[Q] Testing LGO2x ROMS - LG Optimus 2x

Hello there,
I just banked a Rom from MoDaCo website and I wanted to test it out, how can I do?
I already tried to create an Android Virtual Device with Running OS Android 2.2 (the target), then I unzipped the rom and copied all the files into the root of the .avd dir, but when I load the avd, it starts a stock Froyo OS... how can I test my rom out? Shall I delete all the files but the configs from the avd directory?
Thanks in advance,
Tiwiz
EDIT: Reading the Google's HowTo I saw that I need a system image to make it load it... how can I get it?

misread. nvm.

WTF?
Test it on your phone dude!
Running a rom in an emulator, even to test sucks big time. It's not a really valid way to test a rom.

@djmcnz ytou're right, but I'm kinda new in the Android World, so I was afraid to break my device, but now I baked my first custom ROM and I'm testing it

Installing Open Eclair on Vogue NAND

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I have a Vogue on wich I installed several Windows Rom during the last 2 years but I''m new to the Android world. I wanted to install OpenEclair to my NAND because I assumed it was running faster from a NAND.
Since I could not find androidinstall.tar in the downloaded package, I just created a tar file including the "data" and "system" directories usign the tar application that comes with cygwin.
In the tar file I just added motoCAL.apk and motoGAL.apk files to data/app because I want to connect to my enterprise exchange server
For the Base I use voguimg-240x320-eclair-31-03-10.nbh which is installed on my NAND
The problem is that when I try to install the Rom it goes really fast. Then I reboot and I get the following message:
"unable to open persistent property directory data property errno 2"
Any idea of what I may have done wrong?
Thanks in advance
Richard
What did you download?
nevermind - go back to the thread list. read tatnai's faq thread, and crobs' step-by-step howto install on nand thread. Then let us know if you had any luck.
If you want to run an eclair, this is that I have heard is doing well:

I am personally running Myn's Donut which is very stable:

i think his problem is is that he's creating a .tar out of the haret system and data lol as JM-PDA said, use one of those or find another one you like that is already in a .tar.
Thanks Guys,
I know how to install ready to use distributions. I already sucesfully instaled Myn's Warm Donut and Polymod 2.1g. However I wanted to install the latest release of OpenEclair and this one does not come with a .tar file.

[Q] Please advise. Cannot install NETCF v35..

I have the Manila Maxsense 2.5 UI on my tp2. I just updated it to the latest sense 2.5 for September 4. I cannot get the net compact frame v35 to install after I install sense 2.5. It is telling me:
'A later version of the .NET Compact Framework is already installed. If you want to install this version, first remove the existing version.'
Can someone tell me how to do this. It is not in the remove programs in settings folder. I had my sense 2.5 up and working along with the android project software on the sd card. I decided it might be a good idea to save all my settings to restore phone, program, icon etc., then hard reset the phone. Along with this I reformatted my sd card (8gb) with fat 32. Then placed the phone settings restore files back onto th sd card. Now I can't install the dual boot with the android software.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance to whomever can help.
I have searched this forum up and down, along with google for a day and a half for a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Paul H
What ROM?
Is there any reason to believe that the latest version of .NETCF is not already installed?

it should also ask you "do you want to uninstall current version of net compact"
(usually it does) press yes and you are good to go.
(I need to install the: (NETCFv35.wm.armv4i)....
(Energy.RHODIUM.24631.Sense2.5.MaxSense.Sep.04) - ROM.
This is what I want to figure out. If the ROM already has it.
When I try to install it, I get that message"
('A later version of the .NET Compact Framework is already installed. If you want to install this version, first remove the existing version.')
I understand that when you install a regular application for the TP2, it will ask you if you want to uninstall it before it installs the new app. Then it simply installs.
This doesn't give me that choice. It is basically telling me to uninstall something that isn't there; at least on my SD card. I save all cab files to a folder on the SD card. Only applications that are ROM critical are installed in the phones main memory. Now, when I try to open the file: (GenY-DualBOOT-v1.0.6.0-CAB) to attempt to boot up: (ProjectAndroid2.2BLAZN.083010), the Dual Boot file will not install. It says that I need to install the: (NETCFv35.wm.armv4i) file. I can't find another copy of a compact framework file anywhere to uninstall. I had this same, new Sept. 4 ROM installed yesterday along with android and they worked pretty awesome together, in my opinion. Maybe I should just post this in the android forum. I just don't want to piss people off by posting something that has already been posted, and in which I searched XDA website and can't find any solutions.
Once I get this up and going I am going to start making donations for the ROM makers and android project!
Oh, and I do understand the android is not a full ROM. I just want to get them to load up fine.
Thanks for anyone's help!

