Just too difficult for me, sorry.

Hi l3ong91.

Over the past few weeks I have tried to install Froyo, and have got it working, but with problems, a few times (using ISO in the end, couldn't get the official one to work). Unfortunately market place wouldn't work other than very occasionally and battery life was short (if I had Froyo working properly I could have played around with the wifi which I think might have been the probelm. Tried fixes and failed in the end.

Now I am totally confused with which files and setups to use from all the ones available, and I have spent a number of hours on it. I have never used Ubunti and haven't any idea how to start without spending even more hours on it, which seems to be what you are suggesting in a recent post. I suspect a hard reset of the phone is needed before starting, then there is the hastle of reinstalling everything if Froyo doesn't work (again).

Have come to the conclusion that I don't hate WM6.5 enough to spend the time trying to get Froyo to work; it is just too difficult for me (I know, small brain), even though I would love to jump ship from WM6.5 (main problem being WMDC will not work with it - how on earth microsoft could make handhelds that are a pain to synchronise with windows beats me. If they can't then why use windows?). As you can see I am not very good at the not even very complicated parts of computing.

The News you are spreading for Omnia users sounds great, but it sure wastes a number of hours, and I have decided to give up. What I need is a simple process that works without workarounds here there and everywhere. I guess the process is just inherently complicated. Fun but frustrating; so near and yet so far.

For doing this you get my admiration, and anyone who has got it working especially if anyone has really moved over to Froyo, which is what I would love to do (can't buy a new phone for a year, probabaly wouldn't want to if I had managed it).
[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
Sorry for the observation, but, I don't use Ubuntu neither, and I've spent an half hour to instal Froyo on My Storage.

I'm using it for about over a month, and everything works fine. Wifi allways connects, 3G works smoothly, Market always connect!

I'm almost totally satisfied =) just missing bluetooth for my headset :)

Hi, first of all I sorry if this thread does confused you. The reason why I posted so many options and mod files under this thread is because I assume that those who already followed my post since the initial development of this project already know the basic way of how it works and therefore this thread offer more advanced option for them to customize the phone, instead of sticking with the official release.

As for a new users like you, I would suggest install using the official method by me. After you get the idea of how it works, then it would be easier for you to customize the installlation yourself.

[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
It's always best to keep the device memory more than 50 mb. But since the ram memory on your device is so slow, have you tried JuiceDefender and Task Killer? And always close the apps and programs that is running in background.
[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
Yes, Juice Defender, let's my phone have SOD. Advanced taks Manager - 31 Mb available, after kill apps, only SetCPU is working smoothly in my Froyo :)

Just too difficult revisited

Hi.

After you were kind enough to reply, I thought |I'd have another go (moth drawn to a flame). Redownloaded all files...

Cleared SD card, put all files into My Storage. Loaded Haret in O2 folder, it did its thing and rebooted windows. So I clicked Haret in root. It started to do its thing, then got stuck (which is what happened when I tried official method first time and why I moved to ISO, which did work, with errors). The error message is a load of number, request_suspend_state: wakeup (0->0) at another load of numbers. It keeps doing this forever and never stops...................................

Another 45 minutes...

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to put another file in the root??
[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
Yes ... it's missing the 2D/3D libraries ...

Onthe Second post of the thread ... :)
[Omnia II Android Development] Richard Harlinh:
Too difficult revisited again,again

I have just done a web search putting int he error message and someone it says the error I get can be fixed with a new file 2b3update.tar.gz, which I have now downloaded and copied to My storage. Now clicking Haret in the root has resulted in the error no longer appearing and now the ANDROID logo has appeared......breath being held... it says be patient.....10 minutes....now has loaded. Error "Process system is not responding"........ignored it, it is saying to touch the android. But it isn't responding...SOD....taking battery out....will try and reboot.....seems familiar....
[Omnia II Android Development] Richard Harlinh:
Too difficult revisited again,again, again....

Hi PuCiNhOOO

I knew I had to put the file in and had done, its just that file didn't work - done a websearch and found one that does... to a point (see previous mail). Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Here I am another two hours later with ANDROID appearing, the icon telling me to touch it, but it then stalls and then switches off...will try the mod file "02b3....." and see what happens(4Mb)...................nope. Android still reporting "Process system is not responding".
[Omnia II Android Development] Richard Harlinh:
Progress - I didn't realise the o2b3 update file had to be extracted. Have done so and put in MyStorage root. Got past the problem screen, started to follow registration procedure. Wifi indicates it is off. Omnia has turned off again...removing battery, will try again.....and enable wifi in WM just incase (don't see why that should help).... found that wifi had disabled in Windows Mobile. A couple of resets later, wifi reappeared. Rebooted and got further to google login, but then wifi went off again and Omnia turned itself off again....taking battery out again.....nope has started again now wanting to open wifi...put key in and connected....might be up and running...wifi off again "Activity Setup Wizard (in application Google Services Framework) is not responding....retrying....
[Omnia II Android Development] Richard Harlinh:
Still too difficult

Had to try and reboot Android. Now it will not at all - stops prematurely. Put 2D/3D files back in root just incase that was the porblem...

