How do you sign in for Google account on Froyo? 3G or WiFi?

I know that 3G always works, but I've been trying to figure out a way to sign in using wifi alone.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
Iam using wifi only for the moment .

Even for sign in for Google account never used 3g on my phone or data ,only wifi.

And market works 100% for me.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Yes, finally a workable and fully functional android with no glitches...thanks for sharing tips, will reflect this over my post.
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
I'll be trying this right now. Will post back on my experience.
[Omnia II Android Development] bb6531:
well done!thx!downloading..
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Crap. I'm on Windows and I gotta DL Ubuntu for this because GParted Live disc doesn't mount the SDcard. Keeps giving me "No directory found' for the "sudo CP" step.
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Hey guys, I've tested it by following the video carefully and have successfully installed Froyo on my phone.

Going to test Market now. The clock is working properly of course.

I don't like the black theme though. Any idea how to revert it back to the stock theme?

New Update:WiFi confirmed to be working fine. [I entered the wrong password all along. LOLWTF]

Market is having no problems. Installed over 5 apps already.

Even newer Update: Android crashes randomly [Screen freeze with no physical buttons working]
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Agree with those updates, yeah, and I don't like that black notification bar theme either, shows dithered gradients.

But I didn't experienced the last point before, probably crashes caused by some apps?
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
As per mentioned, it's pretty erratic and random. No crashes for around an hour for now.

Also, just like you've said, the black notification bar is seriously messed up. When I pull it down fast, it shows INCONSISTENT levels of transparency which is ugly.
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
iam making a update that remove the black theme again to stock.I just wake up need som coffee first lol .
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Thanks a bunch mate! Is it possible for me to remove the theme without having to redo the entire installation?
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
no need to reinstall again its just a update u need to do via terminal.

i'm almost done uploading now .
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Oh god. It's getting SoD now. Any idea how I should go about solving it?
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
i only had 1 sleep of dead from 7 days now maybe som apps ?? and the sleep of dead was on a fresh install never had it again .
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Seems like it's fine again. Pretty unstable lol. :eek:
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
thread updated

update for the white froyo bar

dont have the time to test it yet iam 99 % shure it works .
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
Btw both your DL link and the "How to" link is the SAME. LOLOOLL :D:D
[Omnia II Android Development] ritchietos:
u have a omnia i8000 ?

i must say it pretty stable no crashes for me what apps are u installing ?

i did this method on 7 different phones now and al are working fine ( btw we al have the same phone @work)
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
i8000 of course. Haha. Only installed Facebook, replaced ADW.Launcher, installed LauncherPro. Nothing much done so far.
[Omnia II Android Development] Lantresor:
I need help, i successfully change to Froyo and it was fantastic !

The only downside now is I cannot get my pc to read my phone when i connect it through USB .

And under Settings>Wireless & Networks, there is no USB connection tab to be found .

Is there another way to activate USB connection ?

Thanks for the help and the bundle !
[Omnia II Android Development] seantse:
Thanks l3ong91!!

I always get the message below when choosing "Full Erase" in SDFormatter and the SD card seems formatted as "quick" option:

"Flash Erase" operation has been canceled because this device didn't support it.

:confused:
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
That option for "full erase" was suggested by some users though. For me, I used "Quick" option as well to reformat SD card.
[Omnia II Android Development] Sim Kai Long:
You'd have to use ADB to access your android phone.

Or use Dropbox like some of us do too.

Personally, I use both.
[Omnia II Android Development] thepinkowl84:
what is adb??is it some driver for connecting between windows and android..
[Omnia II Android Development] thepinkowl84:
and does drop box need network connection to use it??
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Yes, it works like cloud services, connection needed for sync.

Sent from i8000 Android Froyo via XDA App
[Omnia II Android Development] thepinkowl84:
ok since drop box needs cloud syncing i wouldnt prefer that..

can u pls give me a link to the adb.

i tried to do it from device anager but it says cant find drivers..

little problem with My Storage

Hello everybody,

I'm new in this forum and i have a little problem: yesterday I installed froyo bundle in my Omnia 2 using Windows in My Storage, and i installed without problems: now is running and all functions works fine.

The problem is that: when i am in Android, i can't see the content of sdcard (first partition Fat32), i downloaded ES explorer and this shows me 'sd card' with a folder called Andoid (its empty) but i cant see the installation files or anything (I guess this partition is really the 'system' ext2 part).

I dont know what can i do, i searched in this thread but i dont find a possible solution (or i have not seen).

