Guest Turborepu Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) ok, here are my organized & detailed instructions. Load ubuntu live cd.(no need to install linux, runs off cd) Plug in omnia(make sure its in usb mode, and mass storage is set to the storage card.) Load Gparted, (you can skim through the menu, it is called partitiion editor, or press alt + f2 and type "sudo gparted" ) In Gparted will need to create 3 partitions, primary partition ext2, extended partition, and the fat 32 partition within the extended block. Make sure you choose the proper drive from the menu usually on the top right.(you may experience issues making some changes to the partitions because the volumes are mounted, unmount them, and try again.. ) Press alt+f2 and type "sudo nautilus" then use that to extract/copy the files over to the card. (ON ubuntu, they dont have the usual way of gaining SU permission so you will get access denied if you try using the normal file explorer "nautilus" to copy the files over without the extra permission. Thats what makes Linux Safer.)(if you are using other flavors of Linux its a bit different to gain permissions and probably managed when you set up your users accounts) After successfully extracting the contents of the rootfs file to the ext2 partition make sure you unmount the volume for the ext2 partition, IF YOU DON'T DO THIS THE FILES WILL NOT BE WRITTEN. hope this helps...

Instead of ALT+F2 : sudo xxx you should do : gksudo thecommand It will give a graphical ui to enter the password :D
Guest theraf90 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 what kind of partition is an extended one? linux-swap?

Guest raven369 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I just found out about this project and I must say I'm impressed. Keep up the good work. It would be awesome if this was ported to the Samsung Omnia Pro/Louvre that's going to come out later this year. *Drools* :D

Just wait it out and it will eventually start. It repeated this line like 50 times for me and I was like oh man!! but the "Android" comes up and I was like woo hoo!!!
Guest Omnia-Winker Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 So im just browsing the forum, killing 5 mins. I drop in here to see whats new and BAM!!!! Andriod running on the Omnia - I never thought I would see it..... Cant wait to see it working, receiving calls, sms etc...... Great work guys, enabling email notifications now so I dont miss anything!!!
Guest TheDrizzle Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 I wonder... there have been some successful attempts to get real multi-touch working on the G1 with andriod (see here). I wonder if we can apply these same hacks to the Omnia Andriod kernel? I'd bet though there are hardware restrictions that would prevent this from working, but it would be soooo cool if it would work!!

I wonder if we can apply these same hacks to the Omnia Andriod kernel? I'd bet though there are hardware restrictions that would prevent this from working, but it would be soooo cool if it would work!! AFAIK the Omnia has a resistive touch screen, the Android phones, iPhones and Palm Pres have a capacitive touchscreen. And the resistive do not support multi touch. That's just the way they are build.
Guest theraf90 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 great!!! perfectly working! Can't wait for a usable version! ps the touch screen isn't as sensitive as it is on windows mobile... probably becouse there are no drivers installed right? oh and if I chage some settings they resetonce I open the menu again... I hope I've helped your development :D with some of the problems I found.
Guest flazer Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/27/spanish...ne-android-set/ Anyone see this yet? Only knock on it is the resistive screen, otherwise they picked a pretty good phone for everyone to get their Android on...
Guest top3b Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 in the posted video, what kind of software does the omnia use to rotate the many screens??Is that manila?
Guest aceofrazgriz Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 AFAIK the Omnia has a resistive touch screen, the Android phones, iPhones and Palm Pres have a capacitive touchscreen. And the resistive do not support multi touch. That's just the way they are build. Not entirely true. Although many resistive screens cannot support true multi-touch, the technology for resistive screen multi-touch is out there, and from what i've seen, working as good, if not better, than on capacitive. This keeps me hopeful, as i much prefer resistive vs capacitive.
Guest StarVision Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Can it boot Windows Mobile and Android together? I mean like the iPhone type of boot screen
Guest like-a-seagull Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 well done on this. i had an omnia but windows mobile just wrecked my head, sold it and got a htc magic instead. fair play though:)
Guest RobMac92 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 If you could have had Android on the Omnia, would you have kept the Omnia? Just out of curiousity. Heard lots of good things about Android and the HTC hero looks amazing, but what do you think of the OS?
Guest mm2700 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Are there any news? Maybe new working drivers? I saw that https://dotpt.com/svn/andromnia/trunk/andromnia_rootfs/ developed Revison 129. This is a big step in my view.
Guest like-a-seagull Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) If you could have had Android on the Omnia, would you have kept the Omnia? Just out of curiousity. Heard lots of good things about Android and the HTC hero looks amazing, but what do you think of the OS? without a shadow of a doubt I would of kept it if android was fully working on it - the hardware itself on the omnia was excellent. the only bad side was the resistive screen. now that i have the magic though im much happier, its a nifty phone.

Guest smilegod Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Is it possible to make android with HTC Hero UI And version of Android I really like the disign and functions ;)
Guest Marco Sousa Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) how to shutdown Android (haret), and go back to Windows Mobile ? Is needed to reset? Edited July 2, 2009 by Marco Sousa
Guest Omnia-Winker Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Can anyone tell me the following please. Is there any new information on this project, do we have a model that is calling/sms-ing yet. Is there a blog anywhere with more uptodate info Can do anything to help Thanks in advance, great work- very eagar to try.

Is there a blog anywhere with more uptodate info Can do anything to help Thanks in advance, great work- very eagar to try. They have a site with forums set up, but its really just for internal use, they mostly use IRC to collaborate. There are some update notes here and there, but usually not much unless they have a good push on an update (next i would assume would be worthy touchscreen driver, last will most likely be the phones radio.) You can look around here: http://support-köhler.de/andromnia/index.php but i would suggest not hopping in to post about anything unless you can help with dev. Some of the guys check these forums and others about problems people are having, and when they can they stop in to help.
