Did I get it right, with this app I am able to choose between android and windows mobile?

And Android works "perfect" on windows mobile devices? I have seen a video showing android on blackstone, and not all of the functions were usable?

Does this works better, now?

If it turns out to be right, this would be awesome :-D

But I will need a detailed plan to get it running on my device :-D

No, this app doesnt help you run andorid any smoother. It helps you boot your device directly to android (haret.exe) without having to go trough WM first.

Is it for the above bold underlined that in the "Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.03 VisualKitchen EXT packages for Chefs" the app.reg contains this value?



It would be



or is it a mistyping?

Just a heads up for guys having problems getting this to run on devices with HaRET installed on their internal storage ie MDA Compact IV (DIAM 200) you will need to change the registry value for "StorageBootMode" Dword=0 to 1, especially if you are using a cooked non stock ROM

Still not booting from SD card correctly

Love the app, except I had to move my Haret, Intrid, Zimage & Default text to the root of my SD card for it to work. It will not see Android unless I do that.

did you try enabling the following registry key? (boot from \Android\ folder)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
"AndroidBootFolder"=dword:1 (1: boot from \Android\ folder on storage (e.g. \Storage Card\Android\haret.exe)| 0: boot from root of storage)

set it to dword:1 to boot from the \Android\ folder

Thanks! That did it! I guess I missed the new key! Great work, this was the last piece I needed to make my device complete. I have a Vogue with NFSFAN WM 6.5 ROM / Myn's Warm Donut - DarkStar Theme and I just added the GPS fix :) Thanks Again!

Android Config App

If you'd write the settings to a flat file Android can reach, i could make a config app for Android if you need it.

Thanks for this, just what I've been waiting for:)

Not Working!

Can't get it to work at all on my att tilt2! I downloaded the latest 1.25.10 release, made a root folder of Android in my sd card, extracted all there, found the 2 startup files for rhodium, copied them into the Android root folder, ran Haret, it vibrates twice, goes to the linux stuff, i left it running in linux while i took a 2hr nap! Woke up and still saw it running, not frozen but running! Cursor blinking, everything. WTF is up with that? So i soft reset, tried like 5 more times, same effect each time! How the hell you get this to work? I just want to see what this android buzz is all about! Thanks!

Hey there,

This is a pretty good idea...for a non-invasive dual-boot...I like.

I did have to remake the images so they worked with the Omnia's screen which has a a WQVGA screen (240x400)...I will attach those pictures for anyone else that wants them.

Now I just need to figure out why I can't get it to find android...if storage boot mode is set to internal I get...
"An error occured on sub __main_androidexistcheck.

An error occurred retrieving the registry key"

However if I set it to the storage card it just disables android selection...so its not erroring out. I don't think it will be able to read the storage card because it is formatted to ext3...when I am in ubuntu I will try putting it on the card and we shall see.

Anyways here are pictures for omnia users...just overwrite the ones in \Program Files\Gen.Y\DualBOOT\

How long is the first boot to Android supposed to take? I get the white text scrolling for a little while then it pauses for a bit then starts up again and keeps repeating that cycle. Its been doing it for over 5 mins now and still hasn't booted to Android. Is there something I should look for in the text scrolling to make sure its working fine and no errors are happening?

Btw I am using dotcompt's Deepshining v12 ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571892

    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

    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.
