Just download "Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)

" and install the .cab for your display resolution.

In addition to Gen.Y DualBOOT you may find BatchLaunch useful if you need to execute CLRCAD.exe before starting haret.exe.

You can find it here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] don_sefer:
Maybe you can integrate this function into you Dual Boot if you have time for this. Would be great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shakenfr:
Why only dualboot program and not MULTIBOOT

-WM

-Android distrib 1

-android distrib 2

- Ubuntu

etc...

Man, how great app! Thank you! I was tested this in HTC touch pro, and works great!

Thank you, again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] waterproof125:
this may sound nooby but i did try searching but I wasn't sure what exactly to search for.

If the autoboot is not enabled and I were to leave the phone at the gen y. os selection page indefinitely would windows load in the background or does nothing load until the selection is made?

EDIT: I've somewhat tested this, windows does load, I can receive calls and if I let it sit then select windows TF3D and everything has already loaded. My concern is that apparently it is better to boot android before windows boots too much as to allow overclocking/underclocking and other stuff, and was wondering what the best way to go about this is, any input would help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deroux71:
Hi guys,

I read through almost the whole thread and honestly I like the Gen Y Dualboot a lot! I used Jmz dualbootas well, but it seemed very slow and slaggish and not a nice interface.

Anyway... I played around with Gen Y and so far this is what I have:

I can boot both systems on a HD2 with Miri 17 ROM and I think is Froyo 1.7. What I did is to format the card, rename "andboot" the folder with the Android ROM and copy from it the rootfs, system and data files unto the root of the storage card and... voila! I also have the clrad on the root of the storage card, I don't know if that helps.

The thing is, I have Android running on my HD2 with sound and all the functions working and Gen Y Dualboot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Can someone please tell me what I should have in the registry key containing the Android Folder path? I tried putting "\Storage Card\Android\haret.exe" or \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe (that is the exact path to haret.exe). I am using Artemis 2.70 on an HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
I think you have to enter the folder name only into the registry key.

For you this would be "Android".

If you don't want to deal with the registry you can use a little batch starting program of mine called "BatchLaunch".

Link can be found in signature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
I used this program, but it doesn't launch anything. And it seems to block my HD2. I won't do anything. I think it has to have the path to haret.exe.

Edit: I only had to write in the registry in the AndroidBootFolder key the name of the folder containing the Android image (mine is Android). Only that. The BatchLaunch application still doesn't work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meltwater:
I've set:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT\AndroidBootFolder to contain the value "Andboot" as suggested.

However, I'm having a problem with my AndroidBootFolder reg key being removed...

If I set it and run Gen.Y works fine, and Android boots, but the next time I run, the reg key has been cleared and it is unable to find Android.

If I set and reboot, Gen.Y works fine too, but the key is kept.

So it seems like Gen.Y is clearing my key...but only when it's run manually...odd

I did search for the answer, only option I found was perhaps to use an old version of Gen.Y but then it still will be problem if there is an update.

UPDATE:No matter, I'll just use it via the boot...can link to the herit exe instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paralight:
thanks to you !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
@meltwater: The key is reset because when you launch Android, Windows doesn't shut down properly and doesn't save it or the registry. You must modify the registry key and restart the device. This way the key will be remembered. I had no problems with the registry key once I set it ip correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meltwater:
Oh fair enough, probably also since I wasn't using my normal editor. The value has "stuck" now so must have done as you suggested without knowing, at least I can be sure it's not gonna go now, so thanks for the explanation. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wu ming:
i very blur with this installation...what u mean by key in 1 in registry?... and the folder?...mean copy and paste the whole thing in that AndroidBootFolder?

i try many way but it cant work...however...all the andriod os software....so far i try only from this 3 folder..darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1,desirebuild_v5, package

the best wan is Froyo...only videocam and GPD cant work...but problem is always got hang after sometime if u dun use it and u had to reinstall it...

desiredbuild everythings cant work except call...package wan is seem like can work all...but halfway always showing expire and lock u out. then had to reinstall again.

so what the different whether i install this dualboot os things for?...since everytime need to reinstall..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
@wu ming: You got it wrong. This tool can start at the very beginning and can allow you to boot Android immediately. You must modify the registry just like in Windows. I don't know what ypu are doing, but my Android is working just fine. There are multiple versions, that is true. Read the first post carefully, but if it is too complicated for you, then forget about it. You can modify the registry using Total Commander CE.

@everybody using the BatchLaunch app: the bat file accompanying the executable should not contain the wait command. The BatchLaunch app worked just fine with the following syntax in the bat file:

\Storage Card\Android\CLRCAD.exe

\Storage Card\Android\haret.exe

I had 2 files in the root of the SD card (the bat and the executable), both of them named haret so that Ge.Y Dualboot finds the haret.exe file to boot Android.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THEPOGCBR900RR:
Mine loads, and says missing droid.

I get error on sub_main_androidexistcheck.

