Lots of you are getting the wrong idea out of this app, THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON XDANDROID, meaning touch pro,diamond,blackstone/topaz/rodhium(when wvga version is done) vougue,elfin,tornado omap850 devices(if its gets made for qvga), its not for the general windows mobile devices e.g acer,lg,omnia etc this wont magicly spawn an android port on your phone, read carefully before posting for god sake....

Thank you

If this makes its way to the Rhodium, I will be a happy camper.
Either way, this is amazing.

I really hope to see this working with the HD2. Now that even Nexus One is out, Android booting off a Snapdragon is pretty much possible. And it does make sense making this compatible with Qualcomm processors seeing all future WinMo devices going to be based on it.

God job nonetheless! :D Best of luck for WVGAs :)

1.This Amazing DualBOOT runs in any WM 6.1 & 6.5 Device or just in some models?
2.Can Run in My HTC X7510 WM 6.1 using VGA Landscape screen orientation?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

1) any device will do, as long as there's an android distro available for your device (u need to install android by yourself first)

2) VGA landscape will not work atm, but i'll look into it later on ;)

Sorry to be a noob.

Is there a version of Android for the Omnia i910?
I tried searching but came up blank. Also... if so, I thought that downloading the android OS would replace the WM OS. Is this true, or does it just overlap WM, and this app makes it possible to run either?

I know this app isn't WQVGA. I hope it becomes WQVGA.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Well don't know about the Omnia, but on the Diamond for example, u can download and setup XDANDROID on your Internal Storage (4GB) while having Windows installed on the Internal Memory. Gen.Y DualBOOT then takes care of the booting. Don't know if this is also possible on WQVGA devices, but if so, a WQVGA version will also be available

you are absolutely right, this is only a bootlauncher, not an android port
anyway, i'll try to get the WVGA version done by this evening, so both VGA & WVGA will launch at the same time.
The VGA version is ready, working great in the PX-D rom, now all i need to do is cab it up, test the cab version and it's good to go :)

ps by evening i mean somewhere about (10-11 PM, GMT+1) so don't start posting stuff like "where is it" etc. when the download is not yet available.

sure, that's why I have included all the extra info for the chefs

alright, got some good news, CAB version installed on the Gen.Y D2 R5.3 rom, works perfectly :)
also, WVGA will most likely also be released today, since it doesn't require much adjustment. So 3 versions will be released today:
  • VGA - Internal Storage
  • VGA - Storage Card
  • WVGA - Storage Card

also i got a question about theming, all the images are loaded externally (jpg & bmp files), so theming will be a piece-of-cake for anyone who can work with photoshop, you do need to make sure that the height x width stays the same. Also, if u are going to theme it, please leave the Gen.Y DualBOOT logo at the top, u are allowed to theme the rest :)

Can this cab work on other brand's device just like Acer neotouch?
Click to expand...

This will only work if there is an Android distro available for your device, and is launched using haret from your Internal Storage / Storage Card.

Anyhoo, suprise suprise, the CABs are up, even a QVGA version is up, should work properly. :) Also, installation to internal memory is required!

Hopefully everything should work perfectly, but this is v1.0, so if there are any problems etc., let me know.

    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.

    Planned features
    - Complete boot processes control
    - Slight GUI redesign
    - Config app in WM & Android

    Changelog

    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.

    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.
