Title says it all
I am wondering that question as well..., how do you access the data/files on ya SD inside Android/NAND Android?
Well there's always file managing apps like Astro, but I'm not sure if it works that way, so, if someone could put kill our question!
Android is Linux based so there should be a similiar command to ls -a where you can see the files and be able to run SD Roms? Or I'm kinda hoping there is..., in SU maybe???
Thanks for the feedback bro, appreciate them.
We just need a response from actual experience; surely trying to run Android off SD wouldn't harm the device in any way.
I don't think we can boot an android build from an android build seeing as how clrcad and haret was build for winmo. >.> but looking at the magdlr notes, if i'm wrong, it has an option to boot android from SD or to boot from NAND, so guess that means you can have an android build in SD and NAND.
NEVER MIND... it failed the second time.
Yes but the build has to be built like a nand build. So you can't just boot the ones you have now.

I just tried..., I done what I would normally do for an SD Build and used the NAND boot menu to try to run the SD Build. Even though there is an option which says you can run from AD SD..., it doesn't happen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10202441&postcount=146 <-- This makes sense ( no pun intended )
I understand that a Nand build on SD card will work the same as Nand build on phone, that makes perfect sense.
Question is, is the SD card memory used for application files or will it use up all the memory on my phone like Nand on phone does? Is it possible to use a data.img. Of course, the perfect solution would be to add the option in Magldr (Nand) to boot into recovery so the SD card could be partitioned for files and ext3 for extra application system files like we can with a normal Android phone. Then the need to add another Android rom onto the SD card just for extra storage would not be needed for us European users.

With the recent developments of Android and WP7 for the HD2, I really can't decide between the two. Will there be an option of dual boot like with WM6.5? I'd love to have this option.
I would definitely love for this to happen, although WP7 is in the lead for me now, booting android once in a while wont be so bad.
i think itz possible in tmobile usa HD2 with itz 1gb ROM ... two partitions using two NAND OS... dual NAND..
I'm very interested in this option. Hopefully this will be available soon.
I hoppe we find a solution for Leo from EU (512Mo).
Like WIN6.5 + Android on SD ?
My favorite way : Android in NAND, WP7 on SD !!
think we should be able to still boot android off sd with magldr... we just need to switch to a different sd card that wasn't used with wp7. I hope its possible. will be trying it soon.
i would love to do this, i have a 124 leo.
F*ck the 512!
Android+WP7 would be sweeeet for 1024!

based by the link above (with google translate), its possible to dual boot with wp7 nand and android sd
Is it possible to back up a android nand rom, so i don't need to download al apps again and set them all up again?

SEARCH!!!
But since your lazy, yes there is. Its called Titanium backup and it saves all your apps and settings into a file. When you install a new build just recover that file from within Titanium backup and all your apps and stuff will be there.

So...does anyone here speak enough Chinese to make more sense of this than Google Translate does? I think some sort of modification needs to be made to init.rc. Possibly system.img too. It's also not clear to me if a NAND or SD ROM is meant to be used. There are some links which I'm trying to make sense of...

Im unsure on how to do this also, if anybody fancys typing it into something we could follow it would be great!
Im in work today and my phone is fully charged ready for win7/android combo
How would you boot android from nand if you can't access the file system of the SD card?
Its an unknown format and magldr surely won't be able to boot anything from it.
Maybe it works the other way round, though?
Or you could use your phone7 without sd card...
hey that may even work.
Limited storage for phone7 - who cares?

That's what I would like to be able to do. WP7 is nice to play with at this stage but I still plan to use Android most of the time.

Half of the sdcard is formatted in FAT32. The other in WP7 system file.

Here's that thread translated:

I have already declared in the title dual boot, or have friends do not understand the altar. After the following modifications, select the boot wph start guide wp7, select the boot ad sd sd boot on Android , Android WP7 and dual-boot, the boot options can, without disturbing each other. Start wp7 will not interfere with sd card, wp7 sd card did not even know exist, the question is wp7 little space available, but at least can be used.
Expect experts to address the first time in wp7 can choose to start the occupation of the sd card space, do not fully occupied enough.

Thank DFT ! Because SD Android running well, I have not brush Nand Android, waiting for the arrival of WP7.
Today, DFT has released long-awaited HD2 users WP7, I finally started to brush. Brush some of the altar before the access to the Friends of the experience, that really exclusive WP7 SD card, which can later how to run Android.
I have access to the information carefully and found that the SD card as WP7 only system expansion space, the first start of the SD card partition to use. Therefore, I decided to removed the SD card so reserved for Android use.
PC: Windows 7
HD2: SHPL 2.08
SD: Sandisk 8G c4 (from the phone in the show)
The following is the process of Brush:
1. Three-color screen brush Magldr 112 (all normal, NES Set )
2.Magldr start to select the USB Flasher, PC-side DWI (all normal)
3. Phone reboots directly into the WP7, simple to use, after all the normal (free space 98M)
4. Handset off
5. Insert SD card
6. boot holding down the hold button, enter the Magldr menu
7. Set always shows the menu (to decide, because I want to dual-boot often, so set the boot menu)
8. Set the boot path SD card Android
9. Guide the SD Android, the show finished HTC interface (kernel, Init after) boot into Andoird animation between the phone restart
Episode: I stupid out, SD card, there are a lot of information not backed up, hands and no card reader, can not enter the Andoird, the backup can not, WP7, when not installed into the SD card, do not expect him to. Fortunately, there are menu items that Magldr USB storage (my first use of Magldr), select this option, the memory card sorting.Remove the SD card all the Android-generated directory (the directory is generated Android, do not also delete a Android), re-boot, the first screen to enter Andoird die.
10. Online access to information, Magldr guide SD card Android, need to modify inti.rc.
11. Will system.img (I use the DHD Android) copied to the Linux modified.
In the service ril-daemon / system / bin / rild-l / system / lib / libhtc_ril_wrapper.so append --d / dev/smd0 nand parameters, to support
Nand boot.
12. Returns Android phone, after a successful boot.
Nagging: WP7 egg really hurt, WIFI without any settings, I have been using a static IP, can not be set.

