i hav found a fix to the msn..... b4 i was not able to run msn messnger on my i780... but after i tiered a program from pocketpt.net... it just started to work!!
wat u need it RealVGAi780... and change the dpi to 96... n it will start to work... well thats how mine started to work
if u go on thier website...
hxxp://www.pocketpt.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=21637
and its the 1st app...
click on RealVGAi780.zip and extract the files to ur memory card n install them both... open the program n choose 96dpi... n ur sorted
I have tried to find some things on how to, tutorials and so on but i cant find anything that has given me success, some of my must have apps are installed from the computer, and id want to see if i can just make them into a cab instead and just have them on the memory card for comfort and when flashing on the go from sd it is annoying not being able to have the "must have" app.
any help would be deeply appreciated and i would be most grateful.
if this is done in ten sec to a minute i added one of the desktop installers if some one would be so very kind to help me
http://www.e-sword.net/pocketpc/files/ppc2005setup301.exe
Thank you very much.
ps: another noob question, the program named ppc2005setup301 it runs in vga, and since most rom are qvga if i understand it right the program buttons are shrinked? it is usable but you got to be exakt with the stylys to hit them, kinda hard on the bus or subway if anyone could help me with that one id kiss ya!
Peace and a lot of love to you all!
Can you not just extract the cab using win rar?
Easiest way is to run the installer with your phone disconnected. Then go into the microsoft active sync folder in program files and you should be able to find the cab in a folder in there. I've done this several times to set up a back up folder on my sd card (just in case)
It is not quite self-explaining how to install Android on our Windows Mobile devices. Therefore I took some time and wrote down all the steps for people who are new to "Android".
More testers -> more experience -> more knowledge -> faster/better development.
I hope this way the forum is kept clean(er) from all kinds of questioned that have already been answered many times.

to download the ReadMe click the [Android Repository] button in my signature.
It goes to a rapidshare page with 3 files, and when I click on the filename Android_README.TXT

ok thanks. i fixed it (rs bug when renaming files ^^)
How would i partition a 1GB SD Card? ie what sizes etc are the last 3 same but the unallocated is just whats left over?
I want to use a spare card rather then the one that came with my HD.

normally just calculate how i wrote in the readme:
whole space -768 (3* 256) and then the other 3 x 256
but in ur case i would make the swap smaller (i think its not even used at all) and the fat32 bigger; for instance:
fat32 - 384 MB
ext2 - 256 MB
ext2 - 256 MB
swap - 128 MB (rest)
To be honest the bit I find most confusing is all the different versions!
i didnt create any partitions on my card, and android works as good as it does on any, mind you i have not updated the files fo0r a month so alot might have changed
ReadMe updated!
updated a bit...

i agree...
i've been looking these posts here for a couple of days now and i still don't know how to do it....
especially the DualBoot thing...
is it possible to make a little bigger how-to manual?
or at least explain the versioning and the needed thing a little more?
the readme is about 50 times longer than anything else u will find about installing android anywhere else
the different versions are just like in windows mobile, theres not much to explain, its rather up to ur personal preference. doesnt take as long as flashing a wm rom, so its easy to try out more versions, especially with more sd cards.
dual boot is easy:
1. install the cab
2. open the dual boot program and make all your settings, for example: auto boot android (click on the checkbox/ratio under android logo), check auto boot checkbox and check fast boot (means 3 instead of 10 secs).
3. restart your device, DONT LAUNCH HARET because that will destroy all the dualboot settings. if you restart/shutdown the device normally, the settings will be stored and android will automatically booted at next startup (or whatever you set before)
if you have android autoboot and u want to boot wm, just QUICKLY press the wm LOGO when the dual boot screen appears.
i might include this in the readme soon, just dont have the time right now unfortunally

Thanks for the dualboot help... i'll try that...
the first problem I have encountered yesterday when trying to put Android was SD card formating...
i downloaded the program you said and followed the instructions oh how-to and was not able to do it under Windows 7 with my 16GB SD card... does it even work for Windows 7??? is there another program I can try to do it with???
I have also dualboot on my PC with the Kubuntu being the second OS, but I'm not using it as much as Windows 7... I can try with it if you think it will work.. but first I have to download the 15GB of data from my SD card to my PC, again
I would like to put the Espresso build cause I saw that it has everything working beside the GPRS and camera...
can you tell me what should I download for my Blackstone so it works properly???
thanks alot...

