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

how can I flash froyo 2.2 RLS 12 to my Polaris?wifi is ok?
1. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE INSTALL PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS and download the install-seq.sh .
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 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 ?
Hi, i have a acer aspire d255 which has a dual boot with android 1.6, i can download apps and they work but some like angry birds wont install as its 1.6.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get 1.6 upgraded to 2.1?
any ideas?
here is froyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872186&highlight=netbook
Acer D255
I'm also quite keen on any info or hacks for this device. I've got a Acer One D255
with Android 1.6 I barely ever boot into it but has the potential of being quite useful. I'm also quite annoyed there
isn't a market app as this is 95% of android usability, without it there doesn't seem to be much you can do with it.
So what I'm asking is.....
how do I upgrade this version of android.
or how do I install the Market app.
or any other method of getting apps on it.
I'll be keeping a close look at the link posted above, as this may provide some level of success too.
hi so far the only way i have found is to use appstore or apk files installed with a file manager
i have the d255 been playing with it for a few days now the android is1.6 ot the best in the world but it works the down side is there is no market but i can run apps on it if i insall the apk file and it runs some that my wildfire cant it will run live wallpapersand the wifi works with no probs
so what i was woundering is there anybody working on making this better?
and is there anything the rest of use who have the d255 can do to help
thanks
phil
What kind of apps have u been able to install? I tried installing ADW launcher (the only app I tried) but it gave an error parsing the package.
Is the D255 just running the "ordinary" phone android 1.6?
So I've been playing around with it today and I found that you can install .apks that you normally find in the market. I assumed the version running on here was 1.6. I managed to install ADW launcher (gives much more customization) and a lot of other apps. Right now I am going to try installing the Gapps found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
I also found that the App Center found on AndoidPIT works and allows you to download apps and install them (at least the one app that I clicked on ). Things like astro and Root Explorer also work. I pulled most of these apps from my phone and installed them and most of them work fine.
It's not android 2.1 (or 2.2 or 2.3 ) but it does make the whole thing a lot more usable.
EDIT: I just read the post above and people already managed to do the same I figured I would give my 2 cents anyway.
I used to use this tablet a lot when it was new. It was fast and ran most apps with out any problems. It's been a few years since I used it so I figured I'd turn it on and see how it did with newer apps. Turns out it is quite a bit slower now and games lag more than I was expecting.
I was looking into rooting and putting a custom kernel on it to see if could speed it up a bit. I ran a few rooting apps first and every one said it was already rooted. I haven't changed anything from its default settings so I'm assuming it was done at the factory like that. I've spent some time looking for a custom kernel, but I haven't come up with anything yet. I'm not sure if I need one for what I'm trying to accomplish.
I really just want to increase the CPU clock and if possible the GPU clock speed as well. I tried running "Kernel Adiutor" and "Kernel Toolkit" to change the CPU speed. I was able to change it, but it won't allow me to go higher than the stock 1200mhz. It says it will go up 1440mhz in these apps, but when I set it there it locks up and I have to reboot the tablet.
This isn't that important as I have a new phone I use on a regular basis, but it would be nice to use the tablet again with out the lagginess it has now or less of it anyways.
This info is from the CPU-Z app. If you need more just ask.
