1) Delete existing android files (ensure data.img is deleted)

The delete data.img is if you were running PREVIOUS Android builds and had it on your SD card already.
Best instructions are to:
1) Download the package provided in the first post
2) Unzip/unrar/expand the file
3) Create a folder on your SD card called "Android" (this should be at the top level of the SD card, not within other folders)
4) Copy all of the files and folders that you expanded from the download to the "Android" folder on your SD card.
5) Call your voicemail or dial your house number or something (so that the phone is active while you boot Android). Leave this call going while you complete the next step
6) Switch to the file explorer and click on "haret.exe" within the "Android" folder on your SD card
7) The screen will go through a whole bunch of text lines (you may notice a couple lines that say "CDMA phone found" and "Creating a new Data store"). All good things to see.
8 ) Wait some more and you'll see an "X" animation on the screen. You are almost there!
9) Android finally loads, and presents an initial startup sequence. Since wifi is working, you can setup the google account on your first bootup, or if you don't have wifi around, simply "skip" the account creation and continue to the home screen of Android.
10) Note, when prompted for home or home++, this is simply a choice between the default home screen and an advanced home++ home screen. Start with home (because you can get live wallpapers to work!)
11) To activate the CDMA phone network, you will most likely need to go to "Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network operators" and then once it completes the search, select "Select automatically". Click back several times to get out of the settings, and test making a call. All should work.
12) The rest I leave up to you! Explore and have fun! Please be advised not everything is working (in fact, many important things do not work). Check the first post in this thread to see what should be working.
Hope this helps out those out there wanting to try this out.
*Final note*: Just for those who are wondering, this does NOT impact anything on your Windows Mobile install. It simply dumps WM from memory, loads linux, and runs off your SD card. Reseting from Android simply returns you back to your WM environment safe and sound. So feel free to try this out knowing you won't harm your phone or WM data in any way!
