Guest cooleydan5 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Just wait man, it's an alpha version, it can totally destroy your phone. I really don't understand why you guys all want to test it, just wait for a stable version. I really want Android too (that's why I donated as one of the first people on http://androidomnia.com/), but you have to wait. yea ill probably just do that im just super stoked. WM is just boring compared to the android . but i still love my Omnia thanks! cant wait to see it fullly functional tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say mate, I dont agree with the comment about it destroying the phone. It runs an application from the current OS you are running, and then loads Android. I will try and knock up a how to guide tomoz as I found it bit difficult to start with. and I guess those guys that wanna test it, are just really keen to see how far the developing team are working and have come from nothing, to what it is now a functioning OS. Dont take offense at the comments though ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aceofrazgriz Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 lol its not going to destroy anything, even if it completely bombs and doesn't load for you. it doesn't even touch the phones memory at all, nor the phones built-in storage. only works of SD card (for now.) Even then, device memory will stay untouched for safety. Its fun to play with and see how the progress is coming if your have the know how. but really with not much working, its not worth much yet. keep on eye, they're making progress daily. Currently working: Touchscreen (and its calibrated) Most hardware buttons Battery driver work in progress, but impressive and much to come.

Guest Zeski Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Just a thought -since we're all going be using the same hardware (i900) - what's the point of everyone having to compile their own versions and go through all that trouble? Can't someone just do an image dump of their SD card and post it on RapidShare or Mininova? I know that you need to do stuff with GParted... but I'm sure there's a way to capture, dump and restore that data that is much simpler than people like me, who don't have Linux installed atm.

Guest joža Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Can this be installed without using Linux? yup, you just have to find a program to format it to ext2 and copy all the files on your sd card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, device memory will stay untouched for safety. you should not test every new image/revision out there... there are maybe lots of bugs in it and unstable kernel revisions maybe could brick your phone! we make new andromnia package if its time... testing every revision from any user could be ending in revisions chaos and lots of broken phones... be carefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diggedy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 excellent guide. followed it to the letter and it worked first time. much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mnegutu Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) @Zeski : i'll compile the images when something big comes along (like the battery driver in rev 145). You can find it here : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MYGUI7VZ and a guide can be found on this thread. And there is no risk of damage being done to your phone, as the android does not touch the ROM of the phone or the contents of the main memory/my storage. It doesen't have any drivers to acces them anyway for the moment, and they're not even mounted. Just the ext2 partition is mounted, and the biggest risk when tinkering with android is probably just corrupting the ext2 partition, but repairing this is easy. Anyway i didn't hear anything happening to any user, and i have lots of friends that have tried this on their phones.

Guest mnegutu Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 if Im running android on my omnia will i still recieve texts and calls? No, because Windows Mobile is shut down during that time. No drivers are running, hence the phone part will be turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
