Does it make any difference? I'm using TAEL on my ATT Fuze right now, but it's giving me real problems (actually, it's unusable at the moment. I'm 100% on android- until my battery runs out...) Should I go back to a WinMo 6.1 build? Which one do you use?

Several people have done fairly extensive testing... and all we've found that WinMo does is initialize some hardware for Android - so any build of WinMo is fine. It really does not have any relation to Android at all.
With that said, if you want an easy way to go straight to Android, search for Gen.Y. That method is a sort of dual-boot of Android and WinMo (not a true Android ROM keep in mind.)
Thank you!
That's great- I'll just flash something simple and keep android up (love it BTW!). Does this mean that once android is running, WinMo is completely shut off? Does it make any difference if I have WinMo applications running before I start android?
BTW- Thanks!

Basically, yes. Like I said, the only thing WinMo does is initialize hardware - for example, early on we had to make a phone call in WinMo before booting Android to get the mic to work. Devs fixed that issue. Same with hw3d, but they sorted that out as well. I think the only thing left is the display itself (I could be wrong) but there isn't any special app you need to run to initialize that.
I use that lightNHB winmo that is posted on the first page of the android release post. Seems to work good... and gets into Android boot pretty quickly
i'm using TAEL too, but it's quite stable, oh i'v instaled [prj][XDANDROID][2.2][AOSP][29.7.10] but i don't use lightNHB, i simply execute haret.exe on explorer
LightNBH2
No guys, you are all wrong. There's one ROM I'm on now, which automatically boots Linux and as well is very quick to boot (for those people who don't want to use WinMo at all)
It also lets you to use your device as the internal storage to (update/edit Android builds) I find this ROM the best to use with Android. It loads as quickly as possible and auto runs Linux which is surely the best decision so far. Here's the link.

I'm so glad you feel our opinions are wrong...
I could easily say you are the wrong one, because I don't want to run a ROM that only boots Android...

Haha, that and I said I use LightNHB and works good, and that was also wrong
Come on now people, is this needed really??
I think to paraphrase the thread, try out some ROMs and see how you get on.
Really thats it.
Agreed; thread closed.
I own an HD2 and loved the windows 6.5 format, now im looking at the incredible due to a change in service provider and wonder if I could put a windows rom on the incredible even though its running android. I know on the HD2 which ran windows, you could put an android rom so im wondering if it works the other way around. I have tried searching the forums and have yet to find anything that can give me a definite answer if i can or cant.
thanks in advance guys
As far as I know it has not been done on any android phone to date...
Correct me if I'm wrong...

wtf? Them are fightin words!
This will probably never happen.
Android is open source. So a conversion is more likely to move towards open source than a proprietary OS.
What you want may not be impossible, I think the community to drive towards proprietary OSes will be too small for success.
It'd probably never work right anyway... Even if you could find an image of WinMo compiled for the processor, driver issues would be everywhere. It's very unlikely that these would be something which could be corrected.

I agree that it hasn't been done because Android is so much better, but there are things I miss from Windows that just worked better. Mainly connecting to my VPN and using remote desktop. It just worked so flawlessly on Windows (and why shouldn't it, its the same company I know) and Android is being difficult with it. Plus there aren't any remote desktop programs that are free that is as good as the one that came stock on the windows phone.

You went to a dealer and they put Android on your TP2?!?! Wow, that must be a first!! Personally, I would recommend that you install a custom WinMo ROM, like the Energy ROM. When you'll have a functional TP2, you might want to try to use Froyo or Gingerbread with XDAndroid to see if it works great for you.
it is not the main os need to boot in windows mobile first then i need to start in something called haret. it wil boot a linux like os called android

As far as I know, and I may be wrong so others will correct if so, A TP2 is not supposed to work out of the box with Android. The whole XDAndroid project is running to that Android can be tweaked to run efficiently on other "non-Android" cellphones. As for haret, it's the program that start the Linux booting sequence so that XDAndroid can boot on the phone.
As I told you, if you want a working TP2 as fast as possible, you should think about installing a custom WinMo ROM. Then, you could look to find what you're looking for, a way to install Android natively on your TP2.
EDIT: I misread you last post, so I'm not sure you want to run Android as your main OS, but still, you should look to install a custom WinMo ROM of your TP2. I personally use Energy Rom with MaxSense and I really like it. I even overclocked my phone to 748 mhz with WiMoSpeed and it works great.

U can use Gen.Y Dualboot for autobooting to ur preferred OS. I did Triboot w Rhobuntu on it too, fun.
There's another one but can't rem the name at the moment.