Pretty sure the Energy ROMs have the latest version cooked in.

Yea, that is what I'm pretty sure of. But why will the dual boot not install? I do think it is burned into the ROM also. That's why I am puzzled.
you already have the latest version of netframework cooked in your rom.
you can always install a small program called netcfg to make sure which version of net cf you are using.

Hay 'the show stopper', that helped a lot! This was a utility was the foremost resolution to the conflicts I was/am having! I finally got the android back up and running, and so far I have been able to run android just fine. I am going to keep on researching the the xandroid software as it is being updated!

[Dec 21][APP]PS3DJB v2.5.1 Supports Eng, Ger, Nor, Esp & Fr

Hello everyone,
Here is my app i have been working on. It will install all files to your sd card needed to jailbreak and downgrade your ps3 with your HD2 Only. Now i have some time think this link is long overdue to be posted. Where this app originated from. Again thank you to all the other devs out there for there hard work that has now become a all in one solution.
What the app does:
This app will allow you to downgrade your firmware to any firmware you want. (PS3 Slim's cannot go as far back as Fat Consoles.) The downgrade only works with FW's up to 3.50. (If you have FW3.55 you are out of luck for now. Unfortunately there is no solution on the market nor in the community for that FW version.) This app will also allow you to patch your android build with all the files needed to jailbreak your ps3.(this will be changed real soon.) It also includes many payloads so u can use the one that best matches your needs.
Other Languages:
German version Located here I have also translated the first post in German as well. Enjoy
Norwegian version Located here I have also translated the first post in Norwegian as well. Enjoy
Spanish version Located here. It is compatible with Esp Rom's storage cards. I have also translated the first post in Spanish as well. Enjoy
French version Located here. It is compatible with Fr Rom's storage cards. I have also translated the first post in French as well. Enjoy
Instructions:
you will need to download both files found below.
DowngradeUpdater(needed)
PS3DJB Updated to 2.5.1 - English Only - Now Includes darkstone hd2froyo v3 in a custom folder just for jailbreaking. Size 103mb
Install:
Make sure you have placed your android build of your choice on the root of your sd card before installing. Your android build must be placed in the Android folder.
1.install downgradeupdater.cab to storage card. (this only contains the downgrade folder)
2. install PS3DJB.cab to storage card. (this contains the main UI and all jailbreak files)(does not include modified 3.41 PUP, lv2diag.self file 1 and lv2diag.self file 2)
Pre Use:
1. run app and select backup original android build (must do this first before you run setup jailbreak if you want to keep your original zImage of your Android build.)
2. select setup jailbreak. This will transfer all the files to your android build. if you replace your android build later on with a newer version just rerun the setup jailbreak.
Use:
1. once you set up jailbreak then proceed to select Launch PS3DJB. Follow the jailbreak instructions on the process. There are tons of tuts on how to do so. It is all they same for the most part. What is different for the HD2 is Once you boot into Android go and launch Gscript and select the payload of your choice. Then wait till it starts to auto countdown then plug the phone into the ps3 and start the jailbreak process.
2. If you want to downgrade your ps3 launch downgrader. This will take you to a mini android build made specifically for downgrading your ps3. This will not affect your other android builds
Questions and Answers:
Q) how do I know when everything backed up, restored or setup for jailbreak?
A) it will complete when the button image snaps back to normal when completed.
Q) im done downgrading and cant turn off the phone with the power button?
A) If you run the downgrade portion of the app you will need to pull the battery out when your done and reboot the phone. this is not due to my app it is part of the downgrade setup.
Q) Where is the Gscript folder located at?
A) gscript folder installs to the root of your SD card. It should install when you install the PS3DJB.CAB if you do not see it. Reboot your phone. Sometimes it caches till a reboot. not sure if its a OS issue or a Rom issue.
Q) I started Gscript and only see a couple of payloads. Isnt there more?
A) if you are missing payloads in gscript listing hit the windows button then select add script. Then finally select load. find a missing script select it and save. it will now populate to your main list in gscript. you will need to add. hermes 3.50 + PSN v4b, CE-X hybrid payload, and 2.76FW payload.
Q) I have multiple android builds will this mess with them?
A) Yes and No. It will only mess the the android build located in the Android Folder. If you want to make sure your stock android build stays stock after jailbreaking run the backup original android build button first to back up a copy of your original zImage. Once your done jailbreaking just run restore original android build to restore the backedup zImage.
Q) Do I need to install the downgradeupdater.Cab if I don’t plan on downgrading?
A) No you do not. It does not affect anything releated jailbreaking. If you hit the launch downgrader button without it installed will cause the app to display a message about it missing.
Q) if i downgrade will i loss my game saves? if so how do i keep them?
A) If you downgrade you may loose your game save. Go to system settings and back up your system. the option is at the bottom of the list almost. you can restore the same way
if you have any suggestion let me know.
enjoy!

