M8 Froyo has lot's of bugs , your phone freezes a lot Camera doesn't work but the SD-card (USB) work , VaniljEclair WiFi doesn't work & Camera & the SD-card (USB) doesn't work. On the WarmDonut these stuff don't work "(SD-card (USB), Bluetooth , WiFi , GPS , Camera ) , all of these Androids OS are the latest versions right now & have these problems , Android is a cool OS but too much problems

Back to windows
Oh man i tried and it was sweet to taste a bit of the android on to my phone..
It has got me thinking i have flashed back to windows 6.5 coz the froyo is far to unstable to use everyday.. I wonder if there is any winmo phone that executes
the android sysytem perfectly - and stable - i maybe will get a android G1 to start with.. Kool people..

[PORT][32A][Old radio]Kingclick's Hero Eclair 1.3-EXPERIMENTAL, working 3D (1.3.2010)

For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few).
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one. I can't say I would recommend it for the daily use, it seems too unstable/unreliable to me, but YMMV.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
Kingclick (obviously), ahmgsk, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration works for the most part. Meaning that from what I've tested, I can get Neocore (about 22fps in benchmark), Radiant, Armadillo Roll to run, but iDracula doesn't run for some reason (at all).
- Multitouch works. Multitouch enabled Google Maps 4.0 (by brut) included, the vanilla ones do not have working MT on this ROM.
- Camera works, including touch to focus - no video recording, though
- Youtube normal quality works
- Video playback works at least to some degree - I can play back videos recorded earlier with my phone
- GPS and accelerometer should work
What seems not to work:
- YouTube HD. Sorry.
- Bluetooth doesn't work at all. You can't even enable it, so don't try.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time.
- LED notifications are problematic - had to remove HeroLED to get at least some notifications, but all you get now is green, even if the app uses different color on older ROMs. No charging orange LED, too.
- Google Sync is problematic. After you sign in to your account, it syncs, but you don't get Contacts sync at all. To get them to sync, reboot phone, they'll sync after the reboot. Even then it seems like Auto Sync isn't really working or the rate of checking is quite long - I couldn't get Gmail auto sync to work. You can sync manually without problems, but auto sync seems a no go.
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seems to cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on for days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

(reserved just in case)
i tried it and it doesnt boot. stuck on the rogers screen for over 10 minutes haha. i am on the old radio and 32A.
is there any htc cime ?
or can i push it ?
HTC_CIME is not included, wasn't in Kingclick's original ROM either, sorry. You may of course try to push it - if you have a standalone Donut HTC_CIME, it should work here as well, I think. But don't hold me to it.
Well, i DLed it from mediafire and tried to flash it but im actually getting this error:

Did you check the MD5 to see if the archive is not corrupted?
I'll try to check the file as well ASAP, anyway.
The md5 doesnt match with the one that you posted.
Im going to download it for the third time, but ill use rapidshare instead.
Yeah, the Mediafire file seems corrupted, sorry about that, should've probably checked that (but upload went fine). The RapidShare file seems fine. I'll upload it again ASAP.
Once again, sorry about that.

OK, Mediafire mirror is up again and should be fine now.
Just flashed it, but, after i change the wallpaper it freezez and restart's like a log off not a fully restart - it starts at the nexus boot screen, not mt3g screen.
The gallery is fantastic, works great, the tilt and angle works in the galley smooth but in landscape mode it freezez and/or i cant see anything, the menu flicks with no lag at all, the multi tuch is silky smooth. i'm waiting for another release to be less buggy but for now, for today, it's a keeper.
Running on HTC Magic or Mytouch3G
Love to see Case_ you back in the kernal side of things and porting some great roms.
Thanks heaps and hope you'll keep porting these great roms when they updated.. so many ppl only port one version or two then disappears..
hope to test it later!
seams nice
btw for the backport to 32B I think there might be something wrong with teh wlan module.
when I enable it, the rom keeps on rebooting, so might be something buggy here.
other then that works like a charm and really fast , compared to the original rom without 3d
I honestly don't know what is causing the problems with the wlan module. I've of course recompiled it for the 32B kernel, but still people seem to have problems with it.
But as I've said many times now, I don't own G1 nor 32B and neither have access to one, I've done the port "blind" as a proof of concept for the 3D part and had absolutely no way of debugging it properly. So I'm really sorry if it doesn't work as it should, but I really can't do anything about it. You just have to wait for the proper debugged 32B version of this ROM with working 3D to emerge. Kingclick mentioned yesterday that it's close.
yeah dont worry about it
I just thought I give you some feetback on that
hi...ive tryed this rom but i ve problem to login in google account...i cant in wizard and in impostation and i cant open market...there is a way to fix it?
sry for nab question :V fixed enabling ext4

