This post is getting deleted in 3....2.....1.....
Ummm.... Why?
edit: reference to illegal site is removed now
Don't delete, it's right, it work, It work on My mobile, long time to load but it work....
Sorry about that. I removed all of the references. And yes it works
EDIT: And this is NOT commercial software.
Does it work on the HD2? anybody tried?
I havent tried yet. It is pretty safe to install so give it a try
There is already a thread with detailed instructions by the author himself, so this should be deleted.
This is not the same. This has been repackaged to be simpler to install.
Code:
1. Open the EXE and follow the install
instructions.
2. Open Settings > Personal > Buttons and
map a button on your phone for '<Input
Pannel>'.
It takes 2 steps, instead of many on the other post.
The download includes a cracked version of VGAKey, which the developers probably won't appreciate.
Besides, Windows95 is hardly public domain, either?
OK Delete it then -_-.
I could remove the VGAKey part, and I doubt Microsoft would care about something 10+ years old.

Or, remove the VGAKey part, and include instructions or for users to create their own win95 image if they still own an old CD. Unless, you had to modify the image to get it working, I suppose...
Any way to get this to display full screen?

[Tutorial] My easy guide to SPEED-UP a lot X10 with STOCK SE 2.1 ROM ♦(UPDATED 30/04)
Hi everybody!
My username is new here on XDA, but you have to know that I follow you everyday, mostly on Xperia X10 thread, since I bought my SE smartphone. Finally I decided to register and take part of this huge community So... welcome to me!
After working on my X10 and following several guides here on XDA, I found very interesting some posts/threads about it and would like to share my experience with you.
If you like, you can pay me a beer with a small donation. Feel free to do it if you want! However, because of I usually don't drink too much beer, you can pay me some gadget that I need for my university studies, it's much better for me
An HUGE thanks to the following users for their donations (please let me know your XDA username too ^^ ):

You might found helpful this guide if:
you are not still ready to fully migrate to non-official ROMs due to their partial instability, lost of warranty,...;
you like Sony Ericsson user interface layer and don't want leave it for other standard ROMs;
you use timescape and mediascape;
you want much more speed from your SE Eclair 2.1 because you are sick of the stuttering during the use;
you want to enjoy multitouch on standard ROM;
you want to experience better snapshot and videorecording quality from your X10 8.1 MPx HD camera;
you want to remove very unuseful third-part preinstalled apps in Sony Ericsson ROM;
you need a very easy tutorial to perform these operations
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I will report here the procedures I have applyed to my Xperia X10 with standard Eclair 2.1 to improve its performance a lot, without making uninstable the software or causing any sort of crash.
!! ATTENTION !! The mods that I report here are not mine. They belong to their developers. I just would like to share with you the steps and the mods I made to my X10 choosing among the great ones all made available here on XDA forum, thanks to the great work done by super people here on XDA Thus, all software downloads here on XDA contain an hotlink that will address you on the official thread of the software, created by its developer. OK??
!! WARNING !! I AM NOT, I AM NOT, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR SMARTPHONE. Thus, if you want to try, it's up to you. I can only say that my Xperia X10 still works more than fine, and even much faster than before
READY? SET, GO!!!!!!!
STEP 1: ALL DRIVERS WE NEED!!
WHY THIS STEP: At first I tryed some mods but, even with USB debug enabled, certain software was not able to work. The reason? Simple: the right drivers were not correctly installed on my Windows 7 PC even with SEUS preinstalled and fully working.
HOW TO DO:
You simply have to download Sony Ericsson PC Companion. You can found it clicking HERE , downloading from the official SE source the latest version.
Once you download and install it (very easy to do), just connect your Xperia X10 and wait until the software recognizes it. Now all drivers, even the USB debugging ones, are fully installed and operative. We must need them for next operations we will perform to our X10.
STEP 2: ROOT IS THE BASIS FOR ALL!
