Just installed the Android Bundle (via Windows XP) and I'm very happy with it.

Everything seems to work fine. Got some problems, but found out the solution here or by myself.

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the Wifi (WEP) connection. The WPA works flawless.

1. Problems with importing contacts

The Android system doesn't read the SIM-contacts. I've tried all kind of tools, but with no effect.

Solution:

Start your phone with WM6(.5) en connect it with a PC (Outlook).

Synchronize contacts only and they will appear in Outlook. Now export them to vCards.

(This is also a problem, as Outlook can only export 1 contact at the time and tools are not so easy to find).

What I did is: Select All contacts and send them to an email-adress (in this case your own)..

Then you'll receive the mail with all contacts as vCard-attachments. Save these attachments on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.

Start Android and import contacts from SD-card.

2. No SD-Card found. Simply format the SD-Card on your PC (with an adaptor) as FAT (not FAT32).. Works great.

Hey! Is it possible for you to share with us where to get iGo8 for Android? :cool:
[Omnia II Android Development] arctos0384:
Err... I did mention that Android was recognizing my SD card. Under Settings -> SD card & phone storage, it shows my SD card has having 0.95GB of free space.

Anyways I tried using SD Formatter as per your suggestion with "Quick Format" and "Size Adjustment" on but the same issue persists. :(
[Omnia II Android Development] Chubastank:
did you try the way i told you?

"cannot install apps from market" - fixed

You mean by using an older Android phone? I don't have any. :p

Anyways I finally fixed this problem by re-sizing the Android partition in My Storage to 1024MB exactly and performing the haret installation all over again. (It was previously 3GB+.) Now the SD card is properly recognized and market apps installs normally.

Once again, many thanks to the dev team for a great job well done. :)

Thanks a bunch mate. :D:D

Pocketfs.sys

i have some problem using neopeek installer

i can not copy POCKETFS.SYS to root of mystorage

and if i run haret.exe from "npkinstall" folder there's an error message mentioning

"cannot determined .../mmcl02 is mounted"

and ended with kernel panic.

Try using activesync (that little annoying process yeh :] )

Worked like a charm, and you will have the wm6.5 / gmail / android contacts perfectly synced (with pics!!! and links, and... all extra info :) )

I download the package for direct installation on Window.

I couldn't get Minitool to work on MyStorage on O2. I connect my O2 via usb cable to my laptop. I doubt Minitool will see it as a storage. I suppose i don't need this minitool for this direct installation.

I unzip the downloaded file and copy all of them directly to MyStorage root. I couldn't copy the file POCKETFS.SYS to MyStorage because it complain that the file is being used.

I run the /npkinstall/haret.exe and it reboot successfully into WinMo.

I follow the instruction to run /haret.exe directly from root. Halfway through the process it hanged. I tried a few times is still the same.

Would like to seek advice how to troubleshoot or anyhow know where i have gone wrong ?
[Omnia II Android Development] mushikipt:
You need to mount "My storage" as a usb direct storage (like a pen drive), and not activesync mode (in active sync mode you have acess to internet and all 3 drives (system/mystorage/sdcard but files will still be used by wm6.5 if needed ofc.

You can set this in the windows mobile samsung settings (something like... general .... usb connection)

In direct/mass storage mode you can select "my storage", and if you have some apps installed in mystorage and running (like phonex/etc) they will be stopped (that includes POCKETFS.SYS.)

And only then mini tool will detect the drive like a regular usb flashdrive

When you ran the npkinstall/haret.exe it didnt install android at all and rebooted anyways because the linux partition didnt exist (u skipped that part) and obviously when you started haret.exe in root to start android it crashed.

And btw thanks ritchietos for this windows install method with mini tool, its really fast to install and in future versions really easy to upgrade or reinstall the android version :)
[Omnia II Android Development] spinex:
Hi mushikipt,

thanks for the info. I manage to get Android installed :)
[Omnia II Android Development] spinex:
I read that we should format the sd card as "FAT" but it should be a primary or logical partition to work in Android ?

Anyway i managed to get it working after format as FAT and primary partition. :D

how to move apps to sd card. APPtoSd app doesnt move apps with this froyo 2.2 beta. please help
[Omnia II Android Development] frenkie9999999:
Good morning to all.