[SUPER Fast][Phone.apk NO LAG]Holy Crap! Who's rom is this?! Hero2.1 (2.1 + SenseUI)

Edit 5/18/2010
FIRST PUBLIC BETA OF MY EDITS TO THIS ROM ARE OUT! CHECK THEM OUT HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6518000
Mods! Please close this thread! PLEASE do not post in this thread about my Beta! I don't need to be tracking 2 threads!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)
Facebook App and sync - fixed
Camera/Video
Wifi
Widgets (they don't all appear in the add widget list)
Google sync - Partially fixed... still working on it
App list not showing all installed apps - Working on it, still don't have any idea why its happening but I will find out if it kills me

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.
im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.
Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.
He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.
seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

Hi Noolis. Let me tell you that just like you, most people on the HD2 (including me) are waiting patiently for the Android OS to work as perfect as any other native Android Device. The guys on the main thread are working very hard for this to happen.
Just bookmark the following thread and visit it everyday. read the information on the 3rd post, and try their work in progress at your own risk. enjoy
this is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719646
Bookmark it, it'll make it easier for ya!!
i keep gettin a green screen then it freezs, i downloaded the zip to the sd card then i extract all the files then run the haret and it goes all the way to the drawling of the android and about a min. after it gets a green screen , what am i doing wrong please
i got that green screen as well but after a new restart it worked perfectly...
And before that i did have the error message "waiting for SD card" for a long time.
Even I dont know how I get Android running on my HD2...
Maybe just restart and retry, who knows!
Good luck
Android probably won't be working right for a number of months. Its ok though. The apps are nice but WinMo is still ok for apps (no calc on droid is as good as the panoramic one, Igo Primo > Igo Motonav, etc). By the time droid apps are leaps and bounds better, android should hopefully be working great on the hd2.
I say, just peek at it once in a while but don't really worry about it for another couple months.
Can somebody make a video for the new rom out?
How to make the Anroid OS working on the HD2 - Step-by-step instructions, FAQ, Tweaks
UPDATED! Read the informations & FAQs below...
For those who have got difficulty in making the ported Android builds working on their HD2, here is a step-by-step description!
Accessories:
- First thing you need to have is: The newest Jmz Android dual-boot program, which can be found HERE! The program must have installed in the Device memory!
- Another thing you have to have is a freshly-formatted SD Card (I recommend 2GB or bigger, but in theory the Android will work with a 1GB or less (the least is 512 MB) card...)
- A ported Android ROM (e.g. 2.1, Froyo, Desire ROM, usw.) You can find some working builds HERE! (Desire ROM, Froyos, Ubuntu builds)
Instructions:
- Firstly, install the latest Jmz dual-boot app (v3) into the Device memory!
- Download the Android build and copy it into the ROOT of your freshly-formatted memory card! Normally you just have to copy the files into your card, but in some cases you have to copy the whole folder though... (for more infos check out the build's README file, if it has got one)
- If it's needed, RENAME the "zharet" file to "haret" and the only txt file (Unluckily I don't know what its name is at the moment, I remeber to "README.txt" or sgh, but now I don't have any builds in which the name of these files are not these names) to "startup.txt"!
- Instert the card to your HD2!
- Restart your device!
- When the boot-screen appeares and starts, choose the "Boot Android" option!
- Wait for the Android build finally starts up (it takes 2-3 minutes or more, it depends on the ROM)
- Use and enjoy it!
If you still have problmes with the installing, send a PM or reply a comment!
I hope I could help with this.
[Please excuse me if I made any grammatical mistakes...]
IMPORTANT! You're really ought to make a full-system-backup before trying ANY of the ported builds out! (I recommend the SPB Backup, but of course, another backup progs are such suitable... either of them will do it!)
For example one of these builds blew my Sense 2.5 sky-high, and unluckily I didn't do a system-backup before I had tried the ported Froyo build out. As a result, I had to modify and customize my Sense again...
