Sorry about posting in various threads but I think it may have a general interest..

I´m currently running android on NAND with:

-Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 4 - 03/16/2010]

-NBH marginz & vilord's latests version : 2010-02-20

this NBH gives me working wifi ...no BT

latest DZO NBH is polaimg-panel1-320-08-04-10.nbh (no wifi)

[Touch Cruise Android Development] nemiers:
Ive been playing around with different android versions, but none seems fast enough and bug free.

All I tried were sd installs.

I would like to try nand flash, but cant figure which version is worth to flash.

Could someone please advise which version is fast and stable with no audio bugs for daily use?

Things that are important:

Calls,

Messages,

GPS,

Wifi could be good but not mandatory, is there an internet connection from pc, like windows mobile has?

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
I would go then for Myn’s Warm Donut with latest dzo nbh... no wifi though
[Touch Cruise Android Development] nemiers:
Thanks!

I tried Donut and latest dzo nbh, but with latest nbh phone didnt go to linux load, just stuck in smart mobility logo, took older nbh and yes it worked, but there`s this audio problem, so went back to WM :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] polum:
Some issues

I ´ve tried last zimage (April, 26) with same problems (Pola 200)

No Wifi, no Bluetooth
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
The zImage file is to be used with the HaRET method, not for booting from NAND :P Anyways, it wasn't surprising: the latest kernel/s worked because some user (I think it was paipo) modified it. Thanks for your testing, though! :)

___________________________________________

El zImage is para usarlo con HaRET, no para arrancar desde la NAND. De todas maneras era de esperar que no funcionara: lo anteriores lo hicieron porque algún usuario (creo que fue paipo) modificó el kernel. No obstante, gracias por tus tests :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] raist1976:
I tried the newest NBHs when the new myn's warm donut was released and I got NO SOUND at all when calling.

Supposably, dzo fixed the audio for polaris ??? I guess the fix is not for pola100 :(

The newest nbh with working sound on calling (people can hear me and i can hear them) is with nbh of february 20 on sourceforge... http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/polaris/

In other words, seems that something's wrong with dzo nbh's ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] raist1976:
As for me I'm living with all those annoyances because I'm pretty close to get either a desire or a n1 ...

but I confirm that from time to time the android will mess itself until you don't have any other choice than wiping data, data connection goes down and doesn't reconnect itself automatically (only way to do it is using manually the modem application), and .. about wifi/gps/bluetooth I don't even try to mess with that :p
[Touch Cruise Android Development] larstnt:
Seems that the android proyect on polaris is falling down :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
No, we are too many as to let this wonderful device fall down. I have seen a HTC Tattoo and it's very similar to our Polaris. Our hardware can handle Android really good. The only problem is that we don't have a developer that dedicates much time to adapt it. I've seen my Polaris running FAST with Android. I hope somebody knows a qualified developer to get into this.

Fame and fortune is waiting for that person! :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] breathtakingevil:
Quick question.. how do you get updates for example on Myn's Donut installed? Can someone direct me to step-by-step?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Updates? Are you talking about the Market updates or the updates that are installed Android system at boot time?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
Myn's Donut RL5 latest - finally works

Hi Superjmn and others

just want to tell you that i have finally managed to get the Android to work nicely and fast. finally GPRS is working well.

now existing problems:

- still unable to start WIFI - does this have anything to do with APN settings ?

- Car Home app starts but crashes every time i click on anything inside.

- there are no google maps yet available for google android. at least i have found other apps, including google earth, available, but not google maps.

- i cannot sync with the PC using USB. but i can sync with Google contacts using GPRS. but syncing contacts always gives one problem - i get the names in reverse format, last name first name. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ?? had this even when using WM6.5.

best regards

[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Hi, o2-lover! Sorry for not answering yet. I've been very busy these days.

Are you booting from NAND? If so, try to use the .nbh dated 10-2-2010. I think this one allows wifi to start.

The USB sync is not working, I think. At least, it didn't work well for me: no USB mass storage mode. It's not stable (sometimes it reconnected without warning).

I'm constantly peeking at this website to see the changes, but there aren't any new releases for our Polaris :(

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-vogue

It's only for Vogue.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I have updated the first post to have the latest changes. I think it's clearer now and more organized.

By the way, I only kept the link to Myn's Warm Donut since it's a really good build to have a fully functional Android install and Myn has proven that it's actively supporting Polaris with each build. Thanks, Myn!

(how to apply androidupdate.tar after installed system)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meet.rajiv15:
i was trying to flash android by the nand method, i face two problems:

1)ROMUpdateUtility_task29:-

whenever i try to use this utility i get this error:

ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN

The update utility can not open the requested file. Please check your Update Utility.

