Hi there. I am relatively new here, so I hope that you dont mind this kinda noob question. I tried to boot two diferent Android ROMs, Myn's Warm Donut from NAND and Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair from SDCard and that operation was succesfull. When card is out, pda loads Donut and with sd card in, pda loads Eclair.
My question: Is there any chance to load WM from NAND and Android from SDCard?

Hey great xda people!!
Just wondering if anyone is working on a Froyo ROM? Or if there is even a Froyo build to cook a ROM yet?? I sure hope so, because I was thinking of reformatting my 16gb microSD to give it like, 2 to 4gb of Ext2 space to install apps on. But with the announcement of Android 2.2 supporting apps on SD, we will have whatever size our microSD can hold right?
So does that mean we won't even need to create the Ext2 partitions anymore?
We already have apps2sd; there are huge kernel differences.
There isn't even an rom for the G1 that's usable (everything works), we always port from the G1.
wait, so, if we use apps2sd, does that mean we don't need to use those the Ext2 partitions + "data on sd partition" combination?

it is almost there
I'm waiting for it too...
I'm so excited Phones are just too much fun
I m in a trouble i want to install Android on my htc kaiser with wm 6.5 but failed i want to install by heret.exe method dont need to remove my wm so i tried method for 2.1 eclair ,2.2 foroyo and 2.3 gingerbread after penguin it stucks with dont mount sd card in 2.1 eclair and something like system.img failure in foroyo 2.2
I have .tgz file for both 2.3 gingerbread and foroyo for kaiser while one .tgz file is full hardware functionality i searched on net .Now plz tell me what to do to run by heret.exe file
Have you try Polymod 2.1 which I ever use It works .or maybe you need to change you sd card.what I know is that some rom not compatible with HaRET. I'm using CyanogenMod 7 now ever use CyanogenMod 6 with NAND
Logs would help. You will probably find a file named something like dmesg.log in the andboot folder, but I don't remember clearly. I made a mistake in my private message to you, where I said that the zImage and initrd needed to match so that the drivers would match the kernel. In fact, the drivers are not in the initrd but instead are in an androidupdate.tgz file that you should find the same place you found the kernel.
Ugh, guys, I've been away from kaiser long enough I barely remember how to do anything. I think it might not be safe for me to give advice anymore. But if you post your questions here, maybe someone will know the answer.
Currently running RLS 5 warm donut from nand.
Would like option to boot Warm eclair beta from SD card EXT2 partition.
1) I assume I put androidinstall.tar (for warm eclair) into /sdcard/andboot, run the installer and select install to SD for system and data?
2) currently using the donut 240x320 nbh. should I flash the eclair NBH? I expect to use donut as my primary build, but don't want to mess up running eclair.
3) How do I select between donut & eclair at boot?
Thanks!

1 = yes, just make sure that before you have install selected you have system and data set to partition or img
2 = that's the problem, you can flash an nbh in the field if you have a <=2gb sd card and change the nbh in the root with astro or something. Another way to switch between them in the field is to run it with haret in winmo and just swap the zimage. It is possible to run eclair on a donut nbh and vice versa however:
donut kernel:
donut rom = 3d works great
eclair rom = 3d is crap
eclair kernel:
donut rom = 3d is crap
eclair rom = 3d works great
3 = at boot you hold down the center key like your installing, then select your system/data install locations, be it nand for donut and ext2 for eclair, just make sure you have them correct then quit and continue booting. It will boot into the system and data that you selected.
thanks mrono
slightly more awkward than I thought, but no big deal
have not yet had time to try it
I have a 2GB micro sd card, so I should be able to use any of the options
don't want win mobile on my phone anymore - lol
Hey all.
I cant seem to get android Froyo 2.2 Beta to boot on my TD2,
It freezes on "Creating a New Data Store"
Can anyone give me a hand?
Hi TrickstaICT!
Just copy an older 2.1 XDAndroid on your sd card and start it with your favorite StartUp.TXT
This will create a data.img on your sd card. (approx. 256MB)
Use the generated data.img with the new 2.2 XDAndroid Froyo build.
I hope this will help you, I had the same problem if I try to generate a new data store.
Damn it.
Now kernal is panicing.
not syncing
does the partition have to be ext3? the same as andriomnia?
Hello,
I'm facing the same problem.
Can anyone be more specific for: "
Use the generated data.img with the new 2.2 XDAndroid Froyo build." ???
I think what they mean is to run the 2.1 package which will create a data.img on the SD card, put this somewhere safe then when you run the 2.2 Froyo package, use this as your data.img. This means that the Froyo package doesn't have to create a data store. It's not perfect (apparently) and causes some issues but is a kind of workaround.
i copied the datastore from 2.1, kernel panics
use newest rootfs and
zImage from 2010.07.02 thats the newest that works for me on my TOPAZ

I second that. My topa210 will only use 7-2 zimage package with newest rootfs and a saved data.img. Works great though.
Yes its easy.
So download the 2.1 build. Copy all files to your SD Card.
Now download the 2.2 build, but only copy System.Ext2 to your SD Card, overwriting the 2.1 System.ext2.
Now just copy the startup.txt to the root of your SD Card and run haret.exe.
Wait and wait en voila!
Android boots!
Im looking for some advice/input. Im going to start running android on my HTC touch (Bell). What is the best Android rom to use? Are there many issues?

