hi

is there a way to mount internam memory "my storage" as sd card on omnia 2 8gb?

i already divided my storage in 2 partitions - first fat32 and second ext4 for droid but cant find information about mounting fat32 partition as sdcard

or You tell me - if I would format fat32 6.6gb partition as ext4 then droid would be able to use it? and after connecting usb cable would it work as mass storage in computer?

Edit: about calibration i just read that various keyboards apps for droid have calibration option and this could help

Guide from erikcas on MoDaCo:
[Omnia II Android Development] 0mnia2:
after following all the steps from the official Beta, I still get the R:500000 R: 4000000, error.... and there the program is stuck.

I came back to this forum after I tried the installation from Richietos,

where the wi-fi did'nt work.

Any solutions yet?
[Omnia II Android Development] Pingerek:
YES. I have had the same problem. You must edit default.txt or startup.txt beside haret.exe.

Look at the booting screen ther you will find mmcblk0p1 or similat - your partition will be listed here and you need to input correct partition name into default or startup.txt
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Most likely it's caused by wrong 2d/3d library files, did you placed the correct file released by dev team member?

Another reason is the wrong or incorrect destination of mounting point, that causes this case. You can try and edit the startup.txt and set the destination to the correct one. However, using default beta installation is quite hard to find out which is the mounting point that you mounted.

Did you try manual installation instead? Follow the guide provided by me and I can guarantee that it should be able to work flawlessly.

Another suggestion would be wait until the next beta release. According to voyteckst, the dev team are having their holidays now and will resume their project after one more week, I guess the beta will be release soon after that.
[Omnia II Android Development] segelfreak2:
Hello there.

I just have one question about the speed of the current Froyo release on i8000. Because speed and smoothness are the main criteria for me i want to ask that before switching from WM to Android.

Is the speed of Froyo compared to WM:

1) much slower

2) slower

3) nearly the same

4) faster

5) much faster

Should I update to froyo or should I better go for an customized WM ROM to gain more speed?

Greetings,

segelfreak
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
At current stage of beta, I would say the speed of Froyo are in considerable range. However, due to limited RAM availability, once the RAM is less than 50MB, the phone will start to run slow and laggy.

In Winmo, there are less possibility that this will happen, but there isn't much thing we can do in Winmo. (We don't even have a proper Dropbox app for WinMo...and there's more)

The only way is to switch to Android whereby there are tons of apps that could make our phone better in terms of usability and maximize our Omnia 2 to full usage. It's not a bad phone, it's just the OS that make it bad.

Again, it depends on you and how you use the phone. If you think that switching over to Android is a good choice for you, then do so. If you think otherwise, then use back the default OS.

I used the 2d/3d from mihai_mihai, so I think thats the correct one, I don't know exactly what to edit in the text files but I could try it. The problem with the manual installation is that my laptop is running on Windows 7, and I don't have Ubuntu installed. So I guess I'll wait for the beta 2 being released
[Omnia II Android Development] Pingerek:
just install virtualbox and run ubuntu livecd

android froyo on our Omnia II i8000

Is almost amazing that all this developers make possible to run android on our Omnia wm phones and thanks all for that , but in my opinion until the problem with battery drain in not solved ( drain so fast .., less than 20 hours , with minimum usage ) , android will be just a funny operating system but not a truly replacement of windows mobile , because of this big issue.

All the best for the developers team and maybe will solve this issue in future development.

Hello

i did manual instalation on my storage ext4 partition. Most of thing work well, in angry birds all textures all white, angry bird rio are ok, speak recognition work quite well and as the other apps. About 50MB free RAM. But one thing is very bad - the speed of wifi... in windows it works great in android - about 20 KB/s.. wifi speed is dramatic. And now i can also confirm that 3g internet is also working very very slow.. any way to fix it?
[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
Next beta :)

It's said by the devs that it's one of the improvments. that and the battery drain :)
[Omnia II Android Development] vin120:
i test this version of android, it's excellent a lot of things is working. But it's not good for the battery.

I wait the new version for battery and wifi speed.

Thank a lot for the dev.

[Omnia II Android Development] marine200:
Hi,

I have not tried Android on my I8000, I was looking for the last version and also, how to do it.

I want to thank all the people who is working in this develpment.

But just one advice, maybe for "l3ong91" because is the person who give us all the information. Would you mind, when the new version is released, to write the instrucctions how to do it?

Sometimes there are some steps or things that begginer do not undertand. The simplier, the better, because less people will ask doubts about how to do it.

I was reading the first page of this post and the information is unclear. Some snapshots of the mobile, after mod files, and after the tutorial.

For example, I do not understand the aim of the 2d/3d libraries.

Anyway, it is just an advice. If i pay attention, I will get to setup correctly it. But, the simpliest, the better.

Thanks!!!!
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Hi,

First of all, yes, I do agree that it will be rather difficult for new users to run the Omnia2Droid for first time, I experienced this too during the first few attempts. However, I do appreciate you opinions and here are some of the things that I would like to clarify.

There are a few reasons why I never include the tutorial for the updates:

1. There are different ways of installing it to the phone, I wanted you guys to try out different methods so that you will understand which one works best for your phone and which one unable to work well with our Omnia 2.

