Hello Guy! I just downloaded the Android from the first page to my HD2, I extracted the file to my desktop, and copied those files to the root of my sd card...and clicked on the Haret.exe...it asked me something to execute....and I selected it, now my HD2 has some small white writting, with a black screen...it continued scrolling those writting and at the end it said rebooting in 5 second, and it is stock there...I don't know what to do! anyone here want to help...I have flashed the Energy RoM on it, and has the new radio 2.10 or something, Did I screw my phone? or I am still safe...:(

Thanks,you said to run the CRLCAD before the Haret, but the phone wouldn't run that app...I got it loaded! WOW it's still loading but now when I try to dial a number! it just went blank!:( and it also said no service at the start!

It can't read my sim card or something! also I don't know but my wifi is not working either....and I tried to get out of the airplane mood, and I can't! but over all the software look nice! i am waiting for your next try!

AHH!! I tried it, but it says, could not completely uninstall cookies home tab, would you like to remove it from the program list? i hit yes, and it doesn't remove it from list. Am i screwed? any fixes for how to uninstall it?!?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkywalkerPD:
I'm getting frustrated ;-) I tried a couple of different builds now. This morning I tried the version above. With all the builds I have the same problem.

I run Haret I get the linux boot code and there it stops.

When I touch the screen just more text scrolls over the screen. And that's it.

Any tips on this? I love to try Android on this great phone!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NetRipper:
The mods are really doing the best they can do to keep this thread open and will only remove offtopic or flame posts.

It won't work. The initrd searches for a system file on the sdcard. With other words, the kernel would boot until it can't find the required files on the sdcard.

Do you have an HD2? It doesn't sound like it, as you should have 448 or 576MB of memory. These builds cannot be used for other devices than the HD2. If you do have an HD2, these values should be perfectly fine. However, if you're really paranoid, you can try changing to:

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x0e800000

To all who have problems starting WinMo after testing Android.

As mentioned in post 3 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5969936&postcount=3)

You will need to hard reset your HD2, and recover your backup.. You did make a backup right?

Hi NetRipper, thanks for answering, yes i do have an HD2, but my phone is a pre-release HD2 with only 320MB RAM.

I will try with those values right now.

Thanks again!

EDIT: I tried with those values, but still no luck :(, i'm still getting stuck at the message "jumping to kernel...".

Any ideas???

Manilla error fix instructions

Mods should add this to the front page in case anyone gets this error again to avoid hard resetting. It took me hours to fix, but the solution was so simple.

If Manilla doesn't load after rebooted into Windows Mobile from Android then follow these steps

1. Disable sense

2. Uninstall CHT Editor/cookies home tab

If you get an error while removing Cookies Home Tab then follow these extra steps, (if not, skip to step 5)

3. Ignore this Windows Mobile bug with "can't be removed"

4. Switch sense off (no, it's not switched off only because it doesn't start)

5. Install CHT Editor (yes, do soft reset also between)

6. Re-install Cookies Home Tab

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maicrosoft:
correct me if I'm wrong but, I remember reading somewhere that because of winmo's limitation our hd2's have a 65k colour dept and the screen can in fact handle 16m colours. Does this mean with Linux, we can achieve a 16m colour depth on our hd2? That would just be awesome! Then I could sell my crappy old slow and heavy Archos and use my hd2 as main movie device [: Watching movies at 16m colours is so more pleasurable than watching it with 65k colours!

Sorry everyone for the off topic but have you used coreplayer or TCPMP's dithering? It improves the colors so much that most of the time you won't notice it's only 65k
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HotShotAzn:
Everything I've read so far says 65k TFT screen...which I always thought was stupid.

"Hey, lets build a phone with a gigantic screen...but give it only 65k colors". Hopefully it really is only OS limited.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Oberoth:
i think it is only the OS...

say one phone on the market with none-windows mobile OS which have only 65k colors...

i dont think that 65k tft screens in such a size exist ^^

i hope so ^^

very nice hint...

color gradients arent visible in tcpmp when dither is enabled (compared it myself visually).

If I recall from earlier in the thread you have to have auto brightness disabled in Windows/Sense settings before launching Haret. I can't confirm this as it's the first thing I always turn off when I hard reset or flash a new rom.

Try to do this before uninstalling, go to Setting> Menu>All Setting> Today> Items tab then disable HTC SENSE, now try to uninstall Cookie home tab along with its editor, good luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mmbika:
My Feedback on Desire with SENSE built

(1) Stable, lovely and fine. Plays music perfectly, no device freezes, can easily exit the apps, go to home etc.

(2) All buttons work, although off course the HW devices will work in coming days, all are linked and Android does follow the links. Work is progress.

(3) Got one game working (forgot the name) another RP game didn't load citing hard ware acceleration (graphics on QC chip).

(4) Overall a great satisfaction in playing with new OS (I am normally an OS loyal person, so won't unnecessarily change) BUT I have really began to like Android and it has upped my opinion way positively.

