I installed Froyo 2.2 by darkstone recently and everything is working well except one issue. After I installed the software, if i reset or turn off my phone I go back to winmo6.5.. How do i keep android up and running?
It would probably help if you told us what device you are talking about.
wesideballer96, there's a Q&A section you'd better post this kind of questions in. Expect to see your posts closed or moved often if you keep going like this.
And if you don't search the forum before posting, expect to be bashed or banned.
Anyway, did you try this:

for most wm6.x devices it is not possible to use android as primary os. you probably installed it on memory card. but in the ROM you still have wm6.x.
im using htc hd2 and have costom wm6.5.3 rom in the phone and a nice clean froyo port from desire on my memory card.
when iturn the phonw on it goes in wm6.5.3 but i have instalede dualboot app that emediatly pops up and sks me if i want to use wm6.5.3 of android 2.2 (froyo).
but remembEr. firSt it goes to wm, asks me for pin number, then i only have 2 buttons on the screen BOOT ANDROID, BOOT WINDOWS MOBILE (wm is already ready to use you just dont see it).
dualboot app is basicli a nice shell over the wm desktop that helpsyou to run haret.exe by simply pressing a BOOT ANDROID button.
search on this forum for a dualboot app for yourt model.
sory for bad english.

Hi, i believe some of you remember that i am switching from X1 to HD2... Well, i have changed it and i'm using it now (love the big screen)
I was wandering around this forum... I saw a post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578575&highlight=dualboot
What does it actually means by: "ANDROID/MAEMO/LINUX on HD2"
Is it that when i flashed it, my Windows OS platform is gone for good???
Then... ... I searched deeper. LOL, and notice this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792
I am very very attracted to the DualBoot... Thats actually i wanted for my HD2.
Well, thats not my main question/request...
A troublesome request will be appearing after this sentence, i hope that you guys wouldn't feel fed-up. *(Apologize to you first)*
The most important question... Is it compatible for HD2??? If its not, sorry for this post.
If it is compatible, could someone spare me their time to guide me along the step and procedures to install the android OS and then the DualBoot.
If possible, mind attaching/link the required file for this whole process.
A million thanks to you guys. Sorry if i speak a bit to harsh
P.s. Sorry if there is a guide already up there in the forum . I'm a student and need to study for my test, didn't have time to search so many pages
I don't mind if you copy/paste the guide here... Just attach the required files needed.
Thanks once again
...Sorry if i speak a bit to harsh
I would like to advice you to read more of the ANDROID/MAEMO/LINUX on HD2 thread. You'll see that it still is in full development. For android to work developers need to create a custom kernel that will run on the HD2 using Haret. There is no question of a nand flash of android as of yet.
Now even with the use of Gen.Y dualboot, if you are not able to boot into android, the application in itself is still useless (on HD2). Furthermore, the dual boot application does in fact start your windows mobile Rom but directly start Haret instead of completely loading windows mobile (correct me if i'm wrong please).
So to sum up. Don't worry about flashing over windows mobile. This isn't possible (yet). Running android is not working (yet). And even with the use of Gen.Y dualboot, you'd still run windows mobile as a flashed rom and not Android itself.
I do have to ask though. If you just got the phone and already want Android.. why didn't you get an android phone? Ofcourse if you are like me and just like to tinker with your phone I can understand .
hay guys sorry id some of you get mad for me posting this here but this is the only place i know my qustion will get answered. OK im new to the windows phone deal. i have a mytouch slide and a g1 rooted so i under that hole part here is my ?.
From what i have read on the forums only build roms work with the hd2. well i would like to put android on it but after looking around most the roms on here and the links on here for putting android on the phone all lead to the LEO forum is the correct or no if not can someone tell me were to get the most resent android rom for the hd2 usa, now there seems to be two ways of installing it one is from sd card and 2 is from boot i would like to do it from boot any help would be grate thanks all and happy modding
Someone correct me if I am wrong...
There are not TWO ways of doing android.
Android is ALWAYS installed on the SD card. The only way to "boot" to it is to have your WM configured to boot the two files from your SD card required to run it, in essence there are a few apps that can do this at WM startup.
You will still need an Android friendly Windows Mobile ROM, so the stock from will not work. You also need a compatible radio.
I would check out the HD2 Android Dev forum for more info though.

