His work has a bug: received some messages later (3days afterwards!): I think anyone should consider Aqtrans CM 5.07 (slower than warm eclair but fewer bugs) build or Warm eclair (myns).
This is the latest and fastest 2.1 release I've found that works out of the box with the Kaiser (f.e. wifi/BT/GPS/...). It's really much faster then the old polymod 2.1d most users (did) use. EDIT: now it's even faster. Mounting on windows x64 works fine (no need to install addition software).

Post your questions in the authors thread. This thread is just to inform you and others.

I've added a working kaiser130 config bundle (SD card): extract to andboot on your MicroSD card and add the androidinstall.tar file (from Incubus's thread or others). Start haret (win explorer mobile) and wait for instructions (press D-button when asked for).
Installing to EXT2 goes faster, but you must format the ext2 partiions each time you reïnstall android. Please wait while installing, it can take a while (you'll see lot's of errors and in the end a black screen for a few minutes).
Thanks robuser. Tried this last night but couldn't get wireless working. trying again now.
Will post how I get on.
Yup working now thanks to the zimage. WLAN still not working out of box for me though.
Installing kallt_kaffe's gps and wifi update did the trick this time though.
Next thing is to flash to NAND one a decent TomTom replacement is out there.
for sd mount..i had installed polys build..i partitioned it 1 fat 32 and 2 ext...should i reformat and do it??
also wat gps are u using?? is it tom tom..i dont have a dataplan..nor am i gonna use the phone to make fonecalls..i just want to do gps..
IS BTaudio works on that build?
OpenGl ES
With SuperEclair Lite 2.1 RLS3, OpenGL ES hw acceleration is not working
I'm using dzo's kaiser nbh of 20100408
Is the kernel missing the hardware driver ??

DZO's Kaiser NBH's are usually without the hw3d.version parameter and it defaults to 0. Eclair NBH's have this set to 1. Use the NBH that I compiled instead (see first post of this thread).

In eclair, with hw3d.version 1, games or anything using hw acceleration come out as extremely distorted for me. Any idea whats causing this? thanks.

I installed kallt_kaffe's GPS fix and installed Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1 [RLS 3]. So far so good. Though I haven't had a moment to try out GPS, as I have no data plan and need to install iGO8. Unless someone can recommend me a better GPS application.
The only problem I noticed is that I removed the SD card and I needed to reboot in order for it to be detected. Been a while since I ran Android on NAND, so I don't know if this bug still exists.
**EDIT**
Can I install apps to SD, or do I need APPS2SD or am I screwed?

The best way to have increased apps memory IMO is to set /data to ext2 data.img or sdcard partition. For me the first one is the most stable and fast option.

Does that mean I gotta reinstall Android again? Not that big of a deal, but I like avoiding to redo a lot of things.
Also, I installed iGO and the screen doesn't show everything. I can't get past the select language screen. Can I change the DPI in Rogue Tools to fix this, or I gotta flash with a higher resolution?
Ok well I re-flashed it with 320-480 resolution, which makes the text barely readable. I used Rogue-tools to set the DPI to 144, and things look better, but I'd hate to see how this looks on a sunny day.
I set the data to SD card, and I'm hoping that's all I gotta do.

To use the option of data on sd card partition, you need to have at least three partitions on your sdcard. The first should be Fat32, the second and third should be ext2. The third ext2 is used by data on sdcard. A more simpler way is to set data to ext2 data.img, in which case all you need is a single fat32 partition, and the data.img is placed in the andboot folder. For resolution, many people find 320x428 @ 144 to be the best combination.

At 320X480 I set the DPI @ 181 and everything looks much better. I started up iGO and could select the correct options. Though iGO either frooze or was waiting for GPS signal, as I had control over my phone but not iGO. I probably need GPSTest running first before I start iGO.
I thought that ext2 on SD card need me to partition the SD card? I'm changing to that option now since it's the easiest. I have a 2 GB card with Android installation and a 8 GB for everyday use. This won't be a problem with ext2 on SD card data.img, would it?
**EDIT**
I set data to ext2 data.img, and it won't boot. I stop at the Android text and nothing happens for over 5 minutes. Tried deleting the data.img on the SD card and still nothing.

Once youre using your sdcard for data or system, you cant remove it while the phone is on or your android will crash. So if you use the 2gb card for installation you cant install onto the 8gb card, unless you first install android, and then through the installer menu set data to ext2 data.img after changing cards. Or you could just simply add the androidinstall.tar to your 8gbs andboot folder. Thats how I do it, I keep the install file in the andboot folder for 'situations'. Whatever works for you though, just keep in mind the limitation.

