3. Extract the file beta2_1024.zip downloaded at step 1 and put into your SD card, copy all the files including "o2Beta" folder and "default.txt", "ext2.tar", "haret.exe", "log.txt", and "zImage" to the root directory of "My Storage" my using file manager under WM.

4. Download one of the 2D/3D driver links from http://rapidshare.com/#!download|482...te.tar.gz|1480 or http://www.filesonic.com/file/60103983/o2bupdate.tar.gz. Then rename the file as "o2b2update.tar.gz" from "o2bupdate.tar.gz"

5. Put o2b2update.tar.gz onto the root directory of "My Storage".

6. Under WM, execute "haret.exe" by using file explorer which the file is in "o2Beta" directory. From My Storage or SD card ????

7. It will show black screen, start partitioning your SD card and making Ext2 partition and then the phone will reboot itself.

8. After the reboot at step7, execute "haret.exe" which the file is at the root directory of "My Storage". Everytime you start Android just do the same.

Notes: If you want to re-install Android, repeat steps 1 to 8 in the above. This works for me.

look point 6???

PLEASE
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
At point 6, of course you're running from My Storage, your SD card are supposed to be formatted and clear of anything, so how are you gonna run from SD card? Run haret.exe from o2Beta folder in My Storage.
[Omnia II Android Development] drc38:
not working

in the file "default.txt", I have next line "rootdelay = 2 root = / dev/mmcblk1p2 init = / init ". Is that correct??

Haret first time when I run from the folder, my screen shows "mmcblk1p5. Could not a problem here??

thanks
[Omnia II Android Development] scott4:
from "my storage". never run it from sd card. see the whole context pls!
[Omnia II Android Development] artakus:
does anyone have this problem :

1)the wifi stop working after some time unable to on/off

2)FC for market after a day or so..

the fact that it did work,FINE for some time.

after a boot or 2 in 24hours it start all the above problems.

Thanks to all dev for bringin us the android world to our omnia.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
I've experienced the wifi problem before...the method i used was to boot into WM and replace the zImage with a fresh zImage from the installation package. (Of course this is not a proper way of correcting the problem but it DOES work..you can try it)
[Omnia II Android Development] artakus:
thx l3ong91..

will try now.

does wm rom make any diff to android performance to any extent(im not making sense)

so far faster boot time. will post more
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
As I said before, haret will shut down the WM completely before booting up Android OS....so, it shouldn't be affected by the WM rom on your Omnia 2. First boot will took longer time, but after few reboots it will eventually speed up the system.
[Omnia II Android Development] artakus:
i still got the same result even after replacing zImage or re-installing 2.1

the worst thing is it get faster to broke down the WLAN.

(all this on beta2 installation)

i try to roll back to beta1 with the updated tar.gz (manually adding the lib n apk)

results later today.. wish me luck
[Omnia II Android Development] Kademad:
Amazing work!!! really happy with my new reborn i8000

Does anyone else have these issues:

1- Other than wifi, there is no internet connection

2- Can't get any music scanned into the media player (or winamp, or double twist player)

3- No video is playable, including youtube.

Many thanks!
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
Received it again. Appears to be not very stable...

I also noticed that this happens alot, mostly after a reboot (into winmo).

Could dev-team pls have a look into this? :D

thx
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
1. 2g/3g is quite stable here.

2. i'm not using my phone as a music player device, so no idea

3. as i can recall, video isn't supported (yet)
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
1. 2g/3g did works, it depends on your location and the network connection.

2. For music player to works, did you put the music into the correct folder in SD card? By default, all the music files was in My Storage, that's why it was not working.

3. Video is not supported yet!!!
[Omnia II Android Development] theloother:
Has anyone got this running from the SD card (ie not my storage)? My storage is not working on my phone and I am no longer in warranty.
[Omnia II Android Development] artakus:
so far i got kernel panic every 2nd to 3rd day of android on omniaII

the fact the WLAN ceased to work after afew installations amazed me

got the 3g working fine, video still unplayable.

all this on beta2.

i did got 3 day worth of usage during beta1 but end up the same.

i hope they released a better one as all the method to salvage this fails.

i hope we can see the devs fine works soon.
[Omnia II Android Development] nguyenvuchuong:
After install android on my phone, Almost function work smoothtly, but the phone is very hot, someone get the same problem?

[Omnia II Android Development] rafarataneneces:
Hello

Can you PLEASE tell me if the Android Marketplace it's working on 2.2?

