[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jshin:
I love how there is a whole page of what not to do on this thread but absolutely no step by step instructions on how to get this done. = weak, maybe I should post some photos of breasts lmao - how about a step by step, I have the bootloader working and thought I had a version of Android but when I attempt to boot it gives me an error, and after reading almost all 400 pages of this thread have no idea what I am doing wrong. I am sure it is just one vital step but without a comprehensive step by step I am lost. Thanks for the copyright reminder and the reminder to not use profanity, sure some people have no sense but what about those who could really use a step by step.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BearZ:
no, I never encountered that problem, the only things were the Turbo mode and green screen which was AFTER all the text scrolled down the screen. Maybe you should remove all the builds you are not using off the mem card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kntdookoo:
Please provide your current phone's radio, rom, SD card etc. Maybe someone will help you.

What do you mean "you thought you had a version of android"

This is everything you need to download:

http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/hd2/Cotulla_LEO_Android21_HW3D_BT_WLAN_DATA.rar

and this

http://xdaforums.com/atta...4&d=1279136957

1) Download both of those. Extract all contents to the root of your SD.

3) Launch any file manager from within windows mobile and goto your root of SD

4) Launch CLRCAD.exe then launch haret.exe in the root of your sd (storage) card.

Thats it!

If you get a black screen read this from another poster:

STEPS ONLY IF YOU GET BLACK SCREEN:

The following information is ONLY needed if your linux doesn't boot and freezes with black screen and you want to change your radio to a linux compatible one.

1) Get HSPL3 from: http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1893 (Only if you don't have HSPL, if you don't know, then you don't have HSPL)

2) Get a 2.xx.50.xx radio rom from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 (2.10.50.xx is fine)

3) Get Custom RUU from: http://xdaforums.com/show...17&postcount=1

4) Install HSPL(connect your phone in activesync mode via usb cable)

5) Install 2.xx.50.xx radio via customruu. Don't worry about what CustomRUU says, you will not lose settings and data. (It won't hard reset when upgrading only the Radio ROM)

Thats it! Now you can run haret and boot android

What's Even Better

Even better is reading pages and pages in this thread of people asking why their phone is crashing. I thought the moderators were going to clean this stuff up. This is an amazing project, but the thread has become A LOT less about the development and more about people just endlessly requesting improvements to a project that's not DONE.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
Make sure you have disabled auto backlight in WinMo and set your timeouts to maximum.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jshin:
Thats it! Now you can run haret and boot android[/QUOTE]

Well Awesome, I just needed the steps involved, haven't tried yet honestly because I am a little to well intoxicated haha. Not sure of my radio but I have the newest Energy Rom and also the standard SD from T-MO so I think class - 2. But this was going to be a trial run and intend(ed) to update to the highest class I could get from my local electronics store. The think that frustrated me was the lack of info on the front page. I got the Froyo version of Android, installed it directly to the sd guess this is the root = no folder right? Maybe this is my issue I don't exactly know what the root of my sd is. I placed it on my sd and it shows up in the main list so I do not go into a folder to see it? I read almost every page in this thread today when I was on the clock at work, thought I was going to be able to get it going np but yeah problems. lol

cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jshin:
I expected crashes and tech problems, this is a beta. I just thought I was smart enough to get it going, guess I am a little dense. I have been flashing custom roms since my HTC Juno however, guess this is a little more technical. And yes this is an amazing project. Just bought the Samsung Vibrant for my wife and wanted to show her why WM was a better platform.

can someone build a new android pack pls? cuz if u check the Htc-linux status page, u'll see that the camera is 100% working now (with Video Recording), GPRS/EDGE/UMTS Data problems seems also to be fixed and even Audio Routing and Battery Charging is working now :D

but, is haret equivalent to it or is it just an emulation?

do a little homework...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] foyaeman:
Haret terminates WinMo and reboots the device at a base level into linux, its not an emulator.

There are not many steps to do this. You just download the files, from the 2nd post, and place them (uncompressed) onto your SD card in the root directory and then run haret. Also put a video file onto the root directory of the SD card to watch a video.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spastik:
does anyone have a decompiled ROM from the evo ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cidica:
well with the EVO rom getting released now it's going to be very intresting to see what can/does happen with this. I want the HD2 but I honestly do not like WinMo anymore. Will be very intresting to see how this now picks up if it does indeed do so with the EVO rom leaked. If so I just might have to old off on the slide and pick up the HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sheraz150:
With the announce of Froyo and Androids success. Windows mobile on the HD2 just isn't cutting it. Hopefully someone can set us free soon and port Android. Who's working on this btw? Is there a problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domineus:
if you don't want winmo don't buy the handset. Its really that simple. This port will take time as has been said ad finitum concerning android and hd2. There are several good android handsets available. So if you think winmo isn't cutting it sell your hd2 and get an android if you want android so bad :rolleyes:

gah tired of the clutter of android needs to be on hd2 because winmo sucks bla bla bla..oi
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HeavyComponent:

Well, now its available , someone has released the Supersonic rom.

Thanks to Conflipper : shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic

It should help a lot.:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
If you don't like WinMo, don't get the HD2. The android port will take a long time to have a fully functional port. The evo probably won't help much. There is still a lot of work to do and android on the HD2 will probably never be as good as an android phone. Android ports to WinMo phones are generally not used full-time. It's nice to be able to boot into android to play around, but they are usually not functional enough to completely replace WinMo... at least not for a LONG time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sheraz150:
Thanks for restating that for the millionth time, I'm hearing this same statement more then people whining now. We get it...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mediaman30:
Actually this is the first two phones with the same specs. An android port won't be as hard in as the past! I f they can get a full functional android on an iphone 3g Jubeh and others will have a port soon! I would say by the end of the month!