2)i didn't understand the meaning of this:

"Flash the .nbh file you downloaded with your prefered tool (I used CustomRUU.exe for Windows)."

i download all the application you listed in the method.

plz help me out.....

currently i am using original wm6.1
[Touch Cruise Android Development] despou:
Hi,

You need a dummy .nbh file to perform task29. You can use radio nbh for example.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to meet-rajiv - flashing nand android

dear rajiv

you have to rename ROMUPDATE file to ROMUPDATEUTILITY.exe

as for flashing the .nbh file, simply go to the bootloader, that is the install menu on your set. i suppose you know how to get to that.

if you have the andboot folder ready on your SD card, simply choose INSTALL on the INSTALL option in the bootloader screen.

after that is finished, FIX Permission, clear cache.

then reset your phone.

hope this works.

after going to bootloader screen nothing happen,i have to just reset my device an then i cum back to wm6.1...

to meet-rajiv - flashing nand android

dear rajiv

i suggest you to follow this web site:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625200

follow it completely.

or

you can try this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619980

from this choose the resolution you need and download that zip file. extract the nbh file and androidinstall.tar file from that. rename nbh file to polaimg.nbh.

save this to your SD card. and save androidinstall.tar file in andboot folder on your SD card.

shut down your phone, then press POWER button, camera button together, and press the soft reset once. release the reset button but keep camera button pressed till you see the mutli-coloured screen.

the screen should then give a message about updating. (sorry i do not remember the exact message). i believe it will ask you to press the POWER button to start updating. do it.

once it completes, you have to again soft reset, then wait. takes time. hopefully you will have your android installed successfully.

hope this helps.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] meet.rajiv15:
i am using these files:

1) polaimg-panel3-320-07-05-10.nbh

2) ROMUpdateUtility_task29(renamed as u told me)

3) myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-240x320-110
[Touch Cruise Android Development] despou:
Did you put any .nbh file to the same directory where ROMUpdateUtility_task29.exe?

ROMUpdateUtility_task29 will completely clean your phone (not SD card)

Then you have to enter bootloader and flash polaimg-panel3-320-07-05-10.nbh

After that reset your phone, if in SD card andboot folder and androidinstall.tar in it will be found, installtion of Android OS will be performed.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
i installed the rom and the update, as said in first post. but i've two big problems:

_WiFi doesn't starts

_when the screen is turned off, i can't receive incoming calls

someone can help me?:)

is it right to install the wifi update on RLS5? (as i did)

edit: re-installing the system without updates, incoming calls work. updating again doesn't. (WiFi desn't work in each case)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
The wifi update from l1q1d is the one for rls5 did you fix permisions after update?

Some people have reported wifi not scanning if dpi is not set at 120.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
yes, i fixed permissions.

i tried to change to 120dpi, but i have the same problems....no incoming calls with black screen and when i turn off wifi, after 10 seconds, it says that it's not possible to activate it.

edit: doesn't depend on the screen if it is on or off, but on something else: when is on the red left led, i can receive incoming calls. i don't know on what depends...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
Haven't had the problem with the black screen i use 1.59.44.02 radio,with the wifi turn it on then open a shell "better terminal" then type dmesg see whats stopping your wifi from loading.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

it is quite all right to use the wifi update on Myn's RL5. i have done the same. please remember one thing: when you install the update, do not QUIT after that, but simply SOFT RESET your phone. it will work fine. QUIT takes it into a stuck mode after the ANDROID screen.

to despou and others - phone wipe out

guys, if your phone gets wiped out as despou has pointed out above, i have explained the way to get your phone back to WM mode at least. at that time i was using that only. so i am not aware of the possibility of installing and booting the phone directly from the SD card for android.

you can find my post in the other thread - MYN's ANDRDOID ROM.

sorry for any wrong information i may have posted here so far. just trying to help in return for the tremendous help and benefit i have received from the expert programmers and everyone's feedback.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
i tryed to installa your radio, but is the same. i did the operation in better terminal, but i didn't understand what to do after typing (and see the green list):p

@o2

yes, i did softreset, not quit
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

what i have and what i did:

i have an O2 XDA ORBIT 2 with pola200. if you have this or HTC Polaris with pola200, best is to choose polaimg-panel3-320.nbh file.

i downloaded Myn's RL5 release dated 24-4-10.

i simply rebooted my phone, pressed the D-pad button, went to install screen and first installed android on my phone (i chose clear data), fixed permissions, cleared darvik cache, then QUIT.

after the phone restarted, i first skipped to the homescreen, then did soft reset again, went into bootloader install menu. did INSTALL UPDATE, then soft reset again.

my wifi started working. PLEASE NOTE YOU MOST PROBABLY HAVE TO SET UP APN also as per your service provider.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
i have a pola100 and i used "myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-240x320" and "polaimg-panel1-320-07-05-10.nbh".

i tryed to do what you suggest, but no results:confused:

after quitting i have an error message like "can't access tty". and when i install updates says that "block 5xx is bad" and "error: no local ept for prog 02000031" with some blocks...

i don't use APN, cause i pay for 3g navigation:p

should i try to install official 6.1 rom and android again?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
i did it...but no results

i noticed that if the incoming call is longer that 15-20 sec, i can receive it...if not, i cant
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

dear loscas

since you have pola100, i suggest you search this thread and Myns thread for pola100 and see which polaimg file most have used. as i remember, you should be using polaimg dated 20-2-10.

as for the messages: can't access tty, and 'block 5xx is bad', both these messages are harmless. i got them too and waited for 10 minutes at least. could be more also. REMEMBER, FIRST TIME IS ALWAYS VERY LONG.