The Android port cannot replace the WinMo OS just yet. The only way is to install it to your SD Card and it will run off of that. There are apps that allow you to choose between WinMo and Android on bootup. The LEO Android forum is correct since Android builds do not matter which device it is booted on.
Android is able to run on the Stock ROM, but people have said it runs better with a different ROM/Radio.
The build I recommend is Energy ROM / Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and an Android Build of your choice, but you can always run it on the Stock if you feel like it.

+1 EnergyROM w/ 2.12.50.02 radio works very nicely for me.

I would look Here (FroyoStone thread) first and see how you like it. Latest release Sep 2nd.
Also when you download the Rom your prob wanna need the rmnt version. Froyostone is the best my far for me and bootloaders are for people with more then one Android Rom on there sdcard

I have a brand new HD2 and wanted to wipe WM completely and have only 1 OS (Android). From the searches i did. It appears that there is no way to have only 1 os.. You MUST have WM and put the andriod os on the SD card..
Can the experts who have been in this field confirm.
If it is possible, can someone please advise how?
thanks.
We will be able to soon. The dev's are currently fine tuning the linux boot loader. Once they release it we will be able to have our choice of OS. Eg: WM 6.5 WM 7 or Android!!!! Really looking forward to it. Will breath new life into a fantastic phone!
man it's in plain sight

Until NAND development is completed you must have Windows Mobile as your primary rom and load Android via haret. Information about this is available all over the HD2 Android General Forum if you want to learn more about it
Thread Closed.
Perhaps a stupid nob question - but here it goes...
I need to be able to still run WinMo 6.5.5 because we use some WinMo apps at work, so if i flash a Android NAND Rom, can i still boot WinMo in my custom ROM (Dutty v.13) with all the apps and stuff i have installed under WinMo?
Just need to know befor i flash a Andorid MNND rom.
It's easy to choose if you run Android from the SD card, but it would be nice to run a NAND Android Rom instead.
Nope. It is an either or situation with NAND. NAND completely erases the WinMob OS and puts android in it's place.
Just out of curiosity, what is it that you need windows for?

Thanks for the quick and precise respons ;-)
We only use mobil phones at work and have a littel app for directing calls and choosing witch phone queue we are on. And that littel app only works with WinMo :-(
I think dual booting is the best way to go for you. Use wnmo at work and android at home.
Or, ask your company to get on with the times and develop a port for Android and IOS
TBH I think you lose nothing with sticking to Android in RAM and running a sweet sweet custom Winmo 6.5 - I know that Android on HD2 is stellar, but between Laurentius 5.1, Energy, and Dutty you are really covered for WM6.5 as they are all superb.
But yes - NAND really does wipe WM completely
In all honesty RAM builds are faster than NAND ones for now.
Thanks guys - il'l stick with one of the new Android RAM builds.
Hi All,
Today just now I have flashed my phone with TMOUS HD2 with RUU 2.13 on earlier installed Android.
Android was installed as NAND.
After this RUUing, the phone has become extremely sluggish and hands every now and then.
I feel that it seems to be synchronizing with something. (The strange part, I dint any of my logins to connect).
Could anyone please guide how to get rid of this and make my phone smooth.
Later I plan to install Win 7.8 on HD2

Really?? Well you should see in which section your posting before you post something and spam the section.
This is a development section dude, not a Q&A or troubleshooting section.

i think you have used zram..in android build you used............
zram reduces the life of ram......................
you try ram cleaner once in winmo6.5..................some android cache memory may be there in ram so only............clean the ram using any cab..in winmo6.5
