NICE! I thought this was going to take MONTHS to a YEAR!!! Great work!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
good thing i didn't sell my HD2 yet :P

It's still not ready, plus it still needs TS driver
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stirkac:
guys, you really deserve every single praise there is! it's been like.. :eek: ..3 days from fixed kernel to Ubuntu and Android. Do you even sleep? xD

i know redbull helps a lot, buy give yourself some rest, we don't want casualties :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] metiktiky:
OMG :eek::eek::eek: you guys are genius!!

This make me feel like a little cute robot running around in HD2 is will happen very soon :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ams84:
ie. that lacks only the touch screen driver or what?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DiegoED:

wowoweewa Amazing
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoran123456:
i believe we are all too optimistic. Maybe Android can run after Touch Screen driver, but what next ? Sound, Graphic, 3D, Calls, GPS, WIFI, Camera, bluetooth, ... and bunch of other thingies i don't know what are they for. And what about bug fixes ? Buggy Android is much less useful than WM 6.5.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
you are too pessimistic.

have you read the irc logs?

they have more than you think.

TS driver is needed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hendr1k:
honestly at the moment, I don't really care about driver just happy that hd2 can ran android heheh..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PePPaZ:
I agree. Microsoft gave htc a ton of money to make a flagship winmo phone to re ignite interest in winmo for 7- and the trouble these devd are going through makes me frustrated and a little angry. Froyo 2.2 on this would be orgasmic, but I agree, that it will never be good enough for a daily user with an emulation like this. :(

Edit - but ! I am hopeful and rooting for you guys! <3
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] callmecooper:
gps wifi camera bluetooth 3d sound and calls, come all to easy compared to this. the devs here on xda are amazing, and do really good work.

ive been predominately in the G1 thread until now, since im ready to upgrade. and just the guys in the G1/Mytouch forum work so fast, they've got everything working in just a few days after the initial boot.

this may be a little different however, dunno where the drivers are gonna come from. How does the EVO hardware match up with the HD2? driver wise?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
who said anything about emulation?

nothing is being emulated

read the first 2 posts in the thread, Thank You
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magic_man:
Some of those should be part of the qcom soc. So the driver should be part of the kernel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoran123456:
Just for curiosity, why are they porting Android 2.1 ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] callmecooper:
thanks sorry, ive skimmed through most of this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PePPaZ:
My bad, I was reading that haret uses emulation to load android. I was wrong
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
The evo doesn't match up much at all with the hd2. The G1 is completely different situation because it was already android... its easy to get new builds working.

Look at all the android ports for other winmo devices like the touch pro or tp2... they've been developed for over 2 years.. and still have major battery draining issues, no camera, no sound on some, etc... Getting android to boot is a great accomplishment... it shows it can be done. But it is nowhere near a android port that can be used daily on your phone. I think we will be very lucky if we have a fully functional port that can be used full-time in a year from now.... I would consider that quick. I think a lot of people here are expecting miracles and think they will be using android full-time on their HD2s in a couple weeks or months and that it will work like an android phone. That's just not realistic. Look at all the past android ports for winmo phones. It takes time. If you want an android phone, don't get the hd2 expecting it will be one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] callmecooper:
probably for ease, and there are already many builds of it. good place to get started, 2.2 will come eventually.

i would rather have 2.1 sooner, than wait many weeks longer for 2.2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
From a technical standpoint, Android is a disgrace of a linux platform. It's not all too friendly with native code, and it doesn't allow programs written for DE's such as gnome (gtk) or KDE (qt) to run very easily without re-porting.

I know all you phone-a-holics are in love with the green robot alien and that's your only concern with this device (and yes, it is a very cool phone OS, sure), just imagine (if you know ANYTHING about using mainstream linux distros) full KDE 4.4/4.5 on this rig, with openoffice (or koffice), etc running natively. Man, a full desktop in the palm of your hand... nerdiness heaven, dude.

That's one way to transform your $400 phone into a computer as well. That way you get double the bang for the buck. For phone use, WinMo is darn sufficient.

For both uses, Maemo/MeeGo is optimal. I don't get how everyone wants android just to be with the "popular" club.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domineus:
You deserve a medal

you're right absolutely right. Every single port of android save from the htc touch vogue builds have a lot of things not working at the moment...and to be honest save from a faster texting interface and the ability to have a choice of a different operating system, a lot needs to be done. Truly full ports take time and I applaud the progress being made, but for non android devices, its far too buggy.

People expect that everything will magically work when android, like all development is a work in progress. I like the ability of having a choice as well as the next person but when it gets to functional, buy an android device.

