New to this :)

Hi all just bought my first HD2. I'm setting up my custom builds etc. My main ROM im using for every day use is Artemis HD. I've used HSPL4 to flash it to the NAND and I'd like a nice android rom to install to sd for when I feel like using it ;).

But the one I'd like to install I think is the wrong format. Is it set so it's able to be used with your lovely loader? :) its the Froyosense. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950035)

As i understand it, it's an SD build so you wouldn't need a loader to run it (as i say i'm new to this ;) ) but I like the sound of your loader as it seems very accessible from restart to main screen etc.

If it's not setup for your loader can someone tell me what kind of rom I need to look for or a link to a similar rom that works would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance

Sorry to post it here, but I think you are the one to ask. so please bear with me

I have HSPL 2.8 installed.
Installed your mskip_Android_Loader_V6.0_Final.
my Rom is: 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio: 2.06.51.07
on SD Card: SD\IceCream\ ... I had extracted the Android ICECreamTostidroid

when launching ANDROID, I get the bar scrolling, and then a black screen with very very small letters... I had to use a magnifier to read it... it says as best I can read it:
Haret Boot
shutting down hardware
In preloader
psr:60000df
....
...
Jumping to Kernel

and it stays there, I tried keeping it 15 min.. and nothing happens...

please Advice...
p.s. even going to the directory and running CLRCAD and then HARET results the same..

please guide me to a link to what to do....

Regards.

If you have HardSPL 2.08 flashed then I would say the first thing to try is updating your Radio to the latest version which is 2.15.50.14. It is recommended that your Radio should be at least 2.08 so your current Radio doesnt meet that requirement.

Advice
  1. Post in the correct thread - this one isn't it (see my previous post)
  2. Press the thanks button if someone has helped you
  3. Search the forums before posting - an answer to your wifi question is in the HD2 ICS FAQ wiki that I helped setup up

Well, Thanks.. it launched.... yet I failed to connect to Wifi... when I set it to ON
and hit Scan, nothing happens.. any advise...

    There are numerous Android Bootloaders out there right now that will load Android before WindowsMobile boots up (into the screen) but this app is a bit special and has everything that you will ever need all in one ;)

    For starters you can load Android easily once you are already using Windows. It comes with a cool looking icon so you can add it to Sense or Mobile Shell or whatever you use as your day to day interface.

    On installation you can also set your default Operating System (Android or Windows Mobile), then you will be asked for an AutoBoot timeout (3, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds). After a soft reset of your phone, as soon as WindowsMobile boots up you will be prompted to choose what you want to boot into. If you make no selection then your default Operating System will be Auto loaded after the time out.

    You will also be asked on installation to select the folder where your Android files are (no typing needed). This NEW feature means that when developers bring out Android Builds that arent in the standard 'Android' folder you can still auto load it without any problems. If you make no selection or cancel then the default location will be set (Storage Card\Android) :D

    Another NEW feature is a Windows Link (with icon) that will Soft Reset your phone and then load straight into Android without any prompts. This was added by request for people who want to load Android after Windows has been running for a while, but want to reset the phone before loading it.

    Last but by no means least there is a folder in the Start Menu called 'Android Loader' which holds a Manager app where you can change any of the default settings. There are also 2 switches, Fast Mode will load Android as soon as the icon is clicked, Safe Mode will always ask for confirmation when the icon is clicked to avoid accidental loading.

    When it is run the Android loader will first run Clrcad.exe for the sound and then a second later run haret.exe to start Android.

    NOTE: If you want to run a different build that is in a different folder then you can use the Loader Manager utility to change the Android Path. If the new build will be in the same folder then there is no need to reinstall :)

    ChangeLog:
    V6.0 (18th December 2010) -
    Added the final feature missing from this Loader, an AutoBooter with configureable default OS and selection of timeouts. Also if no location is set then a default location is automatically set to help avoid bad installations. Registry entrys have been moved to the HKLM, Software folder and the Loader is fully uninstallable including uninstallation of all registry settings.

