This is BARELY BLURRED by toxigenicpoem, which was J_r0dd's Beta 8 and a port of JaiThemes - DarkCherry with a little twist of things I did and added in some new photoshop images. I also added the Duck Hunt booanimation.img posted by alb3rt0 and the a2sd boot.img from J-r0dd's beta 8 Rom. Hope you like..
*************YOU SHOULD NAN BACK-UP and WIPE, WIPE EVERYTHING BEFORE FLASHING.***************
***********UPDATE: 9-15-10 - DarkCherryTheme-alpha-2**************
*******Link: Sorry I can not post links for some resaon:
GO TO (.SIMPLY-ANDROID.com) to get all the links.
This is a complete Theme, so it will take a little longer to boot the first time. It will boot up. Enjoy the BEST BOOT ANIMATION " I THINK" Done so far!! Posted by "alb3rt0" . Check his awesome boot animations on this forum
Follow the install below.....
WIPE-Everything..
PLEASE FOLLOW STEPS FOR BEST RESULTS..
To install:
1) Do a Nan back-up
2) Download & Place the .zip file on your sd card and boot into recovery.
3) Flash the .zip file and when finished, reboot.
4) After you log into Blur and Google, let everything sync until the Red Half Circle Arrow in the notification window is gone. While thats is syncing, I would go into settings and change the Orientation to OFF and the Animation to OFF.
5) In Gscripts, run the Enable Apps2SD and when that is finished, reboot.
6) After reboot go back into Gscripts and run the Move Dalvik-cache to SD and then the phone will reboot.
7) Done have fun and hope you like what i have done so far.
8) To turn on the sound effect for pressing the screen, go into settings, sounds & displays, scroll down to Audible selection and check the box, then exit back to home screen. You should now a Click sound when pressing the screen.
****If you like the Font in the Picture, you can download it here and flash it in recovery over the Rom.***

THIS IS A THREAD FROM A NOOB FOR NOOBS!(I'm soooo sorry!)
I know I will be hated for asking this and reading all the threads, it appears most people here are light years ahead of me.
Anyway, I have been watching this site eagerly for Android for my HD2 over the last 6 months and it appears to me that this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795914
appears to be by far the best option available right now.
So I have downloaded :
data512.7z
data.7z
MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD.7z
I believe this has to go onto my SD Card, but everyones talk is too fast for me (I'm so sorry!)
Do I need to change anything else before I do this?
For example, is the ROM required to be changed, if so, how?
If not, do I just create a file callled "Android" on the root of my SD card and extract all the files from the three downloaded files into this "Android" folder?
I'm really sorry, Winmo6.5 is destroying me and my patience for an Android HD2 is far richer than my wallet, your help is appreciated a million times over.
hey ill help u if u need it. i kno how u feel to be lost in this jungle. i bought the hd2 in the beginning thinkin it was android, so when i found the forum for android port and was excited. tell me what u need
mods please move this thread to the general section!
step 1: read this: link
step 2: download and run this first . its called HSPL3.
step 3: second download and run Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 from here
step 4: download and run this. its call VBNROM. it will replace your winmo rom.
step 5: download and run 7zip from here
step 6: extract MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD.7z and data.7z to your desktop
step 7: move the data.img file from the data folder to the android folder in the MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD folder.
step 8: press the start key on your phone and press wm5storage, then activate.
step 9: copy the android folder to your sdcard. it will take a looooong time.
step 10: press deactivate.
step 11: press the start button on your phone. then press EBL 2.0.
step 12: on the right side under the android logo, press autoboot and press the word \android
step 13: donate to m-deejay
step 14: donate to - Cotulla and the gang. someone please add their links, i can not find them.
the only reason i replied to this thread, it being a question that has been asked way to many times, was to shoot these guys some hard earned cash. be respectful.
also i recommend downloading the 1gd data for faster boot
first, a really big thank you!
(and I think there may be others that thank you for this "idiots guide")
Am I right in saying that the FROYO build 4.1 that I am attempting to go forward with is the most complete so far?
(I've been at work and will have to try this in the morning!)
What is the "1gb data for faster boot"?
I have downloaded :
data512.7z
data.7z
I guess I use one or the other (is that right?)
Is there another?
My HD2 has 512MB flash size!
Again, thank you for your help.
**edit**
does replacing my Winmo ROM render Winmo useless?

