the problem is that "newer" versions (the ones that come with a androidinstall.tar don't even get pass the scrambled screen, older versions (the ones that came uncompressed) started but withouth touch support and nothing worked.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to NIABI - first things first

dear niabi

first you need to do a HARDSPL for your phone. for this you can check this link for HARDSPL.ZIP file.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296722

follow the instructions on the page.

please note: if currently your phone is not even booting to android or wm screen, then you will have to copy the files directly to SD card and rename RUU_SIGNED.NBH TO POLAIMG.NBH and then do a hard reset.

when you do a hard reset, the bios only reads POLAIMG.NBH file.

it will at least get you back to android OS.

then try the default.txt that i have mentioned as i know this one is exclusively for HTC Polaris. if you have any others that are working for you, go ahead with those then.

to MYN - a problem with installing your android bundles

HI.

I have so far downloaded the following donuts:

20-2-2010-240x320-110

20-2-2010-320x480-160

16-3-2010-240x320-110

unfortunately, in all these cases, the following did not work:

weather on home screen does not show.

wifi - do i have to set up APN settings of my service provider ???

gprs / data connectivity - sometimes it works when i install, but stops after some time.

i prefer to have a permanent android and therefore, the sqsh method is no use for me. i may add that even by sqsh, these things have not worked.

your suggestion will be highly aprpeciated.

thanks in advance

o2-lover
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
thanks for the reply, but.... not my case, I've been using cooked roms for about 2 years or so, so my phone has had hardspl for a loooonnnngggg time, I am not a newbie installing roms, and I have even cooked a few for my own use (nothing for release :P )

don't see why that has anything to do with whats happening to my particular case with haret or the android nbh's but thanks for the reply and most certainly thanks for the help :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to niabi - basics man

dear niabi

with all respect to the time you have spent, certainly far more than me, i have learnt in computer programming and hardware that sometimes you have to go back to the basics and try them again.

if it doesnt hurt your phone to try the hard spl or hard reset again - and you have already tried the other things - why not give it a try? what do you have to lose other than another try?

best of luck to you.

regards

[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:
No disrespect taken, and also with all due respect I know what you mean, but like I said before, i have tried EVERYTHING I can think of, hard reset, installing stock WM 6, WM 6.1, WM 6.5 original an cooked roms, installed lates hardspl, flashed several nbh's (for nand android) tried with several android builds, they all do the same thing scrambled screen :( SO my only conclusion is that my LCD is the problem, its not sony, nor topoly (all I've read points that those are the ones really supported for polaris?) mine is Hitachi :(

so again, thanks for the help :)

[Touch Cruise Android Development] GriloVirante:
OK, friends, here my proposal... why don't we revert the responsibility of the prove as Perry Mason did in tribunals some time? Let's do the following: you post here your startup.txt (or default.txt), and I try to use yours. If it does not work, we are one step ahead, because we just need to resolve it within the startup.txt. If it works.. then you're right and we need to seek our issue somewhere else. I cannot promise a service level agreement (I've a job too), but be confindent that if you post your default.txt today, in a couple of days I'll let you know how it went. OK?

for me this rom is a good one, as i told myn before, but the main issue (a regression in fact) is battery life in every condition

no more than 24 hours VS 5 days on WM

maybe i need a tip :D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] criosray:
Spent quite a few hours yesterday trying to make wifi work... Finally managed to do it this way (norootfs, haret):

In the menu select Install with full data wipe, then fix permissions, then update and fix permissions once again... and here is a key part of the story - if at this point I tried to do Quit the Android would go into infinite loading loop, so instead I just soft reset my Polaris and then booted normally and finally wifi is working for me!

I've installed on myn-WarmDonut-03-16-2010-240x320-110 SD-Card (in .img-files) on my Pola200.

After reboot wifi won't start for me anymore... :\

Tried to update to latest zImage (31.03.2010) but still same...

dmesg says following:

I presume that

means that I have outdated wlan for the kernel that I use?..

Gonna try older zImage`s and will report the results here...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] criosray:
Ok, downgraded to original zImage (20.02.2010) from rls4 myns warm donut. For 9 out of 10 tries it won't even boot from haret.exe.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] GriloVirante:
aka, we have the same hardware and radio.. and you mention issues with Bluetooth on Myn release 4.. what about phone? I've just made a fresh update and don't have any audio on the outgoing call and no trace of incoming calls (no rings at all, although from the calling phone ringtone is heard). The most recent release by Myn I could use was release 3. Did you you really manage to have 4 working?

Thanks for your comments/reply.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] akaFassbier:
Incoming calls were working now two times. Outgoing works well for at least one call now. Seems to work at all. The only issue is by now BT which I need for my car kit.

hi. did you really switch back to win6.5 last month?

well, i did the same last month and for some days even stopped coming back here. WHILE ALL THE DEVELOPERS MUST BE CONGRATULATED FOR THEIR EFFORTS, for some reason i have been unable to get any android rom working on my O2 Orbit set properly.

i have tried NAND and SQSH both. in case of SQSH, at least data connection was working, wifi was not, but in case of NAND, nothing worked. THE PROBLEM WITH SQSH is that after rebooting, it goes back to Windows.

I'm using the Release 5 boothing with HaRET and with the modified zImage / update metioned before.

It's working pretty fine, but it also has the well-known problems like wifi hanging when toggling off (later it's unable to start). The same happens with bluetooth.

I wonder that the audio input fails as well (recording, Shazam and other programs).

I've seen that DZO is back! Somebody to notify him about our claims? I wrote to him in the recent times and he's gonna be feed up with my messages :P

____________________________________________________

Hey chavales! he usado la Release 5 con el HaRET y el archivo zImage con las actualizaciones de las que se habla en este hilo.

Funciona bastante bien, pero también tiene los mismos fallos que ya conocíamos de antes. La wifi se bloquea de vez en cuando al desactivarla y con el bluetooth pasa igual.

No he probado si la entrada de audio también falla (los programas de grabar audio y el Shazam, por ejemplo).

¡He visto que DZO ha vuelto! ¿Alguien podría escribirle para pedirle que nos echara una mano? Es que yo ya le escribí varias veces y se va a cansar de mí :P

Yes, it's true that they work, but sometimes, when you want to turn them off, they remain in the "Deactivating" state. Regarding GPS, this morning I was using Sygic Drive for Android and it was running OK, but suddenly, it lost the signal and never recovered again, although I was in a wide open place! In addition to this, audio input seems to break when you use it for the first time. It will eventually fail and when this happens, even the audio output is affected, producing strange crispy sounds.
