Just trying to make an easy access to android.
Note Android porting to polaris is under development so some things doesn´t work, versions change quickly (this is not a bad thing!) and sometimes something work for most ppl but not for all! devs may not try to correct this specific issues yet as we are on an early stage and maybe those specific issues get corrected as we advance
Bluetooth not working yet.
LATEST NEWS
-15-09 improved camera quality, should work well now (i still need to start cam on winmo in order to work well)
-Working camera, manual zoom
-Improved battery duration
I´m not a dev, we just need to thank newbie16, bally3, DJ_Steve, dzo, imfloflo...
I think it is impossible that testing this would harm any device, however you do it by your unique responsability
Installing Android with Wifi on Polaris: the easy way updated:15-10-09
0) Delete all android related files before trying the bundle. previous data.img should be deleted
1) Download and unzip android full http://rapidshare.com/files/293363380/android-15-10-09.rar
note that now any bundle can run with wifi on polaris. please check post #4 for bundles
2) Open default.txt and search for "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1" (it´s a small file)
There are 2 different polaris and you should change this value according to yours.
POLA200 (rounded bottom) 0 or 3 (3 prefered) http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/htc/htc-touch-cruise-01.jpg
POLA100 1 or 2 http://www.infotec-service.com/shop/images/HTC/htcCruise00.jpg
3) Copy the files to the root of your sd card
4) run Haret.exe from your polaris
ISSUES
audio on phonecalls doesn´t work
1) you need to make the first phone call.
2) radio 1.59.xx is recommended
3) even with 1 and 2 some ppl still have problems (me for example)
DETAILS
- basefiles-20091009 , zImage-15-10-09, rootfs 15-10-09 and Ion-v1.5-2009-09-12-sdcard (system)
FLAVORS
- Ion´s Google-polaris-Ion-2009-09-12.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/280093611/Google-polaris-Ion-2009-09-12.rar
(this is devs prefered bundle. if you stay with thisyou´ll probably get more support etc)
- mssmisonpackage-0911.zip (rogers) works FAST.mssmisonpackage-polaris-0911.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/280130360/mssmisonpackage-polaris-0911.rar
(language support .. at least spanish, pdf viewer..and some more goodies)
Won´t give support for other bundles as:
- Hero builds are still "experimental" last one is extremly slow on polaris. not usable
- Other builds aren´t as tested as this and may be more buggy

Wow... Nice Thread. Thx
Good thread !!!
Hi Iseeka,
Very good idea to have this thread.
I'm not an expert but maybe it is important to mention that POLA100 devices usually go for panel type 1, while POLA200 devices usually choose panel type 3.
There is some option in the default.txt file to add the APN settings for data connection, but personally this has not worked for me, since still you have to configure these APN settings in Android Settings once booted.
I saw you are still going to add a link for the downloaded file, so I wonder if it is necesary to explain what to do with system.sqsh... I personally dont know, I have only used system.img files but it would be nice to know how to use them.
thanks for this initiative.
JM
EDIT: OK, after my post, the explanation about Panel type appeard, thanks! In my case I identifyed my Polaris as POLA100 because of the label on the handset after removing battery.

Thanks i hadn't do lot of thing just some haretconsol log and kernel test .
Off for today go to sleep.
Hope this thread will help n00b to install android and will improve the number of people interest on porting android to our device (maybe some devs are here..)
Will try.
Thanks
Hi!
Thanks for trying to keep a clean thread with updates, etc.
Is it possible to have a 4shared link for the files? I can't access rapidshare...
Is it a hero build in your second post or just a cupcake?
If it isn't, do you know if is it possible to make one?
A question for the developers : it's a good thing to keep the system file in .img format I think. When I tried squash fs version, it seemed to be slower.
Do you know if it's only on the Polaris? Because they all use squash fs build on vogue and kaiser...
Wifi not connecting with WPA2 in this build
Hi. I want to report that with this ION build u posted (very good and fast AFAICS) wifi goes ON but I can't connect with my AP protected with WPA2. With Cyanogen with zImage alpha5 and wifi.ko IRQ 18 no probs instead. Later (now I'can't) I'll try this build with that wifi.ko and I'll let u know. See u