WHY THIS STEP: we need to obtain the ROOT access on our Xperia X10 in order to be able to execute certain software and make sure it works well. Without working root, we simply won't obtain the right full permissions to proceed with the installation and customization of certains mods that will follow here in this guide.
HOW TO DO:
simply download and unpack the latest FlashTool 0.2.6, that includes several major bugfixes in respect to the previous version. Download it from its official thread, HERE.
Now turn on your Xperia X10, connect it to your PC and enable the USB Debugging from Setting -->Applications --> Development (I hope the translation is right, I have italian software on my Xperia...);
Finally start FlashTool by clicking on the main executable file and simply click the "ROOT" button on the upper part of the software.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT and enjoy a delicious italian coffee
Once the software finishes (usually a few seconds are needed) maybe it will restart your X10 or will ask you to do it. So, do it now!
Root completed!!!
STEP 3: BUSYBOX, the magic box
WHY THIS STEP: you need this intermediate step to be completely sure that the installation of next component will work fine without any problem or crash. This is a toolpack for your Android device that will bring the right instructions used by certain software to be correctly executed.
HOW TO DO:
Open Android Market application from your X10;
Search "busybox", then install it as you do for every application;
Open BusyBox Installer from your main menu, click OK to agree with the licence and finally click on the "Install" button.
If the root performed at the previous step (STEP 2) of this tutorial has been correctly executed, you will be able to install it without any problem and an "OK" message will appear.
STEP 4: xRECOVERY, the magical installation tool ;)
WHY THIS STEP: xRecovery is a sort of "external software environment" developed for Android Xperia X10 in which you will be able to boot in at every OS boot, to execute advanced operations regarding your ROM and NAND memory. You can install custom rom, backup them, format, wipe cache, and (this is what we need now) install custom zip updates and software packages.
HOW TO DO:
Download the installer from the OFFICIAL THREAD here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571 on XDA; choose the typical installation. In other words, just download the APK;
Copy the APK on the SD of your X10 by connecting it on your PC;
Open the APK on the Xperia X10 and install it using for example ASTRO file manager.
Once installation has finished, open "xRecovery installer" from the main menu and choose "Install xRecovery". A few seconds and all is done!!
To boot in xRecovery, simply restart your phone and press BACK button while booting
xRecovery does not allow you anymore to charge battery without (automatically) turning on the phone if it is powered off and you plug the USB cable. If you want to restore the battery offline charge functionality, just install through xRecovery the "xRecovery-charge-offline.zip" file; you will find it in the same official thread, at the bottom of the first main post!
STEP 5: THE JUST-IN-TIME COMPILATOR for your 2.1!
WHY THIS STEP: you will be able to enjoy better performance in everyday use of your X10 by installing a new kind of software compiler that Google has included in Android 2.2 Froyo (and next releases). On XDA developers have been able to make a port of this new kind of compiler on the standard Xperia 2.1 ROM. This compiler works in a quite different way because it performs the compiling procedure "as the software needs it", just in time. I would remember you that in ARC computer architecture, a compiler is a software module that translates high-level language in assembly language.
HOW TO DO:
Download the JIT Enabler v2.0 from its OFFICIAL THREAD ;
Don't unzip it but follow the instructions in the official thread to install it. You simply have to save the zip file on your SD Card, boot in xRecovery (restart the X10 and press any button during boot), than choose "install custom zip" and select this file. Installation will last a few seconds.
After installation, reboot the X10 choosing the rebooting option from xRecovery.
No panic: first reboot will require a lot of time!! Don't worry, leave your X10 working until the boot ends.
PAY ATTENTION!! Latest official SE firmware, always based on 2.1 Eclair Android OS, officially brings the dualtouch support. And, although Sony Ericsson ensures "it will work only in browser and Google Maps", it works everywhere!.