Hi All,
[ADD 22-jan-2010]
I'm testing now the NAND flashfiles from Diagdave. For newbies: Your kaiser will boot directly to Android.. WinMO is past, history... not anymore on the phone
Very FAST when boot
Have try flash with Droid ION Donut 1.6, Hero Blend V242 and new WarmDonut and all are working.
WORKING: Data, Call , Camera and hard keybord
NOT WORKING: WiFi, GPS, Voice Call, Bluetooth (known issues)
If you want try it yourself. The Kaiser-NAND-Installation.rar contain ony the 3 empty files, emty data.img and rootfs.img - HERE
be aware.. HAVE A WORKING WINMO Flash if you want go back to WinMO
There you have the 6 different flavor of the FLASH file itslef. (Thanks to DiagDave)
320 - Panel 1 - HERE
320 - Panel 2 - HERE
320 - Panel 3 - HERE
428 - Panel 1 - HERE
428 - Panel 2 - HERE
428 - Panel 3 - HERE
480 - Panel 1 - HERE
480 - Panel 2 - HERE
480 - Panel 3 - HERE
INSTALLATION:
Put all the files from the RAR on a empty SD Card
Put the FLASH file on the SD card. Rename it to KAISimg.nbh
Select you Android Build and rename it to system.sqsh and put this on the SD card
Startup in bootloader and flash your phone
Pull out the battery and restart your phone.
When everything is done restart your phone again so the APN will start as well
[INSTALLATION WHEN YOU WANT SWITCH BETWEEN WINMO AND ANDROID]
The reason i start this tread because i think smart guys can programming this ION version so BlueTooth will work also.
I have install a build from the Vogue tread and is SO fast.. The best version i have used at this moment only Bluetooth is not working.
My current WinMo config: (now removed and replaced by NAND andoid flash) but with this config everything was working fine for me in past:
Startup screen:
R: 1.71.09.01 download HERE
G: 25.75.40.03
D: 3.34.00.00 emo
WinMO Rom: Solace 3.1 download HERE
The files u need for this great working Android version (all versions i post here):
Latest Basefiles 16-11-2009 download HERE - Extract to your SD Card
Latest Rootfs download HERE - replace this one over the other of the basefile and your GPS IS WORKING!!!
You can choose between several builds. All are working ok but some of you want different flavors
Droid ION Donut 1.6 / system.sqsh download HERE rename to system.sqsh
Hero Blend V242 / system.sqsh download HERE rename to system.sqsh
Here i have post my own default.txt/startup.txt that i use for both builds:
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x07000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set FBDURINGBOOT 0
set MTYPE 1553
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username= ppp.password= pm.sleep_mode=0 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0"
boot
Remarks
Use for Hero Blend: mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160
All system.sqsh are using the latest basefile and rootfs given above. When you switch between builds delete or rename data.img OR wipe data if you using fat32/ext2/ext2 SD card
When problem with rotation orientation you can try using zIMAGE-23-10-2009 - download HERE
Kaiser Battery problems you can try solution write on this page
[ADD 31-dec-2009]
All files are on my site - AndroidClone.nl
[ADD 23-jan-2010]

Hi, how can i configAndroid for work on my Kaiser wit Vodafone IT?
Is the first time that i will try Android with HaRET.
Could you help me?
Thansk.
Tommaso
Hi
Put everything in the ROOT of your Fat32 formatted SD card.
replace default.txt with default-kaiser.txt
start haret.exe within Windows. First time take some time before you see something so please wait...
After configuration is done you can go back to WinMO doing reset your Kaiser
Excuse me, if i post a stupid question...
Where can i find the last default-kaiser.txt?
Thank you very much!
download the files i given. Everything is in there
Ok... This evening, when i return home from work, i will download all, next i will put all on my SD card (i will replace the content of defuaul.txt with the content of default-kaiser.txt) and i will tap HaRET...
[edit]
Excuse me, the content of folders "conf" and "media" where have i to put?
have i to copy the folders to my SD or have i to compy only some files?
have i to modify some files?
[/edit]
I'm looking for finish this working day for try Android!!
Thanks.
Tommaso.
Everything in root. So conf and media need also in the root as folders with their files. SD Card must look like:
CONF
MEDIA
default.txt
haret.exe
initrd.gz
rootfs.img
zImage
system.sqsh
BUT..... The reason of this tread was if a programmer or smart guy can try this and can let work GPS and maybe Bluetooth would be great.
This version of ION Donut is so smooth and fast
does the vogue have working gps with this build? sorry if this is something know, can't search gps, i guess it's too short of a string for the search engine
Hi, i'veput on the SD card the file you tell me...
I have tappedon haret.exe and Andoid start booting.
I saw linux boot string running on the screen, after that, when it was pased 2 minutes my screen goes black. I've attended 5 minutes, after that i did a soft reset.
[edit 1] I tried to attend 10 minutes but nothing change. [/edit]
[edit 2] I tried also use default.txt instead of default-kaiser.txt but haret freez booting, when the loading bar arrive at the end. [/edit]
Have i to sttend lot of time?

Steps in getting android to boot with the latest files.
1. Format your SD card in FAT32 and 2 ext2 partitions(one for the system and other for data) 256mb each. I found a gparted liveCD is the easiest way.
2. Try getting the latest basefiles from here...http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
3.Copy files to your fat32 partition, and you want to use a kaiser-default.txt, but change the resolution to what you like(or required) and rename to default.txt and use that. Also make sure you have the right .conf file in the /conf folder on your sd card.
4. Latest kernel makes the screen rotate upside down with the latest ext2 boot method for the kaiser so use the 10/23 zimage.
any way to increase the set amount of internal memory?
Tomorrow i will try... Thank you very much for your help!!!

