Google’s Mobile Operating System Android has finally made its way to the Touch Pro and Diamond. The Download has been release over at Connect-UTB.com

This is great news for HTC Touch Pro and Diamond users. Many have been waiting patiently (and not-so-patiently) for an alternate to Windows Mobile on their devices. But be warned, there are still quite a few kinks needing to be worked out, but it’s sure fun to look at your device with Android! There is still no Wifi, Camera, Sounds, Accelerometer. Let us know how it goes for you in the comments!

Download the 6-21-2009 version at Connect-UTB.com (direct download – 27mb)

Instructions
1 - Download the .rar file and extract the contents to your desktop. You should have a folder called tmp there now.
2 - Connect your phone to the computer with a mini-USB cable.
3 - copy the tmp folder to your memory card root (Raphael) or internal storage root (Diamond). The tmp should then be located in [memory card]/tmp Inside the tmp folder is a boot folder. You may put that anywhere or
leave it in tmp.
4 - Disconnect the usb-cable and soft-reset your Touch Pro\Diamond
5 - Open up the file explorer, find the tmp directory and launch haret.exe and click run.
6 - Wait for android to boot up, and enjoy! At the first boot it takes a while before the android boot screen comes up and then the boot screen (with the glowing android) stays up quite long before you get to the boot screen.
Subsequent boots are faster.

Q: Will this replace Windows Mobile?
A: No, for now, Android is launched through Haret which just shuts down Windows Mobile and boots into a Linux environment before booting Android. Once you restart your phone, you will be back to Windows Mobile exactly like you left it.

Q: When launching Android, it asks for my PIN-code, but it doesnt accept the one i type in!
A: You have to disable the PIN-Code authentication in Windows Mobile before booting up Android.

Maybe I’m a few years late in noticing this, but I just realized the “FNG KB” (Fu#@%ing keyboard) icon to open up the keyboard. Made me laugh. Who knows, maybe they meant “finger keyboard” but I think “Fu#@%ing keyboard” sounds funnier. Maybe I’m making an idiot of myself by posting this. It’s late.

Anyways, many props to the folks that developed the awesome Finger Keyboard 2. I’d definitely suggest that if you own the HTC Touch Diamond, you install this keyboard on your phone. It will make life a whole heck of a lot easier!
