B. Before install :
1. Format your SDCARD make 4 Partition with recommended size:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 300MB )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / 300MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / 300MB)
Be sure make all 4 partition primary
2. extract and copy folder npkboot to root of sdcard and put in kernel that you like (I use kernel 1295 on my Raphael and it very good).
3. copy FroyoB_Hercules.zip in to root of sdcard.
C. Install:
1. run Haret, and wait when it will be asked to press "Volume Down" shortly (!!important!! shortly) to launch
ClockworkMod Recovery or any other key to usually continue booting into Android.
Press volume Down and wait for menu Recovery.
2. In menu recovery choose "install zip from sd-card" choose zip from sdcard and select "FroyoB_Hercules_V2_final.zip"
Confirm installation . after installation finish, Confirm installation then back to main menu (press ok key) and
choose: reboot system now.
3. Run HARET again and boot into Android.
when you report a bug please do it in this format:

anyone tested this?
im coming from HD2, and wondering why you need all the 4 diffrent partitions? which program do you recommend to do this?
can you post any screenshots? would like to see before i go ahead an try

The four partitions are laid out..
"1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 300MB )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / 300MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / 300MB)"
However, cache is not necessary - especially not 300mb. I think neopeek recommended 50mb, but I don't think it's necessary at all.
Other builds in this section of the forum require only one FAT32 partition. This is because the data & system are just loop mounted.

For creating partitions I recommend this:
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
it's free and very useful

EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition for Windows is the fastest tool I've used. Haven't had any problems.
You need the partitions on your SD card because this ROM is in CWM format and will install to those EXT2 partitions (/system, /data, /cache). The order must be:
1. FAT32 (FAT32)
2. /system (EXT2)
3. /data (EXT2)
4. /cache (EXT2)
BE SURE TO REMOVE THE "/" WHEN NAMING THE PARTITIONS!! (I.E. "system", not "/system")

EASEUS is fantastic, I forgot it did ext2 as well. I use it to resize NTFS partitions all the time!

Can anyone confirm it working on Sprint TP2? and what does and does not work?
Thanks guys!

I installed on a Sprint TP2 last night but haven't really had a chance to drive it full throttle. Did try turning on BT unsucessfully. Getting longer life than FRX06 so far. Usually I have to charge before my 8 hour shift is done. Today I was able to go 11 hours with moderate use and still had 68% showing on the meter when I had a reboot to windows while trying to update an app. We'll see how it goes the next few days now that all of my apps are installed thanks to TB.

i keep on getting an issue with no signal. I did all the steps successfully but when it loads i get no signal. and then on reboot i get signal. I rebooted once again and now i have no signal what so ever. am i missing a step?

been using this for a couple of days...
device: at&t tilt 2
kernel: wistilt2
testing period: 3 days
battery: one full day... charge all night
signal... weak at times
system speed: awefully slow... worse then looped
3d: not terrible not great.. to be expected
conclusion: not for me.. too slow.. spotty signal... not the best battery life.. have seen better...

ok, now i know.
but i want to fix android to my lil´brothers TP2, and wondering what ROM i should use? which one is the most stable, and complete - and closest to stock? any good HTC sense roms?

Closest to stock and Sense do not go together. Sense is an abomination, horrid UI for Android. I don't get why it made WinMo so great but Android so horrid.
I recommend FRX06 myself, 07 is going to be out soon (promise!)

Actually I'm having one small problem... the android marketplace is only displaying like a few hundred apps...
I need to do some more research to find out why... so if you want me to fix it first or there are quite a few alternative marketplaces u can install... one I use on it right now is called--- 1 mobile market...
If you don't care I will send u the zip to try... it has gapps...
Just pm your email address

sooo, been testing this for a few days on my Rhod100... and have to say it pretty much sucks...
signal drops to 0 quite often, i get random reboots when trying to call someone / in call / when hanging up, apps that use the inet connection force close when i lose data connectivity (meebo, xda, gmail), the font is _horrible_ (yes i know, fontchanger is included, but it doesnt work the way one would expect it to)
to sum it up, it's like a F1 car without a steering wheel.. fast, fun for the first minute, but completely useless
going back to FRX06 looped and finally deleting NP from my favs
edit : forgot to mention the new audio code isnt integrated, so you cant use the new .39 kernel, but thats just the icing on the ****cake

