Here is the app I wrote back for the TP2 to cook Android into your rom for basically an Android only rom. All you have to do is zip up the new release and rename to android.zip and throw it into the EXT. Included is v3 of the Android with Sense port that dcordes posted on XDA.
This will not turn into a discussion about the actual porting of Android. The only thing that should be discussed in this thread is if you have any issues or questions about my app itself. The porting of Android can be discussed elsewhere.

anyone tried this yet?
This is the rom I made for the TP2 using this app. Also, don't pay attention to the errors with android in that thread as they have no relevance to the HD2 port
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=118191
so if a chef cooked this into a rom, we would have bootable android on the hd2? Sorry if im way off haha, and also either way, what version of android is it?
All this app does is interrupt windows mobile booting and installs android to your sd card. Then on the next boot it will interrupt it again and automatically run HARET from your sd card.
so, in short you will still have to have the overhead of some components from windows mobile in the rom to boot, but only about 25MB worth of stuff.
V3 of the Sense port at the following link. http://gamesquare.co.uk/
Nice! I was thinking of doing the same thing. I will give this a try.

Even if it works, what it does is that it allows you to run Android which you can as such do without using this by simply tapping on HARET on SD card. While Android porting itself is unstable, this will not add any stability, will it?

Nope, just something to play with. And usage in the future might be better, but I did this for the TP2 awhile back with Android a lot more stable there. But it will be a good app just to play with and then when Android gets more stable a possible permanent tool to use.

has listed that a new v5 update is coming on the 21st of July that has a bunch of fixes. But there is no way to download it . anyone have any idea where I can get a ROM that i can use daily. PREFERABLY stock 2.1 or 2.2 but whatever is stable and ready for daily use will do. Thank you all for your answers ahead of time. REALLY want to get rid of my iPhone and get an HD2
I have read something that there is an Energy Droid ROM that NRGZ28 dropped but cant find it or his directions. There is way too many posts and threads here to find things sometimes.

Just scroll down. The link is in the V4 section. It says "download"...
Well I should have asked, are the UK dl and the twitter Dl links just SD run roms or do they fully take over the hd2 and run alone wiping winmo? I'm not interested in dual boot. serves no purpose in my opinion.
None wipe WinMO at this point. The twitter links are generally patches for developers or anyone who wants to experiment with the version theyve downloaded. Best you can do at this point is donate to the developers suport, time, and money and they will be done soon.

Thanks. I just can't see dual booting. I'll wait like everyone else. Thanks for the reply.
If anybody would bother reading, what NRGZ28 has posted, or the readme in the download ..
From Readme By NRGZ28
This package is a combination of a minimal WM ROM made by me (NRGZ28) and the latest "Desire" V4 Android build for the HD2 made by Cotulla! More info can be found here http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html
In order to run this on your HD2, you have to copy THREE files to the root folder of a storage card and insert it in the device. YOU CANNOT RUN THIS WITHOUT A STORAGE CARD. If the OS detect no storage card, it will shut down automatically. Now...
Copy "data.img","rootfs.img" and "system.sqsh" found in the 7z archive, to the ROOT of your storage card.
These files require about 400 MBytes, so make sure you have at least that much available on the card. A class 4 or Class 6 card is recommended for best performance.
If you find that you don't like this ROM and want to get back to your regular Windows Mobile ROM, turn the phone off (press the End key inside Android or simply pull the battery) and hold the "Volume Down" key on the side of the phone, as you're turning it on with the red power key. It will bring you to the multi colored bootloader screen, where you can plug in your cable and flash your favorite ROM.
1. Sugggestions
- Choose the HTC Sense interface on startup when you're asked what you want to run. It runs better.
- Go to Settings / Wireless & Networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Names and push the "windows" key on the device to get the menu to pop out. Here you can add the access point for your provider. For example, it's "wap.voicestream.com" for TMobile USA. You can look this up easily on XDA. This is a required step to get DATA services in Android.
- The "windows" key is your menu key in android.
Enjoy and be sure to thank Cotulla for his hard work on this !!

