[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephestione:
Why, thank you for the detailed howto! ;)

ATM I basically only sync WM6.5 only with my Windows 7 machine, yet after a mobile OS switch I'd very much like to have also my ubuntu laptop synced, and that's why I delved into the linux issue.

I reckon AOSP means Android Open Source Project, yet I'm not sure what distinguishes AOSP from NOT AOSP... could you please elaborate on that? Maybe all the releases which don't come from a certain carrier are AOSP? I suppose most if not all the android NANDs for HD2 are AOSP.

Yet, going sense just for the sake of importing data and then flashing a non-sense (pun not intended) ROM may go fine as well... even if officially sprite migrate if out of beta test, and not available, but I suppose I can easily find it "elsewhere"!! (even if it seems to migrate everything BUT calendar....)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
You got me... I don't know so much Android yet.

So to be clear. I used MDJ and especially Gauner's build (good one) and on them spritebackup was working.

Then I went for HyperDroidGBXv5.0 which is the best for me (I mean for what I need from Android)... only issue... spritebackup was not working. So I imagined (maybe a not good shortcut) that it will not work on AOSP. It's written on the first post that all soft are not compatible with xxx (realize now it's maybe gingerbread instead of AOSP). Check Pongster thread, first page.

I didn't notice spritemigrate was not available anymore as I done this just once when I removed WM.

I also never noticed it can't transfer the agenda as I never backup it. If you do so, you will have all your meeting duplicate on the Lotus Server.

In fact, Outlook is my source for agenda (HD2 is just a display unit); HD2 is the source for my contact, I just keep a backup "in case".

You have to adapt all my findings to what you really need to do. But I think it's possible (maybe it required few steps as you can see).

It worth the effort when you have more than 400 contacts!!! :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
I don't know why I do this but I keep all sms, call logs and of course contacts from the first day of my phone.

I realize I'm maybe a little bit nuts :eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephestione:
I do keep all that data too, mainly just to stress out my phone into being a small database :p

Anyway, regarding sprite products: migrate is off the hook for now, no working products for the time being as this is out of the beta testing period, and there is no official version out.

I've read somewhere (looked like a legit howto website) that you could backup PIM data with WM sprite backup, and restore it inside Android with Android Sprite backup, but it appears that information was bogus, as sprite backup in android doesn't even recognize backup files made from WM, the extension is also different, and changing the extension doesn't solve it.

So the only viable option appears to be the installation of outlook to which you have to move all the data (contacts and agenda are ok, but will outlook save sms and call logs too? don't think so), and then import that data into android with MPE. I probably will have to "borrow" outlook somewhere :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
I'll check if I still have the beta.

Will PM you in this case.

For sync of sms I know that I can sync my SMS with outlook under Android (MyPhoneExplorer). Careful I just see that I can configure it but I never used it (will try next week and post the result here).

I remember a soft "Jeyo something" which gave me the ability to sync SMS with outlook on WM.

It was not so stable as it sometime crashed outlook. This was due to compatibility issue with DAMO and this was much more important for me. Google it as there is different version of Jeyo, one of it is for the sync WM/Outlook (you can sync but also send&receive SMS from Outlook... except the problem with DAMO very nice tool).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephestione:
The Migrate tool can actually be still downloaded off the market, as there's a BETA2 around, it's just that the program refuses to work as it's expired.

I didn't try the old method of scamming the software telling it I live in the past (like in the old PC days), but the fact that the beta is the only functioning tool, and it's expired leaving no other options is sad enough to have deprived me of the interest in using it :p

When I sort out the reason for which android seems to vaporize the battery as soon as I start the superram build, then I may get hold of outlook to do the sync job together with MPE... thanks for the help until now ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Battery issue, you can try this build. I'm very happy with it: HyperDroidGBXv5

It's always on the first page of the NAND forum as so many people posts comments. I read it for a long time now and it has very small issues for everyone.

You just need to check if you like it or not. It required CWM... but if you manage to sync with outlook, you'll have no problem to use CWM ;)

For the migration tool, didn't know it will expired. Lucky I move to Andoid long time ago.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] desert1:
Hi and thank you very much for your share and the very useful information.

I am currently using a HD2 (OS: 5.2.21913, ROM: 3.14.707.3 & Radio: 2.15.50.14) and have always wanted to switch over to running Android on this wonderful piece of hardware.

I have experimented running the SuperRAM FroYo Version 1.5 by darkstone1337

and must say that the performance was really, really fast and impressive.

However, one major consideration that is holding me back from switching over to Andorid is the potential lost of infromation in my Contacts (600+) and Appointments. These are currently sync to Outlook 2003 and like you, I prefer to manage these directly on my computer and not through a third party like Google.

Hence, I would like to find out from you:

1. Did you have any problem syncing your Contacts and Appointments on Outlook 2010 to your HD2 running the Andorid OS?

2. Did you encounter any loss with the Contact details like single contact with multiple addresses and contact numbers?

3. Did you also managed to transfer all of your SMS from Windows Mobile to Android? If so, what software did you use?

Hope you can share your experience and thanking you in advance!