Now stuck, apart from starting again...... (now over 4 hours spent on it... been in this loop a number of times over the last month)

[Omnia II Android Development] ontwoopie:
Few problems ...

I have loaded the Android 2.2 version via all the great instructions out there and have Android working well on my Omnia 2. However, when the phone is turned off and on again, it goes back to the windows system. Also, while in Android the battery is sucked dry in a matter of hours (lasts at best 7 hours) and the phone really warms up to the touch. Any suggestions? Is there a way to eliminate all the original operating system and just have the Android system on the phone?
[Omnia II Android Development] xdapapaya:
Bro I3, i used ISO method. running well. but the market still have problem. using method 1,2,4 still the same.. any idea?

I don know how to use manual method.... =(
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
As what I've said before, this is not a NAND rom, only NAND rom able to get the device to boot into Android immediately after restart. Current beta release is ran through haret.exe, therefore you will have to bootup an OS to run haret.exe, in Omnia 2, Windows Mobile OS.

Battery consumptions are still hard to preserve and it really depends on your usage. Here are some of the suggestions for you.

Always close down apps and programs that are running i background using task killing app like Advance Task Manager, besides that, always turn off data connection like 3G and WiFi when not in use. And reduce the brightness, use setCPU to set the frequency of CPU when device turn into sleep and charging.

Hope that it helps.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
There seems to be market problem still exists using ISO method, try manual installation for beginner guide here.
[Omnia II Android Development] famanfwppc:
Please I need a check. My Froyo installation gets about 40-41 Mb free RAM, with near to nothing running. This is a quite low amount. Is this normal or wrong? Can I do something to get more free ram? Task killers can't do nothing about it. Also is someone able to run Skype app? It FC after login, then restarts and retries login then FC again.
[Omnia II Android Development] famanfwppc:
Sorry for this second post. I got a problem not (no more) concerning Android installation.

So removed the question.
[Omnia II Android Development] mohammed79:
setcpu is not free. is there any version of it that is free?
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
You can find the paid/cracked version on Google. However there is a free trial version I think.

hi guys.... I have done the method exactly the same as mentioned in "FROYO BETA 1 OFFICIAL INSTALLATION GUIDE By l3ong91, XDA". But still, after I reboot my phone, it switch to winMo again..... I've tried using dualBoot software, but it mention that my Android is missing. Can somebody please give me some guide. Thanks...
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
How many times do I need to clarify this, it will still boot back to WinMo after reboot, and you will have to run haret.exe again to bootup Android!

Did you install to device memory? Did you put the haret.exe, default.txt and zImage to the root of SD card?

usb connection

Thanks to developer for this new style and for make possible run android on samsung omnia i8000.

But I have a problem.., and the problem is ,, when I connect the phone to pc ( XP software install ) , the windows XP doesn't recognize the samsung omnia i8000 device with Froyo 2.2 install .

Could anyone give me a solution for this issue ... ,,... I thing this is a problem with the usb drivers , but I don't know what driver to install on my windows XP pc.

Thanks .........
[Omnia II Android Development] rinring:
Thanks.

I have tried before the distribution on SD card, and the one on My Storage (ISO) seems much more stable, and with more useful utilities.

Big big congratulations to the team! :-)

I really like more Android than Windows Mobile.

Beware that connection to Internet isn't enabled by default.

I don't know how to transfer files between my Omnia in Android mode and my PC.

Do I need some specific software on my PC?
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
What do you mean by the statement below.

You can change to enable data connection in Settings.

To transfer files to Android, there are multiple ways of doing this,

1. Reboot phone back to Winmo and do all the transfer.

2. Unmount SD card and do all the trasfer.

3. Use Dropbox, just in case you don't know, it's a file syncing platform for PC and mobile, require data connection though.

4. Use ADB method, refer to omnia2droid website for instructions.

need new sd card, how big?

This is sounding like a really cool project, now i need to go buy an SD card. I was wondering how big it should be, is 4 gigs enough or should I be looking at a 16 gig card. Again this is going to be a real life saver, WM 6.5 was killing me, so kudos in a big way to everyone involved!

Peace!:)
[Omnia II Android Development] fran_nic:
My advice is to install android on your storage.

This is really going to speed things up, and you will get a far more stable system.

I tried through sd-card a few times and for eclair this worked fine, but froyo is a pain in the ...

I'm never going back to installing froyo on sd, storage is a lot faster with fewer problems.
[Omnia II Android Development] Diggit81:
Ok, I'll give that a shot then, also is there any info on the phone that should be backed up before I do this? My contacts are the only thing I care about on the phone and they are on the sim card so they should be safe but is there anything else of importance?
[Omnia II Android Development] fran_nic:
Ritchietos has a very good tutorial on how to do this.

hey! how could i put music files on android os??where can i put them??
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
It depends on where you install the Android. If you're running on default installation, then you cna place you music files on SD card. If you're running on manual installation, it depends on where you install the file system to and placed it on the same directory.
[Omnia II Android Development] lalinde89:
i follow your guide (FROYO BETA 1 OFFICIAL INSTALLATION GUIDE By l3ong91) but i dont know where to put them...!i tried once but it didnt worked...!so with this installation where i put the files??
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
SD card. Music player cannot access folder and files in My Storage in Android Mode, unless you modified the init.rc to change the directory to My Storage.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
For beginner, just follow the FROYO BETA 1 OFFICIAL INSTALLATION GUIDE By l3ong91.

