Hi yozgatg From your first post:
[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))
- "AndroidBootFolder"=dword:0 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)
Reefer's new Build for Rhodium uses a different folder path: \Storage Card\andboot\haret.exe
Can you consider adding a key or modifying one of the above for us to be able to input a full path instead of 0/1?

While we are waiting for Yozgatg, I have a workaround :
Create an "Android" folder as before and copy just the following files from "andboot". You should be able to use Yozgatg's Dual boot like before:
(files to copy)
1) haret.exe
2) Startup.txt
3) zImage
4) initrd.gz
i think you are a great man and dual-boots is a such good, fantasy thing. i've downloaded the 1.05 GEN-Y and installed the android successfully. but a big problem, the phone is alwayz silent whatever play music or dialed a call (answer either)!! How to deal with this ?
This is exactly what I wanted to ask for as well. It would make it a lot easier and more flexible.
And thanks for the great work you did with this tool. Really makes the usage of Android a lot easier.
good idea, think i will incorporate this into the next release
i haven't really done anything to the dualboot app since v1.0.5.0, so a new update might be in order
most important thing is trying to get a 3D mode enabled so the app launches a small 3D program like hologram and then boots into android to enabled hardware 3D acceleration
anyway, i'm busy with my Gen.Y ROM series atm, once the D2/D2X/TP2/TP2X (that's a handful) are done, i'm going to get back into the labs and work out a new version of PX-D/PX-TP with updated XDANDROID and the debut of dualboot v1.1.0.0 (with 3D mode and flexible android boot folder)

Thank you, but this is not a real solution to me (and many others)...
There are a few reasons not to use a folder named 'Android' and since 'anboot' has become the new standard it would be great if yozgatg could create another regkey with the name of the folder (as suggested).
I think this might take a while, cause yozgatg is working miracles at the moment with his Gen.Y ROMs
As I mentioned, this is just a temporary workaround (for me), that I was sharing. Can't live without "Dual Boot" now..
The 4 files are necessary for haret to get Android booting correctly, from the new "andboot" location. After the boot, everything reverts to and continues from "andboot"
i'll have a test version for Rhodium users up this evening (v1.0.6.0) with flexible android boot locations, so you just enter a string into the registry to tell it where to boot from
is this question already asked or?
is or is there going to be also an android version of this app?
if there is. what do i have to do on my android phone to use it?
i see cab files so my thinking is windows mobile phones yet?
This is not a problem of the dualboot app!
In the XDANdroid threads you can find the solution to this problem in the faqs/tips!

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: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.
I had this problem too.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..