:)

Did you m

You mention getting the usb driver off the htc sync exe package... did you manage it, and so you can attach the driver in here?

Otherwise, as I'm downloading the almost 70MB (ach) package off htc website, I will try and get the driver off that instead. I do not plan to install that monster on my pc anyway :p

EDIT: I suppose there is no point in uploading ~15mb worth of stuff to megaupload, the setup exe uncompresses the BMP usb driver and HTC Driver setup in temp folders, but those files are still other installers. I didn't go as far as to exact the driver inf's, so well, good grief, just download and install htc sync :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
@desert1

As explained i only sync my agenda with outlook. I use the phone just to display meetings. Contact are sync with mpe just as backup. I will provide more explanations from my laptop ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] desert1:
Hi truc007,

Many thanks and looking forward to hear from you soon!

Cheers!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephestione:
Managed to copy over agenda and contacts by "borrowing" outlook 2007, sncing to it with WM, then syncing from it to android with MPE. Outlook would crash the first time whenever it was called by MPE, but after a reboot it just worked, even if very slowly.

After that, I suppose you can ditch Outlook since you can have agenda and contacts sync through MPE with thunderbird (with lightning addon).

Anyway, I need to thank the OP "negatively": thanks to him explaining how to copy over PIM data without google poking its nose in it, I could focus on actually testing android instead of being distracted by the PIM transfer dilemma.

Doing this, I realized a shocking thruth:

Android is all fun and games, until you actually need to work with your phone.

Even PocketPC2002's excel was better than any spreadsheet app you find in the market, handbase for android is crippled to the point that any other free database in the market is equal in functionalities, and still useless for me.

And after that, I didn't go on checking alternatives to other applications I use on WM to manage my job :(

On the other side, when you need to do flashy things with your phone, like browsing imdb or keeping a workout/calory burning schedule, or manage your own virtual cafeteria, well android is good :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] keymon:
It works for me, too.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
So do not test WM7!!!! It's worst :rolleyes:

The problem is that you're not the targeted customer anymore :p

In the past, "profesional" bought handheld devices. There were not fun but all the sync, office app... were mandatory. Now, these devices are for normal end users. At least with android you can still have a "sort of" profesional use even if it's more job than with WM6.

That's life... but for "profesional geeks" it's hard days :D

nb: sorry for the writing, GB is not my first language.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
And sorry to all for not answring your questions.

I changed my phone for a DHD and I have to spend a lot of my time to get rid of sense!!!

If you have questions regarding info in this thread do not hesitate to send a PM as I move now to the DHD part of XDA.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephestione:
heh have fun with the HD, I suppose since you want to use android anyway, that phone is more suited to your needs, being native.

On my side, I'll stick with WM6.5 as long as possible, and when I am forced to switch to something else, then I just pray there's something decent to work on for newer OSes as well.

Anyway, your first two posts are crystal clear, so you already did a nice job explaining how to sync data without giving it for free to google :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] kewes:
Hello! ;)

first of all: Thank you all guys for developing Rhobuntu and putting so much effort in this project.

I am planning an experimental Application that I would like to use in my studies. But i need a Smartphone (or a tablet) that runs Linux native (not Android). Furthermore i need to develop a small application that is able to receive sms.

Do you think, this is somehow possible with Rhobuntu? Or would you suggest any other Smartphone/Tablet/Linux ?

kewes ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] walter79:
you can use rhobuntu. sms works with last build. you can use sphone app from amipro

I recently flashed xperia pro mini ( prototype version which imei starts with 0044)

and phone wont start. It just vibrates, green led flash, and nothing happens. I tried many firmwares but with no luck.

There`s solution on the internet but I need prototype firmwares (flash files) and then it should be able to work again...

ANY HELP PLEASE < I`M DESPERATE THE PHONE I FLASHED IS NOT MINE , BUT MY EX AND SHE WANTS IT BACK :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Gothic-4-Schiffer:
Have you tried bin4ry's flash tool? It should be able to flash any of the firmware available from the same page
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
Yeah he knows that i guess he nees the prototyp FIRMWARE files
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uros86:
yes I used them...no luck ... the thing is that only prototype FIRMWARE files , ( test firmware files ) works in prototype phone. Actually , flashing with one of the bin4ry`s firmwares made my telephone dead. Of course bin4ry`s firmwares got nothing to do with it , my phone is the problem.

Any help?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uros86:
Flashing is not a problem...i flashed firmware without any errors , but after that when i tried to turn on my phone....nothing little vibration green led flashed,and black screen:(

do you have some friend with setool2 software ? ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uros86:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] maremestera:
I am in the same situation.

My mini pro has same prototype imei (0044...)

phone looks like x10 mini pro, but has some diferences: camera is only 3,2 MP and is central not like I see on other pitures. keyboard has more buttons, the hole for microphone is in the left side, to the keyboard

At first look, it seems to be x10 mini pro At&t branded

I also try all the bin4ry`s

PC companion sais I have latest software :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] X10Robin:
have you tried flashing the X10 mini software ?

