I'm really impressed with this! I'm on Telus, so my device is pretty much strictly CDMA. (I don't plan on using it with a SIM card unless I leave Canada, in which case I'd probably pick up a SIM for a US GSM carrier).

Installation was a breeze... I don't know how so many people are having problems. I have a ton of other junk on my SD card and HaRET booted Android up just fine. I put all the files at the root of the card, which is formatted FAT32. (Ie: unzipped the archive right at \Storage Card so that startup.txt, HaRET.exe, etc. are at root and the rest of the folders are one level up, \Storage Card\media for example.)

Right off the bat, the phone will dial out. The phone says "(No Service) Telus" on the locked screen but when I dialed my home number, my home phone rang. I didn't have to call into my voicemail and leave it connected before running HaRET. There is no mic or speaker output, but that is small potatoes in my opinion. If the phone can dial out and make another phone ring already, making the sound work without initializing a phone connection before running HaRET is just another small hurdle.

When I tried the call in to voicemail work-around, the mic and internal speaker both work flawlessly.

At this point, CDMA data doesn't seem to be working, nor WiFi. I'm confident that this will come along quickly. The Machinist's screen calibration is right on the money! (Thanks, BTW).

Really looking forward to seeing this happen, as I'm getting really sick and tired of WM's antics, as much as I love it's flexibility in comparison to BB or the iPhone.

after switching from my class 6 4gb sandisk card to my class 2 8gb sandisk card, i finally got it boot past the X screen and everything works like it should.

now if only i could figure out a way make the screen go back to portrait mode after it switches to landscape using the accelerometer


EDIT--
I think my 4gb card might actually be partially destroyed as it only gets about a 1mbps write speed while my 8gb gets 5-10mbps write speed

i guess its a good thing i have spare cards

did you try pulling/replacing stylus??

worked for me a few builds back (but that was with no accelerometer)

For everyone having "lock up" troubles, you need to remember that all of this is still in the early development stages. To hold you over I repackaged what I know was the last good configuration, with my contribution - a calibrated touch screen:

Now since you can't do much with it, just play robo defense until the big guys get it all sorted out.

All I get is the Penguin and TONS of scrolling code that goes on forever. What am I missing?

You are missing only 10 things. You need to wait for longer depends on your SD card and this is still in developmeent, it may or may not work for you.

If you are stuck at the loading screen(text) and post some of the error lines, somebody here may be able to help.

I messed up the first time and only put the folder onto the root of my card. I then realized that I needed to put the 3 folders and 8 or so files onto the root of my card. I was able to get to the X screen after that and just kept tapping all over the screen to get passed that.
