Thanks speedfrog, sorry! I haven't seen the files because I have opened the "Magyar verzió" that the files of the 11th are missing!

[Guest speedfrog]

Some minor problem still appear, like Auto-Reboot, Wrong Battery %.

Anyone can 100% know the auto-reboot procedure...it appears quite randomly in my side

cd /media/disk (assuming this is your mounted partition)

tar zcvf /somepath/myphone_beta2.tar.gz .

(c for create, x for extract)

So in ubuntu terminal I have done the following commands (I found I needed to change yours slightly to work for some reason)

Note: ext2 is obvious but msfat is the normal my storage in fat32 format.

cd /media/ext2

sudo tar zcvf /media/msfat/backup_180211.tar.gz /media/ext2/

Can't remember if I used the -C command in between destination and source though.

But the gz file has the full paths in it ie. When I open it the path for the root of Android is /media/ext2/ . I tried to uncompress from the root folder of Ubuntu so it extracted to the right location and it appears like the files are copied over with the correct path and no errors but when I remount the ext2 partition there are no files in there anymore.

To backup, you should be doing :

cd /media/ext2

sudo tar zcvf /media/msfat/backup_180211.tar.gz *

To restore (after formating and mounting the partition):

sudo tar zxvf /media/msfat/backup_180211.tar.gz -C /media/ext2

Thanks. I previously tried *.* but that only copied the files in the root of ext2 and no sub folders. I tried searching online to find the wildcard for a folder and sub folders but had no luck. Hopefully this will work now. Cheers

Interesting article on battery life in Android...

I did not specify sudo, thought it was common enough

sudo -s

cd /media/ext2

tar zcvf /media/msfat/backup_180211.tar.gz . <-----space dot after the gz

Ahhh it was the space and dot I missed. Thanks for the help everyone.

im trying to do a dual boot win-mo and android using Gen.Y DualBOOT but everytime i click on the android logo it gives me an error "an error occurred on sub __main_bootandroid, win32 exception continue?

i placed the 02beta folder and ext2.tar.gz on my storage while default.txt , zimage , haret.exe on the storage card.

am i doing it right? should i disregard the error and continue?

I have noticed a few things about the beta2 which I found interesting..

I had it working stable for around three days (no sleep of deaths, no restarts, really..no problems).

All I had was the setCPU program going (min 133, max 800, conservative) and call light, to prevent the phone from sleeping during calls.

I had it installed on my nokia class 6 8GB memory card. I was getting a good 12hrs out of the battery with around 2hrs of games, an hour or two of web browsing and a few calls/SMSs.

Now, last night I decided to install the 3D drivers that can be found around 3 pages ago. I installed them and sure enough, graphics performance increased by a decent margin.

However, I got a sleep of death. After a restart and a few more hours, I got another sleep of death. After another restart, I got many problems (appications force closing, keyboard not working, "acore" constantly force closing, etc). After a final restart, android has now stopped booting.

As far as I can tell (with a few windows ext2 viewers) the partition is now unreadable. I will however verify this in ubuntu when I get home in 2hrs or so.

Just for reference, before I had beta1 working reasonably well and when I upgraded the 3D drivers in that (the ones found at like the 10th-20th page in this thread) it became completely unstable, graphical glitches, many sleep of deaths, etc.

this is why not included 3d patch in the package delivered by official？

[Guest forajido]

how can i make the music player recognize musics in storage?? it's only recognizes in sdcard...

That's because you have installed android in My Storage.

In Unbutu, you have to edit init.rc file and change number of partition in the line "mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /storage". Mine was mmcblk0p1, but you'll have to try untill it works (I tried before mmcblk0p2).

I hope you find it soon.

[Guest Gabriel Laude]

would a higher class microsd make a difference in battery life? btw, good job devs for porting android to omnia ii^^

[Guest paw1]

Guys using call light, try switching over to an app called "KeepScreen" (was suggested here before). I've been having a lot lesser battery drain since i switched over. Try it out and see if you get same results.

[Guest carlospaco]

Hello guys, I am a noob for this things. I want to install android on my storage, because on SD it is giving my always some trouble.

For all people who have sleep-of-death problem:

when i press a few times "hang-up" button, and press "hang-up" button long -> phone shows some console commands, lock screen blinks, pressing hang-up one more time-> welcome back to life.

unfortunately i can't recieve calls in sleep, as far as i remember.

[Guest barryhamsy]

Hey friend! You haven't install ubunto on PC. You must install a virtual ubunto through VMplayer. Open VMplayer and Choose "create a new virtual machine" click "installer disc image" and browse for folder were you save ubunto image (.iso) that you downloaded. Then install it normally, when you open VMplayer again, ubunto will be there in left side of window home, click that and play it.
