[WORKING!] Android on XDA Orbit 2

james mellor · May 8, 2010

Since I posted a thread: http://xdaforums.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

it dosent work on my htc touch cruise.

I click on Run, and the screen becomes gradually black, and that finished as that… nothing any more occurs.

The screen is lit, but is black, and nothing occurs.

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://xdaforums.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

Krysiul · Apr 11, 2011

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.