I never have format my SD Card is several partitions... And everything is working. (exept GPS and Bluetooth for the given ION donut build)
Also never understoot will de system automatic detect the 2 ext2 partitions and will it use them automatic? Will also the system work faster?
Calibrate touchscreen:
"You can also calibrate the touchscreen by holding the camera button down (so that the keyboard is showing) while tapping the top right and then the bottom left of the screen. Do this while running the pointer location app in dev tools to check that it works. The keyboard now is the same as on the emulator."
Try this

Open the default-kaiser.txt and edit the "htckaiser.panel_type=[Number]" with the number 1, 2 or 3 (try all of them, until it works).

That's set in default. It's already the most you can (should ever) set it to. Remember the kernel and drivers take up memory as well
Android Failure
Hello Everyone,
I'm a newbie at this but I have read all the troubleshooting guidelines. Anyways, I have a Tilt (Kaiser), having issues loading the New Android. I'm the basefiles-20091116, have copied it to my microsd. I have edit Conf / to just have donut.user.
Now, when I run Haret.exe. I use the default-kaiser.txt to load Android, but after a few seconds I get a "Failed to find system.img on Sd card
/bin/shi can't access ttyi job control turned off " message.
Are there any suggestions to fix this issue?
Do you have a system.img/system.sqsh in the root directory of your sd card?
Android failure
To Whitehooptie, no I don't believe I have the system.img/system.sqsh your talking about. I've been looking for that in the basefiles. Can I find the system.img in the basefiles I've recently downloaded?

Read the first post and you can see what you needed....
THIS TOOL HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. IF YOU REALLY NEED A LAGFIX, USE VOODOO. HOWEVER, WITH LATEST ROMS I DONT PERSONALLY FEEL A LAGFIX IS STILL NEEDED, THUS I DON'T USE ONE, AND WILL NOT CONTINUE DEVELOPING ONE
About
Here it is, yet another LagFix tool. It's certainly not the first, but it does offer some things others do not (at the time of this writing).
This patch uses the ext2/ext3 image in /data method.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR FROYO USERS
(1) Use ext2. ext3 is NOT supported on Froyo, only Eclair
(2) The installation will fail if you apps installed to SD. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage -> On SD card. Click each app and click "Move to phone". In the end, the "On SD card" list should be empty. Reboot. Install CFLagFix. When the fix is installed, you can move apps back to the SD card if you wish.
Features
- Lots of checks to make sure the fix is possible
- This is not just based on a script, but a lot of commands are performed and their results rigorously checked to be what is expected
- You can select (from a set of presets) which folders you want to lagfix
- You can select how big the image should be (between 128mb and all the free space in /data minus 250mb, to prevent low storage space warnings)
- The actual moving of data from RFS to the image is done in a boot loop, while the files are not in use. This minimizes the chance of corruption during move (settings being lost, etc)
- Comes with e2fsprogs, and e2fsck is performed each boot to fix a corrupted image
- Comes with it's own busybox, so no need to install it, and no chance for conflicts
- If an ext2 image is used, it is tuned to not reserve any blocks
- If an ext3 image is used, it is tuned to not reserve any blocks and use journalling
- Also moves databases (safely)
- Uninstall option
- Resize option, resize your partition whenever you want, to whatever (possible) size you want
- "Full automatic" option, this will max out the image size while still preventing the low storage space warning, and will also reclaim the space from the backup folders and automatically resize the image to max again after that space is reclaimed. This generally results in an image of about 1.5 GB. It'll also leave some space in case the system still needs to write in /data but not in the image.
- Progress monitor ("educated guess" about progress, not exact, but pretty close, usually!)
A fair number of these seem to be unique at the time of this writing.
Notes
- e2fsck result is stored in /data/cflf/e2fsck_result.txt
- list of mounted directories is stored in /data/cflf/mountlist.txt
- if ext3 is used /data/cflf/imageisext3 file will be present
- my own test rom is JM2+root-with-update.zip+ClockworkMod
Known issues
- In case the image is heavily corrupted, e2fsck may take longer to fix it than the rest of the boot process. Theoretically this could result in data loss
- ext3 does not seem to be supported on Froyo ROMs JP1/JP2/JP3
Credits
- mimocan, ykk_five, RyanZA, and all others who have chipped in for various lagfixes
- cynogen, e2fsprogs built for ARM
- kalpik, busybox APK
- ofcourse the original authors of those tools as well
- myself, this is all based on ADB Magic code
Donations
Please feel free to donate: http://www.jongma.org/dx.php
Requirements
- Windows
- Microsoft .Net 3.5 framework
- Phone in USB debugging mode
- SuperUser
Before using ...
I strongly recommend using ClockWorkMod and making a backup of your ROM. Just in case Also, during any operation, I advise having your phone hooked up so I can draw power from the computer.
Usage
- Unzip the attached file somewhere
- Make sure your phone is connected in USB debugging mode
- Make sure you have SuperUser installed
- Run CFLagFix.exe
There are three tabs:
Install LagFix
This tab allows you to install the LagFix, and lets you configure some options.
I recommand leaving the "Full automatic" option turned on, if you do, just press "Install !" and everything will be arranged for you. If you turn this option off, you can configure some settings manually, but note that using this does not reclaim wasted space of the backup files.
Note that you can still select to use ext3 instead of ext2, even if in "Full automatic" mode.
When you press "Install !", the program will be finished quickly, but your phone may continue working for 30 minutes or so, and keep rebooting very often. If you have a lot of data installed, it may take even longer.
Do NOT even touch your phone until Android boots up again!
A lot of things are checked before the install will start. You will need about 50% free in /data for the operation to work, but it will check this before making any modifications on your phone.
Resize Partition
This tab allows you to change the current ext2/ext3 partition size. The slider will only let you select values that are actually possible, i.e., bigger than your current data usage and smaller than the total space that could be occupied by the image.
Clicking "Resize !" will reboot your phone and resize the partition. Again, this can take an awfully long time! Don't panic, just wait it out.
Uninstall LagFix
This will uninstall the LagFix. It will completely remove it. Before removing it, however, it will move all files out of the image and back into the normal filesystem again, so no data is lost.
Clicking "Uninstall !" will reboot your phone and perform the uninstallation. Again, this can take an awfully long time! Don't panic, just wait it out.
Note that uninstallation will only work if you are using less than 50% of the device's capacity, but again the program will check this before making any modifications on your phone.
You can only uninstall installations of CFLagFix 1.20 and newer !!
BETA
This is very beta, use at your own risk!
WARNING
This patch is NOT compatible with ANY other lagfix tools. Either undo those completely, or just don't use this. If you were using one of those, I'd personally recommend a complete reflash of the firmware before using this patch.