You will be happy you did...
Thanks for the response. Im actually looking at this now. I cant see any install instructions and not sure exactly what files to grab. Will it work with these steps:
Easiest Step-By-Step Android Tutorial for the Vogue (NAND Method/Internal Memory) thread?
Does it matter if I run it off the miniSD vs fully flashing my phone?

That is a great thread to start at, it's where I first learned.
I've found that Android runs smoother while being run from the phone, not the sd card.
Those instructions should work. I have not really used them since Myn's Donut (older ROM). I dont see why not the process should be the same. I ran off SD for a while during donut days, things were slower. Running off NAND now and its a really nice experience.
It must just be me, but I haven't been able to get camera working on any Android builds. I am thinking my Sd card gets unmounted or something. Camera app starts, I can see display, then Force Closes.
I am running off sd card, I even tried partitioning cards, seems as though one of the ext2 partitions goes bad or something. If I place card in computer, one of the partitions is always corrupt?
I have re-formatted and re-partitioned 3 different cards using Gparted, always same error after installing Android system to Sd and Data to SD in install menu.
I apologize if this isn't clear, trying to explain it as best I can
WoW!
I just finished the install. Now working with Google sync to get my contacts over. I love it already and havent even done much! I may eventually install on the phone. Are the steps any different? Is there a thread to get setup?
Thanks for all the responses.
Go with Incubus26Jc's Super Froyo build on NAND I've been using for a month now and its been awesome hardly any problems
Ok guys I have been trying to set up this phone for a while now and always a week later the phone begins to start to mess up. When I say mess up, the phone crashes my apps disappear and the most annoying my SD card always gets a invalid file structure. I am using Super D Rom because I was using the cyanogen froyo and it was slow as hell. The SD card that I'm using is a WINTEC class 10 16GB, I tried formatting part of the sd card to linux swap file with no success. I would like a guide on setting up the phone from start to finish. So if anyone could help that would be great. Any recommendations are welcome
Do you install your apps on external SD?
Does your computer say the SD has got an invalid File-Structure?
Maybe you should try the Ezterry/Firerat Rom or if you like cm-features take the Ez FrankenCyan ROM. All of these ROMs seem to be very snappy and daily usable.
I'am currently using Ez FrankenCyan with Custom Boot Animation (so it doesn't say CyanogenMod at the start) with Zeam-Launcher and 2d Gallery, which works just fine!
If you don't want to mess around with Kernel-Installer, Radio and CustomMTD take Ezterrys Rom!

OK, I am using super e and my phone is very slow. At the first it was fast now just slow. I just want a Rom that has the google navigation, and maps, you know the essential stuff, I don't need Gingerbread or froyo. I think. Also on forums I have read that FROYO and GINGERBREAD are way to much for the G1 to handle.
I'am currently using Ez FrankenCyan with Custom Boot Animation (so it doesn't say CyanogenMod at the start) with Zeam-Launcher and 2d Gallery, which works just fine! OK, lets give it a go. How did you setup the phone so that it doesn't give any errors.
If you don't want to mess around with Kernel-Installer, Radio and CustomMTD take Ezterrys Rom! I will find out what stuff I have I think I have all of the Cyanogen Froyo requirements because I used that forum to start on messing with ROMS. I'll check tonight whats on my phone. Thanks for replying

Thanks for replying.
Will this work.
OK So I'm using AMON RA 1.7.0
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Also i'm using the fast boot with the 3 Androids on skate boards. I just want to find a ROM that will let me use my memory card and all my apps work fine. I'm using super E rom and it's not working properly. Apps are crashing and the phone is super slow. If anyone reads this that have pointers or suggestions about good ROMS and how to properly set them up, please post! I'm looking for a ROM that is FAST, and has all the google apps like Navigation, maps, etc. Please help. I'm not looking for fancy graphics and games, just a FAST rom that doesn't hang and also that I can install apps to my sd card. My SD card is a class 10 16gb card. Thanks guys.
Check out the yoshi gingerbread version its amazing sleek and fast. just upgraded from cm 6.1 to this and it's hella faster, make sure your EXT3/4 parition is under 1gb, perfferably like 512mb, the higher it is the more problems it has.