Just wondering

Hello just wondering but when you boot a android phone does it basically load process's similar to what the haret does but its just covered up by the boot screen animation? sorry if is a dumb question thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kasush:
Except that you are forgetting THE most important piece of information; iphone runs on UNIX. Much easier to port a linux based system to a UNIX core than create a linux core from near scratch on hardware that has limited, or no, linux drivers. Everyone talks about Android. Android is a shell that runs on top of the OS, exactly the same way Windows 3.1.1 ran on top of DOS. I am unsure how many people talking about iphone and such will be old enough to even remember DOS or Win3.x but for the rest of us it is simple.

/soapbox

Thank you to all who are working on this, it would be nice to completely replacre windows on my HD2, but I know it will almost definately reach that point. I hate WP7 even before it comes out so my choices are win6.x or android. Win6.x is fine for me as long as there are apps and updates available. Once those are gone I am gonna be lost.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] foyaeman:
Does this mean there is now support for qsd8x50 (snapdragon) device?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Do you get it?....:rolleyes:

This is almost the millionth time I've heard someone complaining about WinMo and asking for Android on the HD2. It kinda sounds like your hoping to replace WinMo with Android soon. Also, I wasn't even responding to you before... and I was simply trying to say to not get your hopes up for an Android replacement soon... it's not gonna be as functional as an Android phone anytime soon... if ever. I'm sorry if you have a problem with me saying that.

BTW... your questions could be answered by reading the thread.:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jeff7790:
since the evo 4g rom has been leaked is there going to be android port soon for the leo or hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jubeh:
Oh, don't hold me to that. I'm still trying to understand HaRET. I have nothing to do with the Linux on LEO project, but I can contribute once Android is running by putting out some decent Android builds (that's what I do on the Dream parts of these forums).

Once I learn more, maybe I can contribute, but in the mean time I feel kinda weird seeing my name pop up without merit.

i turned of screen brightness setting from auto to allways 100% and dissabled to dimming of the screen.

running dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 with clrcad.exe

sync facebook ->synced :).

all is working fast and quite stable (thow few minar application crashes)

once the screen is "gray" (can be cause by me by pressing the end key, or by wayting for some time).

though the screen not really turned off. not pure black i can still see some light

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Please SEARCH before asking questions as this has been asked and answered many many times in this thread.

Change screen off time on android to 30minutes as putting the screen in standby (on most devices) will give you the sleep of death and will require a soft reset.

Hello,

I'm running dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 with clrcad.exe and radio 2.10

The first time I boot android I get a green screen

The second time everything works as a charm

The third and next times I get the message I need to unzip the rootfs zip file to the root of my sd card...

Then I delete the Android folder on the root of the SD card and it start again with the green screen, the second boot is working fine, and the third and next times again the same message...

Any Idea where my problem is?

New Cotulla zimage supporting battery level and standby fix.

Works really well but can't get brightness level above minimum no matter what I do in WM or Android and although it says charging when USB plugged in, it doesn't seem to be doing so. I also get green blocks on the screen during standby. However, it comes out of standby 100% of the time and the backlight is off when in standby. Button LEDS seem to be on all the time too.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pi_mento:
Great news! but how do you update the files?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Download Cotulla_zImage_SNDIN_BAT_DATA.rar then extract the zimage file into either your memory stick root or your Android folder depending on what build you're using, this will overwrite the current one.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Let me know if you have any luck fixing the screen brightness level. Also, did you manage to get the charging working? Mine says charging but doesn't.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
The camera works brilliantly but don't turn on video as that isn't implemented yet. It tries to start it and can't which then results in you having to force close it. It then won't start when you try to open it again so my camera has now ceased to function.

This is getting close to a full time build now. I also notice my phone is running cooler on this new zimage, probably due to the screen brightness being constantly dimm.

Hats off to the devs, keep up the good work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hirnteri:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Can you elaborate on this? I set screen brightness in WM to 100% and that transfers to Android, but only until you put the phone into standby then it goes back to dim on wakeup.

Hey guys,

I still have the problem with the screen brightness after switching the HD2 into stand by! Are there any solutions for this problem because you cant see anything on the screen due to the screen brightness is too low!

I'd love to know how you managed that because you're the first person I have heard about who has charging working. Mine says it's charging but isn't.

Are you absolutely sure your percentage is increasing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I'm hoping all future builds start to use a root folder like Dan's does. It certainly makes things neater and easier to organise.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
same thing happened on touch pro's , then it went back to the root folder again. I couldn't agree more. I hate trying to find all the android folders and deleting them for updates etc. I also have an extra sd card for testing. I'm going to merge the two builds on it and see if that changes anything...wish I knew how to edit the init file to point to "Android" folder...maybe dan will fix his today and we'll be 1 step closer..

another funny thing is that Froyo runs great on my son's HD2, mine gives me trouble hanging at least 3-5 times everytime when haret tries to restart linux..:confused:

Mine is increasing, rater slow. But when i started Android it was 50 percent. Then I pluged it in and now he is a 55 percent... ow wait 56 :). I use the froyo built from Dan with the latest Zimage.

btw: except the fact that the brightnes isn't perfect i can now use Android for a long time :) I'm also very happy that the phone doesn't get that warm anymore. When Wlan is turned of, it feels juist like normal!