Wow. Never go to that phone dealer again. Android on the TP2 is NOT stable yet. He stuck you with something that was destined to break.
That said, Android is MUCH more stable lately, so if you want to reinstall Android yourself visit the Rhodium Android Development forum, or visit http://xdandroid.com.
And MMS finally works.
I have been running Froyo FRX06 on my TP2 (RHOD500) for almost two weeks now (Verizon global phone, using CDMA only with SIM card removed). The build itself has actually been very good I think. Only one SoD so far. It has rebooted on me a few times (notably when I was in an area with no service and a couple times when using navigation), but other wise has been great! With moderate usage I can easily go 17 hours between charges (includes using navigation, FB, etc). The only things that don't work are BT, the 3.5 jack (wouldn't use anyways), and MMS (but I believe there is a fix for this now as noted above). I am also overclocking (710400 khz) and so far so good (will probably bump it up some more shortly). I have not even had to switch back to WinMo once since I made the switch.
Basically, I recommend at least trying it out
A phone dealer charging for something obtainable from this site for free? LOL.
I would only recommended android on SD at the moment so you can at least use the phone
Check the link in my sig. (android on SD) to get setup.
Get that all set up with a new winmo rom and youd be all good to go, im using android as my primary. and windows only to start android.
only thing not working for my on android is Bluetooth, same for all users with our phone. There should be an update coming soon to fix this though...
btw, post all android related threads in the android section so you can get better help faster.

Yes i know there are ubuntu forums just bare with me please.
So i just got a decent spec computer and saw that you could easily dual boot ubuntu and windows 7 via Wubi. I have a laptop and apprently too many drives and wubi fails. So went and made a usb bootable and it works goes the to proper boot screen and i choose to install ubuntu but it boots to a black screen. Ive searched for a solution and found way to many. Also i didnt quite understand them all to well and have seen that some of them dont work. My laptop specs are
Hp Pavillion dv6z-c600 Quad Edition
AMD A8 3550-mx with Radeon HD discrete graphics.
6GB of RAM
Windows 7 64-bit.
Ive read there is a problem with radeon drivers especially those with discrete class graphics. And there is a solution but it turns the resolution down and it looks terrible. I hope someone smart enough can help me out and possibly give me a visual fix not just a list of instructions.
Or if you can suggest a different flavor of linux that works for laptops and radeon graphic drivers.

The issue with the vitural box is that they are alot slower than loading the os on my laptop. I was planning on deving on the Linux OS, with the help of earthbound. Hes been helping me through all my trouble 100% like he wants me to have linux more than i do . Graphics divers are a pain the sucky part is i can hear it boot and everything just no display . PITA

talks about:
The USB Boot Loader, of course, booted to a Black Screen. So, it was pretty clear that I needed to install from the "Alternate" ISO with a plain text interface. Install was a breeze, but when it came time to booting, boom: black screen.
Good luck with this

Hi all.
I just created this thread to see discuss along with others the possibility of getting Ubuntu running in the Ouya based on the fact that there is already a port to do so for the Asus TF700 Infinity which has the virtually the same hardware.
More information about what has been done for the Asus TF700:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014759
Would it be possible to use the work already done to get this port ready?.
I am not a gamer so I am looking forward to use an Ouya as a low power / low consumption multipourpose server.
Opinions???.
Pros./cons.???
Work ahead???
Best regards.

Hi all.
Someone has already been able to run Debian in an Ouya.
The instructions allows you to create an USB stick that will be Debian functional after Fastboot-ing it.
The installation is buggy, but is works quite well.
I guess is the first step to have Debian in the Ouya.
I tested the procedure and works. :laugh:
I cannot paste external links yet because I'm too new in xda-devs site, so if some moderator/administrator wants to fix it, please do so. I guess it a quite important notice.

I think you can run native Ubuntu on the Ouya as the hardware is pretty close to the Nexus 7 8GB. I have started to look at this a little myself figuring i would try to load the Nexus 7 build onto the Ouya to see what happened.
I personally would like to see an Openelec release for the Ouya..
Instructions for Ubuntu are in the Nexus 7 XDA forum.

Hi, thanks for the tip.
I would like to see that too...
There is another intermediate point that would be to have some light Ubuntu (xubuntu/lubuntu) and install the xbmc/vdpau support and that would do the trick. In fact would be more flaxible from my point of view than having Openelec.
I do run Xubuntu+XBMC for AMD Fusion and works pretty well and is not that close than Openelec.
What do you think?.
Best regards.