Thus, no need to perform STEP 6 and STEP 7. However, unfortunately I noticed that latest firmware ( .435) 's dual touch precision is worse than the one provided with STEP 6 and STEP 7. I also heard that the new firmware update that SE is releasing just in these days will bring a really improved dual touch system. We hope it!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 6: MULTITOUCH, WE WANT IT!!
WHY THIS STEP: really? are you seriously asking yourself why this step? Well, the multitouch (sorry, dualtouch...) is one of the most dreamed freature by every X10 user: it makes you able to use pinch-to-zoom on your beautiful 4'' LCD !
HOW TO DO: just follow the official tutorial HERE
STEP 7: A FULLY-ENABLED DUAL-TOUCH!
WHY THIS STEP: simply because multitouch update won't work in every application! Browser, google maps, Angry Birds,... Thus, with this tutorial you will be able to fully unlock it
HOW TO DO: just follow the official tutorial HERE
STEP 8: IMPROVE YOUR CAMERA
WHY THIS STEP: it overwrites the official camera apk with an optimized one that allow you to snap better pictures with improved details, reduce the shot time, improve a lot HD video quality (recuding a lot the stuttering suffered by X10 in videorecording...).
HOW TO DO: just follow the official tutorial HERE
I suggest you to backup the official camera apk file; in case of problem you can easily restore it. You can simply choose to rename it, for example, append to the name "_DELETED": you will "disable" the file because you changed its name. To restore it simply rename it deleting the modded one and removing the "_DELETED" extension. For this operation I highly suggest Root Explorer!
The new v7 version of this custom apk camera, that always applyes ONLY to stock SE 2.1 ROMs, is based on the stock apk camera file of latest SE firmware. It includes even better video captures, but requires a few more steps to be fully enabled: just have a deeper look at the first post of the official tutorial I have just linked! In fact, you just need to add a few more rows to build.prop file.
HOW CAN I EDIT BUILD.PROP? Here a fast sub-tutorial:
You can use RootExplorer, download it from the market. It only will work with root privileges
make sure you reach the directory in which build.prop is stored (it is saved into system directory)
press MountR/W button
long press on build.prop and choose "open in text editor"
Add the required rows, finally save & exit. And you've done everything!

STEP 9: SPEED, SPEED, SPEED! REMOVE UNUSEFUL APKs!
WHY THIS STEP: well, this is the step I like the most! Simply because it's the one that makes it possible to obtain a lot of speed increasing!!! The goal is to remove unused applications that usually runs in background draining your battery and slowing a lot your bright Snapdragon CPU
HOW TO DO:
Use Root Explorer; install it from the Market if you still don't have it;
I don't want you to remove applications; just move them to your SD cards. They will not be recognized anymore from Android OS and won't be executed. In other words, you remove it by creating a backup. If something goes wrong, if you miss any application functionality, you simply restore them on their original directory. Be sure to check permissions, when you restore: put a check, with Permission options of Root Explorer, of the first two items of first row if they are unselected!
With Root Explorer create a folder, for example name it "deleted" on SD card root; it will contain the backup copy of removed unused APKs;
With Root Explorer, move to system/app directory
Enable the Multi-select option in Root Explorer
SELECT THE FOLLOWING APKs:
EManual.apk
EManualLauncher.apk
FaceRecognition.apk
JapaneseIME.apk
LatinIME.apk
LearningClient.apk
OMAClientProvisioning.apk
PcCompanion.apk
playnowback.apk
playnowclient.apk
SEMCSetupWizard.apk
SEMCTouchPalKoreanQWERTY.apk
SetupWizard.apk
Stk.apk
moxiermail.apk
playnowappinstaller.apk
quadrapop.apk
wisepilot.apk
qcsemcservice.apk
SemcCheckin.apk
OmaDatasyncService.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Choose "Move";
Now reach the "deleted" folder you created before and choose "Paste".
Finished!! Now reboot your X10 and enjoy better free RAM and much more speed!!
