I did the first method of installation.

Also, i don't know how to use Ubuntu. Use VMware to run it side by side with Win7?

What I can do, though, is download the updated o2b3update.tar.gz by mihai_mihai. Do I have to reinstall Froyo now? Format SD card and do the haret.exe thing all over again? Or do I simply copy and replace the o2b3update.tar.gz?
[Omnia II Android Development] co2301:
Hmm, so does this beta also works for the b7610? Cuz i see you guys only talking about omnia 2 ..
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
1. A manual installation guide is provided, if you don't understand, try and follow all the steps on video installation through Ubuntu on jerrytech2468.blogspot.com.

2. There's no need to have expert knowledge on Ubuntu, just follow what instructed on the video tutorial.

3. Download the Ubuntu OS, not the virtual one on VMWare.

4. Download the files from froyo bundle thread on XDA, other beta files not needed.

5. I suggest you to reinstall, as it seems pretty unstable on your phone.

Just PM me if you have further inquiries.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Yeah, majority users over here are I8000. Because the current Beta only prioritize GT-i8000, it may run on other Omnia series phone, but might contains some glitches and problems.

Maybe you can try out the beta and open a new thread on B7610 over here? Because it seems that there's no other Omnia series beta tester here and you can always refer to here:

Thanks it works perfect.. Prety beautiful
[Omnia II Android Development] adan197:
Just a quick question, I noticed that my half of my 2Gb SD card is gone.

I presume that this is because of the space needed for Froyo.

How can I restore the 1Gb?
[Omnia II Android Development] Fuzzytru:
If You are using Sd instalation method 1Gb is taken by Ext4 partition and rest is Fat 32 so you cant see it under WinMO and In O2b is Used like Phone root memory So Sd is only what you have left from 1 Gb Ext4.

Only choice to get back yur 1 Gb is to Use Phone Memory instal /Iso. than Re Partiton SD
[Omnia II Android Development] adan197:
O.o

Damn. I'm not cut out for these things..

Is there an alternative? maybe a useful program for the PC where I can repartition the SD card?
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
You can resize the partition easily through gParted in Ubuntu by just scrolling the partition to the sizes desired and your files could be remained there untouched.
[Omnia II Android Development] aaaflyer:
i keep getting SOD! anyone can help? once in slp mode it will not recover again! ahhhhhh!
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Tell me more about what installation method you used and details on what problems you faced. I can't jump to a solutions now without knowing what caused the problems.

froyo bundle (neopeek auto install,storage fix)

original version (original notification bar)

http://www.multiupload.com/GZNXDOG0PI

i cant get it right with the files u provided here in this thread as it stucked at the r5:00000000 r4:00000000 error when i used ur first method so i tried another tread.

heres the thing.everything works fine. except when it goes to slp mode. it will only wake up 1 out of 10 times i tried to wake it up. no sound no nothing. i believe its dead because once i was doing contact import from my sim card and i pressed it to sleep. after a long time since it didnt respond to wake up i took out the batt and noticed the contact only copied half way. i dont have alot of contact to copy so im sure it will be completed if it is not dead..
[Omnia II Android Development] zxmwc24:
Thanks but I used the manual installation method so Froyo is installed on My Storage on a 3 GB ext4 partition. Mounting/umounting the SD card will have no effect on my ability to install apps. Any clue why it says "not enough space" when trying to install apps from Market? There is plenty...
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Have you try just to leave it to sleep without doing any thing on your device? Doubt it's caused by SOD, but I would rather say that it's hang on the transferring contact screen.

My contacts is always sync to Gmail account, so I can sync them easily to my phone, maybe you can give it a shot.

If the problem persists, try the manual installation in Ubuntu using the froyo bundle files.
[Omnia II Android Development] aaaflyer:
one more thing. i cant get my windows 7 to recognize this new android. any suggestions? it shows at first detect new storage. den after awhile show that it is not usable, cant recognise
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
You need to install adb in order to detect Android in pc.
[Omnia II Android Development] adan197:
Is there no way to do this with just Windows 7?

EDIT: Nvm. I found a useful program which helped me delete the ext4 partition and resize the fat32 to 2Gb.
[Omnia II Android Development] akuhendro:
is there any way to use my-storage as sd card

hi all,

i've been using the Android Froyo for two weeks now, and i must say it is very good, even though sometime the phone ask me to wait because may be it s busy, but i can accept that. i want to thank you all the developer and anyone who contribute their best work on this project.

my question is:

My phone has no sd-card installed, so i wonder is there any way that the my-storage which previously have been partitioned as FAT32 can be used as "SDCARD" ?

best regards,

Hendro

i follow the instruction. after i format my omnia II i able to load android. and then restart in windows mode. install back my apps then i try to load back android mode but cant... please help.......:confused::confused::confused::(:(

exactly hang at the screen showing in l3ong91 posy #2. sorry new user can post picture...
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Pictures explain everything. Since you don't any screenshot, accordignt o what you've said, I think it's something wrong with the startup.txt, try write down the mmcblk(X)p(X) number after haret.exe was ran, restart device, then try to change the mmcblk1p2 in startup.txt to the one you wrote down. (normally it's either mmcblk0p1/ mmcblk0p2 /mmcblk0p5)

Report backs if it helps!
[Omnia II Android Development] amar963:
Thanks

My device freezes on the screen

And never change

I waited for 15 minutes but nothing happened

I formatted my storage from computer as 4096 fat32 is this correct?

