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

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?
Or is my kaiser that don't work very well?

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?

Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"
I've been battling this error again and again whenever I tried another Android release, and since there are no real answers around, but some others have the same problem, which according to searches mostly goes unanswered in bigger threads, I decided to go ahead and dedicate one thread to it.
Problem: After installing Android and running it, its boot ends up in an eternal loop displaying
Code:
micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used
.
Setting: German Rhodium. Initially an Energy ROM. Since I thought it might be something from the ROM, the latest one is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan.
8 GB SD from Kingston. Since this was named as a possible problem, tried with 1 GB SD (Kingston) as well.
Reformatted SD and restarted from scratch.
Tried Android versions:
Project Android 030810.cab
Project Android 033110.cab
[MJG]Rhod.Eclair.Rebuild033110.3.rar
plus various older ones (with different base name, xAndroid or something like that?) already deleted.
Tried to disable 3D Hardware during boot.
Another suggested workaround to use specific files from older releases; these I could no longer find on the net.
To sum attempts up:
Tried different (?) Android releases (xAndroid, Project Android) - fail
Tried small SD card (1 GB) - fail
Tried SanDisk instead of Kingston SD card - pending
Tried to reformat SD card (with SD card formatter) - fail
Tried to disable 3D Hardware - fail
Tried WinMo ROM labeled as created for Android (Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan) - fail
Tried to insert SIM card (was missing) - fail
Tried to update HardSSL (Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe) - fail
Information:
(forum prevented me from adding links to external information)
This forum, other members with same problem
Looking for: suggestions what else to try.

I have an AT&T Tilt2, stock rom, 8GB SanDisk. I see a very similar message when booting xdandroid, but mine continues to boot through, my boot sequence snippet runs like this:
Code:

Touchscreen device directory is /sys/class/input/input2
Then continues to the screen calibration. I know I'm not helping directly, but perhaps can help lead others to clues ?
i already started a topic for this exact error....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632128
So far no one has come up with a solution...
Oh, sorry, I searched the forum a few times, but mus have forgotten that thread, otherwise I would've posted there as well...
From what I can read there, maybe I should try a SanDisk instead of Kingston SD? Or is it SD vs. SDHC? Anyway, I just ordered a 2 GB SanDisk from Amazon (smallest one I could get ) and will try this next...
I managed to solve it by reflashing the newest HardSPL. (In my case I had a corrupt microp firmware, casuing all kind of problems in WM as well).
It might not solve the problem for you, but it can't hurt either
My SanDisk SD has not yet arrived, but I tried to insert a SIM card (phone currently has none, since I' using another one while testing) - no changes.
Thanks for the HardSPL hint - tried as well. No Luck, but at least another topic to add to the "things I tried" list
Okay.. So, i tried HardSPL.
Task 29
Reloaded my Rom
Hard Reset
Formatted Memory Stick
Followed ALL instructions!
Nothing happened.
I then went back and tried an old version of android from this thread
I used the 12/20 2.01 version.
AAAANNND..... it loaded right away....
WHY does this old version work, and the new ones wont?
what is different?
Update: my SanDisk SD card arrived, so I loaded [MJG]Rhod.2.1Sense.042310.rar, extracted it to the card, and started it. Same problem. This means it does not seem like a Kingston SD card problem.
So... I tested, and can confirm that the old build you linked solved the problem for me as well!
I have searched this ENTIRE FORUM and read EVERY SINGLE GOD FORSAKEN post about this error. I am at my whits end!
Someone said they got it to work with a more current package and an old rootfs.img
I didnt try the same two builds they did, i tried the sense ui one and the old rootfs. from the build i said works. it did not work.
so i figured i would compare the two rootfs.img to see what the difference is.
however, i cannot open the contents in windows (from what i understand)
so i install UBUNTU on my computer.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to mount the damn image!
PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE! please look this up. i am frustrated beyond words.
if you can give me a way to compare these files in windows, i will be glad to do it.
I just cant stand windows mobile crashing all the mother f-ing time and i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to use android. Im sorry for being so frustrated. i have spent literally HOURS on this...
Anyone, anything?
Mount rootfs.img

