quick question, I'm guessing this is a fully-functioning android build that you have to replace the ROM on the TP2 to make work or does it work from within WindowsMobile? Sort of like AndroidKidd?

Apologies, I started reading the 33 pages and got lost along the way with the very technical discussions such as calculating hex numbers.

basically there is a program called haret that you run from within windows mobile, it executes and runs android over top of windows something like a linux live cd does over top of your home computer. it doesn't install itself to your memory or mess up your current system setup. to go back to windows you simply restart the phone. it does save files and settings to your microSD but that's about it.

Thank you, very much. I'm not stupid but that explanation was concise, clear, and helpful.

Awesome response and thank you tr0s

K i'm missing something. What exactly do i need to do with this? I tried root of device, run haret. Root of storage card, run haret. Neither of them worked, i guess I thought this was easier than it is haha.

put the entire folder in the root of the SDCard and then click haret, and it SHOULD work. in theory.

for those who cant get it to load, try a different micro sd card, I was having issues with my sandisk 1gb (yes it was fat32 and i gave it time, 30 mins), just tried the new transcend 8gb class 6 that I ordered, and I finally got it to boot, not sure why some cards work, and some dont. But try a different sd card if you have one laying around

Doesn't work for me, on either of the storage cards I tried. And now one of them freezes the phone whenever I insert it and i don't have a reader so I can't format it til i find one. Hard reset party!

its been as easy as extract and run for me, soo addicted to robot defence...

I've got a transcend 8GB Class 6 on the way, so we'll see when that gets here.