like the readme says: partitioning is only needed for partitined builds, which means that android uses several partitions to store different kinds of data, for - hopefully - more speed. only glossy uses partitions, espresso doesnt.
for glossy, u can also use ubuntu (download parted magic or something similar) to create partitions.
for espresso, u just need to copy the stuff onto ur sdcard.
but thats all in the readme... i dont have time to explain in detail coz i need to study a whole ****in lot at the moment +.+

well, some details about what version you are using would be helpful. however, this is not the right channel to ask this question. i think this question has already been asked several times in other threads. try search function or read the thread for ur version, its probably a version-issue or only for your country/provider

**Do not do the PPCGeeks method.**
Best flashing process: Task 29, flash radio, Task 29, flash ROM, hard-reset.
Download the Task 29 in XDA's Rhodium ROM Development forum. Flash Task 29 like a regular ROM. Flash your radio like you normally do. Repeat Task 29. Flash ROM like you normally do. When the ROM finishes loading, hard-reset.
**The XDA_UC in EnergyROMs is specially customized for the EnergyROM series. It is not like other UCs (that's why you can't use the method in PPCGeeks).
To use XDA_UC to install cabs: (EnergyROM-specific UC)
1. Create a new folder in your Storage Card.
2. Name the folder "XDA_UC" (without the quotation marks).
3. Copy and Paste the cabs you want into the XDA_UC folder.
4. **If the cab asks you to agree to something or launch the program while/after installing, don't put it there!**
5. If you have cabs mentioned in #4, you have to make a new [sub-]folder in XDA_UC. Name this folder "SD" (without the quotation marks).
6. In the directory "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD" is where you put those cabs mentioned in #4.
7. You are now finished setting up XDA_UC to install cabs to your EnergyROM.
FYI: You do not have to use XDA_UC. If you don't use XDA_UC, you can just skip it when the ROM loads. Also, Task 29 is not mandatory. It is just recommended.
I hope I helped you. If I didn't, maybe you could post step-by-step what you're doing so it's easier for everyone to understand what you are doing.
Sorry I couldn't make a video. I don't have time to film/edit, so I had to make a mini-guide. Just reply if you need clarifications.
thank you for you time and Great Response. Thanks !

Good i didnt want too i just dont like them. they bug me out.

Is the old RHODIMG.nbh (the Firestorm) still in the SD-card? If it is, you need to delete it before you put the new RHODIMG.nbh (EnergyROM) in it.
Did you try flashing using USB?
1. Put your phone in Bootloader (Tri-color screen)
2. Connect your phone using USB to your PC.
3. On your PC, open the EnergyROM folder -- if the .nbh is not there, put it back. Or you can extract the .7z file again.
4. In the EnergyROM folder, you should see a .exe and a .nbh.
5. Launch the .exe.
6. Follow the prompts to flash the ROM.
7. When you press "update," your ROM will start flashing.
***Here is a Pictorial-tutorial so you can see screenshots of what you should be doing.***
I usually flash using USB, so I don't know why it's doing that when you flash using the SD-card.
You don't need XDA_UC. Where did you see where it says you need it? When the phone is done booting up after the flash, XDA_UC will pop up, but just press "NO" and it will leave you alone!
Task 29 is like flashing a blank ROM -- your phone will be stuck in the boot screen, so you need to flash another ROM on it. You don't need to do it but is highly recommended because it resets some drivers.
Wham,bam,thank you ma'am !!!!
i wont kiss you on the lips but ill shake your hand !
Thanks i love pictures if u click them fast looks like a vid.

You're welcome!
NRG is updating his ROMs right now. He is starting to use build 23121 (the 231xx builds are currently the fastest WM6.5.x builds). You could check those out. The new ROMs are pretty fast on my HD2 right now, but when I use my TP2, I like the speed of Agent_47's Valkyrie ROMs.
P.S. I'm a guy, so...yeah just wanted to clear that up!
yeah im xcited to try more Roms
but when I use my TP2, I like the speed of Agent_47's Valkyrie ROMs.