You have to choose your startup.txt according to your device,there should be a folder called startup,check inside for your device and copy it where there's haret.exe

[01 FEB][DAF]ManusFreedom-Froyo[NAND&data on SD]based on[NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G NAND]

[01 FEB][DAF]ManusFreedom-Froyo[NAND&data on SD]based on[NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G NAND]
It's for Leo512 users who want a data (data.img) storage on SD card.
It's the tytung version (NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9G_NAND) updated:
- No Data on NAND.
- data.img (ext) in .data/ of root of SD Card (FAT32).
- data.img sizable (bigger or smaller) with .data/data.config of root of SD Card.
- Auto-upgrade data.img from the previous version.
- Include Recovery.
- Integrated last version software (market, maps, goggles,...).
- Integrated last kernel from tytung.
- Modified partition layout to be compatible with recovery system of RaiderX (but data will not be backuped because it's not on NAND, but you can duplicate .data/data.img on SD card to get a backup)
For information, I will not modify Android components, I will only update some with last market version.
Why? Because I have not thoses skills .
My current skills are limited to:
- partition
- boot part
- kernel
Created this thread to support my version of tytung android rom (NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9G_NAND: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10361304#post10361304)

Looks good - nice and clean thanks.
Had a few FCs trying to bring up the gallery - working now but v e r y s l o w to show images when going stright in to the gallery or via the camera. Is this to be expected or a known issue.
Great work though. Apart from this it seems very nice and stable!

Very stable!!! My first NAND install and I'm sought of afraid to change it because it runs so smooth
One question about WIFI tethering however. Does anyone have it working?

I have this problem with Gallery 3D too. How many image have you your SD?

2 days ago you updated the build with a new kernel, whats new ? is it worth to change to the new version ?

Sorry for the date on the thread, but I think it's the same.
But for your information you can reflash your NAND because data are not on the NAND. (always do a backup anyway )

Hi manusfreedom,
Thanks for this little beauty!
I am sorry if this seems like a real noob question (it could be I am having a very bad blonde moment!!) but I can't find the rom-zip file to install the new build, or have I got this totally wrong!?!?
FYI...I successfully completed the steps to have recovery installed but then I could find the build file/s on my sd card to install.
Where could have I gone wrong??
In the interim I reinstalled NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND via the original MAGLDR method.
Thank you...
(smiles sheepishly)

You could install my ROM in the same way as NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND.
It will just take some time at first startup to create the 1GB data.img.

[BUILD] [GingerBread] CM7 from Neopeek!! Dev Preview ClockworkMod!