I think Cyanogen has wifi driver built-in.. (if you talk about bally´s modded cyanogen has driver built in).
Can u please delete wlan.ko, boot again and see if wifi still works? In that case wlan.ko is inside system.img and we have better wlan.ko (18 or the new one wich is better)
If that cyanogen version load the driver from file i´ll update 1st page with your settings

I think is 08/08/09 system.img but I´m not sure. This version is used by developers to test as it´s a stable and tested version.
This is the only build with full wifi support. (Bally3 made 2 bundles (cyanogen and another) with wlan.ko inside the build so updates in wlan.ko are missing
Devs are working on 2 more bundles
1 Newbie16 on a hero based (is going to be complex with sd partitioning)
2 DJ_Steve on a donut version (is going to be without partitioning)

Hi. Excuse my really bad english. Sometimes I can' express what I think!
So, here are my results (only wifi related):
I've wifi starting and connecting with my AP WPA2 protected with:
1) Cyanogen build from Bally
2) KaiserHero build with sense ui with kernel alpha 5 and wifi.ko IRQ 18
With the ION build u posted in the first post of this thread (without changin any file) my wifi starts correctly but doesn't connect to my AP even if I disable the wireless protection. My phone see the AP but dows not connect to it. I hope can help. Bye-

I don´t know about this version. as far as i know the ion build included in my package is the only one that loads an external wlan.ko file.
can you please try if deleting wlan.ko still works wifi? if still works it doesnt load the external one.Or give me link and i´ll check if i can
BTW if it loads external, you can try with wlan.ko and zimage from my bundle (new wlan.ko is improved and also allow to load any compatible kernel)

I´ll try to ask devs but it´s strange. I think has been tested with protection. they probably want a dmesg log. you know how to do it? If not please search over other advanced threads as this one is intended as an easy access to android.. i will try to help you there too

after i;ve done all that and start booting into linux (black screen with penguin) it says sd card not found
@syto203 is your phone rom WWE or specific language?
Since I posted a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675311 and nobody could help me. I spent the past 5 days trying to get it to work and did it successfully (through haret).
Here's how to did it:
1. Download this .RAR I put together that includes:
-Eclair
-haret
-default.txt
2. Edit the "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480" part of the "default.txt" to your needs. (either 320/480 or 240/320)
3. Put the content of the folder "android-orbit2-eclair" to the root of your SD card so it should be something like this:
Code:
-(D:) SD Card [COLOR="Red"](root)[/COLOR]
--conf
--media
--default.txt
--haret.exe
--initrd.gz
--rootfs.img
--system.sqsh
--zImage
4. Navigate to the SD Card (start>programs>file explorer>storage card) and click on the "haret.exe"
5. Once that has loaded up click "run" (about 3 lines down on right side)
6. Just wait, Give it chance to do its thing and simple... Android running on your XDA orbit 2.
any problems, reply to this thread and I will try to fix.
Thanks, James

If you read the title it says for XDA orbit 2 not touch cruise.
Have you managed to get gprs/3g working with this? I can't seem to get mobile web working on my XDA Orbit II
I dont know whart u are doing here.
But i can use myns donut and eclair totally easy without modding something.
I just have to use the right "default.txt"...
Most packages you find here habe a "default-polaris.txt" in it or you use the one form myn ... It works great for the orbit 2 too
.....
But maby i dont get what you are doing here.. some special build or something?
BUt running android on orbit 2 is net a problem at all just use right conf.
-----------------------
@moondemon
Wifi works with myns eclair and donut. There are fixes (androidupdate.tar) you have to use (nomorootfs)
could u tell me which version have u installed? 1.6?
I succeeded installing the 1.6 version. but when I was trying installing the latest version, I was stucked at the screen which requires me to long-push the dpad center button. I did it but didnt work. I've even tried every keys, still didnt work.
could u give me a hand on it?
I have tried myn's and default-polaris does not work on my xda orbit 2. Also when I do get haret to run I have had trouble actually getting android to boot due to a continual "power wakeup" message. The default-polaris results in a flashing white screen for me. This config is the only config that actually works on my orbit 2.
Hello, i am just a newbie on Android for Polaris, so plz forgive me dump postings At the moment i am a bit spacy what i have to put together to work Android on my XDA2.
android-orbit2-eclair works on my XDA2 after installing but:
phone can't do outgoing calls:
3G can`t connect,
Cam/Gallery crashes
Wifi works.
Touchscreen works and all the rest.
before i installed the recent builds of froyo and eclair
System shows 10-15 min nice boot flash, then it works, but touch screen doesn`t work.
Anyway all the developers doing a great job here!

