Installation

Use a Windows Mobile ROM that is known to work with Android (I am using Miri's WM6.5.x XtraLight for fast booting into Android)

Use a Radio version that is known to work with Android (I am using Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2)

Download one of the Android builds above

Extract it to the root of your SD card

Start "\Storage Card\haret.exe" (in fact haret.exe is BatchLaunch)

Android autoboot

Install Gen.Y DualBOOT for starting Android into your Windows Mobile

Reboot your Windows Mobile

If Gen.Y DualBOOT is not loaded on Windows Mobile boot create a shortcut of the Gen.Y tool and place it under "\Windows\Startup\", then reboot again

Switching Android builds without data loss

At first: INVEST THE COUPLE OF MINUTES TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR "\Storage Card\Android\" FOLDER!!!

Believe me, even if the strategy is perfect, there are other reasons to fail like filesystems and others.

HAVING A BACKUP IS THE BEST STRATEGY!

Method #1 (the simplest)

Replace everything in your "\Storage Card\Android\" folder but keep "data.img" as this is where your settings and market apps reside in.

Method #2

Use third party apps like described in this thread.

This helps to give faster support and improve the builds.
