Android on Omnia II - i8000 (18.04.2011)

[Guest paranoiadk]

Seems we can update the phone part from JA1 to JJ1 ! :P

(and why wouldn't we, since it's a newer driver for the phone part)

I just renamed JJ1 to JA1 and replaced in sd folder (with ubuntu) and voila! About phone now shows baseband version I8000XXJJ1 :D

And I don't see any differences yet...

what happened to "Latest News" on code.google?

[Guest thew0lf]

3G data connection is too slow. I try to download Opera 10.1 beta from Market. 1 hour it takes to download 1.2 Mb of 6 Mb. Is this normal for this Beta version?

In WM I have 1 Mb/s download speed for this connection.

Do you have flash player 10 on Opera 10.1? One of reasons I don't like WM is the fact that Adobe discontinued updates for Flash player.

Some users have reported that installing Android on "My Storage" solved the slow downloads issue.

Flash isn't supported. You'll have to wait for the froyo release.

Ola,

Have installed Android on my storage. Just downloaded Opera 10.1 from market, it took less than 2 minutes.

Hi,

Does anybody know anything about video libraries? VEVO it's one of my favs apps, but it doesn't work propertly. It hangs up just when it tries to play any video.

Bye.

[Guest paranoiadk]

Then what's with the "...using PHONE_I8000XXJA1" line during boot?

Honestly, I didn't look up what baseband version I had before, but I just assumed that it was JA1 because of that message...

Baseband is that which You flashed - just check in Settings -> About phone ;-)

PS. I talked with Sandor about that.

what happened to "Latest News" on code.google?

When we all waited for beta a few months ago, and forums closed for some weird reason ..... there was a need for "latest news".

Now all communication is open, the PHJ website is public, so no need anymore for a latest news on http://code.google.com/p/omnia2droid/.

Also the main page is changed, all points of (known and reported) info are on the main page (with some content description), so you can shop for yourself.

It would be nice if all sources of information and communities came together on one site, but i don't know if this will happen soon.

The omnia2droid website is operated by a community so things/content/opinions can change, contributions (related to content, maintenance, ideas and development) are very welcome.

EDIT: included the url for those who don't know the site yet ....

ONE MORE TIME: VIDEO IS NOT WORKING FOR NOW.

[Guest pike8]

how can i go back for one step only in menus?

for example, when i go to settings/wireless and press back, it will get me back to home screen, but i just want to go back to wireless menu.

is it possible yet?

In back button (camera), but you need press very fast so just turn only one action back <----- it's wrong

Just press the camera button half way to get back one step (just like you would in the WinMo camera app to focus). @thewOlf

OK! I managed to download Opera from Market after almost 3 hours. Interesting is that web search is done at high speed, but Opera does not support flash player. In WM I even have flash lite player. For now I stick with Android installed on SD card. When things will evolve I will install a stable version in My Storage. Thank you for response and to dev team for their work.

Hi, how did you install to My Storage, you followed the steps in the FAQ thread ? which patches did you do first ? Rapid 2D/3D first then 31Jan11 updates ? please share your step-by-step patches method, thanks.

[Guest slmz]

I use this tuto:

U can try this..

Below is the method that i used to installed Android 2.1 into 'My Storage' on our Omnia 2.

First step that need to be done is do the right partition. I guess if we done this part wrongly it can caused error (kernel option)

due to android cannot find the right path to locate the system files. I used Minitool Partition Wizard Home to do the partition.

1.Partition

- My Storage -

2gb FAT - primary type - named it as "disk0"

[ii] 2gb EXT3 - primary type - named it as "disk"

[iii] 'balance remain' gb FAT - logical type - named it as u like. mine is "WMStorage"

Then, u have to make sure that ur SD card is properly delete previous Android installed (if any)

first, go to samsung setting in winmo > memory > storage card > format. (don't forget to backup)

then, do the partition like below using Minitool Partition Wizard.

- SD Card -

FAT - primary type - name it as u like :P

Through PC Windows, copy Android beta files (beta1024 or beta512) into "My Storage". Files includes:

(haret.exe, default.txt, o2beta, zImage, o2beta folder) - THIS WILL WORK..BUT..

IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET ALL THE UPDATES WORKING PROPERLY, I ONLY COPY (haret.exe, default.txt, o2beta folder) from Android beta.

for other remain files (zImage, o2bupdate.sh, **ext2.tar.gz) i took from 31/01/2011 @devs website.

** FOR THIS PART I OPEN ARCHIVES USING 7-ZIP, AND DRAG N COPY ITEMS FROM "o2bupdate.tar.gz" (31/01/2011) & "o2update.tar.gz" (nObody 3d) into "ext2.tar.gz"

MAKE SURE TO PUT THOSE ITEMS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

2.Untar into EXT3 or also known as "/disk" through Ubuntu

type in this command using Terminal "sudo cp /media/DISK0/ext2.tar.gz /media/disk/" wait till it finish.

[ii] then, type in "cd /media/disk/" there will be a line like : "cd /media/disk$" appear.

[iii] then, type in "sudo tar xzvf ext2.tar.gz -C /media/disk" wait till it finish untar all the necessary data.

....CLOSE TERMINAL

DONE UNTARRED EXT2.TAR.GZ INTO "/disk"

now need to manually update another item (o2bupdate.sh) that supposedly located earlier in your "My Storage"

....open terminal

then, type this "cd /media/disk"

[ii] then, type this "cd bin"

[iii]then, type this "rm -f su"

[iv] then, type type "ln -s /system/xbin/su su" ----> (still working on this part bcoz my android still cant properly root to the device yet)

-but many claimed it should work..

DONE WITH UBUNTU :D

Finish with that. just some steps away to get ur android working.. after that using PC Windows, change the line in default.txt to:

** Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init"

** THIS PART CAN BE VARY, U CAN USE THIS PATH IF ONLY U DID EXACTLY SAME PARTITION LIKE ABOVE.

3.Run Haret for 1st time!! wait until it boot.. ENJOY IT.. :huh:

Actualization by Radies: Here

The last step " o2bupdate.sh " insercion don't work, so I update with manual metod with replace files onto ubuntu, one by one.

Already edited the previous post.. #2046

the last command line in Ubuntu shud be "ln -s /media/disk/system/xbin/su"

Someone correct me if am wrong...

[Guest FactionOne]

(EDIT (after install))

Could someone give me a bit of advice about partitions on My Storage please? I have i8000 2GB internal storage version; so 'normally' I have 512Mb hidden for Windows Mobile recovery partition; and ~1448MB available. I used a partition tool to split the 1448MB in half, so now I have:

1. (Primary) 728MB - FAT32 (for My Storage)

2. (Primary) 728MB - EXT3 (for Android)

3. (Hidden) 512MB - FAT32 (for Widnows Mobile recovery)

...But, since I have re-partitioned, Windows Mobile sees 'My Storage2' - which I imagine will be the recovery partition? (it shows a 'Programs' folder and a couple of files) My questions:

1) Will this Windows Mobile recovery partition still work?

2) Is there a way of hiding it from Windows Mobile again (so it is not visible in File Explorer etc.)

...If re-partitioning My Storage means that WinMo recovery cannot work again, please advise and I will remove this parition and use more space for My Storage and EXT3.

Many thanks,

Rob.

Sounds good.. Any luck overclocking..?

try to overclock to 900mhz on stress test..but it hang device..try to configure Cpu driver 1st..i'll inform later

[Guest radie]

Now i wonder why i still not able to root it.. thanx.. will try it.. :P

ive tried the last step about updating the .sh file but i get an error saying "In: command not found. where do i put the o2bupdate.sh? i have it on my storage.

[Guest voyteckst]

try to overclock to 900mhz on stress test..but it hang device..try to configure Cpu driver 1st..i'll inform later

Ok, i just tested on clean, updated installation and linking to /system/bin/su isn't really enough (also chmodding 4755 isn't enough). When trying to strace, there is problem with setgid(32) function. Altough it's strange, because it worked fine...

If You have rooted phone - can You explain how? Are You using fully updated beta?