Retieving register key continue....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Only the darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1 build (Android 2.1) booted from the Android folder. All the others require that the files must be in the root of the SD card. Rename the original haret.exe (the Android loader) to zharet.exe, modify the bat accordingly and try again.

\Storage Card\Android\CLRCAD.exe

\Storage Card\Android\zharet.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meltwater:
Any reason why some builds need to be in the root, I'm running Android 2.2 from Andboot folder fine using this app.

By the way, is CLRCAD needed for all devices or just ones which sounds issues? (what does it do?).

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timsah:
Thanks for this, works now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
@yozgatg I keep getting the following error –

An error occurred on sub__main_androidexistcheck.

Value does not fall within the expected range.
Continue?

I'm running XDAndroid Build ID: FRX00B 2.2 RC2 Reference, and I've got all files (including haret.exe, rootfs.img, and zimage) in Storage Card\andboot (although \Android, \cache, \media, and \DCIM are created in \Storage Card after android's first boot), and android boots just fine manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THEPOGCBR900RR:
In your comment it says all the files to the root of the SD, but your listing above says \Storage Card\Android\zharet.exe

That not the root of the SD, thats being put into the Android folder.

Also what im I missing with adjusting the .bat file?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Just like I said, I tested the DualBOOT with darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1 build (Android 2.1), with all the files put in a folder named Android on the SD card. Some builds I tested require that the files be found in the root of the SD card. Then the bat file would look like this:

\Storage Card\CLRCAD.exe

\Storage Card\zharet.exe

Edit: I have tested a new build. I know now why the other builds would give an error on loading. I unpacked each build into its own directory, with its own directory name (like desirebuild_v5). I also had an Android folder on the SD card from the build that booted before. There builds must be unpacked into a Android folder on the SD card or in the root. There must not be a Android folder on the SD card if the files are copied in the root of the card. I have now tested mattcfroyo1.5 (Android 2.2). It is just beautiful, although it can't record 720p video.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hebbe:
i really like this app.

any news on implementing starting clrcad.exe, too? i don't like using the bat-trick:o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jesperhvl:
Hi

Nice App!

However, I am using Danish stock ROM, and: Starting windows works, starting Android fails.

My guess is that the "Storage card" is called "Lagerkort" for my ROM, so the app can't find the files to be executed. But this is not configurable in the registry. Only the folder name on the storage card can be configured, e.g. "Android\....".

Anyone who knows of a work around for this? It will be most appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ka911:
thank you for the nice app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lencasamancer:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bonobow:
This is great-thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agentfazexx:
Downloaded this, but haven't installed it yet.

Is it true that this does not run clrcad.exe? Is there a newer/different bootloader that will? Not having sound kind of defeats the purpose.

Also, how do I install this, just run one of the cabs on my phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Yes, it does not run clrcad.exe, at that time there was not necessary :) There is another one that does it. You can find it here. Maybe the creator of this tool can make it so that it launches clrcad too.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Luka92:
Can you make it so it can run Android from "storagecard/android/haret.exe"???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aldaweb:
you have to edit the registry key "AndroidBootFolder" under

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]

to read "android"

would be good to add option to run CLRCAD.exe before haret.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
It does not launch Android before Windows does. It just presents an option to launch it as soon as it can be possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kameirus:
never mind fixed the problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zomgalama:
Confused? HELP!

:confused: I got android to work on my Touch Pro (RAPH800) but when I run this it cant find Android? :confused:

help anyone?:o:confused::confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zomgalama:
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):):):)

I spent hours editing my registry (using what he had up there but when i saw this I was like OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) so happy now :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Luka92:
It doesnt work for me... I have android folder on storagecard, so i changed the string in rededit to "android". When I get the screen to choose which os to run, when i click android it runs haret.exe, but after that the phone restarts and i get the screen again to choose OS??? fix pls?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zomgalama:
Please Help

:confused::confused::confused::(:mad:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it worked for the first couple times but now all i get is:

"An error occured on sub

_main_androidexistcheck.

An error occured retreiving

the registry key

Continue?"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zomgalama:
try instead of \ on either side rather than "

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mistro:
Yea I got a similar error, except something about _main_sub***something instead. It worked the first maybe 3 times, and now it dies with this. :confused:

Thanks again for making this app! I'm sure it'll be very usefull once I get it working :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kameirus:
i got those same errors ..so i uninstalled the dualboot then soft reset then reinstalled it

and have had no problems since then
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zomgalama:
well i finnaly got mine to work, did you try adding \andboot\ (with the slashes, the backwards ones)? Because thats how I got it to work.:cool: :D :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Luka92:
I really want this to work, but i have a problem... Because my android build is in a folder called "Android" in the root of my SD Card, I changed the "AndroidBootFolder" in registry to "Android", so now the app sees the android... When I click to boot android from app, it runs haret.exe, and the text keeps listing, but after that the phone restarts and goes back to the app. And over and over... What am I doing wrong???

Thank you! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Then there must be something wrong with your Android distro. Look for another distribution :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muaythai619:
i have no idead how to get this to work on my sprint tp2 i downloaded the cab file to my sd card and cant get it to work at all and i dont see any registry for it in the regedit program at all on the wvga option i get the screen but the android option is missing and it also says android is missing what am i doing wrong ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
First of all, put some punctuation signs in there. Second, you must have Android on the SD card in an Android folder. Then you go to the registry with a registry editor (Total Commander CE has something like this) and follow the instructions on the first page. Read them slowly and carefully, this registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT\AndroidBootFolder] must have the value Android or whatever name you gave to your Android folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jnuts5423:
Im havin the same issue. I know its however i got it set is wrong, but cant get the ride combination. If the value is set to look in the storage card, do i need to put "\Storage Card\andboot" or do i just put andboot, cause its already looking in storage card? Ive tried both, but the app still wont recognize the android os.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ben.e.brooks:
I have this exact problem, however it cant be a problem with the Distro as it launches fine if I go into windows and launch it through file explorer. Mine is also in an "Android" folder with the reg tweak and it seems to load but fails just after the text.

Weird :confused:

I've installed the VGA version on my Diamond, and it doesn't seem to have had any effect. The phone is unlocked, but I'm running the stock Alltel ROM for quick GPS locking. I have Android installed in the root of Internal Storage, and it runs fine with haret.exe

I checked the registry, and all the mentioned keys are there.

Any ideas?

WVGA (Blackstone)

on my WVGA (Blackstone) wm 6.5.x, it works ok, even if graphically top and bottom there is some space left where you can see underlying apps loading.

however I'm a bit concerned about reading somewhere that if you don't let winmo load completely (not sure what it means) you can have your mic and volume keys not working until a hard-reset... heard about that ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brodos123:
Hi

launch50 is shell32.exe and Launch52 is the Gen.Y launcher

However in the first post you say:

!Non-supported languages, VGA & WVGA only!: Please download the attached mui file, rename 0409 to your language ID, and copy to the installation folder (default: \Program Files\Gen.Y\DualBOOT). This is required in order for the app to work correctly. (not required for QVGA users)

Mine is installed in \Program Files\Gen.Y\.....

There is no DualBOOT folder.

hmm, one thing guys, could you check this? can u manually run the program? (open file explorer > goto Program Files\Gen.Y > launch genyboot.exe

if it doesn't work, it might have to do something with sdkcerts or .net cf not being installed (didn't sign the .exe, stupid me..)

if it does run, a workaround might be putting a shortcut in \Windows\Startup, however this is quite slower than the HKLM\init method
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bedoig:
Yes, I can run it manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yozgatg:
could you try this new attached WVGA cab then? This new cab directly installs it into the windows folder, which should work better for the HKLM\init procedure. Also, i signed the .exe this time with msigner. Let me know if it works.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yozgatg:
Alright, a slight update, v1.02

v1.02

- Signed .exe file with SDKCerts

- Fixed boot problems by moving genyboot to Launch62 in HKLM\init

> Now boots even on stock ROMs!

Figured out that stock ROMs (and some cooked roms), don't like genyboot running before services start. For those who don't have issues, i recommend using v1.01 since that version is slightly faster at boot.

As far as QVGA layout goes, i'll try looking into it, can someone post a screenshot or something so how the current layout is like?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
You only have to put the name of the folder that contains the Android distribution. I had the same problems and I also tried putting Andboot in the registry, but my Android folder on the SD card was named Android, not Andboot. So write only the actual name of the Android folder, without any other characters. If your Android folder on the SD card is named AndDistro, then that is what you put in the registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jnuts5423:
Im getting so frustrated with this. here are my two screen shots of the registry, and my card settup. It seems like ive tried forward slashes in front of storage card, no slash, putting storage card, not putting storage card, andboot, androidbootfolder. can you tell me what portion i got wrong by looking at my screen shot. I would think if your telling the storage boot mode to look in the card, then you wouldnt have to put storage card at the beginning. but ive tried it with, and without. slash, and no slash at the beginning. andboot, and androidbootfolder. I just cant get it right. I promise im not a moron. Any chance of getting a screenshot of someones working registry? that might spell it out for me.

Edit= I dont know what I was doing wrong, but post 545 has a special cab that looks for andboot, not android. installed, and it worked the first time around. finally! Now if i could just figure out if its me, or does the search by voice option not work. wrong thread, i know, but nobody, seems to have an answer in any thread Ive posted the question in.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BadBiscuit:
No worries. I made the same mistake and had to re-read the instructions and try again before getting it right. Assuming you installed version 1.0.6.0, the registry key, "AndroidBootFolder" should contain just a single word: "andboot" (without the double quotes). Atleast that worked for me and ran haret.exe out of the \Storage Card\andboot\ folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
I thought I made myself clear. You must write the name of the folder where you put Android. Nothing else. No program name (like haret.exe), just the name of the Android folder. No quotes, nothing else.
