Hi, I recently purchased a Bell Locked Samsung Omnia 2. I have unlocked it(through fastgsm, it is NOT debranded) and changed the registry keys in order to use my data plan under Rogers. I was wondering:

If...

1. This change in registry keys will affect the process of installing android.

2. This will work on a previously BELL locked Omnia 2.

And...

3. Which phones are getting majority of the errors. I noticed some posts not referring to which phone they are using. Or do all the phones this beta is available for affect each phone exactly the same.

Thanks.

READ FIRST POST CAREFULLY!!!

But according to Almar's tweets, he tweeted that camera works, but not much information about it, most likely it will be an update or new beta soon enough.
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
1. These registry changes are made in WinMo, (should) not be affected by Android.

2. Should not matter if the device was previously 'locked'

3. No idea, i'm running the 2011-02-11 version with only occasionally a 'sleep of death'. Other than that, it is running fine.

rgds.

I like to ask why i can install the first beta and can't install the beta 2?i can run beta 1 perfectly ut when installing beta 2 after the second haret i'm booting black screen then my phone boots up winmo

o2b2update.tar.gz ???
[Omnia II Android Development] volts320:
i already put it in and tried it as well.....i even tried Beta2_2011-02-11 with the call light already install also same problem it black screen after second installation and boot up WM
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
Did you remove ALL beta1 files en (re) format the SD (ext2 partition)?

(including the o2beta folder)

so, you first you've run 'haret.exe' from the o2beta folder?

After this, the phone reboots into WinMo.

Then, you start 'haret.exe' (but not from the o2beta folder). (This step can take a long time, before actually seeing 'Android')

Phone should now boot into Android. Configure it by touching the 'Android' and follow the wizard.

Then, shut down the phone and boot back to WinMo. Copy the 'timeupdate' file to the root of your storage card, start 'haret.exe' again.

Should be working...

hi everyone, I just tried to update to the latest version but I noticed that the battery usage is still 96-98%.

So I think I've made something wrong, I unzipped the kernel file and put all the files inside in the root of my internal storage ( I have Android installed in there )

could you please help me?

wrong post, sorry
[Omnia II Android Development] palet90:
its the first time that i try this, im spanish sorry for my english.

Could i copy all the files in a SD? not in the My Storage?

Because in the My storage i don't have free memory, and if i copy all in a sd, i lunch the haret.exe from o2beta, and all went good, but when i try to lunch haret.exe that starts android, since 2 minuts, appears: kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

What can i do?
[Omnia II Android Development] doclorenzo:
I installed beta2 with latest 19032011 update and 2d/3d drivers a couple of days ago and it worked pretty well, but only for a couple of hours, in which I installed a couple of program, and played angry birds (with a lot of graphic errors/white boxes).

I have no idea what I did, but the system then started creating a lot of "wait or force close" errors for different programs, and was suddenly very slow almost no matter what I did, but especially when using Android Market (even downloads dropped to 1 kb/s or in that area).

I tried formatting the sd card, and reinstalling including replacing the droid files in "my storage" with the "originals". Result.. - exactly the same errors and still very slow - and this was immediately after the first boot.

Are there any other files that I might need to delete when reinstalling?

Any other explanation?

Fantastic work guys.. but need some help

Have got my Beta 2 running fine and loving it..:cool:

New life for my O2 :)

Here my build:

beta2_1024

2D/3D library binaries

2011-03-03 Updates

2011-03-08 Timeupdate

2011-03-09 zImage

2011-03-19 kernel_19032011

Help needed or any update that fix following:

=================================

1. Having problem with applications such as Google map, Facebook Check in, Foursquare, Places and many more as it is depending on GPS and will not automatically switch to use the 3G / GPRS when indoor.

2. Timezone not sync with the WinMo. When the time on WinMo is corrected to GMT+8 the Android time will be off by 8 hours difference. The same happen if correction done on Android.

3. Battery drain quite fast (last ard 4 hours after full charge) still bearable but would be a bonus if this could be fixed. :)

Lastly would really appreciate all the effort the Almar and the team have put on this project.. Thanks guys.. Cheers..

Appears that ADW.Launcher can't run side-by-side with LauncherPro

[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
Try the following:

In WinMo, set the USB-connection to 'Mass Storage' i.o ActiveSync first

(Start -> Settings -> General settings -> USB connection -> Mass Storage)

Then, in Windows, create a 1Gb partition using EASEUS

Now set the connection back to ActiveSync

Copy the required files and try again.

Hope this helps

Runs like hell but freezes.

First. Very Big Thanx! This is a great step ahead.

I'm using a custom ROM, also non English.

I had to manually unpack the ext2.tar.gz to newly created partition. Android runs smooth, but it freezes.

1. Can you please advice where to unpack the 2D/3D patch? What about the zImage? Copying files to \My Storage\ does not help.
[Omnia II Android Development] emptyara:
Android not freeze anymore after I copy the 2d/3d patch.. this can be done by download the patch.. open the "ext2.tar" using 7zip > double click "." > "system" > "lib" > **"egl" - copy those 4 files and paste with the default in the same location as ** (android 1gb 19jan)

regarding the zImage, u just need to overwrite it with the new update (\My Storage)-root
[Omnia II Android Development] theloother:
Well done guys!