2. Phones are vary from each others. Some specifications and additional storage such as SD card are totally different. Therefore, I couldn't really stick with just one tutorial that you guys must follow that method.

3. This Android beta are meant to be experimenting with it. There are different tweaks that you could do to the phone that makes it runs better, experiment and play with it.

4. There are instructions on the second post. Probably I should make myself clearer, by default, use official installation. Then, there are different installation options such as ISO and manual installation using Ubuntu that you could play with.

5. I had a tutorial for manual installation for beginner under Omnia 2 Android thread, which is highly suggested by me. I did it separately so that it won't confuse you guys, especially targeted for the newbie in this beta.

6. Currently this project has "up-level" from the first day of the project. If you following me throughout this project, currently at this stage, this project are more advanced and I supposed that you guys might need more tweaks and options, instead of sticking with the official installation.

Lastly, I would actually prefer you guys to experiment with it, see the difference by yourself and if you have any further questions, you may post it here such as which one works best and stuff like that.

I am always available to assist you guys in the installation and problems with the Omnia2Droid beta. Feel free to post here.

Here's just a suggestion for you guys:

[Omnia II Android Development] mthd12:
next beta

Yes is true .., and we all Omnia II users hope that this new android beta will be more stable and daily usable ..., because .., if developers couldn't find the right solutions for making next beta more stable , I guess most of us , will sell this Omnia " old " phone and buy another with android ....

One more ..great ++++++ to all the developers who spend their time to find the solutions for next beta ..
[Omnia II Android Development] marine200:
I agree with you.

But, maybe you can give some basic information for new users. Just think that a lot of people do not like to surf on internet , to read all the post or just not enough time to do it.

On my own, I just want to setup Android on my mobile, and I realized that all about mobile, computer, or electronic devices takes so much time..... and if you buy a new device, you have to update, or you look for an app to get something. But with mobile that task is harder.

So, my advice is to write the first post very simple, with the links for common information about the device, how to setup, more advance information about the setup or the device….. at the end, all the information is clear.

Therefore, an expert on this issues who wants to try new methods or learn more will can do it, and for new userss is also useful because we do not want to waste our time, or maybe we do not understand some of the terms.

Besides, imagine that you create three months later a new post about android 2.3, you just need to copy all the links of the previous post in the new one or even, some that you consider useful.

If not, all of us have to read many post to setup something, that it looks simple but the information is confused or disorganized. Just think that a lot of us are not everyday log in this web page.

The responsible of a bad setup is the own user, but you/the person in chargue of the post can recommend the easiest one.

That’s all. Just is my personal opinion, and my aim is to make clear all the information.

And again like the last user: mthd12, thanks to all develpers in this project, because I was thinking on buying a new mobile, but I am going to wait until testing the new android version.

On purpose, the new version of Android that is hoping to be released in the following weeks…. Will it be the 2.3?

[Omnia II Android Development] erikcas:
You did this on Modaco too. So I will paste here Voyteckst answer on Modaco to it, which I completely agree with:

============>8====================

On Modaco:

Sorry, but if You are tired, get do it Yourself or buy another phone instead of complaining. We do not owe anything to You. It's not as fast because some of things should be rewritten and for some of bugs there is hard to find solution.

Remember that we are doing this in our freetime (we are only 3 people) and we all have our families.

===========>8========================

Back to XDA:

There are three people developing this for hobby and the satisfaction out of it. They do it for free. They are not payed for it by any of us. They all have a job to support themselves.

So if you cannot wait, buy yourself another phone and enjoy it.

If you can be patient, then wait and get an update for phone for free that you cannot get from the company that makes your phone. 99% of the people here are so. And also, 99% of the people here are willing to take a change with it and give back proper feedback for devs to continue improve our phones.
[Omnia II Android Development] midimaster:
Indeed there are a lot of users that appreciate the work/time you three spent to give us the Android on the Omnia.. it works great (with exceptions to some things, like Wifi Wep haha). But that doesnt matter, because I can almost use any app/gadget that is available..Ofcourse I'm waiting, as many of us do, for an update. But I realize perfectly good, that the gift you already gave to the community is priceless..

Keep up the good work and don't bother with those impatient users..

[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
If you read the page as you should, you will see my answer !!!...

After the beta releases are all good to work, the dev team will begin to think in coocking an android ROM for the Omnia 2 ... till there, this is almost the same.

The difference is that you allways have to boot windows first ...

And dont' be ruthless .... there is no need for that ...
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
First thing to understand, at current stage of beta, it's impossible to run Android without a in-built ROM, for Omnia 2, it's Windows Mobile. You have to run haret.exe through Windows Mobile. There's is no way Android can start immediately without starting up Windows Mobile, unless it's a NAND ROM (which is not in the developer team top priority list yet).

Besides that, do some research before posting. The term "rooted" in Android is somewhat like the iPhone "jailbreak", which means full privilege to tweak and adjust the built-in system files and settings, get it clear before posting such question.
[Omnia II Android Development] Pingerek:
Appriciate to explain everything to other. Of course i know all that stuff because already running froyo on omnia. One thing that i could mistake is "rooting" - now i know that proper name is NANDing.
[Omnia II Android Development] zao_89:
What you could do to almost bypass the WinMo partition is use Gen.Y and set it to Autoboot Android. It'll start up in WinMo, but at least you won't have to go through it to get to haret.
