Update: New release (RLS 5)
-Comes with 'rogue tools' for overclocking and setting display density will need an update over market to support nike, myn told me he will push it to the market during the next day or so)
-feels smoother, connectivity seems to be a lot better (I never had a faster browsing experiance on my nike than with this build and opera mini), rejoining network after lost signal also seems to be faster
-nice new weather/clock widget
-if you use installd version, the androidupdate.tar from rls4 is still necessary for powermanagement
Myn's new (16.03.2010) Donut android build runs quite smooth on nike! Finally a decent alternative to Ion on nike.
Get it from the vogue forums (SQSH version):

Here is a link to the basefiles I am using:
http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday/RootfsBasefiles20100318.zip
The kernels are from dzo's branch with a few minor fixes (vibration, irq-wakeup, red led blinking when in sleep mode). Additionally the kernels should work with enabled HW3D in eclair with boot parameter hw3d.version=1 (not tested yet...).
HowToInstallInANutshell:
-delete old android files from sd
-extract basefiles to sdcard
-extract system.sqsh from myns package and copy to sd
-if you are on a nike100 make sure deafault.txt points at the kernel without vibration (included)
-otherwise default.txt should be fine, most parameters are ignored anyway.
-run haret
-be happy
Impressions:
-sleepmode 1 ok, wakes up, red led blinking. Battery life seems ok, but i only tested a few hours...
-very fast
-many locales, not just english like in good ol' ion
-quite stable net, nice apn autodetect (just had to select from two alternatives), working google stuff
-still not working: bt, incall volume, cam
So, give it a shot and leave your impreesions here!

********** UPDATE ************
Installation with the NoRootfs Method is now possible with working net and powermanagement. This gives us the possibility to use the Themes and the default font and everything else that can be provided via androidupdate.tar
See the Wiki for installation instructions. Make sure that you have the provided 'androidupdate.tar' (see attachment, file is in the zip archieve) in your andboot folder along with the androidinstall.tar when installing.
To install themes just copy them in you andboot folder (must be named androidupdate.tar), reboot into menu -> update (-> fix permissions).
PS: Doesn't seem to work with eclair builds, but could work with other donuts
PPS: This should also work with ext2, if someone tried successfully please let me know. €: Works with ext2
Additionally the kernels should work with enabled HW3D in eclair with boot parameter hw3d.version=1 (not tested yet...).

you've added hw3d support? I tried to do that - all that I got is 3D without textures or simply nothing - black screen. I did same as in this commit in repo.
I did the same. The only build i saw it working was aosp eclair for kaiser (gallery3d worked). Otherwise i got the same errors. I read that the other devices suffer from similar problems.
Ps: Writing this on myns donut. Everything stable so far.

Hi mblaster,
works like a charm here. Very fast and stable. This is the first ever Donut Build with stable working Data i've seen....
Only Point is, that icons are really very small. Seem to me even smaller than in the old Cupcake Releases with 320x480...
Tried higher settings for lcd.density, but screens don't fit than anymore.
Have you tried it with a non modded system Image ?

ECLAIR
because you are starting another section of the eclair?
already has almost no one accessing the other thread ...... I have a question there for two days and no one responds more ..
I am very impressed with the progress of the android in my eclair NIKI100 (20 keys)
is making calls, receiving messages, all volumes of the system are working (calls, music (I had to install another player why that came standard did not work), alarm etc. ..) I'm using it for three days, battery lasts long , it does not heat the unit, since I use it in everyday life.
now I have some questions for you:
is so difficult to operate the headphones?
I love listening to music, especially in the way of work, if possible, please someone do work ....
particularly hate wm, I think one day we niki users, we can get the WM and definitely use the android, (because you can try to do everything, are the gods of HTC ....).
another question, I can change the theme of the eclair? wanted it like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600154, it is possible??
I'm not charging, just begging! rsrsrsrs
Congratulations XDA....( GODS OF HTC)
Hi there,
together with mblaster's combination of basefiles in the first post of this Thread, the sqsh Version of the image in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104 works also...
mblaster; seem's you've found/made the ultimate combination for Donut Images. PERFECT !

