As i am sure it will be!
My question is - as you need to run Haret as an application within windows mobile, does that mean that windows mobile is still running in the background hogging resources that Android could use?
I'm not quite sure how this works on the other ported devices - or does Haret kind of install and boot killing (as in switching off) the windows mobile?
No, WM will completely vanish from memory.
You must boot into windows mobile first because of hardware initialisation. Haret will load itself into memory (kernel image), start, and mark all the rest of memory as unallocated (so full RAM available).
Thanks - that makes sense
Is there anything which will let me return to windows mobile after I install android on my HTD HD2?
Basically I want a dual booting option so I can still use Windows Mobile - as I have just realised, just before install Android, that it is acutally quite useful. ???
Take out your SD card. Boot up. And place your card back in. Toodles.
Android cannot be "installed" yet. When you have android on your sdcard it will still boot windows first, then it gives you the option to boot android.
Some windows mobile roms ie. Chuckyrom, have a built in android loader, so that every time you boot you can choose which os to use.
Thanks
Thanks for the help - That must have sounded like a noob question - I am new to the whole putting android on the HD2 thing.
Thanks.
i have an htc hd2 from tmobile and i dont like windows mobile. i can run android off of my sd card buts its kinda slow. is there a way to put an android rom on the phone so that instead of booting into windows mobile and then into android from the launch android thing can i get it so it just goes into android when i turn it on?
Simple answer=No. Read the stickies for info on why.
hi
is there any way to load ubuntu 3 for hd2 from nand android?
+1 yes it is possibly ?
1. i copied the files on my sd-card.
2. renamed initrd.cpio.gz to initrd.gz
3. renamed zImage_htcleo_usbhost_2.6.32.9-38182-g6ad7e77 to zImage
in magdlr:
1.i go to 9.services then 1.boot setting then 2.always menu
2-i go to 9.services then 1.bootsetting then 3.ad sd dir and select linux folder
3.shut down
after power on the magdlr menu appear, and if i select boot ad nand, android will boot compeletly, and if i select boot ad sd haret will execute, but after complete loading and when mouse pointer appear, phone will restart,whats the problem?

Wrong!
haret is a windows mobile executable and it has nothing to do with magldr.

linux and android don't in the same way.
ask the cook of your android rom to enable kexec on the kernel in his next release, then you should be able to boot ubuntu from within android.
a bit like haret on windows.

is there any android build that kernels support kexec now?
and if i download it, problem will be solved?

not that i know off, so it's up to some rom chef to enable it so we can test it.

Interesting thanks.
Well is it now possible to boot ubuntu from android?
And is there a tutorial? If not, may anyone post something about that.
I'm using the Typhoon Android and it would be a funny gimick to boot Ubuntu
Ehm i read somewhere that someone booted Win98 oder 95 on the HD2 is there a Video up or a hp?
only if someone ports a similar Haret app on Android but im pretty sure theres other ways via terminal not sure
I am also very interested in a haret for Android! This would be great.
I use NO windows anymore (on any device for that matter) and would like too keep it that way
Super cool job, looks great in the youtubes...
it would be very nice to know if there's a way. thank you all
i would guess there's 2 ways for this to work. 1: from inside android after it's already loaded (like haret) and 2. from the bootloader when you first start your phone up.
i know with a PC, you can have any OS's files on a hard drive, or partition or whatever. but if your bios doesn't know it's there, it wont just go auto looking for it. it will tell you 'operating system not found' or something along those lines. now when you install an OS on a PC it updates that boot menu, or in linux the grub menu which is pretty much the same thing. there's also a program handy in windows called 'easyBCD' and linux has the 'startupmanager' respectively. so it's already been taken care of in those OS's and i gotta think it can't be that hard to get one going for mobile OS's as well.
i would think, it shouldn't be that hard to direct the bootloader at the startup of the phone, to wherever your directory for your phone's OS is located (and similarly for a secondary OS). just a matter of modifying that line so it reads into the correct directory. of course i can't program but it sounds right
非常有趣的感谢~
First off not to sound rude to anyone but haret builds can boot within magldr but a proper roof.img is needed for magldr and not windows. i dual boot sd builds and nand all the time when i use magldr but im using cLK cause i work at night and dont want to risk the battery dying on me. Also have you try the hd2 toolkit not the one for flashing clk or magldr but the that loads hbl to boot up ubuntu here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095726 just for the new ones that dont know.
It's very possible, we just need a dev who's motivated enough to create a app, or script that will execute the correct terminal codes.
Ubuntu with Android
On Ubuntu website, they claim to have Ubuntu working (in near future) on smartphomes supporting ARM. From what I gather, they install Ubuntu but only with Android system. Is anyone working on this? I use windows to sync in with all contacts and calendars, but want to do this with Ubuntu.
Hello
I have a Omnia 2
I installed Froyo 2.2 on the external SD with the dual boot start up. The dual boot is set with Android as default. Everything works ok except for when I switch on the phone it loads a little bit in windows and then to android. Meanwhile until android loads if I get any messages it goes to the windows version :S
The problem is the windows version no longer works as I want it to (I think it got offended) so I can’t really see the messages.
Question: How can I set my phone to load ONLY and directly to Android? So there will be no need of the dual boot and no need to load a bit of windows.
Thank you.
I'm using it exactly as you and I think it's not possiblle.
Dual boot as u expect is not possible, b'coz our Android is not a NAND ROM.
The phone will first boot to Windows Mobile and then the dual boot application will run the Haret file to launch Android.
