Default [ROM][30JAN10]Gen.Y PX-TP R0 with XDANDROID (Standard|Core)

First of all, check out the XDANDROID team. Please support them because they are the ones that made android possible on the diamond. Another big thank you goes to the creators of HaRET, which allows us to boot into Android and shutdown WM





This is a Touch Pro version of my Gen.Y PX-D ROM for the Diamond. It's an all-in-one, dual-boot rom with XDANDROID. This ROM features a very light & optimized Gen.Y WM 6.1 core (which is accesible, more about that below) & the latest version of XDANDROID v2.1 (27.01.2010 at the launch of R0). The WM Core has all the basic stuff included (e.g. gps, bluetooth, phone, sms, alarm, camera).

This is an all-in-one ROM, meaning it already has XDANDROID cooked in, which is installed and configured during the first boot.
The second boot, u get the custom Gen.Y DualBOOT* (made by myself), which allows u to boot into windows (to update the android build, testing, etc.) or boot directly into android using haret. (more info below)

* The first time after customization reset, the Gen.Y DualSWITCH-TP app launches (one time only), allowing you to quickly set your hardware keyboard in android by choosing either the stock HTC Touch Pro or the AT&T Fuze.


I know XDANDROID is not yet perfect, but this is more of a proof-of-concept ROM, showing that it will be possible to replace WM on the Touch Pro/Fuze.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I sync my WM contacts, appointments etc. to Android?
A:

Q: How does this work? Do they both (WM & Android) work at the same time?
A: Nope, to boot Android we use HaRET, which is a tool that completely shuts down Windows Mobile, and boots into Android.

Q: Is this a multilanguage ROM? Which languages are supported?
A: The WM Core is WWE, however, Android supports multiple languages: Cestina, Deutsch, English, Espanol Français, Italiano, Japanese, Korean, Nederlands, Polski, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)

Q: Why don't I have any ringtones, notification tones etc?
For people who have problems with no having no ringtones, notification tones or general music problems look here:

Or you can always set a custom mp3 as your ringtone if the problem persists.

Q: After I press the power button, the screen sometimes lights up but stays black?
This is a known issue, just press the power button a couple times and the lockscreen should pop up.

Q: Turning WiFi on/off freezes/reboots my devices? What can i do?
Add the "Power Control" widget (long press in the home screen > Widgets > Power Control), and use the widget to turn on/off WiFi

Q: How are the hardbuttons configured?

Preparation
There are a couple things u MUST do before u flash this ROM:

1) Disable the PIN Code

2)

-Enabled the GPRS Connection (it works for me without this step but sometime not)
-disabled the airplane mode (if you activated the GPRS you should't be in this mode ^^
-disable whatever special state you put your phone in.

2) If u already have a copy of XDANDROID on your storage card, it's strong recommended u delete all these files before flashing

3) U need to have at least ~300-400MB of free space on your Storage Card before flashing this ROM.

4) And last but not least, Disable the PIN Code, just in case u forget

5) Be advised that the first boot of Android takes a while (~10 minutes), but subsequent boots are alot faster (~2 minutes)

Gen.Y DualBOOT User Guide


* Enabling FastBoot requires AutoBoot to be enabled

Check out this thread, to see what's working / not working & follow the latest developments

Not working (as of 30.10.2010):

  • Camera
  • GPS
  • Bluetooth
  • Opengles hardware acceleration

* U might get an FC (Force Close) on startup concerning the keyboard, just close it and ignore it, keyboard works just fine

Download

Standard version: includes the full XDANDROID package, and XDANDROID is installed automatically to the Storage Card
Core version: does not include the XDANDROID package, requires XDANDROID to be manually installed to the Storage Card

Standard version ~118 MB
Gen.Y PX-TP R0 Standard

Core version ~36 MB (for Advanced Users only, must install XDANDROID manually with this one!)

I was just playing around with XDANDROID and Windows Mobile to see what was working out the best. I think your release will be great and really looking forward to try it out! Thanks for taking your time to create this rom for us noobs who struggle to make XDANDROID and Windows Mobile work smoothly on HTC Touch Pro!

Very cool. Thank you as usual, yozgatg! I'll be making another donation when I can.

is it possible in nearly future, that i can run it on my HD2? Android or XDAndroid?
maybe after the release of the HTC Dragon??

sorry, if I be in the wrong Thread?!

i like the idea of dualrom..

Can't seem to find any bugs yet
Took about 3-5minutes first boot to setup the DualBoot, then restarted and the DualBoot program started and I selected Android, but, the first Android boot seemed a bit longer than usual But other than that it seemed to work like normal

And now I am testing the WinMo ROM..
Seems to work perfectly just like any other stripped WinMo ROM

NICE job!

I'll give it a test if you need to. Need to flash to a new firmware so I can test it before I flash to a newer firmware.
