Android on Omnia II - i8000 (18.04.2011)

Could someone tell me what the partition mappings (correct term??????) are in the init.rc?

I know the "/storage" line needs to be the fat partition on my storage in my case so is k0p1. What are the other ones meant to be ie sdcard and sd?

I used to have to remove the sd card and put it back in for Android but it originally worked fine. And this worked everytime. But since the new update I still get the message of sd card removed. It works in WM, it works as an external drive.... The card is brand new and does not have any problems with it.

The card is a patriot 16GB Class 10 card.

I have tried formatting in win mo. I have tried removing the partition and then reformatting again. I have tried formatting in windows.... I'm starting to think that maybe its the partition mapping is not right.

I should note that on the boot screen the card is recognised as a 16GB card (reported as ~15GB)

And ubuntu can be run straight from the cd/dvd if you boot by cd. I had dramas with usb ports when using vmware in windows but now boot (not install) ubuntu from cd. It has terminal, tar, and partition manager so that is all that is needed.

I guess you must dont use more

that button to go back, use lock (old map) button. Just forget camera button for now.

An Apology.

I owe a big apology to the Dev's of this project.

I have to admit I never thought this project would see the light, and in such rash thinking I acted rashly as well and was very rude to you Almar, and Sandor.

For this, you have my sincerest apologies.

Seeing what this project has become it must be said that you are two of the greatest developers to ever grace the smartphone scene, certainly the greatest to grace the Omnia 2 scene.

The Android on Omnia 2 is a HUGE success and I look forwards to seeing whatever developments you have in store for the future.

I <3 Andromnia 2!!!!!

Yes. Dont you change nothing, since that your Fat32 partition is sdb1(I suppose, if not notice me). In default.txt it is 0p2 because it directed for your ext_ point mount partition that is sdb2 (I suppose). So it must work for you.

Where can I find that mixed drivers? Can I applied them through ubuntu, like o2b2update.tar.gz? Does it replace older drivers?

You can update putting it onto my storage and automatically install or manualy with ubunto on terminal. Yes, it will replace older drivers.

o2b2update.tar.gz --->>> Mix Rapid + Stu grafic libs
