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.

Best way I recommend that you run custom wimo.

i wil try a costum wimobile. i wil let you guys know if i find any problems with it

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.

Booting WM from Micro SD Card. Is it possible?

Hey guys,
First ever post, sorry if its in the wrong forum.
I got my HTC Rhodium back in november. And... well... DAMN! Why didnt i get it sooner lol.
Then i found the XDA Developers site. And ive been coming back everyday since.
Well done and huge thank you's to everyone that contributes here. Its made my phone experience way way better.
Anyhoo,
Im constantly tinkering, tweaking and flashing ROM's.
The only downside is i have to set the device up just the way i like it each time i flash a new ROM.
But even then i may not like something about the ROM.
If so, i flash my fave ROM back on. And have to set it up again.
Now i was thinking.
Is it possible to boot up a Windows Mobile ROM from a Micro SD Card?
Kinda like the way haret.exe works to boot Android. That way i could boot a new ROM and play around with it to my hearts content, knowing i could soft reset back into my usual ROM (Touch X "SENSE 2.0B X-TREME")
Now, i know nothing of ROM Cooking or backend coding.
But i am quite tech savvy. So dont hold back on explaining things in your comments.
Thanks alot everyone,

Hi welcome to the forum, this is not an exact answer to your problem but still is a solution atleast. Try the following application called Sashimi:
[URL="http://www.winmo-experts.com/index.php"]http://www.winmo-experts.com/index.php[/URL]
It is an automated installer which when correctly set up can restore all your original settings (registry keys etc). It does take a bit of reading throuhg at first to get your head round how to work it, but once your knowledge develops you can backup your current roms settings, flash a new rom and if you dont like it get your old one back and restore all your settings! There are plenty of resources around about it in order to learn more, here is the wiki page for it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SASHIMI
Good luck and enjoy

Glad you like the phone mine is arriving tomorrow, i use SPB backup trial, there is only one limit is that you can only make 5 backups per ROM, buut if you do a hard reset and setup everything again, it will start working again
Badwolve1
It's not possible from what I've read.
The best bet is with something like Sashimi, or UC (or XDA_UC) to re-install CAB files, registry tweaks, etc.
Personally, I use UC to install CABs and ProvisioningXml and then call my xcopyce program to copy and move some folders around.
Works a treat when Chefs bother to make UC Roms .

[Q] Nand flashing seen on polaris thread

Any ideaz fellaz
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
We aren't going to see Android on NAND for awhile. The developers are more concerned with getting basic hardware features working than with modifying the Polaris/Kaiser/Vogue Android bootloader. It's completely doable once the bootloader is modified for the Rhodium (and its variants), but it's not a priority to get it working at this time.
Yea, I think getting something like sound working is a little more important than getting it to boot natively.

But dude they been working on the vogue since 2008
sound wont work on the Rhodium for a while, everything SHOULD work, but theres something in particular thats stopping us from initializing one of the media processors. We need to decompile the Windows wavedev.dll to see what information is missing. I am one thats on this impossible mission lol
Now that busybox is running, NAND & a custom recovery image are my 2 biggest wants on this phone. With those tools, the possibilities for customization are basically endless.
Even when all work is done on this build, I still want it as a cab install I dont want my tilt 2 to be Android only. I love the fact that i can dual boot. The best of both worlds. plus i heard android runs faster off the sd card because of higher data transfer rates. Although i think its faster than what the processor is use to, in a sense. My next device will be an Android only OS. For now, with the Tilt 2, I will be dual booting. An android only device cant do that(windows) so we kind of got the upper hand on them. I can use the universally known WIndows mobile or Android. You cant beat that.
I wouldn't mind a nand flash now as tbf I never have my phone on load so sound doesn't bother me. Also I use android 100% of the time so having to reboot into winmo is a pain

i see what you're saying. I use Android about 75% of the time. Still have to go back into windows to use my cam.
Actually u dont have to reboot into winmo, just install the Gene Y dual boot, if u havent already. An easier and faster way to get into Android if the phone is reseted or just powering up.
hey dude named dzo confirmed a vogue build running on his tilt so my question is how safe is it o an 2.2 if app sound work y dont nothing else im ah noob so be easy plz jus a tp2/android junkie