You sure you have MS .Net 3.5 framework installed ?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displaylang=en
The error message is a DLL initialization error... as CFLagFix doesn't explicitly use any DLLs, my guess would be the .Net framework.

installing now
Well im gonna give this a shot, have just installed the african jg8 and rooted,am doing this fix now.
Then ill try the 1.2 overclock on top, ill post a score shortly .
Not bad though i see one problem... it's windows only ^^

Sorry, bit of a noob here - what exactly do you mean by this? Why would we only want to 'lagfix' certain folders and not the whole thing?
just tried out your tool on my stock DXJF4 (with apps in it, not clean condition). With default size as well (around 1200 mb)
Actually I used mimocan's fix before but everything was wiped by mistake and everything went to default condition.
After the process finished, the Android displayed information about damaged internal SD, but everything was working. Is that expectable?
Now I got 2260 using Quadrant, leap from 1700 with mimocan's fix.
Nice job Chainfire!!
Can't wait to use JM2 / DDJG4
btw, can I post this on my blog?
:update :
whenever I open gallery, it always says no sdcard detected... do you know how to fix this? -> it doesn't recognize both my internal & external sd, but i can browse them properly in Estrongs/astro

You can't really lagfix all folders, as the process where the image is mounted is run asynchronously with the rest of the boot process. There will be havoc if the system can't load certain files because the image is not mounted yet. This is why you can't just lagfix the entire system, but only certain parts.
In the presets I have only added those folders that I feel are mostly safe to lagfix AND would actually benefit the speed of the phone.
Also, for some folders there is some discussion to whether or not it is beneficial to have them in the image, like /dbdata/databases. I personally feel it should be lagfixed, but not everyone agrees.

I have not seen the "damaged internal SD" message before in any of my tests. It might be ROM specific (I'm personally using JM2). I would recommend rebooting (using the "hold power button + press power off" method) and see if the message still comes up. Let me know what happens.
And yes, feel free to post about it in your blog.

Replying to the same message again, hehe.
Now that I'm thinking about, how exactly did your device got wiped ? Anything less than an actual firmware flash does not completely remove mimocan's fix, AFAIK. To completely undo it you'd have to completely reflash (and get stock kernel back), and possibly remove the ext partition from your SD. In other words, if you "wiped" from recovery, this is not a removal of mimocan (AFAIK).
Gallery is working fine for me, by the way, and as stated above, I have not seen that message in my tests with JM2 (neither with a lot of apps installed nor a clean flash).
(Then again, this is the first release, so there might be issues )
Is it possible to do this onto an external SD card (provided one has one that is fast enough) so we do not risk any possible further damage to the internal card due to excessive IO.
I believe it would be quite difficult to replace the internal SD card, and in order to load custom roms (with update.zip) it must be mounted to the internal SD.
I'd much rather replace external SD cards if I had to choose between the internal and an external.
well everything was restored to factory state when I went to CSC menu. I think mimocan's fix also removed since I got 800 in quadrant score.
Update: after I rebooted the sgs for a couple times, now it recognize both sd cards.. weird.. But that's fine since the issue is solved now!

This fix is using exactly same space that is already reserved for user data and programs. And it is on the internal SD. So I really can't think how this fix could cause any damage at all. Thoughts?
I selected maximum Space, and now i have low internal memory. How to remove this fix or change the Space?

Use mimocan's fix if you want to use external SD - it is especially made for that! His thread is a sticky (at the top) in this forum.

Mimocan's fix uses Odin. Like update.zip's, a "factory reset" does not remove patches made in this way, only a real flash does.
Either way, happy to see your problem is solved
I think the problem was the system didn't mount sd cards properly after several boots from CFLagFix. So it needs more reboots to mount the sdcard with structure change properly...

