Any help on the matter would appreciated on this. I've searched through the forums for answers, but most are older responses to the problems I'm having and I don't want to follow them in case I cause more of a problem.
I Just installed Android on my TyTN II, and the WiFi, Camera and USB Sync do not work.
1 - When I try to enable Wifi it just goes "unable to start Wi-Fi
2 - When I try to run the Camera Application that came with install I downloaded I get error "The applicationCamera (Process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
3 - When I try to connect my phone to my PC (Windows 7) it connects fine and I get a notification for USB Debugging and USB connected. When I click on USB Connected it asks me to mount the SD card, but all it does is unmounts it. Then for Android to see it again I'm force to reboot, as I can't mount it again through settings.
I've installed:
Kernel - kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh
OS - Myn's Warm Donut RLS5 (for Kaiser only).zip (which includes all updates)
Radio - 1.70.19.09
HardSPL - 3.56
Now this is my first install of Android on my TyTN II, and the process all went smoothly, except for these problems I have when running Android.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I tried reinstalling everything two times, and I also tried removing the battery, draining the device and putting it back and powering on. However I'm still having the same problems. Also I'm continuing to read through the forums for an answer. I figured I'd post this anyways as there is more of a chance someone will be able to point me in the right direction before I find the answer
Thanks

OK first you are using Kernel 2.6.32, so you need the wifi modules (wlan.ko - wifi driver) compiled for this kernel. Myns Warm Donut does include drivers for 2.6.25.
here you can find a update that you can install to get wifi working. (its for froyo but should also work with donut)

You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:
set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0

at the moment there is no way to sync your phone via USB you need a googlemail account
Btw why you want to use donut. Froyo and Eclair are also stable, fast and have some useful functions.
First thank you for the quick reply

OK with these two points in mind. Would it be better/more stable for me to just use a kernel designed for the Donut system instead of editing the NBH and install drivers?
So you know I used the Kernel that I installed because in the How-To it said you take the latest Kernel. In future how can I know which kernel is for the correct release?

I used Myn's Donut release because again in the How-To it said WiFi, BT, Camera etc are working in it. But then of course I goofed and installed the wrong kernel
With your help here I have a better understanding of it all now and will try what you said, and also experiment with other Kernel's and releases to find what I like best.
FatMutha
Lol, beat me to it .
Since it was noted that I was using a Froyo Kernel on Donut system... from the list of kernel's that can be downloaded here on DZo's Site All recent kernel's in the last month or so are Froyo. Where can I find a recent Kernel for Myn's Donut release?
Also as noted I don't want to sync via USB, I just want to be able to access the SD via USB.
And last is there a place where I can find all builds, Eclair, Donut, Myn's.Froyo etc? or will I need to dig through the foums as the How-To only lists Incubus and Myn.
Also I went to edit my NBH file ( I use Windows NBH Editor) for the camera to change hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0, but I don;t see that option anywhere. Am I using an outdate NBH editor?

in fact there the actual kernels are for froyo. But by editing the kernel with hexeditor or nbh editor you can also use them with donut. The value 'hw3d.version' indicates if it is used for eclair/froyo (1) or donut (0). If you use a hexeditor for the manipulation you have to look for this value. If you are using loserskaters nbh-editor you can directly change to eclair, froyo or donut.

I don't know if it is actual working with windows i because i am using linux on my machine. For reading and writing to the sdcard I have to set 'Start recovery' in the boot (install-) menu on the phone (need a reboot), otherwise it won't work.

Toasty I would just like to say thank very very much... with your quick and courteous answers you saved me a lot of headaches and time in trying to get these items working and searching the forums for answers.
One last question I have that maybe you can answer. I had all my contacts in WinMo..I used pimbackup to back them up regularly, now before I moved to Android I saw that there doesn;t seem to be pimbackup for Android. I searched google for ways to migrate contacts from winmo to android and I found Sprite Migrate. I was able to backup everything fine, however right now I'm having problems restoring the application keeps crashing on me.
Do you know of any program that will all for easy migration of contacts from winmo to android. I'll move back to winmo on a temp basis if needed to get my contacts in android.

