[STOPPED] CyanogenMod Beta2 Omnia 2 (updated: 04.05.2012)

[Guest marisaleh]

just the same as what you do in windows, in wm connect your i8000 with usb mass storage mode, choosing my storage or storage card, which due to where you want to install android and make partitions

So if I burn UBUNTU onto a CD, boot my laptop from the CD hence running UBUNTU

Can I then connect my phone using usb to the laptop now running UBUNTO

How can I now see the phone from UBUNTU to format and copy files

I appreciate your help

On your phone, go to settings

samsung -> General -> USB connection

select mass storage -> ok to confirm.

Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

Ubuntu should automatically mount your storage

No offence, but play around a bit with ubuntu, get used to terminal and its commands and so on. Then you learn to know what it does

When you get feeling with it, install gparted on your ubuntu. Make a back up of your sd and my storage. Connect your phone and try!

Because linux/ununtu is completely different from windows, it does things different then windows does. Therefore there is no explanation applicable from a windoze mindset.

If you really want to start now, just install gparted in ubuntu. It is a windows-style partition-manager which is easy to handle. It is self-explaining.

One thing: try google to understand primary, logical and extended partitions.

You can install it from commandline using the command 'sudo apt-get install gparted'

[Guest lalinde89]

in terms of comparison...:) to which device our O2 could compare from a native android terminal?

our performance could be better??in terms of speed?

by the way, great work from the developers!!!im testing now beta 3! really awesome work for them!!

Thank you very much guys for this help,

Say now I booted UBUNTU from a CD, because I want to keep my windows installation intact

How do I get UBUNTU to connect to the internet using my broadband connection so that I can

download and Install gparted

With Beta 2 i could only use 3G - HDSPA. Now, with beta 3, i can only use 2G - Edge and i can't disable "Only 2G connections". Checkede phone info in *#*#4636#*#* and i get "GSM Only" and can't change it. Need to use WCDMA to enable 3G, is there any workarround this?

Finally, someone with same problem as me! I played around with it. Took out sim, toggled 2G, flicked airplane mode and restarted (dont know which order i did it in, but i played around with it). Now i have ONLY 3G, and '2G only' unticks itself continuously.

I dont mind this too much, get decent internet speeds. But i would like to switch to 2G to save battery life.

Anyone else have this problem? Know a solution?

I used Automatic install package to install on SD card but I was stuck in "Would you like to use FAT32?..."

Then, it asked me "Yes/No/Cancel?". I can't answer as Omina dont have hard keyboard. What can I do?

That was what I meant by my previous post.

Are you on wifi? If yes, search on google on your wifi card + ubuntu. Networkcable should work out of the box. If not, also google is your best friend.

My advise: put your networkcable into your computer and work from that if you only use ubuntu to connect to your phone.

There are tons of forums about ubuntu and connecting to the internet

Remove all partitions from sdcard and install one more time.

Bahh, after reboot a couple of times the My Storage partition table get corrupted. Tried flash a new rom to restore the original partition table and then create again a linux partition, but the problem still, stuck at Android Logo loading (not the Kernel one, the animated).

If anyone have some tip to restore "My Storage" partition table. Already tried rewrite mbr, wipe data with 00, etc, etc... nothing works. The FAT32 partition works fine, but seems that when i boot haret.exe some thing corrupt, then it get stucked at android logo loading.

As far as I remember to restore original partitions, You have to flash MST. But it's rather strange, because my android has rebooted several times with no problems.

[Guest Trasheador]

Some phones come by default with My Storage as a Primary Partition. Mine is one of them. To make a successfull install, it will be requiered to erase the partition and make a new extended and logical partition.

[Guest João Vicente]

None bugs! But camera has a very low resolution!

To restore MyStorage use NueStorageRecovery

If you have ubuntu, you could try this

Startup gparted, attach your phone, then gparted (in the menu) --> refresh devices

Now you should see my storage. Remove all partitions and unplug and reboot phone.

Let the phone format your storage if it asks.

Then again plug phone, refresh devices and make your partitions. unplug and reboot phone.

Worked several times wih me.

Camera has full 5MP resolution. Change it in options.

The installation of a new rom will not mess withe the partitions ...

Just try to format them under WinMo ...

If you got something in your MyStorage, and install a new ROM, that data will not be erased ...

[Guest finacho]

boys!!! where find a tutorial for "my storage" installatiom????? in sd card is slow and lag. battery drain in 3 hours.

No USB should work. How d You think I'm using it? Time - airplane on-off or 3g connection on boot.

USB works after a few restarts :)

Time still wrong, I boot with 3g connection, also did airplane on-off but no luck, may be is just me, may be is because Froyo reports my phone number as Unknown, any way i can always use a workaround.

Thanks Devs!!! better everyday

Yes, that is what i did, flash a full .mst rom, It restores the partition table. Then i recreate all partitions, should solve the problem, but didn't. Still stucked at Android logo loading.

That is what i've been doing, several times, but does not work.

1) Rewrite partition table, recreate partitions. Partition Tool does not found any error.

2) Then i configure everything, run haret.exe, kernel load and jump to the Android (Loading animation) where it's stucked.

3) Right after reboot, if a plug my phone as usb device, Partition Tool will say that my Fat32 partition is corrupted.

Maybe a custom rom, but a full (.mst) erases every thing. And if the partition table was modified, it will recreate the original partition table.

.

Thanks anyway. I've flashed a .mst rom about 4 times since yesterday, formating and erasing partitions several times.

I'll stop for a while to give a rest for my "MyStorage"

.......

If You have adb, connect phone to the computer while booting and view logcat (adb logcat) - it should show what prevents android from starting.

have you changed, or added the Startup.txt to MyStorage?

[Guest rom_omnia2]

Yes, i guess i find the problem, see:

If You have adb, connect phone to the computer while booting and view logcat (adb logcat) - it should show what prevents android from starting.

Thanks, i can see the log, but it's too long and i can't copy from Windows Dos.

EDIT: I saw the log at Windows with "adb logcat". Some of the last lines was saying something about "couldn't extract apk /media". Hard to say, i don't remember puff ...

So i was going to load linux, there i could use the "adb logcat" and copy the message. But now i'm stuck at Kernel (Android on omnia 2 loading).

Seems that the partition was corrupted, now it does not jump from kernel to Android. Like i said before, i can format and try again but the problem would still. Tried several times, it's a partitiom problem.