Im not using sd haret anymore. If you try with nand flash (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024) everything works like a charm.
But as i used haret on my Orbit2 i was good with the package myn offered in her donut(or eclair im not sure).
In the package were a default.txt and a one for polaris/Orbit. I changed the polaris one to default (renaming) and it worked.
I think it was the donut package and it worked with zimages for eclair too.
Try this package if it works its worth a attemp to look into the default txt for other builds.
But atm i would suggest to give android at flash a try. Its almost perfekt for daily use if you not to much with some special programms on winmo.
As far as i read there are problems with haret atm gernerally that programms close even if install is fine.
Seems that flashing is the solution to all my problems, but
can you try to explain what makes the difference between haret and a NAND flash install relatet to the runing system?
Unfortunaley my XDA Obit2 is the carrier of my beloved navigation software. The other Wimo apps are junk compared with android. If there is a offline solution for Car Navigation on android, i could kick Wimo into the trash bin. Also i am a Linux user as well on my PC

I stuck these sections of
I've tried it and it seems it works, but I have a few questions and one major problem:
1. I installed the systems without the SIM card. When I started it again with SIM card, system says that the PIN I type is wrong altough I know that it's correct. How to solve it? Maybe it is so because I'm not O2 customer?
2. Is it possible to boot Android automatically without flashing NAND?
3. Can I theoretically Install Donut or Froyo using this method simply by putting different Zimage in the folder?
4. Do I have to perform another installation in case of buying a battery of more capacity? I saw that default.txt contains information about the battery.
5. May it work well If I change default.txt to the one prepared by atools?
Thanks for advance and greetings.
Double post, sorry.

Doesnt work for me ive left it about 20 mins and its still just a black screen. The first 1 worked but was slow.
hello, which rom is the best for o2 xda orbit 2 pola 200?
For some reason I can't get my Polaris to run the latest Android version (i.e. Froyo).
1. Downloaded latest kernel (polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh)
2. Downloaded last build (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS10)
3. Put last build (.tar or .tgz file) on SD card in directory /andboot
4. Flashed by using NBH file together with RUU Update Utility
Now it gets tricky:
a) or the system reboots, vibrates twice, I see a red and blue line and then a black screen and nothing;
b) or the system reboots, I get the Android installation menu after pressing middle button, install, but after soft reset I get a "No such file found" kind of system error
Can someone help me getting Android on my old Polaris? Thanks!

Same for me with polaimg-panel3-320, but it works great with polaimg-panel1-320-24-05-10.nbh
Thanks! Got it working with the older NBH file. Not completely flawless, but it works!
Don't use the old polaris panel 1 nbh, instead download the latest and then use this utility to change it to panel 1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689812
Thanks!!! Got it working with the latest NBH files! Great!!!
Hey, Could anybody unswer me on two questions.
1. why we have to change from panel3 to panel1 in this nbh file?
2. what is that mean panel3 or 1? why DZO do this type of the nbh (with panel3 i mean)?
thanks a lot, ithin it will helps not only me but everyone in future who didn't know about this modification

