[Touch Cruise Android Development] Julien1926:
The containing folder name is "andboot".

Did you add the correct modules using atools?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] jhonniedj:
tried holding camerabutton and press resetbutton (left to mini-usb) with stylus?

tried removing battery, wait 3 secs, put back in, hold camera button, press powerbutton once.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Julien1926:
I'm sorry if I sound like a newbie to Android, but I'm trying to get the wifi working on my polaris.

I tried 2 ways :

- put androidupdate.tgz in /andboot/ and flash again.

- "compile" androidupdate.tgz with androidinstall.tgz & modules using A-tools (see attached screenshot).

What is the correct method to get the wifi working on my Touch Cruise?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
try with atools 1.0.5
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Julien1926:
Dear l1q1d,

Thanks for the update, it looks much simplier to me.

Just flashed latest kernel (Stable 2.6.25), and manually reboot.

Do I need to use the boot script editor to replace previous installation of Android?

When I reboot after flashing kernel, android quickly prompt if I want to install ("Press and Hold Volum-up or ..." to "install"). But I have no time to do anything, so it boots to previous installation.

EDIT : Finally trying to manually install Android pressing Volum-Up before prompted. I will let you know if it's ok.

EDIT² : Wifi is finally working thanks to A-tools 1.0.5. Used the boot script editor to make a fresh install. I'm running on Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 and kernel from 27th.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] louco:
some assistance !

- cant get WIfi working....

says error , i read something about a fix , how it works ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Julien1926:
To get the wifi working, use A-tools 1.0.5, and you will be able to add "modules updates" in the ROM Mix. A fix for wifi is included is this update (automatically download latest androidupdate.tgz)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] louco:
Thanks !

Thanks Julien1926 , working now !!!

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Julien1926:
l1q1d, do you have any idea why Android says "No SD card is inserted in your phone"?

Just realized this when I was trying to add some music from my laptop on my SD card...

What file system uses Android? FAT32? Do I have to format the memory card in a specific way?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
it's strange because without sd the kernel warns you on boot.

The sd must be formatted in fat 32 (first partion) because is mounted as fat32 in initrd.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Julien1926:
It's even more strange because I can see on my computer that Android created few folders & files (for example /downloads/)...

Is there anything I should do to get rid of this problem?

HELP PLZ !!

I tried to install android by NAND , and now when i power up my phone he flash hard SPL colors and turn black nothing more happens !!!

1000 tks....HELP
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
@Julien1926: try with another sd

@louco: change pannel type.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] macondo62:
Hi l1q1d, I want install system on nand and data in sd partition, how must I set BSE to create my .sh? I Got a 4 GB sd. I made myself creating 2 gb fat 32 1.5 ext2 and 500mb linux swap. but android installer don't permit me set sd partition ( gives me an error installation) only data img on ext2. finally I have cyano bare working ...but in setting I have no sd card though with file manager I can see it. It's a little fun don't you think so?:)

EDIT: in andboot now I have a data.img, but didn't it had to be in ext2 LOL? P&L :confused:

EDIT: am I idi.. OT?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
On atools 1.6 nbheditor fstab set:

system nand p2

data sd partition p2

swap sd partition p3

on bse:

system nand

data sd

first install

on mixer remember to add modules (if needed)

then open sh file on an advanced editor and change mmcblk0p3 with mmcblk0p2

this problem will be solved in atools 1.1.1 (the 1.1.0 is now in testing in kaiser thread)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] macondo62:
EDIT: then open sh file on an advanced editor and change mmcblk0p3 with mmcblk0p2

You're always kind :) with your tips but there's something I can't grasp lol.... must I googling for advanced editor or can you address it to me ( EDIT: I'm only windows user )? Finally do I have the skill to edit a .sh?

P.S. do I leave sd partition as I wrote in post #124?

ciao e ancora grazie

hello and thank you so much
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
you need a editor that support linux end line (i.e. vim for windows)

just do find and replace, no skill needed :-)

this setup should works with the already created partitions.

Hi to all...and sorry for my bed english...i have this problem:

when i install all i arrive only at line 723. and hten at screen black but if i want tochange the nbh with tricolor screen (boot screen) i can't because when i restar the phone linux will reinstall android

How can I do now?

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
You can flash the nbh without reinstall all.

Change panel type and reflash
[Touch Cruise Android Development] oftiklaus:
Hello,

I'm writting to express my thanks for the possibility of "reinventing" my old Polaris...

Frankly it took some time to find and use the software provided; flashed on NAND and will not look back again!

For those trying and for some reason not managing to get this to work:

- read carefully

- be patient - for instance the NBH editor (ATOOLS) displayed "not responding" in windows 7 while extracting androidinstall.tgz - it took some 3 minutes!

- check the compatibility of the SD card (after trying for 3 hours to flash the device with a 2 GB card, I switched with a 8 GB and it worked on the spot!)

Again thumbs up for all the ones keeping this community alive!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KaaRaT:
Hello. I have a problem!

After installing the nbh and do reset, then appear a few lines and stops in the line: andoid_register_function usb_mass_storage.

