(you can try any other version you like...)
after downloading, copy the "Android" folder to the root folder of your storage card.
( root folder = top level, main folder... )
it should look like this: Storage card/Android
You are done!
To run android you should first disable "Automatic adjust backlight". (and set the backlight to 100% ).
You will find this on windows mobile settings here: settings tab. click on "Sound and display", scroll down to "backlight" and click on it.
Every time you want to start using Android do this:
Go to the android folder on the storage card.
Click on the "CLRCAD.EXE" file, ( you will get no action on the screen but it's normal).
Click the "HARET.EXE" file to launch Android! (the first time may take up to 10 minutes to run)
When you want to go back to windows mobile:
Soft reset the phone or turn off the phone (long press the power button and choose to turn off) or remove the battery.
