1. Download your desired build from vogue hero then place and rename it to system.sqsh on your SD card
2. Extract contents of basefiles from vogue-android to your sd card, along with haret.exe, and default.txt
3. These are all you should need. If you get a white screen after you run haret then you need to open default.txt and change your panel type or just download a different one from the code site with the panel type you need to change to.
Hope this helps..your phone enters a wonderful new world with Android

before you do any of this make sure you have HSPL on your HTC if you dont have it go here and follow the guide to install the HSPL not the roms...to check if you have the HSPL turn off your phone and hold the volume down and press and hold the power button until you see a tri-colored screen.
if you already have downloaded the andriod zip file extract the folder and copy the folder called "Andriod" to your SD card's main dir. use the file explorer on your HTC and goto the Andriod folder and run CLRCAD (it may seen like it did nothing thats ok) then run the HARET file...you may have to take out the battery 2-3 times following these steps over and over until you get it to boot up.
P.S. I AGREE with what tritran18518 said just not the way he said it..

can anyone teach us how to cook an android rom?

just like what the title said,i think if any one can teach us how to cook an android rom thats will be good,then we can make our own rom.i dont really like the rom that we has right now(i dont mean the roms are not good,im very want to thanks the Acookers,those rom just changed too much base on the offical roms,i want a rom that has almost the same as the official rom with sense..)
ok,i found the android kitchen for the hd2,the download link is here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EK281AVK , the original thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738770 big thanks to the author

+1 for that

yea me too
wish someone would make a complete tutorial showing how to do it and explain every concept for noobs

first you need a good knowledge with linux os if not .... no hope

lol this is such wishful thinking. i'm a noob like yall and would love to give back to the modding community that's provided so much for me. but unfortunately, making a tutorial of this would be near impossible. or really hard at least. you can't put into a tutorial, as someone mentioned, a firm understanding of linux os. that's just too much information to try to shove into a tutorial.
but if this does happen, i'll happily eat me words because i'd love to be able to cook up some roms.

Not sure how to cook roms really, there's Coffe Shop v1 but the system.ext2 always comes up with 195MB from a 119MB image, and wouldn't boot, and the developer disappeared and hasn't updated it in a while.

i dont think so,just like cooking a wm rom,you dont have to know very deeply of the ce or wm,all you need is replace things,its just easy if some on tell you how.....but maybe im wrong....

There are android kitchens available on the site here... just search for it as I don't have a link to it at the moment...
It's not as easy as cooking for WinMo and it won't always boot but you can sure cook

look up coffee shop you could of searched first and found this without starting a new thread

you don't need to be an expert in linux, but at least have the basics. If you wana start, let me know, PM me or something. I'll try to help any way I can... I'm no expert as well, tho...

for some recent roms, they all use standdard ext2 image, it's better you work it on linux,
on linux you can mount the rootfs.img data.img, system.ext2 image to linux, then you can easily to copy & paste it.
and you'd know how android & linux boot up by adding & edition those boot config file.
and hd2 android is not standard rom like other cellphone's, hd2 rom don't need to pack into a single file, this is more easy for edition. and everyone can split the rom into several files.
few files information:
system.ex2 will be mount as /system, where android files located
data.img will be mount as /data, where user data located
initrd.gz, linux boot from here.
rootfs.img in some roms, the initrd.gz boot up will load this file, and mount this file as /, and main boot files are here. if you don't have this file, the main boot config files are in initrd.gz.
I am not guru, just tell what I know.
thanks.

Somebody should my a video of this

[Q] how to make nand file when you have sd file

can anyone help me how to make nand file when i have sd file cuz i cannot install from my sd card i need to install directly
thanks

I am not sure that I understand what is your exact problem. But if I'm right and you can not install rom from SD card and want to install it directly from computer, maybe you should try to use DAF versions ?

yes but there is only one daf version and i want to know how to convert the sd version to daf version

That's not very easy. You'd have to edit the intrid.gz and and zImage and other things to make it work. More effort than it's worth. What ROM you looking for? Is it a .zip SD card file or and Android folder type?

To the point - the fact you're asking this question leads me to believe you're not skilled enough to know how to perform all of the changes this would require.
My suggestion is you forget about the SD version and make the move to the NAND Android instead.
The DAF version is a way for Windows to put Android on your phone through the built-in bootloader onto the NAND chip on your phone. SD android is a completely different structure and you'll never find an "SD DAF" Android.

could you perhaps extract the system folder from the CWM zip, then use mkyaffs2image to build a system.img and drop that in place of the original system.img from the DFT version? (and teh same with the boot folder boot.img too, i would assume)
Or is that make believe?

Extracting the system folder from CWM zip wont work. Its because during the zip installation the updater script is beeing called and it creates a lot of symlinks. So, if you just extract and convert, you will miss the whole bunch of symlinks (and permissions, etc..)

Really?
Never heard of DAF then?
We're limited to either SD or CWM install, are we?

Heh, dig deeper.
The op is limited to usb only so yea, in this case we are limited to daf only, and he finds there isn't as wide range of daf roms, hence the perfectly reasonable question.
which part of the original post can't you understand?

Ah I thought maybe something like that, but figured I'd ask anyway, for myself if nothing else.

I'll assume your lack of English skills is the reason you've totally mis-understood every single thing i've written in this thread.

If I've missunderstood, it can only mean that even though it didn't sound like it, you do agree with me, in which case appology accepted, lets say no more about it.

Question about booting android

Im trading my HD7 for a HD2 on monday and i was looking at roms, i was placed into an instant confusion. What does it me to put files into sdcard/andriod, do you have to make your own folder cause im pretty sure the sd card doesnt already have that folder and how do you go to haret.exe from the phone itself? the hd7 functions are not the same so maybe thats why i have no idea whats going on.
Please help
-Thank You

Here's a link to the procedure to add Android using SD builds. Once you do the required steps, Haret, etc. will be added and you will not need to manually add them yourself. If you do not need Windows, I would recommend the NAND ROMs using CWM. Using CWM, you will be able to quickly change ROMs. Also, I found that the NAND ROMs boot faster and use less battery in standby and actual use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958

Basically what that means is to create a folder on the root of your SD card called "Android" and copy the ROM files to it then on your phone go to WinMo's built-in file manager and open the Android folder and run CLRCAD (audio file) then Haret.exe and you'll boot in to Android.

thank you for the replies, but would you mind giving me a step by step instruction for the NAND boot too then if thats more recommended since i wont be using windows anymore.