Please help
[Omnia II Android Development] taram:
there are too many links on the first two posts and I do not know which to choose to install Android. Can you help me please?
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
If you installed in on you internal memory, try changing your startup.txt into:

Set kernel zImage
Set ramsize 180*1024*1024
Set mtype 1626
Set ramaddr 0x50000000
Set kernelcrc 1
Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=[B]/dev/mmcblk0p2[/B] init=/init"
boot

or to the appropriate value (read it off your phone screen)

I formatted my storage from computer as 4096 fat32 is this correct?

This depends on how large your storage card is.

I've resized my 8gb card, 7gb fat32, 1gb ext4 (using ubuntu)
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
I've tried all methods and i'd prefer the ubuntu method. (But as always, this is personal).

If you're just 'testing' android/froyo, i'd suggest you to try the iso method.

This is very easy, no need to format, resize etc your partitions
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
Here is how i 'installed' Android:

1. Download VMWare player

2. Download Ubuntu VMWare image

3. Bootup VMWare player

4. Attach the (Ubuntu) image

5. Run Bbuntu

6. Connect I8000 to Ubuntu

7. Follow steps by l3ong91 (second post) e.g

3. Bootup Ubuntu, and copy o2b3update.tar.gz and ext4.tar.gz to desktop.

4. Download gParted and run it, go to Places -> unmount My Storage.

5. Start gParted, top right corner switch to My Storage (May have different label).

6. Create a new EXT 4 Partition, label as 'android', set as Primary Partition. (around 1 - 2GB will be good)

7. Then you will see 2 external drive on Ubuntu desktop.

8. Go to Places -> Mount both of them.

9. Then start Terminal from Applications and do all the commands below step by step.

Type in cd/ Desktop

Insert your password, then click Enter.

It will appears as (username) - desktop: ~/Desktop

Then, type in ''sudo tar zxvf ext4.tar.gz -C /media/android''

A list of files will be shown and copy over to the android partition.

Wait for the process to complete and type in below after return to ''(username) - desktop: ~/Desktop

''sudo tar zxvf o2b3update.tar.gz -C /media/android"

Last step, change the startup.txt found on another My Storage partition, rename the following line:

" Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root= /dev/mmcblk0p6 init=/init" to the partition number that you created, eg. mmcblk0p2.*

You should be able to bootup Android after that.

i'll try and create a vid tut on how to start ubuntu using vmware (if i can find some time).

here are my thoughts on Froyo (Internal SD vs My Storage):

Internal SD:

- Slow(er) than My Storage

- No SOD (yet)

- Often no phone connectivity

My Storage:

- Sometimes phone doesn't return from sleep

- Faster (more responsive)

- Always (phone) connectivity
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Thanks for reposting the guide, but the video installation tutorial is already available at jerrytech2468.blogspot.com, so those who have problems can install Android accordingly to the video.
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
I meant the vid tut on how to add ubuntu image to VMWare player (my step 1-5)

(Not everyone know how to properly use vmware) :-)
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Official installation : SD card installer, transfer the files over and patched the system automatically, reboots required

ISO installation : My Storage installer, transfer the files over and patched the system automatically, no reboot required, big file size

Manual Ubuntu installation: My Storage/SD card installer, transfer the files over and run, no reboot required, Ubuntu required

It depends on you to choose which installation method. As a beginner in this, I suggest you try using the official method and ISO installation, which is much simpler as compared to manual installation, which requires some basic knowledge for Android and Ubuntu system.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Yeah sure, you're welcome to post a video related to it, haven't really find it though, for me I re-partition Ubuntu into my Windows OS hard disk.
[Omnia II Android Development] taram:
Thank you for your help. I currently use the iso method, but I sometimes randomly and problems of downloading software to Android Market.

another problem, after a few days the battery drains quickly and very hot.

This method iso is really good because easy for a novice like me. Too bad I encounter these problems because I like its simplicity of implementation. Thank you for your help.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Yeah, actually this ISO was packed by a user who managed to get Froyo working and repacked the system into ISO format for beginner to install it easily.

As what you've said, the ISO seems not very stable and gets hot easily. Running on My Storage using Ubuntu will be better as my phone doesn't get hot easily unless I use wi-fi for more than an hour, but battery usage still acceptable as I charged about once a day or more.
[Omnia II Android Development] xdapapaya:
I reformat my sd card and re install by ISO method. it works.

The problem now is. during i made a call.. maybe in sec 15, the screen off and the sound disappear. I tried many times it is not network problem. no sound at all after the screen off...

