hey i downloaded kaiser-hero-20-10-2009. i run the haret.exe and it loads. it goes into the hero and htc screen like its booting then reboots back to WM. does anyone know what it could be im lost right now.
Tips from little noob Joenie
Hey dude,
I am not sure what might be going wrong, yet, I do know a few checks:
- do you have the correct settings in default.txt? (see 1 of the many Android threats)
- did you download the latest basefiles and did you put them in the right folder on your SD card?
- some builds require extFS formatting, ensure that you have that or use another build
- does, for instance, the new ION or the newest Eclair build work?
I would like to help you further, since I love how Android can run on a Kaiser... However, I am still a bit of a noob... So I hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask additional questions... I am sure that the other Android devs can help you out then!

Welcome to OS Easy Launcher
I have developed this app initially to launch android in a simpler manner. It now supports booting multiple OS's on your Storage card. Any issues related to the stability of android or the other OS's are not related to my app but the build of the OS itself. One of my main goals of this app is to make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible for a WM app. if you see any room for improvement let me know and I will try to make it better.
For all builds of Android and Ubuntu that will work with this app go Here
Instructions:
1. download and unzip to the root of your storage card the version of android or ubuntu from above.
2. download Android Easy Launcher and install to your phone
3. Launch easy installer and launch the build type you had unzipped to the root of your Storage Card
4. Enjoy!!
Instructions for Win 95:
1. Download here
2. extract to root of your Storage Card a
3. Run Os Easy Launcher app and enjoy!
Note: when exiting Win 95 your phone will exit to landscape mode. you will manually need to change your orientation back to portrait.
If you have any suggestions let me know. also if you are having issues let me know what build your using and if your using sense build or not as well as rom so i can make this as compatible as possible.
If your a chef and want to cook this in your app feel free to do so. if you want to be notified of when i update the app for your next rom pm me and i will give you a heads up when its ready.
UPDATE:
Video of how to put android on your phone along with using the app coming soon!!! (need to charge my video camera)

Thank you tbdawg for the code to check if the files are on the sd card.
Updated translation for German Rom version thanks to akeos2000
For this app in other languages please see post 2!
Current app version:
v3
English
German
Norwegian
Current features:
-All Launguages-
*launches desire build still will need to run CLRCAD.exe first.(im trying to fix it so you dont have to)
*launches froyo build
*launches Windows 95
*launches ubuntu
*info selection added in menu - displays a brief info on the app in a message box
*checks if file for build is located on storage card before it launches. if the file is not found it will display a message. see images for example
*now boots both CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe for certain builds requiring CLRCAD.exe to run properly.
*now able to boot multiple builds in several locations on storage card ---- Froyo located in the Android folder, Desire located on root of storage card and Ubuntu located in the Ubuntu folder (note: app does not install the folders they are located in the current zip files from the link i posted above. just unrar to storage card basically.)
German Version:
Updated translation thanks to akeos2000
Future features:
*auto update android build
*multilanguage support
Fixes:
V3

*Now you can have the new froyo Android folder, Ubuntu folder and the desire build all be located on the storage card at once this will allow you to boot whatever version you want without having to overwrite to test the newest build.
*Updated app icon in stat menu
*updated UI again
V2
*now checks if file is located on storage card before it launches.
V1.5
*ubuntu now calls to proper folder to launch
*restored second button to boot CLRCAD.exe (only needed for desire build)
ETA of next update to app:
tomorrow most likely. working on multilingual support now.
Other Languages:
I have just translated everything in the original app. should work with foreign roms. just select the language of your app and it will search your storage card in the right language structure.
note: if you see the english version updated the foreign language version will be updated to the same build and reuploaded.
Currently Supported
*German - Confirmed Fully Working
*Norwegian - Confirmed Fully Working
Dont see your language then request it. Just let me know what they call storage card in your foreign rom!!
do i have to extract anything or jst download and launch
when i down load it and do step one an error comes up and when i do step two an error comes up and saysfailed to load file/storage card /zimage
I'm going to take a simple guess here and say you do not have a single Android file on your memory card. This is a simple shortcut program to the files that you should already have on your phone's memory card.
the app currently works best with the latest disire build 2.5. I am working on updating it for other images as i just read that some say zharet.exe so that should be resolved soon. currently you need to have extracted your latest android build to the root of your storage card then install my app and launch. I will also automate step 1 so all you will need to do is launch haret. I will be trying to get a hold of the devs and see if they would not mind if i included an update feature so you can use my app to update the build to the latest released version. Sorry i did not clarify as much earlier as i was headed to the hospital and wanted to get the thing uploaded real quick.
Well i am currently trying to finish downloading some more builds for the HD2 to test with my app. I believe i will have it set as sense build, standard build, Froyo build, and Ubuntu build. Post 1 will be updated with a new link to get any build of android for the HD2. New version to be uploaded as soon as all testing is done.
App updated to v1.5 and reuploaded. let me know if you find any issues.
Strange, but my device is held after runnig android
I have try two version of android (desired and standard)
in both cases after "init panel" command in console screen isa faded and device not respond to any actions, axcluding battary removal
May be i did some thing wrong ?
I get an error no matter what when i press either launch or run button. i have the android build stored on my storage card/root folder and extracted. what am i doing wrong?
i will make a video tonight on how to. i hope it helps everyone. sorry for the short reply about to get on a plane.