The panel type depends on revision of your polaris, more specifically the make of the lcd panel, see here. I just tried every panel until I found one that works, I use panel 1.
Thanks a lot, but could you please answer me again. How i will know what kind of LCD panel in my Polaris and which number i should use?
these parameters is placed in my start-up file for the haret launcher
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 hw3d.version=1"
boot
can i use panel type from here?
i have opened this polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh file in NBH editor and saw that the HW3D is set in Eclair. Should i change this to Froyo or left as is?
Thanks a lot for the conception)))
pannel type 1...
Did I brick my Polaris?
Well, it makes me laugh looking at the last post dated back July 2010 but I decide to post anyway because I feel somebody might have passed through my problems and might help.
Following indications on this forum:
1. I downloaded:
- Kernel: polaimg-panel3-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh
- Last build: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages
2. Put last build (androidinstall.tgz) on SD card in directory /andboot
3. Used RUU Update Utility to flash the nbh file
Everything when smoothly. When it reboots, it vibrates, "Smart Mobility" message shows up, vibrates twice and then a blank screen is displayed.
Going through this forum I think I might have used the wrong type of panel and should have used Panel 1 instead of 3. So I downloaded Windows NBH Editor and managed to change the nbh into Panel 1. Then I shall try again.
This time my Windows 7 is unable to recognize my Polaris and all it can see is a new Disk Drive with no ADB device displayed. So I installed PdaNet302.exe to implement the USB driver for HTC Android Phone but it still cannot see my device and the process aborted.
What worries me is that one step of the process requested to change a setting on the Polaris (On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.). Obviously I can't do that as the screen is completely white!
I believe if I can manage to have my PC talking with my device then the problem will be fixed with the panel1-based flash. But every attempt to install the USB driver for Android Phone regularly fails on my PC.
All that time the Polaris remains with the lighted blank screen and there is no way to turn it off as the on/off switch refuses to work.
Shall I buy a new phone? Thanks for your help.
Did you try flashing the phone with a regular oficial HTC rom? just try it. Put the phone in the boot mode (press camera button and another one, dont recall which one) It will change to the tri color screen. Then connect it and try it.
Also there is a modified nbh rom which includes nothing, just the tool to recover your rom. Do a search to the forum.
I recently tried to install on my Polaris and it went really wrong. And finally could recover. The file is called ROMUpdateUtility_task29. I will erase everything on the phone but later you will be able to recover it
Form that point no more experiments. Polaris was made to work with Windows Mobile. It's really unstable, video camera is useless. And so on.
PC Carvalhon rom and I can use my phone as I want.
regards.

A second life for my Polaris
Kafkacell,
1. Following your suggestions, I successfully started the bootloader (camera touch while reset), the 3-colour screen appeared, Windows 7 recognised the device. I then flashed the offcicial RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship and everything successfully completed. With enormous pleasure I see again my Polaris back to activity. Thanks for giving my Polaris a second life.
2. Back to Feb 2009, I flashed a pcarvalho eXtreme ROM. I don't recall any longer the version of this ROM but it was very stable and never ever crashed. Recently I downloaded and flashed most recent ROMs. From that moment on, I have no peace. It crashed 2, 3 times a week. Now I wish I could go back to the old version but couldn't find it. Perhaps pcarvalho removed them to save space? May I ask you which pcarvalho eXtreme ROM version do you currently run. Thanks.
Im currently running 29022 version (latest update from PCCarvalho).
Notes:
UPDATE:
29022 is up
this is a fix release...sound issues should be gone...had to remove htc volume control is it still has issues...fixes minor gfx glitches...updated to lastest and probably final leak version of wm6.5.3 (29022)...will from now on work on unresolved issues and finalize rom...this will still take some time due to work...
updated physics engine and utask app by ultrashot...my thanks to him...
patched htc album to novsync, faster scrolling once cache is made...
removed no longer supported apps (my phone and marketplace)...if u need them install via cab...
Here is the link for the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15707730&postcount=8079
it was posted on July of this year, and so far it runs great. The trick is to not install a lot of apps in your main memory. Do it on your SD card. Also a hard reset is a must to avoid all kind of problems.
regards and glad you have your phone back to life
TO ALL PEOPLE:
PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!
I start with thread with a information for all users:
Haret system sucks so if you want a full working android system left windows behind you and move to the new android world flash on nand.
With this how-to you will not erase any part of your system but you do at your own risk.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone
sd card (1 Gb or more) 500 mb free
time

Do we have to delete/remove the install-seq.sh after installation?
Are both files (system & data) cleared with the installation script?
Thanks for the help.
install-seq.sh disable automatically after correct install.
This how-to is fir first install on disk on images so it format both data an system.
If you want to make only un update use bsg select partion and select update.

