[Q] Suggestion for installation thread

I am very interested in the Android development for HTC HD2 and I would very much like to try one of these builds. However, I'm totally confused as to what to do, how to install, what to install, which version to choose, etc. In other words.... I'm not a developer!
I would therefore suggest an "Available Android Release Thread" here on the forum, where each developer who is working on this can have a post that they can update when they update their release, and where they could list the installation steps and the prerequisites for going through with it.
If this already exists, please excuse me, I just didn't find it.
If it doesn't, I would appreciate it greatly if you could take the time to create it.
Thanks, and let me add that I and probably the entire HD2 user community, greatly appreciate and value the effort you guys are putting into this!

1)Install HSPL on your win mo.
2)Load Radio 2.12.50 (must end with 50) via bootloader.
3)Download hyperdroid v 1.5
4)In your root of your sdcard, create a folder "HyperDroidV1.5"
5)Copy the files you have downloaded to the folder you just created.
6)Open up the folder, tap on CLRCAD to enable sound.
7)Tap up on Haret.exe to boot linux.
8)Wait for about 5 mins for initial.
9)Viola, you got android on your phone.
P/S : If you dont know the terms yet, do some homework by googling it. It is readily available in the net.

there are stickies on how to install, what version is personal prference
and the majority of devs who release their builds do say in inthe first thread of what to do to get it running

THANKS, thats pretty straight forward... now how do we dual boot with windows mobile after doing that?
and how do we get back to WinMo after that, and after getting back to WinMo, how do get back to Droid?

you either use one of ther many dualk boot loaders or you run it manually within windows
you reboot your phone from android to get back into windows

Your phone turns into a motorola droid or droid 2?

Just an FYI...
My wife has the same phone and she hates it, for obvious reasons. I will soon be using her phone to create an instructional video that will take you through the whole processes.
I will be including installing HSPL, Radio, Winmo ROM,and finally Android.
So, when time permitting and I can swipe her phone for long enough...

I've done several searches and run many different versions, but I'm still getting sleep death issues. Quick question and answers, has this issue been resolved for sure and where can I find the link to solve it?

Latest HTCclay version and supposedly the latest Mattc are SOD free. Can't say for sure on Mattc cause I have not tried yet, but HTCclay one is. Problem with that one though is BT is dead in the water.

Thanks, but I flashed my winmo ROM and updated the radio, now I'm using sergio's desire build perfectly
One thing that should be noted, my feeling is that WM stock ROM messes with android and causes a whole mess of problems, so you should flash an approved ROM before booting your android. This is JUST IN MY EXPERIENCE.
Had SOD with every build before, now I'm nearing the end of my second day with no SOD issues at all.

[Q] Anroid boots ok but can't get any applications installed.

I live in France and have successfully loaded one of the Meejay-froyo sense build on my phone. I can boot Android Ok, but nothing seems to have changed. My home screen and my start menu look the same as on winMo.
1) I cannot installed any applications, I don't have Android Market, when I open the Android Market from any of the 6 browsers I had under winMo (and which are working even with Android), I DO NOT GET THE "SEARCH" option.
2) When I download any non Market application to my sD card, I cannot install it.
One will say that I need the App installer and so on, but this is also in an *.apk format and I could not go further.
So PLEASE, ANY HELP WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

If your home screen and start menu look the same as in windows mobile then you're not running Android. Fair enough, it's a Sense build, so there's not a massive difference between Sense on winmo and Android, but the start menu is totally different.
Are you running clrad.exe & haret.exe to boot Android?
Is this your first time trying to use Android, or have you had any other builds running for you?

Thank you John for your reply. That was the first build I've put on the phone. I'm using a Android Loader application to boot Android.

If you're sure it's booting okay then it sounds like the copy of Android you're using is somehow corrupted. I'd recommend downloading a different one and trying that instead.
I can vouch for the stabililty of this one, as it's what I use...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747492
It's at least worth trying so that you can rule it out, if nothing else.

Okay,
I'll uninstall the previous one and try the one you mentionned. Then I will see. Thanks a lot.

[Q] Some (maybe) simple questions!

Hi, i have some questions for you guys
1: Are there something out there which makes me able to choose winmo or android when i boot up my phone?
2: If that exists, where is the newest version of android?? what should i install... i really wanna keep winmo on my phone cause i think it looks nice, its just a little buggy.. thats why i wanna try out android...
I have seen these "harret" android versions which you can boot on top of windows, but doesnt that just slow down the phone.. to having two OS's running???
THX, Qwak

It's the only way (for now) to boot your android, so yeah, there are several programs that allow you to choose between Winmo or Android at startup.
Newest version of android...well depends on what build you use. I suggest reading some more information on these boards to see what suits you best.