For those who want to test the Anroid Boot on Leo, download the file in the following link:

http://hotfile.com/dl/51075243/8eef7de/Android_Boot_Test.rar.html

or

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=52UPHVS2

or

http://www.mediafire.com/?ktynizwcqng

then extract the files to SD root and run Haret.exe

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blades:
Wish Android had the support for the usb-network that dcordes has on ubuntu. androidvncserver would let you guys explore ur accomplishment while touchscreen drivers were still WIP.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Prozar:
You guys are awesome. I've been following this Android project since dcordes created the thread, checking the news everyday !

I thank you sincerely for all the efforts you put in this project.

Expect a donation from me once it's done, because you really deserve it !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
Weird...it just gets to a point where the screen blanks. I do know Cotulla has it booting, but it isn't for me, already testes several times. Same thing each time. Blanks. Well, carry on folks, it's good to know this is getting nearer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoran123456:
so, news, they are having problems with 3D graphics - some are working, some are not, and some are very slow.

Expect more problems to come as they are starting to dig ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maxld:
Strange, for me it is booting just fine
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
That's another thing I've been wondering.... a lot of people keep saying that they will donate once it's done, but how done do you mean? Once it can boot and touch screen work? Once everything works and it runs just like an android phone?... because it could be years before everything works and it works like an android based phone. Even on the touch pro android port, which has been developed for almost 2 years, maybe more, there are still many issues. Camera doesn't work, battery only lasts for a few hours, and many other bugs. There is not going to be a "finished" android port for a long time, if ever... so when you say that you'll donate when it's done, you should be more specific as to what you mean by "done".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
Hi maxld.

My version is unlocked UK version, what is yours?

I just copied everythint to the root of the sd.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Prozar:
I used the megaupload link and can't boot my HD2 anymore on WinMo...

Trying to restore...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
Sorry double-post.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ElBartoME:
The posted build is working. I had to format the SD card twice, but I see Android booting and I also get the same screen as in the screenshot from cotulla. But after one minute the screen turns black...strange. Of course the TS is not working. ;)

But hey, it's great to see such a progress. :) Keep up the good work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mooooooa:
i cant boot winmo anymore, too... :S after trying the megaupload package.. have to hard reset now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mondragó:
I disagree with you. This is exactly what Microsoft tried with Windows Mobile. A mobile phone IS NOT a desktop computer. Apple understood it and this was their success. Google understood it too and created Android. The great thing about it: the kernel is Linux!! But never, never try to transform my phone into a desktop computer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cablekevin:
I think the screen is going black because it's not registering any input (i.e. Touchscreen coördinates)

I want my HD2 back it's gone for repairs almost 5 weeks now, if i don't have my phone back by Thursday, i'll drive into the store with my bike to get myself a phone...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
These are exciting times for the HD2!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hedgy2136:
Did you copy the files to the root of the SD card or the phone itself?

Works fine for me, just have to reset after it boots. Great work and I am looking forward to more progress.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
Just a question, people being able to boot have the american version of it, and people getting blank/other problems have european versions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ElBartoME:
I have the european version. And I'm using the Radio 2.11.50.20. And it is working.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
I think most of the devs are european or russian, so i doubt only us versions work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
Thanks ElBartoME. Going to try and ask around what versions are running and wich aren't.

Thanks zarathustrax for input. It's got to be something though, other user said he "had" to reformat sd several times, dunno what that means but going to look at it just the same.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aszu:
Just to clarify: no one is porting any particular version at the moment. The last critical bug has been just rectified, which prevented Android from booting (thought it was rather kernel misconfiguration than bug).

Now Cotulla is writing touchscreen driver so we can interact with the system, check how it behaves, try different builds and then port one of them. It would still require huge amount of work to make it usable as most of the components (camera, gps, connectivity, sound) most likely won't work out of the box. For many of them drivers would have to be written from the scratch - not to mention numerous bugs that will definitively appear.

To summarise: there is a still very long road ahead, however very significant progress has been made in the last days.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] callmecooper:
just to clarify, im sure people will be donating once there is a touchscreen driver, and people are at least able to navigate around the OS, regardless of whether anything actually works. i know thats what i mean.

so yeah, when i can unlock the screen and see some desktop and open that app drawer, i will be donating FO SHO!!

Not working on uk sim free hd2!!! :(

My UK SIM Free HD2 just fades to a black screen! I am running the stock 1.66 rom at the moment and the 2.09.51.03 radio if that matters? Also I have a Sandisk 16GB MicroSD Card?

Whats going on, I also downloaded it from megaupload. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
microang : I got one of those too man, same result.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
That's all you're going to get now.

It boots

noone said it was fully functional.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] microang:
I know but mine does not boot! I don't see the xdandroid logo! The white writing just starts blurring up after a few seconds and thats that it doesn't boot on my HD2! :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
scrizz : you didn't get it, on some it doesn't boot. It blanks mid loading.

