You sure can. Go to the hd2 subforum for android on sd card. Pick some builds. Ty them out. Use this to boot whichever one you want. You are going to have to do a lot more reading to figure it all out though. Good luck, the information is all out there for you.

I wouldn't worry about this bit until you've got the android roms booting from sd first. All this is, is a easy way to run the Haret.exe which kicks off booting android from sd, so you'll need all that working first.

Hi Guys,
I've got confused! :confused:
Is there any way that I could run Dual Boot (WM6.5 and Android) on my HTC HD2?
If yes please help me on this! I've read some posts in here and there saying that there is no Android port right now for HD2 (posts were old like the first one in here!) and I'm not sure if this is still a problem or it has been solved!!?!

Please provide me links to all software that I need, if you can! :eek:

Thanks in advance

BTW, here are my device OS details:
OS Version: 5.2.21913 (21913.0.94)
Manila Version: 2.5.20181527.0
ROM Version: 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM Date: 09/29/10
Radio Version: 2.15.50.14
Protocol Version: 15.42.50.11U

My friend check out this link for the best HD2 Android auto booter. It allows you to boot multiple builds from your sd card.;)

Android Boot Issue

Hi my rom and device are in my sig. (HD2)

I have successfully installed the app & edited registry so as to boot android from "\SD Card\Android". Both o/s are recognized properly from the loader so as to select one of them. However, when I hit Android it starts to load as usually but it ends with a reset. When I load Android manually from the link in Start Menu no problem at all exists.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Please read and learn about your device and the application you are asking about BEFORE posting (forum rules).

If you have android booting from SD card using haret.exe then it will work. This is mentioned in the original post (and last few posts on this page), which you have not read.

My guess your shortcut calls a different startup.txt to be used or it loads a different build (if you have more than one). This app only provides a easy way to run haret or similar, with no commandline extras.

You may get the same effect if you run haret from explorer, but that's my guess. Otherwise, not sure.

May I know how to revert back to winmo if I am not using Gen.Y dual boot? And for gen.Y dual boot does it ask you which OS you wanna load everytime you turn on the device wether it was android or winmo when it's turned off?

Having Android installed at SD card -> storage card -> android folder
and running 6.5 at memory

Changing the registry values at software\gen y as described with following settings

"StorageBootMode"=dword:1
"AndroidBootFolder"="\storage card\android"

but at boot it still says missing android and only booting win 6.5.
Pls advise!

P.S.: starting android via resco explorer -> storage card -> android -> clrcad.exe then haret.exe works fine

I have this installed for quite a while and it works perfectly. However, I cannot get it to save my last choice of OS to boot. It's default is WM but I want to set the default to Android but it just will not save it. It did do it before. I've no idea why it won't work anymore.

Any suggestions ?

    Just to clear up the most asked question in this thread, this app will NOT work with the HTC HD2, because there is no android distro available yet for that platform (SnapDragon)

    Gen.Y DualBOOT: Dual boot solution for Windows Mobile devices with XDANDROID

    Before I start, I wanted to give my props to all android developers that made android possible on our devices: please support these guys: XDANDROID team (Diamond/Raphael/Blackstone..), Topaz Android Team & others that I might have missed

    *Just to clear things up, this is only a bootlauncher app, u still need to install android for yourself on your device



    Introduction
    Android on WM devices is getting more and more popular, especially with the latest developments, and it's almost ready for daily use. I wanted to have an app so we could easily boot into both WM & Android, and Gen.Y DualBOOT was the solution. This release is made for VGA devices, and supports booting Android both from Internal Storage (moviNAND, e.g. Touch Diamond) & Storage Card (SDMemory, e.g. Touch Pro). WVGA version and QVGA version is also ready. This app has been tested on WM6.1, but will work perfectly on WM6.5.x as well.
    Keep in mind that your android setup must be installed already at the root of your storage card in order for this app to work correctly (e.g. \Internal Storage\haret.exe or \Storage Card\haret.exe respectively)

    User Guide
    Here's a quick User Guide, showing the interface and what the buttons are for:
    genydualbootug.jpg


    This app is launched by a registry key created in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init], so it launches directly at boot after shell gets initialized.
    Chefs: If u are going to cook this app into your ROM, make sure that this key gets added DURING your customization procedure (and not before!)

    There are 2 checkboxes, enabling automatic boot:
    AutoBoot: enabling this mode will automatically boot the OS of your choice after a 10 second countdown
    > disabling autoboot will remove the countdown completely
    FastBoot: enabling this mode will automatically boot the OS of your choice after a 3 second countdown (requires AutoBoot to be enabled first)

    Now apart from these 2 checkboxes, u have 2 radiobuttons, which allow u to choose which OS gets automatically booted.