Since it looks like a mini pro but is not 100% a mini pro.

Good change this is an development version of the mini, which also runs on mini software.

mine flashes OK with the Bin4ry tool + files.

But that is a mini proto. not a mini pro.

I have had the same behaviour after flasing X10 software in my mini....

So it looks like wrong software is in the phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] maremestera:
It's a minipro for sure. look this info:

I think the_laser user has the answer, somebody knows how to contact him, i wrote him but no answer.

Apparently the only way is with a setool box as the_laser said.

regarts!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uros86:

Hi everyone! This is my first post so don't doubt to tell me anything i do wrong...

I just finished a little icon pack for my LG GT540, and i'd like to share it with you. I've taken a little bit of here and a little bit of there to customize my launcher app shortcuts, hope you like them.

If anyone would like to give me any tips or recommendations about them i'll be pleased.

Thanx for this amazing forum!

PS: Could anyone tell me if there is any EASY way to turn the buttons of the Network switcher widget into red? that would be awesome...
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] wo0drow:
Thanks for your answer, but you have to be a little bit more specific. Please explain me how to do that or link me to a post where that stuff is explained, thanks again.

After some hours reading threads, fighting against png's, adding system paths, and signing apk's (never did any of these before...), i got to change my widget icons!!!i'm not sure how it got to work, but it works!

My last quest would be to change the widget font color, anyone can help with that?

PD: pashinator thanks again for your short but helpful post, the word "res" helped me find a thread where i learned where the icons are!

I have and like Handcent much better than the stock messaging system, but the issue I am having is that once I view the message on handcent, I have to go the the regular messaging program and view it there to get rid of the notification.

Is there a way to turn off the stock messaging system so that only handcent comes up?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Danny1911:
Hi ! I think the title is all I want to say ! ;D Simple Question.. but I'm waiting for a reply from someone who may know the answer..

PS: The reason I'm asking this is because, I'm currently using Android 2.2 NexusHD2 V1.9G NAND Build, so I'm happy a lot with it, but I want to test Windows Phone 7 of course, so I noticed that there isn't an SD Build of WP7, there is only NAND Build, so I must backup all my data from the SD Card & format it & you know.. takes time to prepare the device for the WP7, & backed up my NAND Android Build & converted it into a SD Android Build, so if I will like WP7, I will remain & will use it, & will use my Android Build on SD from now on.. but of course.. I will see if I will like it... who knows.. maybe I will not..:rolleyes:

So again, why I'm asking is because I don't want to see that I've wasted time on making my device run WP7 on NAND & Android on SD & after a few days to see how developers release a version of Windows Phone 7 which can be booted directly from SD Card... if you got my point of view..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] will9895:
Yeah I'm hoping for this too, I just want WP7 to play with, not as my primary OS (yet).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Android NAND versions came faster than expected, and virtually out of nowhere, WP7 NAND came. The developers behind those solutions are quite busy doing a lot of stuff for us, but you never should expect anything with exact timing.

Be thankful that all those solutions do exist at all. And from time to time, users like you and me should contribute in one or another way to make other things possible.

Last, but not least, the flashing process is so fast with an HD2, and there are so many really good backup solutions, that I cannot fully understand your request. If you´re intending to test a couple of days only, why hesitate? You can easily go back to another OS within really short time. Any other, in fact.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Danny1911:
Already Testing WP7 !

Well, you know what, I think you're right, & I'm already on Windows Phone 7 now.. I've backed up all my Android 2.2's Data with the ClockWork Mod's Recovery Feature & copied it to my PC, so now everything is backed up & I will stay a few days on WP7 & test it to see if I will really like it, & I will repartition my SD for to use both WP7 & Android & will put a good build of Android to be on SD so I can boot into via MAGLDR when I will want to... & will copy my Android Used Build's Data.img to the new Android Build which I will use it on SD..

So, anyway, thanks for fast reply... Good Luck to you Friends !

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buster3845:
Guys, I need a little help here. I've rooted my share of phones, and even some tablets, but the Evo i bought a few days ago has been a nightmare.

For some reason, and I can't tell why, this thing will not be recognized by Windows.

It always shows up as "Unknown Device" under the USB catagory on Device Manager.

I've tried different OS versions (Windows 7 64Bit, Vista 64bit, Even Mac). I've also pulled down every form of driver I can think of (SDK Orginal version, HTC Sync, Hboot Versions, etc.)

I just cannot get this thing to be recognized. And if I manually try to update the driver and point it to one that I've downloaded, Windows tells me that the most current driver is already installed.

The bottom line is that I need to be able to connect to the phone from the comp in order to push stuff via ADB and throw commands at it. The same unknown device situation happens when the phone is in bootloader or actually booted into Stock Froyo (2.2)

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I know i haven't, and it's buggin me out. :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
