Android on Omnia II - i8000 (18.04.2011)

[Guest kyda]

+1

No freezing when plugged in. But when I unplug I get only a few minutes before freezing :huh:.

And I can't download anything from the market. But my ext4 is a bit over 2gb so that might be the cause...

But when android is shutdown in ext4 by pulling the battery out there's no file corruption like in ext2..

Yes exact same symptoms observed.

I dont get freezes from the kernel for the Korean phone thou, but that kernel does not seem to charge the phone, otherwise I could have used it.

I tried to build the kernel myself but got kernel panic when used my own kernel, there were too many things to configure, I must have picked some config items wrongly at build time.

[Guest xibianliang]

probably wrong cmdline in defaukt.txt

CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 init=/init"

check one two pages back you will find out what you should write there

Thanks for your reply ,but i think the default.txt should be correct ,because when i change it, a different error message comes up telling me what partitions i have, and from this message i know k1p2 is the partition of my ext4.i will try to untar the original ext2.tar.gz to it and see if it will works

[Guest jimmad]

well this is what i did

we need the beta2 from project page

http://87.229.73.80/beta2_1024.zip

we need vmware player and ubuntu

we install vmware we setup a ubuntu machine

in ubuntu we open application and we add gpart

them we boot our phone to win mo and mass storage to mystorage

and we connect the phone to ubuntu

as soon as the phone is connected we will see the storage like usb icon

on ubuntu desktop

we copy zImage ext3.tar.gz haret and default.txt in storage

open gpart select my storafe it should be sdb1 (check it be size)

press right click umount sdb1 and rezise it so 1024 MB left at the end of it

format the 1024 MB to ext3 and when finished unplug the phone and reconect it

so the partition will be re mount

open terminal from application

and copy the ext2.tar.gr to the ext3 partition

lets assume that u have ext2.tar.gr on the desktop

in terminal

give df -h

you will se the mounting point of ext3 partition

it should be something /dev/sdb2 ----> /media/something (you will recognize it be the size 1024 MB)

the copy the ext2.tar.gz to /media/something

sudo cp /home/username/Desktop/ext2.tar.gz /media/something

then go to /media/something

cd /media/something

untar ext2.tar.gr using

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

after that copy the original 3d libs update o2b2update.tar.gz in the root of my storage

and check the default.txt

it should say

CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk00XpZ init=/init"

X = 0 = mystorage

X = 1 =sd card

Z = the number of the partition eg /dev/sdb2 Z = 2

run haret from my storage

be patient you may have to reboot again

if this goes well you can start installing program and test your phone

if you want to update to ext4

boot your phone to win mo

in mass storage to mystorage

copy to my storage the zImage provided be kgp Post #3423

http://www.mediafire.com/?9nacv6gzno6q324

keep in mind that this kernel has an issue with the usb so before give up try to boot android

with usb cable connected and un plugged too

open gpart and umount the ext3 partition (this is the one way)

open terminal and give the following commands

assuming that the ext3 partition is /dev/sdb2

sudo tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sdb2

when finished (back to prompt)

give

sudo fsck -pf /dev/sdb2 it will probably says something about error if so give

sudo fsck /dev/sdb2

and for every question give y and enter to fix the partition

after that put the o2b2update.tar.gz for the new key mapping

provided by ritchietos Post #3446

http://rapidshare.com/files/449119034/o2b2update.tar.gz

and boot android if everything is ok

reboot your phone and put

Menu button unlock policy fix - by ult_nrg from faq section

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach...st&id=69528

and if all of this are ok

you may consider to use 3d lib by stu_2k1

and cpu libs somewhere in the first pages

if something isn't understood plz send me a pm

to clarify it

Almar says that this issue is because wifi can't go off properly, so just reboot your device and not turn on wifi, when it sleep drain charge will be low. I tested it and see that its true and now I dont use more setCPU nor 2G only, and sleep work after I reboot my phone and no activate wifi.

Interesting. That does explain why I started getting sleep of death problems after I rebooted. Thanks for the info!

I am using android from sd card so does this differ compared to using my storage?

[Guest]

my current setup is:

- ext4, 2GB

- modified zimage for ext4

- new cpu libs

- new 2d/3d

- button fix

- no setcpu

works on charger perfectly, but after unplugging i got sleep of death after 2min ;D sucks little bit.

i charged the whole night, and rebootet one time. winmo says 86% battery, thats not enough. so probably i got now batterydrain problem or no charging (not usb).

