NativeSD WM #5 Applications (Run Backup Restore Delete)

Windows Mobile 6 programs

CLRCAD and HaRet

CLRCAD.exe needs to be run in Windows Mobile to enable sound for HD2 Android. See post by DarkStone1337 who comments "Don't worry if nothing happens, this is normal." HaRET (Handhelds Reverse Engineering Tool) is used to boot Linux from within Windows Mobile. More information is available in this thread Linux and Android on the HD2. Both executables are provided in the above link #3 Install Recovery

There are a number of Windows Mobile 6 programs that will automate the task of running CLRCAD.exe and then HaRET.exe from the correct folder in order to load Android on your HTC HD2 Leo. A list can be found in the XDA Wiki:

Notable is the WM .exe file created by o82239 called "Multiple Android-Starter (WinMo 6.5 + NativeSD-Android)" that allows you to select which NativeSD Rom you want to run from WM (assuming you have more than one ROM stored in a sub-directory of "NativeSD") or to run any one of 4 different Recovery programs (assuming you put them in the directory "4EXTRecovery", "twrp2", "twrp2.3.3.0.ex" or "recoverytytungbackup").

Recovery scripts

Tytung has written a "NativeSD Touch Recovery" [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33668198#post33668198] tool that runs in Recovery to allow you to Backup, Restore or Delete a NativeSD ROM. It saves the backup to your SD Card in /sdcard/NativeSD/Backup/

https://sites.google.com/site/nativesdtouchrecovery/

It works perfectly for Windows Mobile WM6.5 users who boot 4EXT Recovery from SD using the 4EXT Recovery. To use it, from Recovery, flash NativeSD_Touch_Recovery_v1.0.zip. More details can also be found in the XDA Wiki:

Tytung Softkeys_Switcher_for_NAND_and_NativeSD works for all kinds of ICS/JB NAND/NativeSD ROMs. Use Recovery to Flash Softkeys_Switcher_for_NAND_and_NativeSD.zip to enable/disable the virtual softkeys after installation. See his post #11593.

TWRP Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery that now has Extended Features including Built-in NativeSD manager. See [RECOVERY] Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) | Extended

kokotas Extended TWRP is touchscreen and supports NativeSD. See Extended TWRP

Android Apps

datagr has created an Android app for "nativeSDMultiBoot" that allows you to choose which NativeSD ROM you will boot next. He has expanded it to include backup and restore running from within Android. Search for his posts on the main NativeSD thread:

c1cl0n has written an Android app "CM9 NIGHTLY Port Manager" for his [NIGHTLY] CyanogenMod 9 [tytung HWA R3.5] [SD/NativeSD] thread. Using this manager you can change your system values of DPI & make Softkeys visible. It works on most NativeSD ROMS, not just CM9. After making the changes, you have to reboot.

Titanium Backup root is one of the most popular Android Apps (free or paid) as it allows you to backup apps and data from one NativeSD ROM and restore them to another NativeSD ROM. Unfortunately it is not easy to restore the icons on your Android Desktop and care should be taken when restoring Apps from one version of Android to another. This wiki may be helpful:
