can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

I know I have seen how to do the on the HD2 but I have the TP2 and want to know if I always have to turn my phone on in windows first then run haret to get to android? could someone provide me with a link on how to make it auto load Android, I found the dual boot option here but is that my only option;
[APP][25MAR10]Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0[W|Q|VGA][CAB|EXT] - xda-developers
is a little much to take in but I'll figure it out.

also well I have your attention is there a way to make the auto locate work for the GPS, Maps, and weather?


here is the page I used to get android in the first place;

you guys are the best and love all the help and work you have done so for! keep up the amazing work!

one last question for now, I have Froyo on my phone right now but have heard there is also a way to change it to Gingerbread but that it isn't as stable, is that true?

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

Oy...

You found the best option for a dual-boot setup. Unless you just put haret.exe to autostart in WinMo - but that's awkward and not nearly as nice as Gen.Y.

No clue what you're talking about - both netloc and GPS work. GPS doesn't lock very fast at all, but it does work. Note - using QuickGPS in WinMo will help reduce lock times in Android.

I'm impressed you found the FroYo bundle... the GB bundle is literally directly underneath it.

Yes, it's not as stable. We're working on a new release of it, but the process is slow-going. No ETA's, don't ask.

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

so I installed the .cad for the Gen.Y and it will work just fine to start but now when I try to turn the phone off it just keeps resetting instead. has anyone else had that problem with Gen.Y? I'm thinking maybe I put the wrong .cad on my phone because there are 5 options and I didn't know which one to use. I have the RHOD400 with sprint, would I use WVGA, VGA, WQVGA, or QVGA?

when I try to run Nav or anything like that it shows the loading "Waiting for location" and never loads. I'll try the QuickGPS and see if that fixes it and if I still have a problem then I'll see what else can be done.

as for the OS I'll just stick with FroYo because I don't really need Gingerbread but thought it might be another fun option.

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

WVGA is the RHOD.

Make sure you have a GPS location in Maps before opening Nav.

Gingerbread is coming along nicely, but not as good as FroYo. In time I hope it will be better than FroYo...

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

QuickGPS fixed my GPS problem, thanks!

But I am still having problems turning my phone off when I am running Android, it was the WVGA .cab I had installed so I removed it and reinstalled it and the phone still wont turn off unless I do it from windows (Android it just resets it). any ideas what to do to fix that?

I'm sure if I still have my TP2 when it is Gingerbread runs smother then FroYo I'll switch over but FroYo is exciting enough by itself. thanks for everything, I would have never even tried to do this if it wasn't for you and everyone who helped make it possible.

Oh... Power off from Android is inconsistent at best. Pulling the battery always works... On NAND this issue will be fixed. Running from SD card has its drawbacks. One of them is no way to properly unmount on partitions reboot/shutdown.

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

if I did Android in NAND I wouldn't have to use the SD card anymore, right? is it easy to switch Android over so I can run it on internal memory?

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

It's only in testing now. Not recommended for daily use! I've been using it for a few days, I'm working with the dev to get the issues ironed out for a wider release. Works quite well so far, but it still has a way to go before it is as stable as HaRET is. In some ways it's beyond HaRET - the prox sensor works, and I don't seem to have any wake issues. Not to mention running off of internal memory as opposed to on the SD card - USB mass storage works, you can pull the SD and Android will still work, etc.

Now there's no magical boost of energy going to NAND. Anyone who says NAND is faster than the SD card doesn't know what they're talking about unfortunately. They're basically the same technology...

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

awesome to know, I'll be watching for it but I'll deal with this for now.

one thing I haven't been able to find is there a easy way to get all my contacts from WM to Android?

also will you're full bundle I linked above work on a HTC Tilt 2 just like it did on my TP2? or will I need different files? my friend saw what I did to mine and wants it on her AT&T phone too

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

Same files for any device, just use the correct startup.txt.

Contact sync is easily done thru Google/GMail - see the FAQ.

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

so my phone died today at work. I didn't think it should already be dead so I turned it back on and yep it was done. when I got home I put it on the charger and turned it back on and now none of my apps are working and on start-up it force closed them all. anyone have this problem before? is it easy to fix?


also I tried to sync my phone to 2 different google accounts and it said "The server you are attempting to synchronize with is either not an Exchange Server or is running incompatible software. Please correct your server address in Exchange Setup or contact your Exchange Administrator."

I get a support code: 0x85030022
I am typing m.google.com for the server address.
what am I doing wrong? here are the directions I was using.

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

I hope you took a backup of your apps & data, cuz it sounds like your data.img got corrupted from the sudden power down. You can try the CyanogenMod fixpermissions script, but it doesn't always fix every app. This is why Titanium Backup is awesome... Make sure the phone is sleeping - GPS is the #1 killer, other than stupid apps not letting the device sleep.

As for your error, is that in WinMo? You can't sync WinMo with more than 1 exchange account... Android you can have multiples, but not WinMo. This is also not the WinMo section of the forum...

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

I backed everything up before I did a hard reset and installed android. I only downloaded a couple android apps that were all free. I still have all the .cad, my pim, and the android os files on my pc. next time I am going to download the advance task killer so I can close the programs because I think that's why my battery went so fast.

I'll check in the right section for why I can't get my phone to link to any of my emails addresses.

Re: can I auto-run Android or do I have to dual boot?
 

now that I think about it maybe I will wipe it and try out gingerbread this time!