I installed the Dual Boot and works great

with BETA 2 I suppose I will still have to rename default.txt

However, I have a question

in Android 2.1 (BETA 1), does the Marketplace works?

Because I want to install Kindle, Nook... and I click on install and then the App that downloads the apps stops working, it never starts downloading

I am downloading BETA 2 (Android Froyo 2.2), since I read that Android Marketplace is working in that

I don't care too much if the phone itself works as a phone

I want

1) Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (Android 2.2)

1) Android Marketplace

2) Sleep problem fixed (if possible)

3) FM Radio

If all of those things will work great then this would be a kick ass phone :)
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Thanks for informing...just edited the first post....check it out
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Beta2 is still Android 2.1, some features on Android 2.2, which is in development were not working, that's why it wasn't released yet.

1. Flash Player, Yes, you will need Android 2.2.

2. Marketplace is working, it works since the early stage of project.

3. Sleep death issues is still a bugs, they are working on it, you can start this issue on code.omnia2droid.google.com

4. FM radio, no idea, I'm not using it by the way.
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Try out the new zImage and report back. Check out LATEST NEWS section.
[Omnia II Android Development] bobzero:
FM Radio works, since january...

continual reboot

I need some help

I've followed the directions as writen here. I copied the files onto "My Storage" and the Haret.exe program from the O2beta folder. It went ahead and formated the SD card and then rebooted. once finished, I ran Haret.exe from the "my storage" root folder. it started to go through its thing, but then instead of displaying the android logo, it rebooted.

I ran Haret.exe again from the "my storage" folder again, it did the same thing and it keeps on doing that. I've even tried the whole process again (3x) and every time it was the same.

HELP!!

What am I doing wrong?

thanks
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
o2b2update.tar.gz???
[Omnia II Android Development] hadesword:
I had the same problem the solution for me was delete ext2 partition format

all and restart from beta2 3ddrivers etc.....

You need to make a new clean installation that's works !
[Omnia II Android Development] sekhar.t:
I have the same problem. Everything goes through until last step. Device reboots instead of switching to Android. Appreciate any advise!
[Omnia II Android Development] nguyenvuchuong:
I installed the latest version, the phone works fine, but after running 30 minutes I have a problem with the wifi (cannot turn on wifi), and then I restart my phone to WM again, after that I run haret from My Storage It's can not startup to android! Anyone get the same issue?
[Omnia II Android Development] elisgugu:
hi guys, i have Omnia i8000 and i really want to run android but i have not SD card because my SD card holder slot is broken and i can`t find a new one. So, here is my question - what if i install android on My storage without SD card? Is there anyone who tried this?

Thank you - i love what are you doing
[Omnia II Android Development] mman1982:
Question

Hi All,

Sorry, i have a noob question. This installation of Android doesn't affect my original ROM? Because i have warranty..So, i install this android, and my phone will boot WM, and if i start haret, boot Android?!
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
This android version doesn't change your 'original' WinMo Rom, as it's running 'on top of' (or side by side) WinMo.

By default, when turning on your phone, it boots to WinMo.

To start Android (again), run Haret.exe from 'my storage'
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
Try downloading this file and follow the steps by l3ong91 (first post). Then download the latest updates (see first post) and replace the files.

It should work without a glitch (at least, i've done it many times)

Good luck
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
As mentioned before, put the file 'o2b2update.tar.gz' into the root of your 'my storage' and run haret.exe again. It should fix above mentioned prob.

If not working, i suggest you to start from step 1 (format ext2/3 partition)

Hope this helps :D
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
If you received the 'oops we're sorry' error, you have to re-install the Beta2

If not, perhaps someone else can help you, if you provide the exact error.
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
For those who (still) don't know how to install it.

Here a short (youtube) video

This 'video tutorial' is made, based on the zipfile i uploaded earlier, but should also work with the 'original' files.

Pls ignore the error messages (made it using a winmo emulator)

Enjoy and goodluck
[Omnia II Android Development] ziadia:
yes my also. I think cpu override, thats why phone is very hot.
[Omnia II Android Development] ziadia:
I installed beta2 with 2d/3d driver and the os is running good. But in latest update i get kernel panic all time! Can you guys please help me?
[Omnia II Android Development] l3ong91:
Yes, the latest update seems to have some bugs/ glitches which cause phone to freeze and hangs....it happens the same to me too, but after few times reboot it seems more stable after that.
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
i have reverted back to the 'original' beta2 installation.