Hey all,
Wanted to post CM7 here for everyone to enjoy.
Neopeek has been working hard to get this build up and running, he's been doing great work!
Neopeek's Original Post - if you wish to see Neopeek's original post about the CM7 topic.
Also, since now I am using his new ClockWordMod method - CWM Recovery thread
As is stated in the title, this is mainly for devs/testers. Lots of things are broken, and there will be frequent updates.
There are two methods to using this build:
1) ClockWorkMod (requires 3 separate ext2 partitions)
2) Loop'd system.ext2 image (like XDAndroid) [In progress]
The benefit of #1 is a dedicated system/data partition, and *partial* USB mass storage support.
The benefit of #2 is, it's easier .
I still have to work to get #2 up, but I wanted to post #1 ASAP. Lots of work to flesh out the post to, be patient!
I've been holding off on releasing this CWM version of CM7, because I'm still having a lot of bugs with it. Still needs quite a bit of work, but it's getting late for me tonight - I am going to release it, let me know if you guys make improvements, I'd love to incorporate them!
Main issues seem to be related to my durn CDMA device. Need to break into some logs to see what's goin on, it may be a little while! I think GSM folk will be fine. Let me know!
Downloads
Download #1
How-to
Method #1 (ClockWorkMod)
****WARNING****
If you setup dedicated partitions using this method, normal XDAndroid builds will think that you want to use dedicated partitions. I had to modify the init to get it to work correctly (I basically broke the partition detection in the init). It's not pretty, but I don't know of a better way to resolve that issue - let me know what ideas you guys have!
Setup:
You will need to create three (3) ext2 partitions on your SD card. This is not extremely simple, but by no means impossible .
If you're using Windows, I like the Mini Partition Tool. If you're in Linux, I usually use gparted.
This takes a little bit of planning - but in total, I would say you need a minimum of 450mb of space for all three ext2 partitions. So work out how much free space is left (if you want a bigger data partiton, or system partition account for it!) and make that the first partition - FAT32. Make sure all the partitions are "primary", not "logical"! See the partition layout below:
1 - FAT32 Primary (remainder of card)
2 - ext2 Primary (at least 150mb, system partition)
3 - ext2 Primary (at least 250mb, data partition - I wouldn't go over 1gb here)
4 - ext2 Primary (at least 50mb, cache partition)
Don't worry about putting anything in these ext2 partitions, everything is populated by Android and CWM. The FAT32 partition is used to kick off Android, while system, data and cache are all ext2 partitions. Reason for this is, hopefully if things go haywire we can blast out cache, not data . Also, it should be easier to update using this method than previously.
Extract the file. Look at the folder it created (npkboot). Copy the entire npkboot folder to the root of your SD (for now this is required - the init assumes there's a /sdcard/npkboot/tmp folder). There will also be an update.zip, in this case update-cm-7.0.0-neopeek.zip. Put this at the root of your SD card (this makes finding it in the menu much easier!)
Copy the appropriate startup.txt from the STARTUPS folder.
Find haret.exe in th npkboot folder. Run it, and watch the boot process carefully! It will ask you to hold the vol down button to enter recovery, and you have 10 seconds to do so.
Assuming you manage to do this correctly (I had some trouble at first ) you should see an icon like a hat. Wait for the menu.
Buttons:
End key - back (back button seems to do this as well...)
Send key - enter
Vol up - up
Vol down - down (menu button seems to do this as well...)
If this is the first install, go to "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip from sdcard" This will install the system image to the system partition from the update.zip.
If you need to wipe the data partition, you can do that under "mounts and storage". You shouldn't need to do this unless you're going from gb -> froyo or visa-versa. Froyo -> froyo should 'just work', as always YMMV.
There are A LOT of options in replimenu. The only ones I have used are install, format /data, /system or /cache and Reboot. According to Neopeek, there are several things that should not be used:
Neopeek said:
* Don't use "factory wipe" in CWM (you have been warned )
* Don't use "format sdcard" unless you know what you do (you have been warned )
* Don't use "partition sdcard" unless you know what you do (you have been warned )

Once you've installed Android, go back to the main menu and "reboot system now" There are some bugs, for example "reboot recovery" and "power off" all just reboot the phone to WinMo.
Boot haret again, but this time don't hold the vol down to enter recovery - boot as normal!
#2: Much simpler method, similar to XDAndroid builds.
Extract the file to your desktop. Go into the CM7 folder, look for the STARTUPS folder - grab the appropriate startup.txt, move it to where haret.exe is.
Copy everything in the CM7 folder to the root of your SD card - if you want to run it from a folder, create a rel_path=CM7 statement in your startup.txt after the set cmdline (if you want a different folder, change the CM7.)
Grab the ts-calibration file attached to this post (for RHOD), or go to this post for a list of ts-calib's. You can also create your own on boot, but may have to revert to an older kernel to do so.
Run haret.exe!