One more thing, its only curiosity: whats the difference of recovery or reboot? (i use reboot everytime to go back WM).

A lot of thanks everyone (excuse my bad english :P).

Regards.
[Omnia II Android Development] noelablon:
I still am having problems installing the Froyo bundle because of the STARTUP.txt. Just want to ask, where should I point the INIT? Should it be in my FAT32, EXT2 or My Storage? This will be a great help. Thanks in advance.
[Omnia II Android Development] noelablon:
I have decided to surrender for a while, it is taking a lot of time from me trying to figure out what to do. I've tried mmcblk1p6 (ext2) and mmcblk1p5 (fat32) but it still didn't work. I've followed these instructions:

but it always fail. Did I miss something? Thanks.
[Omnia II Android Development] noelablon:
It seems nobody was able to figure this out. Anyway, I finally installed Froyo but not this package. I have a different concern now which I'll post on the other side so I won't confuse people here. Thanks for the hard work guys. You've done an excellent job.

minitool partition

use this froyo bundle (thx to neopeek for the installer)

and install MiniTool Partition

this installer installs the bundle to my storage only

i installed minitool. i did not find any option to partition 'my storage' of my phone. help please.
[Omnia II Android Development] vortexczech:
Do you have set "My storage" as the USB connection in WM?

after that you should see my storage in windows and therefore in the Minitool, be careful to select only the my storage disk and click "delete all partitions" (or something like that) and create partitions according to the manual on the first page.

I've managed to install Android in the My Storage ofmy samsung b7610. There are some problems though. It freezes when I press a hardware button and the landscape orientation is wrong (Screen is always upside down)

Are there other people who tried to run this on a b7610?
[Omnia II Android Development] Shadowlord666:
Please help, I cannot install Android anymore with the method described here.

That's what happens when I use the installer from this thread:

mke2fs: cannot determine if /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on sdcard/npkinstall/m

ntext2 failed: No such file or directory

Okay, I haven't found the reason for this error, but I managed to copy all files using Linux. Android is working again.

call light

as I checked from your first post, I guess SOD is still an issue in your bundle.

But when I tried with the fix raised by thanh_nha, it seems to cause crash (I even need to run Haret from npkinstall for format/restart)

so maybe there's something for 2 of you to blend up?
[Omnia II Android Development] maw2k:
Is there a way to install it on the storage card? "my storage" is the second time gone on my omnia2 and i'm tired of sending it back. so it would be great, if i can install it on my storage card.
[Omnia II Android Development] jamesbk77:
PLEASE refer to page 1 for installation guide. Iso package installer, only for ' storage.' Not sdcard installation.

Iso package, try to use original package iinstead of black notification package.
[Omnia II Android Development] jamesbk77:
As for your SOD issue, temporary use Call Light from market to fix issue. While awaiting for Dev Team doing their finally testing on the latest Froyo package.

[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Here are a few tips for you:

1. Play with the timezone and date and after a shortwhile, the clock should be able to sync automatically after that.

2. Some users reported app like ClockSync may work to sync the time accordingly (Required data connection, corrects me if I'm wrong).

3. If you're lazy to do all these stuff mentioned above, just leave your phone aside. It will automatically sync back to the correct time after running for few hours.

and ps. is it possible to setup a default storage for installing apps? e.g. directly on the sdcard?

SD card Unavailable

Hi Guys,

First, Thanks.

I have installed the bundle and it seems to work so far. This phone is so much better with Android :D

I have one issue though ...

I see the SD card as unavailable in the storage settings.

That means I have about 600 MB free (the Internal Phone Storage).

I do see /sdcard/android (empty) from the android file explorer, but I can't move apps to it.

I have spent some time reading other threads but either it's not exactly the same situation, or I just don't understand it : S

Right now my partitions are:

fat32 6.66 GB sdcard

ext2 1 GB system

Can I do anything to have the 6 GB recognized as the internal SD so I can install/move apps in there?

Also, is there a way to boot directly on android, if possible I wouldn't mind getting totally rid of Windows.

Thanks ;)

deleting

hey, I'm kinda new to deleting,formatting partitions and all.

So my question is, if I delete all partitions from my phone. Can I get them back?