And according to my friend, due to an Android build, his 3G-data connection setup has also been laid down... so be careful, for all that that the most of these releases are "harmless"!
UPDATE (updated at 07/19/10):
For example I've just tired this build: "New Froyo build by dan1j3l V1" (description and DL link can be found here...), and it works very well on my HD2! It is fast, smooth enough, all of the wireless connections are working (just like BT, Wi-FI), and so on... worth a try!
IMPORTANT UPDATES AND FAQs
Q: Some people asked me how could the sound working without starting CLRCAD manually...
A: The Jmz dual-boot application automatically starts it, you needn't do it manually!
Q: Why is it not necessary to run "(z)haret"?
A: The answer is the same: the Jmz automatically does it...
If you have still have issues with the Android builds (e.g. with the backlight), try out these tweaks:
- To prevent your device from freezing when it tries to sleep, set the screen's timeout to 30 minutes in the ANDROID settings!
- Turn off "Automatically adjusted backlight" in the WinMo settings (or in the Sense 2.5 settings, makes no difference), and set both backlight option to 100%!
- UNCHECK the "Dim backlight if device is not used for XY minutes" option, and "Turn off device if it's not used for XY minutes" as well! (At the "On Battery Power" or "On External Power" section, it depends on what power-option you'd like to use your phone in...)
If your build doesn't show, or shows wrong the battery-meter (e.g. your battery is fully charged, but the build shows a "?" mark insted of the precentage or ask you to recharge it, etc.) (... and if it's not able to handle it), download this file and copy it into the root of your SDCard, and replace the original with it!
DOWNLOAD (FTP Mirror)
Unconfirmed tweaks:
- If you are able to run the builds in no way, try to format your SD Card in FAT32 filesys. It answered the problem for some people...
- In theories, HSPL is needed to run the ported Androids, but this assertion is unconfirmed at the moment!
not being funny but shouldn't you have posted this in general as android isn't exactly a theme is it ?
Not it's not a theme but the other half of the thread section is Apps. I take Android as as App when it's not a flashed OS.
just installed android using this guide, very helpful so thanks.
im using 2.2 Froyo build by dan1j3l and it seems to work very well. data connection seems slower then on WM, the battery meter doesnt work (and i cant charge the phone or connect it to the PC) when the phone goes into standby, it keeps the backlight and buttons on. also have the issues that many users are experiencing with calls. also when i reboot into windows mobile, the time and date reset!
just to help people out that maybe dont have much experience with this (such as my self) maybe you could add things such as radio ROM requirements, and perhaps a list of things that arnt working accross all ROMs (i think the call issue would be an example of this). you can find it through searching, but its nice to have it all in one place
if it helps i think you need radio 2.08 or above but not 2.12 (2.11 is the latest radio that works), as well as HSPL installed. the 'green screen' seems to be a big issue, but i just removed the battery and re-inserted it and it worked fine

if you are using any of the android builds ie dans froyo or desire there are a couple of different zimages that you can replace in your android file. these will sort out the dimming isssue and have camera working, calls are perfect on my 2 different versions although 1 has accelerometer & no camera and the other is the opposite way round, battery is charging and indicators are working but i havent tried all the zimages to say what else they have up their sleeve so to say.
In regards to radio it needs to be a min of 2.08.50.* mine is 2.12 and calls are clear as a bell although browser can be a bit of hit & miss at times, it is getting better as different builds come out so well just have to be patient til a rom is eventually released.
i keep getting a green screen after the drawling of the android , it will drawl the android a couple times before the green screen pops up and freezes and i cant find anyone to help me out , ive read the directions but the last pass 24 hrs nothing but a green screen
Excellent guide Kromosome !
But I have the same issue as matthewharmon102.
In plus my HD2 it not responding after going to sleep ...
I'm confident that in the next release some of this issues will be solved.
Thank you guys

