[Q] Totally Kill WinMo??

---

Is there a way to whip WinMo off the device and just run droid??

Yes droid has it's issues, but as long as I have wifi,gps and txting functions, I'm pretty much fine..lol

SOund wouldn't hurt but I think in the near future it will get fixed.


Any help??

as of now, no.

but i do got an idea that came to me the other day to make it a faster boot into wm so it wont stay there long. if it actually works, i dont know since i still like wm and dont feel like trying it out.

ok, here is what i thought of.

1. Install "HD Tweak" (google it or search xda)
2. Launch HD Tweak and go to section 12. startup (i beileve its what is called) and disable the startup animation and sound. and then close the program, if it ask you to restart DONT.
3. Go to settings and disable HTC Sense (or what ever your running) and have nothing checked on the boxes so its just pretty much the background as your home.
4. Go to file explorer (or what ever you use) and then go to the andboot file (or what ever you have it under) and create a shortcut and put the shortcut into the \Windows\Startup file
5. Restart your phone and hope it works.

what might also help is if your have a fast ROM that starts up on boot and if possible do a hard reset and dont install nothing so it will keep a fast speed and maybe boot. then follow the steps mentioned above.


just remember that this is just an idea so i dont know if this would actually work or if anything would happen to your phone. if it does work and you want to use wm again then just take out your sd card so the shortcut to haret wont work and wm should continue from there.

So this is to boot Android without booting into WinMo??

Looks interesting.

Gotta work in a bit and really don't have time to experiment right now but I will try it out and see what happens. Could it make me a new paperweight by chance??

Edit: Just did it...waiting for boot....HTC screen.....kk..Booted into WinMo but with Haret running...idk..Here's some shots







If the shots arrnt clear enough I can explain em..lol

But yea...I followed the directions and got that..lol

I'm running the Energy rom..Theres like 5 things in my startup folder..should I take em all out and just leave Haret in?? And also, wouldn't Haret need a way to get directed to the kernel and stuff for droid?? Also..Was I supposed to add the Haret.exe file???? I looked for the andboot folder and I didn't add it to my sd card..All my files for droid were inside it and I just copied and pasted all of em out to my SD card.

This is interesting..Maybe we should start tinkering..lol

haha well you almost had the idea but you messed up. you werent supposed to copy the haret itself but where ever you have it located long click it and maybe in the normal file explorer it lets you create a shortcut (dont remember since i installed a cab called file explorer extension which gives it more options). with that short cut, move it over to the startup folder. and just in case make a copy of your startup.txt and rename the copy default.txt so if the start up ever ends up getting corrupted then you can just click on the run button.

but my theory shouldnt make your phone into a paperweight because all your really doing is just disabling your home to plain and adding a shortcut, nothing could make it a paperweight in general but haret still does have a verrrrryyyy little chance to make something go wrong which you should already know.

but my way doesnt kick wm out since it still needs to boot up to see the haret shortcut in the startup folder. just makes it quicker to boot into android on alot faster

Don't want winmo? Buy a driod phone. I don't think we will ever have sound on out Tilt2 with andriod.

some of us tried nand boot on the tp2. You can read on ppcgeeks.

It can and will be done

lot of changes to do to the kernel but yea.. it will be done.

If all goes well I should have one of these devices to test and hack on. Once I do I'll try my best to get android flashed to nand. How far is along is the android port for this phone? I'm getting the CDMA Sprint variant for very cheap.

But only if Android is deemed useable enough for day to day use I guess. The main problem is that almost all the devs have moved to HD2 android development, so apart from the in call volume fix we haven't seen a new functionality for at least 3 months (GPS), and no major breakthrough for ages. The only ones actively developing for TP(2)/TD(2) are working on the new topaz board and getting it to run on the Xperia IMHO and some dudes that reefermatters is in contact with, although reef hasn't posted an update from them for 2 weeks now

I really hope android will run smoothly on the TP2, but honestly I think we will never get it to work properly

Let's hope for a miracle soon