After installing the update, i got 'no service' (phone and 3g)

Will wait patiently for a stable update (with bt support) :D
[Omnia II Android Development] bbuhas:
I installed beta2 with 2d/3d driver and the os is running very well, as soon as I added the latest updates I got lot's of phone freezing. Browser is not working. Gmail in my Email app is not working either.

Eventually I reinstalled beta 2.
[Omnia II Android Development] bbuhas:
Were you able to use Browser, Email app? I always got error message force close. I followed along with the rule of beta 2 update, but no mater how many times I installed the most recent updates I got the problems.

I will try not to lock the phone and see what's going to happen.

Other than bugs with the update, android for omnia 2 is excellent. Thanks to dev. team. I think I should donate to appreciate their effort.
[Omnia II Android Development] bbuhas:
Thank you.

I also had another problem, like, lock/unlock phone with power button and lock button is no longer working after the updates.

Do you have the same problems?

How many times did you reinstall beta 2 with updates?
[Omnia II Android Development] nachoijs:
i followed this guide, and everything went right, but now i can not update android putting the "o2b2update.tar.gz", every time i boot the file is still there, so the update is not applied, do you know what can be wrong??

thanks!!

List of working and non working apps and games

Hey guys, did anyone of you try out any apps and games on the Android Beta (I'm sure you all do). So can someone just share the workable and non-workable apps on this thread so that I can update the list, you can't just expect me to try every single apps out, right? That's why I need you all to help me by posting whatever apps that you guys found working and not working in Beta 1 and 2.

I hope that there will be more replies after this because currently there's only list of games and apps by dani_carraba and me.(and from sontot, which is actually duplicated post, but THANKS anyway.)

[Omnia II Android Development] leandrotsampa:
Good evening everyone, today I discovered something that I had before finding would have avoided a lot of headaches not only for me for everyone else. rsrsrsrsrsrs

I managed to make Android run without having to partition the internal memory or memory card, that's right. LOL

Just do the following:

NOTE: The Android that I am sending is with all the latest updates available to date and also added algunas personal changes to improve performance and use the 3D.

1) Download the file "Cartão de Memória.rar" and extract the SDCARD.

2) Download the file "Memória Interna.rar" and extract the internal memory of the device.

3) Now unplug the phone access the memory card and run "haret.exe" ready and just wait up Android.

Download links:

Cartão de Memória.rar => DOWNLOAD

Memória Interna.rar => DOWNLOAD

Maybe a silly question, but did you set up APN's?

Perhaps you made a typo? (i did it once) :D

Setup internet connection (2/3g)

Go to 'settings' -> 'wireless & networks -> 'Mobile networks' -> 'Access Point Names'

Press 'menu' -> press 'new APN' -> fill in the details

See contacts:

Go to 'contacts' -> click 'menu' -> click 'display options'

select appropriate account -> check the 'All contacts' checkbox

I have a MaJoR Question that made my head aches for months!!!!

My Omnia2 i 8000 16Gb version( from saudi arabia) has built in internal hard disk "555 MB" allowing only 160 MB to be used,and if using energy Rom u'll end up with 90 MB free to have fun :p on mobile without Microsd card..

on the other hand, i inserted MicroSD card 16GB that i can pick out of the phone.

the question is...

1.some mates here talking about 8GB internal hard disk so does my hard disk fail or have a hardware issue???

2.I dont have such internal capacity and even after dramatic sacrifice deleting some windows files 130mb are free,logically i depend only on the external microSD card,so any clue to get ANDRIOD which is a dream for me at the moment :confused:??

the only i thing you could do is back-up your files and do a Hard-reset, and try it again. look for it on google

if you still have problems you need to send your phone back. internal device probably broken.

[Omnia II Android Development] ryanlee9432:
I just updated my Android with the zImage updated by Almar and his dev team,

9/3/2011

There was a rare condition when the SD card appeared sooner than the internal flash at boot - resulting the "No init found" error in kernel. The reason that the sdhci interfaces was not stricly assigned to an mmc device - the first sdhci was the mmc0. This is corrected now, so the s3c-sdhci.1 is the mmc0, .2 is the mmc1 and so on. The corresponding kernel ( svn version 100): zImage.

After I updated the zImage, my middle button has now changed to Go Home when it used to be a pop up menu. Anyone has this problem? Any help appreciated too!