If you have stored your contacts in Outlook so the easiest way is to export them in a CSV-File. Then you open the googlemail web-interface from your windows machine. On the left side is a button named contacts. It contains a submenu to import Contacts from CSV-File.
After you have imported them to your google account, you can sync them to your phone.
If you want to get your contacts to Outlook you can also export them from google in a CSV-File

Problem is I don't have Outlook. I have the windows live mail that comes wtih live essentials, but windows mobile center in windows 7 doesn't sync contacts to that. It can only sync to Outlook. Which is why I found the the program sprite migrate.
Prior to me switching to Android I was never able to sync my contacts to my computer, which is why I used pimbackup. Whenever I changed Winmo ROM's i used pimbackup to restore my contacts to my phone.
I'm also wondering if enabling the start recovery in the boot menu might be causing this. Is there a way to disable this once its been added? I tried going back to boot menu and running the option again to disable it, but it just started the process again.
Also I just tested Bluetooth for the first time driving home.. it works in the sense it finds and pairs with my device (in this case my GPS in the car), however my voice according to the other end sounds like a muffled robot.
Also I noticed when I checking info about the version of Android I installed and it says firmware version 1.6.
Now I see through various forum posts that there is android 2.1 working on Kaiser... Am I running a later version because of the Kernel or does it have to do with myn's build I downloaded?
When I followed the How-To on installing android I followed the links provided for kernel and android builds and downloaded those I thought were latest versions.
I'm reading through the forums on seeing different release's of andoird, but how do I know which is the latest build/firmware?

Yes thats correct! YOU are using a donut build (Android 1.6) the newer builds are eclair (Android 2.1) und froyo (Android 2.2). All have nearly the same functions. For a long time donut (imho especialy myns) was the most stable release. But actualy the new froyo (2.2) releases are well optimized for our devices and are fast and stable.

Are you sure you didn't select the wrong option in the boot menu?
When installing the WiFi update you need to select Install Update, then fix permissions. If your phone got wiped chances are you selected Install System.
When I ran the update it fixed my WiFi issues right aways. Also today I installed Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] [9/3/10] and everything worked right from the get go.
The only problem I'm still having is with sprite migrate it can't seem to open the backup of my contacts I made from WinMo.
Right now I'm going revert back to WinMo do a backup again with sprite but also backup contacts to text with PimBackup import to google then sunc with Android as a precaution. Sprite Backup is supposed to make migrating from WinMo to Andoird easy, I read where people have used it without problems but for me its not working, which leads me to believe I probably had a corrupted backup.

Yea thanks for that advice.
No I'm sure I chose Update.. After it "updated" it would wipe the phone everytime I turned it off..
I finally just started over since it already ****ed my data anyway.
Working fine now.
You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:
set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0
I'm running a Eclair kernel on a EClair system with the same error, any idea what can be done to fix it?
hw3d.version=1
I'm running this using HaRET. PolyMod 2.1D is the version of Android I'm running off. (Camera works fine if I install kernel and system to NAND directly)

Hey,
I got the scoot cyanogenmod RLS 4c and after few reboots,when I boot my device,its says google frame work is not responding.I cant tap wait and when i force close google frame work,all of the basic apps force close itself.
Sometimes it even says "system is not responding".
I also tried Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [RLS15] and it says the same.
Any help?
That is data corruption. What kernel are you using and how is it installed.
Ive got 2.6.32
Ive got kernel DZO 2.6.32.I installed it via hard spl.
Thats why. Upgrade to the latest l1qu1d kernel in the thread stickied at the top. Also edit the kernel with atools to match your phone.
I got the new NBH.
I used the guide from l1q1d atools thread.
I tried using the ruu tools but it says the file is bad.
How to I install it?

hey uri, use one of the builds and kernels im using in my signature they're working flawlessly on my Att Tilt, click on the word atools for a guide made by l1qu1d, its very detailed and easy to follow. Donut rls is the most stable one but its a little outdated cause my good friend warbyte has been a little busy right now, Scoot's froyo is the latest of the latest, but im still trying it, for the moment its workin nice and smooth like a delicious yogen früz cup (sorry bout the publicity moderators LOL)
How can I put the NBH in the root?
When I connect the phone to the computer using android,it doesnt work.
I tried to put the NBH on my SD but no file manager let me copy and paste.
It says i have no permission.
When the NBH will be copied,how do I install it?