Theming with Metamorph
I been reading around on Vogue's thread and Metamorph catched my attention. It can style up android theme. Is this apps runs well on this build. I am confused because based on this site http://www.androlib.com/android.application.stericson-xda-metamorph-xnFD.aspx it can only run n Rooted phones. What is rooted phones anyway and can this run well in nike100 with the android build posted in this thread?
When is the nand version available? I think the only thing missing now in nike100 are camera and vibration features. Great job!
More Power!!!
Anyone encountered the "Half Size" icon problem ?
This is, when there's a reload of the Home Screen, all icons are suddenly half the size than normal. I had this after leaving the Browser.
Couldn't find a solution for that behaviour. Any ideas ?

You have to disable PIN in WinMobile afaik for all builds so far.
About wifi: The stickies say no wifi on nike. Never.
"never ever say never" ;DD
thanks anyway for Pin code tip.
Network problem
got two bugs here.
1. browsed from wm then switchd to android. i cannot connect anymore when in android. even if i reconfigure my apn.
2. switching from phon mode to airplane mode and airplane mode to phone mode will stuck in airplane mode.
@mblaster
how to enable apn autodetect?
@mblaster
First of all, good idea with the new wiki. Hope to add some things in the near future...
had the idea of creating system.sqsh files of all variants (Themes) of the original Vogue Thread. So i downloaded one of the androidupdate.tar files, und untared it "over" the files of the original ones in the androidinstall.tar file. Made an ext2 System and then a Squashfs System with genext2fs.
But no success....
Booting stucks obviously just before the Android Setup Wizzard should appear. Any Ideas ? Perhaps a permission problem ?

me again...
just got a flash in my brain...
probably a story about the rootfs because of different load types (NoRootFs vs. Classical sqsh File) ?
so what about mounting the original sqsh Image and untaring the update "over" the rootfs ? ...
@lagloose: Might be an issue because the androidupdate.tar files are made for norootfs. Perhaps its time to move on to an installed version without rootfs...
@ebautista: Sorry, but I do not maintain myn's build. Perhaps it would be a good idea to report bugs in myn's thread in the vogue forums. APN detection worked for me right out of the box. Do you use the basefils from this thread?
€: your brainflash was faster than my typing... but perhaps you should at laest try to set the right permissions, it might work
Hi all,
Just tested sqsh Image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628459. Not completely tested but seem to work also with our basefiles.
I'm working on a way to get themed Images for us Nike Users. Still some problems to solve, but shouldn't be that difficult...
As soon as i've found a way, i'll state it here.
Greetz, lagloose
I really would suggest to move on to NoRootFs for various reasons:
The theme packages are already available there
The basefiles are still supported and regularly updated, while SQSH is dying out, and as there are very few devs for nike we should try to profit from the progress made on other devices
There should be no drawbacks, just a few more MB on sd-card for the system
The installer for systems / updates is extremely useful (theming, installing your favourite apps in one shot ...)
Give it a try, you will find a little howto and links to ressources in the wiki
mblaster,
€: OK, I have good and bad news. The good news is that it seems like you can keep your datafile after switching to norootfs. The bad news is that sleep doesn't work anymore (same settings/build/kernel) -> The problem that prevents us from using more recent builds seems to exist inthe basefiles!!!
Basically thids leaves two possibilities: Either its in the part of the nonexistant rootfs that now is part of the system, or (my guess) it is in the initrd. At least it does not seem to be a problem with the kernel.