Hey everybody!
Some people asked me about the instructions, so I've modified my guide, and I wrote some important informations into it, and I integrated a FAQ section (that will probably increase), which is worth to be checked out!
I've also written down what you should do if your device freezes when you try to awake it, or if your screen goes dull after the Jmz starts installing the "haret", and tries to set the Android OS up!
If you have issues (especially backlight-issues), don't forget to check it out!
Hail Everybody!
As we know the Android developers are working hard to make it run smooth on our HD2.
There still bugs here and there but for sure we will get this great thing smooth like our WM OS soon!
Keep up the great work!

What's the best Android ROM for Polaris?

I am sorry if a thread like this exists but I didn't managed to find it.
I tried different Roms but I can't remember from all which is the fastest.
I am mainly using my Polaris for:
- phone calls
- wifi browsing: Opera Mini/Skyfire
I want the fastest Android Rom that will suit my needs. From your experience what ROM would you recommend me ?
Thanks.
Try to use froyo 2.2 RLS 12, right now i use it on my phone, it is fast naught to do all the usual things without wait. I overclocked my CPU to work at 540MHz (this says Rogue Tools) but it is working at 520MHz really. The market it is working fine, bluetooth also, wifi can be solved to obtain ip, everything is ok. If you wanna more details, PM and i will try to guide you in romanian

2. READ POST1 HERE - DOWNLOAD THE Latest FroYo NBH or ZImage (POLAIMG.NBH) for your panel type, and the RLS12 All Languages Themed (androidinstall.tar).
3. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE NBH Editor v3.5.2 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PROGRAM TO CHANGE THE PANEL TYPE FROM 1 TO 3 OR FROM 3 TO 1.
After you read all the 3 posts from the 3 thread and you download all the files you need you can proceed with the install using the steps described in the point 1.
For solve the WiFi obtain IP adress, after you install successfully the Android on your Polaris, restart it and press the volume button up when booting Android, you will see a menu with some options, select FIX PERMISSIONS menu and wait... after the fix WiFi will work just fine and it will obtain the IP from the network.
Hope this post will help you.
Indeed, I am using since yesterday RLS12. It is pretty ok, some freezes here and there but nothing really important. Sometimes in Market the phone restarts. I thought about overclocking the CPU but I was affraid not to broke it. Is it safe? Is there a performance improvement ? What about battery drain ?
In my case i don't have any problems with freezes or restarting in the Market, but when you change the camera settings application from photo to video then the program stops. About overclocking the CPU, i use it in this way (540MHz) from some time, all is ok, the phone is fast and the battery is not drain, in my case work from 3 days ago and i have use it my phone to calls, WiFi (browsing), Bluetooth (send/receive files).
this last several days i've spent time to try a lot of android build for my device polaris100. here is my opinion about the best adroid build i've tried :
1.Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS13)
the best build for show off to your friend in reality my device's 128 mb ram can't run it as smooth as it should be. too many frezes it work but with limitation. you need to tweak it a bit to make it bearable : 1 launcher page, keep launcer on memory, kill all windows animation. try to move the installed program to your sd might increase the cache files. uninstall those you never use. minimal widget. you might want to overclock your procc at the risk of your beloved polaris.
2. Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8)
It has the bling bling as the froyo build but it works generally alot of better than the froyo one. it work fast out of the box. and if you do the tweak i mentioned above it work alot of more faster. but not as fast as it should be if compared to those official device that came out with eclair.
3. [ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010]
this is the oldest adroid of the two above. but it has the least hardware requirement, in other word it really work as it should be (compared to the device that officially came with it). it just some glitches here and there but it is bear able. I'm having alot of fun with this build.
there is alot of other build that i tried but IMHO those 3 above are the one worth to mention.
hope this help.
CHEERS!