Why installing the autoinstall version on my b7610 the SDCARD and Storage do not detect?

I 've installed on i8000 and everything work, but not on B7610!

I've done so many tests (with SD mounted, unmounted) but nothing! does not work!

I tried all the updates for this problem but nobody has solved it.

The problem is not only the SDcard, but also "Internal Storage" ...

Hello;

Here the same problem.

Can anyone help please?

best regards

anyone tried installing chainfire 3d on this bundle?
[Omnia II Android Development] ezeran:
Nice Tut!

Tried it for the first time with the i8000 and everything worked link a charm. Except for the ABD Drivers. (Had to edit the INF file).

The only problem i have now is with the marketplace. Tried every workaround found in this and other posts but nothing works.

The marketplace works for 2 or 3 times, then the next time when I search for something there's this annoying "network error".

Has anybody similar problems?
[Omnia II Android Development] Pingerek:
just make bigger partition for android eg 2 gb and problem solved.
[Omnia II Android Development] kovatch:
I had a hell of a time with the minitool partitioner loosing the drive designation and could not figure it out for a while

so if you are setting up your my storage first go into

usb settings and then set my storage as mass storage

then when partitioning and formating the SDcard make sure that it is the first partition

when you are selecting the size there are three boxes as you slide the indicator it automatically puts the remaining space before the main SDcard partition. to fix this increase the third box until the first box is 0 and the third box is the 1024mb or what ever size you choose.

If you do not do this you will not get android installed.

I hope this makes sense, and it only matters for a windows install
[Omnia II Android Development] virusbtg:
wil winmo get erased by this
[Omnia II Android Development] msalcedo:
No, Android runs after opening a .exe file in WinMo (see the instructions)

how can I delete and create the partitions with windows and minitool?

I tried with WM5torage and selected DSK3 / MMC Card.

Minitool is showing the partitions but is not able to make any changes.

Any ideas?

I'm so sorry but i'm going to leave and don't have time to search for the problem. Android says that sdcard is damaged. What to do?

Always have a problem with apps of Androids :(
[Omnia II Android Development] madorax:
hello. I'm new member here and currently using your method on 1st page.

i already succeed it, but there some question that i want to ask.

FIRST i created 3 partition instead of 2.

- sdcard (1.5 gb) fat32

- system (1.5 gb) ext2

- mystorage (rest of it) fat32

the performance seem to be a little slow, i already using the sdcard speed patch on the 1st page and set it to 2048 as it mention it to be the best, and comparing to galaxy mini, the speed is so below average. is this normal or it's just me?

because the slowness, i have to slow tap the keyboard for sending some sms.

and 1 more thing, i can't import my phonebook from SIM, it says my SIM has empty. what happen?

anybody can help with answer? thanks before ^^
[Omnia II Android Development] virusbtg:
ya

the same problem with mine.slow and can not import contacts from the sim.

plus im geting massge saying that process com.google.process.gapps is not responding.market dos not seem to work properly after that

Any idea if this can be updated for Beta 2?
[Omnia II Android Development] jopereira:
I've done a successful installation in my TMN (Portuguese operator) 8Gb O2.

Two things:

1) I only have 55Mb free in Android. Is this normal? (my Galaxy Mini gets 120-130Mb after lots of applications installed)

2) It worked fine until I reboot... many applications were working fine but not anymore. Possible cause?

BTW, my Wi-Fi works fine but only after I changed some parameters (11 channels , turn-off after screen off). I can even go to sleep mode, turn back again with Wi-Fi working just fine (I thought this would be a problem even with most recent beta 2).

Has anyone been able to set up Exchange/Corporate Mail using CyanogenMod beta 1? I am currently using RemoSync Exchange Activesync. Very good app but this is not a truly free version.
[Omnia II Android Development] ClaudioPerez:
Having issues here using Windows, I also need to know how to back up everything..

Going into USB connections -> My storage the laptop won't detect anything, going into mass storage my SD card appears.

Going into active sync shows a directory for my storage for only 161MB (thought it was bigger) But anyways I've tried taking the file and placing it manually on the phone itself from SD to my storage root but it says there is insufficient space (i've done factory reset) So if there is still files that I can't see I need to know how to delete things.

