Android on Omnia II - i8000 (18.04.2011)

Hi, I have installed beta2 with updates/new zImage, following the excellent instructions from post #6.

My two biggest problems are:

- Android Market is incredibly slow, and it doesn't matter if I use WIFI or 3G, it still only downloads with about 1 kb/s.

- I get a lot of "wait - force close" errors, seems pretty random, but probably more of them when downloading from market. Don't know if these issues are related, eg. CPU "overload" when downloading.

I haven't seen this issue mentioned elsewhere.. - any ideas what could cause this?

Have you installed beta2 on SD Card or My Storage? If it is SD Card, use at least Class 6 or you may get a lot of wait-force close. This may lead to slowness in Market as well...if you have beta2 on My Storage, I have no idea.

Hi to all

My sorry.

About working sdcard with "vold.fstab" file.

My WinMo GEN.Y.DualBOOT take old zImage file to start and i can see sdcard.

Then i'm correcting path and ... now i can't see sdcard.

Sorry.

I'm try now another configuration.

I ran the o2beta haret (first install) from my storage and also start haret from my storage, so it's installed there right? (I might have misunderstood how it works..)

Otherwise this could be the solution, since the sd card in the phone right now is a class 2.

staring haret from my storage doesn't mean your beta2 partition is on my storage. Yes, you probably want to use a faster SD Card and reinstall beta2 on it. Hope this helps.

Swithching to A 512mb android system partition instead of 1gb solved these problems for me (Class 2 sdcard).

view in sd.cpio.gz :

mount /dev/block/mmcblk sdcard - no OK

mkdir /sdcard1

and

change all sdcard on sdcard1

mount /dev/block/mmcblk sdcard1 - OK

losetup ......

......

-------------------------------

for kernel rev 117 - 123 :

in init.rc

mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard

mishatir I don't know how to edit the sd.cpio.gz file and a init.rc, can you make the file to us please?

Hi would you be able to upload the new init.rc and new sd.cpio.gz file for your kernel rev 123 please?

Load last versions of files (sd.cpio.gz or sd0.cpio.gz), there all OK

---------

It is used sdcard1

=========

kernel rev126 and new modules s3c_camera s3c_mfc

kernel_rev126.rar

I dont know whether this is only to my omnia 2, but

if I goto settings -> SD card & phone storage

It says SD card total space is unavailable

On root explorer, It does not recognise sdcard folder.

btw I used your init.rc

Do I put init.rc in the place where I can see d, module, usr?

I suggest u to just use beta2 pack from devs in 1st page. it less complicated n for me it is good enough for daily use. forget about the fake ginger.. wait for beta3 :)

The same here, with your init.rc and your sd0.cpio.gz and I can't view the microSD with the Root Explorer and with the settings menu...

Thanks!

Can you please tell me how do I update the modules.tar and zImage in this release? Currently I'm running Android through ISO that you provided.

For everyone who gets error the Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init

I have got the solution,

1. First make 2 partitions a fat32 one and a ext2 or ext3.

2. Then open your beta2 1024 or 512 folder.

3. Open the default.txt file with notepad (the one in the root directory no the o2beta directory).

4. Change this line Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 init=/init"

5. To this Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p5 init=/init" because we gonna use the 5th partition.

6. Download 2D/3D drivers and put them in root directory of your beta 2 folder. after this rename the file to o2b2update.tar.gz

7. Connect your phone with usb to the pc.

8. Go to your SD card directory and copy past all the files there.

9. Switch your usb directory within the settings option on your phone.

10. Go to you storage directory on your phone (NOT A DIRECTORY ON YOU SD CARD) copy and paste all those files here to.

11. (use phone to do this) Run haret.exe from inside your SD card directory (and inside the o2beta directory) ***Kernel panic - not sycing: attempted to kill init! DONT BE AFRAID THE BOOTING IN 30 SECONDS LINE WILL APEAR SOON***.

12. (use phone to do this) After this run the haret.exe from inside your my storage directory inside your phone (and not the on in the o2beta directory).

13. Wait and android will boot up.

I was so happy to boot android after a month of searching for the right method.

If someone's sdcard doesn't work -

add following line to init.rc in ext android partition:

"mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard"

put it next to similar line -> "#mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard" , just search it

reboot and it works!

I mean that you have to edit init.rc file in your ext partition and add this line "mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard"

but the line have to be added in specific place e.g - next line after line "#mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard" which is in the file now

Try mylockguard or set cpu 133-800mhz. Both solutions worked for me, but mylock is draining too much battery.(9h from 70%-30% in sleep mode!)