can u tell me, what works and what didnt work, in these androids???
Most stable for Polaris
Hi,
I always testing any incoming releases.
I vote for Incubus Froyo (RLS13 yet). If you don't use lot of screens, widgets, than it is the most stable for daily use. These things are the most important for me and they are work:
- Incoming calls come fast
- Data plan works: Task, Calendar, Contact
- BT carkit works
- Battery: I use sometimes pcarvalho lastest winmo and it drains battery more, than Android.
I think the most freezes are about the low free memory. But I'm on it to get more memory. If I use app and data on SD, I got max 40MB of free memory.
Hey, I got the same impressions of the Incubus RLS13, very stable BUT suffers from a memory problem... well, can't expect too much from the Polaris RAM when compared to the new devices in the market.
However, can u guys tell me if the Launchers (PRO and ADW) should make the phone slower (choppy)? I decided to stay with the stock launcher, apparently works better (apps, screens in/out), but I checked that PRO and ADW don't use a lot of memory.
For example, Tjahjo07, when u say keep the launcher in memory and 1 screen only, which launcher are u referring to?
Cheers!
@grgomes
he means launcher pro.
Tks Phyt. Yeah, I did try the speed-up suggestions, my Pola100 is much faster now.
2 screens LP, keep in memory, people widget and weather only. Minimal freeze and FC so far.
I did however go back to Liquid's 16/07 nbh, the 26/07 from DZO was giving me a lot of charging and booting issues. Seems much more stable now.
Im waiting for a Pola version for the 24/08 nbh from DZO, read some good reviews from people using Vogue...
I flashed Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS14), Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8), Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5], but there is no-one can run in my Polaris smooth.
My suggestion is don't install Android in your Polaris for business. Otherwise, maybe you will loss order or job.
Good Luck Everybody!
VaniljEclair
Use the VaniljEclair an reduce the pages of ADW.Launcher to 1! It works really fast!!! Ive got Pola200. If i flash Incubus Froyo WLAN dows not work. Running the other ROM everything works fine!!! I had 1.6 myns warm donut before. It had benn run from SD Card. By flashing Eclair I got a 2.1 which works as fast as Donut from SD card. Try it! Its great!!!
F1 plz
i read this guide : sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
step by step done, but after install hardSPL, when i'm pressed CameraButton and Reboot, see the tricolor page , and nothing happen. what can i do ?!
@moapz: oh my god .. take a breath, you have posted in all the topics. wait a minute. someone will answer you. i think you are not doing something well. i have did that tutorial some time ago and had no problem with it. it would be better for you to try to install in haret mode first.
Have a nice day.
i have a problem to, when is the bars on the phone what i have to do? i need a program to flash the nand polaris? please help

thanks TrakX.
i installed android NAND on my pola200 and worked. but after some days it goes crazy and according to this forum thresd i could remove old version and now i want to install another stable version, so i read wiki page but all links not worked! or say file not found. so i'm going back to read threads again to find what version is good. but another problem! ; many of this guides uses haret.exe to install android but i cant do this, because i don't have WM on my pola200 to run it. so can you help me for that? how to install new android ?

