GT-I8350 questions&issues - Omnia 7 General

Hello everybody!
thanks in advance for any info that u share or offer here!
a few days ago i take a Samsung GT-I8350! it runs on windows mobile 7
my answer is simple
can I do anything to change its OS???
and another thing or another issue with bluetooth
the bluetooth when is activated shows that it is paired with other devices(android and symbian)
but it can't connect to transfer any file
what's that problem???
thanks anyway for any information

Hello, first thing you should do is install a custom ROM. Windows Phone doesn't allow for deep changes to the OS like Android but having a custom ROM will allow for minor changes.
Secondly, Bluetooth support on WP7 is poor. If you install a custom ROM then you'll be able to follow this guide which installs DFT's Bluetooth drivers and Nokia's Bluetooth app which will allow for better file transfer compatibility.

XDA II and Newlink Bluetooth dongle

Hello everyone,
I have a Newlink Bluetooth dongle and i have a problem with it:
i have downloaded the driver from his home page and instaled but windows force to put it's own.
Q: how can I put his driver instead of windows one?
thanks and best regards
the drivers have to be of a newer date to work after xp sp2
i got some newer ones from belkin i could use but if all you need is
sync then you can just use the ms ones
Thanks
Could you give a link with a new driver? I have XP with the latest updates and SP installed on my PC. Where can I find that driver?

Google's Android on Magician !

Hi all,
Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.
Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!
And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.
If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...
Use the search if you are interested;-)

It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.
For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-
http://code.google.com/android/
and let us know. Waiting for your reply...
Thanks!
Peoples - a hve WORKING linux on my HTC magician.
name is Angstorm with GUi OpenMoko.
Work - tochscreen,Sound,GSM,blootuth.
thet meens - drivers are exist and work
Can anybody say, where i can download Google's Androuid for ANY platform ?
I'm Find =) Android For Zaurus
it seems to me, For using rootfs on magician we mast change drivers in it
http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusAndroid
As me say one man, it takes compiling magican's drivers using Google android SDK.
Some useful links

Немного о портировании для OMAP -> http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP
Sory for my English =)
does anyone know how to actually download the Android platform? regardless of phone model or drivers? or is it just included in the SDK and you gotta compile it yourself? If I can somehow get my hands on a copy of the image I'll probably end up spending the next 3 weeks trying to flash it natively into the ROM
The Android sources can found on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
It is only kernel. Without drivers.
Found a new article for search on "Android on HTC", got this:
Android Kernel Found, Android on HTC Kaiser imminent
It says, that the kernal works only on MSM7200A chipset for now.
Take a look, link: http://fandroid.net/content/android-kernel-found-android-htc-kaiser-imminent
what i cannot understand is:
if there is an working linux kernel (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianXanadux) than android should be executable also!?
All necessary driviers shold be available.
So why should it be impossible to have a running android on a Magician?
cheers
aitsch
p.s.: the Magician is a very fast device. maybe android is running well on it.
UPDATE: Google has released a new version of Android, v0.9
Any updates on running Andriod on Magician ?
I could run Linux (Openmoko) successfully.
yea! Android 1.0 it very good
we need this
linux can run on a magician and u can use phone on it but no sms and it's full of bug's
Hi all,
I have tried to download the angstrom linux and follow the instruction from this site http://linuxtogo.org/~ph5/magician/....
but I always had kernel panic when start booting the linux, after then I found out the unzipping wasn't successful there is an error occurred during unzipping.
Does anyone ever encounter the error when unzipping? your help would be much appreciated. thank you

[Q] Touch2 bluetooth module

Hi guys, first of all i want to be excused not to check out all the threads that've been posted.My problem is with the BT application which is originally installed and has a few problems which im trying to deal with. Does anyone know how to fix BT with the original interface of WM6.5?! I'll try to upload images to be more specific. Thanks in advance
p.s In my case the BT module in TOUCH2 can pair with the device only by COM2!
The standart BT module on other device with clean mobile 6.5 allows you to choose outgoing COM port from 1-9.

1. HTC Battery Tool will give you all the info you would ever imagine about your battery.
2. Tethering is possible via USB. Look here for the corresponding solution. Haven't testes it yet myself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
3. Depends on the file but generaly you will have to wait for Windows Phone Device Manager by Shaps for this. This app will be coming right after the official MS update.
Here you have to battery tool

Mi7Roms Nokia Edition

Hi guys,
I'm new xda forum member...
So I'm very sorry if this is a stupid question but I'd like to flash my omnia7 unbranded using one of the latest Mi7Roms cooked with TANGO.
In different posts I see that there are several release of these roms.
In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782388 mirolg released 3 roms called NOKIA Edition.
I thin that I have to decide between:
- mi7ROM_v2.1 NOKIA edition OS8773_ root manager.zip
- mi7ROM_v2.1 NOKIA edition OS8773_Basis Skin_root manager.zip
But I'd like to know what Nokia Edition means? My device after flashing will appear as a nokia device automatically or is there something to do after flashing rom?
Samsung marketplace will be available or not?
Are there other roms that I can use to get my omnia7 fully unlocked?
I also see in the previous mentioned post that to install some Nokia Apps or some themes on the device we must use the cab sender method instead of standard XAP.
Is it right?
What is the difference between cab sender and xap?
Best Regards

Nokia Edition means that you can flowlessly install the nokia apps from the marketplace nokia section, before mirolg released this the apps had to be cracked and sideloaded to run on non-nokia phones. After flashing your phone will automaticly "think" it's a nokia lumia 800. For accessing Samsung marketplace you simply have to change the marketplace using some app like MarketplaceConfig or wphTweaks or anything similar, one of them is already installed after flashing.
Some Nokia apps use editional code libraries that are not included in Samsungs windoes phone releases, so you can install them with a cab file. A cab file is actually an update file, just like the ones that zune installs to your phone when you get an official update. A XAP file is a normal application file that can be installed AND uninstalled, while after installing a cab-file the only possibility to remove it again is restoring a backup or flashing a new ROM.
The decision between the two ROMs is simply a question of looks, one comes in standard metro/windows 8 style look, the other one has some changed icons.
I hope I did answer your questions,

Great answer..
thank you so much...
I will flash my Omnia as soon as possible because chewron labs token are expired. :fingers-crossed:
Another question if you know the answer...
After flashing my omnia with custom rom, does syncronization with zune still works or no (file sync and multimedia content)?
Obviously updates will not work.
