Re: Android on HD2 updates + ROMs + Builds

If you plan on using Android for daily use use this method / rom. This is a tutorial on how to install a good rom and radio properly and a dual boot screen for Android / Windows mobile.

pre-requisite: FORMAT YOUR SD CARD TO FAT 32!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your device MUST be unlocked with HSPL

and you have to know how to flash roms and radios and recover your device if you break it

bearing that in mind, let us continue...


(this method has had my phone running android non stop with energys froyostone with no issues save its not the greatest on battery but still lasts a day. it's all about the rom and the version of froyostone you have.)

_______

1) Run a Task 29 on your phone.

2) Flash Kumar's HD2 Rom to your phone. Pick any one you like, I use GTX.

3) Hard reset your device.

4) Flash Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2

5) Download Energy's Android Froyostone

6) Extract just the folder called "Android" to the root of your FORMATTED SD card.

7) Using total commander on your device navigate to the Android folder and right click on CLRCAD.exe and click "OPEN". Nothing will happen, but as long as you tapped open that is fine.

Now open haret.exe...this will start Android

9) Don't use android just yet. Restart your device (hold down power button, turn off, turn back on)

10) This will ensure that your device boots smoothly and android will not have little bugs. Go into the settings in windows mobile and disable sense from the home screen.

11) Download JMZ's HD2 Android Dual Boot Cab and install it to your phone.

12) Reboot your device

13) You're done! if you boot into windows you can turn sense back on manually. If you leave it enabled the only drawback is that it takes about 20 seconds longer to boot and everyone says it also causes other bugs, so i highly recommend leaving it like this.

_____________


This is EXACTLY what I did and I've been using that build of Froyostone non stop since it came out. Good battery, no bugs.