I followed THIS GUIDEto suggest you the be(a)st APKs to remove. However, I missed some APKs for two reasons:
I WANT TIMESCAPE!
Removing some of the ones suggested in that thread, I was no more able to update my status and the splins on TimeScape
Well, I don't remove Chinese keyboard because I need it to write to my chinese friends here in Shanghai But you can add it to your custom removing list if you prefer!
Pay attention! Maybe now, due to any of that application removing, you won't be able anymore to sync facebook photos with your phonebook. Don't worry!! You can download and use the great SyncMyPix from Android Market. It will allow you to automatically sync every photo from your facebook contacts with a much higher quality than the stock Sony Ericsson application that works in your phonebook to sync these photos!!!
You can have a deeper look of all these APK HERE ; thanks to reindero2005 user for this useful link!
STEP 10: HOME SCREEN REPLACEMENT
WHY THIS STEP: simply because the stock homescreen and menu by SE are quite slow and usually stuttering. Thus, I suggest you to install LauncherPro and enable the 3D menu.
HOW TO DO:
Open Android Market and search launcherpro application;
Try the free version, it's more than enough. However, you can help its developer buying the full version and enjoying full options
Set it as default homescreen (it will be asked from Android OS after installation when you press the home button) and add all widgets and icons you want.
You may also choose a static desktop background: it will help you saving battery and menu will become a lot faster without an animated wallpaper. Try and choose, almost everything in your life it's up to you!
STEP 11: IMPROVE YOUR SOUND
WHY THIS STEP: to obtain a better, louder, crisper sound from your X10. From every hardware source: earphones, bluetooth audio devices, on-board speaker,...
HOW TO DO:
Just download (it is not free, buy it if you want ) Louder Volume Hack v4.1;
After installation, follow every initial step that the program will require.
Press on the big speaker icon on the screen, then select V6 & Revision2Files button and click Apply.
Wait until the software finishes, than on next screen choose buttons IC Loud, Headset Boost 1 and Bluetooth Boost 1, finally apply again
Reboot and enjoy a better higher sound, especially in earphones!!
STEP 12: SYSCTL, ADVANCED (BUT AUTOMATIC) KERNEL IMPROVEMENTS
WHY THIS STEP: sysctl is a free utility that allow to further improve your system responsiveness. Scrolling will be even faster (everything on the screen will better follow your finger during touch), applications will run faster and their opening time will be reduced. Not only!! After the right settings and tune-up of the software, your battery will do an huge smile because your X10's autonomy will exceed a lot!!
HOW TO DO:
search on the Market and download sysctl; it's free
after installation, search in your menu and open "Sysctl Config"
Set up the following:
- Check "Enable sysctl" option;
- Set "Min Free KBytes" to: 32568
- Set "Dirty Ratio" to: 5
- Set "Dirty Background Ratio" to: 3
- Set "VFS Cache Pressure" to: 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FINISHED! Maybe the easiest step, right? Now just reboot your phone
STEP 13: MINOR FINAL TWEAKS TO BUILD.PROP file
WHY THIS STEP: a few minor tweaks for further improvements of your android device!
HOW TO DO: you need to edit your build.prop file. Remember? I explained how to do it in STEP 8, in the quoted part of the text. Take a look here if you did not read it before these other steps and you will be ready to go!
Here you will found several "rows" that you have either to modify (if already present into default.prop file) or to add (if not present, of course). The BOLD part are the rows, while the Italic-style text is a description about them and you don't have, of course, to add/edit this part into your build.prop file because it's simply a description for you, to better understand what every single "command" does!
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000 phone will ring without delay when someone calls you
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=260 the operative system will check touchscreen inputs with more frequency (think about the interrupt interval), thus the scrolling will be smoother
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m and dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit which bring better cache management
mot.proximity.delay=150 : it makes the proximity sensor more responsive
You should already have these two values if you took a look at STEP 7: they are ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true and
ro.product.max_num_touch=2 . Make sure these two instructions are ALWAYS placed as last ones into build.prop file and no enter is present at the end of the file!
