Hope this helps the novice

I'm a little bit of a novice when it comes to reg edit so found the instructions at the begining to be a bit hard after pulling my hair out for over an hour i managed to work it out

i'm booting from Storage Card\Andboot\haret.exe

you will need a regeditor once thats up and running follow the path

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]

once there edit the string by double clicking androidbootfolder write in the Value Data andboot and thats it no "" () etc just

andboot


Hope this help the novice like me out there enjoying android on wm6

hi, I am so glad to find a program like this, I`m going to download and test, but first I want to be sure, if I factory reset my phone, this boot loader will be gone. right?

It would but that would be overkill really. Its just like any other app that runs on startup, just removing it should do the job.

Getting issues with 1.04 WVGA

On startup I get an error message saying:

Window title: Basic4ppc
An error occurred on sub __main_app_start.
An error occurred retrieving the registry key. Continue?
Yes/No

If I click yes and then tell it to load Windows, it works fine.
If I click yes and try to load Android, I get another error message:

Window title: Basic4ppc
An error occurred on sub __androidexistcheck.
An error occurred retrieving the registry key. Continue?
Yes/No

From there I get no further. Android definately runs, and HaRET is on the root of my storage card...

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.

Idd, that was the friggin problem!! Thank you so much meltwater, I was really going nuts about the dissapearing reg entries!! And I bet almost everyone having this problem is also caused by this wm bug. Why this isn't in a FAQ somewhere is beyond my comprehension.

Again, thanks a lot :D

great job on this feature guys.
took me 2 hours to figure out how to work it (going through the entire thread)
instead of putting "andboot" in the registry string for androidbootfolder i kept thinking i was suppose to put the location of it (/storage card/andboot/haret.exe)

finally figured it out and it works well. just wished it was faster, but good enough :)

Wifi broken when using Gen Y

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!

Installed on Touch Pro2(RHOD210), working fine.

I wanted to know how can I make the default boot android+fast boot, instead of choosing it every time(aka - using android "exclusively").

I tried unpacking the .CAB, altering the registry keys changes in the _setup and repack the .cab but windows couldn't install my .CAB.

Do I need to get some Windows Mobile Registry Editor software and hack it after I installed the original version? or is there another, simpler way?

Regedit

Hi,

My Android is installed on a SD card folder, (\Androids\TP2Ref\). And I saved the Gen. Y DualBoot cab to the same folder. After I installed the cab file, power off and reboot. It is rebooting to Window mobile, so I think I need to do something with the regedit entry. Can someone please show me how to do this? And do I not need some software to access the Registry? I just have the phone about a week ago. I would appreciate some help.
Thanks!

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.

    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.

    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
    11avbbm.jpg


    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.
