Are we completely deleting the rom we have on right now and installing android? Can someone give me a quick overview? I am reading that wifi is not working and such so then why dont they switch back to winmo and do those thing then switch back to android....

Thanks is advanced and i hope this is not a dumb question.

Sorry, I had a nice long post written out for you, but Firefox decided to crap out when submitting it, so it's all gone. The short gist of it...

Read the first few posts/FAQ, it's a wealth of knowledge on this. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=114400

Short and quick answer: No, it's not a ROM, it's adding a second OS to run. When you boot Android, it closes down WM and boots Android entirely from your SD card. To get back to WM, just reboot and it'll automatically load back up. Wifi is...an ongoing issue that's being worked on.

Weird, on 7/1 I would get around 4.5 MFLOPS with nothing changed.. Haven't tried this one yet..

lol I can boot it but it just crashes after 1 min or so 767 seems stable for me, it was as high as we'd go on our Hero's

I am going back to the sense 2.1 version at least that version had the data working on it. I can get the data working on this version.

I had the same problem, got mine working now. From Wozzer999@PPCG:
Setting up a mock APN worked for me. To do so, go to Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Press the Android Key > Name = "aaa", Server = "internet.com". Hit back, and enable it. It seemed to fix right away, but may need a reboot.
Thanks jtown for the tip!

You are quite welcome. glad it has helped so many. I did not discover it though, so i cannot take credit for it.

But happy to help however I can!

I am trying to use the Android 2.1 Version with Sense but I can't remove widgets. When i tap and hold the 'remove' button comes up but when i release it goes away and opens up the phone function. is there a trick to doing this?

also, with the startup utility, what does the 'Hardware 3D' option refer too?