Because if I don't want to use android anymore, my partitions would still be gone right.

summarized:

Does deleting the partitions affect the use of WM 6.5, If I dont want android anymore and if they affect the use how can I get them back.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
In general, partitioning is splitting your SD card into 2 or more partition. For this Omnia2Droid, splitting it into WinMo and Android partition will not affect the performance, it's just that you will have less space to use in Windows as the other half of the partition was used for Android. Clearing away all the partition will not affect WinMo, but it will affects your programs that were installed to SD Card. There is no way you can get the files back if you clear away the partition.

ALWAYS CREATE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU PARTITION YOUR SD CARD!
[Omnia II Android Development] tacotime77:
I'm having problems installing this on Windows.

As per the instructions, here are the steps I took

1. Installed minitool

2. Created partitions on SD Card

3. Unzipped package to "my storage" of phone

4. Ran haret.exe from "my storage" -> phone reboots

5. Ran haret.ext from npkinstall -> phone attempts to reboot but does not load into Winmo/Android (requires reset to get back into Winmo)

Am I doing something wrong?

thanks in advance

hi, first of all, thanks for all your efforts, its really great to find such a thread like this.

in second place, i was trying to install froyo on my omnia following your instructions but i found myself stuck on step 1 :( i cant even format "my storage", im using windows 7 home, i dont know if that has anything to do, but when i open minitool partition wizard, the cellphone is never shown, only my hard drives. Perhaps im doing it all wrong.

I hope you can help me despite the fact that im new on this forum.

Ps, sorry if my english isnt perfect but its not my native language...

Did you set My Storage to "Mass Storage" under WM?
[Omnia II Android Development] Chubastank:
:o i was just about to edit my original post saying that i was under sync mode hahaha... i changed to massive storage mode and formated following the instructions, y copied the bundle to my sd card, y ran haret from the npkinstall folder, and after a few minutes of the installation, the cellphone restarted, then win started again, like nothing ever happened =( ... as the instructions said "If your phone is rebooted run haret from the root of my storage" i did that and then the installation was frozen.

Im a little confused ´cuz the instructions on the first post said that it was meant to install without sd card but then the instructions on the bundle said that i should copy the files to the sd card...

i will copy the files to the cellphone "my storage" and try again... i hope that works!

and thanks a lot for your fast answere!:D
[Omnia II Android Development] Chubastank:
ok, i installed it from my storage and at the end of the installation it says kernel panic could not sync.

the cellphone then restarted, nothing happened so i ran haret from the root folder, after a few minutes, android starts loading :D ... cant wait to check if it really works! its been like 3 minutes since it started loading so im getting a little bit worried by now....
[Omnia II Android Development] Chubastank:
sorry for creating so many posts but i cant edit the original ones...

so, after 5 minutes or so of the android loading screen, it crashed really bad hahaha i mean, the screen turned multicolor, like an old tv getting interference but with colors instead of black and white... the buttons did not respond and i had to remove the battery in order to turn it off.

I did all the process again and it worked juuuuust fine!!!

the only problem i found is that it did not recognized my sd card... im reading the whole thread to find the solution...

once again, thaks for this development, its aweeeesome!

the only "problem" that i found is that your pc will not recognize the phone, in order to copy files to the omnia, i use the winmobile OS and then sync it to the pc.

cannot install apps from market

Hi guys, been a lurker here for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to try Android on my Omnia.

I followed the Ubuntu installation instructions for froyo bundle v2 (my storage fix) and thus far managed to get it working for basic SMS and call functions. Many thanks to the great team for this - it's so refreshing to finally have another OS with potentially greater apps than the stock winMo 6.5.

I formatted my SD card in Ubuntu as well using gParted to FAT32, and Android recognizes it fine as I can install the Call Light apk downloaded from the first page from the SD card. HOWEVER, Android market keeps complaining of "Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item" even though I have 0.95GB on the SD card and 3.21GB on the internal phone storage available.

I have tried the fixes for market problem from l3ong91 over on the Android Froyo (2.2) Beta Releases on Omnia 2 from Almar and his team thread - method 1's force stop and clear data and method 2's toggle DNS. I've even tried unmounting the SD card to see if market will install to the internal storage but it's a no-go as well.

Short of trying method 3 & 4 over on l3ong91's thread (coz I don't know which release this froyo bundle v2 is based on), I've ran out of ideas to try. Can anyone provide me with a fix for this "not enough space to install" problem?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Backup and reformat SD card using SD Formatter on Windows Desktop. It should be able to fix the error.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
You can use ADB to push the files into phone, either through cable or wirelessly. There is a guide and tutorial on how to install ADB on Omnia 2 on the Google Source Code Page.

Or try DropBox instead. Great software.
