that is very compleks. The final version of beta with zip is easy for us.

[Guest cicciosprint]

Toyed a bit more and:

- battery info is now displayed, looks it STILL has something to do with the charger having been plugged in BEFORE first accessing battery info, will test more

- had one restart, but that's due to me experimenting with resource optimization :P

- had the "multiple keypresses to wake up" hiccup, perhaps the processor clock is set TOO low?

Also, battery life seems to still be somewhat lacking, with no correspondence between WM and Android, still some lines onscreen during locking/unlocking but I first want to compile a revision of tom3q's lib before passing judgment. Testing, testing...

After a fresh install everything works fine, didnt get any problem waking it up and speed is back to normal: fast.

Was able to get gprs working until i rebooted my omnia, now i can't see the apn list and if i try to add them again they get lost too. Was unable to use wireless also until i reset the apns to the default. Now i can't use gprs anymore but that's a problem i can live with.

Until now, for some 3 hours, i didn't get any waking up problem and android is just fine. Battery drain is lower then in previous version and i find it already very usable.

Thanks devs, doing a very good job.

so...after fresh install, personally I find beta2 a little bit slower, but better :P. Now 3G data is working, my simcard contacts are finally imported, wireless is working better (but slower then 3G...weird), etc, etc....so all together beta2 is better.

now....for the guys who want to know what I did:

1. copy the original beta1 files to My Storage;

2. run Haret from o2beta folder;

3. terminal text is running but no andoid logo or xwindow. It restart it self;

4. unpack the Radie's update package - February 4 2011 to My Storage root;

5. restart (using Haret from My Storage root). Andoid logo and everything;

6. copy beta2 files to My Storage root;

7. restart. Everything looks fine. A couple of freezes, but after a couple of resets everything was running;

8. copy the o2b2update.tar.gz update from 2010.02.10 to My Storage root. Rename it to o2bupdate.tar.gz;

9. restart. Android logo running smooth, everything is ok. GPRS data is ok and really fast.

Any questions? feel free to ask!

Thanks devs!

This means you dont have crashes/freezes? I have everything functioning normal, but it seriously it crashes/lags after a while (suddenly). I have been pulling out my

battery like 20 times already. Really frustrates me :D

Its probably the best tuto for SD instalation, (have only one detail wrong, in penultimate line, rename to o2bupdate.tar.gz), so I have the best for My Storage, . I have tested its hardcoreless and everything is OK, stable, no lag, no crashes and make me very happy. Enjoy:

My ultimate tuto to good performance in My storage fresh install:

Criate/format both:

2GB FAT32 (primary)-->DISK0

2GB ext3(logical)-->disk

3.5GB unlocated

0.5GB hide partition WM

Plug USB on windows put into DISK0: o2b2filesys.tar.gz (from o2b2filesys.zip), o2bupdate.tar.gz (with 2D/3D libs), new zimage(from o2b2filesys.zip), Haret and default.txt ( change line to"rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 init=/init") (from o2beta1024).

Unplug USB- Start ubuntu in VMwarePlayer - Plug USB - Connect to Ubuntu - Open Terminal and comands:

sudo cp /media/DISK0/o2b2filesys.tar.gz /media/disk/

cd /media/disk/

sudo tar xzvf o2b2filesys.tar.gz -C /media/disk

cd

sudo cp /media/DISK0/o2bupdate.tar.gz /media/disk/

cd /media/disk/

sudo tar xzvf o2bupdate.tar.gz -C /media/disk

Unplug USB and run Haret.

No Chance for me. After I unpack the Radie's files into my Storage root and I run Haret.exe and then IPC Transfer starts and my phone reboot. No Android screen nothing. It's my 4th Install.

This would make it clear for everyone! Thank you!

(btw somehow i can't get out of Airplane mode???? Sigh...)

EDIT: Do i NEED to REFORMAT my sd card?

[Guest xcavs]

beta2 really awesome.. I never have problems from fresh install, I just put all the updates to the 02b2filesys.tar.gz manually. I never get the sleep of death, the clock problem fixed, the battery for 5 hours only decreased 4%, have not tried wifi, in general I feel beta2 much better than beta1.

Thx dev.. :P

[Guest DaMomnia]

I am confused, my beta 1 doesn't boot anymore :P

Now, I do a fresh install. Before i checked out the beta 2, my beta 1 run.

[Guest bu11d0g]

Try unzipping this (http://o2droid.phj.hu/o2b2update.tar.gz) into your "My Storage" root and then booting up from Haret.exe from your "My Storage" root.

Worked for me hehe

[Guest Shadowlord666]

I'm having problems with a SDHC card (class4, 16GB).

I managed to install beta 2 on it, but everything was very slow. I had crashed apps/processes every few seconds. Also WiFi didn't work correctly. Downloads were VERY slow or I couldn't connect at all.

I've reinstalled Android three times, but always got the same results.

Now I've installed to an older/slower microSD card (not SDHC, 2GB): NO crashing apps and WiFi is working better (very fast).

I'm using the same setup files/updates for both cards.

I've checked the SDHC card with HDTune for errors (nothing found). AND I've made a benchmark comparison of both cards. The SDHC card is indeed faster.

So, are there still problems with SDHC cards or am I doing something wrong? But what?

FAQ suggests using a class 6 or class 10 card, so it *should* be working somehow, I guess.

I want to buy a faster/bigger card, but if SDHC isn't working correctly, that would be a waste of money.

Also, sleep of death still occurs on my device with beta 2 (complete reinstall, not updated from beta 1).

I'd say, it happens more often than with beta 1 (I could still wake beta 1 up with a couple of keypresses, but it's not possible now).

[Guest 92omnia92]

hi all,

how to root i8000?

thanks

[Guest djsolidsnake86]

Also, sleep of death still occurs on my device with beta 2 (complete reinstall, not updated from beta 1).

i installed beta 2 (fresh install) in my storage (with the method described in the google code page) and i still get sleep of death (and mine, before wasn't spam)

[Guest bu11d0g]

Hi everybody!

I managed to install beta2 and it's been working ok for me, pretty stable, no sleep of death, very fast.

Only problem is that I can't get the data connections working, even after setting up the APN for my carrier (TIM Brazil).

I can't connect to wlan either, using WEP here.

But it's great to see Android running on my phone, great work DEV TEAM!!! o/

[Guest Yce]

Well, i tried everything... but I can't install the beta2.

After ipc transfer it gives an error like "multipdp, invalid id: 10" or something like this, and after it blank screen then reboots.

Someone could write down how to install it to my storage manually step-by-step? if someone did, where can I find it?

Sorry for asking it again, but I don't know what I'm missing...

[Guest bufalo]

just a posts above, but doesn't work for me. Just like damommia

Hi Alexovy

Thanks for the explanations

I have 2 problems

1. I cant turn on wifi now. When I click it looks on but cant connect then turn of itself

It was working after my first install

2. I need to enter my cariers APN setting. But when I go the page there is nothing there. It is a blank page.

I mean when I go through settings>Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

There is nothing in this page

Thanks