I believe you should make this sticky

hi there..
i solved the problem..i took an older Z image..and working fine
the problem is that more applications like camera..media player screen adjust don't work..
they try to run..(i mean ..in camera..i can see..but appears a messages with stop working..sorry). i don't know why..
nothing work well
and what about the contacts..how can i get them from my Sim card?
i don't know..
if you can help me will be great.
thx allot for yours assistance.
best regards.
The information from sim card are very limitated (neither pin code works) so if you want to export contact sync before starting with google and configur your google account on android.
old zimage are full of bugs and all developers install android on nand so starting android from haret has many unfixed bugs.
I've been playing around with the haret install for a week or so now, and I've found that, for me at least, it makes a huge difference which initrd.gz file I use.
The one dated 22-05-10 doesn't let me install any zImages newer than 29-04-10. After trying all sorts of combinations of base files with different dates (haret, zImage) and additions to the default.txt, changing the initrd.gz file to the one dated 20-02-10 fixed most of my problems and lets me install the most recent zImage files without a glitch.
No clue why, just that it works.
I'm running a Pola100 with the original WM6.0 ROM still on it, and radio version 1.58.25.14. Yeah, I need to upgrade to at least the official WM6.1 ROM and probably something better. But I'm a newbie at this, so I need to work up some courage first ;-)
hello,
I tried to install android on sd following your instructions, everything seems to go well until the screen where it says:
"Welcome to htc vogue Frøya
touch the android to begin "
I'll try, but the touch does not work, I tried using the d-pad, which does work, but I can only select the language and the emergency call.
zImage as I used: zImage-Frøya-15-07-10
androidinstall.tar as I used: Incubus26Jc's Super Frøya RLS11 Themed
please help me because I would switch to Android!
thanks

where can I find it?
thanks
I tried it unsuccessfully. Boot starts regulary, always ending on repeating error, looping forever.
I can read something like:
==============
ERROR no local apt for prog ... replying anyway
...
Setting function 4 for gpio ... that I don't own
==============
Is it related to which system file ? Loader? Kernel ? Or what ?
Thanks
What did you use for your installation?
I used the files mentioned at the very beginning of this post.
Regarding zimage: zimage-24-05-10
Like i've posted in the setup thread from Liquid, this setup is the best i've tried until now, the only one that make missing call an old history in fact
Another better than ever pola 100 nand / nand setup
Download rom (5.5 version - 6 doesn't work with polaris kernel) : Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) [16.03.2011] and put it on your sdcard in a directory named andboot (at the root level)
with atool download the latest 2.6.32 kernel, modify it as desired
flash your unlocked phone following this tutorial or use atool scripting ability
update needed : none
work : everything except camera !!!! very smooth and very reliable(no missed call for 1 week, that's a revolution) and not so bad battery life
finally, development kernel seems to be not so far from "ready to production" status, with even better nand stability
we're waiting rom update and next krazykilla's kernel with polaris support, for a better stability and ability tu put data on ext4 partition
Thank you to scooter, liquid nr2jt and all androidhtccrew for their tuff work
Nand is not perfect and run corruption sometime that crash your setup : use the nand startup "backup/restore" data ability after you have configured your rom and favorite applications, to avoid loss of everything : it will create a 256Mb image of nand memory in your SD card /andboot directory that you can restore later in case of crash.
you can increment this backup later if you are happy with future modification of your rom
TIPS : noticed that setup as it is is good enough, people at cyanogenmod know their business
- Tip 1 : in atool, you can try to increase advanced battery capacity to improve accuracy because N2jrt has noticed battery calculation is not good and there's a correction factor of 1.6 to apply (i put 1900 but you can increase to 2200 in theory)
- Tip 2 : you can download Roguetool from the market to overclock your phone
- Tip 3 : try the app named killerauto from the market, it does a very good job with very comprehensive settings to free your ram in real time (and increase battery life)
- Tip 4 : In cynogenmod parameters/performance : check the "keep home in memory option" and activate compcache (10%) to get better result - i don't activate JIT
- Tip 5 : i've noticed that's the battery widget is cause of some trouble sometime, you can get rid of it in this case
what's next
- make polaris' atool development kernel compatible with release 6 : thx to scooter and liquid by advance
- Make crazykilla kernel with ext4 support available for polaris (release from his #54 thread doesn't work for me) or maybe unified every kernel to get the best one
crazykilla's kernel is a usual kernel without the polaris support compiled, i don't know why the #54 version don't work and i can't test it anymore (my polaris has a toasted nand).