Now, a few points for future,

(1) When and where you would like to run full Linux (Ubuntu) on HD2 vs. Android (a lighter built of Linux) and why? If you can run Linux, what are more benefits (assuming that both Linux and Android runs 100% on HD2) because this is important to me. I understand that Linux is something you use with keyboard and mouse sort of desktop combination and I already have Redfly Mobile Companion C8N which gives me keyboard, two powered USB 2.0 ports and VGA out; out of the box so I already have used extremal USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB flash drives with my current WM 6.5 (2.13 TMOUS ROM) HD2 and believe that if I can continue to use that same combination with Linux, I will have a full fledged desktop computer in my pocket in the form of Linux operated HD2! I haven't tried it yet, but if I run HaRet.exe while my HD2 is already connected to Redfly will it work? Because Redfly is not just an external monitor but it some very complex procedure of transferring display registers values (matrices) over USB to Redfly and which are in turn decoded by Redfly on it's 800x480 native screen or it can upscale it to 800x600, 1024x600 or 1024x768 by VGA port. How it does upscale a native 800x480 resolution to 1024x768, I don't understand. It is not pixelation but display indeed gets those resolutions, you see more area, more applications, more icons and etc. You got a bigger word, excel, power point etc.

(2) If I will be able to use HD2 as I wish in point (1) above, I would also wish to switch between Android and Linux on HD2 - thus making HD2 a true multi-OS Android + Linux device.

(3) When Android/ Linux will be ready to be flashed to HD2 ROM will there be a way back if someone wants WM 6.5 again on HD2 or when WP7S could be ported to HD2, definitely people will want to try that out, so once Android / Linux flashed to ROM, will it be the only OS to play with on HD2 in future?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] quietriot1983:
Mine does that when surfing the internet in WinMo!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I'm no expert and I could be wrong but it's unlikely this will be an option. As far as I'm aware the HTC Blackstone (or original HD as it's alternatively known) has had Android for some time and flashing it to the internal memory still can't be done. I hope I'm wrong and it eventually is an option - perhaps someone with more knowledge in the bootloader can confirm this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyCubed:
Don't think too much into it not being able to happen, believe me, it'll be the absolute last thing the devs work on as no one wants to flash their phone and go through all that effort to have crap that still doesn't work and have to update every day or so like people are doing with the current builds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] charliebarter:
I found that once I did this once and ran haret.exe I could turn back on winmo auto adjust backlight and the screen remained on when the Desire ROM was run.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HotShotAzn:
I agree with this. I like the fact that I can still dual boot. Sure, native Android would be pretty awesome but there are apps on WinMo I still use that Android doesn't have.

It's what has prevented me from going straight Android. Nobody will develop a WinMo port for a N1. At least this way, I can have my choice of 2+ OS to play with.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
great build

the new desire build is indeed the most stable build i tried out there, a tad slower than the basic no-sense build but definitely more stable.

G-sensor is working, though still highly prone to freezes, it's a huge step forward :D

but i noticed these android build have some kind of conflict with cookie's home tab; i almost became sure when i tried this build right after a hard reset before installing cht and it worked like a charm (with cht installed, ANY build wouldn't last more than 2-3 mins for me befoe freezing or BSOD)...anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blue Ice K4:

Thanks guys. Oh and forgot to mention, lots of other things are functional and cool to play with, so the devs progress in this length of time is awesome too.

My bad, forgot to run CLRAD.exe first. RETARD!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] charliebarter:
Just to talk through a little troubleshooting i did.

With the new desire ROM I had the backlight off issue.

I found as in this thread that with autoadjust backlight off in winmo the light came on.

I then found that once I had run android with the backlight staying on, I could turn winmo autoadjust back on.

When I reinstalled Desire ROM I found this no longer worked. the backlight was always off when I turn winmo autoadjust back on.

I tried again and this time changed the setting within Android itself to automatically choose backlight level when the backlight was still on (autoadjust off in winmo)

Now I can turn back on winmo autoadjust and keep the backlight in Android.

(I also changed the level of on battery brightness back to 20% when I reloaded Android to make the change which resulted in me not needed to have autoadjust off)

May not be useful because you may all have autoadjust off all the time.

I've tried to install some games (simply adding to the "Android Apps" folder on the SD) with the Desire rom, I'll divide it in working (with issues) and not working at all:

(Almost) working:

1) Polarbit ToonWarz (the TS lags and it's in general not fluid at all, but still almost playable)

2) Speed Forge 3D (works very well, but needs a keys re-mapping, for the acceleration is demanded to the trackball, and HD2 doesn't have trackball. The G-Sensor is too much sensitive, too)

3) Teeter (G-Sensor too much sensitive)

4) Abduction! (needs a frame limitator; G-sensor too much sensitive)

5) FishLife (starts but controls don't work)

Not working at all (they all crash before starting):

1) H.A.W.X.

2) Dungeon Hunter

3) Hero of Sparta

4) Let's Golf

Keep testing, I'll update you soon

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bimboy:
Cotulla has not yet committed the HW3D changes to git, as far as I know. Pretty sure he still has a few more tweaks he is working on (reading the irc logs). So, it's likely that the games that crash are attempting to use that.

I don't have that speed issue with Teeter or Abduction, but I think the issue can be remedied by first clicking CLRCAD.exe prior to running haret. When you click it, nothing appears to happen, but it does some prep work for Android.

Not sure if you have to delete your DATA file, and recreate it once again, but it's probably a good idea to do.

Edit: Rebooted and it works! I know we're supposed to refrain from congratulatory comments on here, but I have to say thanks to the guys working towards getting Android on the HD2. My phone broke the other day and instead of allowing me to choose any phone (Was going to go for a Desire) they insist on sending me a refurbished HD2, having no new stock available (Store no longer sells it.)

I was a little bummed out because I'm DYING to use Android over WM, but this makes me a whole lot happier that I might get Android on this huge screen. I know there is still a lot to get done but the pace you all are working at is incredible, and everyone definitely appreciates it.
