[Q] HELP! Wants to convert to Android =) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi All,
Firs of all I want to say, what a great site. Fantastic that there are people who all pull together for the good of technology.
Now to what I am looking to do,
I have the HTC HD 2 running windows 6.5 (I think). Now I want to install Android to run off the SD card, I know this is possible as it is all over xda/net, what I am finding is there is not a link to say "This is the latest one and here is how to do it" (Correct me if I am wrong or point me in the direction)
Could anyone please send me a link to the download of the best working android for my HD2 that will run off the SD card.
I have a good understanding of application deployment etc, I just need a basic instruction and a link to the files required.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Many thanks,
Jake =)

Lets COOK some ...... ANDROID !

With kind regards and thanks to a member of this forum, stuliv12, who provided us with a link to a HTC Click ROM, im asking all the chefs of this forum to be so kind and port Android on Jade. Only you have the skills needed to do so.
I believe that many of us here would want to make their Jade even better, by running Android on it
I have uploaded the ROM to Megaupload, so that you dont have to go to the original site and register.

Looking forward to seeing and testing Android on Jade.
Thank You in advance.

It's really good news. Let's improve this sparkle and make a big fire.
I want to use Android on my Jade so much.
I'm willing to support to develepors at least as a tester.
I appreciate the efforts of arseny1991 to encourage the Jade users about Android.
I hope we'll hear some good news soon.
Greetings,
I also would love to help with this project.
Please cooks, tell me how i could help... I have some IT knowledge, but really didnt had the time yet to learn how to cook...
Regards,
Jhaquo
i believe that we need to test Android with Haret first, because its more safe (we wont brick our Jade).
To do so, we should get the kernel out of the Tattoo ROM. Any idea how we can do that ? How to decompile the ROM provided earlier in this thread ?
I did have a go at opening up the attached file (the .exe above)
I used uniextract to extract the .exe and then that revealed a whole load of files, but the bulk of the space was taken by a cab file (90 odd mb). I tried to open the cab but can't succeed - I can see the content is made up of 2 files and 1 of the files is a .img file so this is the kernel.
All have a go and see if you can get to this file.
Louis
thats the same with me, i can see the two files and the .img, but i cant seem to extract it, if i could, i have the hariet for my elf, and can just swap the img files etc to see how it starts.
The main issues i would have thought would be how the keys are mapped, as the Tattoo has the home and back buttons, i assume we could re-map these to up and down respectivly?
any thoughts?
Lets not get ahead of ourselves worrying about the mapping of buttons - the first major hurdle is getting all the necessary files, and then the second major hurdle is booting - Once we have achieved those 2 goals we can worry about button mapping.
Anybody got any ideas about how to extract those files? Anybody extract files from a HTC rom .exe before as they could be packed in a similar fashion.
Louis
look what i stumbled upon.....

Good find - unfortunately the links don't work - I see the links have been asked for - lets hope they post.

1. the scrolling is very smooth on the tattoo much faster than my jade
2.the music sound 100 times better than the jade(tattoo has a 3.5jack)
3. putting aps on the android is a bit if a pain ie u just cant download a cab and just click it on ur phone these are .apk files and to install the same u need to use the sync and a tool called the aps installer on the same to install an application this u can do only through the comp a little bit of a a pain
and their is some thing called the rooting on the android something like our HSPL i still havent got it its not as easy as the HSPL we do
u need to create a gold card all that stuff which is still quite confusing
but i am enjoying the feel of the tattoo its great experience
and u dont have anything like our pim backup for the android so every time u flash a new rom u need to sync with ur comp or google account
this is also quite a pain for me
but u realy cant compare a WM to ADM
from my experience both are diffrent and thank god i kept my jade and did not dispose it so i got two toys to pay with
Note : the india version of the tattoo is not 3G
Thanks Haree for the reply. I think that Android is very promising OS but we are in the beginning and like anything it needs time to be well developed , also programs for it. In this point of view WM is years in front.

New to HD2. Help with froyo install please?

hello everyone. i recently had my touch pro2 swapped out for the hd2 and i would like to put android on it. i've found some files from a developer named darksense but i'm not quite sure how to make use of them. can anyone explain how to install android on a fresh HD2? or at least link me to a thread in the forums that will help. thank you in advance
p.s. i've noticed two installation methods(SD and NAND) i'd prefer the NAND because from what i've gathered, i dont HAVE to have an SD card that will hold the OS

Click on the link in my sig for my guide and read the whole thing before flashing anything. Also I have to guides on how to install Android linked at the top of my guide.

[Q]

Hello,
Can somebody help me??
I have a HTC HD2 dutch version with latest rom update
Now i like to have a dual boot with an Android version with launcher
in Windows mobile if posible.
Can sombody tell me how to instal and where to download android rom
or other needed stuff.
Pls let me know.
Thanks.
You need to place an SD build of Android on the root of your SD card (ideally it needs to be an SDHC class 2 or faster card with 4gb or more space). It can then be launched via Windows Mobile using the file manager or an app. I would personally recommend the RafDroid 4.2 SD build as it is incredibly stable and has fully functioning camcorder and no UI graphical errors.
I would read the faqs in the SD builds forum first to get acquainted with the process, and types of builds available.

Good place to start
I would take a look at a program called RunDroid. it will allow you to dual-boot winmo or android. you can find it here. i would also look under Rom Flashing Guides in the hd2 stickies found here. this will give you all the information you need to know. if you are finding it hard to follow i would look up a video on youtube to help you along.

The best Windows Mobile ROms to use for dual booting is the 3.14 based ROMs. Now if you are talking about Windows Phone 7 then you just need to install a 2.08.50.?? version or higher version radio then install MAGLDR, then your ROM. Then you have to set up the partitions on your SD card if you want to use the same SD card for WP7 and Android. Just click on the guide that is in my sig and is also a stickie here in the general section, it has info and links to info about doing what you want to do.

Google is your friend. Search before posting. If you had done that, you would easily have found the guide in my sig which tells you everything you need to know, although you should also read the guide on being a new user and not a noob.
