Seems normal for a polaris running with android. but then what i did was to identify several apps running in the background that use a lot of power:

1. Wifi uses a lot of power. I better turn it off when not used.

2. Clock Alarm uses power so I better turn it off in Fridays and Saturdays.

3. Using a utility app that reads running apps in the background I found several not really useful for me like the Voice recognizer app so I uninstalled it. Sometimes apps that meant to increase RAM by staying on in the background can use a lot of power and may be not worth keeping. Sometimes "battery saver" apps do worse.

4. Some installed apps that periodically sync with the web are power-siphons. A contact app or a messaging app can be a culprit. 3G signal can also be a siphon.

5. and finally, the prime suspect is our LCD display. Too much brightness drains much battery. Better drag an app from the market that controls display brightness.

In the end, we are culprits of using technology never meant for one, like trying to fry with a rice cooker :) - it has its explicit disadvantages. When i turned to the android and flushed my windows mobile 6.5 to the toilet i made a vow to myself that no matter how laggy it is, nor how matter how a nuisance it is to lose every data from phone resets, i would never ever throw it out of the window -LoL-

Right now Im installing everything in parsimony, choosing only whats most necessary to fit in 110MB of application data. In standby my phone can stay up for 15 hrs but using it for playing World War, I get to have it still juiced for only 3 hrs.

(by the way if your playing World War add me as your ally, im a little engrossed to it. thanks. my code is 227EG4
[Touch Cruise Android Development] PH600:
Thanks arzakem.

I don't have wifi turned on, but 3g connection is always on.

I disconected my phone from charger at 6:50 and right now (13:25) -Portuguese time- I have 65% of battery.

Is there any app that manages 2g/3g connection to only turn on 3g when really needed?

And for task manager, do you can tell me one good?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] arzakem:
welcome. :) im not using any task manager coz they always reside in memory and uses battery. there is in fact a preinstalled app in the "rom" that disables 3g, edge and gprs. It is named APNDroid. Check it out and try if it works for you. As for disabling running apps, i turn to android's built in settings for Managing applications.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] PH600:
Ok :)

Will try that.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] PH600:
Hi.

I have other question:

Everytime I reboot my phone, I losse every widget, app or shortcut that I have on home screen. I always need to put them back again. Is this normal? Or do I have to do some tweaks for this?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] khairikun:
I had tried this rom, pretty nice thank you. Everything is working well except when i used camera twice, the system cannot find the sd card? even using different app, any solution?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] PH600:
More...

I cannot connect polaris to my laptop running Win 7 64bits. I already installed usb drivers for android, but everytime I plug the usb cable to the phone, on the phone says usb connected, ask me is I want to turn usb storage on, I say Yes, but nothing appends. I already turn on anf off USB debbuging and still the same.

When debugging is on, sd cards gets unmounted, but then after take off usb cable, it gets mounted, I see him on Astro, but on camera says No sd Card

Please help me.

Thanks

I've installed this on the old Polaris of my wife yesterday, and it's near perfect !

I had problems to install, because install-seq.sh was corrupt, I had to create a new one with Atools.

Everything working great, except Angry Birds closes at the beginning, and battery charge is always 100%.

Big thanks to l1q1d and arzakem.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] levaimiklos:

Stable, fast, nice. Recommended!

works fine on my xda orbit2. but is there an easy way to get a german (or eu) version of the same androidinstall.tar
[Touch Cruise Android Development] thivi:
You can install "More Locale 2" from the Market (it's free) and then choose your language...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vasyusya:
Hi,

I already have working NotSoSuper Froyo on my Polaris with 2.6.25 kernel and scripts created by atools.

However, as many others here, I would like to try somethign else.

I have installed some apps and configured desktop, so I would like to do as little changes in my system as possible.

Is it sufficient to get only the third file from the list, replace the existing androidinstall.tgz and run install process as usual (i.e. enter the menu, select 'install' etc.)?

Will I need to reinstall all my apps, or just to restore data from backup?

Regards,

Vasyl
[Touch Cruise Android Development] arzakem:
You are right. You can only replace the androidinstall.tar. But to be able to save your current appsn you have to do this first:

Go to Bootloader Mode then choose "Backup Data" among the choices. It could require around 300Mb of your Sdcard for the installed apps to be backed-up in a file named "DATAIMG.BIN" in the same andboot folder.

After that replace your androidinstall file with mine and go back to the bootloader mode. This time choose "Install Android". After the install finishes it will go back to the choices upon which you choose "Restore Data". Then your installed apps will be reinstalled from your backup file. But this time you have the newer rombuild.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vasyusya:
Thank you. I already have data backup. Will try your new image

Internet 3G connection doesn't work,only by wifi

Hello,

I just installed this ROM, everyhting works correctly wifi, camera, icoyote.....but i can connect to internet only by wifi and not by the 3G connection. Please,could you help? Does anyone have that problem.

Thanks for your answers
[Touch Cruise Android Development] arzakem:
hi. thnx for trying. I really have no way trying with 3g coz i have a steady wifi at home and in our place 3g isn't around. Anyway, try running the preinstalled app called APNDroid and turn on 3G/Edge/GPRS connection with it. Hope it works.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] syl202gas:
It's OK. 3G works correctly. The problem was just the setting by default which was Virgin when I needed Orange. Thx a lot
[Touch Cruise Android Development] istoica:
Test

Installed OK

Reboot - Not OK (forgot to rename the .sh file in the Andboot folder)

All the needs fullfilled.

Too bad that the Polaris has little space inside...

The videocam doesnt work always. If u mean the photo cam then it might be that u are using another kernel. The POLAIMG.BIN file i have linked is the one i am using and it is version 2.6.25 and photocam works with it.