sorry for noob question... what for this app actually?
Wonderful app! Thank you for your work. Wouldn't this be better suited for the HD2 Apps forum though?

i thought it might be but was not sure. if a mod wants to move it feel free.
This app just make things easier/noobier for people who want to jailbreak or downgrade there ps3. i personally got annoyed always having to open file explorer and hit both options to launch. i have a lot of crap on my sd card so this makes it easier for me and i hope others. it will also give you a dedicated folder for the downgrade.
i can always make the jb a dedicated folder but i notice that android runs fine with the jb files integrated. it did not affect my user experience so i did not do that originally.
Thank you! This is an extremely useful app, you have made my life so much easier...

Like here for example...
Doesn't work for german ROMs, cause in german "Storage Card" means "Speicherkarte" and so the path for the setup is wrong ... Installing is no problem.
This is awesome
Thank you HackMimic
the only probem with using ps jailbreak on my hd2 android is that it breaks my camera
had the same problem when I made my multi os launcher app days ago. I have the translation for German and another language. I will make the proper changes for ya. Would you prefer everything visual to read in German.

German is not that important for me, but if it is no big effort it would be fine.
What version firmware does this work on i have .55 firmware, a stupid friend of my sister installed it. I hope it works for this too

unfortunately if your at 3.55 there is no way to downgrade as they revoked the leaked keys. there where 3 of them i believe. i would not update your ps3 anyfurther down the road and wait till there is a workaround. im always scared my roommate will do the same. thats why i bought two. one jb in the front with a ps3key. thats what my roommate will use since its easy and one in my room with my htc now.

Does it break the camera in WM or android? My camera in WM works fine. if in android it might be the zimage file used. I think i will need to make a backup folder and include a button to backup original zImage of the rom so you can restore it when not jailbreaking.
also doing a pure german rom is no big deal. Let me update the app to do this new stuff first and when i upload it i will upload a translated version as well.
Hi,
I am using an english version wm, still says that the directory can't be opened
Storage Card/blah blah blah..
using android RAM version by darkstone.. maybe that's the cause?
Whenever I click on "Setup Jailbreak", I get an error message saying, " An unexpected error has occurred in SmartDeviceProject1.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details or more information." I'm using a dexter wm rom, "TheDarkOne WWE". Radio 2.10.50.26. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all, it's better to go with Froyo for now. GB builds aren't quite as stable. Plus, depending on which build / ROM you used, some features might not work properly if at all.
1. AFAIK USB storage does not work yet. Get froyo or use WM
2. download, as in thru Market or just the APKs? APKs are like CABs in WM, you have to install to use
3. Again possibly problem with the build you're using
Go and get FRX06 from the Topaz Android dev section and try that out. Most things work with it (except maybe HW3D). If you're feeling adventurous, google CWM ROMs. Tiad8 made a CWM version of FRX06. Available on his site at tiad8.com
Good luck mate~

Thank you for taking the time to reply .
I will try froyo out now , i put gingerbread on cause i taught it was faster and optimized , thats one of the main reason i want android cause Winmo is very very laggy and i hate it .
Dude, no need to start a new thread for relatively the same issue.
Also, try to add more relevant info as in, which build you downloaded, from where, what steps you followed etc.. easier to fix that way..
Anyway, fresh start.
1. Go to this thread
2. Get the BUNDLE (first link) in post number 4
3. Unzip the file to a folder called andboot
4. copy the folder the root of your SD
5. Edit Startup.txt in the folder with the options you need, sleep mode, overclock etc (refer to same thread, post #2)
6. Run HaRET..
There's no reason why your XDAndroid wouldn't run now. Since the FRX06 bundle has just about everything for first timers. Give a try and update here if you need anything..
