No newbieguide, "how to`" from the scratch?

I simply don't know how to install programs on my HD2. I don't know where to install them either. I installed a newer rom version a month ago or so, but I just put it in a random place on my phone. I would really appreciate some help, because I am NOT satisfied with my HD2 atm. Sucks to write messages on it, it sucks to go through my contacts, because suddenly it lags and calls a person while I'm scrolling.
Guides like this doesn't help me AT ALL.

I mean, I have never had a wm-phone before. I'm used to ipa's and apps/hacks on Ipod Touch. That's it.

You download .cab files, then place them anywhere on your phone and then run them from there, it will ask you if you would like to install to memory card or phone memory.
Simple, dont go complaining about other peoples thread, that one isnt even supposed to guide you through installing programs.
I wasn't complaining, I just said that I don't know what the purpose is, and that there are no ohter newbie guides to people like me. I was just saying that you didn't have to link me to those guides, because I don't understand them. But thanks, I didn't know that it doesn't matter where I put the files.

You should have started out with a better first post mate. Rather then come on here moaning about stuff, tell us what your problems are and we'll usually try and help. Okay?

Just do plenty of reading, that's how most of us learn.
A Nokia 2110 is better.
No worries about installation.
Phone works perfect.
No touchscreen, no mistyping.
Nothing to learn about.
Could fit your needs.
Or an iPhone... similar functions...
If not, try and read trough this forum.
A journey always starts with the first step.

Android .exe is there one?

Hi all have had my HD2 for 3 months now and have all the usual issues and it has been back to Vodafone a few times I dont really want to get rid of it as it is perfect size etc for vids and calendar sms for and an old codger like me for work with bad eyesight..
Heres the question I am not brain of britain at this sort of thing and want to know if there is an Android .exe I can run from my micro sd card that has all the upgraded stuff you need for a stable phone........I can add apps and that sort of thing but my technical knowledge is somewhat vague....I dont understand what Froyo is and your terms for radio this that and the other and could be surfing on here for days and not understand much....
I understand the dual boot bit as in the Windows operating system ( or not as the case is )
and Android effectively runs over the top of it but thats as far as I can get...
Any help would be gratefully received..
Regards Lee F
ps has anyone else had their phone dial out evertime you play a track on Nitro?....I came back from France to find each time I changed a song it dialed hope for 10 seconds and had a huge bill of .75p connection charge some 90 odd times......
what ....when ...how...im confused
Android is in fact a whole other system compared to Windows Mobile, and as of now, it isn't completely finished/'out of beta' yet. It is still less stable than Windows Mobile is on your device.
What I do suggest you to do is take a look at this thread, and get started with HSPL'ing your phone, so you can install a custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
The phone dialing out is one thing it shouldn't be doing for sure.
Actually sounds like a trojan horse.
Did you change the song with your wired headset? Because it can be used to dial the last dialed number that could be your problem. Also some earphones/speakers without a button can sometimes initiate it when you move the plug around....

Well, that's no way to treat a fellow! Y'ought to explain to 'im.
Android on the HD2 is not finished yet (and will always require things like flashing or other not noob safe things) and has therefore some bugs, problems and limitations. For someone who isn't that good with technical things and hasn't read/understood all those guides it could cause some problems and misunderstandings etc. I can imagine someone sending in his HD2 for repair because his ambient light sensor doesn't work in Android...
...or at least opening some threads here and asking tons of dumb questions that could be easily answered by reading the stickies or using the search.

There is no such .exe file. To Run Android you only need to run a .exe and a few files with it. But without a suitable Radio (the part of you operating system that is responsible for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and everything else that sends/receives data over the air), you will get problems. But finding and updating a suitable Radio sadly isn't as easy as running a .exe
But there are many guides on it which should help you, in case you still want to do it.
Buddy,
Right at the top of the forum here there are sticky threads that contain all the information you need to get HD2 running android. Please post you're questions there instead of opening a new thread.

[Q] Android Boot Issue

Hello. I have searched all over the web to find the answer to my issue to no avail. It used to be that my HD2 could boot android no problem. But then on very rare occasions, it would shut off then turn back on after a few seconds on the HTC Splash Screen. Then the problem became more common to the point where it became annoying. This time I took action. I booted back into Winmo and looked in the root of my sd card. I deleted all my folders and files pertaining to Android except the Android folder itself and anything inside. This made it work for a while until the folders and files came back. The issue seemed to get so frequent that i could barely get into android no matter what I did. I even hard reset to see if that would work. Needless to say it did not. I also put a new android folder of the same rom inside after deleting the old one. I am at my wits end. It wont even boot now. I understand it is still very new, but this rom (Darkstone nexus one froyo v 2.1) worked like a dream on my phone. (Almost as fast as winmo ) Please help me.
PS The files dont appear now nor do the folders
HOW TO REQUEST FOR HELP ON XDA
Again, personal point of view here, but there are a lot of "unsaid" things around there....
1. Nothing more annoying than a "noob" (and we've ALL been through there, but...) that didn't (at least) try looking for himself.
-> Use wisely the "Search on this thread" button. It's WORKING. Tip: If you're not on a specific thread, but rather in the Development of General sub-forum, tick the "Post" button to avoid going through entire threads for a single answer.
2. Do remember: you're not alone.
-> DON'T BE RUDE, BE POLITE, SAY HI, THANK PEOPLE, we all have to be patient. It's XDA Community. Plus, some threads are moving real fast, and may have flooded your question. Ask again, and just don't complain!
-> EDIT YOUR SIGNATURE. Insert your ROM, Radio, Phone model, etc etc etc. Most common answer to noob problems: "WHAT'S YOUR ROM"
->Try asking GOOD QUESTIONS, starting with (Hi!) "I've been looking for this, found this, understood this, but need help about that" (Thanks) and you'll see how people will be more inclined to answer ^^

So:
- What's your Android Build
- What's ur Phone (US or EU)
- What's your Kernel
- Did you try formatting your SD card
- Did you consider buying another Sd card
- etc

Problem with running android on my HTC

First of all, I'm new to this forum (Hi!) and I know this is probably posted in the wrong section, but I don't have enough posts to post it in the appropriate one and I don't want to go spam random comments.
Anyhow, I have an HTC Touch (Either a Vogue or an HTC Elf, I can't see the difference). I've been trying to get Android on my phone using this tutorial (+ the file in the description "Android Eclair for HTC Vogue")
www youtube com/watch?v=XftzWJW_TyM&feature=player_embedded
All goes well until I try running HaRET, it says "Jumping to Kernel" after running it, gives me a grey/black screen, then a white screen and then it sort of freezes.
Now I know I need to use the right default.txt, but for some reason I can't find the right one anywhere and I think that's my problem.
Thanks in advance!
This is the way I got Myn's Warm Donut working on my OKTA Touch (HTC Vogue).
Just follow the instructions here and you will be fine. Also don't skip any of them out either as you will just brick your phone
It's by far the easiest way to do it

There's a critical difference between the CDMA Touch (Vogue) and GSM Touch (Elf) - their chipsets. Vogue is MSM, Elf is OMAP. there is no Android port for the Elf.
Thanks for the answers, but here's a small update, I'm 99 percent sure I have an Elf now, since I just tried what this post (/thread) said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4430936&postcount=551
It works, but I can't make calls, can't take pictures, ...
Any ideas what I could do or where I could download non-outdated files?
Thanks!

Get thee to the elf forum... perhaps this thread could be magically transported there?

I didn't know I had an HTC Elf when I made this thread, sorry :3.