Help me, please.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Did the install-seq start?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KaaRaT:
I think so... How do I know this?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
if you placed the install-seq.sh in /andboot the install seq start if you don't press d-pad or vol up:

" Using boot install script"
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KaaRaT:
yes, the install-seq.sh is in the /andboot. I do reset, then appears a white screen with some lines: "[numbers] - text". Then stops in the line: andoid_register_function usb_mass_storage.

I don't now how to explain better (because my english is bad).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
is it connected to usb on boot?

does the message "Using boot install script" appear on screen?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KaaRaT:
No, it is not connected.

I don't remember-me now about that. Later i will try again and fix if that message appears.

Thanks for your time.

EDIT: I can´t see the text "Using boot install script".

After reset only appears a white screen with the Linux symbol and the lines. And then stops.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] blascar:
On having restarted, always it returns to install android again. Since I can avoid this?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Did you try with all type of screens?

The install finished correctly? (if the answer is yes remove the file install-seq.sh)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KaaRaT:
Yes, i try all.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
which radio version did you flash?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] KaaRaT:
1.65.30.09
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Try to downgrade the radio to the version 1.58.xx.xx
[Touch Cruise Android Development] tunkki:
Did you got your phone charged? I have just the same issue, battery went down when I tested to install different Android-builds and now I worry that is it charging or not..

EDIT: Okay, it's still charges battery when it does that.. I gave it to be connected to the charger and now my phone starts again, so my problem is solved :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] tunkki:
FINALLY I got it working on NAND.. it was hard and took one day, but it was worth it. Now my Polaris is running Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.1, so far without problems. I had legendary "Install module for this kernel" and some other problems before. I use 4gb SDHC card, class is unknown. This is what I did, hope this helps other people.

1. I wiped all previous data with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6227425#post6227425. Read the instructions on the page!

2. Downloaded latest Radio version (Polaris_1.65.38.14) and installed it, found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?udzmgojzmmd

3. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to set my sdcard to PRIMARY and then i formatted it to fat32.

4. I used stable kernel from Atools, 2.6.25 and modified it for Polaris, selected AUTO for all fstab partitions and saved it root of my sd-card.

5. In Atools mixer menu, i opened "Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.1" package (androidinstall.tgz) and pressed 2.6.25 Modules and mixed them to get new androidinstall.tgz and saved it to my sd-cards /andboot-folder.

6. In Atools boot script menu, I chose disk size 4 (cause I have 4gb card), partitions 2, made "after" partition to ext2 and size 1024 for it (rest of space stays for fat32) and checked "Use SD partitioner". At setup space-menu, locations must have Auto also and at Simple actions i had "Advance mode". Then I saved "install-seq.sh" to sd-cards /andboot-folder.

7. I downloaded "androidupdate.tgz" from here and put it also to /andboot-folder.

8. Then i put sdcard to the phone, started with camerabutton pressed and tricolor hspl-menu menu appears, then gray menu and I flashed from sd. When flashing is finished, phone boots and I let it autoinstall. First time it said to me "installing" and it continued to make partitions and then i got some error. I reset phone, and when text starts scrolling I pressed dpad until install menu appears.. then i chose "Install update" and it installed it! Then i chose "quit" and again error appears. Then i again reset phone and install continued and Android started.. I am amazed, but at least it works!

Hope this helps other people to install Android to Polaris :)

EDIT: For some strange reason, installer does not delete/remove sdcard/andboot/install-seq.sh after first install. You have to remove it manually, before you can boot your phone again!

Can someone upload just the files i need to copy to my sd card, with his configuration would be so much easyer for us all, i got XDA orbit 2, so that i just start it and hold camre button press once 1 shut button, and i can install it, i got now win 6.5 and i did hard spl but my sistem just eat **** by usin atool i got win 7 pls just upload files for copy on sd card with frojo android
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Bladergroen:
Up to date or not update?

Hi, since a few weeks I have a nice working, reasonably stable, working NAND installation of the latest Froyo 2.2 (23-01-11). I used Atools to install this with the .25 kernel. What I never understood is: when I use the latest builds of Froyo (after 23-11-10), do I still need to update the kernel? I suppose the updated modules are already build in these releases? People are talking about using the latest releases but still mix with the kernel update. That made me kind of :confused:

One other question: I once did a system update from one froyo build to the other (15-01 -> 23-01) This did not work (the phone kept rebooting) and I had to do a fresh install, so also the data partition. I did neatly make a backup before that operation, using Atools. But, when I wanted to recover the data part, I found out that the databackup.img was automatically set to 256MB. Therefore it was not accepted, because the internal memory partition for data is only 111MB. I had to start all over again :(. So my question: would it be possible (if a NAND setup is used), to set this option in Atools, so that the backup size is properly adjusted to the kind of install that is used?

hello

i also try use android and works fine until i remove bettery .When i try power on again android is non stop restart and not working. I have Polaris Pola200 install android on nand not make image partiotion on sd card , only in internal memory . What i make wrong ? why android is crashed after remowe battery?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Probably you need to reinstall...