    V5.0 (24th September 2010)
    - Added a Loader Manager utility in the Start Menu, Android Loader folder. With this utility you can change any of the options that was asked when installing the Android Loader. Change the Startup Boot Option, Change the Startup Folder where Android is and Change which icons are shown in the Start Menu on the fly without having to reinstall the app.

    Added a switch in the Start Menu, Android Loader folder. By default Android will boot straight away when the icon is clicked (fast mode) but you can now switch to safe mode which will ask a confirmation question before booting Android when you click on the icon.

    V4.1 (10th August 2010)
    - Changed the icon images for a better look and also added detection for my Ubuntu Loader in post#2 so that both auto loaders cant be set at windows startup.

    DONT ASK IN THIS THREAD ABOUT QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH ANDROID. THIS IS TO BE KEPT JUST ABOUT THE ANDROID LOADER.

    --------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------

    Useage:

    1. Make sure you have your desired build of Android copied across to your Storage Card. Go *HERE* for download links.

    2. Make sure to uninstall any previous versions if you are updating.

    3. Using a File Manager, browse to the file on your phone and install the cab to DEVICE Memory.

    4. You will now be asked if you want a prompt everytime you start WindowsMobile to run Android or continue to Windows. This is your Autoboot setting. If you select No you wont get this.

    5. You will now be asked which Android links you want displayed in the Start Menu (Android, Android with Soft Reset or Both).

    6. You will now be asked select the folder where your Android build is copied to. You only have to do this once, it will remember the settings until you uninstall the program.

    NOTE: If your icons dont change in HTC Sense after upgrading the cab then install and run SICC (Sense Icon Cache Clearer) *HERE* and your new icon will be shown after a soft reset.

    [APP] Ubuntu Loader v1.0 for HD2

    This app will load Ubuntu before WindowsMobile boots up (into the screen) but it has more features too
    wink.gif


    For starters you can load Ubuntu easily once you are already using Windows. It comes with a cool looking icon so you can add it to Sense or Mobile Shell or whatever you use as your day to day interface.

    On installation you can also set the Ubuntu Loader to ask you what you want to do as soon as WindowsMobile boots up. If you select 'yes' then everytime Windows boots up you can choose between loading Ubuntu or carrying on into Windows. If my Android loader is detected with the Startup option set then this will be disabled for Ubuntu.

    You will also be asked on installation to select the folder where your Ubuntu files are (no typing needed). This is mainly to get round the problem of different language Roms but its also useful if Ubuntu is put in a different folder

    Another NEW feature is a Windows Link (with icon) that will Soft Reset your phone and then load straight into Ubuntu without any prompts. This is for people who want to load Ubuntu after Windows has been running for a while, but want to reset the phone before loading it.

    DONT ASK IN THIS THREAD ABOUT QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH UBUNTU. THIS IS TO BE KEPT JUST ABOUT THE UBUNTU LOADER.

    Useage:

    1. Make sure you have the Ubuntu files copied to your Storage Card already.

    Ubuntu or continue to Windows. If you select No you wont get this.

    hate to seem stupid but im new to all this how long should the cab take to install mines been going for a good five minutes
    There are no stupid questions only stupid answers :)

    The cab should only take a few seconds to install and then go through a series of questions to set it all up. If thats not happened then try rebooting your phone, run the cab straight away and make sure you install to device memory.

    I read the same thing, but I am not sure what substance there is to it.

    Needless to say both bootloader programs prompt you to choose at the start after powering on the device so I would tend to beleive you need to.

    Simple answer to this dilema though is to run the shortcut as soon as Windows loads, infact I've read some people turn off HTC Sense so it loads up quicker when starting and then select to load Android... not tried myself, but sounds like a reasonable idea!
    No need to turn off HTC Sense it doesnt affect the running of Android in any way :)