****Not Working****
CDMA seems broken - still! I did some testing with hyc's RIL and it's still busted, so there's something in the system image messing with it - Airplane mode was checked, and I could not uncheck it.
In addition, phone.apk seems like a forceclosefest. Neopeek did point this out in his original thread...
Mobile data - broken (Fixed soon)
Wifi - broken (Fixed soon)
System needs optimization for RHOD - was originally build with DIAM in mind - so it's a little slow.
Failed wakes seem pretty bad - sometimes it is quite difficult to wake the phone.
Boot animation seems to be not present - I'm looking into fixing it, probably graphics libs if anything that's broke it.

Dev Content
This new method should be great for anyone who wants to make their own updates - you can easily peek into the system image and make changes at will, then just install the new system image! You can even rolll updates instead of an entire system image if you wish.
The script language in ClockWorkMod is called "Edify", see this thread to learn about the syntax. This is related to the META-INF folder you see in the update zip.
There's a few differences in the rootfs', the main being the init. There's also some additional files it looks like neopeek added for Recovery specifically.

This is amazing work. Props to all involved.

Does anyone have any feedback on this build?

Long story short, you need a ext2 partition and a fat32 partition - ext2 needs to be between 400-600mb, fat32 can just take the remainder of the card's space.

Is there a reason for the 600mb upper limit? If I use 1 gb, will it cause problems or will it not use it and just waste card space?

PM message
Arrrgh,
Disregard the PM I sent you.
I read the instruction and like you said, its not simple. So I will wait until you upload the easy to run load.
Thanks

You can make it as big as you want I guess... I'm not sure how neopeek sets up the data partition to be honest, I'd have to ask him.
Edit - in lieu of the post below, I adjusted the first post to say it needs to be at least 400mb .

Is easy just use mini tool partition wizard,delete the main partition on the sd-card
and do two,one fat32 primary and one ext2 primary,then extract the archive and put the proper startups in npkinstall and in root
from the phone run install.exe
and after the reboot use haret.exe

I wonder if CDMA data is working with this...that is my biggest issue with GB right now...

- made primary fat32 and ext2 partitions
- extracted the file cm7new.tar.gz to the root of the fat32 partition
- got a lot of linux folders
but i am missing
- npkinstall folder

I was looking at that too when extracted the files and didn't see what you are also missing.

Sorry about the confusion guys, I probably shouldn't have put the download link up before I was done .
I just fixed it, so #1 is good to go! I'll get #2 up later, thanks.

Another noob question, but the rootfs, kernels, oc, etc from the xdandroid builds will work the same on these?

(...solved...)

it's necessary create a swap partition?
What works in this build?

The rootfs is more or less collapsed in these.
Kernels are straight from XDAndroid repo.
OC is the same, startup.txt is fairly similar .

Swap is not necessary.
Most things that work in XDAndroid work in here. Lots of other things are broken here tho .

Okay, downloaded and installed without problems.
First impressions:
Absolutely great build in terms of response!
No delays in menus, etc.
Also, this looks like the first build that may have little or no clock delay, so no need for clocksync !!! (to be confirmed since I did not use it very long, die to issues below)
However...
1) No WIFI
2) No Mobile data (2G/3G)
3) camera not working (could be just blackstone)
- maybe other issues, decided to wait for more feedback before continuing, without market access there's little point...
Device: Blackstone
Kernel: extensive testing with provided one (1276), later switched to 1277, to fix audiostuttering, no wifi or mobile data in either...
As a reference, used many NeoPeek / XDAndroid builds, generally got WIFI/Mobile data working until now...
Love to hear if someone else (blackstone?) got WIFI/2G/3G working...
Oh, well, as I understood, this was an early "developer" release, still plenty of room for improvements!
Cheers,
Robbert

Problem SD card formating
Hello,
I try format SD card a and create partition but still not function.
What program have I use for formating and creating partition?

On Linux - fdisk, gparted.
On Windoze... don't know many options other than some "Mini Partition Tool"... Win doesn't like to read Lin partitions. At all.
To the OP - perhaps you should provide some guidance here. It's very different from how XDAndroid builds are done, with one giant partition and looped mounts.... much easier for newbies to handle .

That "crazy led" represents sleep.
There's an APK called LEDEffects.apk. This will allow you to customize how this LED is treated. In XDAndroid builds it's in AndroidApps/Other IIRC.

