still waiting for users opinion to update the first post with it. And for SD card try to format it to fat32 system.

Andreas_H Try to flash another radio version.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Andreas_H:
Have to correct myself. 3G works, but receiption is rather weak - mostly only outside. Will try different radios, thanks!

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
In homescreen, press camera button and select Wallpaper, then choose either Wallpapers or Gallery to select your wallpaper.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:

Any news about camera and bluetooth?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
Well, since i stopped development, no one wants to continue, so looks like camera, bluetooth and headset will never work. Someone wanted to send me new Nike, but desapeared... And i just don't want to waste money for such an old device, so i can't continue development too...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] TMinh:
you said that if we find the gpio of the camera then it will be very easy to map it. can you show me how to find the gpio (where to find and how is the proceduce)?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
TMinh I don't know how to research GPIOs, thats why i didn't find it by myself. So we need to work only with guesses and experiments, or find someone who realy know researching, like Dzo, who wrote the kernel from the begining.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] evildarknight:
they use haret to watch the gpios and dump memory to find how the hardware work!!see the docs on the website man
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
Well, it sounds good in theory, but when you start haret, you can press buttons and touch screen for their gpios, but how to find gpio for camera or bluetooth? You just can't start them from haret... Thats why i don't understand how they found thous gpios for vogue and kaiser...

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] evildarknight:

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:

STORM

Hi, it's me again. I am currently involved in creation of the new ROM. It is called a storm. It's fast, stable and beautiful. I do not know where the finish is likely to release will take place in early July. Wait:)

And how about the camera issue?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] shibboleet:
Hi, guys.

I have issues with the radio. Specifically, gsm calling.

Sometimes the internal speaker doesn't work, i.e. my mic working and people hear me, but I hear only a tiny hiss.

Does anyone has this problem? What radio version do you use? My device is o2 xda star (nike100 20k).

I'm currently using radio 1.71.09.01_25.75.40.02K (suggested by @vsavichev).

Before that, I used 1.65.28.25 (afaik, it's the latest official version) and had the same issue.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
Can i use the rom´s of Kaiser or Vogue?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
What you mean by the rom? You cannot use the kernel (nbh file), but you can use any androidinstall build you find, just in some builds you will need to install update with necessary kernel modules. Actually, although the kernel is optimized for froyo, you can try eclair and donut too, they should work.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] polac:
Which one?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
polac All builds from kaiser and vogue that i tryed worked, so you can use any of them. If you have a lot of personal data on the currently installed build, just format your sd card to have two ext2 partitions at least 256 Mb each and install new build to sd card for test, if you do so, you will keep your current installation as it is.

is it possible to install to on ext2 partition? coz when i tried to istall, the installer has options to install on

'data on sdcard partition

data on ext2 data.img'
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] vsavichev:
Well, yes, it is possible. The problem is that it will not be so useful. The only reason to do that is to free more space for system partition in nand, like people do in Kaiser or Vogue. But in our case we cannot change the size of system partition like they do with aTools, cause i was too lazy to calculate the right command line parameter for system partition which will use full nand memory, and then my Nike died, thats why if you will use this option, you can just get more space for data and half used nand memory, i do not know what could it be done for...
