How to get Android on your i780?
You need:

Haret 0.52

Image

rootFS

Reversion 163

1.
-> partition your SD Card to:
> 1st Partition: ext3
> 2nd Partition: fat32

2.
-> unpack the haret in a folder on the fat32 partition. Copy the Image file in the same folder.
-> change in the default.txt:
- RAMSIZE to 0X04000000
- mtype to 2265

3.
-> unpack all folders and files for rootFS to the ext3 partition

4.
-> now you can boot ANDROID by starting haret.exe and than "run"

  5. Hi,

    I did everything in this guide. However, after making the 2 partitions and ext3 as first partition, I can't see anything when inserting my SD card in my phone.

    Do I need to use a special application for this?

    Then use Gen.Y dual boot as boot loader for dual OS like on your PC