You can use either, the data512.7z will give you 512MB of ROM in which programs and system stuff are placed, the other will give you 1GB of data space.
You can choose either, regardless of which HD2 you have.
I would say don't bother with the data.zip files, I always let android creat it's own one. It takes more time but (it is my opinion) I think it is safer.
Also, on exceller, select autoboot on 3 seconds.
I am running the build you want and it is really good.
Oh yeah, to be on the safe side, format your sd card and don't worry, firt boot can take 15 minutes
I thought this would be helpful, but really it's overkill and as a result, again confusing.
SORRY
Your step 1 says to "read this" which is whole bunch of other steps. Do you want me to do those steps or read those steps? Which are also confusing.
like
Your step 2 says:: download and run this first . its called HSPL3.
and links to a page where someone is talking complete tech talk and doesn't tell me how to run it.
Unzip it ? Put it in another folder? What?
drag and drop from your pc to your device?
run it?
Same with all the ROMS and Android builds, nothing is clear.
Run this, install that.
Sure, HOW!
I unzip some of this stuff to put into a folder and there are duplicate files in them, so they are impossible to COMPLETELY unzip.
I'm sorry, I've been looking forward to these few hours I have in my day to do this and now I'm here, I'm still none them wiser.
GUTTED !

Or you can do what I did in the start:
1. Copy everything from SD card to a safe location on your computer
2. format SD-card
3. Unzip you Android choise on your computer.
4. Move/copy the Android folder to your SD-Card
5. Find your file-explorer on your HD2 and start the files that are mentioned on the site (CLRCAD and HARET)
6. now it should boot up.
7. (maybe needed) I found that when i was using a old Original ROM-update for my HD2 none of the Android builds would start up.
If this is you... check HTC.com for the newest ROM-update and update your phone. think the ROM version should be 3.14 or something.
8. And If you love Android as the rest of us... you can install the auto-loader as mentioned earlier.
I think I'm just between you and the other guys. so I hope this is helpful.
Oh, btw. that build you have downloaded is good. I have not yet had this good luck with the same build just 4.4 version. Waiting for a new release.
Best Regards
When you finally get it figured out you are going to be kicking yourself when you realize how easy it is to put android on your hd2 please post something saying WOW this is as easy as putting a new song or picture on my phone lol good luck I am confident you will have it down patt and be trying every build in the near future
Hi all,
i've just done all these steps and it was pretty easy and understandable
i think i will post a clearer guild for you guys
step 1: read this: link ( don't read this cause it just cause confusion)
step 2: download and run this first . its called HSPL3. ( connect your device with the computer, select auto sync on the device, run HSPL3_PKG, select 2.08 hSLR, cause 2.08.0000 doesnt work for me T.T)
step 3: second download and run Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 from here ( after restarting your device, unplug and re plug the usb cable, select autosync on your phone. hit CustomRUU in the radio leo folder. wait a moment and it should do the job)
step 4: download and run this. its call VBNROM. it will replace your winmo rom. ( do the same thing like step 3, but with CustomRUU in VBNROM folder)
step 5: download and run 7zip from here
step 6: extract MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD.7z and data.7z to your desktop
step 7: move the data.img file from the data folder to the android folder in the MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD folder.
step 8: press the start key on your phone and press wm5storage, then activate.( this step is on your phone, hit the start/ wm5storge, look at the bottom left corner you will see Activate button)
step 9: copy the android folder to your sdcard. it will take a looooong time.( open my computer, you should see your sdcard there, i would format it, and then copy the android folder to the sdcard)
step 10: press deactivate.
step 11: press the start button on your phone. then press EBL 2.0.
step 12: on the right side under the android logo, press autoboot and press the word \android
step 13: donate to m-deejay

Agreed. v4.4 seems to have worse battery drain than v4.3.
I tried v4.4 with MDJ 8.0 kernel, battery life is better but LED doesn't work

use this file
just copy to your android folder in the sd card and reboot
hello every one ,
Im new here , and Ive read the how to threads but nothing help me ,
I have a htc tattoo fastweb italia unlocked and I cant root my tatto to get the recovery mode using rtattoo , it say somthing like no space availble , when restating to recovery using power+voldown I cant get the recovery options
which "how-to" do you used?
did you go step by step.
when i rooted and flashed my tattoo i used this tutorial
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/16/how-to-root-the-htc-tattoo/
explain precise what you did.i need more info
ah and one thing!!
you dont use power and voldown.you must hit the power and the house-button
yes I used that how to from theunlockr step by step (except the gold card, cause its not needed) and the DOS window show error writing image to device NO SPACE LEFT !!! thats my problem and I have a lot of space on the sdcard and tel memory !!