I been lurking the irc channel and I know it is not functional because there isn't even a touch screen driver. Just trying to establish if I need a rom update for it to work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ElBartoME:
Try to reformat your SD Card with windows. And make it FAT. That's the way it worked for me.

Damn, i need that USB Hub for the HD2. I hope dcordes is going to write that tutorial. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
That's one reason I love Windows Mobile. XD Well, okay, nobody loves it. But I appreciate that is has a lot in common with its desktop counterpart. Except for running programs, window management, etc. What irony. :p

I DO want a desktop in the palm of my hand, thank you very much. Eyestrain? What eyestrain? :cool: Come on, Ubuntu! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
Well, did the fat format, copy to root, fades at init panel. Oh well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
what download are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ronkra:
scrizz: the Android_Boot_Test one, got it from megaupload.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] togeis:
I have the same problem... copied to root on an 4GB SD and fading to black....

Having EU HD2 with 1.66 Stock Rom

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] microang:
Here are 2 videos of the failure and a pic of my set up!

As I said before after a few seconds it blures out and fails to boot! Here are 2 videos and a photo of my set up, the first video is on a fully formated in FAT32 2GB MicroSD Card with just Android on it, the second is a full FAT format and still the same! It always fails at Init panel.

idky im double posting? and thats not me lol sorry i should have mentioned that in the first post i got that from a few pages back i just re put it up for the guy asking how far the devs have gotten
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] microang:
If you look at my post further up the page and look at the two videos within you'll understand! After about en seconds it blurs at Init Panel, I doesn't even begin booting the kernel! :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jagger2k:
Look, download the file from this post, 3rd link is prob the quickest,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6973193&postcount=2033

2- put ur micro SD card in a card reader, or connect your phone and format the card to FAT

3- Extract the files and copy them stragiht to the root of the card

4-run it on your phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] travis610:
idk why yours isnt going as far as the others =( but so far from what i understand its just the startup screen that appears then it shuts out or something and i havent done it on my phone cause idk how and i rather not brick it haha idk alot about this stuff i just finaly was able to get the chuckyrom on mine and the hspl3 so thats all ive done to my phone but there is an app in omarket called androkkid which is pretty fun but its not that great lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgerbracht:
I've been actively following the logs. I don't understand most of what they are talking about, but it seems like after the haret was patched properly to get by the seg fault problem, they were stuck for two days. They figured out there was a simple line of code that was messing things up...I think they felt like it was a boneheaded simple oversight. Once that was cleared up, they could boot...now they are working on some new driver (among dozens of other things).

That help?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hmshood:
I had the problem with screen fade at Init Panel to start with, using radio version 2.07.

Upgraded radio to 2.10 and it works fine now until android loads but after a while screen turns blue and then fades to black.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] travis610:
i kinda got that haha
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jagger2k:
You wont brick your phone using this, cus its not writting any of the rom, its just running a program within windows mobile.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jagger2k:
Yea, sounds about right, that all its doing for now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domineus:
that boot sequence is hot though =)

but blue screen could be related to the touch driver

Is Android Stable for HTC HD2 US Phones

I would like to know if Android 2.0 or 2.1 software is stable to install onto the T Mobile HTC HD2 US Phones. If so, is their an instructions page on how to do this? Thanks!

actually, i have heard of one time where it managed to mess with the phones RAM.. that didn't turn out very well..

I don't know any of the details around it. might have been a totally different build and kernel too : P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] microang:
WORKING!!!

WOOHOO!!! Installed HardSPL again and flashed the radio 2.10.50.08_2 and it worked!!! No bsod either! Just had the complete action with prompt!

Why did I have to change the radio though? What about people who don't want to void their warrenty, decordes maybe you can look into this?

Thanks everyone, I'm waiting in line to beta test as soon as the touch screen driver is finished and I can interact with android! For now all I can do is show off the boot process! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] travis610:
sweet! but what does all that mean? i got the haret on my phone and when i open it it says default.txt and when i click run it says cannot open script file \storagecard\default.txt lol im a noob at this kinda stuff
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgerbracht:
Hehe, these never get old. Yes Android works perfectly right now, just like an EVO. I mean, they look similar and have the same size screen. Those silly developers finally figured out that all you have to do is click on the install file and it will all work perfectly.

:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domineus:
interesting

radio and no bsod I wonder ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] microang:

Works great on Tmobile hd2..

So this works great on US hd2. First time it took about 3 minutes. I've noticed if you run HaRET with usb plugged you will get a bsd. So make sure you run it without usb plugged in. It's only up to where Cotulla has it working due to the lack of ts drivers. Awesome work to the whole team!
