By the time you get the question which OS you want to boot into the phone has already booted into WindowsMobile. If the question was still on the screen you would still receive calls or texts to your phone without any interuption. If you select Android it will run the haret but if you select Window then all it does is exit into the OS thats already running.

All of the loaders have to boot into WindowsMobile before giving you a boot option as the haret.exe which loads Android has to run from within WindowsMobile for now until Android can be flashed to your Rom. Then of course you will lose WindowsMobile completely.

Im planning on udating the loader soon with a settings app and I will also include a timeout in the bootloader option to automatically boot into Android or exit to WindowsMobile after 10 seconds.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mskip:
That usually means that you dont have the rootfs file in the correct place on your Storage Card.

What Rom and Android version are you using?

If you have a standard Rom flashed then most of the Android versions require you to place ALL Android files on the Storage Card in a folder called Android and NOT in the root of the Storage Card. If it isnt in the right place then it wont run.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] famewolf:
Mark,

Thanks for the reply..I'll be installing your cab just as soon as I reboot the phone into windows..the problem is it's been running so well on Android for last 3 days I haven't needed to. Strictly as a safety feature I wonder if your loader would be able to keep track of the times it loads android...the scenario I'm thinking of is where you are loading android but either during boot or shortly thereafter it's in a reboot loop where it goes back to windows.....if the person has to auto load android it's gonna sit there and bounce back and forth over and over which if on battery is gonna kill the phone in a short amount of time....was thinking if you logged the android starts and noticed XX android loads in XX minutes (5 loads in 8 minute span?) you could abort the android load with a message on screen.

I'll ask a dumb question.....so if Im playing with multiple Android roms...for instance mattc alone has both a PPP and a rmnet version of his 1.7 rom...if I have a Android_PPP and Android_rmnet folder on sdcard I can use your loader to select Windows, Android_PPP and Android rmnet....and any others I might add along?

Yeah I envision the day where we have android flashed to our hd2's and we have windows mobile in a folder on the sd card so we can play with it on occasion. ;)

Thanks again.

Hello,

Nice work with this app.

I have a improvement for it, if you may accept it.

What if you would do a application that could be copied into the folder where CLRCAD and HaRET are and when launched three options should be possible:

1) run android now

2) restart into android

3) cancel

1) should launch CLRCAD and HaRET after that, standard thingy.

2) should reboot windows and make it run your app as soon as possible and boot Android asap, again already existing

3) cancel current android launch.

It should also display the folder in which the launcher is in so it should be easier for users to have multiple launchers on their screen without getting confused. And if possible allow the user to name the launcher first time you use it so that it would display the custom name in Sense / WinMo shortcuts.

What do you think?

I currently don't know how to make the second option to work so I can't write the app myself.

Also keep in mind that chefs could also deliver this app default so that no one else would need to reinvent the wheel each time a new distro appears.

Kind regards and thank you for reading this.

P.S.

If you find this useless them could you please let me know where I can find more information in order to implement the second option and create the launcher for myself? Many thanks once again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
But this loader already does those things (with separate icons)...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dlsniper:
This requires you to specify the instalation folder with android and from what I've seen you can't have multiple Android builds on your card and also it actually installs into WinMo instead of just running from the folder of the (android) build.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sb09:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TigerUSA:
launching Android

I have found the best way to run Android under Windows Mobile is to first make sure no other tasks are running. Make sure the phone is completely booted up and check the task manager and close any running tasks. Then use the standard file manager so you can just do one click. There is no need to do anything withing any number of seconds. It should work fine after that. The only thing my testing seems to show is that you may slow down as you add more and more aps. There is a way to default aps to the SD card but the problems is the Android OS lets things run without you running them. Memory booster seems to help.

There is also an android that replaces the WM os entirely which should give the full memory to Android. I wouldn't go that route as I prefer to keep WM available.

i just did a instal of HSPL then updated my radio to 2.12 then copied the Android folder to root SD and then this Android Loader, but Android doesn't get past the screen where it shows "Android" and is loading. It keeps reseting itself. Also when booting up my system is asking if I want to run a program from an unknown source and the hd2 starts giving errors.

Anybody any suggestions?

What is the possibility of adding the ability to choose between 2 different Android roms on my sd card in separate folders? I'd love to be able to choose which rom I want to run without changing out my sd card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mskip:
Well you can do that now just goto Start Menu, Android Loader, Loader Manager and select 'Change Android Path' and select the path of the Android version you want to load. Yo ucan then boot it using the Android icon. When you are ready to use a different Android build on your sd card then use the same process to switch again.

Blue Screen

When i boot the [BUILD]27.09.10|Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.4

with Mskip (latest build)

I get a blue screen on the reboot, then after about 3 minutes, the screen goes black, it seems to have booted but there is no Display.

if i boot this build manually from windows it starts up fine

any clues?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mskip:
I tried to load up the build yesterday using my loader. First time I got the blue screen you mentioned. Booted back into Windows and tried again, this time it ran fine but the Android logo kept rotating over and over. Tried again and it loaded up with the same end result. That was the end of my experience with evo sense lol.

Its not the loader im more inclined to think its the build as all the loader does is run 2 files in whatever folder you set and thats it.

Bootloader causes screen freezes with MattC LeoFroyo 1.8.

Hello

I installed MattC Leo Froyo 1.8 ppp and 1.7 rmnet onto SD Card with sdkcerts and Android Bootloader. I use stock t-mobile windows 2.13

There is a 99% probability of the phone freezing when booted using android bootloader within the first 5 minutes of screen lock/standby (The screen does not turn back on and only a battery pull and reboot enables the phone again). When i boot into android using clrcad and haret directly, there are absolutely no screen freezes after several hours of standby/use.

Any directions?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mskip:
I dont know what to sugest mate all this app does is run the 2 files from the folder that you set on installation. It does nothing else and there really is no way that I can see why Android would freeze when running android using the loader and yet work fine when running the files directly.

The only thing I can sugest is to check the registry folder which holds all the variables that are set on installation. The folder is HKLM, MSkipAndroidLoader. Also did you install to Device Memory or Storage Card?

It took me a while to get completely to Android, but I don't want to go back. Way more and exciting apps than when I had my G1 or Cliq. Thanks for the info. The only problem I am having is that after my HD2 sits for a while, the volume goes all the way down to vibrate. Is there anything you know of that may be causing this?

What WinMo Rom, WinMo Radio and Android Build are you using? There could be a number of different factors but the first thing you could try is updating your Radio if you have an older version on your phone. If you have an EVO Android Build then it might be worth trying a stock Froyo version such as tytungs version *HERE* which im using and runs extremely smoothly with hastarins 7.7 kernel. No freezes and no problems at all.

Im not sure if theres a minimum rom base required but your radio needs to be 2.08 or higher. If you have a European HD2 (512Rom) then you can install HSPL2 or HSPL3 and then flash a new radio. You might also want to format your storage card with FAT32 to have the best chance of success.

If I was you I would try a stock Android Build first to make sure the Android process works. The Desire builds seem to take alot longer to load on first boot (upto 20 minutes in some cases) and are a bit more buggy.

Once you know the Android process works with a stock build then you can try a Desire build if you so wish but just expect a long wait on the first run.

Also you might want to make sure your Radio is quite new as that can cause problems in some builds.

Mark.