STEP 14: FURTHER SPEED-UP, FREE RAM MEMORY AND IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE
WHY THIS STEP: Thanks to the user PlayGunsta that has posted HERE a nice deep tutorial regarding this, it is possible to further increase the true performance of our device by installing two small programs and set-up them in a very easy and fast way! In a few words, the first APK module will allow you to make free around 100MB of the RAM of the X10 in any situation (and trust me, this immediatly translates in a smooth boost, without taking into account the Android memory management system and how it works...). Not only more free RAM: also an improved battery and an overall speed-up of your system.
After this tweak, try to open your Browser, TimeScape or MediaScape: all will seem damn fast
ALL CREDITS go to PlayGunsta and his THREAD, I just report his tweak here for your convenience
HOW TO DO:
PART 1 - Autokiller
Download THIS package, move it to your SD card and install, for example, with the help of ASTRO File Manager;
Open Autokiller (what you have just installed!);
In the Memory limits tab set the following:
Hidden app: 150
Content provider: 160
Empty app: 170
Press Apply (and allow for root access permissions);
Go to "Setting" and check that the option "Apply settings on boot" is checked!
Move to "Advanced system tweaks" and enable "Battery" and "Memory management" options;
Exit and return to your home screen, then reboot!
PART 2 - Autorun Manager
Download THIS package, move it to your SD card and install, for example, with the help of ASTRO File Manager;
Open Autorun Manager(what you have just installed!);
Focus only on the "Basic" tab of the software, and disable all the services that you don't use or, in general, are unuseful for your device. This will kill all uneeded background applications, will free more memory and will make available more CPU resources for the other running programs! For example, I have disabled "Software Update", "Anonymous Usage Stats", "Skype". You can also try with other services if you like!
Exit and return to your home screen, then reboot!
STEP 15: DRASTIC FURTHER STOCK APPS REMOVAL
WHY THIS STEP: Well, I have to say that I didn't need to perform this step because I love so much certain stock applications which are present in our X10. For example, how could I survive withouth Timescape? Imho it's simply the best social gadget I've played with until now! However, if you like to have a more Android-stock oriented smartphone, and want to remove further Sony Ericsson applications in a very safe way, this further step is just for you
Furthermore, it will give you the ability to remove core applications which can easily replaced with other ones -most of them free- from the Android Market.
HOW TO DO:
Just follow the instructions of STEP 9 , what you have to do is exactly the same. But, in this case, here the other applications that you can remove (if you don't need them, of course), withouth causing any problem to your phone. I would thank the user Ski-lleR that has mentioned them on this thread and already removed them without problems.
Here the list:
Browser.apk (it's the default browser, remove it if you want to replace with another one, for example Dolphin, Firefox, Opera,...)
Calculator.apk (the stock SE calculator)
Facebook.apk (the Facebook application, it shouldn't affect Timescape)
mediascape.apk (the official Sony Ericsson music player)
MediascapePluginManager.apk (component of MediaScape)
officesuite.apk (the trial office suite)
Timescape.apk (here Timescape APK with its modules and themes all safe to remove)
Timescape.apk
TimescapePluginManager.apk
TimeScapeProvider.apk
TimescapeThemeBlue.apk
TimescapeThemeGreen.apk
TimescapeThemeIndigo.apk
TimescapeThemeOrange.apk
TimescapeThemeSakura.apk
trackid.apk (the software needed to recognize songs by just let the phone hearing them from an external source)
Youtube.apk (of course, the YouTube application)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, as I said, I didn't remove them and if you keep them only TimeScape, especially on very low speed networks, will cause sometimes the phone to lag a bit. It's up to you to decide. And, in case you are not pretty sure, just move these applications, as I explained in step 9, to another folder and see what happens to the operative system without them. In case you miss them, just restore with a cut-paste in the original folder to enjoy their functionalities again
STEP 16: REMOVE BOOT SCREEN ANIMATION TO SPEED-UP BOOT
WHY THIS STEP: If you don't care too much to graphics and animated SE boot screen logo, you can remove this capability and save some time during the boot procedure. I would thank the user basisnederland that has suggested to include this step in the guide. Really thank you and thanks everybody for the tons of feedbacks and suggestions that help me to make this guide better and better
HOW TO DO: Using for example RootExplorer, you just have to delete the file called startupanimation.zip situated into the directory media. The result is a sensible improvement on cold boot!
