Android on Omnia II - i8000 (18.04.2011)

Can someone help me for tips or solve method ??? Thanks much in advance !!!

Almost of big apps (maybe 3.5MB up)(my opinion) cannot installed...it happens words "Application not installed"

sample apps -> VPlayer Advanced, Angry Bird, Wonderphoto etc. (all can be installed when beta2)

Temporary workaround:

1. unmount sd card (in setup/sdcard & phone storage)

2. install app (eg angry birds)

3. (re)mount sd card

I don't know why this happens, maybe it's related to the way the sd card is mounted in Froyo where it is mounted as /mnt/sdcard/ (instead of /sdcard/) - does anyone know if some of the bigger apps automatically try to install on sdcard?

I have tried mounting the sdcard as /sdcard/ and although it changed the error message from "unknown error -18" to ""error installing on sdcard" (or something like that) - it did not fix the problem for me.. - I still had to use the workaround.

After applying this

Always occur media force close

+1 (had to reinstall because of this - and "this" is the 02b3update file from xibianliang containing an edited vold.fstab and init.rc)

But there is another update file a couple of posts later (containing the same files vold.fstab and init.rc) - that correctly mounts the sdcard as /sdcard/ instead of /mnt/sdcard/ and does not produce wait/fc errors. It does not however, solve the problem with installing big apps without having to unmount the sdcard first.. - so I reverted back to the original settings.

Finaly got the sdcard to work!!

After I tried nearly all suggested tweaks without a solution I finaly decieded to screw it and reformated

my sd card under wm with minitool partiotion - windows7 and reinstalled android. Only to see that the sdcard

is agian only mounted at \mnt\sdcard but not also under \sdcard (which is the reason alot of apps doesn't install).

So I tried something that before didn't work (probably I played heavilly with the int.rc). Make a symlink from mnt\sdcard

to sdcard. And foila, I can install everything like in beta2!

To symlink, go in the appdrawer -> devtools -> Terminal. There type "SU" and press Enter. After that, type "ln -s /mnt/sdcard /sdcard" and press Enter.

Btw, Signing in to google didn't worked for me over wifi but went through fine under 3g.

Strange, now market is working here, too.

I was having problems with Google Talk (google talk authentication failed).

Don't know WHY it is working now, though...

Did you use 3g?

:-(

Installed it twice already (clean install, normal SD card installation), and after the third or fourth reboot, the device doesn´t wake up anymore after going to sleep. Am I the only one who experiences this behavior?

Booted like ten times trying to solve stuff, only once had a sod (and that was on first boot)...

Do you use Launcher Pro or ADW? Maybe it has something to do with Launcher Pro...it´s the only App I´ve installed actually...

So I've tried installing it on my Omnia 2 but no luck so far...under Ubuntu extracting the tar when copied to the ext partition doesn't work, I keep getting errors about no permission and also something like "cant make symbolic link to". That last error is directly translated from Dutch so I'm not sure wether it is the right translation :)

And if I do the following:

I get this:

I see, you have only one partition on SD card, change the row Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 init=/init"

in startup.txt to Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 init=/init" this may correct problem. I sent changed file for you.

startup.txt

I think it is the best and simplest solution

Hey guys, This is my conclusion;

I am using f.iso, and it works great. Very stable, this morning market was working, i have instal angry birds rio and it works great, with sound and perfect graphics.

Camera works great( taking foto's,didn't try the filming), 3g and wifi ok.The battery is not that bad, i am using it about 12 hours, play with angry birds , went on wifi, install alot and send some and call,take some pictures. I went with wifi on market, no problem

.The only thing that it miss, it's more free memory. I have about 65M free memory, with only call light on.

Is there a possible way to make more off that? THANKs to DEV for there great work

sorry for my English

yea..the mnt/sdcard is the error... it should be only /sdcard ... because thats the way apps know when to install to and SD recognizing hte SD card as /sdcard and not /mnt/sdcard

Tried it, did not work for me, however it seems the sdcard is now mounted/shown as /sdcard/sdcard (in addition to mnt/sdcard) so that might be the reason... - how do you remove the symlink again?

Cheers

John

I can't log in last night. But now it does very well. I made below change:

dial *#*#4636#*#*

set DNS to allowed

Please try it.

You are god, it works with 3g enabled, i will try with wifi, thank u

Edit: works also with wifi, downloading from market right now... :)

I guess it was using your data connection, i don't have data plan and still don't work with wifi + DNS alowed.
