[APP]-FD DroidBoot-Autostart Android!

DroidBoot

This is a small app I made to start Android / Linux at Windows Mobile boot.

Thanks to JMZtaylor and yozgatg for their dual-boots, I just got tired of clicking everytime I started my phone so made this.

I feel we are getting very close to a day to day usable version of Android! I already use it instead of windows mobile since about 6 days ago.

The .cab file installs the app to Program Files/DroidBoot. It also creates a reg entry to autostart the app which launches ClrCad.exe and HaRET.exe at boot if found. If HaRET.exe does not exist on Storage Card/ or in Storage Card/Android the app will exit and Windows Mobile will start as normal.

If you want to use WinMobile. Eject SD card before boot.

WARNING!! May cause Windows Mobile to become inaccessible if installed on a phone with only internal storage!

If it doesnt start and you get an error. you may need the .Net compact framework 3.5

Did you try installing the .net framework?
Did you get an error message?

Finezt · Jul 23, 2010

doesn't work for downloaded the framework still doesn't work

cannonman123 · Jul 23, 2010

The download link doesnt work
can you upload it again?

GavTheStoner · Jul 23, 2010

Reuploaded on zshare.

To the people who say it doesnt work. Can you check in a registry editor if the value got added to init.
You are looking for:
Hkey_Local_Machine/init
And there should be a string value in there which says "Launch72" "Program Files/DroidBoot/Droidboot.exe" if its not there. That could be the problem.

Another idea is that it might not work on non WWE roms. Due to the storage card and or program files being named differently.

Why don't you just use the Energy ROM "Desire v5" from NRGZ its maybe way better than using an application, opinion

Because I made this before he made the ROM!

Then you should hardcode the file to that location and not use %programfiles% for installation of those files in the cab. The language of the rom doesn't mather anymore then.

GavTheStoner · Jul 25, 2010

Thanks for the idea, will implement it asap!

Edit: Part of my code in the app refers to /Storage Card/, when its trying to find haret. Any ideas to get around that?

tbdawg · Jul 27, 2010

Gav check http:--msdn.microsoft.com-en-us-library-aa446567.aspx#spfiles_topic_05 for your Storage Card location solution. Replace "-" with "/"

What about for us users with more than one android build on our sd card?? Is there a way for this application to ask which one we would like to boot??

Good idea nonetheless!!!

Gootah · Jul 28, 2010

Ok..

It booted once, now when I try to reboot I get a message that says I need to unzip a ROOTFS file onto my SDcard. I have never done that before. I cant get it to boot anymore. Any help?

kassew · Jul 28, 2010

i have the same problem. now i installed the rom from beginning and will see what happends. i tell u later.

Edit: I had to Replace the android files in SD card and put it back from where i got them " downloaded ones " now it works again.