STEP 17: SD CARD TRANSFER RATES (READ&WRITE) SPEED-UP
WHY THIS STEP: Well, in my case only improvements with benchmark tests and not too much in real daily use. But at least you should have a try to this mod, it sounds really interesting
Since a couple of weeks, here on XDA more than one developer suggested scripts and mod (to flash with xRecovery or to create with a notepad and put inside the ROM) to reach a simple goal: adjust the size of the cache of the SD memory card in order to obtain better performances in terms of read and write transfer rates.
The operation of modding was not so easy for non expert users, until Diego Stamigni, an Italian developer (I am Italian too and so I am glad for this ^_^ ) has created a very easy-to-use tool to perform this operation!
Before and after you perform this step, please measure the read and write speed of your SD Card in terms of MegaBytes per second (MB/s) with a benchmark tool called SD Tools that you can find on the Android Market to see how much the improvement is!
HOW TO DO:
A few very simple steps to follow:
Download from Android Market the software SD Tools and install it
Run the benchmark with the stock parameters (remember that Android set SD Cache to 128KB) and look at the result; you will see quite low reading and writing speed for your SD card!
Now download and install from the market SD Speed Increase, thus set the cache of SD card in 2048KB and press Apply. Of course, you can try other values and every time start SD Tools bench to see which one best fits for your memory card, according to the brand, the Class speed and the NAND type
After applying the tweak, see the improvement with SD Tools!
This tweak will automatically apply to every boot of the smartphone, so after you perform it just enjoy the speed increase without remember to do anything next time you reboot your X10
... AND NOW? WHAT SHOULD I GET AND EXPECT FROM MY SLIGHTLY MODDED X10?
The answer to this question is very simple: much speed!!! One time I executed Linpack I got 34.4 MFLOPS as score. But usually is around 32.5 / 33. A very good result for the stock ROM. However, I want to focus to a more important point: it doesn't matter the number of a benchmark, it matters the real speed that you are able to appreciate everytime you use your smartphone. Now you will se everything work much faster, you will say "WOW" maybe (yes, I did it too...) =P

CONCLUSION AND FINAL WORDS
I hope you appreciate my modest guide. It is addressed to newbies like me ( ) that want more performance from their SE standard ROM.
I will check and try to update this guide as more news come, however you can always help me to reach this goal and suggest all the mistakes I made writing this tutorial
Thank youuuuu ^^
Wow, PaVi90.
wow, nice work.
Thank you guys
Well done!
great job, very helpful
I thought, I've done great with my phone, I just learned that I still have to do two more steps, from what I read from here...
Great guide. Thanks...
excellent and thanks for the guide...
hello, see you soon
Hi everybody,
I am more than glad to hear that you found my guide useful! =) Thank you!!
Have already done all of this, but that is the best explanation of what enabling JIT does that I've seen.
Learned a little bit, thanks!
Delete Timescape ....fullstop
ur done. ur x10 will b fast
Very nice guide, thanks!!!
Great guide!!!
I have do it on my x10i but i have some problems.
- after xrecovery setup i can't charge offline the phone beacouse whenever i connect the microusb cable the phone turn on.