It's a shame you can't open source this.
Personally, there is no way I'm going to run something like this without source - I believe you are just trying to help us out, but there is always the chance that you could be doing something damaging by mistake, or even installing a trojan on purpose.
I'll be following release though, looks awesome and hopefully you'll be able to open source this soon!
This Kaiser ROM is based on not so super froyo RLS18
---------------------------------------------------------------
1.02 is the latest version and is a full version, so you do not need to download 1.0
If you want to set a locale other than Spanish or English you will still need to apply this patch
and as a result of the patch you will loose the battery % indicator
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valentine 1.02
Tested with clemsys #63 2.6.32 kernel and a recent atools generated 2.6.32 vanilla kernel
Change log:
1.0
Initial release
The desktop background has been changed by a smaller file
The battery indicator has % and battery shape (not the green circle)
Go launcher EX in DATA
minor updates
removed some fat in line with FatFree RLS5
1.01
Fully odexed SYSTEM for a faster boot
minor bug fixes
minor app updates
1.02
Replaced 1.01 market with one optimized for the Kaiser (thanks to my tocayo Arturo for the tip)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For your convenience here are two kernels tested with this rom:
Kernel with both wifi and DATA enabled clemsys #63 2.6.32 kernel
Kernel with WIFI-only clemsys #63 wifi-only 2.6.32 kernel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want better localization at the price of the battery percentage indicator you can install this patch
But bear in mind I do not personally use this patch and it is reported not to work with Valentine 1.02 so I recommend you do a nand backup before trying it
Feedback is welcome...
If you have another kernel that works fine with this rom, please send it to me indicating if it is .32 or .25 and what you have tested and I will be happy to add it to this post to help other users looking for the perfect match rom + kernel
and if somebody wants screenshots you can find some there (with a theme on)
http://www.ziddu.com/download/13802744/androidinstall.rar.html
TIPS AND KNOWN ISSUES:
- If you have issues with wifi, 3g or bluetooth, install this androidupdate tar ball:
and repair permissions afterwards
- When using atools please set the correct panel type and refrain from using ´auto´ as that feature is far from working well.
- If you have problems with sound and/or camera try using radio 1.70.19.9 (and not later)
wow dude is so fast is more faster than Fat Free Froy!!! Everything works only exporting from SIM work with Radio 1.70.xx Good job
glad you like it!
I must admit I haven´t tried exporting from SIM as all my contacts are on my google account. Did this work in ´Not so super froyo RLS18?´
Feel free to elaborate on the nature of the problem...

Not So Super Froyo is All Language.. Why you deleted any language? I love my home language Did you make All Languge version?
Where is the kernel stored at? I'm still new to this whole idea. Can I just put this on my SD card and dual boot into this or not?
i have 2 issues:
1. Artifacts on screen
2. home screen doesn't show.

The kernel is meant for installing android on the NAND of your phone (so bye bye windows mobile if you do that.
You should follow a haret guide (that is for dual booting)

the lack of language support is due to the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk
You could update your system with the one from RLS18 and you will recover your language support (you will use the battery % indicator and the smaller (faster) desktop background
so take framework-res.apk from RLS18
create a folder called system, and inside another one called framework
tar this ´system´ folder and call it androidupdate.tar
flash that using update (use the atools script)

Okay I want to dual boot just in case something happens. BTW I reformatted my card, and for some reason it won't open the android install menu now. It says something about no rootfs found?
you really should go to the thread about atools for that sort of thing.
Basically modern kernels as generated by atools need also an atools generated installation script (which is used once only)
But I am afraid this thread is not the best place to ask for help with that, as it is not really related to the androidinstall.tar I uploaded here (you will have the same problem with any other androidinstall.tar) , but rather about installing the kernel with DATA and SYSTEM configured to run from the correct place...

Sorry about posting in the wrong thread. I will look into the ATools issue. I guess that was all packaged with Myn's Warm donut and thats why that ROM worked but not this one. I will hopefully get to run this in the next couple of days.
everything is cool except data connection
so everything i s fast and stable no fc`s no hangs no bugs except one data connection whatever i try nothing happens there is no data connection even after applying the update
I have the same report. Great but no data connection. WIFI does work fine.
same results with Nand and haret install.
Can I deleted some apps from app and system/app folder?
Interesting, that is a bug we must find a way to fix...
a)Did you repair permissions after applying the update?
b)Did you try to set the APN details manually? check here for a full list of APNs
c)If still no luck try the following:
1) using the latest atools generate a current 2.6.32 kernel, update package and install script, set to clear data, install system, install updates, fix permissions, clear dalvik cache
2) install the Valentine 1.0 rom
3) check if data works now...
4) If it doesnt´t go back to step 1 with a 2.6.25 kernel
5) Let me know the results...

sure, but which ones do you have in mind?
if you have adb you could do:
adb remount
(so system is writeable)
adb shell
(to get a shell)
then
cd /system/app
mv app_I_want_to_remove.apk app_I_want_to_remove.bak
reboot
If everything works fine then you didn´t rename a critical apk...