Any chance this will ever be bootable off the SD? My "my storage" is inaccessible
[Omnia II Android Development] yaqin123:
i dont think so. coz it says someything cannot be found in my sd. sometha like that. thus it cant mount. making it not able to run android.
[Omnia II Android Development] carmiels:
work's fine

I install it and it works just fine.

I had some problems at first with the creation of ext2 partition . But after formatting the SD card with the utility from samsung it work fine. I sync with my google account an Wi-Fi. It would be nice for GPRS to work but not yet. Tried the browser and market and works OK.

Grate work!

[Omnia II Android Development] nonilion:
Android runs on SD card

It runs on SD Card! Just follow the instruction, but use SD card instead.

1. Start haret.exe from the SD\o2beta directory and press Run.

2. Use some file manager or Linux to extract ext2.tar.gz to "new" partition that was created in the first step.

3. Copy/extract contents of o2bupdate.tar.gz to new partition in system\lib\egl ... (same structure as in archive)

3. Start haret.exe from SD Card main folder.

4. Not sure what to do with updated zImage, I have replaced the previous files in o2beta and root directory on SD card.

Hi All, How long do we have to wait the first time it boot up? Mine have been sitting on the "ANDROID" screen for about 5 minutes not going any further. Thanks.
[Omnia II Android Development] javinetdvd:
i have a strange issue: usual instalation on sd card doesn't work for me, first reboot after untar ext2.tar.gz is ok, but after reboot I have the ext2 partition empty.

I've tried create the ext2 partition from ubuntu, so I have 2 partitions(1 fat32 and 1 ext2), and I've decompress the files directly in the ext2 partition... but when I insert my sd card in the mobile, the partition seems to be formatted again, (no files in it), even If i remove the card and try it in ubuntu again, the partition is fat again, and the files have dissapeared.

I've tried with 2 sdhc cards, 4gb and 8gb, identical problem on both

This always happen when I insert the card into the mobile, or the mobile reboots. It's like windows mobile detects strange partition in my card, and auto fix it.

If I have only one ext2 partition in the card, when I insert in the mobile, automatically appears in windows mobile a message like 'the sd card has an incorrect format... would you like to format it now?'

Anyone have this issue? any suggestions?

Please... I'd like to see android in my omniaaaa :)

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

which zImage I got to replace the one in the o2beta map or the one ion my storage?

Okay, now just stick to Beta 2.

1. Install Beta 2.

2. Copy 3D drivers after device rebooted.

3. Put in the latest patch( 19 March).

4. Android should be running fine.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is because in your beta there is no modified libcamera and s3c_camera.ko to make camera work. I want to add 5mp (currently only 3mp is supported) and then I will release it. For the sync init problem, please report it at our bug site (the google page), because we thought we fixed it.

just want to let you know, I got beta 2 and the latest update (19032011)installed and the data connection is working, but everytime I go to android market and try to install any software, the check signs that mention the software will have access to your phone replaced by warning signs ( like there is no connection to access the phone function) and after that shown unsuccessfull download.

the other problem is wifi, when right after I installed it, wifi is working fine but now it wont start up when I click wlan connection button.

anybody have the same kind of problem? :confused:
[Omnia II Android Development] xmanbogy:
Hi Almar;

Thank you for your great work so far.

I use Dutch Vodafone and could not make APN work using www dot androidworld dot nl/forum/showwiki.php?title=Tutorial:APN+lijst+Nederland[/url]. I will try to figure this out myself.

however I just want to tell following points

1) it would be great if there would be a rom for 2 or more GB partitions instead of 512 or 1024 MB.

2) if you can publish a fresh installation files with latest kernel with 2gb partition that would be great.

3) will there be any possibility that we install your work directly ROM of the Omnia2? ROM installation using octan downloader. for example with good order an flashing an working .eb0, .nb0 , .csc etc installation. we will be very thankful.

by the way can we donate a beer to developer community of the project?

I finally got my new microSD card and installed android on mi omnia2. I have no experience with Android at all. I have a couple of questions, how can I see my SIM card contacts? (I can see only the ones on gmail). How can I connect to my mobile internet service (3G)? (calls and wifi are working ok).

Finally, is camera working?
[Omnia II Android Development] n00bslayer:
Import contacts from SIM card:

Go to 'contacts', press 'menu' -> Import/Export -> Import from SIM Card

See contacts:

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

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

Setup internet connection (2/3g)

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

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

Camera isn't working (yet)

Hope this helps

Thanks to Dev!

I just followed L3ong's instruction in installing Android in my omnia2. And it worked, amazing! I installed it in SD, tried to use Gen-Y dualboot, not successfully, and now I just called haret.exe if I want to play AngryBirds :D

Thanks for all, but as I am sure already mentioned somewhere here, there are still lots of bugs in the beta2. The camera of course, and the battery life - kinda heavy, I drained my omnia2 to zero for the first time last night.

A lot of issues on applications, I only managed to run AB Rio, and cannot run the other 2 version successfully. (I used 2d/3d as l3ong suggested).

There is a "Sorry. Dump error" on starting haret from SD.

A lot of works already done I am sure. Just about time I feel really pissed off by M$ abandoning us WM6.5 (why people say M$ are marketing genius while they dump millions of devoted WMs? the world is really unfair ..:confused: )

Again, thanks .. will follow this thread ..
