Firstly, make sure you have a GSM compatible version of Android. Get this from the Topaz Thread linked on first post
I suggest you do the following:
1)Download the most current build of Android OS
2)Plug your phone into USB or insert storage card into card reader
3)unzip the Downloaded Android OS to a new folder on your desktop
4)open file explorer and navigate to your device's storage card
5)If you have previous android files on your storage card, delete them
6)copy all files from the new folder on your desktop onto your storage card.
7)Unplug phone from USB
Open file explorer on phone and navigate to storage card
9)Run 'Haret'

This should work for you.

This is very exciting. THANKS to all that are working on getting Android working on the CDMA TP2. I can't wait. Windows Mobile has been a terrible experiance for me-- have even thought of going back to my Centro It seems WinMo needs a fresh install on my phone every 1-2 weeks. I would love to be able to keep my phone and run Andriod instead. Thanks again to all that are working on this.

Man I wish there was a fully built version for the TP2. That would be sick.

how long does this process take? seems like its been about 10 min or so and its running about 5 or 6 lines at a time.

it can take a long time for the first boot, it depends on how fast your sd card is. after the first go it should boot in less than 5 minutes.

its not worth it!!!! most of the features that come with the android dont work...(internet,phone, and some other stuff)

you took the words right out of my mouth. good thing is if i take the battery off and put it back , it goes back to Wm. I dont know whats up with that but i would like to try the ROM for a few days . If the bugs can be worked out i think it will be a awesome ROM.

it is a work in progress. it is going to take a while to port out android for the tp2. just relax. once it is up and going it will be great. i still like to play with the apps that do work. and if i could help port the software i would. i just do have the experise for reading lines and lines of code. remember the guys doing these things also have a life. so just give them time and thank them for what they have done.