He's dual booting, but none of the SD card space is for WP7. It only has around 100megs left. WP7 automatically RAID0's the whole card with internal memory for space. That's why removing the card screws up WP7 and a hard reset has to be done. I think what would be ideal is if the card could be split into 8gb for WP7 and 8GB for Android, but part of the problem is you can't call HARET.exe or CLRCAD.exe because there is no OS to understand those executables.
Just Installed Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 and I was wondering if there's a way to Dual boot Windows phone 7 and Android Either SD builds or NAND builds.
Thanks in advance
Can you not run Haret or whatever other android loader you have from your wp7 file explorer? P.S. I haven't installed WP7 yet, I need to know if Dual Boot is possible
I can't even find a file explorer
so far I like really the looks of WinPhone 7 but I miss the Functionality
There is a guide for this under the android dev forums, its one of the stickies.
You can still run android from SD with magldr... you just have to either partition your sd card or switch sd cards used for wp7 and android. WP7 doesn't run winmo apps. And doesn't come with file explorer, but schaps made a file explorer called touchexplorer that you can install. Read around the forums, there are directions allover for this stuff. I have WP7 on my nand right now with a 16gb card, and I'm about to setup my 32gb card to run android off of.
Thanx, so I have an 8 GB card and i'm Currently runing WinPhone 7
I don't Know exactly how to partition it and the method to run android too is there a guide?
and will it be NAND or SD build?
and if both of them run will Both OS's be able to see same Music, Photos, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
Here's a guide.
And no, they won't be able to see same music or anything... they will be completely seperate partitions and can't read each other. WP7 will be on NAND and Android is ran from SD card.
Thank u so much
just another Question plz
Android can't be run from NAND also as a second operating system, it must be an sdcard build right?
Edit: Ignore that found the answer in the thread which is no it must be ran from SD
Thanx again
I am about to install Android on my HTC HD2, and the advise I was given was that I must use the SD method. I just want to be sure.
I need a system where when I start the Phone Winmo starts up, and then I run another program to run Android, and then I can go back and forth (via reboot or some other way).
Thanks for your advise and information!
Chaz
So far as I know, you'll have to go with the SD variant if you want to keep WinMo. That way, WinMo is only a re-boot away. It's the method I prefer as I'm not so taken with either Android or WinPhone to go for the full NAND flash.
yeah, you would need to use the SD card method, i would recomend using RAM builds because they are very fast!
Yes, you must avoid the NAND versions, cause these will erase your Windows Mobile ROM and replace it by a Android ROM.
Thus, you have to choose a build inside the "HD2 Android SD Development" thread.
But here inside it is not always simple. Cause for some SD builds you will need to flash MAGLDR to be able to boot these builds, while for others the old method of executing CLRCAD and HARET is much simpler.
Hello All....
I have installed android on my HD2, via NAND, and found that i suddenly ran out of space, and i cant install any apps. This is obviously due to a large rom, loaded onto the phone. I therefore started invetigating android via SD card. What should i do as precaution not to brick, or where can i find a guide to going to sd method from the NAND method.
Or alternatively, if you can help me with my partition sizes, for when i reflash android that i actually have some space. If someone can give me a breakdown of what the partitions must look like...
while this may be easy for others, i am a noob on the hd2-android..
a Speedy response would be highly appreciated...
thanks
Here is a decent walk-through on how to dual boot with Windows Phone 7 (with WP7 being on NAND and Android being on SD). He covers pretty well the partitioning processes that are needed. I haven't tried it out myself, cause my HD2 is being shipped to me currently.

You don't have to partition your card for most SD roms. If the Rom requires partitioning it will tell you in the instructions. You can boot SD roms through magdlr as well. Just copy root folder of Rom ("Android") to root of SD, then in magdlr go to services>SD boot settings and ensure it is pointed at you Android directory. Then select ad sd boot and it should boot from there.
P.S. If you intend to keep your nand install, you will need to rename your Android sd folder to something other than Android. Be sure to change the directory in magdlr to match the new name of your folder. This worked for me. I am currently running a nand build and a sd build and both run great.
Cheers
What about apps to sd????
