Disclaimer: This guide worked for me with the Omnia II (GT-i8000) 16 Gb version so it may not work on other phones compatible with this build. I cannot be held responsible for any damage to you and/or your phone.


I managed to get my laptop to boot into ubuntu from CD.
I would like to have ago at installing to My Storage.
I have the 2Gb version.
Can somebody please help me as to what partition sizes I should use.

I think Installing to My Storage will

- Increase the speed hence performance
- Increase the Battery life, device won't get so hot

I believe this is because all I/O functions will be
carried out internally rather than having to access
external SD card. It doesn't matter how fast the
SD card is.

Hi Folks,

After installing Froyo beta 1 (in Internal Storage) and beta 2 (which was working without problems on SD-card) I wanted to switch back to Internal Storage installation with beta 3.
Now everything is working to my wishes:
- Android is running from Internal Storage, Swap is on Internal Storage as well
- Music is stored on SD-card and being recognized by music players
- SD-card is mounted in Android as /sdcard
- remaining Internal Storage is mounted in Android as /storage

This is my device:
Omnia II with 8 GB Internal Storage and 16 GB SD-card.

Internal storage is formatted as suggested in the guide from Gardakkan.
SD-card is formatted as a fat32 logical partition (SD-card is extended partition). The formatting I did with Windows Mobile. Prior to that I deleted all partitions on the SD-card.

In order to get this working I didn't follow Gardakkan 100%.
Here is what I did different:


vold.fstab in /media/system/system/etc
(according to suggestion of thanh_nha0706)

Change the following line:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
-->
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.1/mmc_host/mmc1

init.rc in /media/system/

uncommented the follwing line:
# mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard
-->
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard

Change the following line:
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p5 /storage
-->
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage

I wanted to thank the dev's for the great work !! Keep on the good job !
If I might be allowed to express a wish ... it would be really nice to have a working FM-radio in Android Froyo :-)

... skip. ..

any help please

as in any other android,easiest way is to copy the file to correspondint folder in  system/media/  with root explorer

Actually,if u pay attention to list of existing ring tone and search for any listed title in ur android,u can identify te path at once (that's how i learn)

Hello everyone, I just installed the beta 3 by following the guide of Gardakkan and modifying some detail that was different for me (like mounting the sdcard for example ...), now I'm really happy with how Android works on my omnia .
There is only a question that I want to do and that is if in this beta 3 you come back to using the phone part  that was on the old beta 1, because the GPS cant take a signal over as fast as in the beta 2, onestly my phone now cant take GPS signal and i cant use google navigator app, important for me.  

If something else to make the tricks I would try the GPS happy:)

Apart from this problem  I think this is better than the beta even.


Thanks for the great work, you seem to get to a full version. You are great!

[lyeid]

every thing work's fine.. but after I put my SDCARD and restart.. it wont boot..
my question is : how to check "position" of my SDCARD? (ex: mmcblk1p5 or mmcblk0p5.. etc)

thanks...

[alaamac199]

Guys, with beta 2 GPS was quick, but phone didn't work for all. On beta 3 phone should work for all, but GPS is slower (like in WM). We're trying to fix this, but it can take time.

Quote

mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage

--> You can also change this line to:

Quote

mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /storage

and your phone will mount SD card at /storage and recognize your internal memory as a SD card...

[synescu]

anyone else when get a call you have to wait 5-6 seconds before you can answer the call?

[Gardakkan]

Wouhou! My GT-i8000 shows up in my account on Android's Market. It would not work with the previous beta, that is so much better then having to use the device's market app

Seriously this release is simply amazing!

For me it's blazing fast!

If I could only ask one thing for next release would be able to use hardware accelerated video when I play movies. But still everything else is just awesome.

Long live the dev's team!

[lipe123]

I got the SD card working (thanks for the aditional mods to the guide) but still no USB connection to the computer while running android. Any way I can troubleshoot the usb thing?

yeah i'm guessing that's hardware related since the phone app must be a bit more demanding then the one on WinMo but at least now the screen lights up! hehehe

USB works for me on Win7 but it didn't work on my XP PC at work. maybe its a driver that XP doesn't have by default.

Strange, because it worked for me also in beta 1 and 2....

For XP there is a FAQ thread and there is describe how to install (step 1 isn't needed).