You have to use a SD card reader and copy it trough windows to the main directory of the SD (dont copy it to any folder) be shure its formated FAT32 and that the readonly switch isnt at the lock position. (the little switch at the side of any microSD to SD adapter)

power off the phone, take out the stylus, with the stylus press the reboot button as you keep pressed the camera and power button, all at the same time! you will see a tri color screeen, then something like "kaisimg.nbh press the power button to start updating" so be obedient and press it!
I have currently Fat Free Froyo with the only 2.6.32 kernel, I was able to make working with my Kaiser, KAIS130 with DATA on SD Card Partition and SYS on NAND
I configured contacts, added a music player application. Did some settings with ADW Launcher. Then activated wifi, tested it working, openned browser and KABOOOM, phone forces ever application as NOT RESPONDING. So, I just long pressed power button to turn it off and then turn on again. All of the stuff I configured is gone, except the Widgets I manually added on the homescreen.
So my question, in the endo is, How can I get my settings saved and not to lose contacts / installed apps?
My SD Card setup:
870MB Fat32 (for Android install, a number of music files and android apk installers)
520MB ext2
510MB ext2 (no idea on what partition its saving DATA)
Most of the time it goes on the last partition of the SD Card, now if you configured data using atools, then p2 would be partition 2 of the card, and p3 is partition 3.
Never heard of data corruption occuring on the SD Card.
Have you tried restoring your phone back to stock OS (WinMo 6.1)?
If not, try flashing the stock ROM back onto the phone so it flashes the stock radio as well back onto the phone. As long as you don't include KAISDIAG.NBH, the bootloader won't be reflashed even though the flashing process states it's being flashed.
Then reflash the kernel you're using, then reinstall your build.
Also you're stating you can only get one type of 2.6.32 kernel working? Have you tried the latest kernel under the Kernel help thread?
Make sure you use atools to configure the kernel for your kaiser.

Just recently installed my apps again without any re-formatting. Installed the widgets again. Rebooted. Now its showing everything fine.
Mine kernel is 2.6.32, Panel Type 1, Keyboard type: tytn II, 240x320 (This one is my first attempt in making an nbh and wifi works on it).
This release (Fat free Froyo) is hell slow while opening applications etc. What can be the problem? The previously used Eclair Polymod 2.1D wasnt this much of a turtle.
P.S: When I connected USD, disable debugging mode and enable USB Storage, the button "Turn off USB storage" turns back to "Turn on USB Storage" after 5 seconds. I can't connect my SD Card as USB Storage :/

I have that same problem with USB Storage, I found that if I leave Debugging enabled in certain cases, I can enable USB Storage just fine. In Windows, no matter what you do, it won't connect, and in Linux it's still pretty buggy.
You've made your own kernel, sweet! Still trying to get mine to compile, but overall really haven't had time with the holidays, but will start up again this week.
Fat Free Froyo is a pretty decent build, but yes some apps do take awhile to load. I found that Gingerbones build is very stable, at least with my testing. You should give it a try, though it is pretty stripped down, so you might want to grab whatever apps you want and throw them in /system.

Right now on Gingerbones:
Radio version 1.70.19 (I'm sure about that)
Wifi Turn ON = ERROR
Installing Polymod 2.1D and checking if it works with 2.6.32 (though the kernel's tagged as Froyo's)
ALOT OF TEXT ROLLS REGARDING SOME SCHEDULE thingi, idk but hope that everything goes ok
Re-Partitioned SD Card and now Data is on 800Megs and FAT32 is on 900Megs
I loved polymod 2.1D but it had wifi error with 2.6.25
Edit: 2.1D says "Unable to Start wifi"
Back to the one and only Fat free Froyo
Edit3:Again settings are not saved :/ Battery is stuck at 15% (even I kept it connected for more than an hour)
Back to Windows mobile for charging fuss

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)

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?

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...

