Android on Omnia II - i8000 (18.04.2011)

[Guest Pete B]

I had that same problem today

Running stable from My Storage, but sometimes that message pops up

Although I haven't noticed any app malfunction after that like u have

I'm also using setcpu and the 2g only network option and so far it's been smooth sailing for me and my droid

Devs, u guys rock \,,/

So have you managed to get rid of the message or do you just put up with it? Have you tried fdisk or anything else that worked or did not work?

I may look into making an image every week of Android so if it has dramas I don't have to change all the settings and reinstall all the programs again.

I'm thinking it is not worth while making the image in the current state because the errors will just e copied back over.

If I copy the whole package over the top of the existing installation in Ubuntu I'm guessing that all the settings and shortcuts will be gone.

[Guest vudn54]

Just tell us exactly what ur doing mate and we'll try to sort it... remember "exactly" :D

quato7906

OK,exactly here is what I did:

1.Install VMWare Player 3.1.2

2.Download UBUNTU 32 bit version 10.10 from here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

3.Install Ubuntu

4.Download & install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

5.Take your phone ,go to Samsung Settings USB settings and set USB Connection to My Storage

7.Connect the phone to the PC

8.Open MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

- FAT32 primary Partition name "disk0" 2GB

- I tried 2 method ext3 and ext2 primary Partition name "disk" 2GB (but ubuntu got it into "disk_"; I don't know why)

- FAT32 primary Partition name "disk1" 12GB

9.Copy the entire beta2_1024 folder content on the root of the storage device in Windows! ,not the folder,the content with Android files: ext2.targz default.txt zImage o2beta folder Haret.exe and o2b2update.tar.gz

10.Disconnect phone & launch VMWare Player and run UBUNTU.

11.connect the phone, it will be recognized like android storage device.

12.In the Ubuntu go to Applications-Accessories run Terminal,--> write down this:

sudo cp /media/disk0/ext2.tar.gz /media/disk/ have not dirctory

then I change to "sudo cp /media/disk0/ext2.tar.gz /media/disk_/" and OK

after that write:

cd /media/disk_/ there will be a line like : cd /media/disk_$

sudo tar xzvf ext2.tar.gz -C /media/disk_

(I also extract all you o2bupdate.tar.gz to system with above methods)

13.Turn of the VMWare Plater & Ubuntu, plug the USB with the phone to PC again and edit the line:

Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 init=/init" to this:

Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 init=/init"[/b and save it (I tried mmcblk0p6 ,and mmcblk0p2)

If is mmcblk0p5 or mmcblk0p6 then PPC freeze, but Is is mmcblk0p2 then ppc have "IPC tranfer" and reboot to WM

14.Unplug phone -> and run Haret exe from the root of My Storage not from inside o2beta folder

[Guest quato7906]

sometimes after sleep the O2 can't wake up,anybody has the problem? :D

I can confirm that when you launch Haret when device plugged in a charger,you WILL NOT have any sleep of death,tried this 10 times,when started without charger plugged,device always goes to deep sleep and wont wake up until remove the battery,

SO JUST START HARET WITH PLUGGED CHARGER,after Android starts remove the charger and use the phone normally all day(wakes up with END button only,press twice sometimes),but don't forged to use CallLight or KeepScreenLite applications for the line drops after 30 seconds.

14.Unplug phone -> and run Haret exe from the root of My Storage not from inside o2beta folder

9. You mean the root of My Storage?

before plunging the phone onto the Ubuntu machine do rmdir /media/disk

after this your ext partition hopefully will be automount to /media/disk instead of /media/disk_ (but dont worry too much about this, as long as you know where to extract the beta to)

Keep using mmcblk0p2

I think you missed a step, install 2d3d update, this might help with the reboot.

Yes, It root of My Storage

I installed 2d3d update by copy o2b2update.tar.gz to root of My Storage, didn't you?

I tried

"sudo cp /media/disk0/o2b2update.tar.gz /media/disk_/

cd /media/disk_/

sudo tar xzvf o2b2update.tar.gz -C /media/disk_"

But still "IPC tranfer" and reboot to WM

I tried many many time but can't success

And I have one Q?

-Does Rom of WM affects the installation?

Give the instructions on Post #3154 a go and see if it helps any. :D

Yes, I will try it, thank you!

i'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what rom you have, as Haret kicks WM from memory before running android. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

However, there are reports of winmo settings effecting android setting (eg. cpu setting)

Well, I updated, but no speedup... have to do a fresh install or what?

[Guest alexovy]

i made a fresh instalation of beta2, and everything seems to be fine,

but SetCPU says that can't get root access, do you know why?

the beta2 is supposed to be rooted

thanks!

ONE MORE TIME:

for the guys who don't have root in the beta 2, just copy the .sh file from here, to my storage, rename it to o2b2update.sh and restart android.

Now you have root.

Just to disappoint the others (and me), yesterday I had an unexpected reboot to WM . I started the Android and the WiFi wasn't able to connect at all.

After all I restarted "cleanly" my Android and I've been stuck at the text boot up with some "...inode..." message.

When I connected to Linux PC, I didn't see any data on my 1GB ext2 partition. So check of the filesystem and I had many folders and files in the Lost&Found folder.

I figured out (by the number of items in each folder and their names) which folder is designated for which function and renamed them. For all the misses I've put from my ext2.tar.gz.

And voila I have again my Android phone with everything inside - software and data not even touched.

But that wants to say that ext2 is very instable filesystem if not checked at every reboot and shutdown. ext3 is not an option because is slow and not designed at all for flash memory (because of journaling and memory overhead). I'm still not able to figure out how to implement the e2fsck at every boot.

Another thing for the people not able to update their systems. It's because the init.rc script is not mounting the My storage FAT partition to /storage. And like this it's not able to read the update at all.

For the battery drain I've made some additional tweak of SetCPU and added a profile (the 2nd page) for sleep - 133-266 MHz. And you need also to switch in Airplane mode and back to sort out the 50% without signal message. I don't know if this matters but now I've ~13h since unplugged and @56% with some basic installations last evening and 8h standby during the night. The GPS combined with Wifi is a battery consumption hog. Nevertheless, still the most of the drain is coming from Cell standby :D

no root support here

it did the job for me. I am using setCPU now (not in read only mode) and Absolute System Root...I have just changed my boot animation to Nexus.

yes now worked (i renamed it correctly!)

it seems it only shows up when the system is under a lot of stress, multitasking...

i got that message twice yesterday afternoon, but it's been more than 12hrs since i last saw one

i just put up with cuz i didn't notice any weird behavior aside from the gui restart

u're using My Storage right?

Yeh I am. I reinstalled again because it kept coming up doing simple tasks. No messages since reinstalling.

Mine was coming up with the message when only launching small load apps like the dialer for example.

On another note I formatted as ext3 this time. Knowing that ext3 is slower but more stable I feel the slow down is noticeable on normal tasks so might copy all the files from the ext3 partition and reformat as ext2 again then transfer the files back. Hope this method works so I don't have to reinstall all programs again.

it should work, I do this all the time :D I change types, sizes of partitions then untar back my good backup,

it keeps all the settings even the sms notifications!
