Default Andriod on a Treo 750

sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place...

I'm very new to android, but I recently played with a friend's G1 running Android 2.1 and fell in love with the OS, and now I want to put Android (don't really care which version, anything is better than WinMo 5) onto my Palm Treo 750 on the AT&T network. what would I need to know in order to accomplish this?
Because my contract is up in a little under a month, I do not mind if I brick my phone that much - I can just switch back to my old Treo 650 until I can get a new phone dirt cheap when I renew.

I'm even willing to try out an experimental code that someone is trying to debug.

My one restriction is because I'm running 64-bit Windows 7, I can't directly sync my phone with my computer, I have to be able to run the upgrade to Android from a 2Gb Micro SD card.

So any suggestions?

and thanks in advance,
Odin

You could try to download and follow the instructions on: AndroidOnHtc.

I had luck just trying to HaRET.exe on different versions.

I wouldn't however ditch the CE 5.0 just yet. Without official handset manufacturer support it is unlikely to get all the features working.

Here is a List of features I have seen not working on some devices:
  • WiFi (actually on most)
  • GPS
  • Sound (for example on the touch pro 2)
  • Bluetooth (not that I care)
  • Screen resolution (especially if just using a Bundle designed for a different device.)


Let us know how you get on. So far I have only seen it running on HTC devices. So good luck.

Don't use WiFi, GPS, or Blue Tooth, so all I have to really worry about (other than bricking) is sound and screen resolution.
As for only working HTC phones, from what I've read, the Treo 750 is essentially a re-packaged HTC phone - though I cannot remember which one they cited.

Thanks, I'll check out that link and keep everyone appraised is I manage to get it up and running.
