I am wondering if the problem is due to one of the other files (zimage/rootfs/initrd) included with that package rather than the Warm Donut sqsh. Will check later using a combination that I know works along with that sqsh.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
I install myn-WarmDonut-02-04-2010-SQSH build and WiFi not work.

It start only after i replace rootfs.img to older (20091116) version.

Wifi start and connect to WPA-secured network, but work unstable.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Alex-V:
and this work also with nand...??
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mariosm1cy:
I dont get what's the excitement about:confused:

With no wifi and no gps my pocketpc is useless:(

I first moved from classic phones to the cruise for wifi and gps 2 years ago.

I'll be excited when all the features work fine. Until then I'll probably get another phone.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
No, this always not work even "nomorootfs".

So I did not even bother to test Nand.

E.g, what will I do without the WM if he would crash?

I will try run "nomorootfs" method, its faster and allow install updates.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok...Thanks for Info :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I might sound a bit repetitive, but, has anyone got Android working on Polaris with the newest kernels and the NoMoreRootfs method?

I tried lots of combinations and all I got was the Myn's build, but with no Wifi and no data connection :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
I think, there is simple answer:

This method is good, fast and etc...

But autoconfiguration remove in this, because we have more ussues.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
the same here, we have to wait better kernel for polaris100 but the fact is that nomorootfs is very attractive :eek:

i add that with my pola100 and nomorootfs i can't use 02042010 kernel, 02022010 work fine (you have to use power button)

i'm repetitive too but i have various issues with all kernel after 01062010 (battery, wifi, gps etc) , even before nomorootfs method

dzo and vilord's team seems to work on it, hope they'll dont forget pola100

remark 2 : kaiser, vogue and even pola200 seems to have better compatibility with last kernel, regarding forum threads
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
i am with nomorerootfs and Donut AOSP Eclair v252
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Haru13:
For no NoMoroots is working (i have a Pola100)...you said 02022010 is working?...even with using power button it didn't work...

But with SQSH method it started fine...but i'm unable to use 3G, wifi...but camera works! ^^..Do you how to configure in order to have 3G and use the market, ang maps?

Do you know how to edit .tar, or all SQSH associated files?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
it works of me with power button pressed , but this method has something odd, you have to press at the right moment...

WiFi fix for NAND?

I am still booting via Haret and have not tried this, but timmey posted an update tar here that he says fixes wifi on Polaris when using NAND. Has anyone tried this?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Alex-V:
thanks will try... :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:
i decided to give a try to nand method

all seems to work fine but i can't install data to sd card : it says "umount can't access /data : invalid argument" or something like that

i'm using 07022010 basefiles from vilord

hopefully, it works with both system and data on nand :cool:

did someone have the same issue ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] micuzzo77:
it's "funny" to see exhited people that can use their polaris with android at just 25/30% of p3650 potential.

I really appreciate all the hard work that people do to make our device always up to date with latest build of wm or in this case android. but i can not understand y i should flash a rom when wifi, gps and bt does not work. should you try a wm rom with those feature disabled?

i think not.

one last thing: for me this topic is NOT USELESS. because i'm sure that andorid will rules and thanx to people like DZO, SuperJMN, Mvanderas, fusione, etc... (sorry if i forgot someone) we can enjoy this os on our device

cheers
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Alex-V:
from this point...you are right....no one flash a wm rom without wifi and so on....so i prefer the haret method (only on sd card...after a soft reset wm)

with this build

[Touch Cruise Android Development] chourmovs:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
Well... I do have it installed on NAND.. trying to get wifi working :)

tried

made a calibration file with a working wifi android version

and tried the update but no wifi

do I have to do something else?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] micuzzo77:
I've paid my polaris 629€. do you think that is the right price for a device that has just to make phone calls?

anyway, i hope we can enjoy full working android on our polaris soon (very soon)

cheers

ps. please explain me what i can not understand ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mylostnick:
Sorry guys... but I really don't understand these kind of comments...

They sounds like no respect for people who works spending their free time to get software working on a device not engineered for it.

Only few months ago to use the Android OS on non-Android device was unthinkable and now (thanks to these great minds) we can flash it on Vogue, Polaris, Kaiser and soon on many others, I bet.

And there are ppls excited to be able to change the channel list on their plasma TV!!! So I think it's right to be excited on this!!!

Cheers

Install data on sdcard

Okay, please let somebody help!!

Installing the stuf on NAND is working. I also managed to activate the wifi. But I am still unable to install the data on the SDCARD. Why is that? I am not the only one who has this problem. What am I doing wrong? I have a 2GB SD CARD with FAT32 formatting. Do I have to use the ext2 method? Please explain?

Gerald
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
FAT32 partition must be "Primary", not "Logical".
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
How did you do it? I installed myn's Warm Donut 240x320 and it only works if I don't install androidupgrade.tar!

When I install it, it boots and when the main screen is about to appear (after the Android logo) the screen turns black and a white cursor appears like in old text-based applications.

I followed the step guide by luzbel.

Flashed the correct .nbh (240x320 11-Feb-2010)

Downloaded this build: http://www.mediafire.com/?kjzoyljzwro (myn-WarmDonut-02-02-2010-240x320-110.zip).

Used the Android Install Utility and selected NAND for both system and data.

After it was installed, I chose to install an upgrade (I applied the one that luzbel modified in step 3 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2AR0MYVP)

I selected quit and let it start.

Then it stopped with the black screen.

I have my own calibration file in the root of the SD card (I generated it a few hours ago).

What should I do?