This ROM is really nice!
I have a question for npkboot ROM's. After I run the installation from npkroom directory the installation starts and I can complet it without any problem. If I want to move the content on mpkboot directory into the root directory of my sdcard in order to make the OS start at booting, should I copy all the content of the directory npkboot into /sdcard/? in this case, should I keep two copies of all files one in /npkboot/ and one in /sdcard/? I hope I was clear enough. To make it short, what file sould I keep or/and moove to make this rom start with Gen.Y boot application?
Second question, how could I make the font bigger! It's too small for me

How did you resolved the Volumn Down issue.

Maybe you haven't copired npkboot into sdcard, you will have something like /sdcard/npkboot/ and from there run Haret. Rows will start scrolling down, at a certain point the screen will be cleared and only one line will appear on top saying to press "volume down"

Nope I have have the same. I downloaded the V2. Unzip and put npkboot at the root of sdcard. My location is /sdcard/npkboot/ . So is this correct or I have to keep everything inside the npkboot to /sdcard/

Looking it carefully I am getting this error. Currently only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, Not 255
What does this mean.

Can anyone help me out?

Ah, yea there's no good fix for that. Android/Linux doesn't handle the capacitive panel so well... When I had my RAPH, I remember if you touch from the very outside of the panel/button and ensure the button lights up before you press it - this usually ensures that the button you're pressing is actually picked up.
I've heard of the panel going completely dim, and never responding to touch input. Like I said, that damned panel is not so well supported. Not sure what's wrong with it, other than it's a bad design from the start. I'm sure Linux could handle it better tho... Devs welcome .

As for your first question, Neopeek butchered the rootfs pretty bad so you can't move the folder. Just tell Gen.Y to use the npkboot folder (there's registry settings for Gen.Y...)
As for your second question, lcd.density? Not sure.

[BUILD] XDAndroid Froyo 2.2.2 FRX06 for CWM Recovery 1.8 (ClockWorkMod)

THIS BUILD IS OUTDATED, CHECK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177721
I'd like to "present" my recompilation of XDAndroid FRX06 to work with Neopeek's CWM 1.8
No credit for me, but for all XDAndroid devs and Neopeek &co for this.
It doesn't have any other modifications apart from making it available to install from CWM, so everything that applies to FRX06 is useful here. You're the one to decide if you prefer looped or partitioned installs.
Don't try this if you don't know what you're doing. It's only tested by me, so what I'm looking for are TESTERS. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
Normally it would be easy to return to previous state by repartitioning/formatting SD, but who knows. I take no responsability for any damage to your device.
The instructions for installing CWM are in Neopeek's forum. Only points:
1.- My partition schema, for 8Gb SDCard, is:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 150MB) Contains /system - the base ROM
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 400 MB) Used as device's internal memory. You can use more if you install a lot of non-movable apps, but between 4 and 500 should do.
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 100MB) Dalvik's cache. 100 should be enough
I used Minitool Partition Wizard for the partitioning.
2.- Startup.txt, ts-calibration, kernel and modules must be in the same dir as haret.exe, in this case inside "npkboot" dir.
3.-To move in the CWM menu with our Blackys:
Peteflyman said:
I just toggle between "Reboot system now", push "Vol Up" to get directly to "Power off", and then toggle "Vol Down" to get back to "Reboot system now". I just do that a couple of times then "Back menu button enabled" usually shows up. That's it. Hope it works for you guys as well!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the "back menu button enabled" you can use power off button to confirm menu selection. Just select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard" and choose my zip (ofc, don't uncompress it).
4.- You don't need to install Gapps, they're included in the build.
5.- After installed, "reboot system now" and start haret again. Let it work for a while without touching anything until you see PIN or unlock screen to begin using Android.
6.- I'd recommend rebooting a second time before starting to configure everything...
It should work in any device where CWM and XDAndroid work, but the configurations I attach here are for TOUCH HD (Blackstone). If you want to try with other devices, be careful to use the appropiate config files (they shouldn't be difficult to find in your device's forum).
I'm using 1337 kernel & modules from Glemsom's autobuild and it works perfectly with my device, feel free to use the one that suits you better.
Download link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SUBUG5I8
If you have any problem, I'll try to help, but for CWM problems please ask in their forum as you'll find better assistance.