ROM working on my touch find!!!! finally could change my OS to android. Thanks a lot, the problem i have is when i connect my touch find to the PC, it doesn´t recognize the driver of the htc and i don´t know what driver i have to use, so i can´t copy anything to my sd card, the rest....all the applications i have tested are working perfectly and quickly.

Thanks for your help!!!!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] sound35:
I have the same problem, appart of this i´m very happy with the change from WM to android, is fast and easy to manage.

I have a question, i use my phone as an alarm and i would like to put all nights the mobile running only this application, anyone knows a program to keep the mobile consuming the minimum of battery running only the alarm program?

Thanks for show me that there is life behind WM!!!! xDDDDDD
[Touch Cruise Android Development] sound35:
A silly question xD, Which is the "home" button on Cruise...the problem is that im on one application and if i want to go "home" i dont find the button to go directly.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] arzakem:
Few problems i hope i can help with:

*CustomRUU error - just run again and make sure all the drivers have been autoinstalled by Windows. Also make sure USB and not SERIAL appears on screen. The first time you connect to pc, Windows would look for modem and other HTC drivers for the installation to start. If you have used Activesync previously, that problem wont be there i think. And once the installation started, it would be better not to do anything at all that might interfere with the process, anyway the installation is fast.

*USB connection doesnt always work 99% so it would be better to use the preinstalled app called SwiFTP. This is the best method to access your sdcard files through your WIndows Explorer. Get the instructions to use Swiftp here http://code.google.com/p/swiftp/wiki/UserInstructions

*Installed apps disappear/contacts disappear.

I would really prefer you copy your contacts to your Google Contacts online. That way, everytime your contacts disappear, its just one sync away. For Facebook contacts i do copy them all to my Android thru "Contapps". It is available on the market. Then once all FB contacts are on my phone, then i sync with my Google contacts. I believe this bug arises everytime i drain my battery to 0%. Avoid draining it to 0% and perhaps this bug could be avoided.

*Home screen refers to the lower left button. Accessing the home screen sometimes lags especially when using animated homescreens. Though the preinstalled homescreen is Go launcher i would prefer the newest Zeam Launcher from the market. It is fast, lags less and quick to access.

*for some installations that might not work perfectly like cameras not working i would suggest reinstalling again. Perhaps start with a newly formatted SDCard. Some apps tend to lock the SDCard sometimes and u cant install nor copy files on it.

Lastly, some suggestions would be to search the market for quick solutions always. Ive been using this setup quite a long time already and i had but one reinstall, and that was when i had to reformat Windows Mobile back for the video recording i need for a school project. The next day, i struggled with Windows Mobile so i reflashed Android and im contented again. Another suggestion would be not to install apps that are too large or that "install to SDCard" coz it would always unmount your sdcard and you have to reset again. Dont try Root apps also. For live wallpapers if you need it, try googling for "live wallpaper.apk" and install it from sdcard. I dont really guarantee every live wallpaper would work though. Thanks for keeping this thread upped.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] demek:

This ROM is working really fast and stable.. The installation was pretty easy and simple. In two words everything is perfect except one..

I can't use the SD card for nothing than storage applications from PC to my Polaris. Is there any way to move installed apps into the SD? Also some apps needs to storage settings into it but it dosen't happens because it says "Media not mounted"..

Thank you in advance for your time :)

All works well except the sound. I have to restart the phone after every call to make it working.

Any suggestion?

tryin, but white screen on xda orbit 2 [pola100]

change panel type with atools, but nothing ! just see white screen after reboot

when put panel type on "auto" , see black screen !

can ya help ?!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vasyusya:
If you repaired your phone and replaced the screen, the solution most likely does not exists.

If you have native screen, one of the three types or auto should work.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Phreakie:
Thank you. It works fine on my Polaris. Quite stable. But i have a serious problem with it. Whenever i try to connect phone to pc, my phone restarts.

I have just several small question before trying this Android ROM : is the speed of this ROM much faster than original WM6 ROM? and does it's contact support unicode?

pls tell me ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] irarkh:
Well, it seems there's no real support on this case. Just questions. However, I's not motivated enough to migrate to Android by this poor support but I gave it a try. As result, no achievement! First, the installation went on Android install menu. Next, after pressing Install system and proceeding format it told 'SD\andboot\androidinstall.tar' is not recognized! Then I formatted SD and copied the files again. Finally, I did the entire installation again with sticking on 'holding volume up' with no more action.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] nightfear:
I tested your ROM among others and I can say that is Very-Very fast and stable. Even the Led power is working fine during charging. The only bad thing that I faced to almost all the Roms is the BAttery Drain. Its finishing Very quickly. I' can't figure out. Any ideas ?

After a few days of testing:

I can´t say that it is slow (i also use the Radio 1.59.42.15), but i have big troubles in 2 points:

- When the phone is a few hours in standby and then a call is coming in, the phone rings but the screen stays black. Then i also can not answer the call by pressing the hardware-buttons. The phone freeze and a reset is necessary.

- After a restart all my desktop-widgets are away.

@ all the other users:

What radio do you use? Do you also have trouble with deep-sleep?

Thx, Nem.

Up to now i can not say much about battery-live. For me battery-live is ok. Recharge only after a few days (most time in standby, only a few calls, about 14 h in flightmode every day)

I had to temporarily return to this phone since I sold my HD2 and before I buy the galaxy nexus, I have to stick with my old polaris toy.

I have installed this rom, which is fine, except few issues that i can get over with, however I was wondering if someone has already managed doing the following:

* upgrading android market app (can't update it or remove it)

* installing setcpu app (can't detect necessary parameters, therefore doesn't run)

* making skype work (the quality of sound is terrible)

* changing splash screen (hate to see the system log messages during boot)

* removing gtalk and swiftp app