EDIT: I finally made it work! I used the androidupdate.tar that luzbel modified. Applied with the installer and rebooted. Wifi didn't work yet, so I started the "better terminal" and followed the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5565735&postcount=173. When I enabled Wifi, it started smoothly! I think that luzbel's update is not working due to a subtle error, maybe permissions, because every file was in its place and sysinit.rc and build.prop had the required changes.

I hope somebody could test it and give us the results.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] QAN:
Use SDCard

I have formated the sdcard again. It is now a primary partition which is formated as FAT32, and still I cannot use it. It says it cannot unmount /data: invalid argument.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] QAN:
@SuperJMN When the cursor is blinking top left just reset the device and boot again. The second time it will start.

The wifi will not start so you have to go in te terminal window and enter:

su

mount /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system -o rw,remount

cd /etc/wifi

chmod 755 ./loadit

chmod 755 ./wlan_loader

cp /etc/wifi/wlan.ko /system/lib/modules

chmod 0777 /data

chmod 0777 /data/misc

chmod 0777 /data/misc/wifi

chmod 0777 /data/misc/wifi/sockets

cp /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi

chmod 666 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Somehow the properties of the update file are not correct! After this wifi works fine!

It's correct, I have als put my callibration file in the root of the sdcard. I did this also for GPS.

Gerald
[Touch Cruise Android Development] QAN:
SDCARD

@SuperJMN do you know why I cannot install the data on the sdcard.

SDCARD:

2Gb

Primary partition

FAT32

It looks like it wants the sdcard to unmount but that is not possible because the install file is on it. It gives an error tha the unmount is unsuccesfull and stops.

I tried the ext2 partition and that works very well. I do not like it because I cannot get to it from windows.

Gerald
[Touch Cruise Android Development] slaming:
anyone have this working on a blackstone/touch hd if so pm me with detail how to.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
QAN, if you have problems with your FAT32 partition, not being visible to Windows, try to move it to the beginning. I mean, put this partition to be the first of them. With most of partitioning applications this is putting it to the left. Paragon Partition Manager is really good to deal with them (and it's even capable of mounting ext2 partitions to driver letters :))

Did you solve it? Well, I have seen that you actually did it, not sure if you managed to do it exactly as you want. Maybe you wanted to do like me: I wanted the system files in one ext2 partition and the user data into another, but I don't know if it's yet possible.

Regards!

EDIT: I modified the first post give some aid to those that want wifi working. Until now, there's no better way than the one presented by @luzbel_es. I also updated the Android Installer launcher button (now it's Volume-Up again! what a mess :P).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] RgR:

Pin code on start up after Nand Flash

Hy,

It looks like that WM is on its way out of my phone. I have a question for those who successfully installed Android on Nand. When you start Android, does it request PIN code ? Does Android recognize the PIN code of your SIM ?

Note : Any Android build I use from SD needs PIN code disabled from WM before booting via Haret.

Hi! The exact filename of the file I flashed is polaimg-panel1-320-11-02-10.nbh. It works for me with Volume-Up.

It's really strange that I didn't work for you!

Well, I think it's necessary to disable the PIN code before flashing in order to use the SIM card. I would do it if I were you.

where i can find android to Put in my device cruise .:confused:

THANKS
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
First, you must know that Android can be booted in several ways. You've got some packages to boot into it. The easy way is to download this one: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zno3eyxdnxm/EclairThemeMyn.rar.

Extract its contents to the root of your device and execute haret.exe. Press the "Run" button and Android will start (the first time it will be slow as hell, but don't worry). This method needs Windows Mobile to boot and it's the best way to start. Wifi is working, too.

You also should know that this thread is for a specific boot method. There are a lot of other threads that you could read before trying to flash your device. Try the package I recommended and tell me via private message, OK?

2. Backup! than, clear whatever "android" stuff you have from sdcard (I dont want it to get caught up in the install) especially your android folder

3. Extract contents of downloaded zip to temporary directory"

Download the 240x320 (depending on your screen resolution)

then download the "01-29-2010 NoMoRootFs Basefiles"...and follow the readme file....It should work....

Support for Chinese (Traditional) Text input

Hi,

I played with a version of Android (2.0.1) by running Haret off a 1gb SD card on my girlfriend's polaris yesterday. All went well until the microphone seemed to go dead.

I rebooted, checked in WinMo and all was fine. Our curiosity for Android was to really see if there was support for Chinese as my girlfriend sends sms back to her family in Taiwan. There was only the option of English as a Locale, so I though to try the Marketplace but the only app on offer needs an actual keypad, not virtual.

I then decided to play with a version of android on my Blackstone and had a less functional experience but did get an option of a Chinese Locale at first setup.

Could anyone tell me if this NAND ROM for polaris has a Chinese Locale? It would look something like this 中國傳統 but the first two character means chinese.

Finally, if that's not an option would anyone have an idea why now the camera and end call (lock) function would have stopped in WinMo, it's like the hardware has been disabled somehow.:confused:

Many thanks!

[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
GREAT luzbel! I'm going to update the first post to link to this message. It will help a lot of people, for sure.

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
You must know that there's not such NAND package.

With NAND boot you do only replace the loader to start your Android build instead of Windows Mobile. So, on one hand, you've got the loader, and on the other hand you've got your build.

It's like the different methods to boot your computer: you could do it from a CD/DVD, from USB, using a floppy disk or via ethernet, but the OS is the same whichever the method you use.

To boot from NAND you've got to flash your device first in order to install your favorite build. It's an inseparable process.

If you have some question or I haven't explained myself well, please, write back.