maybe i missed something
Blinking screen
I've tried it with my XDA Orbit II and all I get is the white blinking screen after running haret. It's written in the man that it takes a lot of time, so I left it and went to sleep When I woke up, the screen was still blinking the same way and had to remove the battery to reboot. WM booted fine, there were files system.img and data.img created on the microsdcard of the size of 300mb (I don't want to flash it on NAND as it is my first attempt to install new software on phone). I tried Froyo, now trying Eclair and after an hour it looks the same. What might be wrong? Should I try stable kernel or other setups?

i don't know such setup sorry, i work on nand only to get real speed
I don't want to try flashing on NAND until I find a setup that would satisfy me and work well as I would in practice lose the phone for some time while trying to make it work. So far I've succesfully installed this, but I can't make the PIN code work. I tried to disable it in WM in phone settings, but when I do it, it requires me to enter the PIN, and doesn't accept it, just as Android does :/ Does the PIN code problem occurs in NAND installation as well?
this setup is really not ready. i tried so many times and it always hangs and at the end you'd be reinstalling the system back. I'm sticking back to the Not-So-Super-Froyo setup and has since found it to be very very stable although no camera and no GPS working on it. Just a bit of tip to all those who try and occasionally reinstall, after you have found a good stable setup, install your basic favorite apps and games, then get reboot the phone, access the Android Boot Menu and choose Backup Data on the choices. The system will save your stable setup on an image file on your sdcard. So anytime you have a system crash, you can just choose to Restore Data from the Boot Menu. Saves you a lot of installation.

yes if i remember well my past haret experience, i had to deactivate PIN in WM to make android work

what kernel do you use ? i use liquid's 2.6.25 + kernel update
I finally follow your advise and came back to "not so super" and begin to use the "backup data" function...
The best setup so far
I've tried deactivating in WM, but that doesn't work as I've written above. I also tried to disable PIN using my friend's LG AT&T and it didn't work either so I guess I have to try some PC software or go to my service provider and ask them to do it. Thanks for replies.

lol i've read about the 2.6.25 working camera several times yet i chose to follow the blunt idea that "everything current is best ever" setup.
Anyway ill follow your advise now hehe and finally will have a working camera back again. anyway we have a backup hehe. Thanks man!!!
by the way, i liked your post title a lot haha.

yeah that's why i try other roms today (i'm in a rom rush ) to see if situation is better with backup trick
i saw the great nr2jt say in a topic that he save is data every morning to prevent its loss
that's why i give another try with scoot 5.5 with liquid's 2.6.32
Hey liquid do something for us to use 6 release
post 1 updated
After numerous builds+kernels, loads of frustration (and the inevitable revert to wm for a while) I think I like this setup. Simplicity at its best, Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) and latest 2.6.32 from atools as per 1st post. Just re-purposed the camera button as 'home'. Even my headset works, albeit intermittently.
Which settings for ATools for pola200?
Hi,
i tried to install this rom on my german pola200. But on the Linux Bootscreen the text is scrolling down and sayes that it installs the rom. But than it scrolls down error messages.
I tried this for houres but it shows no final error or something. The Text is scrolling on and on.
So i think that i used the wrong settings in atool. I used this tutorial to set up atool: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
What settings should been used?:
- What version to select?: Donut, Eclair or Froyo?
- Best settings for sd-card-partition? I used first partition 3 gb fat32, second partition 1 gb ext2.
- where should i install system and data? Both on second sd-partition? Or should there be a third partition? (the first time i tried to install the system on intern memory but install runs out of space)
Can you please explain the right settings in atool?
best version is froyo.
to choose sd-card partition, you must have your sdcard PREPARED beforehand. Atool does not partition your sdcard for you. As of what to use to partition your sdcard you can search it at google. (im sorry im a little bit short on time now). choose NAND on both system and DATA.
atools has sd partioner inside so you can repart sd card (boot script editor Y), but the sdcard must have only one partition on it (fat32).
i stand corrected thanks l1qu1d.