The links I've seen for automatic SD card installation I've heard are a bit slower, but I can deal with that I guess, just need to know how to back up my files from my storage, been an issue since I can't see it anywhere on my computer.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
back

Hey sorry for not posting anymore here .(phone is back from rma)

iam gonna get back making some new bundels and easy installers for the new beta's ''''cmomnia'''' easy for updates and new bundels in the future .

[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Hi, it's possible to update the system by renaming the updates.tar.gz to o2b3update.tar.gz and transfer them over My Storage, right? Coz I was too lazy to bootup my Windows to Ubuntu again.
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Yeh I'd like to know this too hahaha.

Updating via VMware-d Ubuntu now.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
yes its possible i just dont use (had som experience whit corrupted files that way )

btw if u dont see my storage on android i have a update for that to
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Alright, I'll post the results after my phone boots, it's booting right as I type this.

Edit: Alright! It worked. But takes much longer to boot. Maybe because it's the first time and has to cache? :cool:

Where is My Storage supposed to be in Android? Under mnts?
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
under storage if its empty pleas report ( i wil give u a update for that ) and i will upload the working bundle.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
It's under root of partition /storage, yeah..and I hope ritchietos can post that fixes too.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:

Hi ,

I got kernel panic error , It seems some thing is wrong with /init ..

what should i do?
[Omnia II Android Development] Metalian:
Its after the following step, I had the same problem

run terminal and type

" sudo cp /media/sdcard/ext4.tar.gz /media/system/

I use dutch version but I try to translate

cp: can´t make normal file ´/media/system/': It is a folder.
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
No directory found is because sdcard isn't mounted to your system properly.

Please use REAL Ubuntu. GParted Live Disc won't work. :cool:
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
For the My Storage update, are we still able to access to SD card or it will now on read everything on My Storage instead of SD card?
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
Sd card and my storage works the same like on windows mobile now.

Just look for the map storage thats you fat32 my storage now.

And sd card stil works the same .

Things not working

Hello guys, I would like to share some experiences with Android in Omnia 2.

-Radio is not working. I dont know if it is already known to not work, like bluetooth, but.... just sharing

-Android cannot read my contacts in the SIM card. This is very bad, I save all my contacts in there...

-The default player is unable to find any music in the phone. Is there any especific folder to drop musics? Any way, if I go in file explorer and play a music, it works, but It have to be through file explorer. The player also is unable to read music data, like album art, album name, artist and all other stuff. It just plays the music...

-Camera works, but I dont thing it has the same resolution of winmo.

-Wifi works fine

-Market place works fine

-Android never crashed (max time in android = 12h)

-Some games I could not install, some install and do not work and some works great! I installed Zenonia an runs perfectly. Illusia enters in the game menu and crashes to home screen for example.

-Touch response lags some times (a little)

-If you get out android it freezes the clock time. When you enter android again, you have to set up clock again.

-I tryied all menus, all possible configurations and every thing, exept for the know bugs, is working fine. The major things even better than winmo, like pdf reading and some game speed (Zenonia 2 in android hus a little better than Zenonia 1 in winmo).

That is it.
[Omnia II Android Development] Metalian:
I followed exactly what to do in de file.

I still cant get it done in the terminal.

I use ubuntu with dual boot. And I copy the text out of your file but it keeps on saying that /media/system/ is no directory

then I looked up what folders there are in media

and I saw that there were 2 folders

sdcard

system_

and a Gzip file called system. I dont know where that file comes from or what it does but I cannot remove it? is that the reason why I look into Gpart and I see the system map which has name system being mounted as sytem_?
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Radio and bluetooth are officially listed as not working features yet.

For music, where did you install Android on? If you installed on My Storage, then you can put all the music files in My Storage and vice versa for SD card. By default it will read any music files detected on My Storage/SD card.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
did you mount u device again ?(like i did on you tube) and close gparted if u run terminal.

Can froyo beta 1 install on my storage by folder o2beta ?
[Omnia II Android Development] Hlavson:
Can i install this directly from my Omnia 2 ? Just overwrite files that are in beta1 and run haret.exe from folder, after that run directly from My Storage? Ok?
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
if you want to use the auto installer just ad the o2beta folder and replace the startup.txt (from the root) not the startup.txt from o2beta

try converting ur contacts to vcards and synchronize it from android..if its still not appearing then download phonebook 2.0 from market and view ur contacts from there ..
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
That is one way.