I am making a video to show how to setup your storage card for andriod and using the app. i will have this up in the next day just need a charge on my camera as it is completely dead. Please remember any issues with android is not due to this app but due to the build of android. The devs have done an amazing job to get us to this point in such a fast time but its really only in the stages to playing with and not really functional for daily use.

HELP,HELP!!
Hi,
I followed Yr installation instructions to the letter...The moment i launched version 1.5...& chose the standard android build...my screen went blank...though it was normal but after a few minutes nothing...I then rebooted & now none of my apps want to run except the standard apps that come with the phone...
When reboot now notification pos up saying cant run-PocketNotify!
Manilla-2.5.19211619.0
ROM-1.66.421.1 (76641)wwe
Radio-15.30.50.07U
I tried to reinstall apps just says unsuccessful!
check ur date as i noticed when u return from android to wm it gets messed up. the app only lauches the exe for you and does not touch anything else. it does not even access anything from internal memory only the storage card. i think the issues are related to the android builds themselves as i lost the htc volume skin after running haret from my storage card without my app on the phone so thats why i lean towards it being build related. but do check all ur settings.
got it working 1st try. nice work my friend. if i werent so damn broke i would donate, even if your not asking.
cheers

Thanks bro. Im working on updating the app again real soon. should be up in the next day or so.
new build up and ready with more optimizations.
awesome job, thanks again. im actually tri booting with your app. i have Desire 3.7 and Ubuntu as well as WM 6.5 Energy Rom, all 3 working fine. downloading the update now.
Ho.. great job man the' Easy Launcher v2.5' is the app i looking for. Works perfect when booting froyo thanks alot ....
Hi,
I am new to this forum. sorry if i repeat the question but I tried looking all over and I could not find any answer for my question, which is as follows...
1. If I experiment froyo 2.2 on my HTC HD2, how do i swith to and forth between Android (froyo 2.2) OS and Windows Mobile OS. Is it easy to do so?
2. If I don't like froyo running on my HTC HD2 because of technical difficulty, how do I switch back to original HD2 operating system, like I never tried Froyo installation (in other words - how do i completely uninstall froyo from the device)?
Sorry if I repeated the questions, but, again as I said, I could not found it on the forum.
Thanks
It actually just runs from the memory card so basically you just have to restart the phone, let it load windows mobile then delete the android mobile on the sd card. Below is the section for android roms basically just download and unzip to your sd card in an "Android" folder there might be more to it, but there is a thread with instructions too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
I had the same question and searching for the answer has led me to your post. I understand that the Froyo system files reside on the SD card but I'd imagine some sort of startup file on the phone itself has to be modified to point the boot sequence to the SD card. Is that correct and if so, what file(s) is modified on the phone? More specifically, I'm researching the Froyo install and want to do it without any custom ROMs, just stock, but I'd like to make sure I can remove all traces should I need to send it in for warranty purposes.
abc12121, did you get any more information on this that you could share? Can anybody else explain what, if anything, is modified on the phone to point to the Froyo install on the SD card? Or how the boot process works?
Thanks!
Superram Froyo not loading
I recently installed Superram Froyo from Darkstone on my HD2. It worked absolutely great for a day. Then all of a sudden, it stopped loading. I tried to repeat the process of booting but all it does is shows the green HTC logo and then the screen goes dark...and stay that way. Any advice or help is appreciated since I was begining to really enjoy it.
Regards
Hello Everybody!
It's been 3 days I am reading different discussion and threads. There is so much that it confuses me. If any of you pros can just redirect me to the resource which will full my need then please help me.
I have HD2 (Leo, T-mobile). I want to install Android on it but I don't want to lose WM6.5. I have been reading about installing Android SD card which seems like the option to work but still I have confusions in that.
Can you just provide me some or anything where I can follow the procedure and get Android install with disturbing my WM...
Thank you
There are plenty of SD builds for the HD2. You'll find the HD2 SD Android forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735&order=desc
If you like stock Android and not HTC Sense, I had a lot of good times with this particular ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518. It hasn't been updated for a while because more and more people are running it from NAND these days.
I'd recommend checking to see whether it's completely compatible with the TMOUS version (some ROMs aren't). Also, check a few out before settling on the one you like most, don't just take my word for it
Good luck, and welcome to XDA
I installed SuperRAM_Froyo_v1 on SD and it was working smooth. The next day I installed AmeriCanAndroid and it was also working fine. I kept switching back to WinMo. Just now when I tried to run CLRCAD or HARET it just says "The file 'CLRCAD' cannot open, etc etc".
I tried deleting the files and pasting again but it's just not working. Anyone been through such an issue?

