The second type of drift people have reported is when they boot back to WinMo, and they're clock is 6, 8 etc hours off.  This is because Windows stores the time locally, and Linux (and a lot of other systems) store in UTC or GMT.  Usually if you sync the time in WinMo with your network provider, you'll never have a problem.  Some have said this still doesn't work, then a third party app for WinMo that keeps time in sync is necessary.

FAQ

How to sync WinMo with Google

How much space do I need on my Storage Card?

The data.img file by default is 256mb. With everything else, it's usually around 480mb, so a 512mb card will just barely suffice - you won't be able to fit much else on the card except for XDAndroid however!

My touchscreen doesn't work / poorly calibrated

Delete the ts-calibration file from the root of your SD card (or where ever you run haret.exe from). The next boot you will see a calibration screen, watch the boot process carefully!

LED always orange / green

This represents sleep state (Orange=Wake, Green=Sleep). If you never seen green, the phone isn't properly sleeping. Make sure GPS is disabled, as this will kill sleep.

Time Drift

There are two types of time drift reported - if you notice your clock drifting in Android, download ClockSync (on the Market) - I have it set to sync the clock every hour.

The second type of drift people have reported is when they boot back to WinMo, and they're clock is 6, 8 etc hours off. This is because Windows stores the time locally, and Linux (and a lot of other systems) store in UTC or GMT. Usually if you sync the time in WinMo with your network provider, you'll never have a problem. Some have said this still doesn't work, then a third party app for WinMo that keeps time in sync is necessary.