First of all you have to decide on which version you use. If you wanna use Xdandroid-method then go the way escoda recommended you.
If you wanna try something else then try my builds (requires partitioning)

Hi vatoloco, can you tell me how partitioning diamond on windows?
As far as i know you can't, but you can use Gparted, a freeware linux app.
If you haven't got linux, you can just download a live gparted cd and boot directly from this one, without changing your OS at all

OK...New to this and would love to learn and understand how to mod my phones...I have an LG eve, Iphone 3g and a HTC touch diamond and have figured out how to jailbreak the iphone...Now I know the LG eve is hopeless as far as upgrades and I am trying to figure out how to install Android on my Diamond...So far I have copied the files to a folder...
The 2 root access files are copied to my internal storage however i am not sure what to do about the Galaxy s build....Do I copy the whole folder or do I copy everything but the start up config file? I am a bit confused...Please help...Oh and will I still have Windows in the phone or does this take it out? Oh and if I have issues can I revert back to windows? Sorry for all the newbie questions...I have searched and read for like a month now and it seems so complicated...This is the first thread that seems simple enough...Please help me...Thanks so much...
Ok so I copied the files and am not sure where to find the STARTUP.TXT files..? I found 2 files in the Galaxy folder in the start up config however one of them is Black start up and other is called Diam start up ? with one do I copy? Or am I am the wrong path? I also opened the Haret.exe file on the phone and get the error:
cannot open script file/internal...etc...Please help...
Thanks
Andy
please help? I have tried everything I can think of and have been reading for like 8 hours now and still can't seem to get it to work...I download the above files and then copied the startup.txt in the other partition and when i click on the Haret.exe...nothing happens...Tried it like 20 times...When you run file wizard starts it automatically has the install.exe or something like that...should I replace it with something else? please help...I am having a hard time explaining this so if you need more info please let me know...thanks
I tried to use Android on diamond by using sometime like Eclair but unstable and slow. It takes me almost 5 minutes to boot up and gives me a crash when I use it for minutes.
Is there any way to remove the windows and just use Android instead? Thanks.
Hi, I also had issues installing Android. First I thought it was too nasty.
Finally, by mixing many instructions I got it.
I would say, for [Xd]Android with an EXT2 partition (from Linux):
1/
Start Ubuntu from a bootable CD (No need to install it) and follow the steps from Vatoloco (Thx for this video) here:
Video1
When done you can move back to windows. You should take some notes from the video to do the same.
2/
- Then you can take the Neopeek Android Installer V1.1, found on Neopeek's website:
CyanogenMod6 - Port
+extract on your pc
- Also download the Android build (for example the one here from Neopeek) called "CM6 RC3 (Nightlie Build 17-08-2010)" on the same page.
- And the "HARET-PaketV1.5" +extract on your pc
3/
- Rename the Android build you just downloaded as "androidinstall.tar.gz"
- Then copy "npkinstall" folder to your internal storage (the fat32 partition)
- In your "internal storage\npkinstall" folder, copy the android build "androidinstall.tar.gz"
- In your "internal storage\" (root) copy what is contained in "Haret-PaketV1.5"
- Copy the "startup.txt" file from your own device (found here: "internal storage\Startups" to the root : "Internal storage\"
===== You're done ====
4/ The only step remaining is to run the 2 programs:
- "Internal storage\npkinstall\install.exe"
(It doesn't take too long, if you read what is written (and readable ), you can see if it worked)
Your device will restart at the end of the installation.
- Then Run the last program:
"Internal Storage\haret.exe"
It takes longer. When Android starts it seems to be bugged but finally work if you are patient. Next restart will be a lot better.
=====================
On my side, I used Android only a few hours as it did not meet my expectations.
It works perfectly and is smooth enough. But I will perhaps use Android when we won't need to have windows also installed.
Hope it helps! I just collected some infos and put that in 1 thread.

hi
I use this one now for a 5 or 6 days without going back to WinMO and it still works perfect. only thing is that you have to charge twice or more a daybecause you cant see the correct battery state. last time i checked the uptime without charging was around the 8 hours. but i didnt know how long it lasted after that.
you can download it from this page
|prj||XDANDROID||2.2||AOSP||19.8.10|SYSTEM-UPDATE||
with the latest kernel initrd and rootfs
you can download these from here
xdandroid.com.
also check the above page often because it will be continues updated
They only thing that isn't working is the Camera/Video function.
Have fun with it