Ya thats all I could find, what you just posted.
Don't expect to see a stable daily use ROM any time soon. Try looking around at the other devices that have Android ported for the last year. Do they have a flashable ROM ? Nope........! Don't expect one for the HD2 anytime soon. If you want Droid as an every day OS go get an Android phone. That's really your only solution.
Does the new Desire build have to have the newest zImage also?
Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to connect your phone to your PC in Desire v5. You don't get the "Mount phone" option in the notification area.
Also, native camera app doesn't work, as it forces you to use the optical trackball to take a pic, but HD2 doesn't have optical trackpad. CameraMagic works fine though.

internet not working.....
how do i get the internet and my voice calls to work properly.....I have android up and working, just having those 2 issues
Here we go. I DL'ed the zip, and unzipped it. I do not see a ROM to install? I was under the impression that this would install a basic ROM + Everything needed to run Android (except I have to copy the 3 files to the SD). Does it not. Do I have to install a basic ROM myself first, and if so, how do I then make this Android work on boot?
Anyone? Maybe fast help? (I'm leaving work soon and wanted to do it before)...

I mean detail you are using an htc sense build but what build are you using how are you updating and how do you know the update was successful yielding to android nand flash
HÖÖÖÖÖÖ merry christmas waiting for video (fake?)
hmmmm
seems to be a sense build by the looks of it. I dont think its as easy as doing an over the air update to get it to install to NAND, although it would be halarious if it ended up being so easy. More info would be great. Im still on the side that screams "FAKE!" though.
really some type of details would be great at this point. heck what windows rom are you using ill try it myself.

wait please... did u used OTA update,like flashed phone memory and installed android-or just patched HARET to do linux booting from phone storage???
I ask this cause i tracking NAND development all the time-there is no flashing yet...
please reply
Think he has only managed to run an over the air update - probable only updates android but will not be nand - chances are the update will screw his android build and will have to format his SD card... my thoughts anyway from the pictures.
I'll like to tell you guys but I don't know myself
I always try to update Android on my Leo when ever I put a new build on it
And this time it worked
It turns the phone off
Like when it does when flashing so I hold the volume buttos down
I'm going flash my Rom and try it again
I'll make a video of it, if it works ill post it
And no its not fake

build details? what android and or winmo build are you running so I can try to do it myself
My opinion and it is just opinion but what i think is he may be using a rom from a 2.1 build that is getting updated to 2.2 and it downloading it as an update for the orig phone. Will it work ???? Will it install to memory or sd card??? Heck stranger things have happen here on xda...... Why i dont think it will work is cause the download is just 25mb...... A full firware update would be much bigger I would think....
Even if it did work, it may flash a radio from a different device and brick the phone....I wouldn't do it....
I've tried to figure it out what is written on screen

I smell fake, but the logic behind it kinda works:
Modify a WinMo Update to contain Android and let the HD2 update. But there are to many things that have to be modified so it can be adopted to the HD2.
All it does is download the update and asks you if you want to install it which reboot the phone but does nothing since it just boots into windows mobile instead of the actual update.

Well, use the latest(first in list) htc-msm-linux. After the download completes, copy and rename zImage**** to zImage(replace the old zImage) the modules don't need rename, just delete the old modules. I've already posted that in the gingerbread thread, you can read it, take a look at the video, you will like it, I like it
more than FROYO X (I'm talking about the Gingerbread)

There is something you mess up! Mine runs with Launcher Pro
Gingerbread is much better than froyo in general, but as I say there is a lot of work to do (the developers)!

I'll tell you how I'm doing it. I've just downloaded the gingerbread image, I used to boot it
with the pack(haret+startup) of froyo x, and I've updated the kernel, and modules ofcourse, and rootfs optionally! And it works for me.
BTW, try to put the device into 'Airplane Mode' and tell us if it freezes.
I'm really tired now, I'm coming back from work, so bye!

Read that thread and follow the instructions there.
If you cant solve it with those instructions your are much more likely to get an answer from someone with experience with the build or even the creator of the build. Any complaint of a crash or nonstart should come hand in hand with a log.

Please help me. I have Android 11 -11.0.2.2 IN11AA. On the news feeds I see that there's an Android Beta 5 for the 8 series. I didn't know that the Beta was still happening after I had 3. Help me to understand the difference. Do I want to stay with 11.0.2.2 or go to the beta?
Thanks
I have tried both the beta is more usable and stable than the stable version.
In beta your getting the same updates faster (almost nothing is changed in stable compared to the beta)
I just installed the Beta 5. Right off the bat it's faster than stock 11. No complete wipe, I liked that. Not bugs yet but I'd expect some I guess. But so far so good
Thanks
Beta works a treat for me....