You can mount image in terminal like this:
first create dir with:
mkdir /mnt/rootfs
then mount the image:
mount rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs/ -o loop
then change dir to /mnt/rootfs and you have the android FS.
i will also compare old and new rootfs so maybe we will found something!
BR
I still have this problem.
I tried what you said, but i keep getting errors. I cant seem to get it to work. I will again look through all the threads again, as well as the different websites i found from google. i will link them tomorrow when i get a chance. If anyone else has found anything, please let me know.
The latest kernel has the following commit message
"rewritten micropklt_lcd_ctrl calls to micropklt_set_misc_states calls"
So this might fix it for you guys?
It seems to have some other problems with sleep etc, but if it boots it is something
I see, thanks for looking, however, i still cant figure out how to mount and change things in ubuntu (sorry, i know i am a newb) would you be able to repackage it with the line changed to the old one? and upload it? i will check it out to see if it works.
It's alive!!
Download latest Android build with latest kernel from hxxp://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and replace zImage and modules and thats it.
i didn't test it full, but it starts!
Thanks to Star-Lite for info!!!
BR
Ah yes it works! Beautiful beautiful!
Don't thank me, thank CaptNoord for fixing this in the kernel
I'm sure he has a donate button somewhere
I will donate as soon as the bills are past this month (a couple more days)
Out of plain curiousity, is there a reason why this error only happened on some devices and not others? Could it be from a hardware difference between maybe different revisions of the device?
use the right starup.txt file
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?

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).

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.

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.

Congratulations on your first build, will download and test tomorrow
Downloading...
I'll report back soon.
yay nice to see another android dev on the scene, welcome
please another mirror for downloading...i cant download it -.-
Hi,
Thank you so much. This is the best nand sense rom that i have come across so far. I love that you decided to bundle Data2EXT with Stock Desire.
Aside from some wakeup lag (bearable), I haven't been able to find any problems.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Mostly, i dont have lag on power, though it seems to be a common Sense build issue, anyway i did put some kernel updates on post #3.
I used all the day my build with SetCpu @ 1190 without problem and lags and battery is fine, worth a try .
Check in first post what radio i'm using, maybe changing it can help.

Looks good, tempted to download as the build I'm using at the moment doesn't work with MDJ S10.3.
Maybe, you could include a stock framework and stock fonts for stock lovers?
No problem......i will make an update with both stock fonts and framework.

build looks nice - this is my second nand flash both desire based.
The first worked perfectly and then i installed yours so i could get the sd memory but now im finding that alot of the apps that previously worked no longer do and i have also lost contacts.
The previous build was lightning fast whereas this seems to have a slight lag.
Do you think i have done something wrong? And should i download those 2 updates
Which build you was using?
Looking at your reply i suppose that you was using a non Data2Ext build, so it is normal:
_ Loosing App and Data if not a previous backup with Titanium backup,Mybackup,...
_A little lag, because Data are on SD card.

No, it wasnt a d2ext build (DFT's Desire build)
I guess you are right and i should expect lag etc
Am i right to assume that the apps that i find that arent working are doing so because they dont support a2sd? or should they 'believe' that they are on the rom?
I find that a large number of them, when i try to load them, just flash up the screen asking me to force close them.
Basic apps that should always run like Lookout security (worked previously) but only works intermittently now and i keep having to register apps such as the Android Market.
Also i cant seem to save contacts.
I dont know if there are apps that doesn't support a2sd but i just gave a try to Lookout Security and it does work as expected and i also can save contacts without any problem.
My guess is that you have something wrong with your SD card partition, read again the Readme.txt for "how to" partition it and before flash again the build, give a wipe from Clockworkmod menu.

yeah i think that's what i will do.
Although i followed all the steps - im sure i must have gone wrong somewhere.
I was also finding that some of the games dont save my progress.
I'll let you know how i get on.
Thanks for your help
thanks for this rom seems to be the best desire rom,only one thing can you increase usb transfer speed?Markinus has done this with his rom,thanks again
Thanks
Anyway USB transfer it is already patched, though i've seen that it is slow while using Multi Mount SD card.apk, can't go over 2,00 mb/s.

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.