1. After transfer all the files from the guide, first boot, run haret.exe from the o2beta folder.

2. Phone restarts, check whether o2b3update.tar.gz is on root of My Storage, run haret.exe on root of My Storage (not inside o2beta folder).
[Omnia II Android Development] FierceAllegiance:
Hi l3ong91, maybe you or someone else who has this problem can help me out here :rolleyes:

I've used the "ISO MY STORAGE INSTALLATION (No Ubuntu) By Quato7906, MoDaCo" installation method but I can't get my market to work properly..

I am using the fixed market .ISO version

The market runs fine but I can't download anything either (WiFi/3G):

(WiFi) "Your item will be downloaded" > "starting download" > "download unsucessful"

(3G) "Your item will be downloaded" > nothing else happens..

Also, I am getting this error on my notification bar all the time:

"Google Talk failed to login, if this is a google apps account, confirm that chat service is enabled for this account."

(I am using my regular Gmail account, not an Google Apps account, whatever that is.. :p)

I've already tryied these but unfortunatelly nothing fixed the problem:

- Market Problem Fix Method (1,3 and 4).

- Google Sign-In Authentication Fix Method (3G and YouTube Apps).

- Games/Apps Installation Fix Method (Unmount > Mount SD)

I hope someone can help me out

Thanks in advance ;)
[Omnia II Android Development] lalinde89:
does i need to do some folder in the sd card or just put the files there??Cause i tried once putting some music files there and after a reboot on android, it wast working...so i had to install again the os

thx!!
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
I would suggest you try Froyo Bundle by Ritchietos, or follow the Manual Installation Guide for Beginner. Try the first option first though, normal installation package available(No Ubuntu required).
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Theoretically it should be able to be detected once you put the files in SD card, without folder is fine. Since you said that you are going to reinstall, use Froyo Bundle Windows Installation by Ritchietos.

Official install not working

I tried the official install and after I see the Android symbol and it asks me to click it I get an error message that the system process is stuck. No matter what I do after that the screen goes black and I have to remove the battery. (Kinda makes me want a small lever to remove and replace the battery)

P.S.

I was able to install and work with Eclair beta just fine.

Will try the ISO methods next.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Current beta might work differently on each phone, yes, please do try other alternatives or method.

Here are some of the suggestion for you if the official beta not working.

1. Try iso method, if cannot,

2. Try froyo bundle by Ritchietos, using windows installation, if cannot

3. Try manual installation using Froyo Bundle files

No flash needed, just shutdown Android will get you back to WinMo everytime. THIS WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR WINMO.

[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Choose mass storage mode in Winmo, plugin your phone to usb and then run partition software.

After that right click the fat32 partition and create new partition around 1-2gb for Android partition, remember to set as Primary partition if you're running on default beta installation.

Did you follow all the steps? Try unmount the drive in top toolbar.

/media is correct in this case, this command is the same for all users.

Thank you, what's next?

Ok, so I did that. Now I have one FAT32 which is primary and one unallocated (still have the "Othe" one). What's next?

Sorry for bothering you, as you can see I'm a beginner in this but loooove android so much (my stupid brother gave me this WMO phone as a gift :) )
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
I need to know which installation method you using first.

What is the size of the partition of that "unallocated" one? If it doesn't take up lot spaces. ..just leave it aside.

Next, you just have to create another partition for android partition.

[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
I think it's possible, but you need to have knowledge on how the system files are structured and do some modification to the system files as the ADW launcher is pre-loaded in the Android installation package. I bet it required a new installation though.

As the Android is still in beta stage, I highly recommend you not to modify the system and processes as it may cause unstable and unbootable system, unless you know what you're doing.
[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
I think that (from what i've read in other forums) that the native android launcher is giving problems on the SOD's of the froyo version.

And the ADW launcher solves that problems

Did the SD card able to detect by the system? If not, try reformat it using SD Formatter(Google for it and download it yourself) follow settings below:

Format Type: Full (Erase)

Format Size Adjustment: ON

No need to reinstall the whole thing again, just take out your SD card and format it using SD Formatter. DO BACKUP YOUR SD CARD CONTENTS FIRST.

I noticed that when I change the language to other than English (Slovenian actually), the alarm clock shows numbers instead of days (in "Repeat" menu). I searched and found this site (code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=12) where it seems they solved the issue.

I'm now asking if there is maybe some easier way to resolve it, because I'm not really experienced in doing this and I don't want to mess everything.

Thanks.

Edit: Another thing...when changing language, the keyboard should switch to QWERTZ, but it doesn't.
