Hi all,

I installed Gen Y and FRX06. When I boot completely into windows 6.5 and then run haret, everything works fine. Using Gen Y, however, produces an error when i try to enable wifi in android.

Sprint TP 2 running NRG Rom (6.5)
Android FRX06 release

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot phone
2. Select "android" from Gen Y boot screen
3. Attempt to enable wifi

This causes "Error" to appear under Wifi in the settings screen.

Troubleshooting:
- installed Gen Y to internal memory
- tried SD card as well
- Enable wifi in Windows 6.5 (then reboot)
- Disabled wifi in Windows 6.5

It seems to me that there is some wifi initialization that is not happening when Gen Y runs, but does happen if I let Win 6.5 to finish loading - since wifi does work if i manually run haret from win.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

How did you ever fix this problem? Is there a work around or did you just uninstall Gen Y?
Like you, WiFi works great if I load Hariet, however no WiFi if FRX06 loaded using Gen Y DuelBoot.:(

I solved this by unchecking autoboot, waiting 30 seconds, and then selecting Android. Its worked every time. I've heard that the wifi drivers need to load in windows mobile before they will work in Android.

The longer you wait, the more windows mobile loads in the background.

Problem

Hi,
I have a problem. I have OmniaPro (B7610) and I installed Android Froyo
(from here o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php)

The Android itself is installed on an ext2 partition on the SD card but the HARET.EXE that I use to run Android is in the root of My storage. This works manually.

But when I try booting android with Gen.Y it cant do it.
I used the WVGA Storage card version and then changed the registry to boot from My storage.
It shows me that Android is available (which it did not before the registry change) but it just pops some error and cant boot.

What else does this program do other than executing the HARET.EXE??? and why does it not work for me when manual execution of HARET.EXE works ???

Or is there any way how to "repair" it?

Thank for any help :)

An error occured on sub __main_androidexistcheck

Hello all,

This is my configuration:
- Downloaded WVGA version
- Haret.exe is in folder 'My Storage' (=internal storage).

regedit:
AndroidBootFolder =
AutoBootAndroid = 0
AutoBootEnabled = 1
FastBootEnabled = 0
StorageBootMode = 0

Still I get an error : "An error occured on sub __main_androidexistcheck - An error occured retrieving the registry key"

When I change StorageBootMode to 1 the message disappear, but then it sais "Android is missing".

How to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Gr,
Nick

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

I just download Gen Y dualboot on my internal memory on Sprint TP2. I booted xdroid. If I want to change to Winmo than do I need to power down and power backup or I can run gen Y dualboot cab to pickup option again? Cab file will be installed not executed the file. Please provide your feedback. Thanks.

    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.

    - Complete boot processes control
    - 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

    Can someone explain how to fix the "Android is missing" error in simple terms? I am having this problem on my TP and Diamond, too.
    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... :)

    Yes, I can run it manually.

    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..
    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.
