With magldr you can have wp7 on nand and still boot android from sd card... you just have to either switch sd cards or partition your sd to split the storage between the 2 OS's. There are stickies in the Android SD Development section.

Atheist,
could you point me to the link bro, there is too much stuff about wp7 since the past 2 days,
I am under the impression that we cant have WP7 and Android on NAND at this point in time ,
Open to corrections,
Well you cant have both on nand, well not atm and especially not a LEO512 but you can run Android via SD card while WP7 is on phone.
There has been various guides posted in SD forum...
[REF] How to boot your SD build from magldr [quick guide]
[REF] Tutorial: How to partition sd card to run wp7 and android from same sd card
I think there is a few more aswell but these are the ones stickied in the SD card forum. I haven't personally tried these yet but will be soon.
oh wow, i'm gonna try that, wish there was a partition manager in magldr that will allow nand booting of WP7 and Android, i have LEO1024

[Q] Can I use respectively Android and Windows Phone 7 OS on the two sd cards??

I'm wondering that if I have 2 sd cards, can I use Android and Windows phone 7 OS on each card respectively?
If I could, I would buy one more sd card for android.
Actually, I the most like Windows Phone 7 OS among Android, WP7, Meego and WM6.5.
Could anybody tell me about it pls?
The short answer is no.
You can run Android from your SD card and still have a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM on your phone.
You can have an Android ROM flashed to your phone (NAND).
You can have WP7 flashed to your phone (NAND).
You cannot have two NAND builds flashed at the same time (e.g. Android and NAND).
Therefore the best you can do right now is to have either:
WinMo 6.5 AND Android, or
Android NAND, or
WP7
Your solution... buy another HD2
Yes, you can have WP7 on nand and attached with one sd card, and then use a different SD card to run android from. Android will not be on nand, but you can run it from sd with magldr. Thats what I'm doing so I have a lot of space for each os... I have my 16gb card for WP7, and my 32gb card I have several android builds working. Working great for me now! You have to make some changes to the init.rc file in most android builds to make them work, but there are a few that work as is. There's a couple stickied threads in the HD2 Android SD Development section.
Also, you can partition your SD card so you can have WP7 and android using the same card. Instructions also in the sd dev section.

[Q] Can I flash WP7 to Internal memory + have Android on SD Card
Hi Folks,
Got a question as you have already seen my title.
I see guides on dual booting WP7 and android from SD card but I just want to keep Android as a sub option. My question is:
1. Can I flash WP7 to internal memory and have Android within the SD card
2. Can I execute Android from WP7 menu?
At the moment I have Aretmis WinMo 6.5 as my main default load and Android on SD card and it works well. But i have got the curiosity bug for WP7 and want to explore further.
Can anyone help please.
Cheers

No, You have to shutdown WP7 then boot phone and then Keep holding power button 'till you see MAGLDR menu. After that, Choose Boot AD SD.

[Q] dual boot windows mobile 6.5 and android both from nand

Is it possible? I could only find threads about 6.5 from nand and android from sd, but i was thinking it should be possible to fit both to nand, and then use data2sd to send android apps and data to sd card, and install all wm apps to the sd card as well.

Yes you can dual boot WP7 and Android, but on WP7 can be inn NAND. You have to run Android from SD card. This is the only way you can dual boot both OS's. Also you can not use apps to SD with WP7 like you can with Android. For one thing WP7 does not support removable storage at all, and two WP7 actually uses the SD card in the HD2 for the internal storage.
i know i can run wp7 and android -___- i am talking about running windows mobile 6.5 and android, both on nand, you must have misread my post

Sorry about that I did miss read it, actually when I read it last night your thread was right under a thread asking about dual booting WP7 and Android plus I had been up all night working on a bootanimation, must have been seeing double lol.....
Anyway though the answer is still the same pretty much. You can run Win Mo from NAND and boot Android from SD card. You can either do it the old fashion way by using the file explorer to open CLCAD and HARET, or you can install a dual boot app in Win Mo to do it with just. Do some googl searching and you will find several apps for this. Just so you know though you can only boot one OS from NAND no matter what OS that is.