before enabling Xrecovery
deres a filee in system/bin/...[chargemon]
backup dat ..after enabling it .copy that file to its position nw u can charge ur fone when its off it wont turn onn
....Pc companion nd SEUS will notify yew dat u hav a new update cuming ... its false notification it will install the same firmware u having without rootcapibility ...if yew wanto noe dat a real firmware update has arrived for yewr regions X10... den stay in touch with this Forum. ...

Hi,
I try to answer
1) The "problem" of wake-up during charge is due to xRecovery. It changes the "way" the phone boots and thus also during charge the X10 will power on;
2) Did you check and install latest firmware BEFORE rooting? If you already have the latest firmware, don't upgrade otherwise you will lost all your customizations!

You're welcome!!
ONLY FOR NEON USERS
Hi everybody this is my first thread not because I'm lazy (that's also true but is a long story ). I managed to run android froyo on a htc touch dual neon 200 and now I'll show you how.
[SIZE="5"[COLOR="Red"]]THIS TUTORIAL IS USING FILES AND SOM COPIED PARTS FROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002683 IF THAT'S AGAINST THE RULE I HOPE THAT VSAVICHEV WILL COMPLETE HIS TUTORIAL WITH MINE[/COLOR][/SIZE]
-YOU NEED A 2G AT LEAST MICRO SD (SDHC NOT TESTED)
-First of all update your radio with the last one and do the Hardspl, you can find lots of tutorials on this forum so I'll just skip over that.
-Download the NEON.zip file at the end of this tutorial.
-Download the android version from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2011-08-29-froyo/ , I used the system-froyo-eu-odex-29-08-11_19-patched.tgz version but if you find a newest one you probably can use that one without issues.
-Connect your htc neon to computer and go to the micro sd dir
-Now open NEON.zip and choice the .NBH file according to your phone version, then put it in the root of the micro sd.
-Rename the .NBH file you just moved as NEONIMAGE.NBH
-Create a new folder called andboot
-Rename the android os you downloaded as androidinstall.(the extention it already has, commonly is .tgz)
-Place the androidinstall.tgz file in the andboot dir
-Shut down the phone
-Hold camera button and press power button until it turns on
-Then phone will detect itself that there is a firmware is on your SD card and will ask your to press POWER button, so press it. Flashing takes about 20 seconds, after it's over pull the battery or press reset.
-Turn device on and wait until i says "Hold down Volume Up or DPad Center to launch installer" press and hold central button, you'll see installer menu. If you missed yo press button- reset and press it directly after seeing some output on the screen.
Choose Data & Sys on "(*) NAND" and press Install android, then answer yes twice. Now installation process is started, wait for a minute or so.
-And at last after installation is over press Quit, first boot takes some time so be patient. Then enjoy your Android.
IMPORTANT
You will not have a menu key whith this O.S. so download Buttonr Remapper for android, install it and define a button from the keypad as menu button. (ex. I used the enter button because is almost useless but you cand define any other button this way)
ENJOY
EDIT:
instead of installing the os on internal memory you must choice the sd card because neon 200 has 256 mb of internal memory, that means you have about 15 or 20 mb of free space after installing.
EDIT 2:
the install has to be made on the img files.. still some apps don't want to insall.
Well, i'm not angry, actually i'm happy, that someone used my work. What is interesting for me, is how did you use my files for neon, i thought there is different hardware. Was i wrong?
Nice to see you here (-:
Is there an updated version of your android ROM?
P.S.
The link in post is not valid
Well, my Nike is dead, so there is no chance that i continue work on the kernel, now i am really happy with HD2. So on the Nikes thread i just looking sometimes, if someone continues my work to help him if needed.
Tryin' out gingerbread version, cross you fingers for me
Finally also the Hurricane kitchen for OS Builder. You get WM6.0, WM6.1 (from Rose) and WM6.5 (from Captain/Maple) based XIP/SYS/package in the kitchen with the OEM parts from my batch-kitchen for Hurricane which was largely ported from the Tornado WM6 kitchen done by nitrogen.