LATEST NEWS & DEVELOPMENT
30.11.2011: CyanogenMod beta 1, update 1. Headset detection (3,5mm jack) update + today's kernel update (incomming call screen appearing fix) in one package. Download here.
30.11.2011: Kernel update. Kernel update contains incomming call screen appearing fix. Now it's instant. Download here.
28.11.2011: CyanogenMod beta 1. Introducing CM beta 1 (based on SpicagenMod 4 from voku). It's very fast, has IMEI working on beta2 phone image, has JIT enabled, I/O speed is increased. For both Americas there is an update script in case of phone not working.
16.11.2011: Froyo beta3, update 1 fix. Update contains kernel which fixes App2SD problem. Download here.
07.11.2011: Froyo beta3, update 1. Update contains following: sensors lib fixes, charging battery fixes, compass calibration caused discharging even when connected to usb, memory bug fix, reserved memory change (GUI should be smoother now), WiFi should connect now faster. Remember to reboot after update, because modules changed. Download here.
18.10.2011: Froyo beta3. Introducing working Bluetooth, autobrightness, phone working for all (IMEI is ok now, signal is much better), boot logo, , some other fixes like: proximity bug when calling, WiFi should obtain DNS addresses and sleep well now, reserved memory for 3D is increased - it should not cause white squares - result is less memory for system, that's why additional swap partition is created and used. Download:
Automatic install package - full install package for external SD. Experimental (not tested, but should work) install for Internal Storage - before using read included README file and make backup. Automatic installer requires 1160MB of SD space.
Beta2 to beta3 update - update from official beta2 (SD card install only).
20.09.2011: Automatic installer is ready for download. Check main site. Quick howto is available inside archive. It assumes that Your My Storage wasn't touched (so it is mmcblk1p5). You have to use 2GB SD card or bigger. If You already have two partitions eg. from first beta installer (vfat and ext2/3/4), it should only format ext2/3/4 partition and install android. Otherwise it will try to shrink existing fat32 and create new one with ext4.
17.09.2011: Froyo beta2 is ready for download (please check project site for link)! It contains new kernel (2.6.32.9) and many bugs fixed (ie. You don't need call light anymore).
MANUALS & GUIDES (BETA 2)
Note1: Pink screen at boot
It's normal because of no logo compiled in. If it's too long (longer than 30s) tap the screen. If this not helps, You probably set wrong partition in startup.txt.
Note2: WiFi
- There is a bug with WiFi. If it's on and phone go sleep, after wake there is a chance it would not work again. Only fix is to reboot. We suggest to turn off WiFi before suspending phone.
- Sometimes phone cannot connect to router (it connects, but no DNS addresses). Workaround: in build.prop uncomment following entries:
Code:
#net.dns1=8.8.4.4
#net.dns2=8.8.8.8
to:
Code:
net.dns1=8.8.4.4
net.dns2=8.8.8.8
Note3: Black screen after call
There is a bug in a phone call. When call is finished, screen stays black. Workaround is to swipe through proximity sensor
Note4: Automatic installer
Requires:
- untouched My Storage with automatic installer content
- ext4.tar.gz from manual install package
- at least 2GB SD card (class 6 at least will be enough) with one FAT32 partition or with 2 partitions (FAT32 + ext2/3/4)
Note 5: Manual install
Example: if You have two partitions on SD card (first vfat, second ext4) You should set in startup.txt following: root=/dev/mmcblk0p2. Full file example for this (do not change anything other, only root device):
Code:
Set ramsize 180*1024*1024
Set mtype 1626
Set ramaddr 0x50000000
Set kernelcrc 1
Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init console=ttySAC2,115200"
setbitp 0x7F008808 5 1
pfw 0x7f005800 4 0x3
pfw 0x7f005804 4 0x805
pfw 0x7f005808 4 0x7
pfw 0x7f00580c 4 0x0
pfw 0x7f005828 4 0x11
pfw 0x7f00582c 4 0x80
boot
Note 6: Internal Storage Installation
If You want install on My Storage (Internal Storage):
mmcblk1p5 - by default is My Storage partition (this partition is mounted by default by Android as /storage)
mmcblk1p6 - by default is hidden partition
You have to resize mmcblk1p5, then create mmcblk1p7 (this will be root device in startup.txt) and format it with ext4.
Just a question: install android needs a hardreset my current WM settings?
I asked that because I have a lot of configurations at now (SPB Mobile Shell, Pocket Breeze, Pocket Weather etc.) and I really don't want to lose them or need to do all again.
Thanks.

I'm a little affraid because I read here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066313) that I need to create a partition at 'My Storage'. So I think this operation will automatically hardreset my device.
the installation is the same as the beta 1??
Is the Zimage missing???
not anymore. zimage is up.

Currently you'll have to do it manually, with Ubuntu.
damn. when i tried to partition the 2GB My Storage into 1000mb FAT32 and remaining 959mb ext4 (in ubuntu), i got an error when applying in gparted.
And now, all 2GB appears unallocated, and ubuntu cant mount anything. So im stuck. Tried creating a partition under Disk Utility, but it just hangs and doesn't do anything. At the same time, using windows 7, im stuck with 1000mb of FAT32 and 959mb that appears unallocated. Cant do anything to extend or delete the partitions (using disk management). All options are greyed out.
So now winmo can only effectively recognise 1GB of My storage. I effectively reduced my storage in half.
Anyone know what to do?

