As far as I can find, there seems to be no simple app that allows you to do a complete backup of an Android phone. I used to use either Sprite or SPB Backup under WM which allowed you to create an executable file which you could run after a hard reset to restore your phone to its position at the date you made the backup.

It looks like that's not possible under Android. The built-in backup doesn't seem to do a lot as I still had to put back my apps and many of my settings.

What I have found are Sprite for Android, My Backup Pro and Titanium Backup, although Titanium needs a rooted phone.

Is there nothing similar in Android that essentially creates an image of the phone so that you can do a full restore after a hard reset?

If not, what is the best way to backup as much as possible?
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Well, with custom ROMS there can be app2sd (saves the apps on the sd). That also backs up the apps you have.

Otherwise it's also possible (after a hard reset) to login the market again and download all your previous installed apps again.

For a complete backup (e.g. also to save a certain version of a rom, a full NAND backup) you have to make a 'Nandroid' backup.

But! That is only possible with a custom recovery rom as far as I know. And there isn't one yet for the Desire.

On my Hero I've been updating quite some ROMs without the need of a hard reset. Which is already quite an improvement over the WM rom updating :D With Android you can update ROM without hard resetting, and it usually keeps working just fine.

But then again, I always make a full Nandroid backup before installing the new ROM just to be safe.
[Desire General] sh500:
Also a former WM user and Sprite Backup did a great job on those devices. Seems like Android works differently with that respect. In fact Sprite Backup seems to get quite a few bad reviews on the Market.

I'm a little bit inclined to post this here instead on the news section since it's related directly to our device, but here goes:

Laptop Magazine is running a March Madness smartphone play-off, and the current contest pits the HTC HD2 against Palm Pre.

Palm Pre is currently in the lead with 5211 votes vs HD2 at 3619 votes as of 5:59PM CST. Votes are open till 9 a.m. EST tomorrow, April 1st, and of course the big question is whether you would wanna see your beloved HD2 gets knocked out by the uhhh, Palm Pre...?

I'm pretty sure if we can mobilize half of the ppl here at xda to vote we'll be able to knock out the race, so spread the news and vote!

so can i insatll update on a custom rom ?

The rule of many forums: search before ask, this thread will be closed soon. But anyway, you ask questions and I will answer them somehow.

I hava install a rom on my xperia ( old rom and now i wanna update it )

so can i insatll update on a custom rom ? => Yes, you can. But be sure that the rom on your X1 is really a custom rom (hard SPL)

and if who can i downlode updates !!! => it's your choice man, no one can tell. Good luck.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] the_black_dragon:
yes and no for update!!!

you can do a complete rom update of your X1 (flash a news custom rom but only if you have HARDSPL like said before) but this will erase all data in Phone memory.....

it is not possible to update like on PC with patches!!! (it is possible but no one does this ^^)

Hi, DoDo77, first a question from me: How old are you, that you can`t read the 10 sticky treads over yours ?

Im having trouble in what phone to get help. I been using a windows mobile 6.0 phone a t-mobile dash for almost 2 years. I never had a data plan for internet first of all. What I used the phone for was of cousre making and recieveing calls, texting, and syncing my microsoft outlook contacts to the phone with the commom active sync or whatver its call forgot.

SO this means no emailing and internet usage on the the dash, once n a while conect to a wifi router here in house or out somehwere.

The phones I been looking at are:

nokia n900

htc hd2

"I want to say a android phone like a nexus 1" but I kinda like the a phone to directyl sync with micro outlook for contacts seems like googles phones is all online and dont know if I need data plan on my service jsut for syncing contacts.

I use contacts to store my customers info, I have my own mobile/onsite computer tech bussiness.

Man I just dont know which one, I had a iphone 2g all touch phone but seems like when typting text or something my fingers are probalby to big but I type faster with a physical keyboard of some type. Thanks
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
I have been using a T-Mobile HTC HD2.

The phone is terrible. I've also used an iPhone's touch screen keyboard, and it was a terrible experience. On the HTC HD2, the keyboard is even worst (especially on the landscape keyboard).

However, the portrait keyboard is a little better but just as terrible as the portrait keyboard on the iPhone.

The device is actually very fast, and the touch screen is responsive. However, the mono-sound loudspeaker is very low in volume and quality, and the camera pictures can not even compete with the Nokia E72's 5-Megapixel camera.

I do not like the phone.

.......

.......

.......

I have not used the Nokia N900 but I know for a fact these things:

1) Better battery life

2) 2 Speakers + Louder and Better than the HD2

3) Better camera

Here is some proof that I know what I am talking about with the N900:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stryker759a:
Well I installed the Cyanogen Rom V5.0.5.3 I did a nandroid back installed the Amon_Ra's recovery on the phone also. My next question is how to i install themes? Do i just copy and paste theme on my sd card? and install them by using a file manager?

Thanks

Jason
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Austin021296:
If you are suppose to flash the theme in recovery just place the file on the root of your sd card and flash it. If it is a morph theme you need to download metamorph from the market and place the theme on the root of your sd card and select the theme in metamorph.