This is a complete package just unzip folder on sd card.
Here is original thread by neopeek
people having wifi problems check the original thread they have a fix
This is the CWM 1.9 thread wich is included in folder already
Using starfox test kernel from XDA (Rhodium only)
EDIT: per starfox dont use test kernels use his new vanilla stable kernel
GAPPS already included.
Im not a dev, just put stuff together credit goes to all authors just posting here to spread the word
DOWNLOAD
Sure, I'll bite. I've got an extra micro-sd card here. What's the worst that could happen?
It's a pretty fast build, I tried it on Neopeeks site.
It is MDPI, so the look of it isn't quite as crisp... (you can see what I mean by the notification bar 3g, etc...lower resolution basically) but I was impressed by the speed. All the animations, etc are disabled by default and I believe that's Zeam that is the default launcher... it is quite snappy out of the box.
what tweaks you did?
no tweaks just put it together
This version is the fastest thing I've tried (probably due to mdpi-gapps), but I have two major issues.
1) Wifi will sometimes refuse to turn on, saying wifi error on the check box. It must be related to tethering and hotspot settings, because after I mess with these I get an instant reboot.
2) Camera is tremendously unstable. Most of the times it crashes bringing down the entire OS or if I am lucky it will crash the camera app and refuse to start again until a reboot.
Of course there are random hiccups here and there (like most builds), but it is quite close replacing WM for every day usage.

This is actually not that unusual... I would get this on my epic4g... which is an android phone .
If you don't mind, please use the vanilla kernel that I posted instead of the testing kernel. While I don't mind that it is being bundled, the [Test] kernel was never meant to be used for long term, and is liable to include stuff that is unstable and/or changed on my whim. The vanilla kernel contains some of the tweaks that I consider to be stable and is based on known autobuild releases+supports all devices. Thanks.

-- Starfox
you think you can make a build with the latest rootfs, starfox's latest kernel, the led patches too?

There's nothing stopping you from doing that.
Including testing stuff into a public build is never a good idea. I wouldn't appreciate anything I distribute for testing to be put into a build. It's meant for testing, so anyone that installs/uses it should know full well what they're getting into. Placing it into a build circumvents that, and everyone ends up using it unknowingly.
To everybody with wi-fi issue:
I've done a small fix

What problem did you have exactly and what do you mean by updating wifi-nvram?
I also have a wifi problem specifically with this build but can't solve it.
(Wifi works only once per boot)
after turning wifi on phone started scanning for networks. after few seconds app crashed not finding anything. i guess there is a problem with assigning mac address.
anyway, as already described, it is known problem :

Can't get CWM working
Hey guys,
I must be doing something wrong, but don't know what.
I just can't get CWM running on my TP2. I followed all the instructions precisely, got into CWM once, even flashed the ROM from SD card, but can't do it again.
I even reflashed my device, Re did the entire SD card but just can't get in to CWM.
Upon booting Haret, I press volume down, but the screen just gets stuck there and doesn't move forward. Please help, I'm trying to flash NeoFroyo 0.1

Nilesh

Did you set all your partitions as primary?

Yes I did that too....
SD Card (All Partitions Primary)
Partition 1: 6.4 GB - FAT32
Partition 2: System - 300 MB - EXT2
Partition 1: Data - 300 MB - EXT2
Partition 1: Cache - 300 MB - EXT2
I put the npkboot folder with startup for RHOD100 on the SD Card (Root) and the NeoFroyo Zip also on the root.
Plus, I also put the contents of the npkboot folder on root of the phone. (Not the folder npkboot)
Run Haret from SD Card through File Explorer & press Volume Down - Result: Frozen Screen!!!
Does not enter into CWM recovery...
Are all the steps above right.

I'm a little confused with what you did.
Basically just unzip his folder you downloaded and then move the Entire npkboot folder to the root of ur sd card.
So there will be nothing on your sd card except the folder. Inside that folder will be everything just as you unzipped it. So for example haret would be at "Sdcard/npkboot/haret.exe". Then just switch/edit the startup.txt in the npkboot folder for your phone and boot into CWM.
You don't need to move anything outside of his npkboot folder that you unzipped.

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

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.

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

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.
