Ndno has posted a great all-in-one zip version of Android for CDMA Sprint Touch Pro 2 - Rhod500.

Just download and unnzip the contents of the andboot folder to the root of your SD card. This means you'll be extracting and dropping multiple files and folders from the zipped-up andboot folder onto the root of your SD card. Then use a File Explorer, navigate to the SD card root, and run haret. No flash neccessary.

Expect first boot to take five minutes. Subsequent boots take 1min or so.
Wifi is good, tethering is good, calls good, 3g data is good, speakerphone, usb charging,market, etc... all good.
GPS takes about 5mins to get first lock, but works and locks on faster with each use.
No bluetooth, No camera, No headphone jack.
Battery life is *meh*, but its being worked on.


Protips:
- Leave the phone plugged up to a charger when booting Android. This is called the "battery trick." It supposedly increases battery life. You can detach after sliding to unlock.
- The phone always boots into landscape. Open and close your slider.
- Sometimes, its a good idea to let Android "settle" a bit before using (3mins).
- If you have no service, reboot to winmo, make a call, then launch haret.
- If something else is supposed to work but isn't REBOOT!
- Open "Spare Parts" and change the "End button behavior" to "Home, then sleep," or else you'll be using the back button alot!
- Sometimes Android will become super sluggish, there are some tricks to pull it out of its funk. First, try making a call in Android (always works for me) others say opening Google Maps in Android will work.

Suggested installs from Marketplace:
Quadrant - Graphics test, post your setup and results in the 3D testing thread.
Neocore - Same as above
Opera Mini - My preference for a browser.
Syncmypix - Pulls profile photos from facebook to your contacts
LauncherPro - Enhanced homescreen, adds messages and contacts to homescreen
FancyWidget - Put clock and weather data on the homescreen.

Remember this is testing! Don't expect everything to be perfect. Be prepared to troubleshoot on your own, and read the forums for advice.

-Enjoy