You need OS Builder (see link above) and the archive from below link, then:
- Install OS Builder
- unpack the archive
- go to the relevant folder (WM60, WM61 or WM65)
- double-click on the file "OSBuilder.osb"
- push the green "play" button in the button bar -> see the build being created
- at the end you get OS.BIN along the OSBuilder.osb file
- upload this to your device via MTTY "l" (load) command
Mind that the MTTY can have 2 presets for the "load" command by pushing the "F" button in the toolbar. Set the "Download Command" to just "l" (the lowercase letter "L" without quotes) and select the "First time download file name" with the "..." button to the OS.BIN that you have created. So instead of typing (no quotes): "l my-path\os.bin" in the MTTY window, just push the Button "1" aside the "F" button. In case not present enter for the "mask ROM start address" just 00000000.
Kitchen is located here:

If you have a shipped ROM still on your Hurricane, some more steps have to be done. The relevant tools are in the \tools folder of the packages. Follow the sequence in the folder "tobbbie-prepare-flashing-(one-time-per-device)". I had started to link that to the OSB Tools menu as well but this is not complete.
tobbbie, tnx for the kitchen!
Does backlight driver work good on wm 6.5?
Thanks!
Backlight works as it should - no difference between builds. Mind that the backlight has some quirks on the Hurricane. Some settings are useless (set to 'ff) and sometimes (within the settings menu, I think) keypress seems not to reset the backlight count-down, nothing severe though.
Compared to my batch kitchen here all the UPX-ed stuff is removed as it eats much more RAM per UPX-ed program. Mind that the use of the paging pool is not commonly understood. In short:
all exe/dll code is running within the paging-pool RAM space if possible.
if parts of the code are not accessed, the oldest code copy is discarded in the paging pool if new code needs to run
if the code is accessed again, it is loaded back from ROM to paging pool RAM and executes from there
So small paging pool -> slow device: the OS is busy swapping code in/out
UPX-ed exe/dll cannot load parts of the code from ROM as only the whole file can be read and decompressed to RAM. So if such code is run, it reserves the whole required RAM for its code, however outside the paging pool.
Better is that not UPX-ed run inside the paging-pool RAM and eat nothing extra for code space and well co-exist with other programs depending on their execution needs.
SDHC on Hurricane (and Typhoon)
20121003 Update (since no new posts allowed anymore):
Just to let you know: The SDHC lets the device also read FAT32 formatted SDXC cards (e.g.64 GB). It even reads more than one partition (I have 2 on my Android) and mounts both of them (32k Cluster size used).
Not sure how well the performance will be when managing data there - but reading a large music collection should be ok
More good news:
It seems that the SDHC support from Tornado also works on the Hurricane (even the Typhoon!). By replacing the drivers and related entries in the .rgu, the device still boots and gets access to an SDHC card (4GB, 8GB). Export via WM5torage works as well and chkdsk does not report problems for a 5GB full 8GB card.
It may still require some more testing - but finally all that I wanted to have on these devices is finally there
Will post the updates soon (just a few KB) -> DONE, advice included in ZIP.
This probably could even be done via a CAB file - but I will not check this.

Just go ahead, I hope there is a larger community than here at xda-developers. I feel lonely with my addiction to candy-bar smartphones
Everyone so proud of carrying a large touch brick in their pockets, sigh.
You should try out yourself first though before posting further.
tobbbie, i lost my mobile phone =(((
tobbbie
Thank you for your phone HTC Hurricane (since I lost my!)
Today finished russification your kitchen based on the OS Builder - for htc hurricane!
Russification about 99%. =)
All files sorted!
All ROM's checked-all works great!
here is link http://www.mediafire.com/?dpdx3zmvbaxn3mi
Thank you tobbbie!!!
P.S. WOW, I forgot to say that now cab files are not deleted after installation!