A nice experience with froyo

Afters 2 monthes on windows 6.1 and 6.5 , i finallly came back to the excellent android, windows is so boring
I had give up because of bad development cycle with .32 kernel and a lack of news on polaris android forum and the abandon of martin
So I downloaded atools, compiled the last .32 kernel and installed
HTML:
Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18] [12/4/2010] Who Invited This Guy!
both on nand and of course the last but not least update.tgz for polaris
The first impression was very very good : everything was well sized, smart and faster than fast, wifi and bluetooth did work
After my first installation, i went to the market and i did a mass update of stock application : that was my first mistake (maybe because of odexed stuff... i 've never understood this that's a shame) - everything went corrupted after this point until a big crash of the phone
So i did a second attempt and after two days with this configuration, i've a very good feeling, good stability and not so bad battery life after having installed "Data on demand" from the market
The most important point has ever be the battery life for me (not this fuc$''(ng camera - kids !!) and i've noticed that sleeping state is very odd for month, sometime the phone is entering sleeping state, sometime not and this must be battery hungry
my radio is 1.45.xx.xx
Some credits : i want to thank all the historical from HTC and the upcoming Liquid who do so much hard work replacing marginz if i've all understood
I wish i had the skill to help the community but i know my limit, everything that i can advise you is to work on battery life
Liquid : what is the problem with battery life exactly ? is there a way to work on sleeping state ? on windows my phone could handle 4 or 5 days without recharging... i know this have been asked so many times
I agree with you...
Hi,
Yes, I totally agree with you. I tried the first versions of cyanogene and after versions of thoughtlesskyle (fat froyo).
I admit that this is the most stable version ever tested.
Many thanks also to all those who have advanced Android for us.
I use my phone for business reasons but I always want to test the latest versions but there, I stop for the version of thoughtlesskyle as it works perfectly.
Thanks to all Polaris users
Cheers.
My phone is also running on Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18], and so far it is the best release I've ever tried.
Big thanks to l1q1d, who helped me with to switch from WM6.5 to Android. Tools and threads are always updated and support is both fast and relevant.
Thank you guys.
The problem with battery is due to several fatctors:
Radio firmware is not designed for android so it doesn't handle connection correctly
The sleep mode is not handle correctly by the firmware so the sleep mode is only a low consumpition mode
The battery calculation alghoritm is not perfect and there is no information on windows alghoritmation
good explanation liquid
Do you think there's a chance for you or another to ameliorate the situation ?
... and gingerbread is coming
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/develop
what can we excpect from this ???
A new dream And a new phone again...

Did someone try gingerbread on polaris ?
I'm a little bit anxious about performance on our devoted device
I'm now trying Thoughtlesskyle's with data on sd, i have read that it can improve sd card bug and data loss on reboot; The fact is that i'm not convinced by system speed with such an installation
I'm not really sure system is well installed since i've read that you need a special rom to install on fat32/etx2/ext2
we can find everything and it's contrary on xda forum, that's annoyin and androidon htc site need to be improved
First experience yesterday :
- easy to install but I use with Haret
- fast and like the Nexus S... Hum...
- But a lot of problems : wifi ok but impossible to connect by authentication, impossible to access to date/time parameters, ... And when I reboot, impossible to get Android ! Just a lot of messages and that's all I've to reinstall again...)
I think we have to wait for a new kernel with this new build
I return to my Froyo by thoughtlesskyle
Cheers.

I going mad with my Touch Cruise. I just crashed it on the wall and I'm quite surprise it is still working...
I am experiencing lots of issues. It's so slow that the phone freezes from time to time. Even after rebooting, applications are crashing... because Android says that the SD card is missing (I moved most of the apps using app2sd).
I feel desperate because Android seemed to be a great OS, but not on a Touch Cruise.
I will try to chillout, and wait for new kernel releases and setups...

you don't have to wait but just follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10137836&postcount=115
this setup is amazing and very stable, none can't beat it for the moment
The app2sd technique is maybe at the origine of your problems, try with update3 and tell us if it's work
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
My telephone is also running on Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo [RLS18]
I'll let you know if it works better (hope so!).
Hi everybody, I want to share what I 'm experiencing since last week. I made a BSE ( EDIT: using 1.0.6 atool ) flagging advanced mode then install system, fix permissions and clear dalvik cache and location system auto as well as data. In nbh editor I setted last L1q1d .32 fstab on auto. I have installed not so super rls 18...
Now in andboot I have a system.img and a data.img and here is my result : I have never had a reboot, no data loss and also I can turn off the phone without problem on reboot. I only must wait about 2/3 minutes before all is ready.
maybe L1q1d can explain what I have done?
I have a mirco sd class 6
P&L
It's quite interesting.
The answer is: you install both system and data on file on sd, the sd is quite fast so you can use it.
Does the camera work in this configuration?