Also make sure the theme is compatible with cyanogen or it will not work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scuzzy19:
Are you planning on using a morph?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stryker759a:
Well i can use metamorph doesn't matter. If i was to flash it would it be just like how i flashed the google apps in recovery Mod is that what you were saying? Where can i find themes that are compatible for the cyanogen rom? Thanks for the responses.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vially:
I've tried a lot of them but I stopped at Timeriffic. I highly recommend this one, it's free, no nagware and works as it is intended. I have a Desire.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuttakit:
Because in some country data package is not unlimit, and it charge on time-base not data-base (meaning if you open data connection for 10 minute, it charge you for ten minute even if you not download anything)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdrrlabs:
Thanks for using and suggesting Timeriffic to others. We appreciate the endorsement. As noted you do get control over the time to toggle on/off. The biggest battery drain is screen brightness for those of you looking to stretch the battery. Manage it and you will gain a lot of extra minutes of daily use between charges.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkStinger:
I also recommend Timeriffic. I have been using that app since almost the day I bought my phone. I have changed very few settings and it has helped out quite a bit. I also installed JuiceDefender but since I was already using something else, that seemed to be doing just fine, I really haven't done anything with it. I am sure you cannot go wrong with either app to be honest.

Yeah i just got my HTC HD2 the other day and so far ive been using the silicone case that comes with it..what ive noticed is that the phone feels so much better in hand without the case and wayy less bulky.

.my question to you guys is the build quality well enough to just put in my pocket and not scratch it. i know the battery cover is metal so no worries there but what about the soft coating on top and bottom. ?..

opinions from any of you that have not used a case? how is the condition of your hd2?

thanks.

[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
I am interested to know how durable is the rubbery material and the rigid camera bezel under these conditions. Please share your experience. Does it scratch? Dent? Deep scratch/dent? Tiny hairline scratch?

1) Dropped

2) Carelessly placing it on the table or rough surface

3) Bumped it walking into something

4) Dropped it from your seat

5) Using it with the ring still on your finger next to the camera bezel?

Just how durable is this HD2's build material?
[HD2 General] football_fan:
I personally agree with the reviewers about the build quality being just awesome. HD2 users can confidently use the phone without a case with ease as the metal n rubber coating pretty much wont get scratched / damaged easily. but.. one thing ppl have been talking bout is the glass screen cracking. i've dropped it once but so far so good, no scratches / cracks at all. but overall i would still say, really really good build quality.
[HD2 General] appelflap:
I never had any screenprotectors or any screen protecting cases. Although I use it a bit without care (put the phone in a pocket without caring to much if there are any "scratchers" in it) I haven't noticed any scratch on my screen yet.

But I do have a silicon jacket! Not to protect the casing, but to protect the screen. I have seen way too many pictures of HD2's with a broken screen. And the screen was always broken in one of the corners. The silicon case (same model as shipped with the tmous HD2) definitely protects the corners of the screen when the HD2 drops. (tested :eek: )

FYI I have the HD2 for 5 months now
[HD2 General] bronx:
it is serious bull****, as leo's screen CAN be scratched. glass is covered with some plastic layer and just a tiny little bit of sand in Your pocket can do the damage.
[HD2 General] dgsroadshow:
I recall reading on one thread about somebody using a silicone cover on their hd2 and when they took it off it peeled the covering from the metal back plate so beware of certain silicone covers !!

Otherwise good solid build quality !! compared to iPhone

how many "no service" "cracked screen""missing button" "no sound"

"battery completely dead" iPhones will be listed on ebay today ? lol.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I wouldn't dream of using my HD2 without the leather case it came with, all other HTC phones I have had (four of them) I have taken them out of the box and put them right into my pocket.

But the HD2 is too nice and valuable to me to let it get tattered, I gently place it on tables just in case the silver cutting on the camera gets dented, in fact, 99 times out of 100 I place it on the case.

But then again I might just be overly anal about keeping it prestine. :rolleyes:

Well it seems like you have most of the basics down. ROMs are going to be about 90% personal preference. Take a look at the screen shots, users comments, etc and find which one will work the best for you. A lot of people tend to like Energy ROMs from what i've seen (although I've never used one).

Hello,

I tried to extract nk.bin and it was extracted well.

But, dumprom have any bug.

After dumprom util extract files from nk.nb0, it change arm files to mips files.

I extracted files as the following steps;

First, download nk.bin from attached files.

One is arm nk.bin file for wince 5.0 and the other is arm nk.bin file for wince 6.0.

And, download nkbintools files to extract bin image files.

nkbintools also have dumprom util.

1. to dump the content of a nk.bin:

viewbin.exe nk.bin

(write down start and length)

2. cvrtbin -r -a START -w 32 -l LENGTH nk.bin

this command converts the nk.bin to a nk.nb0 (START and LENGTH from the command bevor)

3. dumprom.exe -d dump -v -5 nk.nb0

the content of the nk.bin will be written in the directory "dump". It must exists, otherwise an error occurs.

4. now, see files that is extracted and you will know that they are changed to MIPS files.

Anybody who know why they are changed MIPS files?