Haret doesn't run Android alongside Windows, it kicks Windows out of the phone's memory, and boots Android from the SD card. Android will run nice and fast.
As far as an app to choose which operating system you want to use upon booting up your device, Exceller bootlauncher is the way to go.
Just look in HD2 Android Developement forum, or do a search using the site's search function and keyword exceller, you're sure to find it.
Try a few different Android builds, they're all great, and Exceller will allow you to choose between different builds.
You just cant have them in folders named the same thing, so you may have to edit the startup.txt in your Android folders so that your rel_path corresponds with what you name your folder to.
Might sound confusing now, but once you get down to it, it'll seem simple

you write that it "kicks windows out"... just to be sure, windows will still be there right??

yeah, windows will still be there... it never leaves you
what huggs mean is, that windows will not be running in the background. I will be "kicked out" of the memory.
When you reboot your Leo fom android - guess what - windows will load first again...
You'll see, it never leaves you

ok super nice!!
one last question: i have downloaded a version of android, but the file contains three folders: android, data_512, data_1024... is it nessesary to copy all three folder over??

No you don't have to, just copy the "Android" folder to sd card then choose either th data.img in one of the two folders ( copy the 1024's Data if you want 1GB of storage and copy the 512's data if you want 512 MB of storage) Have fun !
Edit ::
Copy the data.img into the Android folder

hey again... just found some new questions:
i just found a guide on how to install android, and it seems that i have to flash my rom and change my radio.. i have heard about flashing roms before, but never really knew how it would affect my phone..
q1: will flashing rom (and radio) delete the os?
q2: can i always go back to my old rom/radio??

yes you can, just write them down beforehand

np, I mean when you're booting your phone you can see some numbers on the bottom left, just write these numbers down, when you want to return to your original Radio/Rom just download the corresponding numbers from the Radio/ROM thread you can find at the ROM development section (But trust me, you would never want to return to your originals. as soon as you flash your new ones you'll find out that your previous were useless )

ok, i think i have one last question..
Will installing another rom/radio/android remove my warranty???

Since you'll be needing HSPL for radio/rom flashing then yes. I'm not sure wether there is a way around it, but you may give SSPL a look, it doesn't void your warranty .

oh well.. it says i can just install the stock spl and it should be fine...

Have you got your USB connect ? With my last release I have the same problem (Same with this one ! )
For this release my 1st comments (on 1rst boot), I have wait long time on this:
- the line : [ 65.181213] release 'boot-time' halt_lock
- HTC screen
- And boot animation
2nd boot :
Just boot screen animation is very long ...
After many times when the sreen is off, it's reboot ... (So on Windows normally !)
But I think your boot animation it's very very nice
I must test more time, but I think it's not very speed but very good look and animations
It's a good works my friend !!

What I did is, I copied the folder Android to the root of my Sd-card, disconnected my phone from Pc and than ran haret.

Very strange, have you got a SD card format on FAT32 with 2Go free space ?
SD or android folder isn't in read only ?

Looks like I lacked some free memory on storage-card, thx for that it booted this time
works pretty well though

I have the error:
mount:mounting /dev/block/mcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed:Invalid argument
Failed
Failed to munt the SD card. Cannot continue
/bin/sh:cant´t acces ty: job control turned off
Why??????

Verify the right on the SD card don't have only "read only" access

how can i see that?

i tested Angry Birds, runs very smooth

With SD Android, there is no way to boot straight into Android. For that you need NAND. You can, however get pretty close by using an automatic build loader (search in the forums for exceller bootloader/build loader or something like that) which will automate the process of running CLRCAD/HaReT and allow you to choose whether to boot Android or WinMo. You can set it to load Android after 3 seconds having booted into WinMo.
However, I would recommend using NAND Android if you are willing to do some research and have some free time.

thanks a lot and sorry for the late thanks
I am a newbie to HTC world but not to android as I have good experince in SGS I and II
I will install a nand version on the HD2 very soon and update you since we don't want to use windows anymore

ive got a android sd build on my phone and it boots straight into my android rom . i havent used winmo to boot into android for a long time now and i dont have nand,
when i turn my phone on it goes into mag and u get the go go go , and then boots into android , dont even see the winmo rom .