Click to collapse
you have to make gold card
keep in mind u have all permission for SD card(read write) root explorer app will give you all permissions
in rtattoo a folder sdcard all files of it put on your sdcard root & dont use su file from there get it from this postor click here
other query read above post
maybe its not needed(goldcard) but i would recommend doing one if your phone could brick.than its your last chance.but if youd dont want than its your desicion.
what i would recommend is to clean your cache.it could be that its full.
or use the comment from above.hes right
The animation is the THX life preview / animation / whatever you want to call it
First off and foremost I would like to thank Aleksandar Despotovski and frostgp93 for helping me so much with the boot animations. Their videos are of course on Youtube
I would love to praise ath3nos, BobZhome, drewwalton19216801, JerryScript, KemikalElite, Mrg666, and Pbailey212. Also the xda-community. I don't know you yet but I hope to start a new friendship
the 2nd zip file is for the audio. I didn't create it! It's by Backside/CyanogenMod7 creators - their link is androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/378525-rom-wip-backside-rom-cm7-green-machine-theme for the original sound saying 'this phone will self-destruct in five seconds.'
I just switched the audio file with the one from the animation.
IMPORTANT -maybe...
What I did is place the boot animation inside rom/system/media - delete the old one of course - IF this works for you by flashing -
well {WOOP-WOOP 'cop siren'}
after wiping cache and dalvik cache - flash rom with new boot animation than flash bootsound than reboot and enjoy
If you'd like it say your theater / not say anything at all the end just let me know I'll make a new audio. PM me though, no Demanding please.
Preview please...
Page not found win i got to the link
I recently got this tablet from my uncle who was gonna throw it out and i said i could try to tweak it .After few days i did the best and made it awesome and cooler than before here i will give the instruction how to make it faster ...
Step 1:
http://www.archos.com/va/support/support_tech/updates_dev.html
from the link you have to download the firmware for your archos device.
you could install it simply by copying it to your device and running it.
step 2:
install a custom rom i choose urukdroid but there are lots of other like cm7 etc
https://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/
above is the link for urukdroid in the website you could follow the steps to install it
step 3:
from here i will explain only for urukdroid as i have not tried other roms
so for archos 101 it gen8 only
if you don't want to install it in SD card then just set it up internally in advanced option it can also be found in the same website
https://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Installation
step 4:
after installing the rom you must download arctools(i have attached it) connect it to wifi and install the google market after this
cos without the market what they have given sucks...!!
step 5;
download apps like clean master to remove usless preinstalled apps
download Greenify to bloack unused apps this makes the device fast and saves battery (awesome app)
overclock the device from 1 to 1.1 ghz - https://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/UrukService_cpugovernor
swap ram memory - https://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/UrukService_compcache
use launchers which you like it makes the device faster but with over customization it makes the device slower
If you into gaming Chainfire3D could be used to play the games little faster -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
if you follow all the 5 steps your device is completely customized and faster than before
please follow the instruction carefully or else you might brick your device and i am not responsible for it.
For any queries PM me.
And if you find any better ways reply to this post about it.
Wow
Just about to bin mine if it didnt work my mede8ter app ( which thought would be only reason for keeping) but didnt so its in bin next to my desk then just by chance seen this...well done for sifting through sites trying to find info and links I gave up long time ago...thank you for this will tell you how I get on...:good:
Mmmmm cannot run market...force close..
THANK YOU!
Bought the tablet used for $25, but it was bricked. got it running on a normal stock ROM but i couldnt get the play store on it. Found this just a few minutes ago and tried it. Got it all working now, (with URUK) glad i found it made me happy. Now i can give the tablet to my mom for her mother's day present!
You are welcome I'm glad my tut has helped you.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Sorry for the really late reply , sometime the market app may force close continuously
you can try reinstalling it and if it doesn't clear the problem then do a complete reset and follow the procedure from first.