I have extracted the ext4.tar to my ext4 partition on omnia 2 (i8000 8gb) as i always do.
Copied the startup and zimage to my root and changed the startup to reflect my partition. This works perfectly for beta 1
But all i got with beta 2 was a pink screen, so i waited for 10 minutes and nothing...
So i downloaded the debug zimage to see what's going on.
I can see it's "jumping to kernel" and then a cursor is blinking for a few seconds and then the screen goes all black.
Any idea what's going wrong?
exactly the same problem than fran_nic....

damn. when i tried to partition the 2GB My Storage into 1000mb FAT32 and remaining 959mb ext4 (in ubuntu), i got an error when applying in gparted.
And now, all 2GB appears unallocated, and ubuntu cant mount anything. So im stuck. Tried creating a partition under Disk Utility, but it just hangs and doesn't do anything. At the same time, using windows 7, im stuck with 1000mb of FAT32 and 959mb that appears unallocated. Cant do anything to extend or delete the partitions (using disk management). All options are greyed out.
So now winmo can only effectively recognise 1GB of My storage. I effectively reduced my storage in half.
Anyone know what to do?

If gparted is not working for you, then try to re-format or delete all the existing partition on your My Storage using Minitool PArtition Wizard (Do it on Windows instead of Ubuntu).

I have extracted the ext4.tar to my ext4 partition on omnia 2 (i8000 8gb) as i always do.
Copied the startup and zimage to my root and changed the startup to reflect my partition. This works perfectly for beta 1
But all i got with beta 2 was a pink screen, so i waited for 10 minutes and nothing...
So i downloaded the debug zimage to see what's going on.
I can see it's "jumping to kernel" and then a cursor is blinking for a few seconds and then the screen goes all black.
Any idea what's going wrong?

Did you do the extracting in Ubuntu? And did you set the destination to the correct partition?
First boot it will took some times for the pink screen to disappear, for me it's around 1-2 minutes, before the shiny Android logo pops out.
ok i have found a solution.
re-format sd card with g-parted under ubuntu.
-unmount device
- completly erased partitions.
- create new partition in fat32 in primary mode 7go
- create new parttion in ext4 in extended mode 1go
- extract . tar files in ext partition.
my first install was a 2go ext4 parttion , it seems to be the pb, i've read somewhere that if ext 4 partitions are more than 1.5 go = troubles.
hope i have help you....

Yes i did the extracting in ubuntu. I checked my previous startup to be sure i had the correct partition cause it always worked.

Then make sure you set to the correct partition in the startup.txt, coz for this 2nd version of beta is different from the froyo beta 1.
For your reference:
mmcblk(X)p(Y)
For (X): Root of partition
mmcblk0: SD Card (If you want to extract the ext4.tar.gz to SD Card)
mmcblk1: My Storage (If you want to extract the ext4.tar.gz to My Storage)
For (Y): Specific partition number
You need to find out what is the partition number of the newly created partition.
ie. if it's 2, then it will be mmcblk(X)p2
In this beta, it's normally p5,p6 or p7.
Hope this helps you understand better and good luck.
Thanks for your advise l3ong91.
Problem was... windows would see My Storage while ubuntu would not. Minitool was able to resize my partition so i could use all of it. BUT still ubuntu would not recognise. After a lot of work, i found the problem was in my micro usb cable. It was faulty. So i replaced that and voila! ubuntu mounted My Storage. I was then able to create the partitions. Unpack the ext4, set startup.txt to My Storage (mine was mmcblk1p2 after following youtubeguide by JerryTech11).... Then had to redownload zImage (as i download my version early on and it was 2.2mb while the current link is to 2.4mb). And android is now running! Hoping battery lasts a day with moderate use. If so my omnia 2 is once again my favourite device.

Thanks for your reply.In beta 1 mystorage was seen as mmcblk0.
That was my problem.
I changed it to 1 and it boots perfectly.
Thank you very much for helping me out here.

thanks to all the above the dream of runing android on i8000 came true. and because of their job we were expecting faster and faster, more and more efficient and smooth versions.
i followed their path. got a version, modified it, combined the best parts of each ROM and i am offering a new ROM much closer to be complete and less beta.
DETAILS ABOUT THE ROM
It is not based on frenkiedroid as far as i know but followed other path onto chinese ROMS. I think it is faster than any other ROM (tell me if not). It has achived score 1035 on antutu on my class 10 sd card (this is almost the speed of a native android phone using cm6 and this fast hardware)
According to measuments made using Benchmark & Tuning it is up to 56% faster compared to the already fast frenkiedroid
Tested
bluetooth
wi-fi
3g
calling
sms
radio
gps
usb connection
battery lasts up to 2 days

reopen minitool an if after ext4 partition there is left some unused/unformated space (grey colour) delete linux swap partition and create a new linux swap primary partition including this time the previously seen unused space
when finish select settings on your phone and change usb connection mode on your phone to "my storage"
In the root of "my storage" we paste a) haret.exe, B) zImage, c) startup.txt from the folder "copy to storage card root" from the rar we downloaded and decompressed
Disconnect our phone from usb, enter "my storage" and run haret.exe
this is the end. android starts. hope you enjoy
Hi guys, any reports on testing this ROM?
I want to set up my old Omnia 2 with Android for my gf, so I'm looking for a stable and simple ROM for her.
Thanx.