Never pull out the battery when it is on!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] damionshade:
Hey l1q1d, just wanted to say that I had all but given up getting everything working on my old pola100. After trying multiple builds, and reading more forum posts than I wish to count, not one of them could I get working wifi/bt/gps/camera.

Finally stumbled across this thread, and gave it a shot. Your Atools (imho) is a mess, but you took the time to write it up dead-simple, and (most importantly) it just worked!

Thanks for all your effort, you saved (yet another) polaris from the junk drawer.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
You're welcome!

i would only point out one thing you are using the wrong file extension for your android install. instead of using ".tar" use ".tgz"
[Touch Cruise Android Development] m00nlighttt:
installed very well BUT

i installed all version of android 2.1 ,2.2 & 2.3

very well , instillation were god via sd card but after installation

i notice that

none of them were stable i always get error

some error at the main system application

showtimes after some reboot my contact go away

at first i thought it's because android not combatable with my phone (htc polaris)

BUT when i use windows Mobile 6.5 but install it via the sd card i had the same problems

and when i flash my mobile with the same version but using the (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) program which flashing my htc by the computer via the use cable every thing was ok

so the problem not at the android or windows mobile it is at the way of flashing

so could any one build an android image like (ruu_signed.nbh) which contain all the android image files only files no folders to be flashed using (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) program from the computer via the usb cable

if it happen the android will work very well without error i think

hello folks,

iam from germany so it'll be a long time before i get my hands on the evo or the droid x.

so today i read on engadget that android froyo and 2.1 are running stable on the hd2. what about the battery time, is it still an issue? is the android market working?

are there any benchmarks?

I am quit a "poweruser" so are these builds advanced enough for every day use?

thanks :-)

[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
If you want android, get a native android phone. It will be a very long time before it runs as well on the hd2, if ever. There are still several functions not working and it's not nearly as stable as an android phone. It's running stable for a port this early in it's development, but it's still a work in progress. If you want a working android for everyday use now, you will want an android phone.
[HD2 General] CDR123:
its not quite there but its getting there if you want android though just get the nexus but i would rather have the big screen and awesome hardware and wait for android because it will get there maybe a month or so
[HD2 General] Showtime7:
No, I don't believe android will ever be stable on a non-native device. Even on devices that have been developing android to work on them for years have not reached a point of "stability." When they say it's running stable, they mean the OS, not the phone functions. Just get a droid phone if you want droid.
[HD2 General] wangiles:
Buy the hp for what it is, I bought this phone knowing that it's what it is.

I would buy an Android with 5mp and above, with dual led light, 4.3" screen(this is addictive!), thin design, qwerty keyboard, hdmi out, above 512mb ram, Above 1g processor and lots more beyond mentioning.

But I bought a HD2. Smiles for now. :)
[HD2 General] polo735:
I'm optimistic about android on the Hd2. I think many people on here will run it as their main OS before the year is over. Since when are factory shipped operating systems so infallible? The shipped WM roms stink compared to the custom roms. In the end its is pointless to speculate on what may or may not happen. My recommendation is to buy the HD2 because it is the best WM phone ever with an exciting android port to play with.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
But he's not looking for the best winmo phone with an android port to play with.... he states he's an android "power user" that needs a very stable version of android with everything working. I'm amazed at how quickly they have got android working on the HD2 and how functional and stable they've got it... but it will be a longtime before it's as stable and functional as a native android phone and has the same battery life as an android phone (android ports are all notorious for having terrible battery lifes... power management is one the last things that get's completely working and stable). I've been playing with android ports for other winmo devices since the kaiser.... not one is completely functional or as stable as a native android phone. If your goal is to use android full-time, there's no point in buying a winmo device hoping it will run android stabily one day... get an android phone. Personally, I love both winmo and android, so I love having a powerful winmo device with an android port in development... it's exciting watching and playing with it as it progresses. But if you don't like winmo, the HD2 is not for you.

Hello,

I'm using SGS mobile access point from time to time with some difficultly.

Are there anyone who can tell me how to keep the connection running when the phones screen goes blank ?

When it does that I loose the connection and I have to reconnect the mobile access point.

If a tap the screen from time to time I can keep the connection live but even when I do that the wi-fi connection drops after a while !?!?

So, what should I do to get the mobile access point to stay alive ???

Hi There,

I know this is a stupid question, but i can't figure out how to do this and it's really bother me. When i click on the swype symbol once, the keyboard pops up.

How do i minimize this @%@% thing after i'm done? Touching it or tapping it, just bring up the keyboard menu. Double tapping it closes it and opens it.

This is getting pretty frustrating.

Hi,

This is my first android device & I LOVE it. So much better than WM. I know in WM that sense was a huge resource hog & while it made WM better, it also made it slower. I read over & over that Sense on android is also a resource hog. I would like to try a AOSP rom to see how it is without sense. I really do need a camera though (it actually takes good photos & is usuable unlike my Treo Pro).

I am using Launcher Pro so AOSP would be an interesting thing to try.

Which rom should I use?