..same here after trying. I also couldn't get a Data Connection. Obviously Network Device ppp0 is missing. So i'd guess, that your guess concerning the initrd is correct. Unfortunately, i won't have the time to look after the problem in the next days. So for now we still have to use the SQSH files, until the problems are fixed...
hi, mblaster,
i want to download the file as "Get it from the vogue forums (SQSH version):
but i cant aceessed "mediafire"
Could you email to me a file that it can running on nike100, thnks
my mail is [email protected]
See Post 1 for UPDATE!

I am quite sure now that the initrd is fine and the problem is in the Rootfs, or better what is left of it. The latest working basefiles include a Rootfs dated to 2009-11-16. There is a newer Rootfs on sourceforge (sometime in december 09) that shows the same problems (net/powermanagement/shutdown). As parts of the rootfs are included in the androidinstall.tar images, thos errors are still there. My update file (now included in post 1) overwrites those files with versions from the 11/16 rootfs. That leeds to a working system (with the new initrd).
Unfortunately the update is incompatible with the newer eclair builds that are around. Seems like they use another rootfs that rejects the old files...
Does anyone maintain a git repo of the rootfs? It would be interesting to patch the problem for good
I have been trying to change the Google option under Just Type to use google.co.uk on my Touchpad (in the UK).
After a bit of searching through the config files, I presumed it would be a matter of changing the reference in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json as that file also contains the reference to amazon.co.uk and the other standard search options.
However, even having changed that, rebooted, cleared browser cache, selecting Google in Just Type still goes to google.com and gives me US references first.
Has anyone got any idea what I am missing or have I got the wrong file?
OK, I can now answer my own question after some further searching on the internet. It seems this has been documented on PreCentral in the past.
Just editing the localised file in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr don't complete the change. To finish things off and get the TP to re-read that file, I needed to delete the universalsearchprefs.db file in /var/luna/preferences and restart.
Do you mind linking to the thread, hopefully there is a quick guide that I can follow as I need to change mine to UK to....
Thanks.
I got the basic information from here:- http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/298297-just-type-browser-google-settings.html#post3160050
However, in the end, I did everything just using Internalz Pro (after loading that with Preware). It was a case of editing /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json (after saving a copy) and then deleting /var/luna/preferences/universalsearchprefs.db and then rebooting the TP.
How did you edit UniversalSearchList.json? If I navigate to it with Internalz & try to open it I get a blank Impostah window that just hangs.
I just set Internalz to Master Mode in the Preferences (at the bottom) and I could edit. I am not running Imposter so don't know if that has an effect.
thanks for this info, this was bugging me and your fix has worked a treat
cheers

Hello guys,
I have a problem when using Poweramp music application.
I always used the application sorting songs by modification date (that way, it plays the latest music first).
I used CM 12.1 when used this way. (It worked correctly sorting by date modified files).
But after Flashed the jelly bean stock ROM, (I blinked with 6 GB PIT), sorting by date of modification does not work anymore ... (both ROM jelly bean stock, as in CM 12.1 (which I am using again ).
When you sort by file management applications, correctly classify the songs.
Can someone help me? (I have already sent a bug report to pweramp team, but they said that some devices fail to read the timestamp, but I always used that function, only now does not work.)
Note: already activated the option into Settings> Folders and Library> Lists and tick "Sort By Filesystem Date / Time" (does not work)
*What do I do? No problem if you delete all my data in a procedure, the only requirement is that I want to use the CM12.1.
Thank you so much.
Good morning people,
I managed to solve the problem.
Despite the explorers get properly classifcar the files by date modified, do not know why the poweramp could not do it (tested my memory card in two other mobile phones with poweramp, and presented the problem).
The solution was: Move all the songs to your computer, and then copy back to the memory card, so that old songs were glued first (In Windows, enable the date modified column, press upon it, the old songs should appear at the top, done that, select all, copy and paste the card. the new songs will be pasted last but with that the date / time change is more recent). When I did this, the songs have replaced the modified date for the current date, and have been classified correctly.
Simple and strange, but it worked. : D
Thanks