You can try either my ROM or twister2 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
they are both the same level
the fastest is mine
faster GPS in on mine (ms-based preconfigured)
wi-fi i think works a little better on twister
twister has preloaded facebook etc, while mine has only stock apps
mine has business (single) coloured menus while twister has fancy (multi) coloured menus
if you want to install optional apps that have ads and you are not expert on android then install twister
if you want to install apps that do not have ads (or have ads and you are android expert) you can choose mine
please not that some people mentioned that with my ROM their SIM card was not recognized. i am not sure if the same for your SIM, your country.
Only two ROMS to choose. so you need only a few hours to try them both and make your decision. the choise is yours
Samsung i8000 (omnia2) android cm6new rom v4
as I promised long ago to publish
SAMSUNG I8000 (OMNIA2) ANDROID CM6NEW ROM Version 4
- Support even more SIM
- Speed improvement - response
- Corrected some errors
- Upgrading of most programs
- Show ics (ice cream sandwich - android 4.0.X)
- Arrangements for energy savings
The new enhancements took me some time and study. I8000 reaches its limits due to its old drivers that are already written for mobile identical hardware with it.
Hope you like it and I expect opinions and suggestions to version 5 if there will be any further developments. Otherwise I will try to assist in the plan for android 2.3 on our mobile.
Explanation photo below
1 = home screen (the background is black on purpose because the amoled screen thus consumes less energy. If you want to change select another background with as many black dots. Black and not just dark color.)
2 = dialer with ics theme, search function names and support many languagesk. Make it default dialer if you like it
3 = new android ics Task Manager (task manager). Appear with long press of home button. If you do not like replace it with the Advanced Task Manager or ICS Task Manager / Switcher. To open them again by long pressing the central button select Settings / Cyanogenmod Settings / Input / Long-press home settings / select custom application
4 = ics camera
5 = menu ics (holo launcher)
6 = ics settings
For those who want even more contemporary look can choose Active lockscreen or Holo Locker
I tried installing this on my Omnia II.
I successfully create the partitions on my SD card, but when I go to starting the process with the ROM file, it comes back with the error message:
"The image file requires an updated version of this program."
I grabbed the latest version just to try it, and I need to purchase a key to make it work.
Yes, I reset my computer clock to September 1st, 2011. Do i need to reboot the machine after the clock reset?
Everything else so far seems to work fine, and if this works even half as good as I think it will, props to you for getting this done. I hate hate HATE winblows 6.5 on my Omnia II, and always wanted android. I tried a few of the older attempts years ago, but nothing was every stable enough to keep it.
Thanks again for any help.
where can i download the ROM ?

I tried this program, and again, comes up with the same error message.
I'm getting to the point where I have to change the date, then run image for windows, but it just keeps giving me that error.
I'm running windows Vista, could that be causing the issue? is there any other information I need to change or pay attention too?
I'm literally doing everything step by step, and yet its not working for me.

it's only 542.27 KB. how long time can get to download ?
even if you have dial up or the server is full you need seconds to download it
just make sure the time change is ok and better cut all internet connections before execute the program

until trying to restore image

antivirus is off

I've just tested it, the same problem I had as others already mentioned. I went back to the version 3, success! So I think the version 4 image is damaged or not correctly made. By the way, the version 3 that did work for me has no microsd card support. You should modify by yourself the startup.txt file to enable the sd card support.
Hope my words can be helpful to others.

i made my ROM to be installed on sdcard with sdcard support. Hundreds of users already installed it and no problems at all. i installed V4 again last night and no problem at all. my phone is i8000 8gb version if you install on storage card YES you should edit startup.txt and also edit vold.fstab and fstab files.
if find some free time from android 2.3 development project testings i will make a Version 5 and on this version i hope minor problems to be solved.
I downloaded the newest version of Image for Windows, which is v2.83 (the one in the package is v2.61), the tool to write the image into the partition ext4, and this time, everything went just like a charm.
I have to admit that the V4 image is a very good one. It's really fast and clean. I think the problem that we had before is caused by the lower version of Image for Windows. V2.61 can't load correctly the V4 image file, which I think is made by a higher version of Image for Windows. With the new version of Image for Windows, it's even not necessary to change the date.
The Chiese ringtones in this ROM are hilarious. I'm a Chinese, they are OK with me. But I think original ringtones would be better for common users, hehehe.
great work , will it work on omnia b7610 too !!

technically yes it can run. but i do not own one to test it myself. you can try yourself and tell us your experiences. test on sd card installation first. it it pretty smooth and fast. you will be amazed. in case it will not work you can always check TwisterV2 ROM also very fast and smooth
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
alternatively in case you meet some driver conflicts you can always use ubuntu and other ROM's drivers to edit this ROM and make it work for you.

I am facing the same issue, I cannot load my Storage Card.
1. I am confuse with term SD Card here. Is it refer to Storage Card or My Storage? Storage Card means external micro sd card, isn't?
2. I followed the instruction and put the Image to Storage Card. How can I activate the Storage Card Support by editting fstab files? Where can I find these files?
3. I had format Partition 1333Mb to ext4 File System, but I wonder why it always turn to ext3 after I restore TBI file(after ImageRecover step). Is it okay?
Thanks.