I would use android more if my notifications work I dont even care that much about sound but my phone wont even vibrate when i get a text or phone call. I put it on vibrate and nothing. Am i doing something wrong?

make sure its in silent mode with the vibrate checked off. also go to ur sms. press menu. there, u can set up ur txts to go off on vibrate also.
Man... I just bought the Touch Pro 2 because I figured I could root Android on it, because I have my Tilt rooted with Myn's Warm Donut Android 1.6, and it is SO much better than Windows Mobile. It's faster, sleeker, and just has such a nicer feel to it, not to mention the ability to sync everything from g-mail, and an insanely accurate voice command system... grrrr.
Me want NAND!

which WinMo build is best for running Xandroid?

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.

[Q] Does android run bugless on touch pro?

Im sorry if this was asked but i'm on CSD internet connection.
so: can i run android (froyo preferably) on my touch pro without bugs? or what are the things that do not work on it?

Without bugs? No software is without bugs. With that said, there are many 'non-working' things. Read the main thread, it's got all these words that will answer this question. First 4 posts are great, after that the search feature works wonders.
Also, what happened to trying it out? This is for fun/testing, it's not meant to replace WinMo. So if that's what you're looking for (WinMo replacement) I'd look elsewhere. Like a new phone

"Bugless" is preference, IMO. Sure it runs on my Fuze as long as I stay within the guideliness from the link mentioned in the previous post. If you are looking for benchmarks, you might be better off with a device that actually comes with Android (also IMHO).
By the way what are you attempting to do with this?
Use it as my primary OS. i'm willing to sacrifice the camera for it.

There's a lot of other little quirks, I wouldn't use it as your primary OS - unless your phone isn't used as a phone of course
Most of the problems people truly have usually are related to the phone sleeping and missing calls, or rebooting in a call etc. Stuff that's mission-critical so-to-speak - I know some that use the phone completely unactivated and love Android full time. There's also some I know that have the phone activated and just don't care and use it all the time.
I'd say for most 'normal' people, it's not ready to use full time as your primary OS. But as with anything tech-related - try it for yourself! Don't let my opinion make your decision, only you will be able to tell. That's the greatest thing about this whole project, doesn't damage the phone, no need to flash anything... Try before you buy, except it's free anyways
welll I had it!
When i bought the phone (secound hand or third ) it had it installed already. It was froyo. I playd with it until it crashed! I had several runs until someday when i noticed that sounds ain't working no more. why? don't know.

It's a lite WinMo ROM that auto loads Haret from SD card the author is MichyPrima
As mentioned in THIS post. In my opinion, the closest that RAPH has been reported to run from nand. Keeping in mind this doesn't actually run from nand.
Just wondering if you tried it or not...

I believe thats what it is called. I'm looking at my TP2 and see it, looking at the Tilt/2 it has the space for it, but it's not there;

Why not just install one or flash a ROM with one...?

ATT.
I've tried about 7-10 different task manager files, none really worked.
I'd flash a new ROM if I could get some straight answers as to the most stable and useful one. Everyone has their favorites, so the discussion gets a bit muddled. I'm in a Motorhome right now and may be for longer then I had anticipated, so if I do, I'm not in the position to play/experiment.
Any ideas?
Well of course opinions will muddle the discussion of "most stable and useful" - everyone is going to have a different angle of what they feel fit those criteria.
I don't really use WinMo much anymore (Android is way too much fun ) but EnergyROM always worked well for me. I'm on Titanium lately, because I don't care how it looks - I just want it to boot quickly to get me into Android quickly .

I like Android, but with it phoning home, and the lack of audio through B/T (yet - I need a headset in the car and walking around), I can't use it on a daily basis - yet.
Hell'ava job though!
I've found ark-switch which works - mostly, so I can live with it.
Now if I can just figure out how add programs to a drop down start button, I'll be happy.