this third message i am not familiar with.

as APN, try to set up an APN and check wifi then. if i dont use APN, my gprs works, but wifi does not turn on. NO HARM IN USING APN, at least for the sake of testing for wifi.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

then your data is all messed up. i think you first need to run hardspl on your phone. then try to install android on it.

use polaimg dated 20-2-10, not 16-3-10. and Myn's RL5. and follow the steps explained by SuperJMN.

best of luck.

o2-lover
[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
ok, i'll try...

but i can't find in this link the nbh you said http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D

edit: i've tryed to do hardspl+ROMUU task29+polaimg-panel1-320-07-05-10 and always the same...maybe it's not time to android for my polaris...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

well, the nbh file that i have used is polaimg-panel3-320.nbh. i just tried to upload it, but have been unable to. alongwith this file, i used androidinstall.tar file in the andboot folder on the SD card.

i renamed this file to polaimg.nbh . it installs easily after that.

the rest of the files, if any, get installed automatically. dont worry about them.

if i can find the uplink of this file again, i will definitely send it to you. in the meantime, dont lose hope on android.

now, my last request to you: if you can, list the steps you took to convert from WM to android. i or some expert will do our best to guide you from scratch.

it took me 2 months to get the android installed properly.

o2-lover
[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
ok tnx

my steps:

_install official rom (RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship)

_install Hard-SPL-V2

_install ROMUpdateUtility_task29

_install polaimg-panel1-320-07-05-10 by customRUU, with the files androidinstall.tar and androidupdate.tar in the sd card (in a folder called andboot)

_in the installation menu i choosed install, fix, clear cache, quit and the system starst

_soft reset, in the menu i choose update, when i'm back in menu, i did a soft reset

that should be all..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

after installing android and before installing update, have you tried to check if the android is working properly.

dude first you have to make sure your android is working properly. that means, when you make a call, you can hear the ringing tone and you can hear the other person also and he can hear you too.

after checking some of the other things also, for example gprs connection (wifi may not work but gprs internet should work), then you can go to the next step of installing any update.

o2-lover
[Touch Cruise Android Development] loscassapalle:
yes, this was only the last try:p

incoming calls doesn't work also without updates, but 3g connection works fine...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to loscassapalle - wifi does work

i believe you have the wrong polaimg file. you need to try a different one.

try any polaimg-panel1 nbh file released in feb 2010. from what i have read and remember, those are the better ones.

TO THE EXPERTS HERE, COULD YOU GUYS HELP HERE. i dont think i can help rajiv here alone.

i get a blck screen .. doesnt finish the boot (nand)

back to donut
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ahhl:
initially ithought i want to try android thru dual boot, however unsucessful as having problem with partioning the sdcard (tried with many, gparted, paragon etc..)..giving up. even windows xp and linux does not recognise the sdcard partition. tried fdisk and cdiskas well in linux too. and still unsucessful

than thought maybe i should try NAND method. following steps on first stage, than tried flashing rom thru sdcard but both method give me blank screen after it boot from rom flashing.(i've clean-up rom using task29) wrong nbh file maybe?. tried both nbh dated 7/5/10 and 18/5/10. still uncessfull..

Edit

manage to run now..its booting..the problem with blank screen is the polaimg file. i use polaimg_panel1320.nbh dated 19/5/10

running with andorid...cute

if only i can run dual boot...how nice it is....... anyone have solution to partition sdcard
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
App saving.

I am now running Nym's Donut, installed on NAND data on SD. I am thinking of formating the SD differently (larger FAT smaller ext2). But I'd like to save the apps I downloaded from the market. I used to simply copy the app.apk from /system/app/ to a save folder on the SD, but I now have a handfull of apps that don't show in in /system/app. 8°

Plus I'd like to make an update.tar conatining my favorite apps. Do I just have to create a .tar archive with the correct folder path or are there other steps (chown or other commands to place) ? Is there a HowTo create an update.tar correctly ?

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
I'm in the same configuration with 3 gig fat32 and 2 500Mo ext2 primary partition

Installation work but myn's donut is slower than with both nand method and some app's are crashing very often (market and whether forecast most of time)

Can you confirm or infirm? i'm not sure of my sd card

I use Gregory house's Appsaver from the market in combination with appinstaller from the same author, it does the job (if i understand well)

Create an update tar (or why not a personnal androidinstall) must be a nice way to do this, i'll follow this topic
[Touch Cruise Android Development] ZeGuido:
Get some crash sometime from some apps, but most of the time I just hit the keep waiting button and it's ok. I try many apps, so my phone memory is a bit small.

I'll give it a look. Thanks for the advise

In fact, I did add some app.apk in the /system/app/ folder of an androidinstall.tar. It worked, but I am not sure it is safe, as there might be some mess up with file property, and that is the purpose of my question. I work with uBuntu or macOS10 leopard, depending on my mood.

Plus I don't understand where are those apps I downloaded that don't show up in the /system/app/ folder (I even checked with the terminal in Android). They are there though, but I don't know where.

May be is there some feature depending on the app's creator policy to prevent copying, that make then invisible even to a
