I'd love to be able to use Android on my Omnia 2, but it looks like it involves some linux, at which I'm complete novice.
Is there a way to install Android on Omnia 2 from a MS Windows computer?
There are 2 methods to install Android on our Omnia 2
Method 1: Using the auto installer to install on the external SD Card.
Download the package from the developers website http://o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php
Method 2: Using Ubuntu to install in the internal storage
It is not difficult to install Android using Linux,
Use Ubuntu Live CD, download from the below link
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
There are also instructions on the website on how to make Live CD, or you may Google it for step by step instructions.
Once you have Ubuntu loaded you may follow my Video tutorial on the below link for step by step instructions to install Android on Omnia 2 using Ubuntu

I've been trying the first method, but my Omnia 2 keeps freezing in the middle of installation. The developer doesn't seem to run a discussion forum on his website. Do you know if he provides support on XDA?
Below is the discussion thread, read the first page carefully

I don't think there should be a problem if its version 7 now, The tool is made for certain task (to create partitions) and it should do it.

Any chance to flash NAND Android ROM under Linux?
Just use Virtual machine (Windows 7 since XP has some problems with flashing) using VMware player.. its very easy to install/use.. then just connect your 'HDroid' and start doing the required steps.. or just use "Clockworks Recovery" steps.. the only thing you do in Linux is copying the files to the SD Card.

Thanks, but i know that solution, i did it that way. It is not flashing under Linux... You still need Windows. I'm interested in pure Linux way.
This is probably what you're looking for.

It's not yet released, but your need doesn't seem to be urgent.
Is it possible to upgrade it to windows 7? I am really sick of windows 6.5 and even the android setup is not working on my phone. I guess its really complicated. I wish i could just remove windows and replace it with android. please guide me with this!
Thank You

There is no way you can upgrade your WinMo to WP7, due to different requirements, firmwares, processor, etc. Android OS is actually not so difficult to install as what you think. What you need is patience and reliable tutorial to follow. There are few different versions of Android available by different users:
1. Original default beta installation, install on SD card, transfer the files in and run haret.exe twice.
2. ISO file installation, install on My Storage, transfer the files in and run haret.exe once.
3. Manual installation, can be installed on either My Storage or SD Card, required Ubuntu to transfer the files, and run through haret.exe once.
4. Froyo Bundles, fixes most problems and most stable, can be installed on either My Storage or SD Card, transfer the files in and run.
Thanks. Will surely try again!
Cheers!

Hello All,
I've read that linux does not open up the file system of nexus 7 when connected? Is that right? if yes, how can one transfer files to nexus 7?
Am waiting on my device which should arrive in few days. I really dont want to go some where else to copy my files or use apps to transfer files over the air. My phone is android and linux shows me the sd card folder right away after plugging in...
Also, can you guys please point me towards howto on rooting my device while on linux? I have seen wndows has one click method which is pretty awesome. I realize we might not have one click methods in linux, am willing to do it the hardway too..just need some direction.
Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks for taking your time.
Linux mint user here if that makes any difference. Thanks

I have no problems loading the file system on my Arch System. However, I personally rooted using Windows and the One-Click. Since all it does is use adb to push files onto the system, it is 100% possible to root and unlock using Linux. Just make sure you have the Android SDK installed.

Thanks for taking you time out. When you say you had no problem on arch, are you saying the file explorer just showed the nexus files? were you able to just copy and paste stuff into nexus?
Thanks for the link..will go through it

By "showing Nexus files" do you mean the SD card? Linux supports PTP / MTP so this won't be a problem. You won't be able to directly view any other files without some other server installed on the Nexus, such as NFS or CIFS. As already stated, if you install the Android SDK, you will be able to root the device using adb / fastboot shell commands.
I think it depends on which distribution you are using. Ubuntu doesn't have mtp support by default.

Easy to get it though.
Yes, i am able to mount my internal storage in Arch if that's what you are asking. As stated before, you must have MTD support in your distro. Since Mint is based on Ubuntu, you may have to do some work. Sorry, not really sure how in Ubuntu.

1. Fresh install, preferably dual boot Windows 7
2. Before installing Windows 8, create a new partition for data, and an extra partition for Windows 8, so you can dual boot and access data from both os.
3. You won't need mobo drivers, at least I didn't.
4. Boot method
5. Download the Windows 7 USB tool from the Microsoft site, use that to create a bootable USB.

Hell... This is a guide on how to install android on your PC.
I wouldn't actually call it a guide but rather a organized collection of links where you can get the information required.
There are basically two ways to install android on your PC
1) Installing it in your hard drive
2) Using VirtualBox
First of all... the exporting of android to PC is made possible lthrough the Android x86 project en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android-x86
Things you will need
1) A PC powered by AMD or Intel processors.
2) android x86 iso image www.android-x86.org/download
3) Blank CD/DVD or a USB flash drive
4) VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ( if you are using virtualization)
Note - It is recommended that you use Virtualization Technology rather than installing it on hard drive.
1) Installing on hard drive
Now in this one you can dual boot with your current OS or just use Android as a standalone.
To install android on your hard drive you can follow this guide here logytips.blogspot.com.es/2014/02/how-to-dual-boot-install-android-kitkat.html?m=1
Personally I found this guide the most useful one on the internet ( if you have any better then please comment) Now this guide specifies only on dual booting with Windows but the good thing is you can modify the instructions to do the way you want.
If you want to install Android as a standalone then just delete all the partitions and install Android
If you are using any other OS then just create or modify partitions the way you do in that OS
2) Using VirtualBox
For the folks who don't know, VirtualBox is a virtualization software by Oracle that lets you run an OS in your current OS as a guest OS without making anything permanent.
To use Android using VirtualBox you can follow the official Android_x86 guide here www.android-x86.org/documents/virtualboxhowto or
the Wikihow guide here www.wikihow.com/Install-Android-OS-4.3-on-Windows-8-PC
Or watch this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3YcSJJlxio
f you need any additional information or got into some problem then please comment
Hit thanks if it helped!
Solution to common errors
1) Make sure that Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS settings.
2) Wi-Fi , camera and USB storage may not work on KitKat.. so try older versions.
3) If you have a new PC or rather a UEFI system then you need to install Android via USB stick.
What this has to do with Moto G?
This should not be in the moto G section but android general. However, as there are already threads about this there I will close this thread