Another is to import from SIM which I never had a problem with.

Alternatively, one could also just add the contacts to their Google account via the PC or another android phone. Then it'll just sync every time you do add your Google account to a new Android phone.

storage works with first bundle, bot with V2

What exactly did you change with the my storage problem?

I noticed when i install the first bundle i can acces the storage folder, but in V2 (the one with the my storage fix) i cannot acces it anymore, the folder is empty so i assume it is not mounted.

I tried to download the storage fix seperatly to see wich changes had been done but i get a "file is not available error" on megaupload.

For now i changed back to the first bundle and everything works fine again.

But i would like to know what has been changed in case you bring a version 3 out with the fix bundled in it.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
On v2 my storage is mounted under the map storage (on mmcblk0p1 ) look on android for the map storage .

The first version is mounted on mmcblk0p5 or mmcblk0p6 these only works on extended partitions .

And thx for reporting the broken link i'm uploading a new one.

Can't Live Wallpaper . Why ???
[Omnia II Android Development] paris.com:
Hi guys.

I am confused. Where do i do the partitions? In a SD card or in the internal memory of the phone? Also when you say to leave at least 1024 mb left where should I leave them? In the sdcard or in the system partition?

Also where do I place the bundle files? In the SD card or in my storage?

Thank you in advance!
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Are you running on manual installation?

If you are, then most likely is the problem with the wallpaper that you downloaded.

For me(running on manual installation), I was able to download livewallpaper and apply them, however the original not working, only those downloaded from Market works.

Btw, not every livewallpaper are working on this beta.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
make the partitions on my storage (no sd card needed)

the 1024 mb thats left is for the second partition (ext2 ''system")

and copy all your files to the root of my storage (on the first partition)

if you want i can make a you tube tutorial video of this to
[Omnia II Android Development] paris.com:
Making a video will be great both for the installation and to see the actual froyo working in Omnia 2. It seems that a great work has been done here so it would be good to have some more detailed instructions.

Is this safe for the phone to make changes to the storage? Can I return back if I need to?

Also in previous non bundle installations I had some issues with apps downloading. I could visit the Market % select the app but always the download was unsuccessful.
[Omnia II Android Development] Metalian:
It doesnt affect your windows mobile instalation. The storage is what is says. Purely storage. However. do BACK UP the date on it. Since you will obviously loose all data stored in your My storage folder.

Keep in mind that android is installed besides WM, like a dual boot on your pc (windows + ubuntu for example)
[Omnia II Android Development] Metalian:
Yeah but as I now see your new post and new instuctions i just did it wrong. Since you called one of the partitions sdcard I thought we had to install everything on the sd card.

With you new instuctions it has become clear that you actually meant to call one of the partitions on MY STORAGE sdcard...

I am now installing it with the new windows method you posted.

First install worked fine untill wifi crashed.

I rebooted and started haret.exe again but it gave errors.

I then reinstalled from the start and when I started haret again after the instalation it went on till OK! IPC transfer start

But it gave a phone error. Gonna try again a new instalation.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
i had this problem whit wifi to just turn it off and onn wait and try again ( for me it worked the second time) and wifi turns off if the device go to sleep . down a app on the market keep wifi alive .
[Omnia II Android Development] Metalian:
Yeah but with crash I really mean crash. I turned it off but was never able to turn it on again. It kept saying `turning wifi off`in those light grey letters. Could not press it again. That why i rebooted but then when I started haret.exe it gave a panic error when starting.

I now managed to reinstall the whole thing again but the wifi could not even be turned on. It says error in the wifi button.

Thanks for the tip on the wifi alive app though. That will be extremely usefull if that one works. (if I can get the wifi to work in the first place :D)
[Omnia II Android Development] Metalian:
ok this is whats happening.

1 - installing froyo with the windows bundle from post 1.

2 - instalation works fine. all starts up and I can usee android

3 - turning on wifi, wifi works for a short while.

4 - wifi crashes and cannot be turned on

5 - rebooting the phone, starting up haret.exe again

6 - kernel panic - not syncing error during startup

7 - need to reinstall everything :<

happened 3 time snow :S

I have no idea what causes this. Maybe I should try the ubuntu way?