    And last but not least, u have the 2 manual launch buttons. Pressing these buttons will directly launch (overriding autoboot) Windows Mobile or Android.

    Registry
    Gen.Y DualBOOT checks for 5 registry keys, which allow some form of customiation. Apart from the last key (StorageBootMode), all keys can be modified utilizing the radio & check buttons in the GUI. All of these keys can be found in:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
    Here's quick list describing what the keys are for
    • "AutoBootEnabled"=dword:1 (1: enable autoboot | 0: disable autoboot)
    • "FastBootEnabled"=dword:0 (1: enable fastboot | 0: disable fastboot)
    • "AutoBootAndroid"=dword:1 (1: boot Android | 0: boot Windows)
    • "StorageBootMode"=dword:0 (1: boot from Storage Card (SDMemory) | 0: boot from Internal Storage (moviNAND))
    • v1.0.6.0 and newer: "AndroidBootFolder"="string" ("": boot from root of storage (e.g. \Storage Card\haret.exe)| "andboot": boot from \Storage Card\Andboot\haret.exe, string can be edited in registry)
    • v1.0.5.0 and older: "AndroidBootFolder"=dword:0 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)

    The example values are the ones that are in the CAB for Internal Storage devices.

    - Slight GUI redesign
    - Config app in WM & Android

    Download
    The source of Gen.Y DualBOOT (and also DualSWITCH, a tool to switch between AT&T and normal Touch Pro keyboards in android) has been released.
    This is for developers only. The source has been compiled in Basic4ppc.
    Gen.Y DualBOOT Source

    Download the attached cabs or simply click the link below to download all resolutions in one zip package

    There are 5 versions available:
    • QVGA, boot from Storage Card (e.g. Vogue, Kaiser,..)
    • WQVGA, boot from Storage Card
    • VGA, boot from Internal Storage (e.g. Diamond)
    • VGA, boot from Storage Card (e.g. Raphael)
    • WVGA, boot from Storage Card (e.g. Blackstone, Topaz, Xperia,..)

    Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)
    Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 VisualKitchen EXT packages for Chefs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)

    This app MUST be installed on your internal memory in order for autoboot to work. (installing on internal storage/storage card will cause the app not to launch on boot)
    Also make sure that all registry entries are correct, since an incorrect/missing registry key can cause errors (v1.0.6.0: make sure the AndroidBootFolder key is a STRING (not dword!)

    For chefs: if u are also cooking in RunCC, cooking this app to the \Windows folder is recommended to save storage space (since the progress image are the same)
    For chefs: u can make Gen.Y DualBOOT start faster by moving editing the following (be aware, this will not work in all roms!). Open mxipupdate_xdandroid-genyboot_100.provxml, and change "Launch62" to "Launch52" in the following line:
    Code: 
    <parm name="Launch62" value="genyboot.exe" datatype="string"/>

    The CAB works for all languages (v1.0.6.0)

    ElCondor has made a nice Android Theme for Gen.Y DualBOOT, you can find it in this thread

    I would like to express my thanks to all of you who have provided me with feedback, bug reports and donations.
    This app wouldn't have been the same without you.

    If u like my work and would like to thank me for the time spent, you can always donate

    When you are running from the Andboot folder on the Storage card, do the following at the Registry location shown on the first page of this thread:

    AndroidBootFolder=andboot


    When you are running from the root of Storage card (without any folders), leave the string blank.


    Hit that Thanks button if this worked for you... :)

    could you try this new attached WVGA cab then? This new cab directly installs it into the windows folder, which should work better for the HKLM\init procedure. Also, i signed the .exe this time with msigner. Let me know if it works.

    * check the new version at the first post

    As a programmer, I am VERY ANGRY with this application.
    How can a application stupid like this? Are you kidding me? hardcode the path? Ask user to change registry just for change the path?

    shame on you.

    Dear Lord, why doesn't anything works as it should, like it used to be???

    I'm also having this problem, and here's what I found:

    1- (of course) I have a working haret.exe on the root of Internal Storage
    2- Installed Gen.Y VGA to the internal memory (NOT the Internal Storage): check registry, entries are there;
    3- run Gen.Y, click Android, it boots Android
    4- After reboot, the dreaded "An error occurred retrieving the registry key" error appears: click cancel, go to the registry, entries are not there!! wth?!!?
    5- manually create entries, reboot, still the same friggin' error: go to the registry, entries are still NOT there!! wtf?!!?

    So there is the friggin' problem: why are the registry entries dissapearing? And YES, i've red almost all of this giant thread. geez..
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I had this problem too.
    Make the registry entry and restart windows to apply it. It seems a side-effect of running haret is that the recent keys are not saved. It's odd, but that was the problem.