2nd, i pressed "menu" button. show out the "speaker", "bluetooth", "endcall" etc.. but none of them can function only the "end call" can be press.. anyone can help?
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Go to Market and download an app called "call light".

Please help! I successfully installed Froyo beta1 on my 8gb card but on first boot it has been running for 14 hours (and counting)!

The current process is request_suspend_state: wakeup (0->0).

What should I do? :confused:

UPDATE: Fixed the problem by installing 2d/3d library files. Thanks l3ong91!
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Did you use the original 2d/3d library files?

If you problem still persists after using the original one, try the other one by mihai_mihai.
[Omnia II Android Development] bouzouste:
I had the same problem and i solved with this way

Open "o2Beta" Folder and run haret.exe

after reboot run haret.exe from the root of your 8gb storage card
[Omnia II Android Development] djduijs:
i have placed the update in: My Storage and when i start haret.exe in the map 02beta folder. and next i start the other haret from My Storage and i get the same as dtsy:confused:. how can i fix that ?

thanks for reading
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Which update are you referring to? you will have to make sure that the o2b3update.tar.gz was there before you go for second boot of haret.exe from root of My Storage. Some users reported that the update will disappeared after the first boot.

hi guys, after so many days of hard work and troubleshooting i had finally manage to keep my android stable for 2 days now. i eventually had problems with SOD. the problem was not with my installation but was with the 'angry bird' game. each time i install 'angry bird' i will have SOD.

im using froyo bundle from neopeek and its working excellent. i just need to know which angry bird version would work on this. and if u have SOD, just try to uninstall Ur previous apps, and restart few times. you don't have to reinstall the whole thing again. hopefully this helps.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
I think Angry Birds Rio is running fine on Android Froyo, but requires network connection though.

Button/Key Remapping?

Hello. Wanted to thank All the Developers who made Android possible on Omnia, this is just amazing! I was following the development news for like half a year and based on feedback from all posts had an opinion of Android not being quite ready for my phone. When I finally decided on giving up on WinMo and selling the phone I decided to give it a last chance, downloaded Froyo and what a surprise, everything went smooth like a butter. Amazingly everything just works like a charm! Now message to whomever is still not sure: JUST DO IT, you wont regret it even for one second, seriously it is that good! Just follow the tutorials to last letter and you will be fine (I used Froyo Bundle from Ritchietos).

Now to my question, How can I remap two buttons, the LOCK and BACK ones seem to be not very logical while back button is now leading straight to Home screen instead of going one step back as it should and LOCK in my opinion should lead to home screen instead (Basically their functions need to be reverted for better usability!) If this message can somehow be forwarded to Devs I would really appreciate this as well as many others. Keep up the GREAT WORK guys and thank you once again, you are awesome!
[Omnia II Android Development] yak_vi:
Any try use Reverse USB Tethering with this version if this is possible obviously.

Thanks!
[Omnia II Android Development] Drunk_Arthas:
I experienced a major problem here~

I followed all your instructions posted on page 11, and I managed to get into the froyo interface. All the settings went fine.

But after one reboot of the device, it's still the Windows OS booting since then.

Any way to fix this problem, mate? Thanks in advance.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Everytime WinMo will bootup first after you restart the device. What do you mean by it's still the Windows OS booting since then? cannot bootup Android anymore?

Everytime you will have to bootup to Windows and run haret.exe again to bootup Android, it will not automatically bootup Android at start.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Theoretically Windows ROM does not affect Android performance. Have you tried the froyo bundle by Richietos? Try that one and report back here, it should be workable.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
This problem is caused by wrong 2d/3d library files, since you have put in the correct file, I have no idea what's went wrong.

A quick suggestion, download Ubuntu and learn the manual installation method.
[Omnia II Android Development] hovensy:
tried it already with the same issue, wifi scans, sees the network, entered wep pass, connecting then disconnects.. :(
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
I don't think I can do much in helping you since you have already tried the stable release also. But just a suggestion, maybe try manual installation through Ubuntu can fix that? Not guarantee it might works, but at least you can give it a shot.

after one week of testing i have the same problem with the wifi connection. After some time using the 2g/3g is is not possible to connect to my wifi at home. i have to restart my phone an then i can use the wifi link.

[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Doubt that setCPU can prevent SOD.

setCPU is to allow users to lower down or increase the CPU usage, and to prevent battery draining, but personally I don't think it can affect the SOD. But some users reported that other apps such as Juice Defender and Task Killers might helps. To reduce SOD, make sure you killed all the running apps or reduce it to lowest number as possible before you let the device to sleep, best to have higher than 50mb RAM.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
iso version doesn't really fix those problem I think, and the iso version certainly runs slower. Try manual installation method through Ubuntu, and use the froyo bundle package by Richietos, it eventually solves everything.
[Omnia II Android Development] PuCiNhOOO:
I think it works, since when it's charging, it never sleeps, and that is because it never let the processor goes down too mutch.

Since I use SetCPU, with a minumun of 133Mhz and a max of 800Mhz, I'm able to say that i prevent SOD =)

For Ram memory, i can't get more than 30Mb free at any time.