My setup before was the same but without ext4 and the modified kernel, without setcpu and it worked fine.

and i had never the large power drain.

Cause i didn't find out where the benchmark values came from, i couldn't test my phone so far.

But as long as the ext4 is more unstable as my previous setup, i'll change back.

edit: i will test ext4 setup with setcpu, lets see what happens to sleep of death.

AND

SEARCH DOESN'T WORK IN THIS FORUM AT ALL. LIKE MANY OTHER THINGS. PLZ FIX IT!

Last night, I reboot my phone and I had the battery drain onl y 6 % over 8 hrs. I also recharged to full this moring and normal use ( a few calls +play game) for 7 hrs with 25 % reduction. I had not turned wifi on since reboot last night. This seems to answer the different bat drain from the other days for me.

He guys, how to root the phone?

I'm using exactly set same but

ext 4 1,5GB.

I was using 2GB partition but it freezed all the time :S. 1,5GB beta2 and installation by jimmads instructions is best working android so far..

[Guest jimmad]

if you mean differ in the way of making ext4 no

only partition sdbx

if you mean differ in performance i cant really tell u

cause i havent tried in sd card and ext4

android just rebooted 3mins ago. very unstable. eek.

[Guest Pete B]

android just rebooted 3mins ago. very unstable. eek.

I've found the same. Has hung a few times as well. But at least the ext4 partition has yet to go corrupt. Guess its the zimage causing the instability on my install because its the only thing different... apart from ext4 which i wouldn't think would cause it

[Guest jimmad]

reduce ext4 to 1024 MB put the original 3d libs

and them update with stu_2k1

after 8 hours im at 71%

with 2g network only

i used alarm some gaming and sms

Grr find the damn post in this thread.

I already tried that, but the search isn't working right now and the info (how to root) isn't in the faq. Could u at least point me in the right direction?

[Guest Extremegmx]

Are there still kernel panic start (or something like that) if I install beta 2 to SD card ? Beta 1 worked for me but, when i install beta 2, I always get after 1 restart kernel panic :huh: Is there a solution yet for sleep of death ?

Thanks!

sould be proper way if I:

*Create fat32 (7GB) and ext3(1GB) under Partition magic (so far only way to make it visible in WM as mass storage)

*reforamt ext3 into ext4 under gparted

*copy and untar ext3.tar gz and updates in way u wrote

? shoud it work?

and if my fat32 name wud be sdb1 and ext4 sdb2

making such command rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init

should make all thing running properly?

Hello,

I've had to re-install android on my O2 (acore problem), but since that, i have all the time : SD card damaged...

I have tested 3 fresh install with 3 different SD cards, the result is the same -> SD card damaged in Androïd.

How can i fix it?

[Guest jjrt]

@ dev's

will 2.2 be released when sleep bug is solved ?

and have you guys a clue how to fix this problem ?

also is sleep problem responsible for WIFI not willing to wake up after sleep ?

Last question, why dont you guys use the community as much ?, think we could help more than you guys realize

* i really hope to see the sleepbug being solved soon !

[Guest joser1309]

hello friends . my problem is regarding the battery consumption , I ' ve read through several pages that manage to do that is consumed only a small percentage of the battery for several hours . I tried to do everything they recommend not getting anything positive. I ' ve done the steps are :

1 set auto performance cpu in Windows mobile

2 install android as is usually done in the sd.

3 copy the drivers 3d and start android .

4 Remove the use of GPS, tick use only 2g , install call light and start the service, install task activate killer and close all applications.

5 with all that I consume 10% in 15 min while in sleep.

what do you think I ' m doing wrong or that may be affected? the wifi is off and I tried but still consuming enough airplane. Sorry for bad english.

[Guest kgp700]

i'm disappointed

it should but in case something goes south

you wouldn't know what

and the an other thing is that most of the ppl already have ext3 partition

so the only thing they have to do is to upgrade ext

also one or two person in here reported problem

and unable to setup android in ext4 right away

and to be honest this is way i upgrade mine to ext4 to

see if it can be down and help them

im not a dev neither linux expert

and i didn't compile the kernel with ext4 update

so im not in position to know what exactly the new kernel support

meaning the options for ext4 supoprt

So ur advice is to install Adroid on ext3 and then update partition to ext4, rite?

sorry for bothering but those are really my frst steps at Linux