Hello,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond 100 and I installed the "Froyo FRX06 XDandroid NEW system update" review in the post "[prj] [XDANDROID] [AOSP] [FroYo | GINGERBREAD] [31.03] System Update" and everything works fine except that it doesn't recognize SDcard applications.
There's no Error Message in the screen, is just that the system doesn't recognice anything in the SDcard. I put my apps in the folder: AndroidApps-> Other. I think it's not the common fault that I have read many people have "Waiting for SDCard error. For people who have problems with sdcard message, add this to your startupmsmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave" because for instance the phone let me save the pictures i've take with the camera phone or install and recognice any app from the market.
I 've Format the card with the HP tools after initial installation and then i had restore all the files in the internal storage.
P.S. Sorry for my possible spelling mistakes but English is not my native language
Keep in mind if you put the apk in anything other than the AndroidApps folder you will need to install them yourself. See THIS FAQ for further explanation. As far as the wating on sd card message you get when you are booting into Android, I get those all the time and have no problems with taking pictures. I would suggest that you use the full bundle from THIS post to ensure you have the latest. Unless you know what you are doing

Oh what A noob mistake xD I didn't know that apps in the "Other" folder doesn't follow the "typical rules" for instaling apps (i've come from previous releases of Android, Eclair specifically, and in that version it was only place in this folder to install apps).
I'm using froyo instead of gingerbread builts because HTC touch Diamond it's quite old and i don't know if the performance would be better or slower than froyo performace but if you recomend me to use that gingerbread bundle i would use it.
Thanks R^7Z.
Honestly, Gingerbread is "better" but it is alpha release at the moment. Yes, this means that there are quite a few more "improvements" to under-go! I only recommend it if you like the idea of Android. The latest releases for FroYo aren't bad but it seems there are a few hard instability hits it has taken since FRX03 (last time I really enjoyed running a FroYo build from the XDAndroid project). Since then, I've been playing around with a few things and builds to include but not limited to this new idea of CWM (clockwork mod/Gingercherry tutorial) which is posted in the neopeek forums. So, unless you've got an idea as to how neopeek variants work, it's suggested to stick with the XDAndroid builds...

I see what you say but honestly, right now, I'm looking for stability and performace, if you know that gingerbread build GBX0A have better performance (i supose that it's less stable because it's an alpha) than FRX06 i'll choose Ginger
Thanks again R^7Z.
Hi, all!
Another post has pointed me in the direction of Biffmod. Unfortunately, because I am new to this forum, I do not have permission to respond in the Developer's area.
Biffmod sounds like just what I need for my G1, but I need some help getting it on there, as I've been running Cyanogenmod for as long as I can remember.
I guess my questions are:
0. Is #Biffmod still used, when I join the channel, it looks empty on Freenode?
1. Does Biffmod have a dedicated website for images/ nightly builds etc, I couldn't see one?
2. It doesn't look like I can just copy the Biffmod image onto my SDCard and install it. For my first Biffmod install, I could do with some hand holding, has anyone moved from CM to Biffmod and are they able to help? I think getting the /swap sorted will be the biggest hurdle.
### Regarding /swap, it looks like that I can partition the SDCard using the already installed ROM Manager. Is this an option to help me get Biffmod installed?
Many thanks,
Chris.