Huh. I guess I'll give it a shot - I cooked a build with CWM & FRX06, was force close city. Tried to fix it, but not hard... Just chalked it up to CWM being crappy since I was able to run FRX06 on dedicated partitions no problem .

if you want to install any other build,or reinstall frx06,go to recovery,choose mounts and storage,then format data,format cache,format system (don't format sdcard for obvious reasons) and then mount data,cache,system,go back and install zip from sd card,choose your zip.
also if you find a build without gapps,go to cyanogenmod.com and grab it there,you should pich gapps for cyanogenmod 6 because that's the froyo build....MDPI or HDPI doesn't matter in our case
many problems are result of gapps missing (some builds come without them,this one doesn't) such as call rejecting or showing black screen instead of lockscreen when you wake the device,so be sure to install them

Then the only difference you'll notice is that you have CWM recovery Anyway, it works pretty well for me, and since I can now write updater-scripts I'll be able to change things very easily
Edit: Now I only have to learn to compare directories to be able to give incremental updates when FRX07 and so on come out!

just be sure to use a froyo build for your froyo build

you can at least start with
/system
/app (add or remove apps)
/fonts (obvious)
/framework (the "look" of the build is defined here,so if you want your froyo to look like ginger,take some of the ginger files and swap with those in this one)
/media (it'll tell you what to do by itself)
other folders are build regarded and some playing and asking pros is advised here

It's a vanilla Froyo, identical to FRX06, so I didn't think they were needed. Just look at any basic original Froyo install.

If it has no C2, C4 etc then it's a "classless" card. I have several, seems any card below 2gig that was sold before a certain time are classless.

Working on FRX07 update.zip to test if it works with CWM

Hi Eodun,
Looking forward to the FRX07 CWM!
Do you think that it is required that Neopeak updates the roofts to the latests version?
regarding your FRX06 CWM, I have a quick question. It is possible to use my old data.img from the normal FRX06?
I guess that it may be possible to copy it on the data EXT2 partition but I can't access via windows XP.
Also tried restoring using CWM (I did a backup and replaced the data.img), but I get a checksum error. Any way to change the checksum to be able to do it?
Thanks in advance

I don't think so. But if you backup everything with titanium backup and then restore apps, appdata and system settings (only those that appear in green) you'll have everything as before.

Confirm it updates correctly, but there are some problems with the old Kernel/rootfs.
I can't get wifi to work and I can't turn the device off.

@arrrghhh: Yeah, I know the update is available, but ypsmav noticed the problem: I need the new rootfs for CWM, and I'm not able to adapt it. As I said, work is being done for that.

Ps It will be a big problem if latest kernel doesn't boot. I haven't been able to boot with it. Edit: But still have to check if it boots with a clean data.

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

install and run minitool
select your sd-card and erase all partitions.
create a) one partition primary fat32 (the sum of sd-card's mb minus 1533 mb), B) one partition primary ext4 for our android sized 1333 mb , γ) one partition primary linux swap with the rest 200 mb
select apply and wait
you decompress the file ROM and Tools.rar
We change the date of our computer on any date of sept 2011
we run ImageRecover.exe
select restore (normal) and next
search on your computer the disk, the folder that our ROM is stored ( .TBI file) and select it
on the new window select select the last down option
then on the new window select the partition of our sf card to install (this is the medium partition sized 1333 mb (will write next to it MBR1.....linux native) and click onto it and press next
On next window when see "all data on linux native partition lost" press "yes" and wait copying to reach 100%
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

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

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

i think you have mistaken me with ragnarkov
anyway i already downloaded the file
follow the procedure
until trying to restore image
got an error " the image file requires an updated version of this program"
internet id off
antivirus is off
date set to 1 september 2011

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 !!

Where can I download mini tool ?

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.
